‘SPORTS... |Vith Athletes: By Ed die As h Is Washed Out

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (U. P).— ! Action in the close American league pennant fight was postponed for at least another 24 hours today when

the games scheduled between the Yankees and Athletics at Shibe park tonight was postponed because of

"WRITING in ‘the Minneapolis Times, Dick Cullum, football expert, said, in part, “You wouldn’t be wrong

if you guessed the following lineup for the one the once Golden Gophers will have on the field when they face the kickoff against the Iowa Seahawks a week from Saturday: : Ends: Brandstrom and Wainwright; tackles: Reinhardt and Juster; guards: Day and Jensen; center: Lossie; quarterback: _Kispert; halfbacks: Williams, Lundquist; fullback: Cates. “This is the lineup that has been called the varsity through

say it will hold throughout the season. In a squad that is mainly freshmen and sophomore material relative abilities may change rapidly as one youngster suddenly catches on while another youngster who had caught on earlier suddenly stops improving.

Certain to Keep Things In Suspense THERE is something resembling a fight in progress for nearly even though these fights result in no upsets keep things in suspense

every position and, before opening game, they are certain to most of the season. One of the interesting fights foreseen for the not. distant future is that between the veteran Red Williams and the rookie Bud Gullickson for left halfback. Gullickson is coming like the Montana wind. The seasoning he gets in one hard game may be enough to put him even with the redhead. 8 : “Things are pretty even at the ends, too, where Bill Juhl or Laverne and Dick Nelson of Duluth are pushing Brandstrom and

Wainwright hard.

Pressure on the Regular Tackles “THERE is going to be pressure on the regular tackles too when Bill Aldworth reports and when Bruce Corey gets a few hard knocks and discovers his own natural ability. Graiziger, Weyandt and Kafka are other potent linemen who may find themselves on top the Monday after the first game. “Dick Van Dusen is a good Western conference center. That Bob Lossie has one season of experience the better of it doesn’t get around the fact that Van Dusen could make most Western conference first teams. “Herb Braun, Mutsy Nolan and Matt Sutton are other backs who will continue to contend for prominent positions; and a new Minnesota all-state high school fullback named Frank Linhoft is expected to réport this week and make a bid for it as soon as he has got-adjusted to the Gophers’ style of play. “The Gophers are aiming at the Seahawks this year. They’ want revenge and see an outside chance of getting it” H # s - » n ANSWER to query: The Cubs play the Cardinals in a doubleheader in Chicago next Sunday. + + + Cincinnati has completed its home schedule.

The Buc’s double victory deprived the Cardinals of their opportunity to attain mathematical certainty of clinching the flag. Fritz « Ostermueller started the chore of proving to the Cards that their 17%-game margin had been provided by the rest of the league and scattered eight hits for a 5-3 decision—his 14th of the season and his third over the circuit pacesetters. The Bucs nipped rookie right-hander Fred Schmidt for four runs in the first two frames to make Ostermueller’s task an easy ones

Sonnenberg of Mat Fame Dies

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (U. P.).—The sporting world lost a familiar figure last night with the death of Big Gus Sonnenberg, the former Dartmouth collegian whose “flying tackle” won him fame and fortune in the professional wrestling game. The 44-year-old wrestler, who had been serving in the navy as a chief specialist, died of leukemia at the naval hospital at near=by Bethesda, Md. He ‘had been hospitalized for almost eight months. At one time “Dynamite Gus” was considered among the wealthiest men in his profession but he spent money freely and was said to have gone through several fortunes.

Ninety boys, the largest squad of any high school in the city, are seeking positions on Tech's football team. It' a tough job for Head Coach Paul Wetzel to make choices. These four lettermen are sure of jobs and ease his task somewhat. He has until Sept. 22 to make his selections, On that day the Greenclads open at the East Side field against Jefferson of Lafayette, an old foe. Pictured are (top left) Don Bauermeister, senior right halfback; (top center) Bob Forbes, senior center, and (top right) Jim Seward,

CHICAGO, Sept. 13 (U. P), = The hottest American league race in years has boosted attendance figures for this season to 4,185,000 paying patrons, which is 500,000 more than last year, President Will Harridge said today. With the Yankees, Tigers, Browns and Red Sox engaged in the most bitter league race of several years, there is a strong possibility that this year’s attendance will be more than 1,000,000 over 1943, he said. -

cubator stage and anything can develop as Purdue fights through six conference games and four nonconference tilts with Marquette, Great Lakes, Iowa Pre-Flight and Navy. - Last year Isbell gave up five years of headline play with the Green Bay Packers to become backfield coach at Purdue under Elmer Burnham, who since has gone to the University of Rochester. Stressing the offensive tactics that made. the Packers a perennial power, Isbell then developed a quartet that packed a terrific punch—usually delivered by Quarterback Sam Vacati’s passes or by the powerful legs of Tony Butkovich, All-Amer-ican fullback who established a Big Ten scoring record in 1043 of 78 points. But just as navy-marine directives transferred Butkovich and Alex Agase, All-American guard, from Illinois and Vacanti from Iowa to the Lafayette campus last year, subsequent directives have removed them, : Remaining of the 1943 regulars who smashed through a nine-game schedule undefeated and untied are End Frank Bauman, navy transfer from Illinois who should be one of the Midwest's best this year, and Halfback Boris Dimancheff of Indianapolis who ranked fifth in the Big Ten and 13th in the nation last fall as a ground gainer.

An army dischargee, Dimancheff will pair wtih Chalmers (Bumps) Elliott, 1943 fullback and halfback.
