ALSO settled Saturday was the Hoosier State’s Big Three grid championship and Notre Dame is the holder by virtue of an 19-6 victory ovér Indiana in early October. . « » And you know by now that Indiana knocked off Pur-

due and kept that Old Oaken Jug. Notre Dame got to the wire undefeated in nine starts, eight victories and a tie, a handsome present to Coach Frank Leahy in his freshman, year under the den Dome where he used to romp on the greensward under Knute Rockne. Incidentally, this is Notre Dame’s first undefeated season since Rockne’s last year at the Irish helm—1930. CL The capacity crowd of 56,000 that saw that Notre Dame 20-18 thriller over Southern California really saw something to store away in their memories for football stove league fuel. | The battle developed into an: aerial bombardment as two rugged lines refused to give and early in the contest the great crowd sensed the fact that a spectacular show was in the making. . ..

It Was a Sophomore Year, So the Parade Continues

By BOB FLEETWOOD

The shadows of the future are

cast and bright is the horizon with

things to come in Big Nine football, so draw the curtain — the show

is ended for 1941. Great backs went out of the collegiate game Saturday afternoon and some of their names will be remembered in the All-American files. Men like Bob Westfall of Michigan, Bill DeCorrevont of Northwestern, Bruce Smith of Minnesota and Steve Juzwik of Notre Dame. But the lads to. whom Saturday's have been most kind are just beginning their gridiron careers. The future shines with deeds to come in two more years of touchdown toting by Otto Graham, Angelo Bertelli, Dick Griffin, Bud Higgins, Herman Frickney, Pat Harder, Tom Kuzma and Billy Hillenbrand. Football fans saw more than just Hillenbrand pounding and churning in the mud Saturday afternoon as arch rival Purdue -fell, 7 to 0. For Indiana came to life: and Hilly wasn’t alone in that rain and snow. There was a Gold and Black eleven out there, too, that needed only a scoring kick in their sophomore stride to return to better days.. - The Irish Were Great

Frank Leahy took up where Knute Rockne left off and although his

patterns are radically different the future seems t¢ hold a mantle for him, too. Irish football teams are always good and now and then they are great. Notre Dame of 1941 was such in its own peculiar way. They completed an unbeaten season when Southern Cal was erased, by the whistling passes of Bertelli, 20 to 18. Bertelli and Evans will pass and plunge another day for Leahy. There is little doubt about who is the nation’s No. 1. The Golden Gophers of Minnesota are terrific

land the record book points ever

upward. Other teams suffer upsets and humiliating ties on luckless Saturdays, but never the Golden Gophers. Wisconsin was victim No. 17 in a row, 41 to 6, giving Coach Bierman his sixth conference crown in eight years. Put away that mirror, Bernie. 4 Coach Paul Brown came out of

| the Michigan-Ohio State game with

his head up and his “high school” football approved for that humiliating, 40 to 0, defeat of 1940 was partially erased in a 20-t0-20 tie. Nebraska couldn’t be denied for ever and Iowa was the victim, 14 to 13. Coach Bob Zuppke’s farewell to football was a swan song. Northwestern feted and paraded him, then smashed his football team, 27 to 0. The new mentor at Illinois will find a lot of fight, a ‘wonderful history and Don Griffin.

Future Is Bright

Lou Saban, Charles Jacoby, Earl Doloway and Bob White, plus Hillenbrand, will be in that Crimson backfield - again next year, while only three front wall stalwarts leave the line. The Boilepmakers were clearly outclassed Saturday in the game for Hoosier honors. But there are sophomores aplenty in Mal Elward’s list: and the Old Oaken Bucket doesn’t come to stay. Mud and snow stifled the backs in this annual feud but Indiana’s power was definite and undeniable in the closing quarter. ' - Hillenbrand passed to Hasapes on

; the four, then plunged the rest of

the way for the game’s only score. Bob White and Earl Doloway, along with Hilly, Moi the credit for the ‘Hoosier victory. Indiana ends should improve with age and two have time in which to do it. i | If Purdue can outmaneuver the injury jinx and find the offensive answer, then John is set to strut again. = Bob Johnson, their great ‘sophomore center, missed a few minutes of the final quarter. aging

The final standings: W. L. Tie Pct.

Indiana to mar an otherwise perfect “60”-minute season. Out of unknown material shaped around the accurate arm of a gangling sophomore Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame built a squad that rivals, the good old days. '

Séuthern California came to

South Bend primed for their game|’

of the year and they played it. The Passing Show

They came by air and that pigskin sparkled and dipped all over

Rockne Stadium but they weren’t

the only ones throwing that ball. Two big, rugged lines cut backs down at their starting points. The Irish, always aggressive, always the opportunists, stopped three ° tries for point and Frank Leahy had a name in football.

Angelo Bertelli, may his tribe increase, ended the season with" an unbelievable average in the tough inter-sectional league of .569. He hit 13 out of 21 Saturday for a 70 out of 123 season. Put down 1027 yards for this lad.

Don’t forget Dove and Kovatch whose end play and sticky fingers were on the receiving ends. The slender Italian had only 10 interceptions against ball clubs that were looking for him. What if he gets better? The Gophers at full strength are something a coach dreams about in the idle seasons when the fire is warm and the resting easy. With Bruce Smith and his company acting like the Gophers arent supposed ‘to, Wisconsin was a breeze. They were versatile and Smith was everywhere. They came through air and on land. ‘The Badgers could only watch. The Mini tried to give Zup a victory. - They. passed all over Dyche Stadium but Northwestern had been denied too many times this season. Billy DeCorrevont came out of football like he went into it—in a blaze of glory. He

was ‘everywhere, throwing passes,|

making long runs and blocking like a veteran. Bob Westfall, the man who ran beside Tom Harmon, left a lot of memories behind him but he couldn't spoil Coach Paul Brown’s inwroduction to Michigan. teams were all offense with power to the depths and futures full of the same.

N.Y. Giants Face Hot Seat or Gas Chamber, Bears or Packers

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Champions of the Eastern Division of the National Football League for the sixth time in eight years, the New York Giants today occupied the unenviable position of preparing to meet one of those western juggernauts, the Green Bay Packers or the Chicago Bears, in the East-West playoff for the world’s football title.

That leaves the Giants virtually in the same position as a prisoner

Big Bad Boars

NEW YORK, Nov. 24 (U. P.) —The Chicago Bears, who became the first National League team to‘ score 313 points in one season yesterday by defeating Detroit, 24-7, also became' the first team to pass the 3000 mark for yards gained this year. . Coupling their new. scoring | record with a new mark of 25 first downs in one game, the Bears made 387 yards against the Lions, bringing their total gain for the season to 3371 yards. Green Bay remained second to the Bears in total gain by increasing its total to 2080 yards in g 54-7 triumph over Pittsburgh.

The Irish Are Asking for It

Times Special : NOTRE DAME, Ind. Nov. 24. —

Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame had better figure on doing a lot of

deep breathing during the next ten months, because he’ll have to draw a deep breath next Oct. 3 and hold it for nine weeks. The nine-game 1942 foothall schedule, officially announced by Leahy as athletic director after epproval by the Faculty Board in Control of Athletics, presents porhaps the most formidable array of opposition - ever faced by a Noira Dame team. : : The dddition Michigan, Wisconsin and Stanford in place of Indiana, Arizona and Carnegie Tech does considerable to put starch in a card that'was already stiffer than most schools play.

Five of the nine games will be played here, in view of Notre Dame’s ‘centennial ‘celebration, which will start next September and continue for one year.. The loss of six regulars by graduation, and the possible loss of other regulars and reserves through conscription does not make Leahy’s task any more cheerful. He will have to lean heavily on one of the smallest freshman squads Notre Dame has had in years, although the yearlings have shown signs of class in scrimmages against the varsity this autumn. The card, which is devoid of open dates even kefore the Southern] California*game at Los Angeles, which ends the season, follows:

. 3—Georgia Tech at Notre Dame. . 10—~Stanford at Notre Dame, . 17-—Wisconsin at Madison. . ,24—Illinois at Champaign. . '31=—Navy at Not re yo ame. . i—=Army . Ti Michigan New Notre Dame v. 21—Northwestern at Notre Dame. a DY 8—Southern California _at Lo ngeles.

waiting to find out whether he gets the hot seat or the gas chamber. Currently, the Packers have a halfgame lead in the Western Division but only because they've played and won one more game than the Bears. Since the Packers have only one game remaining—next Sunday with the Redskins at Washington—and the Bears have only two—one with the Eagles at Philadelphia Sunday and the finale with the Cardinals— there's a very good chance that the Western race will end in a deadlock. Thus the Bears and Packers may have to meet in a Western playoff Dec. 14, causing postponement of the championship game with the Giants until Dec. 21.

The Giants showed their mettle when they staged a blazing come-

back in the last 8 minutes 51 sec

onds of play to conquer the Washington Redskins, last year’s Eastern champs, 20-13, yesterday before 49.317 at the Polo Grounds.

It was a thriller which saw 23 points packed in the final period— two touchdowns by the' Redskins and a touchdown and a field goal by the Giants. Going into the final quarter the Giants led, 10-0. Then the Redskins, with Sammy Baugh pitching, grabbed two quick touchdowns to go in front, 13-10. The Giants scored a field ' goal—Cuff booting it from the Redskins’ 38—

and a touchdown—George Franck sweeping end for seven yards—in the last 52 seconds. While the ‘Giants were nailing down their laurels, the Packers and Bears kept up their relentless touchdown parade. The Packers slaughtered the Steelers, 54-7, before 15,2202 at Pittsburgh. Taking advantage of the breaks and Pittsburgh fumbles, the Packers scored four touchdowns in six minutes in the second period. Hal Van Every led the Green Bay surge, scoring three touchdowns, one on an 86yard run. The Chicago Cardinals moved into third place in the Western Division with a 7-0 victory over the Cleveland Rams before a crowd of 5000 at Cleveland. The standings:
