Pacific Lutheran won 7 games in the regular season, scoring 190 against 40. and then beat Gon- zaga in a post-season game. i Others On The List Other unbeaten “small college” highest $ teams were Springfield (Mo.) Teachers, Hardin-Simmons of Texas, Milligan of Tennessee, 4 Eastern Kentucky Teachers, Wi tenberg of Ohio, Shurtleff of Mli- nois, Millersville of Pennsylvania, La Crosse of Wisconsin and La- fayette of Pennsylvania. Hardin-Simmons, with 9 tri- umphs and 229 points against 76, is coached by Frank Kimbrough, brother of Jarrin’ John, Texas Aggies’ All-Amercia fullback. Under Kimbrough, Hardin-Sim- mons has won 47, lost 8 and tied 3. Among their victims this year were Catholic of Washing- ton, San Fraricisco U. and Loyola of Los Angeles. It's Pass-conscious team—in the West Texas State game a year ago 72 passes were thrown. H. C. Burrus, end, and Owen Good- night, halfback, were the 1940 outstanding players. Unbeaten teams are no novelty for Wittenberg college of Spring- field, O., coached by T. W. Stobbs. It has had five, three in a row— 1918-1920—and 1931 and 1940. Wittenberg’s star was Captain John Kostyi, a halfback who tal- lied 67 points to lead Ohio. He rang up 9 touchdowns, place- kicked 13 extra points, and passed for 10 other touchdowns, account- ing for 19 of the team’s 24 touch- downs. A senior tackle, John Johnson, called signals, and a pair of brothers at end, Richard and Robert Caton, each scored four touchdowns on _ passes from Kostyo. Good Three-Year Mark Springfield (Mo.) Teachers has won 23 of 26 games since How- ard (Red) Blair became coach three years ago. This year it scored 279 points against 20 ir ten viciories. The club used 75 plays, without a single straight line thrust. Blair likes his backs under 165 pounds, preferring speed to weight. His club has won 14 straight games. Dwight Bump- us, a crack passer, and Guy Bras- hear, a 155-pound linebacker are the standouts. In accomplishing their first un- beaten, ugtied season, the Mil- lersville (Pa.) Teachers, with on- ly 530 students, put on one of the finest comebacks of 1940. A year ago they won only two of seven games. They won seven this son, scoring 166 points against 25. Ivan J. (Poss) Stehman coach- ed this team which featured Cap- tain; Danny Miller, a tackle who has played 60 minutes of every game during the last two years. Eastern Kentucky Teachers, whose rivals came from six sta- tes, won eight games, scoring 273 to 27 under Coach Rome Ran- kin. End Charles Schuster and Quarterback Wyatt Thurman starred for this Notre Dame sys- tem squad. Although Lafayette has only 1,000 students, it generally is not listed along with “small-college” teams because it usually has a team that successfully tackles big league opposition. The Easton Pa., outfit hung up its second perfect season since 1937, win- ning nine games and scoring 238 against 33, under Coach E. E. (Hooks) Mylin. Fullback Walt Zi- rinsky was the outstanding play- fullback § Earl Platt, i (Special 10 The Citizen) WICHITA, Kans.
