SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. (., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13,.1931. SPORTS 5 D3 Northwestern Gridiron Combination One of Big Ten’s Most Memorable Teams DESERVES RATING AS SUPERELEVEN Wildcat Outfit Is Expected | to Breeze to Title—One [, Midwest Battle. [ BY RALPH CANNON, HICAGO, November 13.— ‘ Northwestern, with one of the great elevens of all time, will coast on through mnother slaughter house game with Indiana here tomorrow as the foot ball season in the Middle West sinks gradually into a decline. As week after week goes by with Bensational victories precipitated by the great “Pug” Rentner, far and away the outstanding player of the year, foot ball men are be- ginning to rank Northwestern’s ggwertul and beautifully balanced am with the memorable teams of Big Ten history. . Certainly this team can stand with or ahead of such unforgettable elevens as the championship Grange team at Tllinois in 1923, the PFriedman-Ooster- ban teams at Michigan, and that won- derful old Minnesota team of 1916, Wwith Wyman, Baston and “Hororty” Long, which Walter Camp called the best of all time. Built for Super Team. Northwestern is built on two tre- mendous tackles, Capt. Dallas Marvil and Jack Riley, who weight around 240, and Rentner's extraordinary speed. He has a sharp stop and pick-up, and with the aid of efficient open-field blocking he has turned in long runs in the crucial moments of nearly every ame. . ® Rentner is a remarkable athlete, Wwith a cool, nonchalant, almost phleg- matic, temperament, to control his 182 pounds of speed, shiftiness and skill. He has been running for touchdowns on sweeps from the Warner “A” for- mation almost every week, or on kicks, either kick-offs or punts. ‘The team has all the fundamental Tequirements for a super-team. First it has physique, the personnel; it is smart, and it has fast, shifty backs, and smart sound generalship. The back- field includes four big six-footers, good dor work on passes, both on offense and defense, and the sophomore fullback, gluxnglson, probably is the best punter or sweep. The line usually outcharges its opposition, and the backfield is good on defense against both passes and Tunning plays. Northwestern’s season-end is an anti- climax_with games coming on with the weak Indiana and Iowa teams, but it would have made no difference in the final standing whatever teams in the conference they might have met. ‘The only real contest Saturday is that Ohio State-Wisconsin game. Ohio is the hem“:h tnwm.mbut m '1‘: rugged enol s nut crack, Carl Cramer, Ohio's young quarterback, should tilt the scales in favor of his team. Wisconsin had a hard time winning from the weak Illi- nols team, 7-6. llinois Seems Good. Tilinols should win its first conference game from Chicago. The Illini line is not fast or quick, but it should be better than Chicago's forwards, excepting Capt. Sammy Horwitz, who has been playing great ball under hopeless condi- tions. Illinois' passing by Gil Berry or Bob Horsley should be successful against Chicago's squatty backfleld. Purdue now seems to be going again. and should run up a score on Iowa end runs, although the Hawkeyes did well to hold Nebraska to a single touch- down last Saturday. That Purdue back- fleld has dynamite in it, but the line has been a big disappointment, Michigan State, after getting a score- less tie last, year, is all keyed up to take Michigan in their annual game, but Michigan now seems to be coming uj to its peak and should come through. Michigan seemed to get back on the right foot when Bill Hewitt, star end, was sent back to k, giving the team a ground attack to support its overhead play. Notre Dame has gone East to Balti- more to play a Navy team that would not be a match for their third-stringers. Detroit, an in-and-out outfit, may be better than Villanova, and Marquette, which was beaten by Detroit for its first defeat since late in 1929, should down Butler.

Encouraged by the improvement shown in their last game against the strong Quantico Marines, at Quantico, when they scored their first points of the” season, Gallaudet’s gridmen are going down to Annapolis tomorrow de- termined to wage a desperate battle against St. John's in an attempt to malzl; up their first win of the cam- It will be the next to the last game of the season for the Blues, who will close activities a week from tomorrow against Shepherd College at Kendall Green in their lone game of the cam- paign on the home field.

CHICAGO, November 13 (#).—Herb Joesting, the battering ram of the dis- banded Philadelphia Yellowjackets, has been signed by the Chicago Bears of the National Foow Ball League. Another acquisition is C. O. Tackwell, a guard or tackle, also from the Yellowjackets. Don’t miss the kicl:-off Big Ten Post-Season Games Expected to Raise $750,000 _ For Relief By the Associated Press. ' \HICAGO, November 13.—A fund of $750,000 is the amount West- ern Conference universities hope to raise for charity by playing five post-season foot ball games a week from Saturday. , This was the estimate today by Maj. John L. Griffith, commissioner .of ath- letics in the Big Ten. The foot ball coaches and athletic directors will meet here Sunday to draft a schedule for the post-season conflicts, Reports from various outposts today in- dicate that Northwestern and Michigan, which shared the 1930 champions! i{l, may meet in one of the standout post- season games, although Minnesota, which lost a_heart-breaking game to Northwestern last Saturday, is eager for @ return engagement to be played in Migneapolis. Purdue After New Foe. ther reports say that Purdue is nnglou.s mrp: game with Minnesota or | Michigan, teams the Boilermakers did not meet in the regular season. Maj. Griffith said the idea in arrang- ing the pairings for the charity games was to bring teams together which did not meet in the regular season, or teams of comparative strength. But this may not be possible. “It's all a big guess at present, as regards the opposing teams, because the directors and coaches have their own ideas about opponents, and the whole thing will be settled when they get together Sunday,” Maj. Grifith said It was revealed that Soldier Field on Chicago's lake front, which held a_record-smashing crowd of 123,000 for | the Notre Dame-Southern California | game two years ago, has been engaged | for one of the principal attractions, probably the Northwestern-Michigan game, if it can be arranged. Seven States Get Money. ‘The total amount of money raised will be divided among the seven States in which’ the universities are located. ‘The division will be made on the basis of population, with the funds in each case going to the Governor’s Unemploy- ment Relief Commission. While the university authorities are interested primarily in tlLe pretentious of Unemployed drive to raise funds for worthy char- itable enterprises, the undergraduates at the universities are worked up to f:vermnl&ch o‘;‘e’r v.h:‘ prospects of hav- g their gridiron ch;_rhuhed iy A wvorites meet some e proposal for another battle be- tween Notre Dame and Northwestern, Which fought to a scoreless tie in the rain and mud at Soldier Field early in the season, has been definitely side- tracked, even for later in the season.
