LLIA Composure of

Panthers Is Vital Factor

Rams May Be Overkeyed in Eagerness to Protect Winning Streak.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 30. — Poise, which is mainly nerve control, is as important on a football field as in the prize ring or on the putting green. The coach who is able to develop a quiet confidence in his ayers has scored a vital point. De in the clutches is often to be preferred $ x to intensity of 5 spirit, To veteran press box observers the most impressive thing about Minnesota’s victory over Purdue last week end - was the calm, precise manner in

wRich the Go-|-

phers went about Williams the task at hand. They took everything in stride, including the trend of the play in the first two quarters which for the most part was in favor of the enemy. It was plain from their behavior throughout the game the coach had made no attempt to key the players to a high point of emotional fire. Apparently he had done no more by way of dressing room oratory than to tell them to go out on the field and play their game. Anyway, that's what they did and generally the performance of a team reflects the mood of the coach. On the other hand, the Purdues Were obviously keyed very highly and when the first breaks of the game began to go against them they faded completely. For a while the importance of .the game and the memories of their two dead teammates, fatally burned in an explosion, was a spiritual tonic which ! stirred them to heroic feats; but when the effects of the tonic wore off the Purdues became disorgan%ed, discouraged and disintegrated.

Gopher Poise Known

It may be well to keep this matfer of poise and composure in mind in debating the possibilities of tomorrow’s games—the two biggest of which bring Pittsburgh and Fordy ham together at the Polo Grounds and Minnesota and Northwestern together in suburban Chicago. The matter-of-fact temperament of the | Minnesoteans -has already been established. How about the others? Personally, I thought the Fordhams were keyed very highly for the game with St. Mary's last weeks This was one game they were determined to win and the intensity of their play showed it. There were frequent fumbles—on both sides, as & maftier of fact—and Mautte, the Fordham's captain, became so pent up that it was necessary to take him out of the game a couple of times. The emotional strain on the Fordhams will be more acute against the powerful Panthers tomorrow than it was against the St. Mary's. The Panthers are a much stronger team than the Saints and the Fordham'’s winning streak has reached a point where it commands national respect and is therefore something to fight for with great fierceness.

Must Prevent Mistakes

Whether the streak will continue uninterrupted depends in no small measure upon the mental attitude the Fordhams bring to the field. They can not afford to make the same mistakes against Pittsburgh, especially in handling the ball, they did against the Saints. The Panthers are likely to be much more poised than the Fordhams for the simple reason they have no all-winning streak to protect. They have already been knocked off once. Besides these Pittsburgh teams have a habit of playing the game without any touches of hysteria. Jock Sutherland, the coach, is a cool, factual take-it-or-leave-it guy and his teams generally mirror his passivity. How about the Duquesne thing? Well, maybe Jock thought that one was in the bag himself. Considering these intangibles along with the more material items, it seems fairly logical to pick the Panthers to win the game, but I hasten to add this can be no more than a guess at best. I agree by now I should be cured of trying to pick a team to beat the Fordhams but apparently my case is hopeless.

Two other first-rate engagernents were on tap for this afternoon; Shortridge entertaining Crawfordsville at the North Side field and Cathedral playing Manual at Delavan Smith field. Unbeaten Technical was to make its strongest bid for the grid title of the North Central Conference in the tussle with Anderson. The East Siders are batting 1.000 per cent in the N. C.

Under the Dickinson rating system adopted by the conference, Tech will be in a position to boost its total of points to 23.12 and clinch the gonfalon by Walloping the Indians. Anderson has won two and dropped three league tilts for a percentage of .400 and a ranking of sixth in the loop standings. If. Jefferson beats Kokomo the Lafayette boys will gain a total of 22.5 points—and that’s all there is for ‘em, there are no more.

Fans who trek to Bloomington tomorrow for Indiana University’s hom battle with the Hawkeyes of Iowa will be on the lookout for one Ozzie Simmons, pictured here. He weighs 185 pounds, 15 more than he did as a sophomore, and is 5 feet 11 inches tall. . When it comes to carrying the ball, the 21-year-old Texas Negro is considered one of the trickiest and speediest in the game. In ad-

Simmons has a way of using his legs and hips when running which regularly proves the despair of many would-be tacklers. The Negro lad often holds the ball in one huge hand, waving it to and fro almost in the faces of the tacklers. He says this motion helps him to retain better balance. Ozzie, now playihg his third season on the Iowa varsity, takes off on his wide end runs and power plunges through the line from a fullback position. He sprinted 59 yards around end on a muddy field to score the touchdown which gave Iowa a 6-6 tie with Indiana last year. He contributed 119 yards to the Hawkeye cause that afternbon. Ozzie is just half—though perhaps the better half—of another brother ‘act. Ozzie’s brother, Don, plays end on Ossie Solem’s curreni Hawkeye eleven. And whenever Ozzie is in the, lineup youll usually find Brother Don there, too, be~ cause Don and Homer Harris, another Negro, are the only Iowa ends who can handle Ozzie’s bullet passes in capable fashion.

The game is to be staged at Riverside Park. ‘The Riversides won last year in a strenuous struggle, 7-6, and a similar close fray is expected Sunday.

Underdog in Buckeye Tilt

Layden Rallies Squad for Inspired Attempt to Beat Invaders.

BY STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 30.— Underdog Notre Dame, mangled by the Pittsburgh Panthers, rallied its cripples today for another inspired attempt to beat off Ohio State's Buckeyes tomorrow. - : The game would have been the dramatic classic of the year were it not for the Panthers’ bowling ove of both contestants. As it is, t St. Mary’s-Marquette tilt at Chicago tonight outshines the duel here and the Minnesota-Northwestern

conflict at Evanston tomorrow takes

precedence over both of them. The midwestern grid card this week-end also offers Illinois at Michigan—a mutual contest for the first conference victory of the year; Chicago at Wisconsin—a traditional battle between Big Ten underdogs; and Iowa at Indiana—an attempt to retrieve shattered hopes.

* Sellout Is Forecast

Fifty-five thousand fans will jam Notre Dame's brownstone stadium tomorrow with the first sellout crowd in its history on the chance the Irish can produce the same miracle that routed Ohio State in the turbulent fourth quarter at Columbus last fall. - The Buckeyes swept on to South Bend with a desire to wipe out the 18-to-13 humiliation by Pittsburgh with an overwhelming score. The Irish, backs to the wall, were as desperate as in 1935. Notre Dame’s 26-to-0 defeat by Pitt crippled the squad physically but provided much of the experience needed. : Will Need Reserves Coach Elmer Layden likely will need every ounce of defensive strength he can throw into the game, for Francis Schmidt, iwice beaten with a team he thought invincible, will gamble on a Br | house attack. Many made the Bucks a hea favorite on comparative Pittsburg scores, but “I think it’s a tossup and we expect a whale of a battle,” Schmidt said.
