: Indiana Pulls Old Squeeze Play to Top Scrappy Syracuse : Team; Fordham Rams Toot Own Horns = at Purdue’s Expense.

: HE Scrappin’ Hoosiers were probably breathing a collective sigh of relief today. Saturday, in a mixture of dull and semi-brilliant football, they pulled themselves up by their own boot-straps and won by a nose from Syracuse, 9 to 7. Syracuse gridders, on the other hand, were feeling pretty good today. They came the nearest to winning a big time game Saturday that they have come this year. Their only win has been against Clarkson, the first game of the season. Coach Bo McMillin started his shock troops against the under-rated Syracuse Orange-men, and it looked for a minute or so as if they would be able to stay the full game. But mainly because of Vannie Albanese, the slippery eel of the Warriors’ backfield, Indiana found itself at the short end of a 7-to-0 score before the first quarter was over. Albanese gave the Hoosiers notice that he was going to be troublesome when he ran the opening kick-off back 40 yards right through the center of the Indiana team. After "He had returned a punt to the 43-yard line during the first period, Albanese pulled one of the slickest fake reverse plays this side of the Alleghenies has seen in some time. The ball was in about 10 yards from the sidelines. Albanese got the ball from center, drifted for several steps as he faked the ball to the other halfback. The fake was so perfect that few of the boys on the field to say nothing of the fans in the stands knew where the ball was until a second or so later they saw Vannie streaking down the south sideline with the ‘speed of a bullet. He wasn’t touched by an Indiana player on the touchdown run. That’s how deceptive the play was. Albanese also booted the try for point.

'MILLIN countered by sending in a new team but Syracuse held them to a six-point touchdown. Sparky Miller, Hoosier center missed the try for point, then came back in the third quarter to put his toe behind the winning placekick, which gave Indiana their much-needed margin of victory. It was not so much a case of Indiana looking poor against the Easterners as it was that the Syracuse team looked much better than expected against Indiana. Indiana takes off for Chicago Saturday where they will play the last of a series with the Windy City team. = = ” = » ® LTHOUGH Butler today is the possessor of its third Indiana Conference title in as many years, the Bulldogs’ victory over Valparaiso Saturday, 41 to 0, took on a shallow perspective as the tragedy of Spero Costas’ death Saturday night in an automobile accident came home to the team and students. Costas’ spunky courage pulled the Bulldogs through the close 9-to-7 victory over Wabash while the little fellow was playing with his leg in everything but a cast. Emerson Musgrave was, for the second week, the outstanding player on the Butler team. He scored two touchdowns and was his usual adept self on defense. Butler en- - tertains Western State Teachers College of Kalamazoo next Saturday, in the final Bulldog tilt. = = ” 2 ” 2 PURDUE lacked scoring drive to upset the Fordham Rams, who can almost smell the Rose Bowl already, and went down to a 15-to-0 defeat. Johnny Drake’s unfortunate fumbles, and Fordham’s unexpected ability to go places when they did get the ball, were

was there, and that’s enough to stop any eleven. Next Saturday, as a prelude to the Indiana-Purdue game, Nov. 21, the Boilermakers take on Iowa. It may prove to be a breather for the Lafayette men since Ozzie Simmons, who is practically Iowa, was held to a total gain of one yard in Jowa’s tussle with Minnesota Saturday. Of course, there’s the fact that the Gophers beat Purdue 33 to 0 also to be considered. ® = = ” ” ” NOTRE DAME had another victory spoiled when Bill Ingram, last of a long line of grid stars, drop-kicked one through the goal posts at the beautiful Baltimore stadium, and snatched a 3-to-0 win for his team, Navy, from the “comeback road” Irish. We would guess that Notre Dame’s unprecedented schedule was beginning to tell. After all, you can’t have your box office cake and eat it too. The Fighting Irish go up against the Army Saturday. They will probably have a new respect for the man in uniform by then. 2 » = ” » » UGH SPENCER, son of William Gear Spencer, Franklin's president, was one of the stars in the Franklin-Wabash game, won by the latter, 21 to 0. The Wabash victory came mostly from the air. The two teams have played since 1886 and Wabash has won 11 games, Franklin 4 and there was one tie, Scoring its first points against De Pauw in six years, Earlham fought valiantly to hold the Tigers to a 19-to-6 victory. The Quakers used passes to put over their lone tally. The Manchester Spartans out-rushed the Ball State Teachers Saturday, in a flashy offensive battle which ended 21 to 13 in Manchester's favor. Sapp and Banet, Manchester’s stars, accounted for all of their team’s points, the former scoring 12 and Banet 9. : 3 Hanover lost its first home-coming game in four years to Evansville, 19 to 0, and Central Normal - of Danville swamped Oakland City, 45 to 6, in the former’s last game of the season.. Williams of Central Normal scored three touchdowns in the second quarter.

Victory Over Purdue Aids Rams’ | Hopes

Marquette, Alabama Still in Running for. Bid, However.

BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Jim Crowley began grooming his Fordham Rams today for a trip to Pasadena, Cal, where they, as the leading exponents of Eastern football, should meet the topnotch Western eleven in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. The Rams took the inside track for the East’s nomination with a convincing 15-to-0 victory Saturday over Purdue’s Boilermakers whose only defeat of the year came at the hands of Minnesota's Gophers. The Rams, after a heavy early schedule including Southern Methodist, St. Mary's and Pittsburgh, have only to hurdle two minor obstacles—Georgia and New York University—to get through their schedule undefeated. The Crowley squad is idle for the next two weeks and should either of those teams gain even a tie, it would be a startling upset. The only blemish on the Fordham record is the 0-0 tie played with Pitt, leaving the Rams’ claim to the Eastern. championship uncontested.

Others in Running However, two other teams, Marquette and Alabama, still are in the running for a bid to the Rose Bowl classic. Marquette lost prestige

by being held to a 7-6 decision over Creighton Saturday, but still boasts an unbeaten, untied record. The Crimson Tide, although held to a scoreless tie early in the season by Tennessee, boosted its stock with a 34-7 win over Tulane, once-tied and undefeated previously this year. Northwestern, outstanding candidate for the mythical national championship because of a .victory over Minnesota, clinched the Big Ten Conference title by beating Wisconsin, 26 to 18. Western Conference rules prohibit members from engaging in post-season games, and the Wildcats are out as far as the Rose Bowl is concerned. Santa Clara, the nation’s only other major “perfect record” team, was idle. Four unlooked for upsets featured the week-end program—two in the East and two in the Far West. Navy kicked a field goal and defeated Notre Dame, 3 to 0, and Chick Meehan’s little Manhattan Jaspers downed Kentucky, 13 to 7. University of Southern California and Washington State, who had played to a tie previously and were leading contenders for the Pacific Coast Conference championship, were both stopped.

Irish Pass Clicks, But Navy Wins

Here’s' a situation to test any passer—a horde of elemy players charging at you with mad-bull force. And Bob Wilkie, Notre Dame ace, passes the test Calmly he looks over the field, picks his receiver, whips his arm forward and the ball soars away. Now let Navy's warriors collide

with flying colors,

with him. On this play during the game at Baltimore Saturday, the ball was received by Wojcihovski, 25 yards down the field, to put Notre Dame in scoring position—but without avail. Navy won, 3-0, when young Bill Ingram kicked a field goal in th third quarter.

for National F ootball Title

Michigan, Notre Dame Left on Northwestern’s . Schedule.

BY STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent EVANSTON, Ill, Nov. 9.—Undisputed conference champions over the severest route the Big Ten could offer, Northwestern pointed its surprising Wildcats today for the two remaining games which may send the Purple football banner flying over the nation for the first time in history. Defeat of Michigan and Notre Dame, expected in the wake of Northwestern's methodical = drive

| through October, would leave the

Wildcats the ranking unbeaten, untied eleven. and first in line for coveted national honors. Not even the great Purple teams of 1930 and 1931 established such uncontested claims. : i Anticlimaxing their stunning upsets of Minnesota and Ohio State, the Wildcats clinched the conference crown against Wisconin Saturday, 26 to 18, and almost paid the penalty of being champion before they had won it. The listless eleven Wisconsin scored against three times never could have whipped Minnesota. It never could have halted Ohio State’s razzle dazzle nor its dangerous forward passing. Team Showed Letdown This Northwestern team Saturday reflected a major letdown, although it had the offensive power to. correct its defensive mistakes.

Bellin, shifty Badger sharpshooters, clicked 19 of 30 forward passes attempted, two for touchdowns and three more driving the ball into position for the third Wisconsin score.

The Wildcats were bewildered by

the attack, but they had Steve Toth, who scored against Minnesota; Dcn Heap, Don ‘Geyer, Ollie Adelman and Bernie Jefferson. There was Quarterback Fred Vanzo and a

hard-charging line to clear the way ||

for them. Four times they pushed the length of the field and scored. Marquette, second of the Middle West’s major undefeated and untied teams, also suffered from overconfidence and had to rely on a
