CENTRAL BEATS DECATUR TEAM BY 39-0 SCORE Yellow Jackets Unable To Stop Central’s Passing Attack A reserve strength numbering half a hundred men and a fast, shifty, pass throwing backfield proved the downfall of the Yellow Jackets Saturday afternoon, when the Central Tigers humbled the locals. 39-9, at North Side field in Kort Wayne. The first half of the encounter was battled on fairly even terms with the Tigers scoring but two touchdowns and the Jackets threatening several times, gaining seven first downs. The Tigers scored in the first quarter when Yarmen passed 20 yards to Hanley, who twisted through a broken field the remaining 30 yards. Lebandowski carried the ball over left tackle for the extra point. In the second stanza. Hanleytossed a 15-yard pass to Teagard-’ en. who squirmed through the Desatufsafety for another score. An attempted pass for the extra point failed. Score at half-time was 13-0 The shifty ball carrying of Tai-, ley, elusive colored back, and a long looping pass, Yannan to Robinson, carried the ball to Decatur s one-yard line early in the third quarter, from where Hanley car ried it over, and caught a pass from Talley for the extra point. Score: Central 20. Decatur 0. Pass after pass by Mendenhall s regulars quickly scored for Central again. Again Talley and Yarmaa were responsible. The colored halfback caught a pass, ran to Decatur’s 17-yard line from midfield and Yarmen ran the balance of the way to score. An attempted pass failed for the point. Score. 26-0. Then Hanley scored after a long looping 25-yard pass to Talley put the pigskin on Decatur's seven-yard stripe. Hanley passed to Lantz for the extra point. Score 33-0.

, made a determined bid for a touch-1 {down, stopped only by the final I gun. Four first downs carried the ball to Central’s 30 yard line from ’ deep into local territory but the ' timer’s gun stopped the advance. 11 The weird passing attack was , the main factor in the big margin. , Decatur made 11 first downs to Central’s 12. The Tigers, however, completed seven out of 15 passes I and gained 96 yard* on the tosses alone. Passes were directly or indirectly responsible for all Central touchdowns. ' Mendenhall used 50 men and ! each backfield combination made - up ill cleverness what the reserve line lacked in strength and power. | Central Decatur | | TylerLE Stalter Storms LT Neidigh ■ Langas LG Freidt Cilery C Highland I Arnold RG Shoe Thompson RT Meyer ' F.

NEBRASKA WIN OVER GOPHERS MAJOR UPSET Minnesota Teain Upset By Nebraska In Year’s First Upset Chicago. Oct. 4 (U.R) Nebraska's stunniAg victory over Minnesota boomed title hopes of Northwestern’s Big Ten champions today as they groomed another team of Giants for their conference opener against Michigan. Defeat of the mighty Gophers and Northwestern's 33 to 0 runaway against lowa State heartened Wildcat backers for the first time ! since they stormed Notre Dame ■ stadium for the final game last season — and saw the Wildcats knocked loose front their claims tor the mythical national football championship. Minnesota, still a favorite even in defeat, also opens its citiferenee campaign against Indiana at Minneapolis. Wisconsin meets Chicago in the only other Big Ten game. Every other conference terfhi will l»e in action. Ohio State, conqueror of Purdue, travels to the west . coast seeking more intersectional | glory against Southern California. I ! Carnegie Tech plays at Purdue. | ■lllinois and Nqtre Dame resume relations at Illinois and lowa | meets Bradley Tech. Two fumbles whipped the Go-1 phers at Lincoln. Neb., last Satur- i day. The courageous Comhuskers. i probably with less hope of winning than in any recent game of their hectic series with Minnesota, pounced on both the breaks, outmaneuvered the Gophers just as Northwestern did a year ago and emerged with a 14 to 9 triumph. Twice the Huskers came from behind. On the end of a typical Minnesota drive in the first period. Andy Cram flipped a touchdown pass to Vic Spadacinni in the end zone. But there the Gophers collapsed. A fumble gave Nebraska the ball on Minnesota’s 35-yard line in the second period and the Huskers I were on their way. Johnny Howell. the veteran track who laid the . groundwork for the score with a , forward pass, plunged over from | ! the four-yard line. Horace Bell put the Gophers i back into the lead but again they I j fumbled, this time on the 40. and Nebraska cleverly worked the ball ■ through the desperate Gophers■ i with two forward passes when I ' line plays failed to gain enough 1 ground. Both passes were thrown I by Harris Andrews, who dropped - I the scoring toss into the arms of Elmer Dohrman. Ohio State whipped Purdue with j I power plays but the Bucks threw > ! in enough razzle-dazzle to serve l notice the have not abandoned[ that style entirely. A 70-yard l march, sparkling with passes by: Mike Kabealo and Nick Wasylik, ! ended in one touchdown and KaI bealo’s short pass to Fred Crow scored the other as the Bucks won I 13 to 0. o | Decatur CYO Play Draws Large Crowd { A large croyd. which filled the spac!, auditorium to nea? capacity, witnessed the three act play, "Spooky Tavern.” presented Sunday night at the Decatur Catholic high school by the- Decatur CYO.

YANK OUTFIELD FAR STRONGER Yankees Far Stronger On Offense In Outfield; Even Afield (Editor’s note: Following is the i fourth of a series comparing the world series rivals. Tomorrow, j picking the winner.) ■ By George Ktcksey United Press Staff Correspondent.' New York. Oct. 4 <U.R) Marked superiority at bat gives the Yan-j kees a wide edge over the Giants i in comparing the world series out- ! fields. Defensively the Giants i might be given a generous stand ' off The figures make the Giants’ j outfield look hopeless on paper. , The Yanks’ trio of Myril Hoag, i Joe Dimaggio and George Selkitk ! has a combined average of .326 l compared to a mark of .288 for ! Joe Moore, Lou Ghiozza and Jimmy rtipple. In manufacturing runs ' 'the Giants look even worse from j the dope. The Yanks patrolmen i have driven in 270 runs against 150 for the Giants. Os course, it | must be taken into consideration that Chiozza. a failure at third! base, is a happier player in the out- • field and consequently a more ■ dangerous hitter. Di Maggio is one of the main i cogs in the Yanks’ machine. He j is unanimously rated as. the greati est outfielder of the year—a dang- ■ erous long listance ciouter and a i superb fly chaser. His batting average is .345, topping all world series players except his teamj mate. Lou Gehrig. He's hit 45 i homers and driven in 158 runs. o GEHRINGER AND MEDWICK LEAD Detroit Infielder, Cardinal Outfielder Batting Champs New York. Oct. 4—Batting laurels for the 1937 major league season today were conferred on Detroit’s silent man. Charlie” Geh ringer, and the St. Louis Cardinals’ dashing outfielder, Joe Medwick. Gehringer topped the American I league with an average of .369, i replacing Luke Appling of the I White Sox who won the title last I year with .388. Medwick led the I National league with an average of

374. succeeding Paul Waner of the Pirates, crowned king last year with .373. Gehringer is the oldest player ever to lead the American league. He was 34 last May. He's been in the league 14 years. The 25-year-old Med wick slugged his way to the batting title in his fifth year in the league. Carl Hubbell. Giants’ southpaw, again won the National leagtt«| pitching with 22 victories I ! and S defeats for an <verage of '.733. Johnny Allen. Cleveland! i right-hander, led the American I i leaguers with 15 victories and one . defeat for an average of .938.
