WITH T. C. U. hanging on the ropes the clock ran out on Indiana U. Saturday and the Hoosiers had to accept defeat after making a gallant effort to pull the game out of the fire in a Garrison finish. . . . At any rate, the Hoosiers recaptured a lot of prestige and treated a capacity crowd to a grand performance. Impartial, veteran football observers: got 2 kick out of that one

‘as the Horned Frogs and Crimson traded punch for punch and pass for pass. . . . T. C. U, was superior on end runs and off-tackle

smashes because its line was the stronger . .. and tHat accounted

for the three touchdowns to two. .. That Indiana has another Hurrying Hoosier in Hillenbrand goes without saying, in the opinion of the fans who watched the fireworks, and he has a pretty fair running mate in’ Jacoby. . . . And of course Kyle Gillespie, the T. C. U. sparkplug, lived up to his press notices and won the admiration of the crowd for his ability to do anything . . . and good.

After the Notre Dame-Indiana game on Oct. 4 Coach Frank

Leahy of the Irish said the Hoosiers had the “makings” and predictea they would improve from Saturday to Saturday... .And the manner in which. they fought it out on the greensward against the Texas Frogs bears out Leahy’s opinion. That fracas came within just a. few yards of a 20-20 tie or a 21-20 Indiana victory and there was a lot of “suffering” and squirming on the T. C. U. bench during the Slofing moments of the bitter battle. ! . » | s x = THE NEW RULE governing subtitutions is right in the Texans’ lap and they benefitted by it no entl in ‘the case of super-star Gillespie. . they called him in for short “takes” to catch up on breath and steam, Incidentally, the Indiana points \were the first registered Bgainst -T. C. U. in three tilts this fall.

Bears, Giants (Steamroller

Pro Gridders

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 13 (U. P).— The National League football season still is an infant but it looks as if it’s over already unless somebody can ambush the New York Giants or Chicago Bears. Unless there’s an unprecedented

pionships and meet for the world’s

Dec. 14. From their early season form there is a very good chance that both will go through their regular campaigns undefeated. The Giants have won . four straight without drawing a deep breath, beating the Philadelphia Eagles twice, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Washington Redskins once each, Except for a trip across the river to play the Dodgers in Brooklyn, they have the rest of their games at the Polo Grounds. Good Rookies The ‘Giants have come up with a crop of rookies who have brought new life. Best of the crop appear to be George Franck, Minnesota’s All-American who uncorked a kick that went 70 yards from the line of scrimmage yesterday against the Eagles; Howie Yeager, a speed merchant from little Santa/ Barbara; Andy Marefos, a mustached Greek who hits like a baby tank; Marion Pugh, a dead-eye-Dick passer from

.Jthe Texas Aggies; and Francis X.

Reagan, a hard-running halfback from Penn. Those boys, mixed with the Giants’ old stand-bys like Tuffy Leemans, Mel Hein, Ward Cuff and others, will take the Giants

‘far.

The Bears appear to be more powerful than last year’s championship outfit if that is possible. They've clicked off three straight, beating the Packers, Rams and Cardinals, and have averaged 40 points a game. It looks as if overconfidence is the only thing that can stop the Bears. George Halas’ big job is to keep them keyed up for eight more games. Passing the Cardinals silly Sunday, the Bears hung up a 53-7 triumph over their South Side rivals before 34,688 fans. The Bears gained 613 yards and scored the most decisive victory in the 21-year series with the Cardinals. George McaFee cut loose with runs of 59 and 74

yards. Just 16 to 0 The Giants coasted to an eas 16-0 win over the Eagles before 30,842 paid customers at the Polo Grounds. Howie Yeager’s 39-yard touchdown run on a naked reverse featured the game. The Washington Redskins stayed in the running for the Eastern title, defeating Pittsburgh, 24-20, before a crowd of 18,733 at Forbes Field. The Steelers passed to two touchdowns in the final period. Playing their best game of the season, the Green Bay Packers riddled the Brooklyn Dodgers with passes and end sweeps for a 30-7 triumph before 15,621 at Green Bay. Don Hutson scored two touchdowns, one on a pass and the other on an end-around play. The Detroit Lions scored their first league victory, defeating the Cleveland Rams, 17-7, before 26,481 at Detroit. The Rams didn’t score until the last minute of play. The standings: EASTERN DIVISION

Race Victim

THOMPSON, Conn. Oct. 13 (U. P.) —Tony Willman, 37, Milwaukee, was killed yesterday when he was thrown from his car during a midget auto race. Just before the accident Willman established a new world’s record for midget racing cars on the half-mile track. : Willman was national midget car dirt track champion of just one week’s standing. He was tossed from his racer when the rear end of the car apparently became locked and the vehicle crashed into a guard rail with a terrific force.

Tony was a veteran of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and last appeared here in the special races held at the Fair Grounds Sept. 14.

Speedway Four Wins Golf Title

A quartet of Speedway golfers held the title today in a new form of golf competition which served as a perfect ending to the 1941 links season in Indianapolis. It was the best ball team championship of the city and the Speedway lads came home in front with a 61, nine under par. Bill Reed, Paul Sparks, Ray Roberson and

Howard Ely composed the winning combination. Reed dropped a 30foot putt on the 18th green for the team’s ninth birdie and an individual medal séore of 68. The Speedway team hit the curve at 29 and came home in 32, Lake Shore’s squad of Tony DeVito, Dick Byland, Peck Pierson and

quarterbacks this weekend. What will happen when the Cyclops clash? The gold of ‘Purdue must rise to the level of mighty Ohio State’s “high school” football Saturday. Northwestern and Michigan find their conference designs colliding at Evanston. It’s the nation’s No. 1 offering. While a courageous Indiana fought against time and Kyle Gillespie last Saturday the greats of the conference were just flexing their muscles. And what big arms you have, Grandma!

The Big Ten Tale

The Hoosiers were aired out, 20 to 14, but Minnesota swamped Illi-

nois, 34 to 6, under wraps." Northwestern routed Wisconsin, 41 to 14 and the men of Michigan crushed Pittsburgh, 40 to 0. * : Non-conference Notre Dame’s terrible touchdown _trio, Bertelli, Juzwik and Evans, marched on behind what\ appears to be one of the best forward walls in the business. They neutralized the wizardry of Georgia Tech, 20 to 0. With little Davey O’Brien looking on Gillespie showed the prostar and Fighting Hoosiers that he was a true successor to the great Texas Christian heritage of flinging frogs. Not even Davey or Sammy Baugh were ever more accurate. Like them he carried a tremendous back beside him, Frank Medanich. Kyle tossed touchdown tickets, ran back punts-40 and 50 yards and

Medanich smashed the Indiana line to bits. But the Hoosiers were not idle. Billy Hillenbrand found out he could pass. . So, look out, Nebraska. Even if you did score 32 points against Kan- . The Hoosiers may just fly over t big line. j Among other things his good right arm -kept the goal post shadows on Texas uniforms the last quarter. That ‘he threw one touchdown and ‘caught ' another makes Billy a more versatile problem for the Cornhuskers Saturday. The Hoosier line looked much better. Doloway can boot and pass that ball, too. Go Northwestern The wreck of the Ramblers at Georgia Tech was an easy task for the Irish. Who can stop them? Bertelli lost eight yards on the opening play. So, he just tossed three straight for a touchdown. The wizards of Georgia could only complete one. Steve Juzwik and Owen (Dippy) Evans are still’ not being introduced to the tacklers.
