" Honors All Belong to I. U.

As You'd Guess, They Are High on Figures

Times Special

CHICAGO, Ill, No. 6.—Michigan will be challenging Minnesota for the Western Conference football lead at Minneapolis Saturday, but there will be no questioning of Indiana’s claim to consolation honors in the conference. Defeated by Northwestern and Ohio State after winning from Iowa, the Hoosiers lead the conference in passing gains and rank second in total offense and total defense while resting in a tie for sixth place. Individual offensive guns in the campaign do not rest solely in the camps of the team leaders, accordIng to figures on 14 conference games played to date. More than half of the leaders in the departments of individual play come from second-division teams.

Hursh Has Competition

Hottest individual race in the conference is that in pass offense with Harold Hursh of Indiana out to retain his 1939 honors. Hursh has completed 22 of 45 passes in three games for a total gain of 327 yards. Don Scott of Ohio State has one less completion in as many attempts for a gain of 317 yards. Only Michigan's one-game performance against Illinois ranks ahead of Indiana in team offense and defense. Michigan gained 289 yards to 72 for the Illini. The Wolverines’ 240 yards rushing also leads the conferénce. Indiana's second place honors rest on an average of 282 yards from scrimmage as against 169 for three opponents. also follows Michigan in first downs with an average of: 146 to 7.3 for opponents. Minnescta, with three straight wins in the conference, is third in team offense and fifth in team defense, but the Gopher running attack stands second in. the conference with a game average of 235 yards. | Defensively Minnesota has allowed 228 yards a game, including 164 by rushing. 1 . Indiana's passing |attack has outstripped Ohio State,|its closest rival, by an average of almost 30 yards a game, 116 yards to 87. The Hoosiers have thrown an average of 18 passes per game and completed eight while the Buckeyes have averaged 6.2 completions in each game while throwing 15. Only Illinois has thrown more passes per game than the Hoosiers, an average of 23.5 in two contests. Don Scott's kicking has kept the Ohio State punting average in at 39 yards although Michigan averaged 41 yards in its one game. Lost fumbles in the 14 conference games have been minimized although Indiana and Iowa each has lost two per game. Three new passing stars jumped to the front last week—Sophomore Jim Youel, of Iowa; | Dick Good, of 1llindis, and Ollie Hahnenstein, of Northwestern. Youel, who did not play in Iowa's first two conference games, has completed six of 21 passes for 117 yards and Good last week completed 11 of 25 passes for 106 yards. Hahnenstein has completed four of 11° passes for 126 yards. Hoosier Leads Passers

Hahnenstein’s passing combined with his rushing has sent him to the front as one of the three top offensive threats in the conference, passing and running, Hursh leads with his passing record followed by Bruce Smith of Minnesota who is second in rushing with 209 yards and who has gained 79 yards on passes for a total of 288 yards. Hahnenstein, who has played in three games, has 160 yards from - rushing to his credit for a total of 286 yards. Scott, with 58 yards rushing, has a four-game total of 875 yards, or 93.75 yards a game. Leading ground gainer in the conference is Iowa's Bill Green, with 225 yards in four games. Smith leads in average rushing gain per game, with 69.6 yards, and per try, with six yards. Scoring honors rest with Green and Minnesota's George Franck at 24 points, although two touchdowns last week for Jim [Langhurst of Ohio State put the 1938 leader in the running.

Linder to Fight

Anderson Boxer

George Linder, Washington A. C. middleweight who copped a free swinging slugfest from Clinton Brooks over the three-round route last week in the Armory ring, has been matched with Harvey Malek of Anderson for one of the three-round supporting clashes on Friday night's Armory boxing card. Malek is a mauler who has little time for science or fancy footwork. The Anderson pug would rather wade in and swap punches, letting the chips fall where they may. . Linder features a stiff left hook to the body in his attack, and the bout promises plenty in the way of destructive action. Matchmaker Fred DeBorde also has pitted James McQueen, unattached lightweight, against Roy Carnes, Lauter Boys’ Club leather tosser, in a three-round mill,

210-7, know that Elmer Layden’s boys

The Cadets outplayed Notre Dame’s vaunted powerhouse all the way. With the Army tackles crashing through to smear the offense, Notre Dame was unable to put two of its four first-downs together. The play was in Notre Dame territory all afternoon and statistically, the

Army had the best of it by 4-1.

Minnesota has George Franck and other fine backs, but Bruce Smith (above)—running, passing and blocking—is regarded by op-

Rugged Foes Have Hardened Grid Gophers for Michigan

. By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

. CHICAGO, Nov. 6 (U. P.).—Minnesota and Michigan, the Big Ten’s last two undefeated, untied football

teams, meet before a sellout 64,000 Saturday in a ball game that has the nation talking—and guessing. Herewith is the case for and against them both: MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA— First of all, it’s an even bet. Both will be “up” mentally for this one. Michigan had a week of rest after its strenuous coast to coast nonconference competition and Minnesota, although playing a tough onepointer with Northwestern, had one eye trained on this week’s game. For Michigan—Superior speed and a great desire of all hands to spring loose Tommy Harmon or go out trying. The week of rest may not be too important a factor. In a tough game. physical conditioning |gained in actual competition is valuable. Many critics feel Michigan’s schedule — California, Michigan | State, Harvard, Illinois and Pennsylvania —fed the Wolverines too | much gravy while Minnesota was playing more rugged opponents. It figures as a close game, however, and Harmon is the best game-breaker in collegiate football.

For Minnesota—An edge in weight

and manpower, plus two boys who can scatter like scared cottontails. George Franck and Bruce Smith

have a touch of that Harmon elusiveness and they pound like triphammers on Bernie Bierman'’s famed reverse plays. Minnesota's lines are heavy and there is speed to make them doubly dangerous. Against Northwestern, however, they permitted an 80-yard drive by a light, harder-charging line. Michigan may be able to do the same, although the Gophers twice have overcome Harmon and company. ILLINOIS AT NORTHWESTERN —Illinois was an improved team against Wisconsin last week, but Northwestern surprised everyone by holding Minnesota, 13 to 12. Speed of the Wildcats probably is too much for the Illini. PURDUE AT FORDHAM-—Pur-due’s sophomores have come along swiftly, but Fordham in a step too high right now. WISCONSIN AT COLUMBIA— Wisconsin, victor in its last two conference games with fourth-period rallies, is hoping Columbia took a physical lacing from Cornell last week. Otherwise, Columbia may prove too smart. IOWA AT NEBRASKA-—About the only thing in Iowa's favor is the fact that Nebraska is not trying to get even for an Iowa defeat in 1939. They didn’t meet. Nebraska on all around power. MICHIGAN STATE AT INDIANA—Michigan State was good enough to score twice on Michigan

and no other team has done that.
