A—14 UPSET OF GOPHERS LKELYTOTOP Big Red Fans Hark Back to | Kaw-Pfann Days—Hoyas’ Foe Is Warned. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, October 4.—Standing out in bold relief today after a “black Saturday” of frenzied foot ball that left the experts groggy were the all but incredible performances of Nebraska's Cornhuskers and Cor- nell's big red stalwarts It is doubtful if the current sea- eon will witness any upset to com- pare with Nebraska's astonishing 14- 9 conquest of Minnesota Hailed in some quarters as unbeat- able, the Gophers overcame an early Cornhusker lead on Dwight Reed's field goal from the 23-yard line early in the fourth quarter, but the aroused Nebraskans smashed right back to score the winning touchdown on Harris Andrews' bullet pass to Bill Callahan, It was & triumph for hard-bitten line and her alert who took full backs advantage of Minne- sota’s mistakes. It was a triumph, too, for Lawrence (Biff) Jones, new head coach of the Cornhuskers, As for Cornell, veteran foot ball reporters had to hark back to the Kaw-Pfann days for comparisons after watching the Ithacans shell Colgate into submission, 40-7. This was supposed to be one of Andy Kerr's best Colgate teams but it sim- ply was overwhelmed by the hard- charging Cornell line and bewildered by the ball-carrying and p operations of Brud Holland, big end, who scored three touchdowns; George Peck, best of the Big Red's| Baker, | running backs. and Whit sophomore passing find.

AR from displeased by the man- ner in which his Redskins de- feated the Brooklyn Dodgers, | vesterday to claim a one- | third share in the leadership of the Eastern division of the National Foot Ball League, Coach Ray Flaherty still | was fuming today over actions which, | he says, were tantamount to a twelfth player in the Dodger line-up | laherty pointed the finger of cen- | sure at George (Potsy) Clarke, veteran | coach, with the Brooklyns for the | first time this vear, who was the ob- | iect of wholesale rage in the Redskin | dressing room after the game “He called every one of their plays from the bench,” Flaherty said. *“Hell, he might j as well have been in there as quarterback. He spotted our defensive formations and instructed | Ed Goddard (the Brooklyn signal- | mes as many time-outs as the rules allow. In addition to con- | ventional ‘rest’ periods, it's a time- out every time a substitute enters the | zame, and Potsy sent in plenty for no | other reason than to give his men | more time. It should have resulted in 5-yard penalties every time each half | aft they had taken their allotted three time-outs, but the officials | missed most of them. Clarke's an | old hand at that sort of thing, but | I'm surprised he still gets away ! with it.” Own Fumble Aids Dodgers. NE\'ERTHELESS. Fiaherty and 16,- 283 paying fans found much to enthuse about Brooklyn’s only touchdown probably never would have been scored had not ‘nnfl of the Dodgers unintentionally set | the stage by fumbling. When “Father" Lumpkin, & far cry from the terror | who used to roam the gridiron for Georgia Tech in the late 20s, fumbled | Riley Smith's fourth-quarter punt in | | midfield, the ball slithered away into Ithe arms of Vannie Albanese who | | slipped nearly 40 yards down the side- lines to the Redskins' 9-yard line. ‘me that point, Goddard passed to | | Jefl Barrett over the goal line. | only once before had the Dodgers ‘h("‘x\ in possession of the ball in Red- skin territorr, shortly before in the| same period having received a punt on the Redskins' 42. On the other hand Washington was in alien terr- | itory almost throughout the game and | that the Redskins did not score oftener was due perhaps to the rain- soaked ball. Twice before he finally booted one from the 36-yard line in the third quarter Riley Smith had at- temped field goals from distances nearer the uprights, but each time his aim was handicapped by the rain. Baugh and Millner Team, ASHINGTON'S touchdown was | typical of the team's offense, with Sammy Baugh passing and Flankman Wayne Millner receiving. It was a well-aimed 11-yard toss from Baugh, but just as nice an effort by Millner, who took it on the 15-vard line and broke away from three Dodgers to tally. For the winners’ final two points Capt. Turk Edwards blocked Reno Nori's kick from behind the Dodger goal line, and End Bob McChesney (See REDSKINS, Page A-16). Stars Saturday By the Associated Press.

ARYLAND misses Guckeyson. but not particularly as a ball carrier. C. U. isa little weak in one of its pet departments, handling the ball. Georgetown's gridders may have been built up in the papers too much for their own good. The coaching staff of George Wash- ington is blue with the thought of all the buffing it must do to make the Colonial machine shine up to promise, It's & remarkably dull picture of Washington's collegeate big four con- sidering that Maryland made a whale of an underdog fight in losing to Penn, 28-21; Georgetown defeated Shenandoah, 38-0; C. U. trimmed its conqueror of last vear, Lovola, 14-0, and G. W. kicked the tar out of its harassing foe of the last three years, ‘Wake Forest, 34-6 But such are many who saw the observations of the games of the last week-end involving Washington | schools. Bill Guckeyson transported the mail with such dispatch for the Terrapins that his defensive value almost was lost to sight. It was recalled suddenly by Mahyland's coaches Saturday when Penn's Bob Schuenemann got loose on passes for two long touchdown sprints, “I'd stake my wad.” said a Mary- land man today, “that would have prevented both scores.” those Meade Is Impressive, }{OW‘E\'ER. we have a notion big Jim Meade will dull the memory of the great Guckeyson befors this season is finished. Some of the news- paper accounts of the Penn game termed the Terrapin halfback the best man on the field. Coach Bergman of C. U. grumbled today over the Cardinals’ offense. Dutch’s teams as a rule excell in handiing the leather, but against Loyola, the Redbird attack was slowed by inefficiency in this detail. “Our backs,” said Bergman, “will get a lot of work this week.” The Cardinals’ defense against Loyola and the week prior against Canisius was almost superb, each of | | the C. U. enemies acoring only three first downs. " Some of Georgetown's supporters had duck fits when their team scored only six points against Shenandoah in | the first half. Touted as possibly one of the Hilltop's great teams, the Hoyas of '37 disdained the Shenandoahs, it appeared, and opened their season in & manner not altogether pleasing to some of their well wishers, despite that 39-0 score, Their down field blocking was poor, the running linemen were slow, there were t0o0 many promiscuous laterals and & number of passes were knocked down which might as well have been intercepted. The potential strength of the Blue and Gray showed in the second half, but the game as a whole left Coach Hagerty with few compli- ments to dish out. Incidentally, the tackling was okay. Colonials Need Co-ordination. EORGE WASHINGTON is con- cerned mostly with co-ordinating its resources. There's a heap of talent in the Colonial squad and it shone forth in individual efforts against Wake Forest. We liked particularly the pigskin toting of little Vic Samp- son, the defense play of Fullback Jay Turner and the tackling and aggres- siveness of Flankman Pete Yurwitz. The Colonials need a fairly stiff game to smooth rough edges and prob- ably will get it next Priday night at Griffith Stadium from West Virginia Wesleyan. The Bobcats have lost to ‘West Virginia and Duquesne, but are strong enough, according to G. W. scouts, to make the Colonials hustle, With an open date next week, G. W. must use the West Virginia Wes- leyan game, in & measure, to prepare for its clash week after next with Alabama. ‘The only other game to be played here this week involving a “Big Four” team is that between Maryland and Western Maryland Saturday at Col- lege Park. Last year the Green Ter- rors beat the Terps, 12-0, and are back with a squad including 10 seniors and 16 juniors. The Terrors encoun- tered an unexpected power house in Marshall College and lost, 21-0, but will be prepared to a fare-ye-well when they oppose the Old Liners. Crusaders to Test Hoyas. GEORG!.'I‘OWN will meet its first Teal test of the campaign Satur- day in a battle with Holy Cross at Worcester. And from there on life will be one tough scrap after another for the Hoyas. C.

That game, incidental will give | the Eagles an opportunity to enhance their standing at the top of the Chesa- peake Conference, for it appears as if | | the Johnnies may be weaker than usual.

BY BURTON HAWKINS, NLESS scholastic coaches sud- denly reveal a Houdini touch, | | the poorest interhigh achool | foot ball ecampaign in recent years will be launched tomorrow, with | only a smattering of talented per- | formers sprinkled among the six out- fits represented. The composite record of clubs in-| | volved shows nine games played to | date and not a victory for interhigh | | competitors. Their collective punch couldn’t fracture a mosquito’s leg. These teams, Tech, Central, Eastern, | Western, Roosevelt and Wilson, have compiled the amazing total of 18 points in those nine games. The | opposition, meanwhfle, has scored 167 points, which should give you some | idea. Central has been the chief offender, losing three games, Tech two, with the others dropping their | respective openers. Only Three Star Vets Left. ’I‘mfl has Jack Belote, Oentral has Charley Jones and Eastern has Al Kidwell. You can take the re- | mainder, choose up sides and still have a net result of zero from the | standpoint of ability. The situation distinctly is discouraging to coaches and scholastic followers, but the cham- pionship chase itself may be keen be- cause they're all feeble. Of the lot, Tech perhaps is the best. The defending champions have Belote, a crack ball toter, punter and passer, & fair forward wall and enough ordinary backs to rank as favorites despite the loss of Johnny Williamson, a talented broken fleld runner who largely was responsible for Tech's po- sition at the top of the heap last season. Johnny is the first victim of the new age limit that dictates no athlete is eligible for interhigh com- petition after reaching 20 years of age. Central Squad Chubby. TECH. for the first time in 14 years, isn't under the direction of Hap Hardell, who molded championship teams monotonously during his reign. Hap and Principal Frank Daniel fussed & bit over Tech's foot ball policy, with the result that Hardell resigned and Rusty Thompson, basket ball and base ball coach, assumed command. Rusty has instilled spirit into his squad, which was on the wrong end of a 6-0 score against Maury High of Norfolk in its first tilt and on the feeble side yesterday in losing to Episcopal, 18-0. Central, which opens the series with Eastern at Eastern Stadium tomorrow, has a nice crop of fat fellows who move slowly and think the same way. Center Charley Jones has been about 70 per cent of ‘Central's defensive strength, although the punts of Bobby Goldsworthy have been, and no doubt will continue to be, a factor in holding scores to respectable bounds. Hugh Cramer, 220-pound all-high tackle, will be confined to the side- (See HAWKINS, Page A-16.) Varsity Foot Ball College of Puget Sound, 18; Col- lege of Idaho, 0. MONDAY.

HE Redskins didn't give the angle a thought and after the game they | were concentrating on nothing less routine than peeling off the strips of adhesive tape that were wound around their ankles and hairy legs Mr. George P.

Coach Flaherty beckoned to Fullback Don Irwin and sent him on the field. ‘; And Dixie Howell came out | Howell did not throw one pass, which is the mode of attack for which he is famous, He plaved safety on defense and the Redskins never had possession of the ball while he was in the game He did not leave his feet nor touch | the ball during his term in the game | and when he was vanked the crowd did not rise to its feet in a dramatic ovation but, on the contrary, mut- tered “What th' hell?” Cynics Count It As Evidence. HAT was Mr, Howell's plunge into | professional foot ball and to a| conscientious group of cynics in town that was just fine with them. For a week, you know, some people with | supposedly Inside information had | been saying that not only will Howell | make one of the briefest appearances of all time, but that doctors have given | him up ss a foot ball player. The tip was out that one of How- ell's knees is hopelessly inadequate for foot ball and that he could not even stand up for half an hour with- out having the joint swell painfully and weirdly. Those who sponsored the re- port smugly regarded the in- stance as positive evidence of their findings. ‘The defense has accepted the chal- lenges with alacrity and indignation, but the germ of doubt now has been planted and until Mr. Howell begins to throw passes and run with that ball a few words of suspicion will be pointed at Mr. Marshall and the Red- skins' manner of advertising. Flaherty Debunks Whispers. R. FLAHERTY felt honor-bound to show off Howell. Besides, the mob was yelling and there were notes of viciousness in the cry. It was far better to stick Howell in the game for a few unimportant moments than to face the possibility of velling, “Hey, Rube.” But Coach Flaherty vigorously de- nies that Howell's grid days are at an end. “Here's the real lowdown,” ex- plained Flaherty. “He was spiked while playing ball in the Southern Association. The wound became in- fected. “He had to spend two weeks in a hospital and, naturally, his knee was weak. “Howell has been trying to build up strength in it and just wasn't ready this week. The doctors have done fine' work and I didn't want to run the risk of undoing all they had done. If he had been hit hard on the knee, Dixie would have been knocked out for the year. “But definitely,” concluded Flaherty, “there is nothing to that talk of Howell's being kept only for his foot ball name. Haven't we enough names without Dixie's?"” Baugh Still Throws Strikes. | league ia { Ssammy Baugh. They got a field goal | and | build-up, and the steady R.

When and if Dixie begins to play it will be found that he cannot run as well as Irwin or Battles, cannot block like Riley Smith or Pinchert, and cannot kick like Baugh or pass any better.
