Jones had coached for 33 years, at Syracuse, his first job; at Yale, his Ohio State; the University of Iowa; Duke University, |and for the last 16 years at U. S. C. He produced 20 All-American five U. S. C. teams that {went to the Rose Bowl and won each time, two Big Ten Conference champions, won the Pacific Coast title three times, and tied for first five times.

Lifetime Average

His lifetime coaching average was 754, his teams having won 193 games and lost 63. His type of football became widely known as the “Jones system.” He ranked with the late Knute Rockne and Glenn S. (Pop) Warner as 8 strategist—but he also was a foremost exponent of sheer power. When his team had a bad year, he usually would say, “Well, we just didn’t have it.” By “it,” he meant power. One of the features of his system was a full-team shift into unbalanced strength either to right or left. There were nine fundamental formations which could be used with the shift, but emphasis was placed on a single wing-back attack. Jones was a great advocate of specialization. His quarterback usually was a man who could run, kick and pass, and did so almost to

Alert Base-Running Wins for Local 10

Alert base-running on opponents’ errors today enabled the StewartWarner softball team to own an 8-to-3 victory over George Silser’s Double-Cola team of St. Louis, gained last night at Softball Stadium, After the visitors had grabbed a two-run Jead in the first inning, the hosts pushed across five runs in the fifth inning tn assume a lead they never relinquished. Three

errors let as many runs score, with singles by Elmer Dietz and Charlie Funke adding the other two. The game’s long blow was a homer by Frank Bordash in the eighth. Holcomb Pontiac downed the Lebanon Winkler Stokers, 5 to 2, in the curtain-raiser. No games will be held at Softball Stadium tonight.

Oh, Me, If Only They'd Played This Kind of Ball All Year

that, they would be far in front of their American Association rivals. Anyway, the jaunt is over, and the Redskins, holding fifth place by one game, move into Louisville this evening for the series opener with the Colonels. Manager Wade Killefer is expected to send George Gill to the mound against the Blue Grass boys. The Indians were all set to win a pair against the Millers yesterday, but the hosts served their favorite poison—home runs—and the Tribe

had to be content with a single vic-|—

tory. The first game of the double« header went to Minneapolis, 10-8, in 11 innings, while the Indians took the second, 5-1.

The Easy Way

While the Tribe was going about its business of getting runs the hard way in the first game, the Millers kept things miserable with welltimed home runs. The home-town boys pecked four over the short fences to drive Ray Starr from the mound and eventually to beat Bill Cox.

Hub Walker produced the first Miller round-tripper in the third inning, but it wasn’t so costly, for the Indians proceeded to build up a 7-3 lead. Then in the seventh inning, Otto Denning cracked out

another with the sacks jammed that

tied the game at 7-7. The third home run—this one by Frank Danneker—again knotted the game at 8-all in the inning of the same figure. All of which provided a perfect set-up for Walker's second home run in the 11th inning with Babe Barna on base,

Logan Wins

Killefer sent Lefty Bob Logan to the hill in the second game, and Lefty limited the Millers to six scattered blows and only one extra-base hit, that a double by Trechock. Meanwhile Lefty's mates found the offerings of Buck Fausett to their liking and pounded him for eight safeties. The Tribe's big inning was the sixth in which they produced five runs from five hits. It was during this flurry that Joe Bestudik homered and three other Indians hit for extra bases.

Hoosier A. C. Girls

Hoosier A. C. scored an 11-2 victory over Logansport in the finals to win the Em-Roe girls state softball tournament at Kokomo. In the consolation game, Babb’s AllStars defeated Kokomo, 9 to 2.

It was a disastrous day for tne Dodgers, who lost their ninth game in their last 12 starts and dropped two full games behind the pacesetting Cardinals. In addition, the Dodgers lost their sparkplug, Dixie Walker, for a few days. He collapsed twice in the nightcap with a cramped leg muscle and had to be helped off the field. For the Pirates it kept alive a smoldering hope that Frankie Prisch will yet get his club up in the pennant race. won nine out of their last 10 games

tied for third place, 102 games off the pace. The bases were filled in the ninth and the Dodgers leading, 3-2, when Maurice Van Robays doubled into the overflow crowd off relief pitcher Curt Davis to give the Pirates the first game. An eight-run rally in the fifth drove Hugh Casey to cover and clinched the second game.

Cards Break Even

The Cardinals had to struggle to get an even break with the hustling Braves, who pounded out a 12-10 victory in the opener and threw a scare into the Red Birds before losing the nightcap, 8-6. Boston shelled Lon Warneke for four runs before he could get a man out. Phil Masi hit two homers and Franke Demaree one. The Yanks rode roughshod over the White Sox, 9-5, to win the opener of a double-header and run their winning streak to nine, but Thornton Lee stopped them in the nightcap, 7-3. Red Ruffing turned in his 12th victory in the opener while Ted Lyons was pounded to cover. Joe Gordon hit homer No. 17 and Joe DiMaggio No. 23. DiMaggio, hitting safely in both games, ran his new hitting streak to 11 straight games.

What's This? Cleveland Wins

Cleveland snapped its five-game losing streak when Joe Heving beat the Red Sox, 4-0, holding’ his former teammates to six scattered hits. It was his first start since June 17 and his fourth triumph. . . . The red-hot Athletics moved into a fourth place tie with the White Sox by grabbing a twin bill from the Tigers, 8-1 and 7-0. . . . Washington battled its way out of the cellar by winning a pair from the Browns, 4-3 and 5-3. . . . Even with their two aces, Derringer and Walters, on the mound, the best the Reds could do with the Phillies was get an even break. Paul Derringer celebrated “Derringer Day” at Cincinnati by shutting out the tailenders, 2-0, but Bucky Walters lost the second game, 8-1. . . .
