PAGE SIX OHIO STATE AND JOWA TO BATTLE FOR BIG 10 LEAD Ohio State Won Game Last Year, 13 to 6; Iowa Con- sidered Strong GOPHERS VS. HOOSIERS Carnegie Tech Meets George- town; California Plays Washington New York, Nov. 6.— (AP) —In football games Saturday, November 10, the players will go out deter- mined to do better than they did last vear. In seven important games on this date last season ties resulted and Saturday will give the battling elevens an opportunity to reach a decision 12 months late. Johns Hopkins slipped up on Co- lumbia’s blind side to score a 7 to 7 draw, and Cornell was rudely shocked by a6 to 6 tie with St. Bonaventure. Syracuse found. no relish in a game with Ohio Wes- leyan ending with the same score. This same Ohio Wesleyan team started its 1928 season by defeat- ing Michigan, first of a series of reverses for the Wolverines. Neither Pittsburgh nor shington and Jefferson has scored on the other since 1925 when Pitt won 6 to 0. Two scoreless ties followed. _ Gophers Have Object Minnesota and Indiana fought out \ grueling 14 to 14 game, a ver- dict that cost the Gophers a share in the 1927 Big Ten championship. In the south a year ago Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt played all af- ternoon without either mustering enough drive to score and the same day Tulane and Auburn quit with the count 6 to 6. Army and Notre Dame pla: their annual game at New York will find the Cadets a heavy choice but Army won last year 18 to 0, when Notre Dame_ entered the game @ favorite. Boston shiuld see the fur fly when Boston College plays Fordham, a natural rivalry being tensified by the position of Major F. W. Cavanaugh, Fordham coach, who formerly coached Boston. A sharp engagement should be waged in contrast to an easy victory for Bostonians last year. Dartmouth Is Anxious Dartmouth defeated Brown 19 to 7 at their last meeting, but may not be able to do it again. Pennsyl- vania ran roughshod over Harvard in 1927, but the score should be closer than 24 to 0 Saturday. Michigan and Navy, both off to bad starts, have improved and should have a pretty battle at Bal. timore. There was plenty of scor- ing last November when Michigan won 27 to 12. e Carnegie Tech and Georgetown ill give the fans of Albany, N. Y., a treat, playing me a bit out of the beaten football path. Two Southern teams engage Eastern opponents when Maryland travels lew Haven to meet Yale and Washin, Princeton for a bout with the Tiger. Yale beat Maryland last year 30 to 0, and Princeton won from the Gen- erals 13 to 0. Tech Meets Vanderbilt Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt flushed with success, meet in At- Janta in a game that may have an important bearing on the Southern Conference race. Another great battle in Bpecepect for Dixie is the aotg lorida game, won last year by Georgia 28 to 0. The story is different this November. The Al- ligators are stronger than they were then and the Bulldogs have lost some of their bite. The annual meeting of the two Carolinas—North and South—will be interesting, for the contest is always close. South Carolina won in 1927, 14 to 6. Texas will grow excited over the battle of the Texas Aggies and Southern Methodist. The Aggies rode the Mustangs hard 1: year, winning 39 to 13, but this is another year.

Fore- PET STRING OF Baylor Pulls Unexpected by Whipping Norton Crew by 28 to 7 Count; Louisiana College Played Season Last Year Without Loss or a Tie Texas, Nov. k ent in much the same spectacu! jion of Centre’s “Praying Colo: nels” of recent years, Centenary College of Shreveport, La., has seen its string of 14 consecuti’ tories broken by an inspired team which it was rated to outscore by a three- touchdown margin. Baylor of Waco, Texas, a South- west Conference representative, brought triumphs of the little Lou- isiana schoo! to a halt with a de- e 28 to 7 victory over the eleven which was the only college grid squad playing a representative schedule last year with neither a loss nor a tie game to mar its record. Baylor Earns Plaudits By its victory, Baylor earned the plaudits of four other Southwest Conference teams who fell before the Gentlemen, a name which be- lies their slashing, whirlwind of- fensive. Just by way of making the end of its streak official, Cen- tenary lost a second successive game—its first defeat ve a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic Association in the four years Centenary has been renresented in that organization. trimmed the Gentlemen by 21 to 14 in the Tennessee city a week after and so became a favorite to take the S. I. A. A. title which Centenary held through three seasons—with some minor dispute from other un- defeated elevens In 1927 Centenary scored 260 points to its opponents’ 35 in a diffi- cult 10-game schedule. Southwest Conference victims of Centenary were Southern Methodist, Baylor, Rice and Texas Christian. South- ern Methodist was beaten 21 to 12 in one of the greatest upsets of the year. The Louisiana team eked out a 9 to 6 victory over Baylor and had no difficulty disposing of Rice by 33 to 7. Texas ian was nosed out, 7 to 3. ' Start Season Well Starting in this year where they left off when football togs were packed away last Thanksgiving Day, lomer H. Norton’s team brushed aside the Sam Houston Teachers of Texas, Southwestern of Louisiana and Daniel Baker in early season games, and then set the Southwest reeling with a well-deserved 6 to 0 triumph over Texas A. & M., last poneeges Conorenee champion. 3 sticcess was to short-lived, however.

C. Small, announced. ; Showers suffered a concussion of the brain and collapsed in the sixth round, and was taken to a hospital in an unconscious condition. He had recovered consciousness today and was able to talk. The doc- tor said he did not believe there was a skull fracture, but arranged to take an X-ray of the boxer’s head. Showers was in a serious condition last night and Callahan was taken into custody by police pending his Indiana recovery. i After absorbing a terrific punish- ment in the scheduled 10 round bout at White City last night, Showers collapsed and fell unconscious in the sixth round. After physicians had worked for 45 minutes attempting to revive him, a pulmoter squad from a nearby fire department was called but it also failed. He then was tak- en to a hospital. Callahan had several stitches tak- en over his. eye to close a bad wound suffered in the fight and then wes taken into custody under no charge by the police, : ending out- come of Showers’ injuries. At the hospital, Showers was in a semi-comatose condition and re- peated that his head was. buzzing and very sore. Dave Barry, referee of the bout and promoter Mique Malloy were taken along with Callahan to the Woodlawn Avenue station, but re- leased after a few minutes question- ing.

New York, Nov. 6.—One casualty was reported in the camp of the New York University football squad after their game with Colgate and it wasn’t a player. Not a member of the Violet squad was injured in the game, but Charley Porter, N. Y. U. trainer, slipped on a bar of soap in the dressing rooms between halves. As a result, Porter, instead of speline: his time doctoring the players in the days that intervened between the Colgste game and the next game was forced to attend his own badly bruised hip.
