Ossie So Jem lost only three regyjars by graduation and threat ens to turn out a team capable of overcoming Colgate, and perhaps, uorneii. Yale, minus All American Clint Frank and his star mates Hessberg, Col we II and Ewart faces a tough schedule with high morale, the Blue line is strong except at center, and the backfield is better than average. Dick Harlow's Harvard eleven needs a good ball carrier or two to be great. It will be scrambling for the Ivy title, but doesn't figure to top the loop.

Princeton Locks Stars Princeton, the other Big Three member, under Coach Tad Wiemao has the material to be a great team but probably won't quite make the grade. It lacks standout stars Jack Whit and Charley Toll will be missed sorely. Army and Navy are in sort of the same predicament, and don't rate as potent as usual. Pop Warner's Owls at Temple have a gruelling card of seven first rata opponents and probably will una victories airiicuit to acquire with a dearth of speedy backs. The Temple line Is rugged and deep In reserves.

New York university, Columbia, Colgate, Boston college, Penn State and Carnegie Tech are counted on for their share of triumphs, but at this stage of the practice season they scarcely appear as luminaries of the east. The consensus has Pitt at the top and it will take a rugged op ponent to topple the Panther from his perch. JOE LOUIS BOMBERS TO PLAY VALPARAISO VALPARAISO, Ind. Sept 16. Heavyweight boxing champion, Joe Louis, and his colored Brown Bomber softball team will appear here Saturday night, Sept.

Herb Young. Millville, N. Duane FulU, Springfield, and Jim Phillips, Woodstock. All three are rangy boys. Zuppke likes FulU' pa.s-nagging ability and is striving to bolster his tackling talent.

1N3 A team from Cincinnati, today held the world's men's soft ha 11 title by virtu of a 2 to 1 victory over a rival aggregation from Little Rock, Ark. The title game, postponed several times due to rain, reached its deciding stage In tha sixth inning when First Baseman Charley Ixive of Arkansas muffed a throw from the pitcher's box and permitted Art Miller, lanky Cincinnati first baseman to daih home from third. Three thousand fans braved a steady driirle to witness the championship combat in Soldier field. Alameda, defeated the Chicago Down Drafts to win the girls' world title, 3 to 0, on the same bill.

The hard luck jinx which followed Milt Wilson's Hammond Technicals last fall has been given a big shake of the Tiger tail Recovered from the South Bend Riley lesson last week, the Tigers will growl for meat and revenge for last year's defeat when they tangle with Pete Rucinski's Roosevelt hopefuls tonight. Farina, Tech veteran guard moved to quarterback this year, will spark the attack against the Riders who last week roughed-up Lew Wallace at Gary, 19-0. Rucin-ski means to bring Roosevelt out of the doldrums this fall and apparently has a club that can do the trick. Whiting fans await the outcome of the Oilers' trip to Sullivan, tomorrow night. Ray Galllvan'a idea behind it all is to give southern Hoosiers a taste of NIHSC football.

Emerson attempts the same thing tonight by Evansville to take on the best in southern Indiana, Reitz Memorial, winners of 3S straight games. Thornton Fractional opens Its season Saturday afternoon at Elm-hurst, 111., a breather intended to give Wilbur Petree a slant on what the Meteors have in the way of ability for the South Suburban league opener against Kankakee two weeks from tonight. Froebel Takes Grid Opener, 18 to 0 GARY, Sept. 16. (Special) Froebel'a veteran football team, potential contender in the western division of the Northern Indiana conference, defeated Catholic Central High of Joliet, IIL, last night, 1S-0.

Tha gam opened Froebel's season. Cclumet By BILL BRAt CHER (Central Press Sports Editor) NEW YQRK, Sept. 14. Frankte Friach's departure from the Cards was not unlike that of Mickey Cochrane from the Tigers. Resentment and feuds were the inside story in both instances.

Cochrane could not get used to taking orders from Walter Briggs, son of the owner of the Bengals. The veteran could not understand why he should have to please a youngster without baseball background or knowledge. He ignored young Briggs, and the result was that the Tiger front office started doing things (such as suspending Poffen-berger) without the Mick's knowledge. Frisch and Branch Rickey, the brains of the Cardinals chain store system, failed to agrea on certain baseball value, and were temperamentally Incompatible. Rickey likes to move players around like chessmen.

The little Fordham Flash always was "on of the boys' though he did maintain respectable discipline over the Gas House Gang insofar as possible. Frisch ts ball players' type of manager. Newspaper men all like him, too, for his sincerity and lack of pretense. TEAL AN Goldberg It Leader; Dartmouth, Villanova Also Rated Highly Hy ANTHONY J. I'l MJF.SK (INS Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Sept Pitt Panther prowls again! That, In brief, is the key to the collegiate football championship in the ea.it, football observers agree, but pressing- Pittsburgh for sectional hoSrs Will he Dartmouth Fordham, Cornell, Villanova, Holy Cross and possibly Harvard.

Coach Jock Sutherland has the backfield of the country in Marshall Goldberg-, Dick Ca.wiano, Hal Stebbins and Johnny Chicker-neo. Aided by an adequate line, the Panthers will probably go through their 'suicide" schedule without blemish perhaps to a r.ational championship. Tied only by Fordham last sea- son, rni is expected to run roughshod over all its opposition, including the Ftams, thus breaking a sequence of three scoreless encounters. Dartmouth Strong Built around the past stepping and brilliant Bill Hutchinson and Bob McLeod, Dartmouth's white Indians are given the top rating In tha Ivy league. The one stumbling block in the path of Coach Red Blaik's tribe Is Cornell, a powerful and capable unit.

Tha big red, under Carl Snave-ly. la fashioned about a veteran lineup containing nine first team seniors. Cornell Is heavy in material, topped by Brud Holland, flashy Negro end. Clipper Smith's Wildcats at Villanova are touted for another undefeated season. With Johnny Wysockl back snatching aerials, Villanova's offense will once again be clicking.

Holy Cross, undefeated but tied last year, comes back with a well-rounded team paced by Bill Osmanskl, hard-running fullback. Osmanskl lightens the worries of Dr. Eddie Anderson, who Is gunning for a top spot among the eastern leaders. Fordham's seven blocks of granite have been riddled by graduation and the Ram eleven is not as strong defensively as In 1937, when was undefeated but tied by Pitt. Coach Jimmy Crowley loses out on defense but his offense will be mora powerful.

Fordham will be near tha crest of the pack. Gaining momentum as they go, Syracuse will be stronger than last ick Dr.r.kt of Gary le team ttj e-r 1 ut when team, comrniit'-g lh iUnin.or,. Mu. crr. tx.t.r I.

Saturday also marks the end of double practice sessions, as classes will start next Monday, Since it appears that Indiana will have more sophomores in its starting lineup this season than any other Big Ten combination. Coach Bo McMillin is anxious to put the yearlings to tests under fire. Starting next Monday, daily scrimmages will be staged, withJ the sophomores bearing the brunt of the work.

COLORED STARS WORK HARD FOR BEAR TILT CHICAGO. Sept. 16. (INS) Probably the greatest aggregation of its kind ever gathered together, a Negro ail-star football team pushed its training today for its charity clash Sept. 23 with the Chicago Bears.

The Negro team was chosen through a poll in which three mil lion votes were cast. The game, a night clash under the lights of Soldier field, is expected to draw 30,000 spectators.

Chapman, of Greenwich, and Edwin Kingsley, of Magna, Utah, clashed with Willie Turnesa, of New York in the 36-hole semi-final round of the national amateur golf cham pionship at Oakmont, today. A men's final between defending champion Don Budge of California and John Gromwich of Australia, who already has gained the semifinal round, appear as a strong possibility in the national tennis championships. Budge plays Harry Hopman of Australia today. Light Heavyweight Champion John Henry Lewis weathered a late attack and took a split 10-round decision over Jimmy Adamick In a non-title bout at Philadelphia, The death from a heart attack of Bill Lynch, Princeton's veteran fullback, after a light football drill, cast gloom over the campus today.

By beating the New York Giants 7-2, Pittsburgh increased its National league lead to three full games over the Chicago Cubs. GREEN GLASSES PACIFY HENS ATHOL, Mass. (U.P.)

SOS WEST CHICAGO AVE. PHONE E. C. EAST CHICAGO, IND. Region's Most Complete Llqzor Store' Rickey thought Frisch should have done more with the mate- rial given to him to work with this year.

Production Is Rickey's gauge of success, and a man is his friend only as long as ha can show tangible and financial results. On the Spot Before the present 1 season started. Rickey called In the newspaper boys and told them this was the best Cardinal team he ever had seen, except for pitching. That put Frankie smack dab on the spot. As the team sagged the ax came closer and closer to Frisch's ears.

In fact, Frisch would not have been signed for this season at all, if Owner Sam Breadon hadn't signed him while Rickey was away. The feud between the two men even extended to positions on the diamond. Rickey wanted Don Gutteridge at shortstop. Frisch didn't. Rickey auggested his second base choice to Frisch.

Frisch disagreed. Gutteridge finally had to be taken away from shortstop, where his work hindered more than helped the team, and stationed at third. The Cards have had a succession oT second sackers Stu Martin. Bucher, Brown none of them equal to the job. As we look at the Cardinals now, we'll have to say that Rickey must have been spoofing when he made that remark in the spring about the "best Cardinal team.

Front Officei Errors Rickey, for all of his acumen, has made mistakes which hurt the Cardinals. For one thing he let Bob Klinger escape the chain, and Klinger is the man who put Pittsburgh on top of the National league. Still another cerebral fielder's choice that didn't turn out so hot was his bringing in Enos Slaughter from Columbus and let- I ting Johnny Riszo of the same team go to the Pirates. Rizzo has hit far better and driven in many; more runs than Slaughter. 1 h's summary dismissal might be accounted a front office I error as welL Rickey makes no friends by kicking Frankie out so ruthlessly, with the season only a few more days to go.

The canning of the once great little second baseman in that fashion reflects sordidly on the sportsmanship of the Cards' front office. In 1S73 a woman in Riverside, 'Calif, received from the U. S. de- partment of agriculture, two small navel orange trees. Today Califor- worth of oranges.
