Kayden Orchids - Go to Wolves, Washington Both Are Better Than The Record, He Says
By ELMER LAYDEN Notre Dame Football Coach
Boston College, Minnesota |
and Tennessee kept their championship titles clear in an impressive display of superiority over worthy foes Saturday. The other major clean slaters, Stanford and} Texas A. & M. did not play.
Minnesota closed a spotless season by overcoming in‘ championship style a two-touchdown lead grabbed by Wisconsin. - Boston College has only Holy Cross to dispose of now. Tennessee should still be undefeated after the coming closer with Vanderbilt, Two. of the most powerful team's in the country which nevertheless have been defeated are Washington and Michigan. Both outplayed Minnesota in the statistics, but lost. Washington had another in and out day later against \Stanford and again bit the dust. Both these tea demonstrated last Saturday that they are better than the record when Washington swamped U.C.L.A. 41 to 0 ‘and Michigan turned in an even more impressive victory, 40-0 Ohio State, at the season’s outset one of the outstanding Big Nine contenders.
Lauds Northwestern
Another team in the defeated class which ranks with the nation’s best in ability is Northwestern. The Wildcats lost previously to Minnesota and Michigan in games where , the breaks decided the issue. They redeemed all Saturday when they .beat Notre Dame 20-0, their third victory in* all starts since the two teams have been playing. We played our game Saturday, but it wasn’t good enough by'a margin which the score represents-fair-ly. A mistake in pass defense gave our opponents their first touchdown. Clawson, the giant’ Northwestern fullback, just ran over us for the second in a slide off tackle. De Correvont, according to observers who have héen following the Purple, was at the peak of fis Sepdnrs form and set up the final Score with his best run of the year and scored the touchdown with a fake drive into the line fading into a slide to the flank—a maneuver with which we were familiar but which deceived us nevertheless. Clawson, . Baumen, Lokanc, and De Correvont were outstanding per“formers for Northwestern. Osterman’s defensive work at center was a high light of our play. - Piepul, at last recovered from an injury which hampered him since the Illinois game, showed his stuff when he made 67 yards in seven attempts against a gefense which was as tough as we've’ faced all season. The fortunes of .the season have handicapped Piepul’ s bid for national recognition, but his 5.4 average (Continued on Page 11)

Scores Enter
Ring Tourney
Although a record field of entries in the annual South Side Turners city and county championships boxing tournament already is assured, entries continue to pour in, Chairman Frank Neu of the Turners athletic committee announced today. The list of contestants has swelled to the 90 mark, with midnight .tonight set as the deadline on entry blanks. One of the outstanding candidates for top honors in the 135-pound class will be Roy Carnes, Lauter Boys Club star who knocked out Bob Mulvey, Lafayette Golden Gloves champion this year,'in a recent inter-city bout at the Armory. Biggest mauler entered in the meet will be 205-pound Robert Donnell, novice heavyweight. Donnell rears up 6 feet 2 inches without his boots on and displayed a knockout wallop in his. only local appearance here this year when he rocked William Clark to sleep in the second session of a recent Armory battle. Scotty Cotten, head Turners coach, believes the unusually large
entry list is due to the weekly ama-
teur programs which have been in progress during the summer and
fall, and expects most of the simon-,
pures to be in tip-top physical con-
dition for the tourney.

Butler Wants One Warmup
Who'll give the Butler Bulldogs a warmup before they tackle the national collegiate basketball champions on Dec. 12? _"Coach Tony Hinkle probably would give five silver cheers, or something, for the answer to that one as he shapes up the 1940-41 edition of the Fairview baskefeers. He is trying to schedule a game for Dec. 6 or 7, possibly with Central Normal. “If we don't get an additional game today, we'll just go ahead and play Indiana for our first game,” he added. / Meanwhile, 33 candidates are practicing daily, in two shifts, for varsity berths. The team has been bolstered by the report of three members of the football team. They are Elwood Norris, junior from Washington, Ind.; Donald Stewart, New Augusta sophomore, and Wally ‘Davis, Anderson sophomore who played on the state high school championship team of 1938. Nine seniors. and one junior appear as possible members of the first two teams including Bill Hamilton and Jack Clayton, centers; Wilbur = Whitinghill, Harold (Red) Braden, Capt. Bob Dietz and Wilbur Schumacher, forwards, and Lyle Neat, John Petrie, James McCray and Lester Coombs, guards. Schumacher is the junior member and only sophomore of last year to re-
