Gophers Serve Notice
Michighh and Ohio State more than justified my expectations in beating California and Pittsburgh, 41-0 and 30-7, respectively. I picked Washington - over Minnesota, but the Gophers’ 19-14 win can’t be called an upset—the margin was too close for that. The Gophers served notice they’ll contest the Western Conference supremacy with the Buckeyes and Wolverines—though it still looks like Michigan to me. Purdue got off to an auspicious start by beating Butler four touchdowns. . The Bulldogs were only a few places behind the Boilermakers in national ranking last year and sincerely had planned on upsetting Mal Elward’s young combination. Nevertheless, it will be little short of a miracle if Purdue is a conference contender. The football world has been wondering: whether the Texas Longhorns are on the corheback trail. It has been watching also to see if the Colorado Buffaloes, -last year’s Rapky Mountain Champions, auto-

Most of the major games went the charted way both as to result and score. But as a last word from the wise men of the East, don’t overlook Colgate’s 44-0 rout of Akron. It substantiates the report that this may be a year for Andy Kerr's Red Raiders. We’ll have a better idea about that Saturday night — the Raiders bump into the Big Red from Cornell.

DANA XENEPHON BIBLE — the football coach with the Pullman coach name—apparently believes it’s possible to fool all the people all the time. That's a man’s own business, after all, but we mention it merely because lis Texas Longhorns will be the week-end guests of Indiana Univelsity Saturday in Bloomington’s Memorial Stadium. . To begin with, fate and the alumni endowed Mr.
backs. For speed he had Jack Crain, who zips over the five-yard stripes like a centipede across a zebra’s back. For heavier duty against unco-operative guards and tackles, there was either Pete Layden or 200-pound Speck Sanders, the latter nickname presumably being furnished by a sarcastic press agent. A couple of other anonymous gentlemen were available for such sundry duties as blocking, holding the placekicks or carrying the field judge's watch. NOW wouldn't you suppose under these favorable circumstances a coach would build a strong running game, concentrate on that alone and leave the razzle-dazzle to such organizations as the Washington Redskins or the Aquacade chorus? o n 2
WELL, SO would we. Mr. Bible. Last week in the healthful = Colorade atmosphere his Longhorns developed a serious case of air-raid jitters. It looked suspiciously like Mr. Bible was campaigning for the Lone Star administration and had thought Governor QO’Daniel wanted the pigskin passed instead of the biscuits. Tell-tale statistics revealed that Texas attempted 35. tosses, completed 17 and altogether gained 232 yards in this overhead man=ner. The pitchers were Pete Layden (versatile, eh?), R. L. Hark-
But not
ins and Roy McKay.
All of which puts an entirely new slant on Saturday’s probabie happenings in Memorial Stadium, Indiana will pass—you can bet your bottom Mississippi tax token on that—Indiana will pass, even if it has to be done with a muddy field, a slick ball and ceiling zero. Should Handy Hurling Hal Hursh —a honey—not be pitching, then either sophomore Earl Dolaway of junior Mickey McGuire will be. And now along comes publicfooler Bible with a burlap bag full of the same tricks. If Indiana is going to throw out the passes, then so will Texas. The referee will throw out the ball at the start and at the half, and it’s pretty certain the State Police will throw out a couple of rowdy customers. All in all, it shapes up as a monotonous matinee.
” EJ o ~~ OF COURSE, Bo McMillin is not above this trickery himself. The Hoosiers are now virtually at full strength, excluding the loss of quarterback Eddie Herbert, who wil lbe out all season. Tuffy Brooks, calculated to be a first-stringer, has rejoined his mates, and hard-luck Cobb Lewis, who has missed 15 of Indiana's last 16 games, has donned cleats and shoulder pads again. You don’t suppose, do you, that Mr. Be would cross up everybody by running a play now and then just to put the double-X on the rival Mr. B.? With everybody fooling everybody else, the smart thing would be not to fool with this one at all, But we will—taking Indiana by ‘a touchdown. And we ain't fooling.

Rusty. Patterson Fights Friday
: Rusty Patterson, who captured a city title during the recent parks tournament, will tangle with Elmo Latta, Leeper A. C. puncher, in a three-round battle added to the weekly, Simon=-pure mitt program to be staged Friday night at the Armory. Both boys will tip the scales at 115 pounds, and Patterson will carry the colors of the English Avenue Boys’ Club. Matchmaker Fred DeBorde also announced the signing of James McQueen, unattached Negro lightweight, to collide with Earl Etheridge, English Avenue Boys’ battler, in another clash. DeBorde is seeking a heavyweight bout to top the bill. -
