SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

~ HERETOFORE THE Minnesota Gophers regarded their annual game with the Iowa Hawks as a soft touch. » + « But that was before Coach Eddie Anderson took over t Iowa City and the Gophers will find themselves up against entirely different opposition when they invade the corn belt capital tomorrow. Minnesota has taken eight straight games from Iowa and the Hawks haven't finished on the long end of the Score since 1929 when they emerged in front, 9 to 7..,. The Hawks also won in 1928, 7 to 6. . . . It's difficult to

2 Judge the 1939 teams on comparative scores.

Iowa downed Purdue, 4 to 0; Minnesota and Purdue played a 13.tle. . . . Michigan beat Towa, 27 to 7; Minnesota beat Michigan, to 7. ... Hunch are stringing with the Hawks beacuse they won four times in the clutch when the heavy heat was on, , over Indiana; 19-13, over Wisconsin; 4-0, over Purdue, and 7-6 Notre Dame

"On the other hand the Gophers have failed to win In a close fight. . . . Nebraska beat them, 6-0; Purdue tied, 13-13; Ohio State ‘edged them, 23-20, and Northwestern prevailed, 14-7.

Perhaps Gophers Have Found Themselves

. + LAST YEAR Minnesota defeated Iowa, 28 to 0, but the Hawks - had a losing season and did not play alert and inspired football like the current squad. . . . Fans who tagged the 1939 Hawks as a team of destiny. evidently knew something. Still, the Gophers undoubtedly found themselves against Michie gan last week and for that reason) their followers expect them to jj ontinue rolling against the Hawks.”. . . At any rate, Towa City is in for another whopper week-end of football frenzy.

" [Bucks Due To Get Hold[H On Diadem

Ohio State Can Clinch Title On Victory if Minnesota And Badgers Help.

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Ohio State, a darkhorse team that developed quietly without benefit of customary pre-season ballyhoo, became a strong favorite today to defeat Illinois at Columbus, O., tomorrow and gain a share of thé Big Ten foot ball championship. The powerful Bucks, upset only by Cornell, can nail an undisputed title if Minnesota beats Iowa and Wisconsin ties or defeats Purdue. Ohio State’s unexpected rise —

four straight Big Ten victories— resulted from’development of sophoniore linemen and the improvement of last season's comparatively green team. The whole state was daffy over the Cincinnati Reds when Coach Francis Schmidt assembled his squad for the first practice and he operated without pressure until the Bucks had knocked off Missouri ‘and North-

Just give us the ball and we'll beat ’em.” Purdue, with one victory, one defeat and a tie, retains a mathematical chance for a share of the title. Wisconsin, however, is overdue for victory and its ground attack, led by Fullback: George Paskvan, who leads the conference yards gained, may be especislly dangerous “to Purdue's” ‘none-toe-rugged defense. If Notre Dame's blacking returns, the Tra should outscore Northwestern. ‘ Sophomore Don Clawson and Bill DeCorrevont are threats to Notre Dame's defense until they reach the 20-yard line. There, Notre Dame's all-round alertness may spell the difference. Alertness baffles the Wildcats more than power.

Cut. ’Er Loose, Fans!

So off with the vocal Yestrglat, gang. If you don’t see something you like Sunday, pick out somebody to boo. What our Capitals seem to want is a little more of the touch of a baseball crowd and a bit less. of the refinement of a tennis gallery. Herbie Lewis sums it up as fellows: “We're playing a good fast game, but I still am not satisfied that we have turned on all the valves yet. As the crowd warms up, I think the team will get hotter. If a guy comes down the ice and hears a lot of encouragement from the stands, he is bound to dig in a little harder.” For the benefit of the skeptics who said this game wouldn't draw flies after the opening, it is a pleasure to record that there were 48 trons at the game last night, and point of skill and smoothness of performance it was far and away
