SCORE 6 IN 7TH INNING BROOKLYN. (JP). The New York Giants, first and second stringers held batting practice at the expense of the Brooklyn Dodgers and pounded out a 16 hit, 10 to 2 vie tory in their "semi final" tuneup before the world series. Led by Wally Berger, who came close to clinching a series berth in the Giant outfield by clubbing out a homer, double and two singles for a perfect day at bat, the Giants banged Waite Hoyt, Luke Hamlin and Roy Henshaw all over the lot, particularly in the seventh inning when they scored six runs to put the game on ice. Dick Coffman, the Giants' ranking relief pitcher, made his first start of the year, but was lifted In the fourth for a pinch hitter.

LOS ANGELES. UP). The Washington Huskies inaugurated a drive for their second successive Pacific coast conference championship with a hard won 7 to 0 victory over the University of Southern California Trojans. The lads from the great northwest struck with fury when a break in the form of a Trojan fumble presented itself ln the first quarter, and then held off a be 1 lated aerial attack in the final mo-ments. In between, Coach Jimmy Phe-lan's Huskies plnyed headsup ball against a less seasoned band of Trojans, deadly determined to strike down Washington in a bid to reclaim long lost grid prestige.

Sixty-five thousand spectators saw the struggle. U. S. C. Back Fumbles.

Early In the initial period, Ambrose Schindler, ace quarterback of U. S. C. fumbled the ball on a spinner play and Rich Worthing-ton. Huskies right tackle, fell on it.

It tonk Washington seven plays, Including two sharp passes, to get the ball down to the one yard line, where Jimmy Johnston, Huskies halfback, crashed over for the touchdown. Al Cruver, the fullback, who with many of his mates, helped set the Trojans back, 12 to 0, a year ago. placekicked for the extra ppint. Vitally important in the Huskies attack was Capt. Fritz Kasko-witz, right half, who fired an 8-yard pass to the other ack, Chuck, Newton, in the scoring attack.

Another pass, Cruver to End Tom Shelldrake. went for 11 yards ln the rapid onslaught for a score. From then on, it was a seesaw battle until the- final minutes of play. Led by Schindler, Troy moved the ball from its own 19 to the Washington 28 before losing it on a pass intercepted by Newton. U.

MAKE GOAL LINE STAND NORMAN. Okl.

(JP). Playing a smart, slashing game which left considerable doubt as to -which team was the underdog, the Oklahoma Sooners amazed 8,000 spectators by turning in a 6 to 0 victory over the highly favored Pice football team. Muffling the touted Rice aerial attack, and themselves unleashing a short, sharp passing game which brought 10 completions in 15 attempts, the Sooners whipped over a touchdown in the first period, threatened periodically thereafter, and in the fading minutes blocked a vicious ground assault which carried the Owls to tne very threshold of the Oklahoma goal. The touchdown march; engineered by blond Jack Baer, and culminated by a 14 yard pass from him to Pete Smith in the end sons, started on the Oklahoma 44, and was marked by brief, behind the line passes from the sharpshoot-ing Baer to Merrell and Gene Cor- rotto. Pass Defense Spectacular.

The Oklahoma pass defense, pathetic against Tulsa a week ago, rose to spectacular heights and toward the end the Owls virtually abandoned that mode of attack. The Owls were not without their moments, however Statistics showed the Owls with six earned first downs to four for Oklahoma, and with a net rushing yardage of 118 to 52 for the Soon ers. They also showed Only two completed passes in 11 Kice at tempts for a gain of 31 yards as Oklahoma rolled up 64 yaras wun its 10 out of 15 record, and those passing statistics tell the story.

On the strength of one blocked kick and another that was partially blocked, the Army football team turned what it had feared might be actual war into a sham cattle and opened its season with a 21-6 conquest of Clemson college of South Carolina. But, like so many peace time maneuvers, it was a sham battle that at no time failed to hold the interest of the crowd of 10,000 in Mlchle stadium. The Clemson tiger was JaJmost aa stubborn, and- at times more llghtfooted, than the Army mule, and the beast -fia-vortlngs were eminently satisfac tory to the little group pf 250 Dixie rooters who attempted to match the spirit and volume of the cadet cheering corps. That task proved too much for them, just as upsetting the Cadet team which next goes against Columbia and. Yale proved too much for their heroes.

The Army line, question mark of this team since practice opened, showed up well in opening holes on offense, breaking thru the Clemson wall to smear runners on defense. The Army backs, notably Oklahoma Jim Craig, Texas Woodrow Wilson and Pennsylvania Jim Schwenk, plowed thru for consistent gains and, on defense, permitted the southerners to complete only three of the forward passes that had played such a part in holding Tulane to one touchdown a week ago.

2. Cash and Carry for Less. PEERLESS IT CLEANERS Geo, H. Lemon 322 11th B67S1 i BY "CY" SHERMAN. THE "might have beens" In recent years of Nebraska-Minnesota football relations can well be forgotten The battles of '32, '35 and '36, when the Scarlet was denied victory only by the narrowest of margins, can't be erased from the record book But against them the entry now can be made that the Cornhusker fighting spirit has an identity which Minnesota, rightfully proud of its traditions, can neither despise nor deny Gopher followers, least of all the Minnesota coach.

Bernie Bierman, gulped their disappointment graciously Bernie was smiling when I met him in the Gopher dressing quarters under the west stand of the stadium, following the final pistol shot "We played some bad football," he said, "and Nebraska was alert In taking advantage of our mistakes, but that's football and I'm offering no excuses." A ND Bernie continued by pre- dieting that his team, because of the defeat, would play better football ln Its futupe games That forecast was affirmed by Fred Dawson, a former coach of the Cornhuskers, who called at the Gopher's quarters to console Bier man and then rushed over to the Nebraska dressing rooms to congratulate Major Biff Jones and his hilarious Cornhuskers Hand shaking and back-slapping was the general order, with dozens of the old guard (former Nebraska gricl-ders) streaming ln to take part in a celebration which suddenly was stilled by expressions of anxiety inspired by the receipt of Information from Lincoln General hospital that Fullback Eldon Mcllravy was in a critical condition. THE yardage and downs statistics demonstrated conclusively that the Gophers have both punch and power, but the manner ln which the game was played gave proof that the pass was more potent than the plunge The Huskers had two opportunities and made the most of both openings by taking to the air lanes Howell's first forward flip to Grimm set up the pins for the initial Nebraska touchdown Jack Dodd followed with a successful end swing to the Gophers' three yard line and Howell then crashed thru to pay dirt The final-winning touchdown by ths Scarlet was a brilliantly executed pass play In which Andrews heaved the oval to Bill Calllhan, who crossed theGopher goal line standing up Fumbled punts, first by Matheny and next by Van Every, were disastrous from a Gopher standpoint, as they paved the way to the Huskers' pair of touchdowns. THE logic of football bars the suggestion that Nebraska did Its scoring as the result of "breaks." The, fumbling of punts is one of the game's Inevit ables and when a team is guilty of messing up kicked balls, it must expect to take its punishment The scoring of the Gophers' first touchdown, which came in less than five minutes, duplicated the feat of the Minnesota eleven of two years ago, wnicn received the klckoff and then drove across the" Nebraska, goal without relinquish mg possession of the ball After that, a fighting Nebraska team successfully resisted every subsequent goal-threatening advance by the Gophers And Biff Jones' record of never losing an npeninxr game during his coaching career still is untarnished. downs on their six yard line In the third quarter aftsr Gregory had blocked a punt, MADISON WINS, 1-6.

Selleck by a band of university students both male and co-ed, in which the hecklers laid it on the manager in venting their displeasure and disappointment over the assignment to students of Cornhusker ticket reservations, is regrettable in more ways than one. In the first place, the efficiency and integrity of Manager Selleck have been demonstrated during a period of long service at the Cornhusker institution. Few public servants of my acquaintance have as high a rating in my book' as the Nebraska U. athletic manager. Still another angle is that the annual scramble for student ticket privileges appears to have assumed the proportions of a scandal.

As a matter of right, students are entitled to prior recognition it is their game and their institU' tion yet it has come to be com' mon knowledge that student tickets are scalped to the highest bidders. And the scalping accusation, I am assured, applies even to institutional employes, although I prefer to believe that only a limited few are Involved. In the light of recent happenings, a searching Inquiry by the higher authorities at the university terms to be in order. IHE hunch coming to this col- umn that the Giants may trouble the favored Yankees more than a little in the approaching world series is unimportant, inasmuch as anybody's private opinion can have nothing to do with the Ultimate reckoning. Possibly the said pro-Giant premonition is inspired by the fact that most of the so-called experts of the Gotham sector are stringing on the Yankees' end the same "experts" who so jauntily foresaw Joe Louis planting Herr Max Schmeling in the resin.

Since that amusing event-amusing to all but Dusky Joe and his managers it has come to be the popular fashion to toss all "expert" dope out the window and get dowa on the line for the underdog. MENTION of Louis suggests that it might be a bright idea for Joe and his managers to get together in framing their stories. From California, where the champion of the chin maulers has been barnstorming with a sof tball team and fanning the air on almost his every- appearance at bat comes the word that the big dark man from Alabama has announced his intention to engage in one more ring brawl, the one with Schmeling next June, after which he will hang up his gloves and quit the bruiser business for keeps. Simultaneously, co a ager Roxborough, located at Detroit, proclaims that Louis will stick to his racket several more years, then to retire with the fattest pile of dollars ever garnered by any fighter in history. Taking my pick of the two yarns, I lean to the belief that Joe's version is the more credible.

In fact, I suspect that the dark man's alleged desire to take another whirl at Schmeling; is more assumed thai', real. Joe looked the part of a champion against Braddock, but against Tom Fair he was anything but the fearless fighter. Bitter memories of what the German schlager did still are with him memories which seem to have battered a deep dent in his courage. THIS AND THAT: A Kansas City, wit, reading that Max Baer and Jim Braddock have been re-matched, comes forward with the suggestion that Shirley Temple be engaged to referee the brawl Missouri and Colorado played their game at Boulder yesterday minus previous information from scouting sources Coaches BOYS' FOOTBALL EQUIPMENT FOOTBALLS i 906 up Football Pants, Shoulder Pads, Helmets, Shoe. at attractive prices, SPORTING COOOV CO.

The Minnesota squad quietly boarded its special train at Lincoln and when they settled down In their seats there was a terrific silence. They indivdiually ostra-cized themselves for their errors and were a pretty well subdued outfit. Coach Bernie Bierman positively refused to see reporters and the Minnesota coaching staff was in clined to pass the defeat off as just a ball came In which an inspired Nebraska team combined with the law of averages. Minnesota mis takes, and a break in the weather to score a well deserved victory.

MINNEAPOLIS. UP) The Mlnne-aita football 'squad, enroute home from Lincoln after its 14 to 9 defeat at the hands of Nebraska, showed concern over the serious injury to Eldon Mcllravy, Cornhusker substitute fullback. The Minnesota squad wired the Injured Nebraska player, expressing sympathy and hoping for a speedy recovery. The Minnesota squad was so upset by the incident that they sent one of the players to the Omaha depot to telephone the Associated Press bureau in Omaha for information concerning the nature of his injuries. They were told that he had a skull fracture and brain concussion.

And they did it as all teams of destiny accomplish such things by rerus ing to be defeated, even when punts were bouncing backwards into the field of play instead of into the end zone and they had gotten themselves six points be hind before the customers were hardly well settled.

BY HENRY M'LEMORE. BELMONT PARK, N. Y. (UP). A big brown colt named Menow, with that "flying Dutchman" of a Charley Kurtsinger up, won the Belmont futurity and juvenile turf championship of this country, but there was nothing childish in his running.

Like a frightened thing with the buzz of the starter's bell, the Hal Price a 1 colt, born and reared in old Kaintuck, took the lead in three great strides and never was headed. He banged down the chute in the world's record time of 1:15.1. His dash over the six and a half furlongs route smashed by a second and a fifth the futurity and track mark established by Pompoon last year. The old world's record of 1:15.4 was set by Snark at Hialean last winter. Earns $56,000 Purse.

By his victory in this, the 48th running of the futurity, Menow earned purse of (58,800 for his owner and brought' Jockey Kurt' singer the distinction of being the only rider ever to have a leg on the winners of the four great American stakes in one year. Kurtsinger already had ridden War to triumph 'in the Kentucky derby, the Preakness and the Belmont stakes. Menow, who, with his stable-mates Bourbon King and Dah He, was 9 to 5 in the betting marts, beat the favorite, Mrs. Ethel V. Mars' Tiger, by a sound four lengths.

Tiger gained some consolation by winning the second money of $7,800. Third money of $4,400 went to Fighting Fox of the Bellair stud, who was 5 to 1 in the gambling ring, and fourth prize of $1,000 to Mrs. Mars' Mountain Ridge.

With a little over a minute to play, Andrews again in tercepted one of Uram's tosses and the Huskers were able to run but two plays. The sparkling play or the entire two dozen men who appeared at one time or another in the Husker lineup, must have been a tonic to the coaching staff. It was feared ithat the Cornhusker replacements would not measure up but they disproved all that by their stout defensive play. Minnesota's vaunted attack could never get up steam for another sustained drive after their first march', Coach Jones gambled on his second stringers and they came up in the double-o slot aa they say in roulette. A rentless sun took its toll from both elevens, probably more from the Gophers who haven't had so much of it as the Huskers, Line Plays Great Game.

It seems that the line gets the call when a team can't have both star backs and star linemen. The Gophers missed Ed Widseth at his old left tackle stand. Even Friday night the Minnesota coaches could not decide on their left tackle starter, the two players as possibilities not even getting the nod Saturday. The Huskers forwards played one whale of a defensive game, both regulars and reserves.
