Van-Every Carries Load
Once more Minnesota's attack depends largely on Harold Van Every, the best passer of Coach Bernie Bierman’s regime. Van Every has been in the Gopher backfield since his sophomore year and is the key man despite troublesome injuries all last season. Against Arizona, he flashed more speed than ever, once racing 66 yards to a touchdown and passing for two more of the nine Minnesota scored.
Minnesota and : Nebraska top a seven-game schedule involving Big Ten teams next Saturday. The schedule marks the unveiling of the co-favorites—Michigan and Northwestern—and darkhorse Ohio State. “Michigan meets its old rival, Michigan State, Northwestegn tackles Oklahoma, Ohio State plays Missouri, Wisconsin meets: Texas, Wa-

Football Scout Now Treated as Guest, But Even So His Life Is Not Easy One
By ELMER LAYDEN Notre Dame Football Coach SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 2.—“So I think. you ought. to use a lot of passes against S. M. us’ concludes Dopester Dan. Perhaps this -is the best of advice, but you may be sure we'll confer with’ out scouts before we commit ourselves, It’s true that ‘valuable hints. reach us from unofficial sources. But only a ‘member of the staff, who knows the strength and'weakness of the team for whom he’s scouting,’ is qualified to make a conclusive ‘report. A football scout makes a real sacrifice. Usually he’s an’ assistant coach; so his: first desire is to see his‘own team in action. Every weekend he’s a person divided. His body and mind are out scouting the enemy; his heart is where his team is. I've often been asked about the routine of scouting. The scout is on the scene of the|: game early enough to sharpen. his pencils, arrange his notebeok, look | over his program, rehearse names and numbers of “all the|W players likely to appear, “and watch warmup. : During the game he obsérves primarily his opponents’ f nationsand
formations and plays as they develop. °
Most of the dcout’s writing is done between halves and after the ‘game. He extends his brief notes, clarifies his diagrams; pulls some rabbits out of his memory. Finally; he transfers all his observations, with diagrams, to a form which he submits to the head coach. .Dis~ cussion, studded with question and answer, follows. Twenty years ago a football scout was generally an alumnus or friend of the coach who furtively jotted observations on his cuff. The spy of the past is now a welcomed guest. Cramped press quarters may still compel the scout to sit in the open stands, but no longer is he exposed to the threat of tar and feathers. Where he used to brave cold, rain and’ snow. to obtain information, inowadaysy he often sits in a com|fortable press coop. Between halves {Ine ‘is “served coffee and food—and it’s on the home team.

Favorites With Title Hopes Tumble Early
Southern California and Texas Christian Slip at Start of 1939 Football Sedson.
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK; Oct. 2—That loud noise that roared across the Rockies over the week-end was two top-flight football teams fallingoff the ladder that leads to the national championship. Southern California and Texas Christian, giants of the 1938 season, have stumbled at the start of the race. U. C. L. A. knocked Texas Christian out of the running and Southern California’s ford already’ is tarnished by a 7-to-7 tie with Oregon.
Southern California still can redeem its season provided it can get through a schedulé that includes such -tough ones as California, Oregon State and Notre Dame. As for Texas Christian, victors in the Sugar Bowl last year—well, they have their memories. ; Pitt Surprises The Pacific Coast almost had a monopoly on the week-end’s surprises. The University of Pittsburgh, a powerhouse ‘along the ground in Jock Sutherland's day, turned into a great passing outfit and won a surprising 27 to 6 victory over a Washington team that figured to do better. ""Many of the nation’s top teams have yet to see action, but by this time next week the picture should be fairly clear. Among those who will get the acid test this week are: Northwestern; reputedly three deep in strong material, which goes up against a classy. Oklahoma team.

The Cubs won their finale from the Cardinals, 2-1, but they fell half a game short of tying the Dodgers. The Reds finished 412 games ahead of the Cards by splitting with the Pirates. Harry Gumbert blanked the Bees, 5-0, for his 18th victory, but the Giants remained in fifth place, Cleveland beat the Tigers, 8-3, then lost 1-0.
