Yanks Inch Closer
To 17th AL Flag
New York, Sept. 27—(A>)_The
Yankees inched closer to their 17th
American League pennant yester
day, reaching the stage where need
only one more victory to tie and
two to win, as they divided a weird
doubleheader Avith the Washington
Senators.
Washington won the first game,
11 to 9. The New Yorkers got off
to a rour-run start in the second
tilt and took a 10 to 7 decision—
after coming close to losing this,
too.
This was the Yankees 96th vic
tory of the season, just one less
than the highest total the Detroit
Tigers and Boston Red Sox can
attain.
The Red Sox, idle today with 91
victories, have six games to go, in
cluding two against New York.
Detroit, which divided a double-
header with St. Louis, has one
more victory than the Sox and
five still to play.

the first ten.
The first ten teams, as rated
from performances of the last two
weeks are 1), California, 2), Ken
tucky, 3) Southern Methodist, 4)
Michigan State, 5) Tennessee, 6)
Stanford, 7) Georgia, 8) UCLA, 9)
Texas, 10) North Carolina.
Going further down this list we
find TCU listed 11th, Texas A&M
22nd, Baylor 39th, and Arkansas
53rd. Other Texas teams (non-con
ference K stand thus: Texas Tech
42nd, North Texas 68th, and Hous
ton 99th.
California’s AVin—First
Williamson placed California
first on their 27 to 9 victory over
Santa Clara. This loss didn’t lower
Santa Clara’s position much though
as they fell to 19th, still above
the undefeated Aggies of Texas
and Oklahoma.
Kentucky’s Wildcats moved into
second spot by gaining a hard-
fought 14-0 victory over LSU.
Again a defeated team rates above
several undefeated ones as LSU
fell no further than 15th.
SMU, Michigan State, and Ten
nessee round out the top five with
wins over Georgia Tech, Oregon
State, and Mississippi Southern,
respectively. Williamson thodght
the lopsided Tennessee score was
enough to warrant the Vols fifth
position.
Last Five, Lush Weekend
The last five teams of the honor
group, Stanford, Georgia, UCLA,
Texas, and North Carolina, had a
lush weekend. That is all except
Texas, who strained to beat Tech
28 to 14, and North Carolina who
barely squeaked by North Caro
line State 13-7.
Th upseets of the week, accord
ing to Williamson, were Georgia
over Maryland 27 to 7, VMI by
William and Mary 25 to 19, and
Wyoming over Baylor 7 to 0. An
oddity arises from these upsets. A
pre-season slate saw William and
Mary as one of the two teams to
beat in the Southern Conference.
VMI, three touchdown underdog,
trounced William and Mary. Wil
liamson rates VMI 41st in the na
tion, placing this “up-setting” elev
en below such teams as Tulsa,
San Jose, Syracuse, Cincinnati,
and San Francisco. It just goes to
show you that you can’t believe
the dopesters.
Taking a look at some teams
that play the Conference “hog-
hiders” we see that Mississippi
(TCU, Oct. 28) is , rated 13th,
LUS (Rice, Oct. 7) is 15th, Santa
Clara (Rice, Sept. 30) is 19th, Van
derbilt and Oklahoma A&M (Ar
kansas, Oct. 28; TCU, Sept. 30
and SMU, (Oct. 14) are 24th and
28th, respectively.
Mississippi State Baylor (Oct 7)
is 33rd, Tulsa (Arkansas, Nov. 25)
is 37th, VMI (A&M, Oct. 14) is
41st, and Texas Tech (A&M, Sept.
30, TCU, Oct. 14, Baylor, Oct. 21,
and Rice, Nov. 4) is 42nd.
Droping way down the list we
find North Texas ([Arkansas,
Sept. 30) 68th and the University
of Houston (Baylor, Sept. 30) 99th.
Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, Purdue,
Ohio State, and Missouri meet
Southwest Conference teams, but
they have yet to play and are not
listed.
Next week practically every
football team in the nation will
swing into action, and a good many
that are rated high this week will
probably take a tumble. A good
many that occupy comparatively
high positions have either lacked
competition, or ha\ r e moved up
over better teams that were idle.
The real story begins next week.

Pickings Go to Pot;
Only Ags, SMU OK
By FRANK N. MANITZAS
Battalion Spprts Editor
Experience is the best teacher, and from now on, the
University of Texas Longhorns will not be getting our vote,
not by such a large margin anyway, for the coming football
games.
A predicted 54-0 victory for the Steers
went to pot, as the Orange and White eked
out a 24-14 win over Texas Tech last week
end. Other predictions which we made that
went the wrong way included Wyomings’
upset over Baylor, 7-0, and Oklahoma A&M’s
12-7 win, also an upset, over the supposed
darkhorse of the SWC, Arkansas.
Only the Texas Aggies and the SMU
Mustangs played close to form. A&M, pre
dicted to be a 21 point favorite, over Nev
ada won 48-18, and SMU took Georgia Tech,
33-13, which was close to the forseen, 26-14.
No explanations are offered, only that we hope that TU
is weaker than pre-season dopes—excuse me—dopesters
predicted, and that Arkansas and Baylor will have to do a
little hustling to win any of their games this year.
TCU, who downed Kansas 14-7, weaker than the 20-0
score predicted, may prove how strong the Okie Aggies are
this weekend when they meet at Stillwater, Okla. Baylor
will be given another chance to win a game when they meet
the team ranked 99th in the nation, the University of Hous
ton, at Waco.
A&M may showup the Longhorns at Alamo Stadium
this coming weekend if they could win by a larger score
over the Red Raiders, and SMU can prove its toughness if
the Ponies muster a win over Ohio State.
TU continues on its supposed easy win road when it
meets Purdue at Memorial Stadium, and Rice will open its
season in a new stadium against Santa Clara who lost to
California last week. Arkansas should look better against
North Texas State this coming weekend, but we’re not pre
dicting anything yet.

Charles, Louis
Raring to Go;
Louis Favorite
New York, Sept. 27—(AP)
—Joe Louis and Ezzard
Charles, their hard training
finished, exercised lightly at
their camps yesterday and
were reported ready and raring
for tonight’s heavyweight title
fight at Yankee Stadium.
Promoters were resigned to a
gross gate of under $200,000. This
would be, roughly $62,000 less
than was paid to see Willie Pep
lose his featherweight toga to
Sandy Saddler three weeks ago.
The fight will begin at 9 p. m.
(CST).
The odds remained a steady 2-
to-1 against Charles in man-to
man betting—what little there was.
It was said that 5 to 1 could be
obtained against Charles’ chances
of winning by a knockout. Ezzard’s
supporters were understood to be
grabbing some of this, figuring it
to be an overlay.
Ezzard, himself, gave out a
fiery statement in which he de
clared that the odds were ridiculous
and that “I expect to score a tech
nical knockout no later than the
12th round. Joe can be chopped
up like any other old guy.”
®
New York, Sept. 27—UP)—Joe
Louis is picked to beat Ezzard
Charles by almost tito thirds of
the sports’ writers covering the
heavyweight title fight tonight at
Yankee Stadium.
Thirty of the 48 writers polled
by the Associated Press picked
Louis to win. Most of them favored
the Brown Bomber by a qnockout.
The other 18 liked Charles.

Military Bowlers To
Compete In MSC
By B. F. ROLAND
“Rank hath its privileges,” but
not on the bowling aleys. That’s
the byword for four teams in
A&M’s Military Bowling League,
which begins tonight at 6:30 on the
Memorial Student Center lanes.
Army officers, Army non-coms,
Air Force officers, and Air Force
non-coms have temporarily broken
relations and declared a kegler’s
war.
Heading the Army officer’s team
is Lt. Col. Leonard F. Walker. “We
may start on the botom, but final
victory shal be ours,” he insists.
Members of the “Bulls”—their of
ficial nickname—are in addition to
Col. Walker, Lt. Col. E. F. Sauer,
Lt. Col. M. T. Bowden, Lt. Col.
Walter H. Parsons, Maj. W. A.
Burruss and Maj. W. J. Hyde.
Air Korps Team Secret
Although Air Force officers have
not announced their team, they
aren’t expecting to be grounded to
night. Lt. Mulheisen, captain of
the team, intends to have a com
plete lineup of AF brass by game-
time.
M/Sgt. R. J. Schroeder, captain
of the Army non-coms, is as con
fident as his superior officer, Col.
Walker. He only smiled wickedly
when the Army officer captain
made his prediction.
Team members for the Army
non-coms are, in addition to Sgt.
Schroeder, M/Sgt. J. E. Milheisler,
M/Sgt. T. F. Marion, M/Sgt. James
Wilson, M/Sgt. G. N. White, SEC
T. L. Heller, SEC J. H. Caballero,
and M/Sgt. William D. Davis.
Air Korps Has “HCM”
Air Force non-coms have made
all predictions “highly classified
material” and haven’t ventured a
guess on their bowling outcome.
Heading the flying sergeants is
M/Sgt. R. W. Stewart. Other team
members are M/Sgt. E. M. Donaw-
ho, M/Sgt. T. C. Black, Tech Sgts.
R. T. Martin and J. D. Sherman,
and Staff Sgt. E. R. Watson.
The Military League claims to
be the first bowling group organ
ized under the auspices of the MSC..
Rank respect will go down the alley
as the four teams meet tonight.
