Race for Mythical National Football Title Still Is Wide " FEW SHFTS LooM INTOPGRIDGROUP Sectional Leaders Appear Likely Choices in Their Tests This Week. By HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, Nov. 1.—Heading inlo the November stretch, 16 major football teams still have eluded defeat, but the race for the mythical national championship as well as for the very real Bowl game nominations still is wide open. California’s Golden Bears look a safe odds-on bet to represent the far West in the Rose Bowl classic at Pasadena on New Year Day, but the fleld of eligible opponem.s is large enough to allow plenty room for speculation. Assuming that the Rose Bowl in- vader will come from the South or the East, Alabama’s Crimson tide, cur- rent stand-out in the Southeastern Conference: Duke's Blue Devils, Southern Conference power, and Pitts- burgh, Fordham, Villanova and Dart- mouth, all can be reckoned as still definitely in the running. Pitt and | Alabama are “veteran” Rose Bow! con- tenders and if they can avoid defeat the rest of the way, probably hold a definite edge over the rest. Although the undefeated list, lar}.mg the presence this week of Vanderbilt, North Carolina, Detroit, Auburn and Western (Colorado) State, adds up to 16, only seven of these have escaped ties. East Leads in Unbeaten. ERE'S the undefeated line-up of so-called major teams: East—Lafayette, unbeaten, and unscored on: Pitt, Fordham, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Villanova, Yale and Temple, all tied at least once. Midwest—Nebraska, tied once. Southwest—Baylor, unbeaten untied. South — Alabama, unbeaten untied; Duke, tied once. Far West—California, Santa Clara | and Montana, all unbeaten and untied. | Rocky Mountain — Colorado, un- beaten and untied. High-spots of this week's schedule | appear about as follows: Middle West— | Top billing goes to Pitt's invasion of South Bend to play Notre Dame, %7-6 conqueror of Minnesota in one of the most striking of the seeson's series i of form reversals. Pitt, which swept | past Carnegie Tech, 25-14, with Marshall Goldberg and Bill Daddio both sitting on the bench, may rule a &light favorite, but the Irish definitely appear to have found themselves after & disappointing start. untied and and Big Ten Tie Looms. PG TEN-competition will find Ohio State and Minnesota, only un-* beaten teams within the conference, favored to move along another step | toward a probable tie for the title. Ohio State, which ran over, around and through Chicago, 39-0. battles | Indiana, which outgained Nebraska from here to there, but yielded, 7-0, | to Jack Dodd's 65-yard touchdown run in the first 17 seconds of play. Min- nesota plays Iowa, upset 13-0 ,Purdue. Northwestern, back in winning column with a 14-6 triumph over Wisconsin, plays Illinois, beaten 7-6 by Michigan’s fighting Wolverines. | Chicago and Michigan square off in the other conference test. The two leaders in the Big Six Con- ference race, Nebraska and Kansas, | collide at Lincoln, with the Cornhusk- ers heavily favored. East: Fordham, which added a versatile attack to its customary granite de- fense for the first time this season | in handing North Carolina its first de- | feat, 14-0, returns to the Polo Grounds to battle Purdue in the best of a series of intersectional duels. the Detroit to Test Manhattan. ANHATTAN, which spotted | Georgetown two touchdowns and | then won, 20-12, plays Detroit, whose | perfect record was ruined by Villanova, 7-0. Villanova, still boasting a perfect | defensive record, should have little trouble with Marquette, bombarded by Banta Clara, 38-0. Princeton and Dartmouth are paired In the only “Ivy League” encounter of the week. Princeton, thoroughly tamed by Harvard, 34-6, in the Crim- son's first major victory under Dick Harlow's coaching, seems to have small chance of stopping the Dart- mouth juggernaut. The Indians from Hanover had Yale well whipped, 9-2, only to see the indomitable Elis square the count in the last few seconds of play on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Clint Frank to Al Hessberg and Gil Humphrey's subsequent point after touchdown. Yale may get a “breather” with Brown. Columbia, stopped cold by Cornell, 14-0, as George Peck returned to the Ithacans’ backfield, plays Navy, shocked by a 14-7 defeat at the hands of Penn's aroused Quakers. Penn plays Penn Btate. Harvard, with its running at- tack finally clicking, plays Army, 20-7 vietor over Virginia Military. comparative Rice Now Southwest Threat. OUTHWEST: !

Dixie Howell, apparently, will do. Irwin Finally Delivers. BEFORE the 21-0 conquest of the Dodg>rs—the first game, inci- dentally in which George Marshall’s prides and joys had held the opposi- tion scoreless—it was no secret that Irwin was the big disappointment of the season. Neither Flaherty nor Owner Marshall would say as much publicly, but they secret- ly admitted that Irwin had failed to live up to the promise he gave in his freshman year, Yesterday, he couldn't be stopped. Successful in a ruse in the first quar- ter when he attracted Dodger tacklers at the goal line while Sammy Baugh | was carrying the ball over for the first touchdown in another spot, the former | Colgate star did not have another ball- | carrying chance until the third quar- | ter. Bui what he did in that 15 min- | utes of play was a caution. Carrying the oval nine times and | running back an intercepted pass for { 65 yards, the rejuvenated sophomore accounted for 108 yards in that one | period—more than half the total yard- age gained all day by his mates. his nine runs from scrimmage he aver- aged better than five yards a try, slightly better than the figure with which Clff Battles has been leading all the league's ball carriers to date. His longest run, to be sure, was only 10 yards, but being the type relied upon solely for line bucking, that was plenty. Twice during the first three times he carried the ball he picked up first downs and he plunged over from the 1-yard stripe for the second touch- down. That his attempted lateral when tackled after his long run on Brooklyn's 10 was a fizzle was forgiven bécause of the chance it gave “King Kong” Kahn, a guard, to scoop it up and run for the final touchdown of the | day. g Irwin's “mmeb‘ck" seemingly was PRESIDENTS CRUSH NORFOLK GRID PROS Clancys, Beaten 24-7, Are First to Cross Goal of Capitals Dixie Loop Team.

But the Presidents scored in both the third and fourth quarters, each time as the result of a sustained drive. The first sterted from midfield, where a pass interception gave them the ball.

Stationed as the Skin's safety man in the entire fourth quarter and part of the third, Dix intercepted a pass and ran 16 yards, returned a punt for 20, knocked down two long deperately attempted scoring passes in the last few minutes of play and twice got off quick kicks without trouble.

By SID FEDER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, Nov. 1-—Eastern collegiate athleti involving virtually every sport, were | brought under one head today !in a far-reaching co-ordination of Atlaniic seaboard competitive activi- | ties, H:aded by James Lynah of Cornell, president of Easiern inter-collegiate Association, a special committee com- pleted organization of a new set-up in Eastern athletics by which 11 sepa- rate sports associations, conferences, comprising 50 colleges, are united under the directing guid- ance of Asa Bushnell, now graduate | manager of athletics at Princeton Uni- | versity. Lyrah announced early today that Bushnell would retire from his post at Princeton to succeed Walter R. Okeson as E. I A. commissioner and become “executive djrecmr” of the new “cen- ‘trnl office” Tn. New York, which will ! direct the organiuuon I May Have Arbitration Bureau. ADOPTKON of this plan for a central office for Eastern inter- collegiate athletics,” he said, “permits of co-orcination for the first time of administrative functions of the various intercollegiate associations and leagues | participating in this office, with re- spect to the appointment of officials, arrangements for mzets and harmoni: ing of schedules. * Eventually it may establish a bureau of arbitra- tion.” Largest and oldest of the 11 or- ganizations which, although retaining | independence, have joined the new | set-up, is the Intercollegiate Associa- | tion of Amateur Athletics of America (I C. 4-A). This group alone con- tains nearly 50 colleges, of which some half dozen, California, U. C. L. Michigan and Michigan State, South- | ern California_and Stanford are out- | side the Eastern sphere, The so-called “Ivy League” colleges —Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard, Prince- ton, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Cornell— ;me members of virtually all of the 11 hitherto separate groups which { sre flow under one head. | _In addition t the I C. 4-A and E.

Esstern | Intercollegiate Basket Ball and Base- ] ball Leagues, made up largely of the 0| “Ivy"” colléges; the Eastern Collegiate | Basket Ball Conférence, which. in- | cludes Pittsburgh, Temple, George- town, - Carnegie -Tech,- West Virginia and Penn ‘State;- the - Intercollegiate ;Ioe Hockey -Association, Quadrangular Hockey League, United States section of the International Intercollegiate Ice Hockey League. (Dartmouth, Har- vard, Yale, Princeton), Eastern .Col- legiate Swimming League. At present, no league or conference for football is contemplated, although in Lynah's announcement that the new organization would “increase ef- ficiency and decrease cost of supervi- sion now handled separately * * * and extend into new fields of activities,” the possibilily *was seen that such an eventuality may result. Bushnell Succeeds Okeson. N ADDITION, Lynah’s announce- ~-ment also.sajd that Bushinell would R | succeed Okeson.at the hélm of the Eastern Intercollegiate Association of Football Officials. _Working with Lynah on the com- mittee.’ which brought about the ‘co- ordination were William J.

He will take over his new duties ‘the’ first of the’year. “‘Mr. Bushnell becomes administra- tive officer of each of the organiza- tions, and of others that may pm in the future,” Lynah said. “* '+ We are indeed fortunate in securing & man of Mr. Bushnell's attainments in the field of intercollegiate sports for the important post of director of this office.” Paterson Panthers, 41; Brookiyn Bush- wicks. 0.

And as the game went, with Mayberry desperately trying to overcome a 13-0 Maryland lead, I didn't see much of them. In justice to Mayberry it must be recorded that his inter- ference hindered him almost as much as it helped him. Florida had an end play of which it seemed especially fond. Anyway, it was used six times running at one stage and Mayberry, carrying every time, consistently ran into his own | men. As Mr. Dobson insisted, “May- | berry is the fastest man in the country In a football suit.” He| simply was too speedy for his blockers, | who, mcldenten\ are not very apt, at the job. [T 1 little wonder that Dobson patriotically siceed the Redskins' | board of strategy onto Mayberry. He| {seems to be the type of player who can make good in pro football. He is extremely fast and shifty and apparently possessed of unlimited encrgy. Mayberry, alone, must have carried the ball 85 per cent of the time for Florida and, conservatively, he must have run 400 yards . . . not necessarily straight ahead. Mayberry might have difficulty | starring on the average college team. He belongs in & backfield with one or two uncommonly fast blockers, and they are rare unless you look to Pittsburgh, California, Alabama or to the National League. With the season slightly past the half-way mark, Washington fans al- ready have seen more than the usual! quota of fine backfield men.. Mayberry stands near the top but for undiluted college ball carrying purposes it would be difficuit to beat Andy Farkas of Detroit. Farkas isn't fast like May- berry. But Andy sort of glides and that gliding pace is decep- tive. Like any other back, he can be stopped. Villanova stopped him and s0 did Catholic U., despite the three touchdowns he scored here. Dutch Bergman had schooled Center Whitey Ambrose to check Farkas, from a position -in the secondary., but when $mbrose went out of the game, Farkas ran wild. Joe Kilgrow of Alabama ranks with the best backs to show here so (far. Kilgrow is more of the plugger type.

Meanwhile, bouncing back after their finest showing of the sea- son, Georgetown blew a 12-0 lead and was beaten by Manhattan, 20-12. Mr. Rod Thomas, who experts for this sheet, is not pessimistic over the Georgetown defeat. “I don’t claim to know exactly what happened Satur- | day,” medestly admits Mr. Thomas, | “but I-recall that some seasons ago, in Tom Mills' time at the Hilltop, | the Chick Meehanites of N.
