Show Monday, October 10, 1949 DAILY HERALD The Sports Beat By RAY SCHWARTZ Herald Sports Editor Ifa a good thing hope springs eternal, as they say, or Brigham Young university football fans would be in a erious state of discouragement and frustration today. When the Utes defeated the Qougars, 38-0 Saturday night in the Utah stadium, it marked the 21st time in the 25 games between the two schools that Redskin elevens have emerged victorious. In those 25 meetings, the Cougars have won only once in 1942 when Floyd Millet, former BYU basketball coach, handled the team in the absence of Eddie Kimball, who was in the service at the time. There have been three ties, since the annual grudge battles started back in 1922. . Despite the great preponderance of Utah victories over the years, every year there are always those die-hards they are getting less numerous every year as the Utes pour it on with regularity who feel trie cougars nave a gooa chance of winning. And this year was no different from the rest' Felt Supremely Confident There were a lot of people in Provo who felt the Cougars had a good chance Saturday night against the Red-ikins, Red-ikins, or at least that they would give them a good battle. The players themselves at least those this writer talked to before the game felt supremely confident they could take the Utes into camp this year. And the Cougar coaches at last Monday's Athletic Unlimited meeting, hinted rather ptrbngly that they felt their team had a good chance against the Utes. 1 There' were probably several reasons for this opti- mlstic feeling. In the first place, everybody was willing ' to admit that "Kickapoo Ike's" team was "down," after going three games without a victory. Those who had watched the Utes in previous games said the Redskin eleven wasn't as potent offensively as it had been in , previous years. ; Same Old Story , But once again it was the same old story. Once again the Cougars and their fans were n for a night of disillusionment disillusion-ment Saturday as the Redskins, getting thef jump on the Cats and taking advantage of the breaks and scoring opportunities op-portunities offered them, poured it on in the third and fourth quarters. The Cougars fought desperately hard to hold the Utes In check as evidenced by their goal line stand in the second quarter when Utah had first and ten on the I Y one-yard line and couldn't put it across. That stout-hearted goal line stand went for naught, liowever, when th Utah backs, sparked by Hal Tate and Dom Sucowicz, ran wild behind a larger Utah line that tore 'the center of the lighter BYU forward wall to ribbons. The TJtes went 62 yards for their first touchdown four minutes after the second half began. They went 60 yards for their second touchdown a few minutes later using the same tactics tac-tics smashing down the middle until they got into scoring -territory and then sweeping the ends for the score. Best Ground Gainer The Cougars were 'beaten although, they kept battling right down to finish. There were three or four times when Rex Benr the best Cat ground-gainer, broke into tlte Ute secondary and appeared to be on his way. But his blockers leouldn't clear the way sufficiently to allow him to go all the 'way, even though on occasions they had only one or two OJtan players to beat. , J y There were other times when the secondary ap- peared to be blocked out, but the Ute linemen were able tq recover fast enough to gang up on erry and other t Cougar backs and drag them down from behind. ;There were other times, the Cougars were stopped, by penalties, and the Utes scored twice on pass interceptions, .but all in all, the Utes had about as many "bad" breaks as the Cougars. The difference was the Utes were opportunists and the Cougars weren't.

He saved game after game for the Cherokee Indian. Reynolds didn't need his help in the aeries, for he won his only start, 1 to 0, in that historic open ing game. But Reynolds was the only Yankee pitcher who went the distance. Come Through Three times Stengel called on Waterfield Stars As Rams Beat Bears By 31 -16 Count By UNITED, PRESS The Los Angeles Rams, thanks to the unerring arm and foot of Quarterback Bob Waterfield, boasted three victories in three sttfrts and undisputed possession of first place in the western division di-vision of the National Football league.

Stars Capture GovernorVCup HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 10 (U.R With the same consumate jkill they showed during the regular season, the Hollywood Stars knocked over the San Diego Padres, 8-4, Sunday to win the Pacific Coast league's governor's cup aiid the $15,000 that goes with it. The able pitching and timely hitting which kept the Stars ahead of the pack since April led to four straight playoff victories over the Padres. The border-towners border-towners swept the first two encounters en-counters of the final best-of-seven series.

Raschi weakened badly yesterday, yes-terday, but not until his mates scored 10 big runs. When Stengel i replaced him with Page, only a four-run lead remained to the Yanks. That was plenty with Page on the job. Two By Hits Three Dodgers reached base against Page, two by hits and one by a walk. But in the ninth inning, in-ning, when the game was being finished under lights for the first time in series history. Lefty Joe nailed the .championship flag -to the mast by striking out three batters. Burt Shotton, whose series direction was the subject of considerable con-siderable criticism, took the biggest big-gest gamble of his life for the fifth game yesterday and started Rex Barney, a fastball righthander right-hander who had spent most of the season in the 'Brooklyn Boss' doghouse. dog-house. But Barney was not equal to the task and, when the Yankees got to him for two runs in the first inning, it was all over but the shouting.

Albert Passes '49ers To 56-28 Win By UNITED PRESS You can expect somebody to find a sure-fire cure for death and taxes any day now, because something just as amazing has happened the Cleveland Browns have been beaten. After 31 games stretching all the way from 1947, the San Francisco Fran-cisco Forty-niners upset the Browns applecart Sunday by the resounding score of 56 to 28. The Fortyrniners gt more than the satisfaction of an upset, however, because they also took over first place in the league.

In the only other league game plaved Sunday the Los Angeles Dons defeated the Buffalo Bills. 42 to 28, as Glenn Dofcbs of the Dons hooked up with George Ratterman of the Bills in a pass- .ing duel. Casey Stengel Named World Series Hero !By CARL LUNDQUIST ! NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (U.R) The j World Series hero? Manager Casey Stengel of the world champion Yankees by a landslide. The goats? Brooklyn's relief pitchers also by a landslide. The final returns are all in now, and that is the way it has to be. Stengel, who would be the last fellow on earth to claim the credit himself, simply carried on into the the series the same urge to win with a club that on "paper never even ranked as the best in Jhe American League. He gambled as he had done all year and seldom did his manip ulations backfire. Jt seemed yesterday that his day of reckoning might come when Vic Raschi, tiring quickly because he was going with only two days of rest, blew up and yielded four runs in the seventh, three on a mighty home run blast by Gil Hodges. Throws Bit Chips Raschi, of course, never would have been in there, had not Stengel, Sten-gel, throwing the big chips on the line in the (Saturday game; used up Allie Reynolds in relief. Reynolds had been slated to start the Sunday game. "I had to say to myself on Saturday Sat-urday when I needed Reynolds for a relief job 'heck with tomorrow's to-morrow's game we've got to win this ' one first'. Sure, it was a gamble and I knew Raschi wouldn't be at his best when he had to come back so soon. I realized real-ized what happened to the Dodgers when they had to come back with Don Newcombe a day tod quickly. So Sunday, when Raschi did tire, Stengel had to call on the incomparable Joe Page, who also was mighty arm weary4-having pitched at length on Friday and briefly on Thursday. But Page came through for him aa he had cone so many times before and with home run slugger Hodges at the plate, he struck him out, the third wiff of the ninth inning, to wind up the game. Stengel Gambles In two consecutive games, ctonaol oamhled and won bv using Johnny Mize, the feflow they had called a "choke up" hitter, hit-ter, for successful pinch singles. In the, first one, Mize singled off a lefty pitcher Preacher Roe, and in the next one, he got the blast that won the ball game off Ralph Branca. For the Dodgers in defeat it might have been .different had they been able to come rp with a stopper of something like the Page class. One relief man after another failed, following those first two heart-ltirring 1 to 0 games in which the starters had the whole show to themselves.
