Mack, Rickey Targets as Baseball Rumors Churn NEW YORK (AP)—Where is Branch Rickey going? Is Connie Mack going to step down as manager of the Philadelphia A's? Will Rogers Hornsby be the new A's skipper? These are a few of the hot questions that keep the baseball pot boiling during these post-World Series days. Best information available at the moment is that Rickey will wind up in Pittsburgh with his old friend, John Galbreath. That's the way the wind is blowing against the Dodger front office. Can Zeckendorf? Rickey still is president and general manager of the Dodgers although he has contracted to sell his 25 per cent interest in the club. Insiders believe that William Zeckendorf, who arranged to buy Rickey's stock, never will be able to go through with the deal. Instead it is expected that Walter O'Malley, with sound financial backing, will be able to exercise his option to buy the Rickey stock. That would leave the 75 per cent, including the holdings of O'Malley and the John Smith estate in one block. Hamley Waits Nothing is set on the Pittsburgh front where General Manager Roy Hamely is waiting definite word on the Rickey situation before he makes a move on strengthening the club. Hamley still has a year to go on his contract. There also are reports that Rickey is bound for St. Louis to operate the Browns with the backing of the American league. President Will Harridge of the American league denied any such backering had been arranged. next year, leaving the managing job to a younger man. Still Mr. Mack has said repeatedly he'd never resign. It is known that three men were being considered for the job. One was Paul Richards, who signed Monday to manage the Chicago White Sox. The others are Del Baker, San Diego manager, and Hornsby, who won a pennant with the Yankee farm club at Beaumont in the Texas league. Hornsby still is Beaumont manager. But if he has the chance to take the job with the A's he will have no difficulty getting loose from the Yankee chain. What About Lou? Then there is the case of Lou Boudreau, the Clevland manager. There is talk that the Athletics might make a deal with the Tribe for player-manager Boudreau. Lou still can play part time at short or third base. But the matter of Boudreau's contract, a good-sized chunk of dough, might discourage the A's who had a miserable season at the gate. Clevland has yet to announce Boudreau's status for 1951. So that's the pitch from the rumor factory today. Something may pop before Nov. 1. So many Dodgers executives are waiting to Nothing is set on the Pittsburgh front where General Manager Roy Hamey is waiting definite word on the Rickey situation before he makes a move on strengthening the club. Hamey still has a year to go on his contract. There also are reports that Rickey is bound for St. Louis to operate the Browns with the backing of the American league. President Will Harridge of the American league denied any such backing had been arranged. In Philadelphia, the reign of 87-year-old Mr. Mack 'as manager seems to be near the end. Three Considered The story circulated at the World Series was that Mack would devote himself to executive work. SPORTS MIRROR By the Associated Press Today a year ago—Fred Salgh, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, said Eddie Dyer would be back as manager in 1850. Five years ago—Army beat Michigan, 28 to 7, and Notre Dame whipped Dartmouth, 34 to 0, in football. Ten years ago—Cornell blasted Army, 45 to 0, and Northwestern shaded Ohio State, 6 to 3, in leading college football games. Fifteen years ago—Tintagel won the $92,000 futurity at Belmont Park. Major Leagues Start Sweeping NEW YORK (P) — The major leagues' annual post-season reconstruction project is moving along in high gear today. Six teams did some vigorous house cleaning yesterday with the New York Giants wielding the biggest broom. The Giants who finished a strong third in the National league, pulled off a $125,000 deal involving seven minor league players. In a drive to bolster their reserve strength, the Polo Grounders pried three players from the champion Oakland Oaks or the Pacific Coast league. Coming to the Giants are Cuban Negro catcher Ray Noble; Artie Wilson, a Negro shortstop; and veteran righthander Allen Gettel. In exchange the Giants shipped cash, outfielder-first baseman Joe There is talk that the Athletics might make a deal with the Tribe for player-manager Boudreau.

Cleveland has yet to announce Boudreau's status for 1951. So that's the pitch from the rumor factory today. Something may pop before Nov. 1. So many Dodgers executives are waiting to see which way to jump that Rickey must announce his decision soon. Well, now that wasn't too bad was it? Last week's picks included couple of prize upsets in Wisconsin, Baylor, and Wake Forest. BEYERLIN form. Beyerlines picked six of last week's picks out with 37 right, 10 wrong and two ties for a percentage .766. The year's standings are no 101-26-3 for .737. Needless to say, the standings Beyeratings took quite a juggle with the week-end's upsets. You will find this list nowhere else in the nation, but the country's top teams are 1.

In a drive to bolster their reserve strength, the Polo Grounders pried three players from the champion Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast league. Coming to the Giants are Cuban Negro catcher Ray Noble; Artie Wilson, a Negro shortstop; and veteran righthander Allen Gettel. In exchange the Giants shipped cash, outfielder-first baseman Joe Lafata and Bert Haas and right-handed pitcher Wes Bailey and Bill Ayers from their pennant winning Minneapolis American association farm to Oakland. A quirk of the transaction is that the Giants sold Noble to the Oaks last year for probably less than $10,000. Noble, valued at approximately $75,000 by Oaksians, was regarded as the best catcher in the Coast league. He hit .316 and drove in 79 runs. Noble will understudy Wes Weatrum. The Philadelphia Phillies also snapped the rubber band on President Bob Carpenter's bankroll by shelling out $40,000 to land a highly regarded prospect, Tom Gasagrande, of Fordham University. Casagrande, a 20-year-old left-hander, was sought by 10 other major league clubs. He also is a terrific hitter and the Phils hope he'll outdo such other Fordham graduates as Frank Trisch and Hank Borowy. The National Football League lines up: 1. Cleveland (802), Philadelphia (780), 3. Giant (765), 4. Yanks (732), 5. Bea (724), 6. Detroit (713), 7. Pittburgh (707), 8. Rams (707), Green Bay (695), 10. Washington (682), 11. Cards (648), 12.

Oklahoma Tackle Wetherall Picked 'Lineman of Week' NORMAN, Okla. (F) — Life wasn't worth living for big Jim Weatherall, college football's lineman of the week, when he missed the conversion that nearly plunged Oklahoma into defeat last Saturday. But that miss ignited a spark that caused the Sugar Bowl champions to sweep past Texas A. and M., 34-28, and extend their three-year winning streak to 29 games. And out of that last-minute triumph came sufficient praise for the six-foot four-inch, 220-pound tackle to make the day's top lineman in the eyes of sports writers from coast to coast. "I thought all our linemen played well," said Coach Bud Wilkinson, whose Oklahoma team now ranks third in the AP national poll. "But Weatherall was the best. His blocking and tackling was wonderful."

OREGON ST.-WASHINGTON The Huskies are running no fevers Riverside Tests Dons in Initial Taking advantage of a bye to recover from injuries last week, the Santa Ana College Dons will meet the spirited Riverside Tigers Friday night at 8 p.m. in the orange belt to open their 1:50 Eastern conference pigskin schedule. Playing three practice tits, Coach Bill Cook's fighting armada has won, lost, and tied, respectively, while the Tigers boast a record of one loss and two wins. Last week Riverside downed Cal Poly 13-0 using its new system of an offensive and defensive lineup which is employed at UCLA this season. Many Don injuries were suffered in their last encounter against the Pasadena Bulldogs, but with almost two weeks of rest Coach Cook expects all but two of his outstanding stars to be back in action. The two turfmen, halfbacks Hershel Musick and Bill Heizer, survived the Building tussle, but were injured in a scrimmage last week with the El Toro Marines. Offensively the Dons will probably start their first string which includes: Bob Patterson and Emilio Hilario at the ends; Jim Mitchell and Cliff Leonard at tackle; Cliff Horton and Maryin Kravitz at guards; Matt McCulla at center; George Brancato and Dick Ballester at the halves; Fred Merchoff at fullback; and key signal caller Ray Willsey at the quarterback slot.

So, by voice vote, the convention contented itself with changing from "urge" to "demand" the second word of this paragraph. Michael L. Rooney, delegate from Washington, D.C., previously had objected to criticism of the State Department or Secretary Acheson. “This majority report of the foreign relations committee is an endorsement of about 90 per cent of the policies of the administration.” Rooney said. “It approves the Marshall Plan, aid to Greece, support of the United Nations. It says, in effect, that our foreign policy has met with success in most of the world. It is the president who makes our foreign policy, not the Secretary of State. If you intend to condemn our foreign policy why not condemn the man who makes it, Harry Truman, who proclaims to the world: ‘this is my foreign policy.’ Why stick a knife in the back of Dean Acheson?” Water (Continued from Page One) across the basin, to collect the water going to waste.

Coach Ray Eliot planned to work Illinois in the Coliseum tonight to get them accustomed to the lighting, while Coach Red Sanders, after giving the Bruins the day off yesterday, promised a light workout this afternoon at the Westwood campus.
