Nov. 2 —<U.R)~- Northwestern and Minnesota, the only two undefeated Big Ten teams, will meet before a homecoming crowd of 50,000 at Evanston Saturday in a game that apparently; will settle the western conference football championship for 1931.

FOUR TEAMS IN EASTERN LEAD New York. Nov. 2 —(U.K) Syracuse, Harvard. Pennsylvania and Corneil headed the eastern college football pa ade today. These are the only major eastern teams without defeat or tie and each has played a representative schedule. In addition, each of the four, except Cornell, has been victorious in major intersectional strife. Syracuse, in winning from Michigan State. 15-10, Saturday, raised its total points scored this season to liS. against opponents' 35. Harvard's 19-0 victory over Virginia gave it a total of 135 to opponets’ 20. Pennsylvania, as a result of its 3-0 victory over Lafayette, has' a record of 108 against opponents'] 1 20. And Cornell's ball toters have , amassed 178 points to the oppositions' lone touchdown for six—scoried by Niagara. Barring upsets three of these I teams may hold to the same high ratings when the 1931 season is 'complete. For only two of them are to meet. Penn will play Cornell in their finjl game of the season. The past week-end was a disastrous one for two previously unbeaten and united “levens, N. Y. U. and Columbia. N. Y. U. lost to Oregon, 6 to 14. and Columbia lost to Cornell, 0-13. GRID PLAYERS BADLY INJURED San Francisco.

Pacilia' had starrted in the game until forced out with two cracked vertebrae and concussion of the spinal cord. Fuller broke his collar bone, his breast bone and two ribs. The three players comforted each other in the hospital ward with the knowledge they had left the game with the score tied. They pleaded to lesrn the final score only to be told that St. Mary's pushed over another tout hdowp to win. 21-14. Dr. Rodney Yoell, Santa Clara team physician, said that he had not yet been able to determine the full extent of O'Donnell's injuries. “O’Donnell-is a very sick boy," he saif. "He has shown some improvement however." Pailoia's spinal injuries had re suited in a partial paralysis. This, however, was believed only temporary. He was hurt in the third quarter while going over for a touchdown. Earlier he had converted after the first score. > l > o— — Corn Plots Checked The five acre corn club plots were ,ch . eked last week by Mr. W. D. Lfttlejohann of Newton County.

FREAK GAME | GETS COMMENT By Henry McLemore. UP Staff Correspondent New York. Nov. 2. — <UR) — The i Yale-Dartmouth game Saturday jdemonstrated clearly why graduate managers, coaches, athletic directlors and others whose very existence is bound up in football always have been able to smile slithely when some of this country's better minds have predicted a growing disinterest in the gridj iron sport. The graduate managers, coaches, ‘’athletic directors, etc., have known all along that if there came a time when the customers tired of the game -and spAit Saturday afternoons reading keats instead of I fighting their way into million dollar stadiums, all they would have 'to do to revive interest would be i to devise ways and means of making the game more spectacular. That wild-and-wooly, every-man-.for-himself thing in New Haven Saturday proved that the customers ; want fire-works and still more fireI works. It wasn't much of a game from the standpoint of orthodox ; football, but it was spectacular and ; did the fans love it? Accounts 1 read said the spectators left in a state next door to hysteria and. j nearly all the writers said it was one of the greatest games in years. What made the Yale-Dartmouth ; game spectacular? Well. I'd say 'the absence of linemen. Os course, j I both teams had seven men front lof the backfield, and called them I linemen, but I think most of 'em were working under false'pretenses. . For w hen in one game the backs spin off 10 runs which average bet-1 ; ter than 54 yards each, the lipemen I are that in name only. So, if in a few years worst comes to worst, and chess matches start [outdrawing football, all the athletic directors, coaches, etc., need to do is eliminate the line and make the game a track meet between the | backs. Such a move would not be anything new to sperts. Baseball, was | slipping in popularity when the moiguls decided to jazz things up by 1 introducing a rabbit ball. This ball, i w hich would jump over the fence even when smacked by an anemic shortstop, resulted in more and better home runs. Os course, the rabbit ball made a joke of smart baseball and reduced the necessity for a smart defense to a minimum, but I the boys and girls loved to see the ■ 1 all ride over the fences and the j thoughtful owners thought it best to let them have their way. | Wrestling did the same thing. The bill-goat butt, the airplane swing, the football tackle, and those 'ether goofy "holds’’ you see at a 1931 wrestling match are no more

wrestling that knitting is, but John M. Public and his family wanted something spectacular and they got it.

Nov. 2. — (U.R) — The Green Bay Packers, twice national professional league football champions, held undisputed posession of the league lead today for the first time this season. Green Bay won its eighth straight game by defeating the Chicago Bears before 30.01)0 here yesterday. 62.

Jess Hibbs, former Southern California tackle, smeared Dunn, Green Bay quarterback, on the goal line for a safety in the third period. With Benny Friedman back in the lineup, the New York Giants inflicted the first defeat of the year on the Portsmouth Spartans, 14-0.
