Gl Streak Cracked, Will Vent Spleen on Colonials Next Thursday. EATEN Saturday for the first time since midway of the 1934 B season, North Dakota Univer- sity's eleven comes here Thanksgiving day seeking its second victory in as many years over George ‘Washington's Colonials in the closing battle of the campaign for both teams. The game will be played in Central High School Stadium. “Having struck a snag in Western Maryland at Baitimore Saturday, los- ing by one-touchdown margin, the Nodaks no doubt will be keenly anxious to face Jim Pixlee's lads. In the past the two teams have met three times, with the first game in 1931 ending & 6-6 tie, G. W. winning the second in 1933, 27 to 6, and North Dakota blocking & kick last year to win, 7 to 0. Leemans “Goat” Last Year. BUT if the Sioux are eager for the| fray, then the Colonials, especially | TTuffy Leemans, are downright sleep- Jess in anticipation.« They lost some prestige in dropping that 1934 affair, and Tuffy was the goat. It was a former high school rival of Leemans—Left Tackle Louis Chu- mich, who weighs 230 pounds—who smothered one of Tuffy’s punts dur-| ing last season’s rain-drenched con- | test and recovered for a touchdown. Chumich is due to face the Belgian Bomber once more and the Colonial sce promises revenge. Coach Jim Pixlee took Leemans, Capt. Deming and several others of | his squad to Baltimore Saturday, seek- ing first-hand information about North | Dakota's ability. Particularly, they| were looking for the strong and weak points of the Sioux's passing attack, which is said to be the chief reliance of Coach C. A. ("Jack”) West's team. If the Sioux, led by Halfback Jack | Charmonneau, their best passer, are| expecting to fight an aerial battle *Thanksgiving day, George Washington will not dodge the issue. During the past month the Colonials, with their newly developed spread formation, have worked up a passing offense both | effective and spectacular. For this final game the Colonials/ will have their best array of .the season. Ben Plotnicki and' Bruce Ma- han, halfbacks, are ready to play fol- lowing injuries that have kept them | idle for a month and their presence will add considerable to the decep- tiveness of the general offense. Both will be available to relieve Leemans or team up with him in engineering the Colonials’ passes. Plotnicki, too, can contribute a lot with his long-distance kicking. Finis for Six Colonials. Tflz game will mark the close of collegiate competition for six G. W. players. They are Leemans and Capt. Harry Deming, all-time G. W. back and tackle, respectively; Kenneth “Red” Rathjen, one of the best cen- ters in this section; Left Guard Sid Kolker, Washington’s lone represent- ative on the team: Plotnicki, and | Henry Vonder Bruegge, reserve end. General admisison tickets, priced at $1.10, will be good for reserved seats | if purchased before Tuesday at 5 p.m., at the Colonial ticket office, 2016 H street northwest. TANGORA, D. C. BOY, ALL-BIG TEN PLAYER One of Two From Northwestern on Mythical Team—Berwanger Only Unanimous Choice. By the Associated Press. 'HICAGO, November 25.—Minne- sota’s mighty array placed five men on the Associated Press Western Conference all-star foot ball team selected by the 10 coaches, for the second straight year, but left a large ghare of the honors for Chicago’s John Jacob (Jay) Berwanger. Berwanger, one of the greatest backs in Beg Ten gridiron history, rated on the midway in the same bracket with the late Walter Eckersall, was the only thanimous choice, an honor rarely accorded. Paul Tangora, who resides at 4502 Pifteenth street, Washington, D. C., is fne of two Northwestern players placed on the mythical eleven. He was voted a guard position. Somewhat of a disappointment for two years the 188-pound guard played steadily all season for the Wildcats and reached his peak against Notre Dame and Jowa. Tangora is a semior. He did his foot ball playing in Washington with Devitt Prep. Three members of the mythical eleven, Berwanger, Widseth and Wendt, were honored for the second consecutive year. Jones, Ohio State's five pivotman, was & 1034 second team | ! selection, Statistically, the 1935 team shapes up as a powerful unit. The line with Bmith, at 225, the biggest man, aver- ages a shade over 200 pounds from ‘end to end. The backfleld, with Ber- wanger and Beise at 195, Simmons, 180, and Levoir at 175, averages about 186 pounds. ‘The line-up of the first honor team of the Western Conference follows: Ends: Merle Wendt of Middletown, Ohlo.

Western Maryland was beaten by Catholic University, 20 to 6, and after Georgetown will meet the Uni- versity of Maryland.

Y., November 25. —The records must be turned back 14 years to 1921 to find when Syracuse and the Univer- sity of Maryland—rivals Thanksgiving day at Baltimore—last met on the gridiron, Back in that post-war period Syra- cuse beat Maryland, 42 to 0, in 1921, avenging a 10 to 7 upset administered by the Terps in 1920. These are the only two games ever played between the two institutions. The intersectional warfare will be resumed, however, Thanksgiving, in Baltimore's municipal stadium with the Orange squad from Syracuse bent on a victory that will round out one of the most successful season’s in its history. Exceeds Expectations. PREVIOUS to the Colgate defeat, Syracuse won six straight games with & team that was regulated to a mediocre position before the season opened. To realize one of the best season’s in the school's history, Syracuse must defeat Maryland. No stones are be- ing left unturned in this effort. The Terrapins have been thoroughly scouted and the Orange realizes a tough game looms. The “arms, legs and feet” of the Syracuse offense will be in top condi- tion for the Maryland game. The “grms” is Ray Reckmack, the big halfback who can throw a foot ball 60 yards with accuracy. Vannie Alba- nese, the hard-driving fullback, is the “legs” and the East'’s third leading scorer. Handsome Jimmy Nolan, the first-string quarterback, acts as the “feet” with his excellent punting. Has Two Great Guards. YRACUSE will present one of the nation’s great pair of guards in Ed Jontos and George Perrault, seniors and co-captains of the Orange team. Their play has been outstanding in every game. Another luminary is Joe Minsav- age, elongated right end whose spe- cialty is snaring long and short passes thrown by Reckmack. This combina- tion has been particularly effective. .

The Golden Bears of California, previously the best defensive team on .| the list, and Dartmouth's Indians, Other Owners Halt Mack’s Motions Toward Grand Deal With Beantown. BY JOHN T SEEMS that there were several l loud squawks and any number of vigorous beefs from the magnates of the American League a short while ago when Squire Cornelius Mack, the sage of Philadelphia, made motions toward peddling his whole ball club up the sea coast to the Boston Red Sox. Among the valuable live stock to be included in this transaction were James E. Foxx, the great rignt-handed slugger; Eric McNair, as deft and peppery & shortstop as you could wish to see; Roger Cramer, the fleet-footed, hard-hitting outfielder; Pinky Higgins, possibly the best third baseman now at large, and John Fatso Marcum, the class of Squire Mack's pitching staff. This deal was bigger than any one expected, but it seems to have been definitely on the fire, in spite of the subsequent angry denials of the Boston agent, Eddie Collins. It was on the fire until Col. Jake Ruppert and two or three of his fellow magnates put their feet down. They f.h:md!ax[ to a point where it would cease to be end his Yanis, LARDNER Marcum stays in Philadelphia for the nonce, and Squire Mack agrees to mark time on Foxx for a few days anyway. Of course, Col. Ruppert's hasty communistic gesture does not break the backbone of the Boston-Philadel- phia deal completely. McNair and Cramer will strengthen the Red Sox, magbe give them & pennant. And there is still & possibility that Foxx will follow his teammates to Massa- chusetts—unless Col. Ruppert can raise the ante and block the move. Colonel in Strange Position.

The Methodists also took the scoring lead among the “un- beatens,” with 244 points against 238 for T. C. U, and with a 10-0 shutout of Baylor provided the most impres- sive defense record. 8. M.

It is seldom that one sees & better all-around team than the squad Princeton sent ripping through the ‘Green. But its main asset was speed. The for this year's team. This is due largely to Princeton's schedule, which in other years might have been one of the hardest—against Pennsylvania, Cornell, Rutgers, Navy, Harvard, Dart- mouth and Yale. The two decisive overthrows that Princeton turned on Navy and Dartmouth could never ha ‘e been accomplished by an average, ordinary team. Any unbiased spectator who saw that Tiger line and that Tiger back- field handle the job on & snow-swept field as Princeton did could ask for little more. Here is & team that has no line weakness from end to enc—a team rigged out with seven or eight high- class backs who can run, kick and pass —a team that knows how to block and tackle—a squad with exceptional re- serve strength. It has speed and it has power and reception. Why shouldn’t it be one of the best? ‘You will hear over and over that her schedule hasn’t been strong enough to prove any such claim. The same chal- lenge might be thrown against Joe Louls, but there still are a few who think Louis is & pretty fair fighter, as they happen to come along. How would Princeton come out against Minnesota or Southern Meth- odist? You might also ask how the same teams would come out against Texas Christian or Louisiana State, to name two others that know what a foot ball looks like. Every one knows the big jobs Min- nesota, Southern Methodist and T. C. U. have accomplished. But that is taking nothing a from the job Princeton ocarried out against a good Dartmouth team on Saturday—not a great Dartmouth team, hut s good |, one. And this was accomplished under weather conditions that might easily have bogged down a squad that wasn't sure of its strength and confident in its ability to keep on moving—snow, rain or wotthehel. It might also be remembered that this material is under the direction of able coaches who know their stuff. It would be ridiculous to say that Princeton could beat Minnesota, or that Minnesota could whip Southern Methodist or T. C. U, or that any of these could rumple up Louisiana State. There are too many good ones today to start chucking sll the laurel in any one direction. The Aggressive Outsider.

BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, November 25— Selection of the West's Rose Bowl representative was under way today and the consensus here was that Stanford would get the | call for the New Year classic for the third straight year. California and the University of California at Los Angeles, tied with the Indians for the Pacific Coast cir- | cuit title, also were seeking the honor as the 10 conference members cast their ballots.

Bears Still in Running. CALDORWIA, eager to get the bid despite its first defeat of the sea- son Saturday, was by no means out of the running. U. C. L. A, however, held little hope for the bid after its defeat by California and Southern Methodist University. While the West will untangle its half of the knotty Rose Bowl problem today, the country probably will be forced to wait until next Saturday or later for the Eastern representatives selection of an opponent. Stanford has indicated its desire, if invited, to play an undefeated team. These have become scarce. Field Soon to Be Narrowed.
