Those elevens hitting the skids were Carnegie Tech, Syracuse, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Creighton, Col- orado State, Brigham Young, Ida- ho, and San Francisco. In those still undefeated, twenty- one major teams, five have been tied. In the East, undefeated are Pitts- burgh, Dartmouth, Villanova, Georgetown and George Washing- ton. Boston College and Fordham have been tied. In the Midwest, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Towa State, West- ern Reserve, Texas Christian and Texas Tech are undefeated. North- western and Baylor have been tied. Farwest teams not yet defeated are California and Santa Clara. In the Rocky Mountain Confer- ence, Utah, only undefeated team in that loop, has been tied. Duke and Northwestern are the only major teams unscored upon. Seven intersectional battles, in- cluding Army vs. Notre Dame, are on Saturday’s card, the feature of which is Pitt vs. Fordham. Minnesota plays Northwestern, Tennessee and Duke battles North Carolina for the Southern Conference title. Miss Scores of Three 6rid Games Scores of three football games‘!’ missing from Monday’s list are as follows: On Saturday afternoon, Louisiana State beat Vanderbilt 7 to 0 and Northwestern defeated Illinois 13 to 0. On Sunday, St. Mary’s won over San Francisco by a score of 13 to6. .- Perfect Year For Talented Toe UNIVERSITY, Ala., Oct. 25.

Maybe Frank ad a slight margin. But Crosetti probably was the outstanding star of the post-season classic. His field~ ing featured the first game and his hitting clinched the second.

Crosetti tied with Gordon with six runs batted in choose run, DiMzg Shaded Red Rolfe was chosen on many all-star teams above Stanley Hack | of the Cubs. But Hack was the bet-| ter man. Hack was the batting star of the Series. His .471 was a higher average than that of any player| who figured in all four games. Rolfe hit a low .167 and made two errors. Joe DiMaggio, a fine star during the season and ranked above any of the Cub fly-chasers, hit a poor 267, while Joe Marty and Phil Cavarretta turned in .500 and .462 figures. M BT T Marty, a substitute not permitted in the first game, was the heaviest {z\ measly .188. Both made two er- hitter with his .500 average. Had Augie Galan not been injured, the chances are that Marty might not even have gotten into the lineup. Another surprise was Gabby Hartnett's flop. Old Gabby, a great leadér and a “clutch” player, coldn’t do anything. He got one hit in 11 times for an .091 average. And Carl Reynolds, the second heaviest hitter on the Cubs during the season, was the batting - goat. He had no hits in a dozen appear- ances.
