The Lincoln Parkers, figured by many critics to trim Central by several touchdowns, were held to the one touchdown by the Columbia Heights outfit and were not at all_impressive against their fighting but lighter and less inexperienced foe.

BY ALLAN J. GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. TLANTA, Ga., October 20.—The mental angle, psychology, the jinx or whatever it may be la- beled, adds to the current com- plications of college foot ball. It played quite a part in the advance dope on today's games, which involved the most widespread tests of champion- ship aspirations so far in the 1928 cam- paign. : Qeorgia Tech, for instance, in this Southern stronghold of foot ball, sent | its forces out to chase the jinx that Notre Dame has appeared to hold over the Yellow Jackets. The Hoosiers h:\\'e‘ captured this intersectional tilt for the | past six years, but today they run up! against a powerful Tech array, imbucd with new confidence. This confidencc may have been inspired by the knowl-| across only one touchdown, serjously | the other in the fourth period. have been | threatened to push another over and | edge that Rockne's men somewhat erratic performers on the gridiron so far, but it existed never- | registered just two first downs all the | Theless. Likewise in other big battles of the day Army hoped to chase away the memory of defeats at Harvard’s hands | in the days when the Crimson sat| around the top of the heap, while out | ‘on the West coast California sought to | gshake off its bad luck of recent years| $t the expense of Southern California. These games, along with Nebraska- Syracuse, Michigan-Ohio State, Ala- dama - Tennessee, Vanderbilt - Tulane, nnsylvania-Penn State, Yale-Brown and a flock of others involving old vivals, occupied the spotlight of an| ‘eventful day. Old Man Foot Ball and | the dope have taken considerable pun- | ‘4shment so far, and it would not be sur- | prising to see the list of upsets sub- | stantially increased by the time all the weturns are in. % So far it has been di | perts to pick the outstanding elevens in | any sector with any degree of assurance. When ordinarily top ranking outfits | like the Navy and Michigan go this far wichout a victory between them and| comparative little fellows such as Davis- | Elkins and Centenary spring promi- | nence, it illustrates the pitfalls of ex- | perting. | Today's skirmishes, however, appear fertain to clear much of the atmosphere. Three of the teams generally rated | among the South's strongest—Alabama, | Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech—all may |5 be dged with more precision after to- day’s events are over. ‘The Army-Harvard, Penn-Penn State, | ‘Yale-Brown, Bucknell-Lafayette and | B Charlotte Hall, Md., School opened its campaign with a 12-to-0 win over St. Paul's School in Baltimore, and St. Alban's Eastern, though it contrived to shove was the aggressor all the way. Central afternoon. Charlie Millar, the ace of the East- ern backfleld, counted the touchdown in the second period. The blond half- back plunged over in two line bucks from the 5-yard line after he had dashed 20 yards to put the ball in striking distance. Wood's place kick for the extra point failed. A gallant Central stand in the | shadow of its goal posts prevented an Eastern touchdown in the opening period. After Capt. Billy Wood, clever quarterback of the Lincoln Park team, had swept right end for 31 yards to put the ball on Central's 31;-yard strip the Columbia Heights line became a stone wall and Central was able to kick out of danger, Capt. Wond and McCullough were Mcult for the ex- | offensive stars for Eastern in addition | to Millar. Big Tom Nally, tackle, played a stellar line game for the Lincoln Parkers, opening up hole after hole in .he Central forward wall. None of the Central backs was able to gain appreciable ground. Several of the | broteges of Ty Rauber got in some nice defensive work, however. Central played without the services of Gene Collella, clever quarterback, who was kept on the :idelines because of scholastic difficul- ies. Central. Position. Eastern Holland L. Nall . Monitagu ..C.

THREE BIG CLASHES ON COAST SCHEDULE By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, October 20.—| ‘Thousands of Pacific Coast foot ball fans turned their attention today to three midseason Conference clashes in the race for the coast championship. The clash between the University of Southern California Trojans and the ‘University of California Bears at Ber- keley was the biggest drawing card, fmearly 80,000 persons held tickets. At Portland the University of Oregon and the University of Washington squared off to settle for this year their {long-standing feud. Thirty thousand persons held tickets. The third con- ference feature was the meeting of Oregon State College and Washington State. | The University of California at Los| Angeles, youngest conference member, ‘was to play a non-conference member, ,the Montana State School of Mines at ‘Missoula. Stanford University passed and pounded its way to a 47-to-0 vlctory, over the heavy University of Idaho jeleven here yesterday. Idaho's feeble yefforts were crushed beneath a Stan-| :ford drive that started from the open- ing kick-off and retted the Cardinals Fseven touchdowns.

ATHENS, Ga., October 20.—A great | Fl‘urman defense all but sm . sleepy, unsustained driving Georgia backfield and the Bulldogs of Alhgns were not unfortunate in eking out a 7-t0-0 gridiron victory over the Caro- linians yesterday. One true pass, about the only one the horsemen of Dixie foot ball made | during the afternoon, found its way to | Cook’s arms in the second period, and | he soampered three yards to a touch- down. Johnson, veteran quarterback, | added the extra point. While the Greenville breeze grew to almost devastating proportions at times, the real threat came in the final period when they advanced to Georgia’s 10- | vard mark. On the fourth down, a| Furman back fumbled, but recovered Lor“a 15-yard loss, and it was Georgla's all.

Spears, Minnesota coach, cast about for a player to try to fill the place ef Herb Joesting, twice All-America fullback, it didn’t take him long to decide on Bronko Nagurski.

R e BRONKO NAGURSKI ; And the Gophers as a whole have a BY WALTER TRUMBULL. T has been written that Horween will be judged as a coach by the showing~ Harvard makes today against the Army. If all coaches are judged by whether or not they beat the Army, this is going to be a tough season for foot ball instructors. The Crimson, as I see it, appears to have just one real chance to win from the West Pointers, and that is by efficlent use of forward and lateral asses. Southern Methodist passed the foot ball all over the lot, to the Army's intense annoyance, but that was in a very early game and the Soldiers’ de- fense surely has improved since then. This Army team looks like one of the strongest in the country. It is a vastly more experienced eleven than Harvard's and fully as strong and fast. Horween can't play the game for his pupils. He can only teach them to play it to the limit of their abilities. If Harvard wins today, then they have not only a good, but a great team at Cambridge. Even with the breaks, it should take an eleven ffil; nltbove the average to beat this Army outfit, Georgia Tech has its chance this afternoon to get even for the 26-to-7 defeat inflicted upon it by Notre Dame last season, and for other defeats by the South Bend eleven. Notre Dame certainly is not as strong as usual, but Rockne never has a really weak team. The Irish always are too well drilled in fundamentals and team play to be in any sense helpless. Moreover, Notre Dame has lots of games this season, and it doesn't gen- crally lose many. If Georgia Tech wins, it will be no empty victory, Princeton on November 3 voyages to discover Columbus, where it will find PASS IS HARVARD’S HOPE TO BEAT ARMY GRIDDERS Ohio State in full war paint, with a vivid memory of the 20-to-0 defeat suf- fered from the Tigers last year. This is one of the big intersectional games of the season. That huge sta- dium at Columbus will be packed with enthusiasts from East and West, and an Ohio victory would light signal fires on every hill in conference territory. Another big intersectional battle that same early November day will be at Chicago, where Pennsylvania will meet the foot ball warriors coached by Alonzo Stagg. From the present viewpoint this doesn't promise to be as close. Penn has a powerful eleven and Chicago has shown decided weakness. All the same, the veteran Stagg is a wily coach and may whip his team into shape for the invasion from the East. A week or two makes big changes in an eleven. There are still many elevens which have held their opponents scoreless. Among them are Alabama, Connecti- cut Aggies, Georgia Tech, Georgetown, Harvard, Holy Cross, Iowa, Kentucky, Lafayette, Louisiana State, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio State, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Temple, Tufts, Villanova and ‘Washington. ‘Washington's record in this regard is the most noticeable, as that university has played four games. The others have played anywhere from one to three. But the season is young and by its end few teams will have a clean slate. Georgetown, Dartmouth and Syra- cuse have been high-scoring machines. In three games Georgetown has scored 171 points, Dartmouth 120 and Syra- cuse 104. These are powerful elevens, with strong lines and fast backs, (Copyright. 1928.)

CHAMPAIGN, T1Il, October 20— Coach Bob_ Zuppke's champion Illini met their first test of the Big Ten's 1928 gridiron campaign today by tack- ling one of the best elevens to wear the crimson of Indiana. The contest between these two un- beaten elevens was considered the most outstanding of the conference’s pro- %ram. Twenty-five thousand had seats or the battle, the first between the two schools since 1914, when Illinois won, 51 to 0. Despite Indiana's great showing in defeating Oklahoma and Michigan, Illinois was a favorite, but Coach Pat | Page of the Hoosiers, who has been busy upsetting teams for 20 years, had his men in fighting mood and deter- mined to come through with an upset. Illinois has played well in its two non- conference games and appeared to have the same type of machinelike play that won the Big Ten title last year. It has been an even quarter century since Indiana triumphed over the Illini on the foot ball field, although there was a draw in 1911. LINCOLN, Nebr., October 20 (#).— Two opposite types of foot ball offensive —a passing attack and a rushing game —_Were represented in the Nebraska- Syracuse game today. Nebraska, dependent on a crushing attack through the opposing line, had its offense built around “Blue”. Howell. Syracuse, determined to avenge its 21-0 defeat of last year, was ready to present an_aerial attack, Despite their contrasting styles of play, however, the teams were almost | evenly matched in weight, both in their lines and backfields. MINNEAPOLIS, October 20 (#).—Six Blackfeet Indian braves from Mentana and a “touchdown tom-tom” added color and provided the war cry “To scalp Chicago” at Minnesota's home- coming foot ball game with Chicago at Memorial Stadium today. The Gophers, with their powerful regulars intact, were the overwhelm- ing favorites to defeat Coach Stabg's Maroons, handicapped by several crip- pled stars. Minnesota defeated Chi- cgg;. 7 to 0, when last they 1918. The “touchdown tom-tom” was brought here from the pillager band of Chippewas near Walker, Minn., to thump deflance to invading foot ball | elevens. It has been used in Indian festivities by the Chippewas for more than 70 years, COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 20 (#)— Ohio State’s best team in seven years t, today was presented with its best chance of beating Michigan since it last turned the trick in 1921. Those who claim to know have es- tablished Ohio State as a pronounced favorite, on the basis of superior weight, speed, versatility and experi- ence. Michigan esses & stubborn though unwieldly line, & fine punter in Totzke and a great determination to beat Ohio State. The attitude on the Ohio State cam- pus is: “If we don't beat Michigan today we never will,” but there is no overconfidence. Six defeats since 1921 have buried that factor. Michigan has lost to Ohio Wesleyan and Indiana for the first time in history, but Coach Fielding H. Yost could be depended upon to put a fighting, resourceful team upon the fleld. LAFAYETTE, Ind, October 20 (#). —Purdue University today undertook the task of stopping Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite's powerful Wisconsin eleven in a homecoming game here. The boflermaker gridmen have a double incentive—to atone for last week's defeat at Minnesotd and to take a Hoosier revenge for the trimming the Badgers gave Notre Dame early in the season. On the game also rest the hopes of Purdue for a berth in the upper s‘e}uon of the Big Ten. It is Wisconsin's first conference game. Wisconsin has not lost to the Indiana school since 1892, Several ties have been recorded, once when Elmer Oli- phant, later of the Army, played for Purdue in 1013, CHICACO, October 20 (#).—South and North renewed their gridiron rivalry at Dyche Stadium today when Kentucky's giant team tackle the lighter but shiftier Northwestern eleven before upward of 30,000 spectators. It was Wildcats against Wildcats, each eleven being known by that cognomen. Today’s invasion was the fourth of the Big Ten in as many seasons for the Kentuckians. They were defeated by Chicago in 1925 and lost to Indiana in 1926 and 1927. In weight, the Kentucky Wildeats were superior to their rivals, their line averages 192 pounds and their back- field 175. Northwestern, defeated by Ohio State last week mainly because of fumbling, was in good condition for the game, which was to be preceded by a contest between its “B” team and Notre Dame’s reserves. Four married men were on the opposing squads, Lambard Squires, “Bull” Brown and Tom Walters for Kentucky and Bill Calderwood for Northwestern. ARMY ANXIOUS TO CALL HALT ON HARVARD TEAM CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 20. (#).—Defeated 13 times by Harvard, the Army foot ball team hoped today to down the Crimson for the first time in 33 vears here in the stadium. Neither team has been defeated this season. Most experts thought the soldiers would win by at least two touch- downs. Harvard hopes rested on its sea- soned backfield which must operate behind a more or less untested line. The Cadets' line outweighed the Harvard forwards by four pounds a position. The Army's backfield has great scoring possibilities. FOR OUTFIELD STAR By the Associated Press.

EW YORK, October 20.—An- cient feuds on Eastern grid- irons were magnets for thou- sands of people today. Army's Cadets had 13 straight defeats to avenge at the Har- vard Stadium and were highly favored to accomplish the task. Relations be- tween the Soldiers and Harvard were broken off after 1910, with Harvard on the winning end of every game it played with the Cadets. Yale, boasting 27 victories in 32 games with Brown, had the dubious satisfac- tion of entering the thirty-third fray an overwhelming favorite. Penn State’s Nittany Lions, beaten 20 times in 20 meetings with Pennsylvania, needed to show great improvement over their losing effort against Bucknell to stop the powerful Penn machine. Andy Kerr's Washington and Jeffer- son Presidents can point with pride to their record against Carnegle Tech. The latt>r has won once and tled twice in 13 battles with Washington and Jeffer- son. Fordham had an outside chance to tie up the serles with Holy Cross et Worcester. The New Yorkers need to win today to make the series eight vic- tories aplece. Princeton and New York University had ancient foes in Lehigh and Rutgers respectively. ‘The East’s other major battles, with the result more or less in doubt, found Bucknell pitted against Lafayette; Co- lumbia against Dartmouth; Duke against Navy, Washington and Lee against West Virginia and Gettysburg against Villanova. Syracuse was at Lincoln to play Ne- braska. Colgate went to East Lansing to play Michigan State. Pitt sought to get back on its feet after the West Vir- ginia debacle by swamping Allegheny.

Thus he wasted a perfectly good victory. Peterson, a Minneapolis product; gave Paulino as good as he received in the first round, but the s‘;mlurd. opening a new American invasion after a long layoff, soon found the range in the second round and floored Peterson for a count of nine. As Peterson got up, the Basque leaped in with both hands and sent the big boy down and out. Losing his head completely, Paulino then landed another punch while Peter- son lay unconscious, his head hanging over the middle rope. After the disqualification the rain- drenched crowd of 5,000, apparently unaware of the foul punch, booed lustily. BAKER CONCEDES WEIGHT, BUT DEFEATS SIMONICH SAN FRANCISCO, October 20 (P).— Sergt. Sammy Baker, contender for the welterweight title, spotted Joe Simonich 3 pounds and gave the tough Butte, Mont., battler a beating in 10 rounds here last night. Baker weighed 147!2 pounds and Simonich 15015, The New Yorker pounded his opponent with a steady stream of rights and lefts to the body and face to win six rounds. Simonich made spurts in three rounds to take them by a margin. In the last two rounds Baker bat- tered his opponent around at will, jar- ring him with rights and lefts to the face, but was unable to stow him away.
