GOPHERS NOW HEAVY FAVORITES TO WIN BIG 10 TITLE
Indiana S Still Has Chance to Share Crown
Need Victory Over Purdue If Minnesota and Ohio State Lose.
By STEVE SNIDER
United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 15. — Minnesota became a heavy favorite today to salve its disappointing defeats by Nebraska and Notre Dame with a victory over Wisconsin and an undisputed ‘Big Ten title. The once-mighty Gophers, bumped both-times they stepped owt of the Conference against major opposition, nevertheless rolled into the final week of the season the only undefeated team in the Conference campaign. Their latest victim was Northwestern, 7 to 0. The Wildcats, keyed to greater fury than they were in 1936 when they dumped the Gophers at the end of a 21-game winning streak, were -crippled too badly to hold their own and fell under a swift assault five minutes after the kickoff. . when -Captain Ray King scored on a fourteen-yard pass from Harold Van Avery. It was King's fifty-two-yard dash with an intercepted pass that set up the lone Minnesota thrust.
Buckeyes Regain Stride
Wisconsin invades Minnesota Saturday, Ohio.

The Buckeyes made sho'rt work of Bob Zuppke's stout defense and outclassed the Illini virtnally every minute of the way. Indiana, another team with at least a share of the championship within reach if the Gophers are hsaten and Ohio State loses, was uninpressive against Iowa and barely Vicked off a 3-to-0 victory on Cener CGyeorge Miller's 14-yard field goal in the fourth period. Indiana was outgained for four periods. checked without a first down until the final drive that carried the Hoosiers deep enough for Miller's goal. Isbell Makes Amends
The longest forward pass of the Conference season brought Purdue a tie with Wisconsin after the passine hero, Cecil Isbell, had opened th~ wav Tor « Wisconsin touchdown by fumbling on the 10-yard line. Isbeli made amends in the second period by catapulting a 55-yard pass to Jim Zachary, who sprinted the remaining 17 yards to the goal. Score: Purdue, 7; Wisconsin, 7. Michigan won its fourth in a row at Pennsylvania, 7 to 0. After muffing a legitimate soning chance in the first period, Michigan advanced half the distance to the goal—32 yards—on a slugging penalty and wound up the drive with a short pass, ‘Stark Ritchie to Norm Purucker in the end zone.

Makes Grooved Bi Ball For Golf Duffers
CLEVELAND, Nov. 15 (U. P).—A hook and slice- reducing golf ball is being introduced here by its inventor, John R. Farrar. Farrar, a structural designer in the engineering. department of the Erie Railroad, “has played golf for eight years. He usually shot around 92 and sometimes got down to 85 when the course was conditioned and the wind blowing his way. He tried to induce a friend tc take up golf, but was met with the reply: “I'll play when somebody invents a ball that won't slice.” So Farrar acted. He designed a ball with cight circular grooves. His theory is that if the ball is struck on either side, producing a hook or slice, the ball will rotate without creating turbulent air currents. The amount of hook of slice would be reduced by about 25 per cent, Farrar contends.
SERIES OF BOXING SHOWS PLANNED
Frankie Kolborn of Waterloo, Towa, will meet Simon Nebolsky, Cincinnati, O., in the feature bout of the first of a series of semimonthly boxing shows to be staged Friday night by the Hercules A. C.

Kolborn has won four of his last six fights by knockouts and recently gained a close decision over Nebolsky. Several local fighters will be in the supporting card.

By JOE WILLIAMS
Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Despite the fact this has been a turbulent football season, shot with the strange and inexplicable, preseason expectations in the broader sense have held up reasonably well. Pittsburgh, Fordham and Yale
were predicted to set the pace in the East and they
have been doing
just that. Pittsburgh has had a tremendous season, Fordham one of its best and Yale apparently dominates the Big Three and a large section of the sagged ivy group. Minnesota has been a disappointment as a national factor, having been bhealen twice, but continues to exercise an authoritative voice in the Big Ten, which is also in line with the dope. With only Wisconsin remaining to be played, the Golden Gophers figure to end the 1937 schedule unbeaten in the Conference . Before the season started no team in the country was more highly rated by the experts of .its own sections than California. This rating seems to have been amply justified. California started out by slaughtering St. Mary's and kept up a dazzling pace for six weeks. It wasn't until Saturday a week ago that the Bears were halted. Washington check-mated them in a scoreless tie. The Bears are still unbeaten and the leading choice for the Rose Bowl. They have two more games scheduled, one with Stanford, the other with Georgia Tech. The latter is tentative. It can be dropped if the Bears are selected for the Bowl. To be selected all they need do is best Stanford this week.
Stanford Impressive
Beating Stanford may not be so easy. Apparently the Palo Alto Indians have just begun to roll. They were impressive in crushing Washington State 23-0 Saturday. Comparative scores run for your Mr.
Sweeney but they make interesting speculation. California beat the same team 27-0. This may or may not indicate the two Coast powers are on fairly even terms. Incidentally, Stanford's performance Saturday does not come as happy tidings for the under-manned and over-scheduled Columbia tram which will meet the Indians later in the month. No matter how vigorously Lou Little, the Columbia coach, attempts to defend the scundness of Columbia's booking policy, the fact remains that he Hasn't the material. And except in fortuitous circumstances, seldom
FRED CLARKE NAMED SEMIPRO PRESIDENT
NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (U. P). — Fred Clarke, former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was named president of the National Association of Semipro Baseball Leagues in America today by Honus Wagner, commis-
sioner of sandlot baseball. Wagner explained that sandlot baseball leagues were being organized into one association patterned after organized baseball. He said more than 1000 leagues would hold membership next year. League players will be signed under one-year semipro contracts that forbids change of team or league without release from team managers. Violators will be outlawed from semipro baseball for two years, and any club which signs an ineligible player will be barred forever from any league or tournament governed by the Semipro Baseball Congress. Clarke will act upon eligibility of all league player contracts.

Harper to Spot Davis 10 Pounds
Although Paul Harper, Houston, Tex. will spot Big Boy Davis 10 pounds, the former hopes to continue his winning streak when the two clash in the Armory wrestling headlifier tomorrow night. Davis, former Ohio State University athlete and an aggressive grappling performer ,scales 236 and Harper 226. Harper 1s a former athlete and divinity student from Southern Methodist University. Promoter Lloyd Carter has a newcomer on the hill in Tarzan Jordan, 216, Florida. He tackles the rough and tumble Babe Zaharias, 235, Pueblo, Colo. A rematch serves as the semiwindup and is for 45 instead of the customary 30 minutes with Pete Peterson, 225. Minneapolis, opposing Irish Dan O'Connor, 222, Boston. They drew recently in a half-hour tug. Pete is undefeated here.

. SEEKS FURTHER LAURELS
Here is Miss Henry in action during the Betty may go out for national
season. On top of that they rallied from a 13-13 tie with Kansas to give the great Pittsburgh team a whale of a battle Saturday. If it hadn’t been for a fumble late in the game they might conceivably have come out of that game with a 7-6 win, football being what it is. In the final analysis, however, the better team won. By now it should be plain that it is unwise to score first against Pittsburgh. The Panthers don't seem to get interested in the game until they are behind. They came from behind to beat Carnegie Tech, Notre Dame and Nebraska on successive week-ends and in each instance they made it decisive. Perhaps it’s just as well that Fordham didn’t score against them.
It Would Come Close
Which again reminds me that the game to end all games would be a
return meeting between Pittsburgh and Fordham. You may recall they played a scoreless tie earlier in the season—their third successive tie in as many years. This game, played either in Yankee Stadium or Pitt Stadium, would be a sellout and would be the big game of the year. It might not decide the national championship but it would come so close there wouldn't be many dissenters, You say this would be commercialism? What of it? And what do you suppose the Rose Bowl game is—a holy pilgrimage? Given good weather the two competing teams in the Bowl will split close to $150,000.
If there are to be playoffs let's |
have playoffs that mean something Right now you can’t name a more authentic playoff than Pitt and Fordham.

ing basketball season. Aces of Evansville will entertain the Hanover Panthers at Evansville Saturday in a Conference game and Rose Poly will play Shurtleff at lerre Haute in a nonleague tilt. THe season curtain fell for a majority of conference teams last week-end in a football menu that proved to be a smashing climax to a campaign marked by close competition from the beginning. A halfdozen teams pounded hard at the conference door and, indicative of the closeness of the fight, Butler University’s state champion Bulldogs managed to maintain their unmarred victory record only by fighting to a scoreless tie with the Little Giants of Wabash a week ago. DePauw University’s fighting Tigers clinched second place in the League race by rolling over Wabash, 32 to 0, in the 45th renewal of one of the oldest gridiron rivalries in the Midwest. The game gave the Tigers possession of the famed Monon Bell, symbol of victory in the DePauw-Wabash feud since 1889. Besides stepping into runner-up position in the conference race and obtaining possession of the Monon Bell, DePauw’s performance carried additional honors for the Tigers. Not since 1915 when Wabash trounced DePauw, 34 to 0, had either of the teams marked up such a topheavy score in the ancient grid rivalry. The win gave DePauw a conference record of seven victories against one defeat, a 12-to-0 drubbing by the Butler Bulldogs two weeks ago. At Butler Bowl a crowd of 7500 saw a Bulldog string of five consecutive victories over out-of-state foes snapped as a flashy team from Western State, Kalamazoo, Mich, defeated the conference champions, 14 to 13. A Thrilling Climax The game proved to be a thrilling climax to the Bulldog season. Deadlocked, 7to 7,as they went into the final period, each team drove over anotner touchdown in the closing minutes of play. A missed Butler kick gave the Michigan invaders the margin of victory. Butler, previously beaten only by Purdue, displayed the same offensive power that carried them to the Conference championship. They were bewildered, however, by the invader's accurate passing attack which penertated their defense for consistent gains. The Bulldogs completed the season with five victories, two defeats and one tie—including Conference and non-Conference games. Ball State's Cardinals and the Franklin Grizzlies concluded their season at Muncie by battling to a 5-tc-6 deadlock. Both teams drove over touchdowns in the first period and waged a defensive battle throughout the remainder of the game. Franklin scored when Atkinson, Grizzly center, intercepted a Cardinal pass on his own 35-yard line
