Disappo BOBCATS PRESENT CHANGE TORECOUP. Foes Saturday Formidable. Terps and Hoyas Have Tasks on Hands. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. UMBLED from the top of Wash- ington’s gridiron heap to com- parative obscurity was the dis- comfiting sensation of Catholic DOniversity’s flying-not-so-high Cardi- pals within the last two weeks. While the rest of the parade marched on, Dutch Bergman's crew lagged back as, to the wonderment of all, it dropped | successive decisions in Dixie to Missis- | sippi and Loyola of the South, But today, back on home soil, the Cardinals found foot ball's wandering | spotlight ready to focus on them again. | From the hills of the State from which they inherit their name, West Vir-| ginia Wesleyan's Bobcats will invade Baturday, and nothwithstanding the | Cardinals’ change in fortune, they| might well discover themselves prime inting Cards in Spotlight : Ranking @ THE TIME 1S RIPE FOR THE LITTLE BATTLER TO STEP INSIDE THE PAVING RO Y'R Gugres of interest. There is a general curiosity as to the Cardinals’ failure to measure up to | expectations. Virtually all gridiron pritics assigned them the top spot #gain this season, recalling vividly | Catholic’s feats of 1935 and the Orange | Bowl victory carved out in Miami on | New Year day. There was power, speed | and deception in the Brookland out- fit. and none of 1t outwardly was lost. But somewhere there has been a leak, Indiscernible from the many hundreds of miles separating Mississippi and Louisiana At Brookland Bowl Satur- | gday the Cards might well find them- | selves under a figurative microscope. Wesleyan Team Surprises. ROBABLY the veriest Wesleyan | supporter has been surprised at $he feats of the Bobcats this season. A year ago, with virtually the same eleven representing the West Vir- ginians, the Cards won this game in stride. Today Wesleyan looms as an Beid test. As Catholic slipped, Wes- leyan surged ahead. It whipped Geneva and buried Davis-Elkins. It fost, 6-0, to a strong St. Vincent team, ®nd 15-0 to West Virginia. Then, springing possibly the most bizarre upset of the season, the Bob- sats caught Duquesne off stride and | won a 2-to-0 decision from a power | at only a week previous had estab- hed itself by overcoming Pittsburgh. Even in the face of Wesleyan's sur- rises, including a 14-to-7 win over | Waynesburg last week while five regu- fars were out of the line-up, a third straight setback hardly would set well at Catholic U. One thing for which &he Cards can be thankful is that for 8ll of their adversities they are full strength. As preparations were begun Soday for the Bobcat encounter they bad all plavers available, including Right Guard Dick Arnold, who was @njured in ' the Mississippi game. Arnold was forced to sit out the Loyola affair, but his ankle now is gompletely healed. Only one other college game is| glated here on Saturday. Back today | m Texas, where no glory was lost | dropping a 12-to-6 decision to Rice, | George Washington will entertain | PDavis-Elkins, but notwithstanding the superior record of the Colonials so far they hardly figure to over- phadow the Cards’ attraction. Davis- Elkins rates to be nothing more than 8 “breather” for a George Washington $eam reclimbing the heights. Guckeyson Not Shelved. NIVERSITY OF MARYAND today was getting over a scare that Bhreatened to plunge the Terrapins Into gloom. From Florida, where they pped a.,7-6 game to the 'Gators, faryland'’s squad limped shattered and red, and apparently the chief sufferer Wras Bill Guckeyson, spearhead of the ©ld Line offensive. At first it was Beared that Guckeyson, with a pulled @roin muscle, would be definitely out #f the game with Richmond Saturday, dut the good news at College Park to- day was that Bill, if necessary, would e ailable for part-time service against the Spiders in the Virginia bapital Saturday. Without Guckeyson the Terps would Pe a dubious sort of a team, particu- Brly with Jim Meade and Coleman eadley nursing bad knees and Blair mith, crack end, on the sidelines with Lcaup}e badly bruised ribs. So badly ttered is Maryland’s squad that dcrimmage for the regulars has been palled off for the rest of the year. Interesting figures were brought @ack from Florida bespeaking Guckey- #on’s value to the Old Liners. During $he 20 minutes he was in the game, be- fore being forced out by the muscle in- Bury, he ran 95 yards on 10 plays, passed to Vic Willis for 37 yards and intercepted a Florida pass when the ‘Gators were threatening. He gained 84 yards on Maryland’s touchdown :urch and his pass to Willis came uring the scoring drive. He plunged B yards for the Terps’ score. Hoyas' Path Is Thorny. EORGETOWN, like Maryland, to- D day was wrestling with appre- Rension. Bent on protecting its un- defeated record—the only unmarred slate in the Capital—the Hoyas ob- wiously will need their best efforts to pet by West Virginia on Saturday at Morgantown, Manhattan in Brooklyn pnd Maryland.

Br the Associated Press. HICAGO, November 3.—Things ( didn’t shape up this way a few weeks back—but today the Chicago Maroons are be- ing rated a chance to trip up Ohio State's erstwhile scarlet scourge next Saturday. The Maroons were badly beaten by Vanderbilt, tied Butler and were routed by Purdue while Ohio State defeated New York U., was beaten by Pitt, lost a thriller to Northwestern and defeated Indiana. Then last Sat- urday Chicago, doped to go down quickly before Wisconsin, whipped the Badgers, 7 to 6, while Ohio State was losing to Notre Dame. As a result, the teams are tied for fifth piace in the Western Confer- ence—and the once ill-regarded Ma- roons weren’t conceding the Buckeyes anything. In Sollie Sherman Chica- go has a fine sophomore back who averaged 6 yards from the scrimmage against the Badgers, and the Maroons, after a slow start, appear likely to give any team a hard tussle. Three of Buckeyes Il 'HE Buckeyes yesterday went through a light drill, studying a chart of Chicago plays. Tippy Dye, Joe Williams and Charles Hamrick were on the sick list. The Maroons had a signal workout indoors. At Michigan, Coach Harry Kipke sent his Wolverines through a signal drill and announced no scrimmage would be held all week. Michigan travels to Pennsylvania Saturday. In- diana’s varsity reported for a short practice in good condition, no players being seriously hurt against Iows, while Iowa reviewed mistakes made against Indiana and planned a defense for the expected charge of Minnesota's Gophers. An indoor skull session occupled Purdue, which faces Fordham Satur- day, and at Notre Dame the “Irish,” who played against Ohio State, were given a holiday. The remainder of the squad blocked and tackled indoors in preparation for Navy. Wisconsin Loses End. ISCONSIN suffered a blow in los- ing Fred Benz, regular left end, for the season, as the result of an injury in the Chicago game.

Peering Ahead. “‘ % Zwm-r chance” asks one of the sideliners, “have Northwestern, Marquette and Santa Clara to slip away from the noose and finish the season unbeaten and untied?” Suppose we take a look at the No- vember menu and see how things | stand, Here's what happens to be | left: Northwestern — Wisconsin, gan, Notre Dame. Marquette—Creighton, Duquesne. Santa Clara—St. Texas Christian, Northwestern's hardest game will be Notre Dame—her final stand. Any team that can bound back, as Notre Dame did after the Pittsburgh debacle, can’t be taken lightly. And -Notre Dame’s young team will be even better as the season advances. Mississippi will give Marquette some trouble, but Duquesne, an in-and-out team, may give even more on & Pittsburgh battlefield. This Marquette team is no flash in the pan. It has a strong, fast line and it has a fine set of backs in Ray Buivid and the Guepes. Buivid is & 195-pound back who can carry a foot ball and match any forward passer in the game today. He is strictly class. The Guepes are both fast and always dangerous. Santa Clara has three good games left. St. Mary's can't be as bad as it looked against Fordham and Marquette. You can't train on a train. St. Mary’s still has plenty in the way of power. And T. C. U. by a December date can be hard to handle. Mississippi, Mary’s, Loyola, doesn’t mean that Northwest- ern, Marquette and Santa Clara are the three best football teams in the country. They are not. No one could rank them in all around ability over Minnesota, Nebraska, Washing- ton or L. S. U, Here still are four of the strongest teams we have, although three have been beaten and the other tied. To remain untied and unbeaten is a fine performance, but it isn’t the entire story by more jumps than & kangaroo can take. Minnesota, Nebrasks, Wash- ington or L. S. U. would be at least an even bet today against any team you can pick. How About Fordham? FORDHAII up to this point has shown the finest defense of the year. The Ram has kept such teams as 8. M. U,, St. Mary’s and Pittsburgh from crossing his goal line. And Michi- | these three teams can al handle their share of the scoring. They can | pass, run and kick. On the other hand, Fordham’s of- fense has been light. It has scored only two touchdowns in three big games, and one of these came from intercepting a forward pass. Ford- ham remains & hard team for any- one to beat. We'll get the final an- swer this week against Purdue. Noble Kiser's outfit has a real attack, one that bothered Minnesota for the first two periods. In Drake and Isbell, Purdue has two of the season's best backs. If Fordham can duck by this Purdue test, the Ram will be well on his way. At least there are no pres- ent signs that Georgia and N. Y. U. will furnish any great amount of trouble. If L. S. U. and S. M. U. can win the remaining games on their schedules they must be planted around the top. Both have harder furrows ahead than any team I have mentioned so far. They have almost no breathing spots. And both have foot ball teams that belong. I tried to get Bernie Bierman to name the best team he had faced this year. Bierman wasn't quite willing to make any set statement. But his hints were strong enough and you could see that, it he had to play any game over, he would rather leave Nebraska out. I would say that Minnesota’s coach figures Nebraska the best all-around team he has met, after hearing him discuss Washington, Nebraska and Northwestern. That at least was the hunch I drew. I don't think Bier- man would be far wrong if he made this selection. We'll also know more about that after Pittsburgh has moved into Lincoln next week. Nebraska has the line and the backs. You can't name two better backs on one team than Francis and Cardwell—no mat- ter where you happen to look. This season’s campaign can't be Judged upon the basis of the unbeaten and untied teams that might survive. Not entirely, at least. Schedules and all-around playing strength also must be considered. All of which will make the debate even louder than usual when the summing up starts. (Copyright. 1936, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) HAS NAVY GAME TICKETS.

EW YORK, November 3.— ‘There’ll be a respite Saturday for the foot ball teams that have been selected by sports writers and editors as the week’s best. Except in one contest, they don’t come to grips with one another, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they face | “set-ups.” ‘The werkly Associated Press poll puts Northwestern’s Wildcats, upset victors over Minnesota, at the head of the pigskin parade for the week. They got there only after a voting battle al- most as keen as the one they played against the previous pace-setter at Evanston. The final count, on & 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis, with 43 ex- perts voting, gave Northwestern 412 points and Minnesota 371.

PURDUE MARVELS BUCK FINEST LINE Great Duel Due as Isbell, | Drake, Star Ball Toters, Run Into Ram Wall. BY the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 3.— Purdue’s “touchdown twins,” rated by many as the greatest pigskin toters in college foot | ball, will get their most trying test Saturday when the Boilermakers run up against Fordham's seven-granite- pillar line. ‘When Purdue toppled Fordham from the ranks of the undefeated by & convincing 20 to 0 margin last Fall. Cecil Isbell and John Drake were on the bench. 1 They have been setting a ground- gaining pace that has left most of the other Middlewestern backs in the ruck this Fall. Isbell, a swivel- hipped junior with a baffing change of pace, has carried the ball from scrimmage 31 times for a total gain of 487 yards, an average of 912 a crack. Drake has cracked through opposing lines 44 times for 328 yards, an average of 745 a thrust. 40, vs. Drake Great Against Gophers. IN THE Minnesota game alone Drake carried the leather 12 times for 98 yards on running plays, as much as the entire Washington backfeld was able to gain against the Gophers and more than Michigan was able to gain against Bernie Bierman's forces on both running plays and passes. The Boilermaker backs have been picking up plenty points as well as yardage. Isbell has accounted for six touchdowns and has added eight points after touchdown via the place-kick route for a total of 44 points. Drake is credited with four touchdowns in Big Ten games, Both have figured prominently in the Bollermaker aerial and lateral at- tack. Defensively they are the an- swers to a coach’s prayer.

When you think of George Washington you think of & rolling of drums, a blare of trumpets, a sky full of fireworks and blatant publicity. But often- times Pixlee works quietly and, presto, he pops up with something unheralded « s Or somebody like Kaufman. He never seems to get too much praise from local fans for his coaching ability, this Pixlee, but every time one of his great backs graduates and everybody starts mourning for the G. W.'s, be comes up with adequate shoe-fillers. He always seems to have one great back. AFFLING sort of a fellow, Jim Pixlee. All the stories from | what is regarded by many as the real test of a pitcher—ability to win from first-division clubs. You agreed on | Pietro's value to the Nationals etc., | but somehow it never occurred that | Appleton was the only Washington pitcher who won more games from first-division teams than he lost. According to Edwards’ tabu- lations, Pete won 6 out of 10 games. He beat the Yanks twice and lost once, took four out of five from the Tigers and missed compiling a truly great record by dropping three out of three to the White Sox. De Shong won only 4 out of 11 games from first-division clubs, while Newsom took only 4 of 13 from the Yanks, Chisox and Tigers. Of the 17 games Buck won, 10 were grabbed from the A’s and Browns. Hmmm. The Yanks, naturally, produced the most pitchers who won against first-division teams. They had six, with Pearson taking six of eight, Had- ley seven of eight and Malone five of six to top the sextet. Appleton was Johnny Fenlon was the first of the | line. He could pass and kick, and nobody at Georgetown of Maryland | or Catholic University could tote the | ball any better, not even Tommy | ‘Whalen or Shorty Chalmers. Then, the season after Fenlon | bowed out, Pixlee uncovered Leemans. | one of half a dozen others produced by the other seven clubs in the league.

They think of nothing but winning games, for- | getting that the foremost purpose of | college is getting an education * * *.* He likened it to a Franken- stein monster which was out- grown itself, and declared that at the present premium upon victory, a radical development is due within the next decade. He found both supporters and dissenters. It was worth thinking about, re- gardless of which way you thought. College officials often admit the game is overpublicized, and on the same | day they air this view the school's | press agent will drop into a newse | paper office, whip out a column of publicity and a picture he would like run three columns, and wonder to himself when the sheet is going to start giving him a break. Foot ball may be overplayed in the | papers, but it has reader interest that fluctuates as the colleges them- selves range the scale of emphasis to lde-emphnsm on the gridiron. And most of them try to hit the peak.
