Gaels Power Favored Against California Versatility Today NEW YORK, Oct. 2 (UP) President Roosevelt today saw the combination of record shattering Yankee slugging and crazy but effective pitching of Vernon "Lefty" Gomez crush the Giants 18 to 4 in pne of the most lop-sided contests in world series history. With Tony Laz-zeri and Bill Dickey leading the "suicide squad," the Yankees lived up to their reputation as one of the most murderous batting arrays ever assembled as they barraged a parade of five Giants' pitchers with 17 hits, establishing six new world series records and equalling four others. 43.543 See Game President Roosevelt was one of the 43,543 fans who saw the Yanks break the all-time record for runs scored in a series game. The former record of 13 had been held by the Yanks of 1932, the Giants of 1921 and the Athletics of 1911.

Lazzeri and Dickey also shat tered the record for runs driven in by individuals with five each. Lazzeri was the second man in series history to blast out a home run with the bases filled when he sent a homer screaming into the lower right field stands in the third inning. DiMaggio Ties Mark The Bronx Bombers concentrated their withering fire in two big innings, the third and ninth. They registered seven runs in the third, putting the game on ice, and blasting six more in the ninth. Joe DeMaggio equaled the record for putouts by an outfielder in one inning when he made three in the ninth.

His last putout of big Hank Leiber's 435-foot drive to far center when the Frisco Kid had to back clear to the scoreboard area-way was one of the most brilliant of the game. Gomez in Pain Gomez, who won only 13 and lost seven games during the 1936 season, was one of the heroes of the day because he pitched the last seven innings with his appendix on fire. He was alarmingly wild in times but in the pinches bore down. He struck out eight Giant batsmen. Meanwhile, the five Giant pitchers had only three strikeouts.

Hal Schumacher was blasted from the mound in the third with the bases loaded. Al Smith, a left-handed curve ball artist, relieved Schumacher but lasted only a portion of the thurfdering third. He was relieved by Dick Coffman, who was taken out for a pinch hitter in the fourth, and Frank "Gabby" Gab-ler started the fifth. Gabler gave way to a pinch hitter in the eighth and Harry Gumbert, a righthander, was the victim in the six-run ninth. BOX SCORE Yankees AB.

in passing. Floyd Chapman and Bill Archer are touted as better punters than Floyd Maxham, who will do most of the kicking for the Gaels, but the Gaels say Maxham is good enough. Against Gonzaga last Sunday Maxham averaged 32 yards. Last Saturday Chapman verged 48 yards. Falkenstein may start at right half for Sill of St.

Mary's. Groux Will be at left and he will give the Bears plenty to stop on those off-tackle plays. Meek and Herwig, two 200-pounders, are supposed to smear any Gael who sticks his head through the Bear line, and it is expected they will have a busy afternoon, for the Gaels appear to have real power this year, when they care to pour it on. A crowd of about 60,000 is expected. The game will start at 2:30 o'clock.

illlQI.1811 DAVIS, Oct. 2 (AP) The California Aggies scored their first football victory of the season here today, defeating Humboldt State College of Areata with a smashing three-touchdown drive in the second half. The score was 18 to 0. After a scoreless first half, Chris Graves, veteran quarterback and captain, tallied for the Aggies in the third quarter when! he broke loose off tackle and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. Chet Dormer, Aggie halfback, made the second score in the fourth quarter, running 25 yards around end to pay dirt, and Graves fired a 30 yard pass to Pinky Redden, end, for the third touchdown also in the fourth quarter.

Expected to Repeat Traditional Win Over Oregon Gridders By United Press Indian signs, jinxes or just plain tradition will play a big part in Pacific coast intercollegiate football this weekend, when a program of 30 games is offered for. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday entertainment of fans from the Canadian border to San Diego. There's the tradition that Oregon teams, no matter how good, can't win in Los Angeles, where Saturday University of Oregon meets U.S-C.; there's the jinx of Palouse which is supposed to help Washington State win games on its home grounds, where on Saturday the Cougars meet Stanford, and then there's 1 the hard luck which seems to attend almost every St. Mary's team which invades Berkeley stadium to play University of California's Golden Bears in their annual game Saturday. Oregon Tougher U.S.C.

will find University of Oregon a more stubborn foe than Oregon State was last week, but if the Trojan warhorse has what he seemed to have last week all kinds of power and punch the pupils of Howard Harding Jones will gallop to their second straight conference victory without too much trouble. Oregon's opener against Portland was unimpressive. Washington State, meeting Stanford for the first time through the round robin schedule, should start this new series with a win. The Cougars have Ed Goddard, and all they need is to let Goddard roam a bit against a Stanford team which failed to show much offense or defense last week. Jimmy Coffis, speedy halfback, will make the Stanford attack look, better at Pullman.

3 Coast Camp at Bay GROMO'S ORCHESTRA 'Ladies 15c Gents 35c' D-A-N-C-E Bellevue Grange Hall SatNight, Oct. 3 Boccaleoni Orchestra Gents 25c Ladies Free IB) CDLLEGEJBIIIE Santa Rosans Lose Ball on Pacific 3-Yard Line Two Minutes From Gun Outplayed for three-quarters of the game, Santa Rosa Junior college gridders were held to a scoreless tie by a lighter but fighting College of Pacific freshmen eleven last night at Bailey Field. A stubborn goal line stand by the little Bengals two minutes 'rom the end of tne game rob-jed Coach Dick Blewett's Bear of a scoring chance and the visitors' undefeated ecord against Junior college nto the third season. Roaring Finish A 15-yard aerial shot, Grubsr Elmore, and two slices off by Minitzky, Santa Rosa's ripping fullback, set the stage i for a finish that had a crowd of 2,000 fans on their ieet yelling. The plays brought the ball from midfield to a Bear Cub first down on Pacific's 13.

Minitzky added three through the-same tackle hole in the right side of the Bengal line, was held, and the officials came in to help the cause, pacing off yards against C.O.P: for offside. Min- itzky stepped to a first down on the three yard line. Two minutes to go, and the Pacific line cinched up. Minitzky tried the same hole and was tossed for a two-yard loss. He gained one back by diving over a' pileup, but on an attempted flat pass, Irish was smeared three yards back.

Minitzky tried to' go from the eight yard line, but was stopped in his tracks, and as Pacific was preparing to take possesion of the ball, the officials stepped in with another offside penalty to give the Cubs another chance. Last Play Fails They could have been given a dozen more chances. Pacific was' just not to be scored on, and Minitzky was tossed yards short of the final stripe on the last Cub play. Mitchell took the ball on Pacific's first play, and the game ended with the visitors in possession on their own four-yard line. That was the story of the game.

A Bear Cub team that apparently should have advanced at will beat feebly against surprisingly strong Pacific defenses, sparking only once in the game in that belated fourth period rally, and bogging down at the payoff. Most of the play that had gone before found the Cubs fighting off desperate Pacific thrusts that regularly threatened to result in a score. Bengals Score Early The first Pacific stab came at the close of the first quarter after Lyman, Santa Rosa's outstanding lineman, had come out of his tackle position to kick from midfield to Glenn Happe, midget Bengal safety, on the Pacific ten. Happe returned to the 20, and on the second play, Polka, Pacific fullback and most consistent ground gainer, sliced to a first down on the 35. Happe tried the line for two short gains, and shot a pass to Meyers, end, for a first on the Cub 40, and Pacific was in enemy territory for the first time at the start of the second quarter.

Pacific was forced to punt, but on the exchange from Lyman, took the ball on the 45. Then the Bengals lashed out. On the third play from scrimmage. Sopar, sub halfback, fired a pass to Dotters, end, good for 15 yards and a first on Santa Rosa's 20. Polka made it a first down in four plays on the Cub eight, and Pacific was knocking at the gate.

Two plays were held, a shovel pass to Meyers gained but three yards, and then the same combination. Sopor to Dotters, almost clicked for a score. Cordero, Cub defensive fullback, was riding Dotters into the ground in the end zone as Sopar's air shot kicked up the goal line chalk at the Pacific end's Fumble Costly Lyman kicked out, but after an DANCE OCCIDENTAL Saturday, October 3 GOOD MUSIC Admission: 35c CHECK 111 i "POOSH 'EM UP" 9 TONY LAZZERI And he did it in the third inning of yesterday's game that saw the Yankee sluggers knot the World Series count with a smashing 18-4 victory over the Giants. The second-sacker tied a world's record by beiting a home run with the bases loaded, a blow that broke up the ball game and unloosed a deluge of Yankee basehits. Johnson Hero of Marin Win Over S.F.

State, 32-0 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2 (UP) Marin Junior College ran and passed to a 32-0 victory over San Francisco State College in their annual football meeting tonight before 5000 spectators at Roberts field.Harold Johnson, halfback, and Jim Mullen, quarterback, led the Marin attack. Johnson scored the first touchdown on a 72 yard run in the first period. In the third quarter he snagged a punt and sprinted 59 yards for another score. Mullen scored his first touchdown on a 36-yard forward pass play and his second on a one yard pass after the junior college eleven had marched 31 yards.

The final touchdown came in the last minute of plav on a 50-yard pass play with Bill Adams throwing anoV, Frank Smith receiving. John Allen converted the extra point once on a placement and Ted B. Bibhardt added another extra point on a plunge. San Francisco, hampered by injuries to backfield stars, marched to scoring territory four times, once to the one-foot line, but lacked the punch to score.

THIRD ANNUAL Free Barbecue FRED SWIFT and "DUTCH" PFISTER Invite you to enjoy a Muletail Deer Sandwich with them TONIGHT The Barrel House 210 FOURTH STREET '4 llMltlMl-ltl W- 4 rV lvfii tv if''' Starritt, Kinney to Bear Brunt of High School Running Attack Coach Vern Hickey's Santa Rosa High school Panthers launch their 1926 North league grid campaign this afternoon against San Rafael high at San Rafael. The kickoff is at 2:30 o'clock. Attack vs. Attack Fearing ihe wide-open attack displayed by Coach C. A.

Lon-dahl's light but fast Bulldogs in their opening league game against Vallejo last week, the Panthers are prepared to meet offense with offense. "We'll have a defense, but 1 expect San Rafael to score," Hickey said after the week's final drill last night. "Our point is to score too, only more often, and I doubt if they can stop us." I In light of such prediction, observers are anticipating a high scoring game that invariably accompanies a free style of attack. Bulldogs One Down Little known of San Rafael's strength aside from the "fact that they are already in league deficit after a 21-7 beating at Vallejo last week, Their outstanding player of 1935, all-league quarterback Lar-gomarsino, has graduated, but his place as leader has been taken by Brusatti, veteran end who gained all-league mention last year. Brusatti figures prominently in Ihe Bulldog aerial attack, which is rated among the most danger-eus of any of the league elevens.

Passing Combination The Panthers will match San Rafael's air thrusts with the combination of Starritt to Noo-nan, which clicked for gains against Berkeley in practice competition here last week. Had Noonan stickier fingers, the play would have gained considerably more yardage against the Yel-lowjackets. The Panther running attack will be shared by Starritt and Walt Kinney, left half, with yardage also expected from Cambra, playing the right half reverse position and at safety. Cambra sparkled against both Berkeley and Woodland in returning punts. Once he sees daylight, Cambra has proven the ability to eat up open yardage.

Wells Line Pillar Defense will rest mainly on the shoulders of Dan Rudolfi and Bill Holbrook, starting tackles, and Howard Wells, veteran all-league center and expert at backing up the line. Starritt will have his share as defensive fullback. The way to touchdowns will be paved, if possible, by Fred Ditt-man, veteran guard, and Vince Baldi. starting left guard. Ed Fischer, who turned in two outstanding practice game perlorm-ances, will complete the Panther forward wall opposite Noonan and left end.

Paul Guidiee. new Panther quarterback, will lead the back-field at the signal berth. Expecting to see action will be Vern Csven, veteran tackle, Ko-noff, quarterback, Russell Smith, guard, Guarnelli, full, and Doug Luney, half.

The game was played before 17.000 persons.

Montana put up a brisk battle for the first 15 minutes, moving the ball into Bruin territory. It was the last Grizzly attack, however, until the final minute of plav when Montana moved to UCLA's six yard line. Young Bill Spaulding, the coach's son, started the first Bruin offensive, lugging the ball to Montana's 11 yard line in the first quarter. Early in the second period UCLA decided to cash in on Billy Bob Williams' bi toe. Williams drove the ball through the uprights from Montana's 37 yard line.

Don Ferguson, sub halfback, scored on a sweep play near the end of the half after he and Williams drove the ball to the opposing four yard line. The Bruins coasted in from there on. UCLA piled up 16 first downs against six for the visiting Grizzlies. The hard line running of Williams, Fred Funk, young Will Spaulding, Barnhill, and Cory served notice that the Bruins will have plenty of reserve backfield men for this season's campaign. Williams booted three out of three conversion tries, and drove in the longest place kick seen in the Coliseum for several seasons.

3. California and St. Mary's meet at Memorial Stadium this afternoon in a football game that may not mean so much to other sections of the country, but which is very important to the bay district. Since American football was resumed around here in 1915 these teams have played- 23 games; California won 15, St. Mary won five and three were tied.

There is a hint of rain, but California has a regular circus tent of a canvas covering to protect the field. The Bears think rain and a slow field would hurt them more than it would the Gaels, who have a considerable weight advantage in the line. The Bears must rely on speed, passing and an edge in kicking, and a wet field and a soggy ball would handicap them. But the Gaels do not concede anything to the Bears in speed nor N. Oct.
