Hoosierland’s Big Three Go Down for Count Against Ohio
Thompson
State, Pittsburgh and Minnesota; Other Indiana Teams Take Part in Thrillers.
HE collective investment made in “big time” football stock by Hoosierland’s Big: Three over the week-end,
resulted in bankruptcy.
Although Indiana made an acceptable showing against a rejuvenated Ohio State team, Purdue went the way of all flesh at the hands of Minnesota, and Notre Dame was cast
aside by the fiery Pitt with a goose egg while the Panthers gnawed contentedly on 26 points. It was evident soon after the start of Indiana’s game at Columbus that Ohio State was bent on sticking its nose
out of the dog house.
There were seven punts in the first
period and the Hoosiers never had the ball on offense within
65 yards of Ohio’s goal line.
About the only show of touted Ohio State “razzle dazzle” was the forward-double-lateral pass from Dye to Wendt to McDonald to Dye again, which made only three yards against
Indiana’s well-informed team.
But when the Buckeyes took to
slicing off Indiana’s bruised and battered (Nebraska 13, Indiana 9) tackles and ends, they gained fairly consistently.

OBLY did the Indiana boys stop the desperate drive made by the Buckeyes in the last quarter. The Ohio team made five consecutive first downs in their 65-yard dash. The Hoosiers held until the fourth down when the Buckeyes passed over the goal line. The pass would have been a scorer except for the work of Harry Cherry, the former Washington
High School star.
He leaped high in the air and batted the
pass down, batted it down with a bruised and swollen hand which had been stepped on in the Nebraska game. . Indiana should polish off a successful season from now
on in.
They meet lowa Saturday for home-coming, then
Syracuse and Chicago before meeting Purdue Nov. 21.

N the face of it, the Pitt victory over Notre Dame is an uncalled for black eye. But Notre Dame hasn’t met the
likes of Pittsburgh for some time.
Even then, 26 points is a
humiliating margin of defeat for a Notre Dame team to
swallow.
But it was well earned. The Irish failed to make
a first down until the last part of the third quarter and only
made four against 15 for Pitt in the entire game. Pittshurgh |
gained 325 yards to 73 for Notre Dame.
After seeing Ohio State come back Saturday we'll say that Elmer Layden’s boys will have their hands full next |
Saturday against the Buckeyes.

URDUE’S Big Ten hopes went sailing at the end of a 33 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Gophers who should be feeling pretty confident with the Boilermakers out of the way. Bo McMillin said at the beginning of the season that nobody would beat Minnesota unless it was Purdue. The Lafayette boys also face a tough foe next week-end in Carnegie Tech. The Tech passing attack is top-notch dnd if it isn’t stopped in the beginning is almost fool-proof -as far
as touchdowns are concerned.
There was no way to explain the Purdue demise except that the Gophers were just too good for them.

Coach Pete Vaughan’s Cavemen went inte high gear Saturday against Butler and<held the Hinkle men to a sur-
prising 9 to 7 victory.
After Wabash, on a pass from Pack to Cooney, scored in the second quarter, Butler seemed to awaken from its lethargy long enough for Frank Welton to dash 58 yards for Butler's only touchdown. A blocked punt in the last quarter gave the Bulldogs their small margin of victory. Butler meets Franklin Saturday for the home-coming at the local stadium. Wabash comes to grips with Evansville.

chance.
Kermit Arnold, De Pauw tackle, broke through and blocked a Manchester punt, giving De Pauw the ball on Manchester's 11-yard line. Then Coach Neal surprised the spectators by sending in Chuck Kendall, halfback, who had been

MINNESOTA HANGS UP NEW VICTORY MARK Hoosiers Finish on Short
Gophers Are Approaching Third Crown
Northwestern Is Seen as Last Major Test for Bierman Team.
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—The third consecutive national football championship was close to realization for Minnesota today after the most im-
pressive display of power seen on an American gridiron this year. The Gophers’ smashing defeat of Purdue’s hitherto undefeated, untied Boilermakers, 33 to 0, Saturday made Bernie Bierman’s squad the favorite to defeat Northwestern next week-end, last major obstacle in the path to the mythical title. Iowa, Texas and Wisconsin have shown: nothing this season capable of stopping the Gopher steamroller in their three final tilts. Only Northwestern's Wildcats, leaders in Big Ten competition, after their third conference victory, 13 to 2, over Illinois, are conceded a chance of retarding the Bierman outfit, which’ has rolled up 21 straight victories to top Notre Dame’s generally recognized record of 20.
Mighty Dukes Falls
As Purdue dropped from the. undefeated class, eight other teams with title hopes faded from the championship picture. Duke was stopped by Tennessee, 15 to 13, leaving Dixie without an untied, unbeaten major eleven. Texas A. and M. was held to a scoreless tie by Baylor; Notre Dame was swamped by Pitt, 26 to 0; Mich-
fore Mississippi, 14 to 0; Georgetown was held 7-7 by N. Y. U.; North Carolina was blanked 21-0 by Tulane; and Duquesne was upset 2-0 by West Virginia Wesleyan. Those major elevens to begin the

Art Hartsfeldt, Toledo, holds .the point lead in the Midwest racing circuit by virtue of his triple victory last week at the Fairground.

In an upset victory in the American League, the Syracuse club scored its first win of the year, 16 to 7, over Boston.
