Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK, Oct. 26. What chance has any of the top ranking football teams got to go through the season without spreading its classic features in the mire of defeat? This question came up before the board at the usual mid week meeting to the Fifty-Yard Line Quarter Backs’ Association today and the answer was both pro and con, yes and no and how’s tricks, neighbor? .To begin it doesn't necessarily -follow 6 team toes through the season wltl>put being bowied over tnat it la the best in the land. More than likely it Is merely tops in its own back yard. _ BO f * r hung are the trontlers of highpowered football these days that only an unusual array of circumstances can ever cast any team legitimately in the role of a national champion following a limited schedule of eight or ten games. No one team ever meets all the other K °° d ■ ***, due not only to normal schedule difficulties but to the Inevitable surprises the unfolding of each new season produces. Without warning, a lowlyrated team in October may develop tremendous power and advance to the king row by November. Admittedly, it u simple enough to arrange a fool-proof schedule. All that Is necessary is the same quaint formula employed by managers in rigging up an impressive list of knockouts for a phoney heavyweight. You simply do not schedule any team you can't beat. Still X doubt that this practice Is widespread In football. There is little nourishment In a steady sucker diet and even the most cagey coach is not unwilling to take a gambler s chance once in a while After all, he might win! So. generally speaking, a team that goes through the season unbeaten merits a few cheers. n a a LET'S take a look at the eastern leaders. The picture is not clearly defined. For all anybody knows to the contrary, Colgate might be the best team in this part of the country. True, the Red Raiders have met only one major opponent—New York university—but their winning performance bespoke great power and skill. .u Wha !l <L h anc* has Colgate got to go through the season unbeaten? Offhand I should sav a very good chance. Their four remaining foes are Penn State. Mississippi college Syracuse and Brown, only Brown iigures to be dangerous. The other three scarcely figure to score. Colgate is only one of several unbeaten, untied teams In the east. Others in the same classification are Columbia. Harvard. Holy Crws. Brown and Pennsylvania. Most of these face a sterner test the rest of the wav than does Colgate. Columbia, for instance, not only has Brown left, but. Cornell as well. , i sav h oth Colgate and Columbia fln,,th* SPaß on unbeaten, which would you call the superior? I should give the honor* to Columbia on the ground that Lou Little s young men had to fight harder to get there Even so, that would not in anv wav settle the question of superiority in the east provided one or two of the other teams also managed to keen their records spotless. Columbia hv no means has had the most difficult schedule. Consider Pennsylvania with Dartmouth. Pittsburgh. Ohio. State and Cornell. I am sure even Little ■will agree that Is not exactly an easy assignment. And how about dear old Harvard, with Dartmouth, Brown. Armv, Holy Cross and Yale? Bv Nov. 19 Yale will he a ball team. It always is against Harvard.. Includ'ne the Dartnfouth game, which is out of the wav. Harvard has four hard games In a row- -five. If we are to string with the axiom that Yale is alwavs good against the Crimson. How manv shillings would vou care to wager that Harvard keeps up Its unbeaten pace? I counsel yo" to make it easy on vourself. Nor can anvone accuse Brown of going to anv excessive length to nick on the soft, ones. Prom now on all they have to do to finish with a clran slate is heat Harvard. Holv Cross, Columbia and Colgate on successive Saturday afternoons. If you think that's easv. five will get you ten In the betting temples. tt r k BUT Just between you and me (and if you can get Ruth Etting in on it, too, so much the better), I think that in the matter of hard schedules, Pittsburgh is so far out in front in the east that there isn’t any comparison—unless you care for an odious one, and I hope you do not. I’d rather vote for Foster myself. The Pittsburgh schedule calls for ten frames and includes such menacing foes as Army. Ohio State. Notre Dame. Pennsylvania. Nebraska and Stanford. I think the schedule is too long and too tough for a college team. It is redolent of box office ambitions, and is inconsiderate of the immaturity of vouth. But in anv event, there It is—a tremendous thing. Pittsburgh was held even in a scoreless game with Ohio State last Saturday, a touchdown sortie failing on the one-vard line. What if Pittsburgh should in some fantastic manner, succeed in winning all its remaining games? Well, if you refused to accent it as the hest team in the east—no matter what Harvard. Colgate. Columbia. Pennsylvania and the rest did —vou would be a verv relentless critic, if indeed, vou would not be verv cock-eved.

Star Back j Is Retired Red Compton Out for Year With Torn Leg Ligaments. A crippled and tape-patched Butler squad went through a long practice Tuesday night while trainers worked on the remainder of the varsity in preparation for the Franklin-Butler feud at the bowl Saturday. Eynotten, Ray. Koss, Cline and Elser rejoined the team although considerably handicapped by injuries.

Mackey is altering his formations and drilling on several new plays.

The Blue mentor has been devoting a great deal of Individual work to the new candidates. The Franklin campus is alive with predictions that this is Franklin’s big year. The Grizzlies, with twelve lettermen, appear confident of repeating their triumph of last year, the first win over the Bulldogs in eleven years. Weger Gets Post For the first time in several years of rivalry, Butler will enter the Grizzly fray decidedly an underdog. Handicapped by the lack of reserves and extended injuries, Butler’s makeshift squad will wage an uphill battle to overcome the defeat jinx, which has persued the team in the last three games. Ralph (Lefty) Weger, 150-pound Peru flash, will probably start in Compton's place at left half. Compton, triple-threat star, Is lost for the year withftorn ligaments.

75,000 May See Panther-Irisli Battle; Pitt on Short End

By Time Special PITTSBURGH, Oct. 26.—Everything points to another twist in the Panther's tail this coming Saturday when Notre Dame’s high-scoring machine makes its visit to Pittsburgh. Despite the fact that Pitt is expected to take a lacing at the hands of the Irish, there may be some 75,000 people in the stands to see the game. More than- 45,000 tickets have been sold. Pitt didn't know what sort of a team it was going to have when the season opened, but after the first four games decided that everything was going to be rosy. Then came the Army game and another victory, but during the game the Panthers saw their makeshift front wall riddled by the Cadet running attack, and a secondary defense confused by Army

passes. Ohio State repeated the Army’s performance, being the first team since the Notre Dame eleven of 1931 to outgain the Panthers from scrimmage. The season has been a disappointing one to the Pitt coaches. Capt. Paul Reider has been unable to strike his stride and has been on the bench most of the year, and will likely remain there Saturday. The interference has been slow in coming out, and the passing attack has been spasmodic in its effectiveness. Leave out the great work by Warren Heller, and Pitt's record would be far below the usual standard. Pitt came out of the Ohio game badly battered, and Jock Sutherland is going to be hard-pressed to find a starting eleven for the Notre Dame game. The only hope is *hat the Panthers will be “up” for the game

cago Bears’ plunger, and Jack Grossman, Brooklyn newcomer, are within reach of the leaders. Nagurski has 244 yards and Grossman 242 yards.

Cox Wins on Points Tracy Turns to Boxing and Outscores Rival; Slaughter Cops. Tracy Cox was not the stiff puncher of former days when he tackled Prince Saunders of Chicago in the main go at the state fairground coliseum Tuesday night, but he brought enough boxing skill into play to gain the decision over the flashy Negro. Moreover, there was more sting to the blows landed by the Indianapolis mauler, and the verdict belonged to him on points. The margin was not great, however. He was held to a draw by Saunders in a previous match held in the Windy City. The Indianapolis pride knew he had been in a fight, and was rather tired in the closing stanza. His left eye was bruised and he carried away other marks of punishment, but Saunders was “kicked up” plenty himself, and the last bell was a welcome sound to both lads. They fought at a fast pace, and while there were no knockdowns, Tracy’s knees sagged at one time, but he recovered swiftly and went on to please his followers. The main event maulers weighed in at 137, two pounds over the official lightweight limit, and it was the general opinion of the ringsters that both have outgrown the 135-pound class. The show was staged bv the Pontiac A. C. and was switched from the Manufacturers’ building to the Coliseum. Four scraps were held and attendance was about 6,000. In the semi-windup ten-rounder Sammy iKid) Slaughter. Terre Haute Negro, defeated Jackie Purvis. Indianapolis, bv a wide margin., Slaughter had too manv gloves and too much weight advantage for Purvis to handle. Tlj,e winner scaled 161 and the loser 153. Results of other bouts: Willard Brown.

Brilliant Career Ended

By United Press LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.—“ It’s the breaks of the game, I guess.” That was the only comment of Orville Mohler, Southern California’s allAmerica quarter back, when informed Tuesday that his brilliant collegiate football career had ended. The famous signal-caller, spark plug of the Trojan offertfce, was retired for the season when it was discovered he had two broken neck vertebrae. Danger of paralysis or even death should further injury be inflicted prompted Dr. Packard Thurber, head of the U. S. C. medical department, to order Mohler’s removal. The heart-broken player turned in his suit to Coach Howard Jones Tuesday. The 165-pound flash, a star with last year’s national championship eleven, has played his last game for the Trojans. He is a senior.

Cruising in Sportland—with Eddie Ash

SOME football coaches do strange things. For instance, there’s Doc Spears at Wisconsin. After the Badgers, defeated Coe college last Saturday, Spears ordered his warriors to remain on the field and stage a practice 101 the game with Ohio State this week. Or maybe the coach used that method to wear down the boys so they would be too tired to gallop over the week-end. n n Southern California defeated Stanford by two touchdowns and Coach Pop Warner of the losers said just a couple of ltftky passes beat him. Evidently the “Warner system’’ doesn’t include a defense for the overhead came. Anyway, when Notre Dame defeated Stanford New Year’s day, 1925. old Pop first sprung that alibi about Irish horseshoes when the Hooslor pastimers intercepted a couple of his tosses and ran for touchdowns. Old Pop asserted Stanford was the better team despite the defeat "because his boys had made more first downs. He was squelched by the late Knute Rockne. who mentioned that in baseball “left on bases’’ don't mean runs. n tt n THE Purdue Boilermakers have been held scoreless only once in their last forty-six games, and have .lot lost in their last ten tilts.
