Football De-Emphasis Stressed From Vanderbilt University NASHVILLE, Tenn., U.P.—A six-point program for de-emphasis of intercollegiate football was offered today by Chancellor Harvie Branscomb of Vanderbilt University, who said certain aspects of the sport were "educationally wrong." In his annual "State of the University" message mailed to 20,000 Vanderbilt alumni, Branscomb said over-emphasis has compelled Vanderbilt toward a new policy concerning football and "only by some, such program can football be saved as an undergraduate activity." His six points: (a) Elimination of spring practice. (b) Elimination of bowl games because they place such extraordinary premiums upon winning. (c) Reduction in number of football scholarships so the athletic budget is no longer a major financial risk. (d) Limitation of intercollegiate competition to bona fide college students and planning of physical education courses, when offered, from the standpoint of the student's future service to society rather than from the standpoint. (f) Elimination of special funds for athletic support, whether contributed by race tracks, downtown quarterback clubs or alumni. The chancellor said he believed bowl games should be eliminated because a "moderately successful record is no longer regarded as a satisfactory one for a college football team." Regarding the reduction of scholarships, he added: "We do not believe, to be specific, that colleges have any right to bet a quarter of a million dollars per year on having a football team good enough to draw that much at the gate. He said it is going to be up to the public to develop a sentiment that such funds as are contributed by the alumni, Quarterback Clubs and race tracks "are evidence not of commendable loyalty, but of evasion of college rules." (c) Reduction in number of football scholarships so the athletic budget is no longer a major financial risk. (d) Limitation of intercollegiate competition to bona fide college students and planning of physical education courses, when offered, from the standpoint of the student's future service to society rather than from the standpoint of getting and keeping athletes in school. (e) Elimination of unlimited substitutions which result in a boy's being trained for one play or one type of play and in a specialization foreign to the amateur spirit.

Pigeons Leave Idle Yankees NEW YORK (UP)—The New York Yankees, American League Champions three straight years, have been the forgotten team of baseball this week. The Yankees have worked out every morning since the season closed Sunday. But unlike other years there was no crowd standing around, no reporters talking with the players, no photographers snapping pictures. Manager Casey Stengel remarked: "The workout was so private Last year's winner Bloomquist of Glendale first Santa Anita Open by Lloyd Mangrum in 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and 6-9, 10-12, and There's plenty about a Greyhound you'll like... neighborly passengers... courteous drivers... frequent service... scenic routes... air-conditioned Super-Coaches.

Tuesday will be Ladies Day, and Wednesday the Civic and Service Clubs will take over. Thursday and Friday players will qualify for the Open 54 medal play ending Sunday, Oct. 14. The Santa Anita Open is sponsored by the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and the Santa Anita Golf Club. Prizes guaranteed to $1000 plus all money over expenses will be divided among the winners, with merchandise awards for winner and runner-up in the following amateur flights: 0-5, 6-9, 10-12, and 13 and up. Last year's winner was Ralph Bloomquist of Glendale, and the first Santa Anita Open was won by Lloyd Mangrum in 1939. 49ers Head East With Winning Team SAN FRANCISCO (P) — San Francisco's victory flashed Warm Fly eastward at midnight for a three-game road trip. Coach Buck Shaw said the '49ers, 24-10 victors over pro football's champion Cleveland Browns Sunday, will be at full strength. They'll meet the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers Oct. 14 and the Chicago Bears Oct. 21. Shaw dropped rookie guard Bobby Downs, from the University of Southern California, to bring the squad within the league's 33-man limit. That made room for Jim Monacino, former University of California halfback, who had injured an ankle. Other former sideliners making the trip will be halfback Johnny Stizykalski and rookie guards Davie Sparks and Nick Feher. Dave Stevins Scores Twice to Scare B's George Washington's "B" team got off to a roaring start Monday by trimming Thomas Jefferson 18-12. This marked the start of the Recreation Department's football league, which is comprised of playgrounds in four districts. Steve McGovney scored the first touchdown for Washington on a 60-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. Then Larry White scored a touchdown to put Washington ahead 12-0. It was not until about 15 seconds before the half ended that JUST WHAT kind of a team is Anaheim going to have this year? Are they going to continue to lose game after game or are they going to maybe win the Citrus game and Santa Ana games and drop to the rest of their opponents? Nobody can correctly say at present, but they can speculate about the probable outcome and sure enough that's exactly what I'm going to do. Have been hearing people here and there, mostly in Anaheim, complaining about the teams' showing to date (their two losses) and as to what season they should expect the locals to win a game. Some of the more wise ones were selecting the year 1954—that would be the year when such great looking players as Mike Beach, Paul Grover, Frank Doretti and Leverne Weaver would be on the varsity team, but I think they're dead wrong. I don't want to name the year, because I really don't know what the future will offer to us, but I do feel that this year's team is THE team to go places and do things in a murderous fashion. In the men's events body's guess since seeded players were yesterday in the third set were Art Larsen Likas, San Francis Palafox, Mexico; H Quebec, and Tony Vernor. Last year's winner was Ralph Bloomquist of Glendale, and the first Santa Anita Open was won by Lloyd Mangrum in 1939.

Pappy Needs an Offensive Guard BERKELEY (Pappy) Waldorf is trying five candidates as a replacement for offensive guard Bob Bagley injured in the Pennsylvania game. Waldorf said Bagley is lost for the season. All-America defensive guard Les Richter of Fresno is one of the candidates. Others are Al Bender of Sacramento, Dwight Ely of San Anselmo, Charley Martucci of San Francisco and Ken Hagen of Berkeley. Minnesota, the Golden Bears' opponent Saturday, are to arm by trimming Thomas Jefferson 18-12. This marked the start of the Recreation Department's football league, which is comprised of playgrounds in four districts. Steve McGovney scored the first touchdown for Washington on a 60-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. Then Larry White scored a touchdown to put Washington ahead 12-0. It was not until about 15 seconds before the half ended that Jim Meger threw a pass to David Stevins to put Jefferson back into the ball game. Soon after the second half started Jim Meger again threw a touchdown pass to David Stevins to tie the game 12-12. The teams battled on even terms until Larry White ran about 40 yards around his left end to put Washington ahead 18-12, with just two minutes left in the game. Trojans Top all Coast Thieves LOS ANGELES (UP)—The Washington Huskies lead the Pacific Coast Conference in passing and total yards gained, while Oregon State leads in rushing. Statistics released by the conference today brought one surprise. California, in past years undistinguished for passing, ranks second to Washington. Figures show that Washington has gained 450 yards via the air, California 303, and Stanford 302. Total yards show Washington with 944, Oregon State 913 and Stanford 760. Rushing statistics find Oregon State with 729, Washington 494 and Stanford 458. Best pass defense record belongs to Southern California, 11 interceptions. Next is California, with six. USC has played three games, the others two. Football Injury Helps Clem as Top Pitcher NEW YORK (UP)—Brooklyn's schedule against Mexi one player and PanA ed doubles thamg Ramirez.

Minnesota, the Golden Bears' opponent Saturday, are to arrive tomorrow and will workout in the afternoon. Rehabilitated workers are making good in all kinds of jobs because they have been especially prepared and placed. Football Injury Helps Clem as Top Pitcher NEW YORK — Brooklyn's Don Newcombe and the Giants' Sal Maglie, pitching foes today in the National league's last gasp game, have faced each other three times this season, with neither holding the edge. On April 22 Newcombe, relieving in the eighth, was credited with a 4-3 victory over Maglie, who went all the way. The Dodgers won in the tenth on Carl Furillo's home run. Maglie, the lean fugitive from the Mexican league, got his revenge Aug. 16 when he shaded the big Brooklyn righthander, 2-1. Maglie gave up four hits, Newcombe five. On Aug. 8 they started against each other but neither finished and neither figured in the decision. The Dodgers won 7-6 in ten innings. Maglie has lost to the Dodgers only once in ten games in two years. Newcombe is 5-2 this season against the Giants. He broke even in four decisions last season. Should Brooklyn gain the World Series, Rookie Clem Labine probably will be given a shot at the Yankees as a result of his fine shutout yesterday. Clem is a scrubfaced, crew cut, 25 year old rightfinder from Woonsocket, R. I. He is a great curve baller because he jabbed a finger into a football in a semi-interceptions. Next is California, with six. USC has played three games, the others two. If they wanted to win all their games or at least give it a good try they could have scheduled teams the size of Tustin, Brea, Laguna Beach, Bell Gardens, Valencia and Chino, and they probably could have won all of 'em, but what would they know about themselves, except that they were winning games? But playing against tough teams you're bound to see your mistakes, what with them pushing you out of the way. While losing, you're soon going to find out what's wrong and that's what's going on at Anaheim High. I don't mean to infer that as a result of taking on such powerhouses as Redlands, Chaffey and Covina that they will have the needed experience and knowledge to roll through the league undefeated. Far from it. I only mean to imply that by the time league rolls around the locals will certainly have experience of playing against some of the top teams in the Southland and as a result will be in grand shape to bowl over teams that have been tangling with smaller teams. At least it sounds good. National Employ the Physically Handcapped Week is a necessary program to assure that the Nation's available manpower is not wasted. pro game years ago.

World Series Open Tomorrow in New York With Yankees Favored 5 to 8 Kanter Still in Mexican Tourney MEXICO CITY (AP)—The women's singles quarterfinals are slated today for the tenth PanAmerican Tennis Tournament, with first seeded Dorothy Head still the favorite. Miss Head, U.S. clay court champion from Alameda, Calif., plays Patricia Ward, British Wightman Cup team member, while fourth seeded Laura Lou Jahn, Clearwater, Fla., takes on another Wightman player, Helen Fletcher. Second seeded Anita Kanter, Santa Monica, is paired against Mexico's number two player and mixed doubles finalist, Hilde Beyn. Third seeded Louise Isaacs, Bakerfield, Calif., has a harder schedule against Mexico's number one player and PanAmerican mixed doubles champion, Imelda Ramirez. In the men's event's, it is anybody's guess since the top five seeded players were eliminated yesterday in the third round. Upset were Art Larsen and Harry Likas, San Francisco; Gustavo Palafox, Mexico; Henri Rochon, Quebec; and Tony Vincent, New York. NEW YORK (AP)—Baseball's 48th World Series opens tomorrow with the New York Yankees in quest of their third straight world championship. Allie Reynolds, winner of 17 games, including two no-hitters, and loser of eight during the regular season, will pitch the opener. The games will start at 1 p.m. (1 a.m. PST). The first two will be played at the Yankee Stadium, the third, fourth and fifth, if necessary, in the National League winners' park and the next two, if necessary, on the Yankee's grounds. It is a best of seven proposition. Little else is known. The other facts are in the laps of the gods and the pitching arms of Sal Maglie of the Giants and big Don Newcombo of the Dodgers. In their mound performances today lies the answer to the question of whether it'll be Leo Durocher's miracle men of New York or Charlie Dressen's power-packed Dodgers of Brooklyn against the favored Yankees. The National League teams went into the final game of their playoff series at the Polo Grounds today all square at one game each. Regardless of the outcome, the Yankees are favored to win the series. Oddsmakers today made them a 5-8 choice to cop the series out of the box in his last appearance, is certain to get the nod for the Brooks. Larry Jansen, with a record of 22 and 11, is the No. 1 mound selection for the Giants. Neither has pitched since Sunday. But from there on, the Yankees can throw fresh hurlers into the fray while either of the National League managers counters with mighty tired men. Crowd of 70,000 Expected Regardless of the Yankee's opponent, however, a capacity crowd of some 70,000 will be on hand when either Eddie Stanky of the Giants or Carl Furillo of the Brooks faces Reynolds as the lead off batter. World Series clashes between the Yankees and the two National League clubs have been fairly common in the last 30 years. The Giants and Yanks have tangled five times. The American Leaguers have met the Brooks on three occasions, all in the last 10 years. The Yanks hold a decided margin. They whipped the Dodgers four games to one in 1949, 4 to 5 in 1947 and 4-1 in 1941. The world champions, however, have whipped the Giants only three times in five meetings thanks to a pair of series triumphs in 1922 (4-0) and 1921 (5-3) by the National Leaguers when they were led by the Bob Hatfield, Jess Hurtado Lead A's George Washington went on its winning ways, as its "A" team, led by Bobby Hatfield and Jess Hurtado, trimmed Thomas Jefferson's "A" team 30-18. Hatfield threw a pass to Danny Lias for the first TD, and then he broke away for a 65-yard jaunt for the second score. Jess Hurtado then took a punt back on his 30-yard line, and ran it back for a touchdown. It wasn't until the second half that Jefferson went for their first touchdown. Gary Wardin ran around end for 60 yards for the TD. Bob Hatfield scored another, and then Jess Hurtado scored his second touchdown of the afternoon. Gary Wardin ran back the kick-off 60 yards for his second TD. After Washington was held on downs, Gary Wardin passed to Bradley Harker for the final touchdown. Olympic Ace May Stay Home STANFORD (UT)—Coach Chuck Taylor says he'll know within a day if he'll take Olympic Decathlon Champion Bob Mathias eastward for Saturday's game with Michigan. Taylor said Mathias, who's yet to play with Stanford, looked good in scrimmage yesterday. Mathias In the men's event's, it is anybody's guess since the top five seeded players were eliminated yesterday in the third round. Upset were Art Larsen and Harry Likas, San Francisco; Gustavo Palafox, Mexico; Henri Rochon, Quebec, and Tony Vincent, New York. Larsen and Gerald De Witts, Berkeley, Calif., the only survivor of seeded singles players, are top seeded in doubles. They play Rochon and Sidney Levy, South Africa. The National League teams went into the final game of their playoff series at the Polo Grounds today all square at one game each. Regardless of the outcome, the Yankees are favored to win the series. Oddsmakers today made them a 5-8 choice to cop the series and 6 to 7 to take the opening game. Well Rested Staff Manager Casey Stengel's powerful mound crew, headed by Reynolds, Vie Raschi (21-10) and Ed Lopat (21-8), is well rested. The pitching plans of Durocher and Dressen were turned topsy turvy by the hectic National League finish and the playoffs. Unless something goes awry today, either Durocher or Dressen can lead with one of their aces in the series opener. Preacher Roe, winner of 22 and loser of only three but knocked Top Upside Down Boxer in Battle CHICAGO (IL)—Dave Sands of Australia, tabbed by experts as the best fighter to invade these shores since the late Marcel Cerdan, makes his U.S. ring debut in Chicago Stadium tonight against Carl (Bobo) Olson of Honolulu. A victory for the 25-year-old Sands, British Empire Middleweight Champion, would open the way for a match with Rocky Graziano in an International Boxing Club buildup to be climaxed in a title bout with Ray Robinson probably in June. Sands defeated Olson, Hawaiian titleholder, in Sydney in March, 1980. Tonight's bout is a 10-rounder and will be televised on a national hookup. In our physically handicapped lies a vast reservoir of relatively untapped skills. Injured a toe in practice. For the first time this season, Taylor said his team looked good.
