TWO CONTESTS
ARE ON BOOKS
Rice Takes On Faltering
Ponies; Frogs Play
Razorbacks ^
BY BILL PARKLR
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Humiliated by four defeats and
three ties in their first fourteen
non-conference football gladiators
atari their championship race next
Saturday with two conference
melees.
Tied by Hendrix College. 0 to 0,
and defeated by the Missouri School
of Mines. 20 to 19, the sophomores
from the Uni vers: - of Arkansas
will Invade Fort Worth Saturday to
play the senior Texas Christian
Frogs who trimmed North Texas
Teachers, 14 to 0, to start t' »sr
season, then hit a 3-all snag against
Louisiana State, but came boca
Saturday to smotner Daniel Baker,
55 to 0.
Rice vs. S. M- V.
Having smashed Texas A. and I.,
20 to 0. and nosed out Louisiana
State. 10 to 8. Rice will Invade Dal
las Saturday to battle Southern
Methodist in the other conference
setto. The Mustangs, last years
conference champions, have been
held to a scoreless tie by the Nortn
Texas Teachers, and Saturday were
defeated, 6 to 0, by Texas Tech.
The other three conference ag
gregations will play non-conference
teams. The University of Texas
invades Columbia to battle Mis
souri. Baylor goes to New Orleans
Friday to play Loyola. Texas A. ana
M will play Texas o. and I. at
College Station.
Critics says Texas Christian will
beat Arkansas. The Frogs were im
pressive Saturday in beating Daniel
Baker. They offered a powerful de
fense, and their offense was sen
sational. Spearman, scoring three
touchdowns and • Red" Oliver, with
two touchdowns, led the attack.
Rice is favored over Southern
Methodist. Displayin'- the courage
and ability to come through in the
pinches, the Owls established them
selves as a probable conference
championship unit Saturday by
taking the powerful Louisiana
fitoters. Trailing. 8 to 7. in the
last quarter, the Owls won when
Tom Driscoll, fullback, stepped back
to the 12-yard hne and booted a
field goal.
Te vs. Mir -ri
Southern ..ieth<x ,t made Coach
Ray Morrison's forecast of a de
feat good by losing to Texas Tech
in a mud-battle. The Mustangs had
no chance to unleash their aerial
circus because cf the slippery bail
and uncertain footing. They lacked
a scoring punch.
Texas suffered a 13 to 6 defeat
Saturday at Austin by Centenary
college. Although t'-e Longhorns
walloped Missouri, 31 to 0. last year
at Austin, they anticipate a rtlffer
battle Saturday at Columbia.
Badly crippled with injuries to
Ma.one. Lord. Domlngue ar.d Spen
cer. the Aegies fell before Tulanes
flashing offense. 26 to 14. but the
A and M boys should not have
much trouble beating Texas a. and
1. Saturday.
The Baylor Bears, who plated
their first 1932 game Saturday at
Waco and walloped St. Edwards, 32
to 0. are stumbling into powerful
competition Friday when they in
vade New Orleans for a whack at
Loyola.

Yankees Make It Four
Straight Over Chicago
By EDWARD J. NEIL
(Associated Tress Sports Writer)
CHICAGO. Oct. 3. oP) — The
World Scries of 1932 trailed off to
day toward Its final resting place
among baseball's legends, leaving
the realm of the national pastime
once more under the absolute rule
of the American league, and one
of the greatest champions In all
sports history — the New York
Yankees.
Never before has any ball club
approached the amazing record of
the Belting Behemoths from
Broadway, conquerors of the Chi
cago Cubs In four straight games.
possessors of a streak of 12 suc
cessive World Series triumphs.
It was something to set down in
the record books with a proper
touch of awe and veneration when
the Yankees of 1927 and 1928
swept through first the Pittsburgh
Pirates and then the St. Louis
Cardinals to win two world titles
without a single defeat. Now the

Ruth’s Series
Average .305
CHICAGO. Oct. 3. T—Babe
Ruth, participating in ten
World's Series in 17 years, has
batted the pitching of National
league champions for an all-time
series average of .305
The Babe did not begin to fig
ure as a batting star in the
baseball classic until he joined
the Yankees in 1921. While a
member of the Boston Red Sox.
he served only as a pinch hitter
or as a pitcher.
Ruths greatest year in the
World Series was in 1928 when
he wound up with an average of
.625.
CUBS REJOICE;
SERIES OVER
Bruins Glad to Get Away
From Blasting Of
Yankees
CHICAGO. Oct. 3 — Happy
days are here again for the Cub
pitchers. They don't have to wor
ry about Babe Ruth and Lou
Gehrig for a long, long time, if
ever.
As the Cubs broke up baseball
housekeeping today and turned
their thoughts to putting in a win
ter's supply of groceries, all ad
mitted they were glad the World
Series was over.
“Sure we're disappointed at our
showing,'' remarked Ma n a g e r
Charlie Grimm ''but those guvs
just were unbeatable. Any one
who says Ruth is through is crazier
than a dove hooking up with a
grizzly bear. Hew that guy and
Gehrig can clout 'em' well, it's back
to St. Louis and home for me."
Cubs fans, who first heard of
the Yankee long distance bombings
at Yankee Stadium and then saw
it with their own eyes at Wrigley !
Field, where the Ruppert brigade
made their heroes look like a
fourth place club if a class B
league, were more amazed than
downhearted about the 1932 World
Series show. As they watched the
Yanks mop up in the final game
yesterday. 13 to 6. with a shower
of 19 hits, they first felt sorry for
the Cubs and ended by cheering
the new world's champions.
There was only one solace left
for the Cubs today as they tried
to forget the past week. Twenty
four of them were assured of re
ceiving a check of approximately
$4,000 from the baseball commis
sioner's office as their ''cut” and
that sum was only about $1,000 less
than the individual plunder col
lected by the Yankees.
As the pegs were pulled up last
night and the players packed their
bags for hurried departure, one cf
the biggest topics of conversation ;
centered about Ruth and reports |
that he was going to Boston as
manager of the Red Sox next sea
son. Rumors floated about with
out substantiation although every- i
one knew that a big move was on
to strengnthen the weak spots,
notably Boston and Chicago, in the
American league lor a more even:
■ace. i
Cubs have been added to that
amazing record, without having
even extended the mighty cast of
Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig. Bill
Dickey, Tony Lazzeri and the rest
of the dynamiters.
C ubs Punch Drunk
Almost as a big. good-natured
St. Bernard, unaware of Us own
strength, cuffs in fun at a game
little puppy, all but mortally
wounding its playmate with even
the lightest touches, did the Yankees
leap upon the punch soggv Na
tional league champions to shatter
them yesterday for the fourth
straight time. 13 to 6. in the final
match of the series.
For ore day. the bats of Lou
Gehrig and Babe Ruth that boom
ed like 16-inch guns in the victory
of thp first game here Saturday
lapsed into comparative silence, but
there was no relief for the desper
ate cause of the shattered Cubs
From new quarters the firing broke
out with terrific effect i nd five
pitchers. Guy Bush. Lon Wamekc.
Jakie May. Bud Tinning and even
old Burleigh Grimes went down
under a stunning 19-hit barrage.
There was but one last flare of
hope for the vanquished in the
final episode, as the Cubs, hitting
almost like the Yankees at the
start, soundly belted young John
ny Allen, freshman right hander,
and disposed of him with a four
run assault in the opening inning
that was climaxed by Frank Dem
aree's home run smash into the
left Held bleachers with two hit
ters on base ahead of him.
Chicago Hopes Fade
It was a hope that quickly faded
into disillusionment for the 50.000
militant Chicago faithful. The
Yanks slugged Bush from the peak
in less than a round although they
counted but once, bashed Warnekc
drove him out in the fourth, then
for a pair of runs in the third and
they nicked Jakie May for a couple
in the sixth and piled full force
onto the unfortunate southpaw for
four runs in the seventh and the
.staggeriug Grimes for another four
in the ninth.
The heaviest fire came from a
gun that previously had sputtered
as though the fuse were wet. Tony
Lazzeri. and he belted two home
runs in his anxiety to get his licks
m before it was too late.
The Cubs might have done bet
ter had they intnxiuced earlier
young Bud Tinning, the only pitch
er who troubled the Yanks during
the series.
It seems now as though the
Bruins, though they waged the
gamest fight they knew, never at
any time had much belief in their
own ability to conquer the human
juggernaut that had been turned
loose upon them.
A peculiar psychological factor, a
superiority complex on one side, an
inferiority complex on the other,
pervaded the entire series. Only
the Cardinals of last fall shook off
the apparent instinctive admission
of American league superiority.
Perhaps without realizing just
what they were doing, they lined
tlie from of their own dugout be
fore each game to gaze In silent
awe as Ruth and Gehrig, with
easy indifference, smashed ball
after ball into the stands in bat
ting practice just for their benefit.
Certainly two more conscious or
unconscious gestures of superiority,
two more demoralizing feats of
showmanship, never have been dis
played in World Series conflict
than one engineered by Ruth Sat
urday and another by Gehrig yes
terday.
Babe Docs It
Taking an unmerciful “riding”
from the Cub dugout gang that
chanted in unison as the Babe
saw Charlie Root slip over two
strikes in the fifth inning, the big
hitter turned and motioned it was
only two, and the third, and big
one. still was left. He indicated
they should wait just a moment.
Then he took a toehold and belted
the pitch from the farthest con
fines of the park in center field,
one of the most terrific drives he
ever hit.
Yesterday, when Gehrig stood at
the plate in the sixth inning with
runners waiting on base to be
driven home, he stopped the game
momentarily in an effort to make
Umpire Bill Klem move from a
spot near second base where Lou
thought he rfiight be in the way.
Klem wouldn't budge, whereupon
Gehrig smashed a single through
that spot and missed the umpire
fty inches aim*
