Foot Ball World Focuses on Wildcats-Gophers, Rams-Panthers. BY HERBERT BARKER, Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, October 26.—Gath- ering force as it goes along, the foot ball hurricane strikes at Evanston and New York this week. A Big Ten, as well as national cham- pionship hopes, will be at stake at Evanston, where Northwestern's un- | defeated Wildcats attempt to check | the Minnesota Juggernaut that has | rolled over 21 successive rivals. At New York, Fordham’s unspectacular but effective Rams tackle Jock Suth- erland’s Pittsburgh Panthers, riding on high once more since that stun- ning setback by Duquesne. Elsewhere the firing will be heavy, | but these are the two spots to watch. In the face of Minnesota’s awesome rout of Purdue's previously unde- feated Boilermakers, 33-0, at Min- neapolis last Saturday, it would ap- pear that Northwestern's chances are none too bright, but the Wildeats applied no more pressure than was | necessary in halting Illinois, 13-2. Fordham, handing St. Mary's Gaels their first setback, 7-6, and outplay- ing the visitors by a wide margin, | will take a perfect record into its | combat with Pittsburgh, whose Pan- | thers developed astonishing power in a 26-0 conquest of Notre Dame, the worst defeat a South Bend team | has accepted in 11 years. Seven in East Unbeaten. THERWISE this week's schedule lines up about like this: Fast—the unbeaten list among | major schools now has shrunk to eeven—Holy Cross, Villanova, Army, Fordham, Yale, George Washington | and Georgetown. Yale, 28-0 conqueror of Rutgers, faces trouble from Dartmouth’s In- dians who spilled Harvard, 26-7. Holy Cross, winner over Carnegie Tech, 7-0, after being outplayed for three periods, invades Philadelphia to tackel Temple. Army, after a 33-0 “breather” with Springfleld, finds Colgate, 41-0 con- queror of Lafayette, on the list. Villa Nova meets Bucknell; Georgetown, tied 7-7, bv New York University, eases off with Shenandoah: George ‘Washington invades the Southwest to tackle Rice. Outstanding on the card from a traditional standpoint is the first of the “Big Three' classics—Harvard | versus Princeton at Cambridge. The | Tigers stopped Navy, 7-0, on Ken | Sandbach’s sleight-of-hand perform- | ance last week and figure to win, but they do not even come close to rival- ing the great Princeton array of last year. Columbia, surprisingly upset by Michigan, 13-0, will need to look out for trouble from Cornell, 13-7 victor over Penn State. Navy will seek to | stop the Penn powerhouse which | trampled Brown, 48-6, Boston College, | improving rapidly, meet Michigan State and Carnegie plays host to Purdue in leading intersectional tests. The Eastern teams which suffered their first defeats last week, Duquesne and Catholic, will travel. Dequesne, spilled by West Virginia Wesleyan, 2-0, plays Detroit, 20-0 conqueror of Manhattan. Catholic, stopped by Mis- sissippi, 14-0, plays Loyola of New | Orleans. 3 “Irish” and Buckeyes Clash. BIG TEN—The leaders, Northwest- ern and Minnesota, top the pro- gram, of course, but Notre Dame's tussele with Ohio State’s Buckeycs, who squeezed out a 7-0 victory over | Indiana, should draw a near-c pacity crowd to South Bend. Wis- | consin and Chicago, Indiana and Towa, Michigan and Illinois are Big ‘Ten pairings. Marquette, which main- tained its undefeated status with a four-period touchdown that beat Michigan, 13-7, will be tested by the touring St. Mary's outfit. Nebraska's 14-0 victory over Okla- | homa virtually assured the Cornhusk- ers of the Big Six title, but they will not be able to let up against Missouri, ‘which scored its first conference vic- tory since 1932 in spilling Iowa State, 10-0. Oklahoma and Iowa State are paired in the other conference game. Kansas State, which routed Kansas, | 26-6, plays Tulsa and Kansas meets | Arizona. Southwest—Although held to a scoreless tie by Baylor, Texas A. and | M. still tops the conference standings | with Southern Methodist yet to be heard from. 8. M. U. starts its con- ference drive against Texas, beaten by Rice, 7-0, last week. A.and M. meets | Arkansas, 19-7, victim of Louisiana Btate. Baylor plays Texas Christian, ‘whose intersectional struggle with Mis- sissippi State ended in a 0-0 score. Conference Race Tight. Som—lnumsm, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Alabama, Tulane and Vanderbilt all are unbeaten within the BSoutheastern Conference. Vanderbilt which surprised by hold- ing Georgia Tech to a scoreless tie runs into the powerful Louisiana outfit, and Alabama tackles Kentucky, hard- pressed to turn back Florida, 7-0. Georgia, which gave Auburn a tough fight before bowing, 20-13, meets Ten- nessee’s Volunteers, who engineered last week's biggest upset, a rousing 15- 13 conquest of Duke's previously un- conquered Blue Devils on a 70-yard runback of a punt by Tom Harp. Mis- sissippi State plays a weak Sewanee array, while Tulane, 21-7 conqueror of North Carolina’s Tarheels, who thus accepted their initial defeat, eases off with Louisiana Tech. £ Tech and Florida meet Southern Conference rivals, Clemson and Maryland, respectively. Maryland chalked up a 20-0 victory over Syra- cuse last week. The Southern Conference situation remained little changed. Duke, North Carolina and Washington and Lee are the only unbeaten teams within the conference. Six conference games this VERY Saturday night, lolling in | a hotel suite high above the tipsy old grads who explore Broadway to drown their sor- | row or celebrate a victory, foot ball’s | most illustrious coaches are wont to | gather and chew the fat. They cali | it Chick Meehan's bag-punching party because Chick is the host, in the | rooms donated by the hostelry, and | even if it was late when you got there | the other evening and Slip Madigan, Jimmy Crowley, Gus Dorais and most of the rest. had caught their trains | back home,-it was interesting. For instance, somebody was saying that Archie Roberts was New York University’s hero in the 7-7 draw with Georgetown and most everybody who saw the game nodded. Who is Archie Roberts? Well, a year ago he was freshman coach at N. Y. U, but Mal Stevens promoted him to head backfield coach this season and turned over the scouting to him. “And what a job of scouting Archis did,” said somebody. ‘“Georgetown's attack never got started. especially off those laterals of Hagerty's. N. Y. U. had its backs spread out too far to flip many of those. How about it, Archie?” Barabas Tipped That Pass. OBERTS, young as college coaches | go and looking more like a half- back out of uniform, grinned. “I should've picked up some dope on Georgetown,” said Archie. “I lived in Washington all Fall, it seemed. I got to know those Georgetown boys almost as well as you fellows who see them every day. Too bad that Keat- ing is slow-footed. Not that he isn't a great back now, but if he were faster they'd never bring him down. And smart! He’s as smart as they come. “This Tony Barabas was the guy I was most afraid of, though. There's a kid who's gonna be a great running back. He's faster than Keating and almost as hard to grab. As soon as he. learns to play defense against passes a little better he’ll be as good as anybody in that section. “Incidentally, he tipped that ball Shorten caught for our touchdown. He couldn’t quite knock it down, but he hit the pass with -his arm. Howinh'll Shorten . grabbed _it, I .dont know. “And, by the by, that placement kick Valiquette made for George- town’s extra point was tipped, too. One of our tackles stuck up his hand and made a low kick go high over the goal posts. -Another inch or so ' "POPPING! OFF Ytan.? Horning in on Mr. Meehan’s Party. and it would have been a blocked | kick and New York U. would have won, 7-6. But that's foot ball.” No Stopping Titan’s Farkus. | OMEBODY asked Meehan about | Detroit. A few hours before the | Titans walloped Chick’s Jaspers, 20\ to 0. | “I thought they were great,” said Chick. “I'm not alibing for my boy but I thought Detroit was a good & team as I've seen all season. Dog-| gone, they told us we had to watch | out for a great passer named Piper. | Then Dorais turns up and throws a | guy named Palumbo at us and he was as good a passer as I've seen. “Dorais is in a tough spot at De- troit,” said one of the newspaper men. “Only this afternoon he was saying the Big Ten Conference teams won't | play him because Detroit is too hard | to beat and. gecgraphically, he’s too | far away for many other ‘name’| teams.” “Did you see that back, Far- kus?” Meehan wanted to know. “He goes out in the first period and makes 38 yards in a 40- yard march by Detroit. Then he plunges 8 or 9 vards for the first touchdown after four of cur boys get a shot at him. “Dorais takes him out, later, and Farkus walks over to the bench, sits down with a goofy look in his eyes, and falls, face first, in a faint. | “Then, darn if they don’t send him | back and he scores the other two | touchdowns by catching passes, one | of them good for 53 yards.” Any More Like Leemans? INED IRISH was there, too. Ned| Irish is the tom-tom beater for | the pro New York Giants. ‘Before you bury that Detroit game, Chick,” he said, wasn't that a ‘screen pass’ that Dorais pulled in the last period? Detroit used it against Villanova and it worked for a touchdown, same as it did today. “It looked a little to me like a| ‘screen’,” Meehan said. “Detroit says | it isn't—that the linemen just stay down and let the other line sift through before the pass is thrown. But I thought it looked kinda screenish. Anyway, we'll see by the pictures next | & week.” The St. Mary’s publicity man came bustling in then to say good-by. He had been in New York a week, the newspaper man said, trying to expiain the 0-0 tie to which the Gaels were held by San Francisco the week before. He was nervous, fumbling for & cigarette as if he knew the question to be popped. He wasn't disappointed. “How db you explain the Fordham game (Rams, 7; Gaels, 6)?" they asked him. “Suppose we say,” said the Gael drum¥beater, “that the great team lost to the perfect team and let it go at that?"” Just before the meeting broke up Irish wanted to know if there were any more like Tuffy Leemans in Wash- ington. “Golly,” he said, “Leemans is Six in Row Won by Three Teams—Appalachian, With | By the Assoclated Press.

Take this here now Bo | McMillin, that coaches at Indiana. 1 could of told him to watch that Tippy | Dye of Ohio on those pass plays close to the goal line. A-marked man like Dye should never get away with no pass like that. Indiana should of got at least a tie in that one. Q. That's very interesting, Mr. Winch. So the result of the game sur- prised you? A. No, I'can’t say it did. T sort of expected this fella Dye to fool them Hoosiers with a pass like that. What surprised me was the way Minnesota only got 33 points off that Purdue club. Q. Really? But I thought that game was supposed to be close. A. Now, not if you figured it right.

Grid Card Skimpy. BY ROD THOMAS. T'S seldom that a blocker is hailed as a hero. Too often his danger- ous mission is passed over by the multitude shouting for the man with the ball. In the Georgetown-N. Y. U. game Larry Hardy, Hoya center, blocked a punt, captured the ball and ran 40 yards for a touchdown that gave Georgetown a 7-7 tie. But the score easily might have been 7-0 against the Blue and Gray but for Maury Nee, flankman. When Hardy started for the goal only one Violet had a chance to stop him, and he was on Hardy's heels, Nee set sail for the Violet. Nee Uses His Bean. ON THE bench Jack Hagerty, Georgetown coach, squirmed with apprehension. He feared the Violet would catch Hardy. He feared that Nee would hit the enemy from behind and bring to Georgetown not a touchdown, but a 15-yard penalty for clipping. Nee outraced the Violet and plucked him from the front. And Hardy breezed to glory, justly won, but Hagerty, on the trip home, singled out Maury Nee for a special pat. The Georgetown rooters, and they are | plentiful in New York. had given the | man with the pear his richly deserved applause. Georgetown, say the Washington scriveners who covered the game, played below form against N. Y. U, but form or no form, the Hoyas likely will have no trouble next Saturday. ‘Their opponent will be Shenandoah. This will be the only game played in Washington this week by a major team. George Washington will meet Rice Institute at Houston, Catholic University will take on Loyola of the South at New Orleans and Maryland is booked with Florida at Gainesvilie. G. W. and G. U. Carry On. CATHOLIC UNVERSITY'S defeat by Mississippi leaves the Capital with two unbeaten major teams, George Washington and Georgetown. Maryland lost to North Carolina. G. U. has been tied by New York U, and G.

A lot of stress has been placed on the weather conditions of the George ‘Washington-Mississippi contest—rain | is a leveler in foot ball—but it's a fact | that ram for the clash with Ole Miss was exactly what the Colonials did | not want. ;FRANK DOBSON is carrying on & Maryland tradition begun by Cur- ley Bryd—the Old Line team becomes | markedly tougher from game to game, | It used to be that Byrd started with | a green lot of players, many of whom | handled a foot ball for the first time upon entering colege, and before the season was out beat a school like Yale—which finally dropped the Terps from its schedule.

Dobson doubtless is hoping for ane other big day for Blair Smith and Vic Willis, flankmen who were poison to Syracuse. Smith and Willis broke up many of the Syracuse plays hardly | had they formed. It's a cinch that Maryland won't want for high-grade kicking against |the ’'Gators, not with either Jim' Meade or Bill Guckeyson in the linee up. This pair averaged 51 yards from the scrimmage line against Syracuse. Most of the foot ball reporters agree on Guckeyson as the best back now playing with any Washington team. Our own thought is that, in some re- spects, he’s the best we've had around these parts in many a season.
