DALLAS, Tex., Nov, 14 (U. P)—The forward pass—that lightning aerial thrust adopted and adapted in the Lone Star State to a degree unapproached in other sections—is the football equalizer which may be thanked, or, blamed for the fact that today the Texas Aggies have a hair-line lead over the Texas Longhorns in the race toward ‘the SouthThe skillful blending of passing with power as

234 points to the enemy’s 17—one of the great records of the year, ahd one which has given them a clear lead in their league. Now take a look at this. Despite a great running attack, a good passing game, and six victories which averaged 34 points per game, thre Texas Longhorns rank no higher, than second because a fourth down toss of 18 yards executed by Baylor on Saturday stopped one of the most powerful squads ever compiled right in its tracks—T7-1. Texas has been called the “team that has everything” but the one

Earlham, Central Normal and Hose Poly have already taken leave, the last mentioned stuffing half the Conference title-plum in its pocket on the way out. - Saturday’s games, beyond thd individual rivalries involved, hold no special league significance, with Rose Poly already part royalty and St. Joe an almost certain comer to the ruling class. The most that remains is the picking of the All-Con-ference team—and the howls, The Butler-Washington U. clash at Butler bowl holds promise for the. likely Saturday stand-out. The Bulldogs face the passing threat of Bud Schwenk, invading triple-plat-ed half-back who last week tossed 31 completions in 48 tries to throw Washington a 53 to 12 victory over Illinois College. At Crawfordsville, Wabash and DePauw throw down a bone chewed over since 1890. Saturday’s clash will ‘be the 47th renewal of the rivalry between the two, in which Wabash has won 22 contests and DePauw 19. Five of the meetings were no dice, all scoreless.

P.).—The Professional Golfers’ Association at its annual meeting yesterday boosted first prize money in its annual champion - ship tournament from $1100 to $5000 The delegates approved the increase -by allotting total award money of $14,000 instead of the $6000 formerly granted. Under the new plan each of the : 32 qualifiers for Dudley the match play - ; rounds will receive at least $100, with $200 to second round players, $500 to quarter-finalists, $1000 to semi-finalists and $2000 for the runnerup.’ The match play field was pared |the from 64 to 32 players and each match play round was fixed at 36 holes, eliminating two rounds of 18 holes each under the former plan.

significance<-that of deciding which of the three unbeaten leaders is the best team in the state. Wallace will play at South Bend in tonight's battle, which will be the 13th arnual playoff between the eastern and western divisions of the Northern leagues. Since 1930 the ‘eastern squads have won six and the western elevens five contests. There have beer. no ties. For Wallace it will be the first chance ‘at the Northern crown, while Washington will be seeking its second title. Each team has won eight games in seasonal play, being unbeaten and untied. Caliber of opposition has Been equal for both.

Wallace Is ‘Mad’

Wallace, however, carries one advantage into the battle: It has a very bad “mad on.” The pride of the western circuit rests with the Hornets because Calumet region fans feel the eastern loop did them wrong in arranging the ElkhartWashington post-season game to appear as-the feature attraction in deciding the State championship. Elkhart previously "conceded to Washington the right of meeting Wallace in the playoff, so that Elkhart, with only one more game permitted in its season, could clash with Washington to decide a sectional rivalry. ‘As far ss Wallace fans are concerned, Washington is the official representative of eastern teams, and they claim the game will decide state superiority as well as Northern conference - recognition.

‘Small Fry’ ; For ~ that reason, Wallace is keyed to fight hard tonight. The Hornets . think they were being shoved aside as “small fry” competition when the east set up their Turkey Day tiff, and it hasn't set well with the Garyites. However, Elkhart’s only chance to prove its worth in the state race is to whip- Washington in the Nov. 20 contest, after Washington has beaten Wallace. This would make Blue Blazers state titlists. If Wallace beats Washington tonight, and Washington beats Elkhart. the Gary Hornets will be recognized as “pest in the state.”
