COLLEGE TILTS ARE MARKED BY MAJOR UPSETS Saturday’s Games Are Featured Bv Numeri ous Upsets By Harry Ferguson (United Press Sports Editor) New York. Oct. 17 'U.R> Let’s gather up the pieces carefully today and try to speak some decent words over the dead hopes of football teams that got caught in the weekend's hurricane of up j Set s. Please omit flowers. By all j means omit roses if you want to sympathize with Alabama. Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cornell who were unbeaten until the hurricane hit them and were having lovely dreams of a bowl filled with roses in Pasadena on New Year's day. Not since the time when the tortoise beat the hare has there: been a day of so much surprise, , Weak t"ams rose up and licked strong ones; little fellows knock-1 ed off big guys; last-minute I touchdowns wrecked months of! careful preparation. Today the national picture is | clearer with these teams gobbling up all the space in the fore-, ground: Ear West — California, which , marched on with a decisive. 20 to 7 victory over a strong U. C L. A. outtit. Midwest —Minnesota, still pant I ing from that narrow victory over ! Michigan by the heart stopping score of 7 to 6. South —Tennessee, which rammed the doubts down the throats of the dobuters with a brilliant 13-0 | victory over an Alabama team that looked like a safe l>et for an undefeated season. Southwest — Texas Christian, which seems to be able to turn i its power on and off as the occasion demands. Saturday TCI rolled up a 34 to 6 victory over I Texas A.

the day that Pitt really was supposed to be tested by sturdy Wisconsin squad, r.o all the Panthers did was win. 26 to 6: they are ' saying around western PenusylI vunia that this may he the great est of Pitt s gr< at teams and when they gay that they say a mouthful. Dartmouth, with more good hacks limn yon will see anywhere except In a night chib chants, folded around with Brown i Winning 34 to 13. Here are some cleanings from I Saturday's wreckage: Teams whose first-class play Saturday make them members in ' good standing of the "surprise, surprise club" • Yale. Syracuse. North Carolina. Tulane. Oregon State, Stanford. Strong teams likely to be overlooked In the rush to watch the leaders —Oklahoma. Notre Dame, Purdue. Fordham, Northwestern. ' Santa Clara. Baylor. Georgia Tech* Temple. lowa State, Rice. ' Pennsylvania. Columbia. Auburn, Duke, Vanderbilt ami Arkansas. Teams that will be mad enough to commit murder, and probably will, for the rest of the season—| Alabama and Cornell. Biggest disappointments of the , season — Nebraska, Ohio State. Texas. Tough luck team of the year - Indiana, which has a strong squad but has been beaten 6-0. 12-2 and i played a scoreless tie. Some classy little fellows — Bowdoin. Franklin Marshall, Wake | Forest. Game that would be worth hocking your wife's engagement . ring to see next Saturday—Santa ■ Clara vs Arkansas at San Fran- ■ cisco. Elks To Bowl At 8:30 This Evening — The four teams in the E.

SUPREME i (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) i the Strecker case to the high tribunal, contended that memberI ship in the communist party is a i deportable offense, on the grounds ; that the patty advocates overI throw of the government by force. In the Strecker case, the circuit I court ruled that sufficient evidence had not been offered by the government to show conclusively that communists advocated overthrow of the government or preached against it. although con- | ceding that such might have been j the case in the early 1920'5. just j after the Russian revolution. The circuit court opinion term | ed the assumption that Strecker i was an advocate of violent over- | throw of the government merely I because of his communist party | membership "a kind of pecksnif--1 fian righteousness. savoring ■ strongly of hypocrisy and party Federal law. enacted in 1920. provides for deportation of any alien who advocates, or belongs to any organization which advocates. overthrow of the government or physical action against the government. Strecker entered the United States in 1912 and filed a petition for naturalization in 1933. In November of that year the labor department issued a warrant for his arrest and a hearing was held in January, 1934. It was shown, by his membership card, that he joined the communist party in November. 1932, and i paid dues through February. ! 1933. His deportation was ordered, and in June. 1936. he sought release on a habeas corpus writ. The proceedings dragged through the courts until the circuit court's ruling last spring and the high court's action today. The circuit court left the way open for further action in the district courts by remanding the case for a new trial in which the government might have an opportunity to offer further evidence to support

REDSKINS AND BEARS IN LEAD Washington And Chicago Bears Lead In Pro League (By United Press) A look at the national professional b-ague football standings today might be mistaken for the 1937 won-and-lost columns. Washington's Red Skins and the Chicago Bears, same clubs which met in the title playoff last year, held undisputed possession of the lead In their respective divisions. Washington, forced to share leadership with the Brooklyn Dodgers until yesterday. came from behind to score a ~ 5 victory over the Detroit Lions while the Dodgers were being outclassed by the Green Bay Packers. A blocked punt that was recovered on Detroit's 17-yard line set the stage for the Red Skins’ narrow triumph. Bill Hartman passed to "Anvil" Andy Farkas who was downed on the seven. Farkas, an ex Detroit U. star, smashed six yards through guard. He carried it again for U-yard. then smashed over for the only touchdown of the game. Hartman placekicked the extra point. A safety and a tield goal by Regis Monohan in the first period had given the Lions their five-point lead. The Bears finally downed the Chicago Cardinals 34-28 in a thrilT- i ing-packed tilt. Twice the Cards ' came from behind a 20-point debit to challenge their city rivals. The game was highlighted by one o? the daffiest plays ever seen on a , gridiron: The first half apparently had ended and the Bear players had trotted to the sidelines when the Cards insisted the yhad called “time out" with a couple of seci onds to play. The claim was upheld. and on the first play—there was but for one—the Cards’ Jack RobXdns fumbled. The Bears' Dick Bassi. 210-pound substitute guard, recovered and lumbered 63 yards for atouchdown. On the attempted placekick for extra point. Joe Maniaci's try was blocked. Tony Blazine, 230-pound tackle, snared the live ball and started for the opposite goal line with a clear field ahead. He huffed and puffed 54 yards before being run out of bonds by the Bears. The Dodgers 35-7 defeat by Green Bay dropped them into third place on the eastern division and elevated the Packers into second place in the western division. Cecil Isbell and Bob Monett kept the air filled with passes to humiliate the Dodgers. The New York Giants moved into second place in the eastern division with a 17-7 triumph over Philadelphia. Two Eagle fumbles were converted into touchdowns in the second period as the Giants avenged their earlier defeat by Philadelphia. o » • Today’s Sport Parade By Henry McLemore New York. Oct. 17.—<U.R> —I will tl.idly furnish the use of my living * . UsUBV U . ■ ..1 . A,; PUUVU UlHl sandwiches, if any of you would care to join me in an informal discussion of that football problem child, the try for point after touchdown. I will serve as chairman of the meeting, not only because I am neutral on the subject and know the rudiments of parliamentary procedure, but because being chairman would allow me to rise to a point of disorder whenever I liked and serve another slug of punch. Certainly there is a need for discussion concerning the try for the extra point. It causes too many heartaches, costs too many jobs and brings about too much controversy each fall to be ignored. Tae tremendously important part it plays in a great sport is evident to everyone who reads the scores of the game each Saturday. Not a week goes by without a dozen or more important games being won or lost by the extra point. Minnesota's 7 to 6 victory over Michigan in the battle for the “little brown jug” was Saturday’s standout example George Faust. Minnesota quarterback, kicked the extra point and Dan Smick, Michigan end, didn’t. Those who dislike the extra point, and urge its discontinuance, probably will employ the statistics of this game in their argument in the meeting at my house. (You are coming, aren't you?) They are likely to point out that a team which makes 13 first downs to its opponent's 6. gains 157 yards rushing against 91. and completes more than three times as many forward passes, all of which Michigan did. shouldn't be robbed of victory, or at worst, a tie. Neutral as I am. such an argument makes quite a bit of sense to me. and also makes me ask if it is right for any one play to be so potent that failure can nullify its contention that the communist i party advocates overthrow of the government.

an afternoon of fine blocking, tackling, and passing. On the other hand, there is no getting around the cool, crisp logic that the point after touchdown is as fair for one team as for another, and that cdaches. ofall people, should know its importance and spenc much energy and time in developing a player who can boot the ball through what I like to call the uprights. • Perhaps the tip-off on Michigan's failure to kick the extra point is contained in the book "practical football.' whose author is Fritz Crister. the Michigan coach. 1 chance dto pull this book off the shelf yesterday afternoon and brows through its delightful pages on arrangement of schedulee. shoulder blocks, offensive play, end play, the passing game, generalship. scouting, and coaching problems. With tho details of Michigan's defeat by Minnesota still fresh in my mind, and being somewhat of an old tneanie. I looked to see how much space author Crister devoted to the try after touchdown. Not finding it listed in the table of contents I thumbed through the book rather carefblly. Still I didn't find even so much as a pragraph on the subpect. There was quite a bit of information on kicking in general. but nowhere did I find a warning to coaches to lay stress on developing a man who could be counted on to add the extra point. I'll bet you that the next edition of author Crisler's book will have plenty to say on the subject. (Copyright 1938 bv UP ) *'• •* «» SAFE CYCLING CONTTNUED FROM PAGE ONE) autnorities.
