2 Nebraska Teammates Grid Victims By United Press ST. EDWARDS, Neb., Nov. 23. "Brutality” of football, blamed for the death of two players here within a week, caused abolishment of the sport at St. Edward’s high school, authorities said today.

Wake died from an abscess, Weed from a fractured skull. Wake had been In the hospital for some time, having received a hip injury in an early-season game.

Sing Sing Eleven ‘Framed’! Cops Use ‘Ringers,’ Win by Proxy

Jty United Pre*M OSSINING, N. Y., Nov. 23.—Now it can be told that the Black and White football team of the Sing ting big house has been “framed!” The team played the police department eleven of Port Jervis, N y„ a small city on the Pennsylvania state line, here Sunday and the police team won “by proxy.' working an old, old racket on the trusting convicts. The score was J3 to 0.

That statement reflects the “spirit of Notre Dame”—the feeling of its players, students, coaches and faculty. They have no desire to detract one whit from Southern California's magnificent comeback which scored two touchdowns and a field goal in the last period and wiped out Notre Dame’s 14-0 lead. Penalized !)0 Yards But if Notre Dame itself accepted its stunning defeat gracefully, many unofficial supporters who claim the South Bend school as their "alma mater” have taken the stand that Southern California rode to victory on penalties inflicted on the Irish at critical moments. Notre Dame was penalized ninety yards to none for Southern California, and three Trojan passes were ruled complete because of interference. The decisions on pass interference helped the Trojans in their two touchdown drives. In this connection, however, these outside Notre Dame supporters are forgetting that Southern California has had some tough breaks and decisions in previous Notre Dame games. There is little doubt that Southern California needed the penalties to win, but as the game was played the Trojans had the bettCT team and deserved the victory. Irish Lapse Noticed One factor which played a large part in sending Notre Dame to defeat was the ease with which the Irish scored their second touchdown. After leading 7-0 at half-time they scored again >p two minute* of play in the third period. It was too easy and the Irish had a mental and physical let down. Another factor that had its place in rousing Southern California to a frenzy that culminated in one of the most thrilling rallies in modern football history was an injury to full back Jim Muisck The mishap was doubtless accidental, but when Musick had to leave the game the Trojans rallied. After Gus Shaver, who left the game in the second period with a bruised eye, had returned to score two touchdowns in the final period, Southern California traveled from its own 18-yard line to Notre Dame’s 13-yard line in less than two minutes of play. With only a minute and a half to go, Johnny Baker, Trojans’ great running guard, kicked a field goal from the 23-yard line which ended Notre Dame’s gridiron monarchy.

California and Northwestern stars, respectively, enabled Green Bay to defeat the New York Giants, 14-10, in its first eastern invasion of the season. A crowd of 40,000 saw Bruder catch a twenty-yard pass for the winning touchdown in the last period.

Notre Dame Moves Out, Purdue Steps Into Title Picture

BY DICK MILLER Notre Dame has passed from the mythical national title picture for the first time in three years. Purdue has stepped back into the Big Ten spotlight for the second time in three campaigns, with a chance to share Western Conference laurels at stake in next Saturday’s battle with Northwestern. These two important grid happenings took place on Hoosier soil Saturday when Hunk Anderson’s mighty Irish eleven bowed to Southern California’s gallant Trojans at

First; Because Hobart won its first football game in three years Saturday. Second: Because the students decided a month ago they wouldn’t shave until their team triumphed. The victory over Rochester university Saturday, 13 to 7, was made all the sweeter because it was that school that launched Hobart's losing streak in November. 1928. Giant firecrackers and roman candles fizzled and sputtered—from long being kept in storage—as the Hobart boys celebrated. Then there was a rush to barber shops for those who had not followed faculty advice to shave earlier in the season.

State H. S. Grid Title Has Several Powerful Claimants

Bv United Press The scramble for the 1931 mythical Indiana high school football championship neared its climax today with indications that several teams still will be undefeated when the season closes. A survey of the situation among the leading contenders revealed that: South Eend Central's 30-to-12 victory over Elkhart gave the South Benders the eastern division title of the Northern Indiana High School Conference and left them a clean record. Bloomfield's hope for a claim to the Wabash valley title was sunk in its 6-to-0 defeat by Linton. Clinton apparently has a clear title to the Wabash vallev title. Its two remaining games are with non-conference teams. But Clinton is not in the undefeated class. Unbeaten Holy Trinity Trounces St. Pats Holy Trinity's powerful eleven trounced St. Pats, 34 to 0, before a record crowd at Pennsy park Sunday.

Bubrick and Brenic scored touchdowns to give Trinity a 20 to 0 lead at half time. The rivals battled on even terms in the third quarter, but Luzar and Wolf scored touchdowns for Holy Trinity in the final period.

Two sensational touchdown drives and a twenty-three-yard field goal from the toe of Johnny Baker, the great Trojan guard, who also place kicked one extra point, brought the sun-kissed boys victory. Southern California also was the last team to whip the South Benders, 27 to 14, in 1928. Remembering the 7 to 6 setback handed them last year by the Crimson, and the great showing of the Hoosiers the previous week against Northwestern, Purdue entered the traditional battle with Indiana determined to overwhelm the fighting Hayes men. A line that was expected to prove easy for the Crimson backs to pierce, proved almost impregnable, while the fleet Boilermakers ball carriers ran rough-shod for three touchdowns against Indiana’s strong forwards. In the first half, Purdue piled up ten first downs, but the Crimson forwards braced at critical moments and the two initial periods were scoreless. Near the close of the half, Indiana held on its 2yard line. Powerful punting by husky Bob Jones saved the Hoosiers, who were on the defensive throughout the battle. Jim Purvis, senior half back, touched off the sensational third quarter scoring spree by the Boilermakers, running seventy-five yards on the first play for a touchdown.
