WILDCATS BEAT MINNESOTA IN FEATURE GAME Northwestern Outplays Gophers To Win By 6-3 Score Chicago. Oct. 31.--(U.R) —As the big ten hailed Northwester nas Its new gridiron king tor a day. future foes of the battering Wildcats recalled with alarm today that Lynn Waldorf's teams seldom hit their peak until November. Wisconsin was the chief worrier. Next Saturday, the first one of November, Wisconsin must battle the mighty Northwestern eleven which overpowered Minnesota. 6 to 3. and shot into a first place tie with Ohio State in the conference standings. That victory was a masterpiece of straight football. Northwestern bowled over enemy tackles, sprink l ed in eeffetive reverses, ran the ends, passed neatly and sparingly in the old. deliberate style rarely seen since razzle-dazzle caused such a traffic jam at the gox office. The Wildcats threatened inside the 20-yard line nine times, scoring once, piling up 16 first downs to seven. 177 yards from rushing to 9.3 and 77 yards from passing to 22 for Minnesota. Also established as dangerous open field runners were Ollie Hahnenstein. Francis Purtell and Erwin Madsen, all sophomores, indicating Northwestern's attack is improving and will be far more potent in November than any time this season. Ohio State, last real razzle-daz-zler in the big ten, will attempt to protect its share of the league lead against Purdue this week. lowa plays at Minnesota, Michigan entertains Pennsylvania, Indiana invades the east to play Boston college and Chicago also travels eastward for a game with Harvard. Notre Dame meets Navy at Baltimore. Although Northwestern trailed the defending champions from late in the second period, when big Horace Bell booted a 25-yard placement, until less than five minutes

of the game remained, the Wildcats must have known from the first minute of the second half that Minnesota could be beaten. Minnsota opened that half by kicking off and before it could regain possession. Northwestern marched 41 yards, all but five of which were poured through Minnesota's left tackle. That crushing charge, led by right tackle Bob Voigts and right guard Hal Method. put Minnesota in a hole from which they never recovered. Not once in the entire half could they purfh farther than their own 33yard line. After a brilliant showing both offensively and defensively, big Larry Buhler of Minnesota finally made the costly error of fumbling on his 20 and Northwestern scored in three plays with Bernie Jefferson pushing over left tackle the last eight yards. Michigan and Wisconsin joined Minnesota in second place. Michigan, led again by its sparkling sensation. Tom Harmon, defeated Illinois. 14 to 0. with Harmon running 15 yards for one score and passing 23 yards to Forest Evashevski for the other. Wisconsin had one splurge, a 72-yard march to beat Indiana, 6 to 0. lowa surprised Purdue by fight ing the strong Boilermakers to a 0 t oO standstill. Ohio State swamped New York University, 32 to 0, and Chicago celebrated its first victory of the year over little DePauw. 34 to 14. TEN UNBEATEN, UNTIED TEAMS Ten Major College Teams On Undefeated. Untied List New York. Oct. 31 —(U.R) —Ten are seated today in the charmed circle of major football teams i that are undefeated and untied.' but five of them must risk their records this week against rowdy outfits aching to bring about upsets. The lucky ten are Pittsburgh. Texas Christian, California, Tennessee. Notre Dame. Santa Clara. Dartmouth. Duke. Oklahoma and lowa State. Somewhere in that list are your Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl contestants. Five of them seem certain toj survive 'he week Duke, a team that has gone its quiet way without yielding a point this season,, doesn't nlay There is not much I chance, either, that these can lose: Tennessee which plays Chattanooga. Dartmouth which meets Dickinson. Santa Claraj which plays San Francisco, and lowa State which takes on Drake. But the other five have got jobs cut out for them. Pittsburgh j must get past Carnegie Tech. TCU meets a tough little Tulsa squad. California must dispose of Southern California. Notre Datne confronts Navy, and Okla-! homa plays Kansas State. The chances are that there won't be 10 chairs in the charmed circle next Saturday night. Looking back over the week-end there is nothing to do but preach from the old. familiar text: "Woe unto him who plays Pittsburgh and Texas Christian.” Saturday was to be the day of Pitt's trial by fire. Fordham, a stout, tricky team, was supposed to be able to cage the Panther if anybody could. And. for three periods, Fordham did. Then fate, which plays in the Pittsburgh backfield under the aliases of Goldberg. Stebbins, Cassiano and Chickerneo, took a hand and that was the end of Fordham. When they picked up the pieces the score was 24 to 13. Texas Christian, too, was sup-, post d to have trouble on its hands with Baylor. The only trouble that developed wu with the scoreboard attendents who had trouble keeping up with the Texas Christian team. He finally figured up that it was 39 to 7. o Trad?

PACKERS WIN TO HOLD LEAD

Green Bay Defeats Cleveland Rams To Retain Lead New York. Oct. 31 (U.R) Don i Hutson and Riley Smith. Alabama’* Rose Bowl stars of 1935. were heroes of the national professional football league today As chief mariners of the Crimson Tide, they performed noteworthy deeds which engulfed Stanford 29-13 and wound up a gloridus football season. Sunday Hutson, an uncanny end who is undoubtedly the greatest pass ' catcher in football, and Smith, a cagey quarterback with an educated toe. kept their respective teams on top in the national league. Hutson, who caught nine passes from Dixie Howell and Joe Riley iin the Rose Bowl rout, snared ' three touchdown passes yesterday to lead the Green Bay Packers to a 2S-7 victory over the I tough Cleveland Rams befools.4B3, largest crowd ever to see a pro game in Cleveland. Smith, now playing in the spangles of the Washington Red- ; skins, booted two field goals 'one from the 32 and the otheri from th- 24 to give the 19371 champions a 6-6 tie with the, Brooklyn Dodgers before a crowd; of 30.000 in Flatbush. Hutson's great aerial receiving enabled Green Bay to snap Cleveland's three game winning, streak and hold its lead in the i western division. He caught a i ' flat zone pass from Cecil Isbell. and ran 50 yards for one touch-1 I down. He took a 55-yard toss ’ from Bob Monnett on the goal 1 1 line for his second score. For the! third touchdown. Monnett heaved I i 50 yards to Hutson on the 20 yard j I line and he zig zagged past two I | tacklers to score. Green Bay's first touchdown | came on a 25-yard pass from I ! Monnett to Clark Hinkle. Cleve- ! land's score came when Jim BenI ton intercepted a Green Bay pass I and lateraled to Julius Alphonse I who ran 25 yards across the goal. Smith's two field goals preventI ed Washington from dropping in.to a tie with the New York 1 Giants f- r the lead in the eastern | division Brooklyn just barely missed winning as Ralph Kereh- ! eval's try for the extra point hit t one of the uprights and bounced back the wrong way. With Bill Shepherd running wild. Detroit triumphed over the j Chicago Bears. 13-7, and moved into second place in the western ; division. A crowd of 24,356 at Chicago saw Shepherd rip off 152 yards in 18 attampts. Regis I Monahan and Dutch Clark kicked, field goals for the Lions in the ■ second period. Clark's score en- , abled him to displace Verne Lew-, ell-n, former Green Bay fullback, I as the all-time leading scorer of i the National league, with 304 I points. o * Today’s Sport Parade j By Henry McLemore • 4 Baltimore, Md., Oct. 31. —(U.R) — I Cold facts on a hot hoss race —to- 1 morrow's Pimlico special in which War Admiral and Seabiscuit will ] have it out at one mile and three-1 sixteenths: Much has ben written about how 1 small War Admiral is but few per-1 sons realize that Seabiscuit is smaller ... At least that’s what the ' measurements of Dr. Harry C. Crawford show, and he went over them both as carefully as though he were a tailor measuring them for evening clothes . . . War Admiral’s 15 hands 2% inches in height make him half an inch taller than Seabiscuit, and his overall length is 9 feet 2 inches as against 7 feet 10 inches so rhis rival . . . Tlw Admiral has an inch in muzzle length (19 against 18) and his avI erage stride is 21 feet 1% inches, , Seabiscuit’s 20 feet 11% inches . . . The Biscuit is heavier, however, weighing 1,040 pounds to 960 . . . Their caskin. stifle, and forearm measurements are the same, and each has nine incljes of open countrv between the eyes. The two horses are not kin. despite the presence of Man O’ War's name in the pedigree of both . . . j Only horses out of the same dam are related, the female line being the basis of all relationships in a pedigree ... If the two rivals were of the human family War Admiral would be Seabiscuit’s uncle, which is something he will try to make the Biscuit holler in the home stretch tomorrow ... A match race Is nothing new for Pimlico. ... In 1877 congress adjourned for the first and only time to watch a horse race in order that its members might see Parole, Ten Broeck. and Tom Ochiltree in a triangular battle at Pimlico ... In case you're interested, the race was won by Parole, the outsider in the betting. Seabiscuit has run the Pimlico special distance in 1:55 4-5 .. . War Admiral's best time for the distance was 1:55 2-5 . . . Charlie Howard, the Californian who owns Seabiscuit, won't need the thirty
