Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Marion County, 2 December 1940 — Page 6
WE WON'T OBJECT if Clark Shaughnessy is handed the crown of Coach of the Year in the major college football realm. . .. Playing a nine-game schedule, his Stanford Indians scored a grand slam, and this after failing to win a Pacific Coast Conference engagement last year. He's the Cinderalla man, and no foolin’ about it. .. . is Chicago University team of 1939 won twc games and ost six.
Last year Stanford played nine games, won one, tied one and lost seven. . . . The lone victory was over Dartmouth, 14-3, in a lateseason upsetter. . . . After arranging a 1940 schedule, Chicago University abandoned intercollegiate football and Standford abandoned its coach and signed Shaughnessy. . You'll have to hand it to the Stanford athletic department for
Ls putting its finger on the right mentor, and naturally Shaughnessy
leaped. at the opportunity to escape the Chicago Midway and light out for the Golden West. Football fans will récall some of the terrific beatings Shaughnessy had to suffer before the Maroons threw in the sponge on the sport. . For example, 85-0, Michigan; 61-0, Harvard; 61-0, Ohio State; 47- 0, Virginia; 46-0, Illinois. . . . Even Beloit bumped the Maroons’ farewell eleven, 6-0, but believe it or don't, Chicago downed Wabash, 12-2, and oh, oh, Oberlin, 25-0. But what a difference one year made and Coach Shaughnessy probably wonders at times if it’s not a dream. . Jumping from a football doormat into the Rose Bowl. . His record probably will go down as the greatest broad jump in football's history.
And So the Grid Curtain Goes Down
. Shaughnessy converted substantially the same. Stanford squad which was a consistent loser last fall into a Coast champion in one season at the helm. . . . Here is the way the Palo, Alto Redskins took care of the situation, undefeated and untied, with opponents and scores: ‘ San Francisco U., 27-0; Oregon, 13-0; Santa Clara, 7-6; Washington State, 26-14; Southern. California, 21-7; U. C. L. A, 20-14; University of Washington, 20-10; Oregon State, 28-14; University of California, 13-7. In the nine games Stanford rolled up 175 points to 72 by oppon= ents. . . . Last fall the Indians were held to 54 points to 146 for opponents. . . . And Chicago’s 1939 record: 37 points for the Maroons, 308 for opponents, GANGWAY for the Bowl games, gents. . . . The curtain was dropped on the regular major grid season Saturday, though here and there a few tilts remain on the docket. . . . Notre Dame shoves off tomorrow to play the Southern California Trojans at Los ‘Angeles Saturday. Southern Methodist plays at Rice, Texas at Florida, Texas Tech 3 Sen Sraneino, and The Citadel and South Carolina at Charlesn One big upset and a few mild surprises showed up the past week. .. . Oregon’s decisive defeat of Oregon State caught the experts looking out the window. . . . Including games of Thursday, Friday and Saturday this department had 24 right, 8 wrong and there were two ties. Record for the seadont Games picked, 498; wingers. 355; losers, 115; ties,” 28. . . . Batting average over all, 55.

Texas Aggies Passed Up for Big Six Foe
Boston College Will Play Tennessee Jan. 1
.By JAMES A. SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2 (U. P.).—Stanford Univer-
|sity’s football team, which
couldn’t win a Pacific Coast Conference game last season, will play the University of Nebraska in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena Jan. 1. :
night by Al Masters, Stanford graduate manager.
Bowl Games
Rose Bowl (Pasadena)— Stanford vs. Nebraska. Sugar Bowl (New Orleans) — Boston College vs. Tennessee. Orange Bowl (Miami)— Mississippi State vs .~— (Probably Texas Aggies, Georgetown or. Lafayette.) Cotton Bowl (Dallas— Fordham U. vs.—(Texas Ag-' gies, Southern Methodist or Rice.) Sun Bowl (El Paso)—Arizona State® vs. Western Reserve of Cleveland.
Maj. Lawrence T. (Biff) Jones, athletic director for the Corn-
conferred with Dr. H. D. Bergman of Iowa State, head of the Big Six faculty committee, who contacted
the other members. Within a short time, they agreed to waive the conference rule = against post-season games. Stanford became the Rose Bowl host by defeating California, 13 to 7, on Saturday, its ninth vietory of the season and tenth in a row. Stanford’s only victory in: 1939 was over Dartmouth in the final game. Stanford’s choice left only two berths in the five New Year’s Day bowl games to be filled. « Boston College, the nation’s highest scoring outfit, and Tennessee, Southeastern champion, collide at the New Orleans Sugar Bowl. -This will be the only one involving per-fect-record teams.
Ohioans vs. Arizona
Arizona, State and Western Re-|B serve of Cleveland will battle in the
‘Sun Bowl at El Paso, Tex.
Mississippi State, unbeaten but tied, has accepted an invitation to the Miami Orange Bowl. They probably will meet the Texas Aggies, Georgetown or perfect-record |, Lafayette. Fordham University of New York Tex." ‘The Rams’ opponents will be the Texas
' | Aggies, Southern ‘Methodist or Rice.
After the Pacific Coast Conference faculty representatives went through the formality of making the Indians the conference’s bowl team, Stanford’s three-man committee sat down to pick “an opponent. Boston College, Tennessee and Mississippi State had made their Pennsylvania had declined a “feeler”; Cornell, Michigan and Minnesota couldn't accept
i |pecause of conference rules which
couldn’t be waived. , Texas A. & M. and Nebraska, both with imperfect records, remained. It was reported that there had been pressure from Los Angeles against another Southern team again, so Nebraska was invited. The choice was made by fullback Norman Standlee, representing the team: Prof. William B. Owens, faculty representative, and Masters, First for Big Six Nebraska, defeated only once—by Minnesota—will be the first representative ‘of the Big Six Conference in the Rose Bowl. The Cornhuskers, after their initial setback by Minnesota, defeated Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, Pitsburgh, Iowa State and Kansas State, rolling up 170 points to their opponents’ 64.
L Stanford, with a new coach at the
helm—Clark D. Shaughnessy, who came from the University of Chicago when it de-emphasized foothall —had an inspired season. With comparative ease, it turned back University of San Francisco, University of Oregon, Santa Clara, Washington State, Southern California, University of California of Los Angeles, Washington, Oregon State and California. The team “wowed”. the customers who had picked them to finish far down in the conference standing. The Indians totaled 175 points during the season against 72 for their opponents, Stanford’s achievement was a triumph for Shaughnessy, who took the team that won only one game last season and made it the Pacific Coast champion.

k The week’s schedule calls for three Wher:
games abroad in four nights, with the Caps opening: Wednesday at New Haven. ‘The last time there they fought to a 2-2 deadlock: and then lost to the Eagles, 4-2, on the Coliseum rink. On Thursday the locals move to Providence, where the Reds obviously will demand revenge for the 4-2 spanking given them here last Thursday.
Back Home Sunday
.The tour will end at Hershey next Saturday evening, with both teams trying. for something more satisfying than the 3-3 tie they locked in here. Sunday the Caps will be back |’ home to Mr. Eddie Shore’s Springfield Indians. = Last night the Hoosiers accepted a 4-1 defeat by. Pittsburgh, chiefly because goalie Jimmy Franks had nobody at hand to answer his S. O. S.’s.| It seemed that the Hornets always came in pairs or more, and a goalminder with even one helper hasn’t a Chinaman’s chance on such occasions. By the time the Capitals had their dander up midway in the second period, Pittsburgh led by three goals and could afford to stick near the meshes assisting Red McAtee. McAtee, incidentally, has taken the Hornet goal-minding duties away from Harvey Teno by his brilliance. He’s also a brother to our Jud McAtee, but last night failed to show any fraternal affection.
Hornets Sting in a Hurry
It didn’t take the Hornets long to grab the lead. In less than two minutes Mickey Drouillard and Red Kelly zoomed in on Franks. Drouillard fired point-blank, and as Jimmy went to his knees to make the save, the redheaded Irishman.drove the rebound squarely into the'unguarded awning. The second Pittsburgh goal, accomplished five minutes later, again was made with most of the Capital family away from home.

This time it was roly-poly Art Lesieur and Eddie Convey against Buck Jones and Franks. Jones took care of Convey, but Lesieur was too much for Franks alone. In the second period Vincent Hellyer and Lloyd Roubell made a raid on the Capital goal, with Franks unable to do much about Hellyer’s rebound. Then our Capitals found themselves and went to smacking and swatting the biscuit all over the Hornet’s backyard while the referee watched proceedings from a perch atop the dasher.

‘By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 2 (U. P.) —The Eastern Division, with seven players, dominates the annual United Press all-professional team announced today. The Washington Redskins, champions of the Eastern Division, led the field with three men on the first team. The Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants placed two each. From the West the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and Cleveland Rams Pinked one each. The leman of the year was a Westerner—Danny Fortmann, the Chicago Bears’ slashing 210-pound guard. The back of the year was an Easterner—Slingin’ Sammy Baugh, the Washington Redskins’ passing fool. Those two men played major roles in.leadipg their teams to the title in their respective divisions. The Redskins without Baugh

Despite the fact that he started :

His aerials were good for 316 yards—all but 16 of the total yards ‘made by his team. 'O’Brien’s tosses also enabled a teammate, Don: Looney, to sett a new mark of 14 passes caught in one game. But one of O'Brien’s passes was intercepted. / lip O’Brien completely outshone Baugh in his own back yard in the passing department, but the latter was not without glory as he booted the longest punt in the history of the pro game. Sammy got off a / quick kick inthe final quarter that! was good for an 85-yard net gain— from his own 13 to the Eagles two —that broke Ace Parker's 82-yard record.
