Feb 9—Willshire. O. at Decatur Feb 14 St. Mary's of Anderson at Decatur, Today's Sport Parade By Henry McLemore New York. Oct. 14 — (UP) Monday's v id-irony: It la amusing In these days of radio, telegraph and air mall that no word seemed to have seeped south about Ford ham's football greatness . . Alabama was the flrat to knock the Rama loose from their press clippings. and now Tulane has beaten them from pole to pole, no to apeak ... a new record for clay pigeon shooting was established Saturday when Harvard scored a fit to 0 victory over the University of Chicago . , . such a score seems hardly fair of fair Harvard. Jock Sutherland sat in the press tcox while Pittsburgh heat a favored Duke team, and he must have felt like Enoch Arden did when he returned home after a long absence to find his wife In the arms of another man . . . in other words, the Pitt team which was supposed to collapse when Sutherland was fired, seems to be doing all right In the hands of another man The four-leaf clvoer crop at West Point must be a bumper one thia year, else the aadets never would have managed a 4-4 tie with Columbia . . . the most Inept team to come from the point In years was beaten to a fragile for 67 minutes of the 60. only to tie the score in the last three minutes of the game with a pass that spanned 92 yards . . . aside from that one thrust—which went straight to the heart .of Lou Little—the Army was as ragged as Coxey'a army. Northwestern was hailed as the wonder team of the mid west before the season started and it is living up to its advance notices . . the customers are wondering when it will win a ball game . . . Northwestern's Bill De Correvont netted only three yards from scrimmag» and that Isn't good gaining, even in a phone booth . . . not since Sergeant Alvin York single-handedly surrounded a trench full of Germans in the world war has anyone put on such a one-man show as Tommy Harmon did as Michigan defeated lowa. 27 Jo 7 ... he was so good In scoring all of Michigan's points that even Fielding Yost stopped talking to watch him perform. in the far west, work on a new Oregon trail, this one leading toward a Pacific conference championship, was continued as Oregon's surprise football package turned back California ... it was California's third setback of the season and prompted Coach Sttub Allison to hasten work on his raft . . . Alabama and Tennessee! punched the stuffing out of their sparring partners and so will go into their game next Saturday undefeated and untied. Conditions in Oklahoma can't possibly be as bad as John Steinbeck would have us believe In "grapes of wrath” when the Okey football team knocks over Northwestern one week, then follows with a 24-12 job on the best Texas University team tn three years . . If the dust bowl boys keep up with this sleight-of-hand work, the Carnegie Institute will be holding another investigation . . . and this time will confine it to the southwest. My personal nomination for the eastern Rose Bowl bid. the East Stroudsburg Teachers, rolled another inch sloser to Pasadena by utterly rooting their traditional rivals, the Shippensburg Teachers. 24-7 . . . wire, write or phone your congressman immediately . . .

Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears—todsy were riding through the National league like the four horsemen of Action and fancy. Playing before 120.141 In four major league ball parks Sunday, the "big four" slashed and smashed their way to triumphs which presage some of the greatest football duels In the history of the "cash and carry" league. Hottest duels ahead is the New York Glants-Chlcago Bears clash In the Polo grounds next Sunday. Rolling on toward this climactic October battle, the ( humpion Giants cut down the Philadelphia Eagles lu the Polo grounds yesterday. 27-10, before 34.471. largest crowd ever to see an opening day in the 15-year history of the National league. The Giants spotted the Eagles 10 points and then came on like a biasing prairie fire to roll up three touchdowns, all with extra points, and two Held goals. After Hank Reese booted a 43-yard field goal and Ted Schmitt. Eagle guard, picked up a fumble and raced 6.1 yards for a touchdown, the Giant machine started to roll. The Giants marched 61 yards for one touchdown, and trailed 10-| 7at half time Then Hank Soar | intercepted one of Dave Smukler's passes and ran 40 yards to score, putting the Giants on top. 14-10. After that it was a breeze. Little Davey O'Brien. Texas Christian's 150-pound all-Amerlca passing wizard, making his NewYork debut as a pro. was a tragic, ineffectual figure trying to get off his famed aerials. Once the Giants smeared him three times straight for losses totaling 25 yards as he tried to get off a bell-ringing pass It just wasn't little Davey's day. Keeping pace with the Giants in the east, the Washington Redskins crushed the Pittsburgh Pirates. 4414. before 25.982 fans at Washington. The Giants and Redskins are tied for the eastern division lead, each with three victories, no de- 1 feats and one tie (against each other). Frank Filchock. former Indiana star, and Dick Todd, fresh mast from Texas A. « M.. had neld days for the Redskins. Filchock . | completed 6 out of 7 passes for 173 yards Todd, within a few minutes, raced 60 yards around end for a touchdown. and then took a 25-ya rd pass from Filchock for another score. Out west the Detroit Lions, only I unbeaten, untied team in the league. maintained their perfect record by scoring a 15-7 triumph over the Cleveland Rams before 30.096 persons at Detroit. It was the Lions' fourth straight triumph. With Johnny Pingel. Lions' heavy duty offensive star, on the bench with a leg injury. Detroit uncoverV.B.C.
