Present Puzzle: Whither Rickey? BROOKLYN (AP) — Which way Branch Rickey?—That's the question puzzling the baseball world today now that the bushy-browed executive definitely is through in Brooklyn. Pittsburgh had seemed the best bet, but last night Rickey, in Columbus, Ohio, derailed he would become general manager of the Pirates. In Pittsburgh Tom Johnson, secretary-treasurer of the Pirates, declared "I'm sure no deal has jelled between Rickey and Galbreath because I would know about it if it had." Johnson referred to John Galbreath, owner of the Pirates. In addition Johnson said 'I know definitely that Hamey (Roy Hamey, Pittsburgh general manager) is not going to leave the Pirates no matter what Rickey does." This increased speculation over a report that the 69-year-old Rickey had been mentioned as a possibility for president of DePauw university at Greencastle, Ind. (The New York Herald-Tribune said later "It was learned from authoritative sources Rickey has joined the Pittsburgh organization as assistant to Galbreath.") When Rickey announced his resignation as president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers yesterday he said he planned to see Galbreath, an old friend, "within a few days." Rickey also said he would visit St. Louis. Galbreath was due in New York yesterday but changed plans. Perhaps they will meet over the weekend because Rickey was to attend Sunday —1 p.m. NO way out RICHARD WIDMARK - LINDA DARNELL —WESTERN ACTION— THE RETURN OF JESSE JAMES SPOOKS GALORE! 2 Midnite Hallowe'en SPOOK SHOWS Saturday— "THE BLACK DOLL" "SPOOKS RUN WILD" (Doors open 11:45 p.m.) Tuesday— (After the Parade) "MAN WITH 9 LIVES" "INVISIBLE WOMAN" plus— HALLOWE'EN STAGE REVUE ANAHEIM MUSEUM OFFICE Show Starts 6:30 p.m. NOW SHOWING!

After that he will attend a baseball meeting at Cincinnati Tuesday. The carnage didn't stop the Duane Pennington, the regular starting tailback in the Indian short punt, also managed to pass a bit during the night. Two of the TD aerials went to serve end Larry Kraemer. Tough Defense It will be interesting to see what kind of a dent this pass attack can make in the Colonists defense tonight. In its first four games, Anahiem has allowed on seven of 39 throws to be completed, and the Colonists have accepted eight—one more than he been completed against them. Fullerton, meanwhile, must face somewhat of an enigmatic Anahiem attack. At first it was thought that the Colonists were primarily a running team. The estimate was changed later to make it a passing team. Now one is quite sure just what the principal means of attack is. A that's probably just the way Colonists to only 25 yards turtwig Quarterbacks. Enoch Peters and Jerry Dickenson took to the air, however, notching 128 yards on nine completions. Three of the Colonist scores came on passes the other being tallied on Augu Huesca's 82-yard punt return. Huesca, incidentally, will probably not be a starter tonight. He injured his knee during the Oil game and did not even suit up for the first three practice sessions this week. He did limber up yesterday, indicating Le'll probably be ready for light duty. Near Own Size Otherwise the Colonists appear to be fit. They have the usual number of leg and muscle injuries but none seem to be serious enough to keep them out of play. One encouraging factor will help that the Colonists who have trouble scraping up a 170-pound lineman, will be meeting some one near their own size tonight.

The Indian starting lineup averages 165 in the line and 161 in the backfield. While most observers were predicting a Fullerton victory, none of them foresaw an easy win in the traditional rivalry. It never is Be In Prelim. Sam Keith's Esq. who scored their first touchdown in 504 hours against the Oilers last week, met the Fullerton lightweights in the 6 p.m. opener. Absolutely nothing is known about the Fullerton Esq., but they must be considered a favorites against the Colonists who are so offensively impotent that touchdown calls for a gala festival.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim Fullerton Invades La Palma Park for Traditional Clash with AU Indians Favored to Break Sunset Loop Top-Spot Tie Already wearied of the first-place tie which has condied them for the lengthy period of one week, Fullerton Anaheim will snap it tonight when the two Sunsat league face off at 8 p.m. in La Palma park. The pair, who posted league-opening victories last week, need for the top rung in the loop with Santa Ana. Barring likely tie, one of them will never be up there at the conflict of tonight's game. Only everyone is giving Fullerton the best chance of staying. The Indians are Sunset Parks three years running, and appeared to be well on their a fourth straight title after deriving what was supposed to strong Newport team last year. Owens Threat Fullerton, which had looked good all year, appeared to only terrific as it belted the of the Tar. And it came up real triple-threater in the of tailback Jewell Owens. Who wasn't even listed in starting lineup, ran for one down, passed for two others, otherwise made himself a ce during the night. Carnage didn't stop there. Pennington, the regular tailback in the Indian's count, also managed to run Rizzuto Grabs AL's MVP Title NEW YORK (AP)—Phil Rizzuto, chased out of the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field because he was "too small," is the most valuable player in the American League for 1950. Rizzuto, who plays a man sized shortstop for the world champion New York Yankees, won the coveted award yesterday with plenty to spare. The 32-year-old star polled 16 of 23 first-place votes and 284 of a maximum 322 points in a poll conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Boston's Billy Goodman, the league's batting champion, finished a distant second. Goodman received only four first place ballots and wound up with 180 points. THE CENTER OF THINGS—The backs or ends may give glory and the points, but they'd be powerless unless Colonii ten Gene Gesselle started it. And he's started the action on one of the Anaheim scoring plays this year. Defense brings rest, since Geselle backs up the line during that period. Gazette photo by PHIL RIZZUTO drew the three remaining first place votes and finished third with 146 points. Rounding out the top ten were George Kell, Detroit, fourth; Bob Lemon, Cleveland, fifth; Walt Dropo, Boston, sixth; Vic Raschi, New York, seventh; Larry Doby, Cleveland, eighth; Joe DiMaggio, New York, ninth and Vic Wertz, Detroit, tenth. Ted Williams of Boston, last year’s winner, finished way down. Williams drew only seven votes. The great slugger however missed a good part of the season because of a broken elbow. Dominic DiMaggio polled more points, 17, for 14th place. Copping the most valuable player award completes Rizzuto’s most brilliant season in the game. Never much of a power hitter in the past, Rizzuto switched to a Johnny Mize model bat at the beginning of the season and began hitting for extra bases with the heavier bat. He wound up with 50 extra base blows and the highest batting average of his major league career, .324. Gussy.

(Gazette photo by) SMU, Now Rated No. 1 Ten Takes It Easy This Weekend NEW YORK (AP)—The country’s No. 1 football Southern Methodist, will stand on the sidelines and the lesser lights scramble for spots in the top ten this Army, which is rated No. 2, could take over the if it scores decisively over Columbia, one of the halls of the Ivy league. But the Lions—though they probably go down—are not to be taken lightly. 1947 Upset It will be recalled that in 1947, Lou Little’s boys came up with one of the major upsets of the year by whipping the Cadets, 21-20. No. 3 Oklahoma, sporting the longest winning streak in current college circles — 25 — takes on Iowa State, and this is figured by the odds makers to be a breeze for the powerful Sooners. From a competitive standpoint, the game of the week will pair a couple of ancient and hallowed Ivy League rivals, Cornell and Princeton in Tigertown. A crowd of 50,000 will be on hand in Palmer stadium when these two unbeaten eleven clash. Few Big Games Cornell, the defending Ivy loop champion, probably will enter the fray a slight favorite even though in this case the Big Red is the defensive outfit and Princeton specializes on pulverizing the opposition. There are major conference games all over the country but none will have a bearing on the National picture. In the Big Ten, for example, Ohio State, seeking to repeat its conference victory of last year, goes after Iowa at Columbus, while Northwestern tackles Wisconsin, which has been beaten but once. Indiana bucks Illinois and Michigan engages Minnesota. Notre Dame, rapidly becoming the forgotten team of college football, goes up against Michigan State in an effort to salvage some prestige. PCC Action In the Pacific Coast conference, a couple of Rose Bowl aspirants, Stanford and Washington both Gussy, Kramer Futures Bleak NEW YORK (AP)—It looks like a long, hard winter for Gorgeous Gussy Moran, professional tennis' new $75,000 glamor girl. Things don't look too bright, either, for Jack Kramer, the big boss man of the mercenaries as the net barnstormers move into Washington today for the second inp of their 100-city tour. Promoter Bobby Riggs uncovered his 1950 production last night at Madison Square Garden, and the results were hardly what were expected. Gussy, billed as the star of the show, looked cute in a couple of different costumes but she had no tennis shots to match as Mr. Pauline Betz Addie blasted her aside, 6-0, 6-3. Kramer, the sport's No. 1 appeal the last two years, was little more impressive as he bowed miserably to Pancho Segura, a little bandy-legged guy brought up from the prelimits, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1. The crowd was 6526. The gate was $16,960. It's going to take a lot more people than that to keep Gussy in lace panties. Promoters made no bones about this being a disappointing start. In 1948 the tour began with a $50,000 plus gate at the Garden and last year it was around $40,000. PCC Action In the Pacific Coast conference, a couple of Rose Bowl aspirants, Stanford and Washington, both of which tasted defeat for the first time last week, clash. Texas gets its chance to give Rice the lumps in the feature Southwest conference game. Feature of the Southeast conference program will be the Kentucky—Georgia Tech game in Atlanta; Kentucky, the nation's fourth-ranked team, is rated a heavy favorite. Wake Forest and Clemson, unbeaten but tied, play the top Southern conference contest. In the Big Seven, Kansas plays Nebraska in the feature. The Menu Other Major games include: Mississippi State at Alabama, Denver at Arizona, Vanderbilt at Arkansas, Tulane at Auburn, Texas A. & M. at Baylor, Georgia at Boston College (Friday), Syracuse at Boston U., Colgate at Brown, Colorado at Utah, Dartmouth at Harvard, Holy Cross at Yale, Rutgers at Lehigh, Santa Clara at Marquette, Texas Christian vs Mississippi at Memphis, Missouri at Oklahoma A. & M. El Camino Tied MODESTO (AP)—El Camino JC suffered the first blemish on its 1950 football record last night. The warriors were held to a scoreless tie by Modesto in a game played in the mud. Orange League to Make History With Garden Grove Night Game The Orange league goes "big league" tonight. Yes, that's right—tonight. For the first time in the history of Orange county's small-city league, two of its teams will meet under lights when Laguna Beach invades Garden Grove for an 8 p.m. tussle. Garden Grove, furthermore, will play two more home games on its newly illuminated gridiron before the year is out, meeting Brea-Olinda on Nov. 10 and Valencia on Nov. 17. Despite the auspicious occasion, Laguna is a prohibitive favorite to ruin the nocturnal inaugural. Under the astute leadership of Don Henley, they have swept past all but one foe this year—most of them with amazing ease. Last week Henley scored three touchdowns and converted four times in leading Newport to a lopsided 47-0 win over Brea-Olinda. Garden Grove, however, also won last week—a 6-0 surpriser over Tustin—to go into a three-way tie for first place. This tie, of course, will be broken tonight unless the game should end in a tie. Other Orange League activity will be composed of the usual daylight games. Capistrano, also one of the league leaders off its 12-0 triumph over Valencia, will be hard put to hold its spot against a tough Tustin team. The other cellar dwellers, Valencia and Brea-Olinda, tangle at Placentia. Brea, as usual, will probably be the underdog due to its two unadmirable features; no victories yet this year, and a rather slim 17-man roster. There probably won't be too much shuffling in the Sunset League except for the Anaheim-Fullerton tiff. Santa Ana, the other team involved in this loop's first- League Standings W L T PI OP Anaheim 1 0 0 26 0 Fullerton 1 0 0 23 0 Santa Ana 1 0 0 21 13 Hunt Beach 0 1 0 0 26 Newport 0 1 0 0 33 Orange 0 1 0 13 21 ORANGE LEAGUE Garden Grove 1 0 0 6 0 Capistrano 1 0 0 12 0 Laguna 1 0 0 47 0 Tustin 0 1 0 0 6 Valencia 0 1 0 0 12 Brea 0 1 0 0 47 place tie, should stay in that deadlock against a Newport team that was flattened 33-0 by Fullerton last week. Loyola Heads For Breather LOS ANGELES (AP) — Loyola University's walloping, unbeaten football team takes off by plane for Reno and what shapes up as a breather football game with the University of Nevada tomorrow. Nevada hasn't won a game in five starts while Coach Jordan Olivar's Lions have won four straight, topped by last week's rousing 35-33 win over strong College of Pacific. Troy, Oregon Grasp for Win LOS ANGELES (AP)—Two of the hungriest college football teams in the Far West, Southern California and Oregon, will be grabbing for a victory crumb in a Pacific Coast conference game here tomorrow. The experts say the Trojans of SC will end their enforced diet of defeats at the expense of the sophomore-studded Oregon, but there'll be small satisfaction involved. Oregon's lone triumph in five games this fall was a 21-13 edge over Montana, which dropped out of the conference last year because it couldn't stand the pace. The best the Trojans have done is tie Washington State while losing to Iowa, California, and Navy. A figure considerably below the 103,000 capacity for Memorial Coliseum is expected to witness the game. John Muir Drops PASADENA (AP)—A safety in the second period dumped John Muir JC into the Western States conference cellar last night by way of a 9-6 loss to Glendale in the Rose Bowl. Glendale was in last place before the game.
