C. L. A. New York, Oct. 29.—(#)—Fingers crossed, college’ football's champion- ship contenders took stock of the sit- uation Monday before plunging into the second half of the 1934 campaign. Although titles in most sections will be subject to debate right up to the close of the season, well-defined fav- orites have risen all along the line. Prospects for this week are about as follows: East—Army, Navy, Dartmouth, Princeton and Syracuse alone remain undefeated and untied among major teams arid all face possible trouble this week. Army travels for an en- counter with Illinois, another outfit with a perfect record, and Navy tackles dangerous Washington & Lee. Princeton collides with Harvard, while Dartmottth comes up against its prize jinx, Yale, Syracuse plays Penn State. Other outstanding contests find Fordham, beaten by St. Mary's and southern Methodist, facing Ten- nessee; Pitt's Panthers meeting Notre Dame, and George Washington play- ing host to Vanderbilt. ‘Three Undefeated in Big Ten Mid-West—Minnesota, Illinois, Chi- cago and Purdue are the only teams undefeated in big ten competition, with Minnesota the stand-out. The powerful Gophers play Michigan this week while Chicago and Purdue square off in the duel that will make or break the Indiana-Iowa and Northwest- ern-Wisconsin games complete the conference schedule. Nebraska, which just about clinch- ed the big six title by nosing out Iowa State, is idle this week but Oklahoma meets Missouri and Iowa State tackles Kansas. Michigan State, an unde- feated and untied independent, finds. Marquette next on the list. Detroit entertains Oklahoma A. & M. South—Kentucky furnishes the op- position for Alabama, Mississippi State for Louisiana State, and Mississippi for Tulane. Florida and Georgia are booked. In the southern conference, Duke, Washington & Lee, Virginia, North Carolina and North Carolina State are unbeaten although the lat- ter pair tied last week. Stanford Faces U. C. L. A. Far West—The situation is unchang- ed in this section with Stanford, ‘Washington State as the contenders. Stanford, facing U. C. L, A., and Wash- ington, playing Oregon State, contin- ue their conference schedule this week while Washington State con- fronts the strong non-conference Tay of. 8t. Mary’s Gaels in a Friday game. The Oregon-Montana match completes the conference schedule, California being arrayed against un- defeated Santa Clara, an independ- ent. Southwest—Rice seems to sitting in the driver's seat as the result of the Owls’ triumph over Texas, While the leaders enjoy a “breather” against A. & M., the other six conference teams will be paired off against one another—Texas against Southern ‘Methodist; Arkansas against Texas A. & M., and Texas Christian against Baylor. Arkansas, undefeated in the conference, looms as Rice’s principal, rival. Rocky Mountain—Utah and Utah are the leaders, both undefeat- ed within the conference. Utah will ‘be idle but Utah Aggies play Brigham Young. Colorado University and Col- orado Mines; Wyoming and Colorado: College meet in other conference at- tractions. Concordia, St. John’s Play for Gopher Title 29.—()—Whether college conference St. Paul, Oct. the Minnesota football championship will be held| Fare jointly or singularly by Concordia college of Moorhead or St. John’s university of Collegeville will be de- cided this week. Coming through last week's games with victories to keep their records clear of defeats, the two schools are the only ones to have a chance at the title—unless a miracle happens and both are defeated in their final games. . ‘The Cobbers, a virtual cinch to down Gustavus Adolphus in their BRUDDER'NLAW BOSS, WHOS FO OVAH A YAR, AN’ COULDNT PAY HIM, GAVE HIM TH RACE HOSS HE WAS RIDIN, AS PAY - IN SUMPIN —~AHWS GOT A’ FIFTEEN VARS OLD,NAMED ARMISTICE HARPER, AN HES A SOCKEY —~ AN’ HIS OWED HIM WAGES AN’ AH KNOWS YO KIN GIT TH A RACE HORSE EGAD!

Schedules for this week list at least, three engagements which will stand out among last or next-to-the- last clashes of the waning gridiron campaign. Perhaps the most colorful will be tkat matching Fargo and Wahpeton, both of whom were beaten Friday for the first time this season. The others will feature Jamestown versus Valley City and Bismarck versus Minot. Grand Forks and Mandan have open dates. Figuring in last week's two upsets were Jamestown which drove to a 7-6 upset victory over Fargo's un-| beaten Midgets and Linton which utilized the drop kick for its winning margin in a 9-7 victory over Man- dun’s Class A eleven. Long winning streaks were inter- rupted for Wahpeton and Dickinson. Wahpeton’s second record of straight wins fell short of six when Grand Forks added its seventh consecutive victory with a 14 to 6 decision. Bismarck Stops Dickinson Bismarck stopped 19 to 6 a Dick- inson team that had swept west-of- the-river opposition aside six pre- vious week-ends. In cther Class A wins over Class B opponents, Devils Lake closed its season with a 33-0 win over Lekota, Minot shut out Williston 13 to 0, and Valley City beat Enderlin, 27 to 0.

D., Oct. 29.—A heavy, | powerful Marmarth high school foot- ball eleven waded through Bowman to score a 12 to 0 triumph. Marmarth outclassed Bowman ; throughout the contest, making 17 first downs to the visitors five. Bowman kicked off to Marmarth 54) and the ball was down on Marmarth’s 35-yard line. On the first play, G. Leahy, flashy right halfback for Mar- marth, went through center for a touchdown without being touched by a Bowman man. The place kick for the extra point went wide, Marmarth kicked off to Bowman and they returned to their own 45- yard line. The invaders advanced the ball to the Marmarth 35-yard line be- fore the locals’ défense stiffened and held for downs, The remainder of the half found both teams playing within the two 30-yard stripes. Bowman kicked off to open the second half and Marmarth returned to the center of the field. Holman, Marmarth midget quarterback, run- ning behind excellent interference, went through for some nice gains but two recovered fumbles halted the marches, Bowman kicking out of dan- ger each time. Bill Vandervort broke through the Bowman line late in the game, blocked a punt and fell on it over the goal for Marmarth’s final u 37 score. Outstanding line play was contri- buted by Vandervort, center and Ten- nent, right guard. Leahy at right half and Kercher at full carried the brunt of the Marmarth attack. with Bowman, the first one ending in 9a scoreless deadlock.

Munson, who rejoices in the title of “custodian of equipment” at Minne- sota, has prepared a place for a t:ophy a number of times, but usu- ally, Michigan, which runs into the roaring giants of the north Saturday at Minneapolis, spoiled his plans, Oscar started the tradition way back in 1906 when he ran off with a Wol- verine water jug and refused to give it back until Michigan defeated Minnesota. Since then, Oscar has had his be- loved jug only twice, in 1919 and 1927. Michigan has made a specialty of upsetting what appeared to be su- Perior Minnesota elevens. This is another year, however. Minnesota belabored Iowa for a 48 to 12. vic- tory Saturday, for its fourth straight triumph. Wolverines Are Improving Michigan, still improving, held Illi- nois’ tough little team to a 7 to 6 decision. The prospect of a first vic- tory over the Wolverines since 1927 has accounted for a sell-out of the +3,000 seats in the Minnesotaa stadium, While the battle. if it amounts to that, goes on at Minneapolis, the Big Ten will offer two other outstanding attractions. llinois will play the last game of its series with Army at Champaign.

C. I. Outplayed in the first half, the Bison came back to hold their own in the third period and then launched the most effective drive of the after- noon to register seven of the eight first downs they accounted for dur- ing the melee. In this final period drive, the Bison pierced Sioux territory for one of the fcw times they had carried the oval into that sector. A forward pass from Wendell Schollander to Captain Acey Olson was completed for a short gain. Then from the right came speedy Fritz Hanson, Bison halfback, who took a lateral, not over two feet away. Hanson dashed into a maze of tacklers, out of their arms and into the open. He stumbled as he broke for the goal, with Sioux tack- lers behind him. Finally he fell on the 5-yard line. That was the setup for the most serious threat of the ; afternoon, and the Bison punched at the Sioux forward wall, first Bob ‘Erickson battering his way through for a yard. Then Hanson slipped off his right tackle, carrying the ball 2% yards from the goal. On the next play Hanson swung his own left end for a touchdown, barely managing to sScamper across the double line in the fer left hand corner of the field. SOUTH DAKOTA STATE TOPS COYOTES, 19 TO 0 Brookings. 8. D., Oct. 27.—Before & crowd of 9,000 persons, State Col- lege scored a 19 to 0 victory over the University of South Dakota to mark the seventh unsuccessful Hobo day invasion for the Coyotes. Never have they succeeded in beat- ing State college on the Staters’ homecoming. Although the first period was marked by considerable roughness between the traditional rivals and penalties for both sides, State had the advantage over the Coyotes at all times and were never seriously threatened, but were able themselves to knock off consistent gains. Paul Miller of Platte, sensational speedster working at right half for the Rabbits, carried the ball time after time and when he was taken out shortly before the yame ended, showed an average of 12 yards for, every attempt. Outstanding for University was Sherwood, helfback, who accounted for most of hig team’s gains. Neither team attempted freak plays: ‘or passes, but relied on end runs and line smashes to make their gains, Sift Elevens for Mighty Gophers Roar Along Championship Trail Hum- bling lowa, 48-12 (By The Associated Press) Mighty Minnesota's football aval- anche, roaring along the national dl ip trail, crushed a desper- ate Towa team, 48 to 12, while Illinois was downing an inspired Michigan eleven, 7 to 6, and Ohio State bat- tered Northwestern, 28 to 6, in west: ern conference football games Satur- day. Notre Dame, Chicago, Colgate, Ne- ‘braska, Alabama, Rice, Navy, Prince: ton, Army, Stanford and Dartmouth toppled opponents in predominantly sectional or conference encounters. Southern Methodist upset a slightly favored Fordham University eleven and Purdue downed Carnegie Tech in the chief intersectional games. With a display of co-ordination, power and deception, Colgate’s Red Raiders ran over the undefeated Holy Croas eleven, administering a 20 to 7 setback in the week's chief upset. Minnesota’s gridiron goliaths from the northland, opening their western conference schedule after three early season victories simply overpowered the helpless Hawkeyes during the first half to obtain a 34 to 0 lead at the intermission. With hard-charging linemen open- ing up terrific holes in the weak Iowa line, the-big Gopher backs raced away for many long runs from scrimmage, the most sensational of which was Julius Alfonse’s 77-yard sprint in the first quarter for the second Minne- sote, touchdown. Alfonse, however, had super-back- field performance for company on the Minnesota eleven. All-American Pug Lund, the crashing halfback and Stanley Kostka, a burly, driving full- back, were oustanding with their forays into Hawkeye territory.
