Oct. 24 (U.PJ’-The man of the hour in professional football today was Art Lewis, who was shoved into one of the tough est spots in the National least:-' a month ago as coach of the Ils organized Cleveland Rams. Cleveland had lost its first three games, including an unmerciful 37-13 licking from the champion Washington Redskins, when Lewis assistant coach and tackle, replaced the veenrable Hugo Bezdek. With a little magic and a lot of hard work Lewis whipped Cleveland into a team which today had a fighting chance to win the league’s western division championship The Rams crowned their comeback Sunday witn a sensational 23-21 victory over the league-lead-ing Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field. In a breath thking game in which the lead changed hands six times, the Rams fought their way to their greatest triumph since they joined the pro league last year. Lewis, who broke into the pro game only two years ago with the New Yo>k Giai’ts. quit his job as line coach at Ohio Wesleyan this fall to become assistant coach and tackle for Cleveland. He is rated an outstanding lineman but his great job of rebuilding the rains overshadows other achievements. The Rams have licked the Bears twice (14-7 in the other game) and Detroit 21-17. in scoring three straight victories since Lewis took over. They now have a .500 per cent record and are pointing for next Sunday s game against the leading Green Bay Packers with title aspirations. Green Bay moved into the western division lead by defeating Pittsburgh. 20-0. Cecil Isbell, the Texan from Pardue, led the Packers to victory with his running and passing. He dashed 37 yards to Green Bay’s first score and was a leading factor in an air attack that netted 150 yards. Cleveland got away to a 6-0 lead over the Bears in the first minute and a half of play. The Bears kept up a steady counter attack but every time they regained the lead the Rams snatched it back quickly. At different stages of the game the Bears led, 7-6, 14-9, and 21-16. but Corby Davis, ex-lndiana fullback, plunged over for the Rams’ winning score in the last few . minutes of play. The Detroit Lions held third place by winning a hard-fought. 10-0 victory over the Chicago Cardinals. Regis Monahan’s 34yard field goal in the second per- I iod and Bill Shepherd's 2-yard J touchdown plunge in the third accounted for the Lions’ points. The champion Washington Redskins maintained their lead in the eastern division by outscoring the Philadelphia Eagles. 20-14 The Redskins led throughout. Andy Farkas ripped over for two touchdowns and Riley Smith scored the other on a pass from Bil 1 Hartman which netted 61 LOANS $lO to S3OO On Your OWN Signature No Endorsers Absolute privacy.

WILDCATS MEET GOPHER ELEVEN NEXT SATURDAY Northwestern - Minnesota Tilt To Feature Conference Games Chicago, Oct 24—(UR) -Northwestern has veiled its thunder four weeks in a row. but down It comes against Minnesota Saturday and the uproar once more may rock the Gophers off their Big Ten football throne. Minnesota hasn't the rumbling team today it had when Northwestern wrecked its three year chain of 21 victories on a muddy October day in 1936. Northwestern may be better. The Wildcats rolled over Illinois last week. 13 to 0. without half trying. They attempted only three ft award passes, only once got so tricky as to attempt an end around play, and remained content to batter the formidable lllinl tackles with a pounding that produced results two minutes after the opening kickoff One tiling Minnesotas scouting staff was allowed to see and the sight of that swivel-hipped red head must have sent them back to Minneapolis worried plenty. Oliver (Red) Hahnenstein. a car-rot-topped sophomore who has sparkled in every scrimmage on the Northwestern campus this fall and briefly in early games, was a sensation from the minute he ran back the opening kickoff 37 yards Hannenstein gave way to his more experienced superior. Jack Ryan, early in the first period and Ryan led a 46 yard touchdown march straight through the Illinois line. Ryan went over from the three yard line. Hahnenstein came back in the fourth period, slanted ff tackle for 28 yards to the three yard line and scored on the next play. Tne victory was Northwestern’s first, after its scoreless tie with Ohio State and virtually removed Illinois from the title race. The Illi.ii previously had defeated Indiana. 12 to 2. Wisconsin also received its first conference licking of the year from Purdue, 13 to 7. after running over the homecoming Boilermakers the entire first half. t,nd by Mike Ryelene, pintiSized back who pulled the same rallying stunt in the opener against Detroit University. Purdue came to life in the second half. He threw three passes, the last to Jack Krause in the end zone, to tie the score in the third period and in the fourth raced 73 yards over right tackle for the winning touchdown. Ohio State had a romp over Chicago, 42 to 7, in the only other conference game. Outside the conference, Big Ten teams lost two games and won one. Michigan defeated Yale. 15 to 13. in a thrdler which definitely established Michigan’s sophomore. Tom Harmon, as one of the greatest back in the midwest. Colgate's passes whipped lowa. 14 to 0. and Kansas State thumped Indiana at homecoming. 13 to 6. In two other midwestern games of national importance. Notre Dame kept its record spotless by defeating Carnegie Tech. 7 to 0 and Texas Christian, sparked as usual by Davey O’Brien, walloped Tdarquette, 21 to 0. o w I— The Decatur Yellow Jackets will play their final home game of the season Wednsday night, meeting the strong Bluton Tigers at Worthman Field. —oOo— The opening kickoff is schedyards. Playing their best game of the season the New York Giants remained on th? heels of the Redskins by scoring a 28-14 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Giants piled up four touchdowns before the Dodgers came to life in the final period and scored twice. Ed Danowski kept up his whirlwind passing by completing 5 out of 8 for 92 Giants yards. A total of 114,145 persons saw the five games, with the largest crowd. 36.228, at the GiantsDodgers game. Othar crowds were: at Washington. 30,000; at Chicago, 18,000; at Detroit, 17,917 at Green Bay, 12,000.

i • * A hard-fighting Carnegie Tech team held the • vaunted Notre Dame eleven scoreless for three quarters of the contest at South Bend, but lost

| November 16. with the Kirkland [ Kangaroos furnishing the oppoI sition. —oOo — Last home game Wednesday! o * Today's Sport Parade By Henry McLemore New York. Oct. 24.—(U.P.) With- | out any more ado. and without i waiting for the season to close. I hereby nominate Mr. John Get- , chell as the captain of the 1938 allAmerican football team. His work at South Bend last Saturday, when he single-handedly defeated a fine an'd fighting Carnegie Tech eleven. 7 to 0. stands as one of the greatest one-man ' feats of all time. On the off chance 1 that some of you might have missed reading of Mr. Getchell's performance, I will tell you what hap- - pened. In the fourth period of the game i between Carnegie Tech and Notre ■ Dame, with the score 0-0 and Carnegie Tech in possession of the ; ball at midfield, the Tech quarterI back asked Mr. Getchell, referee of the game, what down it was. ■ Mr. Getchell told him it was third down and one yard to go. The . quarterback rightly called for a line plunge, and when that failed : to gain the needed yard the Tech i team went into punt formation. But Mr. Getchell rushed in and i gave the ball to Notre Dame, ex- ' plaining that he had forgotten 1 about a down and that Tech ali ready had had four downs. Given the ball at this point the Irish, who had been unable to do anything against the Carnegie line before this weird decision and gift, smashed through a demoralized and bewildered foe for a touchdown. 1 saw Tom Thorp, one of the 1 oldest, wisest and most respected 1 football officials in the country, at ■ the professional game at the Polo ' grounds yesterday, and asked him

th match in the last quarter, 7 to 0. Tech's right halfback, George Muha, is shown crashing through the Notre Dame line for a five-yard gain.

what he thought of Mr. Getchell’s decision. “It doesn’t make sense, anyway you look at it,” Thorp said. “When Getchell realized liis error he should have done one of two things —stuck by his statement to the ’ Tech quarterback and given them another down, or called the play i off and given Tech a chance to kick, lb’ had no liuht to ponaliM a team for a mistake of his own." A coach I spoke to concerning the Incident (I won’t mention his name because of obvious reasons) said he was greatly surprised that Bill Kern, Tech coach, had not taken his team off the fiell rather than yield to such a decision. He also brought up the rather interesting point that while Kern's refusal to take such an extreme step was magnanimous and sporting, it wasn’t quite fair tn his team His boys had worked for this game, fought their hearts out on the field, and should not have been victimized by such a patently unfair break. 1 would like to know what Elmer Layden, Notre Dame coach, said during the debate over Getchell's decision. Knowing Layden for a fine sportsman I can't imagine him supporting Getchell and arguing that Notre Datne be given the ball. After all. Notre Dame didn’t deserve the ball until Tech had been given a chance to kick it down the field. Certainly there can’t he much rejoicing in South Bend over a victory achieved in such a manner.
