NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (U.P.).—Picking up the pieces after last week's upsets and trying to select winners in this week-end’s important football

games: . MIDWEST Notre Dame over Southern Methodist—This may be the one in which the Notre Dame attack starts attacking. Purdue Over Minnesota — But probably too close for comfort. Indiana Over Wisconsin—The Hoosiers are learning how to score. Northwestern, Over Ohio State— Out on the end of a long limb on the chance that Northwestern will be fighting mad. Nebraska Over Iowa State—By plenty. ; Michigan Over Iowa—Kinnick of Jowa is Big Ten’s best passer, but Michigan has the edge on firstteam strength. | Kansas State] Over Colorado—20 to 3. EAST Duke Over Pittsburgh—The game of the day. Close. Dartmouth Oyer Navy—Strictly a shot in the dark as Dartmouth is ‘untested. Texas Christian Over Temple—T. C. U. finally wins one. ' Army Over Columbia—Close and maybe a tie. Cornell Over , Princeton—Power does it. Syracuse Over Georgetown—In the upset of the East. Pennsylvania Over Yale—But it can go either way. Brown Over Colgate — Colgate doesn’t seem to have it this year. SOUTHWEST

Arkansas over Baylor—Arkansas getting stronger. Oklahoma over Texas—On what they did to Northwestern. Texas A. & M. over Villanova— but not by much.

SOUTH Louisiana State over Rice—Lou‘isiana found itself, against Holy

Cross and is ready £3 roll. Tulane over Fordham—The South

has the edge over the North, but

look out for this one. Mississippi State over Auburn— State is on the upgrade; Auburn ‘can’t get going. Holy Cross over Georgla—A strong team bounces back from an awful licking. Mississippi over Centenary — By two touchdowns. ‘North Carolina over New York University — Maybe without too much trouble. FAR WEST Southern California over Illinois —Illinois is loaded for this one but lacks the punch. . Oregon over California—Oregon stays undefeated. Kansas over Colorado Statée—By about 20 to 6. , U. C. L. A. over Stanford—Stanford hasn't scored this season, and won't start winning here. Washington over Washington State—Washington gets under way at last.

Wins in Shootoff

C. T. Foxworthy fired a high score in the shootoff to win yesterday's trophy shoot at the Indianapolis Trap and Skeet Club. He and H. B. Cox each shattered 45 targets in the 50-bird race.

S.M.U. Tough, Spies Report

Irish Scouts Say Mustang Material Is Plentiful.

Times Special . "SOUTH. BEND, Ind. Oct. 12.—A hard-riding red-shirted band of Southern Methodist Mustangs with national championship hopes will invade Notre Dame Stadium Saturday. S. M. U. ranking rose somewhat before the season when Coach Madison (Matty) Bell stated, “Our prospects are the best in recent years.” They climbed still further when the Mustangs opened their season with a T7-all tie with Oklahoma, undefeated Big Six champions of 1938. When Oklahoma gave Northwestern its worst defeat in several years, 23 to 0, last Saturday, the football public got some idea of the class of this year’s Southern Methodist eleven. The Mustangs spent last Saturday beating a little known but strong North Texas State Teachers eleven, 16 to 0. Irish scouts report that S. M. U. has a team that not only looks like a football team, but plays like one—and the material is three deep at practically every position. The ends are rangy and fast. The line has beef and speed from tackle to tackle. Three of the best triple threat men in the Southwest operate alternately at tailback. They are Ray Mallouf, Johnston, and “Dandy Dick” Miller. Johnny Clement is available to relieve them if necessary. Wally Bearden and Bob Bellville at fullback, Will Mullenwig at quarterback, and '. Capt. Chelsea Crouch at right halfback combine heft, running ability, and blocking talent. All carry the ball on occasions. Wholesale lineup changes marked Notre Dame’s workouts early this week as Coach Elmer Layden strove to reward those who made good showings against Purdue and Georgia Tech, and to strengthen his first three teams. At least temporary advancements went to Johnny Kovatch, right end; Whitey Lee and Andy Chlebeck, fullbacks; Bob Maddock and Herdy Bereolos ,guards; Cliff Brosey, right tackle; Bob Hargrave, quarterback; Harry Stevenson Jr., and Benny Sheridan, left halfbacks; and Steve Juzwik, right halfback. Of these all but Lee, Stevenson, and Sheridan are sophomores. The Mustangs will be accompanied by their 65-piece band, which is rated the top college swing band of the country.

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—The baseball season may be over but the best double play of the year was made yesterday—La Guardia to Gehrig. In an announcement from the City Hall the Mayor of New York said that the Yankees’ great first baseman had accepted an appointment as a City Parole Commissioner, and that he would be sworn in Monday for a full 10-year term. Congratulations to both men. La Guardia deserves a hand, and a big one, for whacking right through the red tape that usually binds such appointments, and choosing Lou for the job. And Gehrig, besieged with scores of offers since illness forced him from the playing field, rates a bow for accepting a job which doesn't pay a great deal but offers him much opportunities for doing good. Lou Is New Yorkers’ Hero

The Mayor of New York has made thousands of appointments in his time, and will make thousands more, but never will he make one more popular. Gehrig has been a hero to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers for more than 10 years, and they will cheer his connection with their City’s government. Gehrig, whose baseball salary has been a five-figure one for many years, will get $6000 a year on his new job. Had he chosen to lend his name to restaurants, bars and various other promotions, he could have earned 10 times this amount without lifting a finger. ; Lou was talking about this to a group of newspapermen coming back from the World Series in Cincinnati a few nights ago. He spoke in particular of a syndicate which had showed him $30,000 in cash and said it was his if he would only permit the use of his name in connection with an enormous restaurant and drinkifig place.

could use it, as who couldn’t,” Lou said, “but it didn’t séem the right thing to do. I wouldn't actually have had anything to do with it, in the first place, and somehow I don’t fancy my name in lights over a place like that.” , In announcing Gehrig's appointment, Mayor La Guardia said that “Lou would not only be an able, intelligent commissioner, but he himself will be an inspiration and a hope to many of the younger boys who have gotten into trouble.” "Yes, Lou will be an able commissioner. He’ll tackle his new job just as he did the business of playing first base. He'll miss no detail, no task will be too arduous, and .as for application—wellp a man who played in more than 2000 consecutive baseball games offers no worry on that score. : Try to name another man in sport who better qualifies as an adviser to youngsters than Gehrig. His career in baseball was marked by perfect conduct on and off the field, and his will to carry on, no matter the odds, was unquenchable. Now, stricken by a malady that

threatens his life, Gehrig still carries on, with even greater spirit. His smile is just as broad as when he was hitting 375, and his chin just as high as when he jogged around the bases after knocking one over the fence. : I hope he serves not only one full term, but 10.

Pro Marks In Danger

New Passing and Scoring Records Already Set in National League.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (U. P.)— An entire new set of individual records in the National Football League appeared imminent today, the past week’s statistics showed. Two new marks have been hung up so far, one has been tied and four are in danger of being bettered after only four weeks of play, Don Hutson, Green Bay end, has caught 11 passes to bring his lifetime total to 136, one better than the record hung up by Johnny Blood, recently retired coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

e Jack Manders, Chicago Bears,

has scored 16 points to replace

Dutch Clark, Cleveland coach, in second place in lifetime scoring. Manders now has 320 points and is close to Ken. Strong's first place total of 324. Th Ace Parker, Brooklyn Dodgers’ all-league back, completed 15 passes against Washington to tie the individual mark for a single game set by Pat/Coffee, of the Chicago Cardinals in 1937. . Another Brooklyn back, Ace Gutowsky,. gained 21 yards to climb’ within seven of Cliff Battles’ alltime total of 3398; Jim Benton, Cleveland end, brought his touchdown total to five in four games and, with seven games to go, may eclipse the record of nine set in 1936 and equaled again in 1938 by Don Hutson. Parker Hall, Cleveland’s aerial-minded rookie, has completed 41 passes in four games to average three more a game than recordholder Sammy Baugh’s average in 1937 when he set a league standard of 81 completions for Washington. Joe Maniaci and Bill Osmanski, both of the Bears, lead the ground gainers with 316 and 213 yards, respectively, while Bill Smith, Cardinals, and Benton, have tallied 34 and 30 points, respectively, to pace the scorers.

Pugs of T. oday A Joke to Jack

| PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12 (U. P.).—With the exception of Champion Joe-Louis, present day heavy= weights are “a lot of third raters that wouldn't have been good enough for sparring partners 20 years ago,’t according to -Jack Dempsey, former | heavyweight champion. Dempsey, who arrived in Philadelphia to appear at a department store, ridiculed the new fighters as “just a joke.” The former champion’ said he would have fought, Louis the only way he knew how, “throw punches and keep throwing punches.” “I think maybe I could take it a little better than he can,” Dempsey said. “The first man who . landed solidly would win.”

Maybe He Rates Title Encounter

CHICAGO, Oct. 12 (NEA).— John Roxborough, co-manager of

Joe Louis, makes all the champion’s |

sparring partners sign a legal document which waives their right to

claim damages for any, injuries suf- ||

fered in the ring with the Brown Bomber. George Nicholson, who:by helping Louis prepare for. eight fights, is regarded as the most valuable to the Louis entourage. Nicholson boasts that he has boxed more than 200 rounds with Louis without ever having been knocked down. . Louis helped him preserve that record at Pompton Lakes, N. J., when after connecting with a hard right, he grabbed Nicholson and held him up until he regained his equilibrium. :

Frutig Is Ranked |. With Oosterbaan |

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 12 (NEA).~= Greatest Michigan p receiver since Benny Oosterbaai¥, says Fields ing H. Yost of Ed Frutig, Welverine junior end. “He's got the grace and speed,” points out Michigan's athletic director who has seen the best in the business. “And the tip§ of his fingers appear coated with glue: Oosterbaan perhaps had more natural ability but he, of course, was the perfect athlete.” . Frutig, son of a River Rouge, Mich., councilman, thus rates on & par with Ted Petoskey, Ivan Wile liamson, Bill Hewitt and Willis Ward, Michigan greats of the past. Six feet 1 inch, and weighing 185 pounds, Frutig came to Michigan with very little gridiron reputation, He barely made the freshman ’ squad. He was just another varsity candidate as a sophomore in 1938 but before the season was over he was the best end on the Maize and Blue squad. -f “That's real development,” says Yost. :
