INDIANA DROPS BUCKEYES FROM UNBEATEN LIST Hoosiers Beat Ohio. 10-0; Minnesota To Play Northwestern Chicago. Nov. 8 (U.R) -Two outI aiders proved the Big Ten's best is none too good, but when Minne--1 sofa's conference leaders ,clash In i their battle of vengeance with I Northwestern Saturday football I history may be mude. The Golden Gophers of the north, who stumbled and fell beI fore Nebraska and Notre Dame. ] have traded their unharnessed power for a deadly aerial game packed with tricky laterals. 1 With It. they swamped lowa. 35 j to 10. and emerged the only unde- | seated team in the conference race as Indiana thumped Ohio State. 10 : to 0. If Northwestern upsets the GoI phera for the second straight year, four teams — Minnesota, Indiana. I Wisconsin and Ohio State — will , have a chance for the champion- ' ship Indiana meets lowa, Ohio State : tackles stubborn Illinois. Wiscon- ' sin takes on Purdue. Michigan | plays at Pennsylvania. Beloit Col- ' lege invades Chicago, and Notre i Dame travels to New York to ] meet Army. Five of Minnesota's six touch- ] downs against lowa were rattled ' off on passes, or combinations of ] forwards and laterals. The Hawk- ] i eye defense was completely battlj ed. lowa scored 10 points before I the Gophers began to click, on a ] 68 yard touchdown pass from Nile I Kinnick to Jack Eicherly and a ] field goal by Buzz Dean. A 21-yard field goal by center I George Miller started Indiana roll- ] ing late in the second period and a j I 77-yard touchdown march ending i with a short pass from Frank i Filchock to Frank Petrick in the ! third period beat Ohio State. The | Buckeyes fired desperate passes all through the fourth period. Illinois' bristling defense — featuring seven, six and even a five man line — stifled Northwestern and gave the Illini their first conference victory of the year. 6 to 0. A one-foot touchdown plunge by quarterback Jack Berner climaxed 1 a 52-yard march late in the fourth | period. Chicago came within tile minI utes of winning its first Big Ten : game of the year. Leading Michigan 12 to 0. the Maroons punted short near the end of the game I and on the second from j scrimmage. Stark Ritchie ran 41 yards for a touchdown. Dan Smiek kicked the extra point and a few minutes later recovered a Chi cago fumble on the JJaroons' 21yard line. Again Ritchie scored and the Wolves won. 13 to 12. Notre Dame and Purdue fell victim to powerful Pittsburgh and Fordham. Purdue scored early on Cecil Isbell's placekick but faded quickly and lost, 21 to 3. Notre Dame led the Panthers until the final period when mighty Pitt began to drive in earnest.

PACKERS WHIP CHICAGO BEARS Bears Suffer First Defeat Os Season. Losing, 24-14 By United Press I National league football stand- ’ Ings showed no undefeated teams ] today. The last holdout*, the ('hiI cago Bears, had been tumbled by ! Green Bay’s powerful Packers ' Before a record crowd of nearly ! 45,000 at Chicago, the Packers ran | and passed their way to a 22-14 I victory. The Bears were not disI placed from the western division I lead, hut‘their margin over Green ] Hay was cut to 83 percentage i points. i Detroit went back into third j place among the westerners, defeating ( leveland 27-7 before a j ] crowa of 13,000. The idle Chicago j Car<(inals dropped to fourth. New York widened its first place 1 lead in the eastern division, scor--1 ing a 17-0 shutout over the Pittsburgh Pirates at New York before , a crowd of 3(,447. The second- ] place Washington Indians were I Idle. Ten thousand fans turned out 1 to see Bnxiklyn lose another, the sixth this year. 14-10. to the Phila- ] delphia Eagles. It was Philadelphia's second victory of the season but did not improve its position in league standings. , o ♦ * Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) Salt Lake City. Nov. 8.- (U.P.> -As 1 get it the recipe for an all-Amer-ica backfield man. as endorsed by all our leading press box chefs, ] reads something like this: Take equal parts of speed, powi er, and savvy. Mix well with ability and kick and pass. Add a gen-: erous pinch of endurance, and. serve on any field. If that's right, then this Byron j , “Whizzer" White of Colorado unii verslty deserves the gold watch, the parchmont scroll, the double-] breasted sweater, and all the other ! items that a man named on the all-1 America gets. He has all the ingredients named 'above. And in heaping portions.| ' He proved that to my satisfaction > on Saturday when, with only oc-| tasional support from his com-, ] rades. he brought his team to a 17 ; to 7 victory over a big. strong, and ! spirited Utah university eleven. 1 He scored all 17 points, and in doing so lifted his total for the season to 72. and kept Colorado in the | select group of undefeated and un- j tied teams. Whizzer, who told of his elec-] tion to Phi Beta Kappa, incident-, ally, just as the team Heft Denver j last Friday night, accounted for, the 17 points with a field goal, touchdown dashes of 57 and 97 ■ yards, and two placement kicks for ] the points after touchdown. His 97-yard run. which came when his team was trailing 3 to 7 and in rather sad straits, will go down in the boocks as one of the ' most amazing bits of football business in years. None of the 10.000 spectators really knew how miraculous that run was until they looked in the Sunday papers and studied the camera shots- Whizzer started this run by taking a punt on his own 12-yard line. Harassed l>y six Utah players he retreated to within three yards of his own goal. I and then dodged along the last stripe to within a yard of the far

ddellne. , The cameras showed that at this 1 point an even ten Utah players sur- . rounded him. But the camera*i also showed that he came out of I this pocket trape and, running within inches of the sidelines, streaked 97 yards for a score. | 1 His escape from so many tacklers. who completely surounrdecl him, defies explanation. It couldn't have been because of speed, because he didn't have room for a' straightaway burst. And it couldn't . have been done with trickery alone,! because any side-steps would have led him into the arms of a Yff guess is that mirrors were employed. His 57-yard spring was under-! itandable. He broke through 1 tackle on power alone, and out in 1 the open foiled his pursuers with a beautiful change of pace. White didn't throw many passes Saturday, but the ones he did toss i were fast and "sure, despite the ] fact that he was rushed to death I I ,
