IN ADDITION to holding the individual scoring lead in the Big Ten, Tom Harmon, the Gary flash with th University of Michigan, also is the Western Conference’ top ground gainer. . . . The Hoosier carried the ball 1 times for 112 yards against Iowa, a total second to ‘Nile Kinnick’s 121 yards in 32 tries, but in two games. Kinnick of Iowa played against Indiana and Michigan, Harmon against one team, the Hawkeyes. Harmon's average of 6.2 yards is bettered, however by the performance of Purdue’s Mike Byelene, who gaine 104 yards in 13 attempts against Minnesota; by George Franck the Gophers, who averaged 8.4 yards in 10 tries last Saturday, by Ollie Hahnenstein of Northwestern, who gained 58 yards in s attempts for an average of 9% yards against Ohio State.

Ohio State and Northwestern Should Come Through, - U. P. Writer Says.

Cornell over Penn State—But look out for this one. Carnegie Tech over N. Y. U— Rolling on toward the Eastern championship. Temple over Beston College—13 to 0. Harvard-Pennsylvania—Let’s settle for a tie. SOUTHWEST Southern Methodist over Marquette—S. M. U. is better than its record. Arkansas over Texas—In spite of the Arkansas backfield injuries. Texas over Texas A. and M.—On a hunch that this will be the biggest upset of the day.

FAR WEST

U. C. IL. A. over Montana—In a practice run. California 6ver Washington State —They get going at long last. Oregon over Gonzaga—But it’s a swell spnt for an upset. Utah over Idaho—One of the toughest in the country. Washington cver Oregon State— On the theory that they've got to win one sometime.

HELSINGFORG, Linland, Oct. 19 (U. P.).—Although preparations for the 1940 Olympics were at a standstill because of the war crisis, the sports diehards of Finland and Scandinavia still hoped today that the games might be conducted on a limited scale. Building of a stadium has been halted and the Olympic Organization Office has been idle. With athletes in the Army and civilians on a virtual wartime basis, plans for the Olympics cannot proceed. No forecast can be made as to whether they will be held, but Copenhagen athletes asked their committee yesterday to concentrate. on reviving interest in the games and assure the Finnish committee of their support. The Swedes believe the competition should be held, particularly now when all neutrals should support any enterprises contributing to peaceful relations among nations. If the situation clears up so that the games can be considered, Finland is counting on WU. S participation. Most of the appropriated 10 million dollars still is available for holding the games.

Irish Students To See Game

Two Trains to Carry Fans, Band to. Cleveland.

Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 19.— Approximately 1000 Notre Dame students and the 100-piece Notre Dame band will be among the 78,000

fans who will fill the Cleveland Stadium for the Navy-Notre Dame game Saturday. Two traihs will carry the Notre Dame undergraduates to the game. One will leave the campus tomorrow afternoon and return Monday morning. The other, which will carry the band, will leave Saturday morning and will return Saturday night after the game. The team will leave South Bend late tonight and will arrive in Cleveland at 6:30 a. m. tomorrow. A workout behind closed gates will be held in Cleveland stadium tomorrow afternoon. The squad will start its return trek at 11 Saturday night. The Navy squad will leave Annapolis tonight, arriving in Cleveland at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. The team will stay and will work out at the University school. Official parties of both schools will make headquarters at the Hotel Cleveland starting tomorrow morn-

Coach Elmer Layden was to name his Notre Dame traveling squad of 36 players after today’s practice. Scrimmages for the third and fourth team were particularly lively early in the week, with the “ragged edge” boys all trying to get spots on the train this week, and ‘an inside track on future trips. Bob Hargrave, of Evansville, injured Irish quarterback, will be availabie for Saturday’s game, and he will probably replace John Kelleher with the second team. Kelleher’s field goal defeated Purdue, 3 to 0, and his placement after Notre Dame’s third touchdown also nosed out Southern Methodist, 20 to 19. Hargrave has greater. heft than the 155-pound Lorain, O., hero, however, and Kelleher will probably be saved for spots. The Notre Dame squad is otherwise in top shape for the game.

Ben Davis at Seymour (night). SATURDAY Indiana State Deaf School at Ohio State Deaf School, Columbus, O. The only team in.this county not in action this week-end is Southport. The Cardinals are taking a much deserved rest until next Wednesday night when they are to be hosts to Columbus.

Duet or Solo Likely Since all three of the city’s un-

.| beaten teams, Tech, Broad Ripple

and Shortridge, are pitted against determined local foes, this trio may become a duet or even a solo by the time the games are over. Tech has an edge over Cathedral because the Green and White squad is larger, both in number of reserves and weight per player, but it doesn’t have any more determination than the Irish. Cathedral has only been defeated once this season, losing a hard fought struggle to the Washington Continentals two weeks ago. Against Tech the three Irish backs, Tom Fox, Kenneth Geiman and Ott Hurrle, are expected to do the major share of ball toting.

Hurrle’s Task Tough

Hurrle has established himself as the star of the team, but he is going to have quite a line to run up against this time, for the Tech forwards are big and are increasing their “mobility with every game From end to end; the Gteen and White linemen, who performed with such distinction in Tech's 21-13 victory over Southport Monday, are Knute Dobkins, Frank Buddenbaum, Emerson Emery, Jack Stoelting, Lawrence Seiwert, Bert Turner and William Gill, Buddenbaum seems to be the hardiest of the lot, and he cracks through a line so fast that he either blocks a punt or scares the kicker out of a couple of years’ growth. The sight of Hurrle trying Buddenbaum’s spot at left tackle ought to be worth the price of admission. Charles Berling, Tech quarterback who suffered an injured hand several days ago, got into the lineup against Southport and is expected to ‘see action in the Cathedral game.

Blue Devils at Full Strength

For the first time in two weeks the Shortridge squad will be at full strength for its game against Washington. Dick Mercer, John E. Smith an. Dick Worley, all line regulars, have recovered from their injuries, and Capt. Kenneth Smock, Blue Devil backfield ace, is back in top shape physically. To insure against costly fumbles, Coach Robert Nipper has been drilling his backs on ball handling, while defensive play has been emphasized for linemen. Surprised by Southport last weekend, the Washington Continentals have been - put through lengthy practice sessions by Coach Henry Bogue. William Petranoff, end, and Russell Terhune and Arthur Leamon, tackles, are Continental stars in the forward wall, and they are being counted upon to muss up the precision work of the Shortridge linemen. Shortridge beat Washington last year, 23 to 6. For the first time in- the history of the two schools the Broad Ripple Rockets will be hosts to Manual’s: Redskins. The South Side school is the only city opponent on the Rocket schedule this season and Coach Edgar Diederich has (Continued on Page 22)

EVANSTON, Il, Oct. 19—A slim, = bespectacled non-footballer, Mark Anson, split the Northwestern campus today with charges that Northwestern’s linemen refused to block for highly-touted Bill DeCorrevont and his backfield teammates in the Ohio State game last Saturday. Writing in the student newspaper, The Daily Northwestern, Anson said the Wildcats had to “play against 18 men most of the day because the line believed that they had the nation’s best backs and decided to sit down and let them work. “Don’t blame DeCorrevont for the poor showing he made,” he said. “No man could run when he was tackled as soon as he took the pass from center. . . . He and the rest of

Bo Attempting to Bolster Hoosiers’ Defense.

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Oct. 19.— New defensive assignments to cope with Illinois’ tricky and speedy offense have been the fare of the Indiana football team this week, Indiana-will. meet Illinois Saturday at Champaign in the third straight Big Ten opener on the road for the Hoosiers. The Hoosiers® will be gunning for their first victory over Illinois at Champaign since

1899, 41 years ago. Dissatisfied with the defensive

Bo McMillin has decided that a change in tactics is necessary to

check the backfield speed and varied formations of the Illinois attack. Coach E. C. Hayes, who has scouted Illinois this season, is of the opinion that the Illini, from tackle to tackle, are as strong as any line in the Conference, and that in Peterson, Ehni, Smith and Purvis, Coach Bob Zuppke has potential backfield strength, experience and speed overshadowing Indiana. Receiving most attention for, Indiana this week is the secondary defense, along with the middle of the line. Wisconsin was able to drill inside the Indiana tackles almost at will last Saturday for consistent gaims, largely because Indiana’s tackling was spotty and loose. With both Archie Harris and Russ Higginbotham on the temporarily injured list, it is likely that Mike Dumke, a sophomore, and Jim Ellenwood, senior, will bear most of the burden at left end against’ Illinois, with no other changes in the starting lineup probable:

the backfield played against 18 men most of the day.” Coach Lynn Waldorf, who has been nursing DeCorrevont and the Northwestern team through a natural letdown in morale—caused by

two straight defeats after an almost hysterical ballyhoo during the summer, denied there was an inten-|,, tional lack of team play against Ohio State. “It’s the silliest thing I ever heard of,” he said. “The team has come along slowly and the blocking wasn’t the best in either of our two games. But it wasn't intentional. So far we haven't been able to do much blocking for anybody.
