Yea, Cornell—but How About

o's Win(?) Ohio's Win(? ; .. By JOE WILLIAMS » NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—The photo finish has now come to football. It used to be that you couldn't follow the game without a program; now you can’t follow it without a camera. Pretty soon the editors of the Harvard Crimson will be bleating that théir more successful rivals are subsidizing Hollywood's best kodakers. x : ) Already this year two games have been decided in the cutting room and in one instance, the recent DartmouthCornell game, the score was formally reversed, all hands admitting the facts as revealed by the i spinning celuloid Williams on the screen. of There wasn’t much else Referee Red Friesell could do but admit he had pulled a skull. - You can’t argue very well with photographic evidence and in " this case it showed the referee had given Cornell an extra down and that this “extra down had gummed the works. Nor was there much else that the Cornell athletic officials could do but refuse to accept the undeserved victory. Without the extra down their team would have been squarely and rather soundly beaten. That this bizarre incident broke a long unbeaten string of a great football team is a mere incident. All great teams must lose sooner or later. And on this phrticular day Cornell was not a great team. The point is a great team deserves to ‘win only when it plays up to its greatness. The Cornell men have lost nothing material in ignoring the “score on the board,” and ‘they have gained - something spiritual. We

have a notion, too, they will be greater than ever against Pennsylvania Saturday. This sort of thing has a way of paying indefinable but vital dividends. x We regret to say that by contras? Ohio State did not react as creditably in a somewhat similar situation. This was in the Purdue game. An illegally substituted player, Charley Maag, kicked the points that won the game for the Columbus varsity in the last 21 seconds of play. » That Maag had been substituted illegally, having previously appeared in the quarter, was not revealed until - the motion pictures of the game were flashed on the silver sheet. The Ohio State coach had become confused in sending in substitutions. It was an honest mistake, just as Referee Friesell’s was, but it decided a football game. Since the winning or losing of a football game scarcely amounts to life or death (even in Columbus) the more graceful and generous attitude would have been for Ohio State to refuse the points. In that event the game would have ended in a 14-14 tie. We have always had nothing but awe and admiration for the men who officiate football games. Theirs is far from a simple task, the rules, the game and the complicated nature of the play being what it is. We can understand how a referee would get mixed up even in the relatively simple matter of downs. Tenseness doesn't always make for clear thinking. Even so, there should be some way to reduce if not eliminate, the possibility of error in the more simple decisions. As ‘we already have said, we think Friesell would have averted the unpleasantness if he stopped to listen to the protest of the Dartmouth captain. Incidentally, we are happy that Darthmouth’' didn’t go nasty-nice and refuse to accept the revised returns of the photo finish, ‘This would have been piling the ivy on a little bit too thick. The realistic attitude was much better, saner and healthier. After all, they did win the game, didn’t they? Dartmouth would have looked pretty silly if they had done anything else. This business of putting on a martyr smile, looking bravely into the heavenly blue, and being just too, too heroic about it all, can be carried to absurd lengths, To come right out and say so, it's a bogus form of sportsmanship.

Gophers Bring Eyes of Nation To Mid-West

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 19 (U. P.).—For the first time ‘in five long, lean years the Big Ten has a contender for the mythical national football championship. : If -all goes well with Minnesota this Saturday no team in the na-

tion will have a stronger claim on the basis of regular season compe- | tition. Some may gather more glam» or in post-season bowl games. Some may look a lot fancier in the newsreels and land more boys on AllAmerica teams. But in 1940 the cycle swung back to the Big Ten and Minnesota is the best of the lot. “The Gophers are undisputed Conference champions no matter what happens against Wisconsin this week and they're carrying on for the entire Central West now that Notre Dame finally has ben cornered by underdog Iowa. : ’ Tables Are Turned

Notre Dame, riding for a fall after close brushes with Army and

effort against Iowa and it cost the Irish a six-game winning streak.

gave Iowa an upset 7-0 victory.

ble this week against Northwestern, which lost to Minnesota by one point and to Michigan by one touchdown. Michigan plays at Ohio State, Indiana at Purdue, Illinois at Towa and Minnesota, with seven straight victories, ends the season at Wisconsin. Victims of Minnesota power were Washington, Nebraska, Ohio State, Northwestern, Michigan, Iowa and last week Purdue, 33 to 6.

Play Is Methodical

Minnesota football is unspectacular as a job on an automobile assembly line. If the Gophers were doing their stuff down in the Southwest they'd have the - spectators yawning after the first period and looking for an exit at half-time. Minnesota has a giant line whose finesse is virtually invisible from the stands. Its close single-wing formations crowd the backfield blocking into such a small space on the field the fans don’t see much of it. There are individual stars aplenty, but probably only one who will strike the eye of All-America selectors. He is George Franck, fleet right halfback. But most of his opponents tell you a lad named Bruce Smith is just as fast and just as foxy. Bob Fitch, an end; Helge Pukema, a guard, and Tackle Urgan Sgn could play on anybody's ball club. > Big Ten prestige rose, fell and roes again with Minnesota. In 19341 and 1935, when Bernie Bierman's first bone-crushing powerhouse were grinding out victory after victory over the toughest sort of competition the Big Ten was the big noise in intercollegiate football. In 1937 and 1938, Minnesota also won Conference titles but dropped important games along the way. Northwestern's 1936 champions and Ohio State’s titleholders last year did the same.

Rams Release Three

CLEVELAND, Nov. 19 (U. P).— Coach Earl (Dutch) Clark of the Cleveland Rams, National Professional League Football team, today released three players—end Mike Rodak of Western Reserve, halfback Clarence Gehrke of Utah and halfback Glenn Olson of Iowa. Clark made the cuts after the Rams lost to Brooklyn, 29 to 24, last Sunday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 19 (U. P.).—Gwinn Henry, dean of the Big Six Conference football coaches, goes back to the school where he was mentor for nine years next Thursday, but he doesn’t look forward to a very pleasant reception. Henry, now coach of the luckless Kansas Jayhawkers, returns to Missouri for the first time in the role of the enemy, for the 49th renewal of the most ancient gridiron rivalry in the Missouri Valley area. Missouri has lost the Conference title it won last season and Kansas 1s so firmly esconced in last place that it would take an act of Congress to get it out, yet the game has been a sellout for weeks. Henry has fallen upon lean days sincé he returned to the Big Six to take over the coaching reins at Kansas. This year the Jayhawkers have won only one out of eight games and haven't a victory in the Conference. But not once during their assignments with superior opponents have they failed to fight. A lot of big men in helmets and moleskins would fHelp a heck of a lot more than psychology, Henry admits, but he also emphasizes that mental factors are high on the side of the Kansas eleven. First, the Jayhawkers would like to give their coach a victory against

Conference for nine years. The game will be before a Missouri homecoming crowd and Kansas has been keyed for it for weeks, while Missouri had to point for last week’s important game with Oklahcma. Kansas is in the best shape physically that it has been in several weeks, while Missouri is shot with injuries.

Pressnell Is Sold

To St. Louis Cards

NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (U.P) .— The Brooklyn Dodgers today an= nounced the outright sale of Pitcher Forest (Tot) Pressnell, 33-year-old right-hander, to the St. Louis Cardinals for a reported sum of $15,000. The deal is likely to be the forerunner of several other: transactions involving the Cardinals, Pirates, Dodgers and possibly other clubs. It was stated on good authority that the Cardinals do not intend to keep Pressnell. Pressnell, whose specialty is a knuckle ball, won six and lost five games for the Dodgers until last August when he was sent to Louisville on option. His record at Louisville was six victories and four defeats.
