THAT was basketball on the greensward up at Madison Saturday where Wisconsin and Indiana football teams fought it out, 27-25. . . . But about 10 years ago Yale and Dartmouth put on a 33-33 tie grid thriller and only last season Manhattan and Marquette blew their

tops in a 45-41 scream, won by the Jaspers. Until Saturday Indiana U. only failed to convert once in seven « tries and then muffed three in four attempts . . . and the Badgers ah got three in four to carry off the Pigskin, ee Like in baseball, the : breaks decide the close ones. The upsetting business started last Thursday when South Carolina upended Clemson, continued Friday night when Villanova fell before Manhattan and Detroit was edged by Arkansas. . And you ‘ + don’t have to be told what happened on the major college grid front : Saturday. Football giants took it on the chin in all sectors and even + mighty Navy was held to a scoreless draw by up-and-coming John , Harvard. . . . New Year's Bowl promoters are worried no end by the * thinning ranks of the undefeated and untied. { In addition to the Navy-Harvard tie, the Saturday shockers ; Were Oklahoma over Santa Clara, Mississippi over Tulane, Kansas : over Jowa State, Washington State over Oregon State, U. C. L. A. oA : over Oregon, and a mild one in Duquesne over Marquette.

Indianapolis Capitals move east-

day to open the American League hockey warfare against the Indians Wednesday night. The Caps are still seeking that first victory of 1941, but this time

the opposition will be in their own league. The Detroit Red Wings defeated them again last night in another exhibition game, 5 to 3, but the Caps again forced them into an overtime. The three goals marked up last night gave the Indianapolis skaters a total of 10 in three games against major league competition. The Caps front line of Jud and Norm McAtee and Wendell Jamieson turned the hat trick in three minutes of the third period to force the Wings into the extra session. Left Winger Jud McAtee scored two quick goals and passed to Jamieson for the third. Connie Brown, an ex-Capital wing again proved the downfall of the Indianapolis squad. Brown scored two goals, one in the overtime, and had an assist to his credit. Again the Caps were capitalizing on the breaks. Two of their goals came when a penalty

baseball, Parker couldn't get going straight after winning their first two games. Parker got started Sunday and in one of the greatest one-man exhibitions ever staged in the National League, the 168-pourid Dodger: halfback led his club to an astounding 16-13 victory over the hitherto unbeaten New York Giants. The Dodgers were 1-5 underdogs, but: when Parker got through, the Giants had their Eastern Division lead trimmed to a half-game over the Washington Redskins. Only last week Parker was jarred badly by the Chicago Cardinals and sent to a hospital for two days with a mild brain concussion. At 29, he is one of the. league's oldest pro players and even his most ardent boosters were beginning to admit that maybe Ace’s oft-injured ankles and other bodily hurts had just about closed his career. But the former Duke star yesterday exploded in the face of the Giants. He gained 96 yards in 11 attempts, completed five of 13 for 88. He pitched a pass for one score, set up the other touchdown and the field goal. Altogether he accounted for 184 yards, 16 yards more than the entire team.

That Michigan team was pointed. That same Michigan team that halted Northwestern, 14 to 17.

Like many great athletic teams, the Irish are complacent and their anger is systematic. Ask a fighting Illini that irked Notre Dame by injuring Steve Juzwik in the last quarter.
