Ronzani Runs Any Place

TWO great backs furnish most of the offensive power for Marquette’s husky Hilltoppers, beaten but once in the last three seasons, who play Butler at the Bulldog bowl here Saturday. Eugene Ronzani, 185-pound sophomore quarter, is one of the young men who goes out and gets yards when the Golden Avalanche needs ’em. He smashes lines and gallops in the open field. His hard-to-stop running mate is Johnny Sisk, the big train, 185-pound half back.

So closely did the Bruins follow the ball that they recovered three of four St. Mary’s fumbles, and permitted the Gaels to complete only five of twenty-two attempted passes. And using the Moragans own punch, they completed four passes of their own for a total of 78 yards. The first of these passes came with the game only three minutes old when Bergdahl passed 13 yards to Decker on the two yard line, and the latter ran across the goal line unmolested. In the next period, Bergdahl faded back to the 42 yard line and hurled the ball to Wellendorf who scored standing up.

This is a direct reflection on the reputations of all Columbia football players.”

I. U. Hopes to Renew Jinx Over Wildcats Saturday

By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 12. Indiana backers are making no pretention about thinking Coach Billy Hayes’ Hoosiers stack up favorably against Northwestern in pre-game dope. But they remember the three consecutive upset setbacks handed superior Wildcat elevens by the Crimson from 1927 to 1929 and are hoping for the Hoosiers to renew their jinx Saturday at Evanston. Northwestern broke the spell last year with a 25 to 0 victory in the I. U. home-coming. In nineteen battles since 1899, Northwestern has won eleven verdicts, Indiana eight. Superior reserve strength will give the Purple a decided edge in Saturday's battle. Coach Hayes will take three complete elevens to Evanston Saturday, and plans to use every player. Hayes" continued to build up his flank defense for the game. Lyons, giant Negro end, may be ready for action Saturday after being out of the Ohio State and Michigan games with a twisted ankle. If he is ready to start, one of Hayes big worries will be lifted, for Lyons not only is a stellar pass receiver but a bear on defense. Opasik also may be able to see action in at least part of Saturday’s game, and again will be the keyman of Indiana's air attack from the quarter back position. Vic Dauer and Stan (Five-Yard) Saluski will be at the half back berths with Jones at full back. In a second back field, Ray Dauer

Navy is learning anew system, the Rockne system, under Rip Miller, 1924 all-America tackle at Notre Dame; Christy Flanigan, former Irish back field star, and Johnny O’Brien, stellar wing under Rockne in 1929 and 1930. The Irish are expected to win Saturday as they please. Steve Banas, injured full back who has been out since the Drake game, is ready for work again, but the excellent work of George Melinkovich, another sophomore, may relegate him to & second-string, role.

An Irish fumble on their own 39yard line in the third quarter and remarkable bali-toting by Jones accounted for Clinton’s marker. Cathedral braced on the 12-yard line, but a penalty set them back their 1-yard line. Mueller’s kick traveled only to the 17-yard stripe, and Jones carried the ball to the 2yard mark from scrimmage. It took four plays for him to take it over from there. The place-kick for extra point struck the upright and bounced back. Cathedral was on the defense throughout the rest of the game. Antonini played the entire game with a broken collar bone and kicked and passed brilliantly, De Sasso and Jones were Clinton luminaries, while Breen, Sweeney, Ford and McCormick were outstanding for Cathedral. *
