THE notion that, in order to be first rate, a foot ball team must be undefeated is a hangover from the tdays when people went to the games In tally-hos. In those days a big university played six or seven games with popovers, wound up its schedule by trampling on its traditional rival— and pointed with pride to an un- breaten season. Foot ball has changed & lot since then. But, curiously enough, the old grads and the public still clamor for an unbeaten team—and want to burn the coach in effigy if he loses a game o. two along the way. Schedules in this era of high-pow- ered foot ball are loaded with dyna- mite—or TNT. Look at what has happened to some of the outstanding teams already. Minnesota knocked off by Nebraska. Ohio State flat- | tened by Southern California. Wash- ington beaten by Oregon State. Arkansas thrown for a loss by Baylor. Colgate and Princeton both crowded off the unbeaten list by Cornell. Co- lumbia headed off by Army. Notre Dame held to a scoreless tie by Illi- nois. Duke locked in a scorless tie by Tennessee. All this wreckage piled up around some of the country's leading teams while the echoes of the world series still linger in the air. And just ahead of these teams lie games as tough as those in which they | were beaten—in some cases tougher. Notre Dame, for instance, rushes on | to meet Carnegie Tech, Navy, Minne- sota, Pitt, Army, Northwestern and Southern California. Onhio State tangles with Northwest- ern today—and follows with Chicago, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. ‘Washington moves up and down the coast, playing Washington State, Stanford, Idaho, U. C. L. A. and Oregon. And so on. | What Are the Odds? R TAKE Pitt's schedule. This is rated as one of the great Pitt teams—three deep 'in every position. Hughie Devore, Fordham scout. who has been looking at Pitt teams for #even years, says he never saw a bet- ter one than this. | He says that Jock Sutherland has | three teams that he can run in, one right after the other, with no differ- ence, so far as the opposing team can tell, except that maybe one team is a little better than the others because it has Daddio at one end. However, | Jock usually keeps Daddio in for 60 minutes, ‘which is practically no help to the enemy. Well, what are the odds that this team will go through the season un- beaten? Pitt is headed for the Rose Bowl again if it sweeps its slate clean—but between the Panthers.and the Rose Bowl lie Fordham, Wiscon- &in, Carnegie Tech, Notre Dame, Ne- braska, Penn State and Duke. And Pitt just came through a bruising game with its backyard foe, Duquesne, which it barely managed to beat, 6 to 0, on a muddy field.

Grid Forecaster in Mean Fix Should These Rhyming Picks Prove Worse Than His Verse BY JOHN LARDNER. EW YORK, October 16—Un- known to many of his ad- mirers, the poet Shelley picked Rutgers to beat Yale in 1872. He was absolutely wrong. Ever since then, in deference to the master, we poets have been wrong about foot ball games, but we go right on pick- ing ‘em. Penn against your shirt it'll Be a close one, very close; still, a win for Little. It was Lord Byron, I believe, who came out flatfooted (the great poet always had trouble with his arches, which is none of your business or | mine) with the statement that Purdue | Columbia—bet. bled that one badly. Michigan won the game hands down, and Yost never spoke to Byron again, though he chased him clear around the world in an effort to do so. Special tip frqm Pittsburgh On the second race Notre Dame to win the game, Carnegie to place. Nowadays picking foot ball games is a highly specialized business. Either you know what you are doing or you don't know. There is no middle course. Pick one method or the other and stick to it. Once more the special red-hot tip, men: Harvard wins from those rough Midshipmen. Unselfish Viewpoint. TOWARD the close of his life, Dan- iel Webster said that it made no tion’s songs or picked her foot ball winners so long as he could be Presi- dent. This is the unselfish viewpoint that all of us prognosticators strive for. I do not wish to cast a slur Upon the busy, teeming brain Of Herr Professor Andrew Kerr, But anyway I pick Tulane. Milton used to point out that the best rhyme scheme for a foot ball pre- diction was A-B-B-C-C-A, with the ends spread wide and the tackles con- verging behind the line of scrimmage. Like this: Down in the cornfield, Hear dat mournful soun’. Dartmouth’s scalping Tuss Mc= Laughrey, Brown is in the col’, col’ groun’. The truth is that Milton never picked a winner in his life. The blind bard, they called him. Keep this under your perruge: Georgia Tech will lose to Duke. The Middle West is easy picking ground this week. It's hard to see how any one could go wrong on these, for instance: Ten to seven (any takers?) The Wildcats lick the Boiler- makers. Picking ties is your agent's dish: A stand-off—Minnesota-Mich. This is a tough one, but why be coy? The Hoosiers over Illinois.

TILLWATER, Minn., October 16.—Big-time foot ball—via radio and wall chart—en- listed Minnesota’s prison population among its followers to- day for the first time. ‘The Minnesota-Michigan game launched the foot ball program for all of the 1415 prisoners who were not being disciplined for infraction of rules. Acting Warden Leo Utecht said accounts of all major Gopher games will be brought to the con- victs this Fall under a ‘“reform” program he instituted at the peni- teniary. A chart showing the posi- tion of the ball on the playing field supplemented the broadcast. Utecht's predecessor, John sJ. Sullivan, who died a few months 2go, never permitted radio broad- casts within prison walls. 8o for & number of prisoners who have served terms that began long be- fore radio became commonplace in the home, today's foot ball broad- cast was a unique experience “I can hardly believe it,” said Blue, with a bewildered look on his face. “It's beautiful—it’s won- derful. Oh, oh, if only I could have one of those things in my cell—I would give even my life savings. It would make my re- maining days in prison happy.” Blue is 62 years old. Utecht, explaining his change in | prison regulation, said: “They are human beings, and good or bad, are entitled to a little amusement of this kind as long as it does not interfere with our rules of disci- pline.” | Pos.

FOURD..TEAWS FACE TOUGH OMG Hoyas Battle Lafayette in| Biggest Puzzler—Terps Play Cavaliers. UESTION marks faced each of the four District college elevens in action this after- noon with the biggest query of all the only one due to be answered on a local gridiron. Not since the season opened have coaches and supporters been as puz- zled over their favorite teams’ chances | as they were today before riddled Georgetown entertained Lafayette at | | Grifith Stadium, a possibly Meade- | less Maryland faced Virginia at Char- | lottesville, an uncertain American U. tackled Mount St. Mary's at Emmits- burg and a questionable Wilson Teach- ers’ College invaded Bridgewater. All had chances of winning, yet| there was just as much likelihood of the issues going against them—and by one-sided scores. Georgetown's showing against La- fayette in the game scheduled to start here at 2:30 o'clock merited special attention with a necessarily revamped Hilltop back field, formed within the past few days, providing the interest. Joe Keegin, Tony Barabas and Myron Darmohray were the Hoyas called upon by Coach Jack Hagerty to take over the vacancies left by injuries to Bob Nolan, Tommy Keating and Elmer Noulin, but only Darmohray was with- out previous varsity experience. Hoya Line Remains Intact. (EEGIN and Barabas saw & little action last year and were to hold down the two halfback positions. Bill Valiquette, erstwhile fullback, was to take Nolan's place at quarterback and Darmohray, a promising sophomore, was to start at fullback. Georgetown's line, its greatest asset, remained the same, but it was slated to receive a severe test with Lafayette re- putedly bringing a fast quartet of ball carriers. G. U. was to pay special at- tention to Tommy Kearns, whose punt- ing kept Gettysburg outside Lafayette's 45-yard line last week. Down at Charlottesville, an ever- dangerous (to Maryland) Virginia eleven eagerly awaited the Terps scrap. Beaten by Princeton and Navy, the Cavaliers nevertheless got satisfaction by holding the latter on practically even terms until the fourth quarter and are alming at greater gratifica- tion by whipping their old interstate rival today. Jumbo Jim Meade was to play if he so desired, that is, Coach Frank Dob- son was to let the boy exercise his own will. Meade's mother died suddenly during the week and the Jumbo re- turned to school on Thursday. Weir~ inger, Hewitt, Mondorfl and Boyda were named as Maryland's starting backfleld, however. Eagles Weakened. SmL unbeaten, the most advanced stage of the season at which any American U. eleven retained that status, the Eagles’ perfect record was seriously threatened in its first out-of- town game by Mount St. Mary's. It would have been, even with A. U. in- tact, but injuries to three regulars have left the Eagles severely handicapped. Johnny Jablonski and Sam Hickey had loomed as integral parts of a like- ly-looking backfield, but both were to be on the bench today. In their places, Coach Welch has installed Mervin Harris and Bugs Hanawalt, the latter a converted guard. George Brown, first-string end, also is out with an in- jured leg, Don Davido thereby earn- ing a starting assignment. Wilson Teachers provided Bridge- water with its third District opponent in as many weeks, the Virginians hav- ing broken even in their two previ- ous games. They lost to American, 13-0, but trounced Gallaudet last Sat- urday, 19-6. Wilson tied Bridgewater last year and will be seeking amends for that 42-0 trouncing handed them by Kutztown Teachers a week ago. One cclored collegiate game also was listed for a local fleld, Howard meet- ing Virginia State in the Howard Sta- SOUTHERN GAMES ATIRAGT 75,000 Duké-Georgia Tech Battle Features—Terp-Virginia Tilt Draws 6,000.

The Blue Devils never have managed heretofore to down Tech in its own back lot. Terps, Cavaliers Draw 6,000, SECOND heaviest drawing card was expected to be the North Carolina State-Virginia Tech clash at Raleigh tonight. Officials were ready to han- ble a crowd of 8.000 to 10,000, which will watch the twenty-second renewal of & rivalry dating back to 1900. State won last year Six thousand were expected for Maryland's setto with Virginia in the Cavalier's first major home game of the year at Charlottesville, and the V. M. IL-Richmond clash, another Old Dominion headliner at Richmond drew upward of 8,000. Other engagements sure of attract- ing 5,000 or more included North Car- olina at Wake Forest, Davidson at South Carolina, Furman at The Cit- tucky. William and Mary entertained Guilford at Williamsburg. Clemson has an open date this week. FROSH GRID DEFEAT NO BLOW TO TERPS Precedent Shows Loss to Hoya Cubs Means Win by Varsity Over Georgetown. {OOT BALL supporters of the Uni- versity of Maryland today were re- joicing over a defeat—of their fresh- man team by Georgetown's freshman eleven. It came about yesterday at Griffith Stadium when the Hoya year- lings won, 12-0. The reason for the strange reaction is that each year since G. U. and Mary- land resumed athletic relations, the annual varsity foot ball game has been won by the school losing the fresh- man game. Jimmy Castiglia, apparently des- tined to become a great Georgetown back within the next few years, led the way to victory and he scored one of the touchdowns. McNichols scored the first in the second quarter when he raced 50 yards on a reverse play.

SOMEHOW you find yourself rooting for Holy Cross to whip Georgia. Because Georgetown was licked by | the Crusaders last week the blast was put on Jack Hagerty. The Hoyas, with veterans back, were supposed to ' have a fine year. They started well enough and then ran into Holy Cross. | A back named Osmanski, who prob- ably is as good as any in the country, | smashed the Georgetown line and |led the Northerners to a smashing victory. The howl for Hagerty's job went up and grew in volume when a George- | town back sustained a broken leg in scrimmage with the professional Red- skins. It was suggested that not only was Hagerty something less than bril- liant as a coach but that he could not exercise good judgment in working out his players. The charges against prac- ticing with the Redskins are too ridiculous to attack. They died a natural death shortly after birth, anyway. But why should Georgetown have beaten Holy Cross? A year ago Holy Cross came close to being one of the recognized great teams in the country. The Crusaders | even had Rose Bowl hopes for a while. | And nothing happened from Novem- ber of 1936 to October of 1937 to create the impression that Holy Cross would be any weaker. Dobson Admires Hoyas. | You were talking the otner day to| Frank Dobson, the Maryland | coach, and the subject got around to | the burning they have been trying to give Hagerty. “I've been in this coaching business for nearly 30 years now,” said Dobson, “and I've never seen a finer coach than Hagerty. He knows foot ball and he knows boys.” “Yes,” agreed Roy Mackert, one of Dobson’s assistants, “and if they let him alone at the Hilltop he'll put Georgetown foot ball back on its feet in a healthy, sane way.” “How about drilling with the Redskins?” somebody asked Dobson. “Why, that's perfectly all right. To my way of thinking there is even less | danger in scrimmaging with the Red- #kins than in working against college boys. The pros play good, clean foot ball. They are in the business and they know far more about making a good tackle or a perfect block than the average college player. I see where Georgetown is going to con- tinue to practice against the Redskins. 1 admire that kind of spirit.” 194 and 57 yards.

AST NIGHT at the Catholic Uni- versity-Detroit game the harsher critics of Georgetown's method of drill- ing with the pros were given a jolt. The Redskins were on hand, almost en masse. And mingling with such as big Turk Edwards, sopping up the wisdom of those who played for glory and who now play for the funds for it, were some of the Hoyas. Little Tommy Keating, who was supposed to have sustained a broken rib in the scrimmage with the Redskins, was one of them. The Redskins were talking of De- of Andy Far- kas, the young Hungarian gent who stepped off touchdown runs of 80, ‘Washington won't see many better ball carriers this year than Farkas. “I understand,” somebody said, “that Farkas is studying for the priesthood. Detroit lost its best end this year because he couldnt wait to graduate before taking his orders for the priest- hood. Farkas is going to finish and then start.” “Well,” said Edwards, “that will cost pro foot ball a great back. He's got it, that fellow.” “He's got pretty good interference, too,” another bystander added. “Did you see the way those guys formed around him on a couple of those runs?” “Yes,” said Edwards, “but Farkas has a knack of being able to cut back that is precious. Unless a ball carrier can do that his interference for the rest of a long run is wasted. Farkas does that better than any college back I've seen so far this year.” .

'O OPEN the second period Dorais inserted a new and complete team. There still is some doubt in the minds-of Detroit newspaper men as to which team is better. That gives some idea of what Catholic’s tiring warriors were up against whenever a fresh outfit took the field. ‘The new and sophomore-studded Titan team marched and passed from | Catholic's 49, early in the period. to within three and one-half yards of the Card goal. There End George Petersmarck dropped a pass in the end zone, standing alone, and the Cards took the ball on downs on the 20. It was a mighty effort the Brook- landers made and Dorais was over- looking no bets. He sent Detroit's first team back into action and Dutch Bergman of Catholic countered as best he could with new ends and tackles. For a few moments the Cards threatened to stage a march but it was obvious they were feeling the pace of having to play two fresh teams alternately. Toward the end of the half Parkas struck. Detroit took a Catholic punt | on its own 12. The Titans plowed for 9 yards. Then Farkas hit tackle, shook off the C. U. secondary and raced 80 vards for a touchdown. The half ended with Detroit ahead, 10-0. No Disgrace to Beating. FARKAS opened the second half by grabbing the kick-off and running 94 yards for his second touch- down. Before the third period was ended Ed Palumbo had passed to Larson for a touchdown. In the final period Farkas broke loose again and, behind fine interference, cut back off & tackle plunge and raced 57 yards s | for the final score. From a Catholic U. angle there seemed to be no disgrace attached to the defeat. With a score piling up against them, the Cards spiritedly staged a third-period march from their own 46 to Detroit's 15. In the final period they again engineered a | march, although it was not so long and so positive. It was simply battling superior forces. Thus, after three successive vice tories, Catholic bowed out as an un- defeated and untied team. In retrospect, the Cards did not figure to win. Detroit whipped Texas Tech a week ago, 34 to 0, to give the tip- off on the Titans. Now, with four straight wins, they are headed for Boston College, Manhattan, Villanova and a couple other foes of similar class. Catholic isn't likely to meet & sterner enemy the rest of the season. \MARK FOR OWENS ASKED INDIANAPOLIS, October 18 (#).— Paul R.
