D., Saturday there will be football games between unbeaten and untied teams and it is on account pf just such things that there were only 31 perfect record squads left today in the ranks of the nation’s colleges. in that “meeting' of the unbeaten" in Dallas, titanic Texas takes on Southern Methodist in what many folks consider the game of the day. But just try and convince the pheasant-hunting country of North Dakota that it should take precedence over the clash between the Lusty Dusties of Ellendale, N. D., Normal and the Valley City Teachers, likewise both unbeaten and untied. There were 12 casualties on the “perfect record” roll call today as compared with the 44 teams on hand this time last week. And along with big time Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas. Pennsylvania, Penn State, Southern Methodist, Georgia Tech, and Utah the list of survivors today included such “little giants” as Missouri Valley of Marshall, Mo., Upper lowa, and Southern Oregon college of educa-tion-all protecting victory strings of two or more seasons duration. The midwest still led the way

Stu Holcumb Pulls Purdue Out Os Dumps Chicago, Oct. 28.—(UP) — Stu Holcomb, shifting from A’rmy’s football land of plenty, concentrated on fundamentals at faminestricken Purdue to produce a football team which now ranks among the best in the Big Nine. The stocky genial Holcomb, who coached the ends on two national championship Army teams and was promoted from private to private first, class for his success, took nearly the same material with which Purdue won two and tied one of nine games in 1946. In 1947, the Boilermakers have beaten Ohio State, Boston University and Illinois, and lost to Wisconsin, in the opener, and to powerful Notre Dame. “We've concentrated on fundamentals all year.” Holcomb said, in explaining his success. “We still scrimmage three times a week, an hour on Tuesday and Wednesday and 39 minutes on Thursday. So far we’ve had no injuries in these scrimmages, but I’m knocking on wood.” A football perfectionist, Holcomb also insists upon perfect physical condition for his players. He leads calisthenics personally, and always he expects to win. That spirit has been transmitted to his squad. After the 14 to 7 upset victory over Illinois, Holcomb admitted, the players were talking Rose Bowl. “But I can’t see it,” he added. “We probably won’t win all the rest of our games. I don’t have to key the team for any game. The players take care of that, and we’ve really got unified team spirit.” That spirit plus the fundamentals carried Purdue to the Illinois triumph. The Boilermakers were blocking and tackling hard and the speedy Illinois line and hardrunning backs were jolted time after time. And for the past three games Purdue has held its opponents to a total of 256 yards gained rushing. Notre Dame’s vaunted offense cotld rush only 89 yards while Illinois gained 136 on the ground. On the offense Harry Szulborski has been the star, averaging 6.23 ! yards per try on 73 carries. Bob De Moss, one of the nation’s best passers, has completed 22 out of 47 throws for 316 yards gained and five touchdowns. Art Haverstock, the place kicker, is the leading point maker with 16 points after' touchdown and one field goal. With these leaders Purdue won’t be much of an underdog in its remaining games, against lowa, Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Indiana. Michigan and Notre Dame remained the top teams in the midwest, and the only undefeated elevens in the area. This weekend Purdue meets lowa, Michigan plays Illinois in the midwest’s top tussle, Wisconsin travels to Northwestern, Notre i Dame tangles with Navy at Cleveland, Minnesota entertains Pittsburgh, and Indiana moves to Ohio State. 0 Says Truman Will Sign Tax Cut Bill Greenfield, Ind., Oct. 28 —(UP)— Rep. Robert A. Grant, R., Ind., predicted today that President Truman would sign a tax reduction bill early next year. Grant, speaking last night at a GOP rally in the 10th district where a special congressional election will be held next week, said it was “inconceivable” that the president would "dare to veto the tax reduction bill which the next session of congress will place on his desk in the early days of 1948.” . o Indianapolis Officer Killed In Air Crash Nichols Field, P. 1., Oct. 28 — (UP) — Ist. Lt. Thurman Day and his wife, Jean, were killed Saturday when an advanced training plane in which they were flying crashed 20 miles north of Manila, the 13th airforce announced today.

Probe Scalping Os Navy Grid Tickets Annapolis, Md., Oct. 28 —(UP) U. S. naval academy officials today sought to determine the extent of midshipmen participation in the “scalping”' of tickets for navy football games. They refused comment on reports that scores of midshipmen are under investigation, although it was known that one unidentified middie has been restricted to academy grounds for “a grade A offense” in connection with the scalping of 400 tickets. The case of the seized midshipman was serious enough to be referred to secretary ofnavy John L. Sullivan whose ruling was expected to be made public today. The extreme penalty is expulsion from the academy. Reports that more than one midshipman may be involved apparently Stemmed from the academy s formal statement that “irregularities in the handling of football tickets for recent games have been uncovered at the naval academy. A spokesman emphasized that ‘irregularities” was “plural.” The spokesman said there has been “quite a bit of evidence" that football tickets have been “getting into the wrong hands.” Officials said the one midshipman now under restriction was implicated by a civilian who was seized at the academy gates the night of Oct. 15 after an anoymous tip to the academy telephone switchboard that “scalpers are in the yard.” The civilian was carrying a bulging brief case found to contain 400 tickets. The man, who said he was only a “messenger,” was questioned by academy authorities and released. But on the basis of his information, officials seized a midshipman and restricted his activities to attending classes and meals. The academy spokesman declined to say whether the seized tickets were for the Navy-Cornell game on Oct. 18, the Navy-Penn game last Saturday, or both. Tickets for those games were the only ones in circulation at that time. o — Berne Student Is Honored At College Berne, Oct. 28 — Stuart Lehman, son of Mr. and -Mrs. Waldo Lehman of Berne and a sophomore at Bluffton College. Bluffton, Ohio, recently received several outstanding honors at the college. He was admitted as a new member of the Thespian society, a dramatic organization. He was also awarded a scholarship for having attained the highest scholastic mark in his class last year, and was elected president of Ropp Hall. o — More Turkey Half a large turkey yields considerably more cooked meat than a whole small turkey of the same weight, say home economists of department of agriculture. For Instance, an 11-pound half turkey gives 15 to 20 per cent more than an 11-pound whole turkey. o Zollner Pistons—Sheboygan Redskins, Tuesday, Nov. 4.
