Iowa trounced Nebraska, 27-0, and Indiana had a tough time beating the Cornhuskers, 12-0, making the ‘Hawkeyes look too good for the Hoosiers. Maybe so. But it’s-home-coming at Bloomington Saturday and I have a hunch Bo McMillin’s boys will come through by a whisker to tickle the Crim-

Halas Expects To Enter Navy
CHICAGO, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— George Halas, coach of the Chicago Bears, five times champions of the National Football league, said tonight that he expected to enter the navy as a lieutenant commander. Close friends said that the Bears’ game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles would be his last. When questioned, Halas said “that is probably true. However, I haven't heard anything definite from the navy department as yet.” Halas began his pro football career in- 1919 as athletic director for the A. E. Staley Co. of Decatur, Ill. His job was to organize a pro team as an advertising medium. In 1921 he changed the name of the team to the Bears and brought it to Chicago. Since 1921 the Bears have won 179 national league games, lost 60 and tied 27. They will seek their 18th consecutive vietory against the Eagles Sunday.

Rickey Can't Talk About Brooklyn Job
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— Whether Branch Rickey, general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, would take qver the same job with the Brooklyn Dodgers remained a mystery today following his return to St. Louis from a visit here. “I very definitely have not done anything about the Brooklyn Dodgers nor have I seen or talked with anyone about the club,” Rickey said last night as he boarded a plane for St. Louis. Asked whether negotiations to name him successor to Larry MacPhail, had been broken off, Rickey replied: “I don’t think any negotiations I have entered into all this year have been broken off. “I don’t know what I will do in the future and I don’t know whether I will stay in baseball,” he said. “I hope . . . well, I thought I had a hope. “There are reasons why I cannot talk at this time,” Rickey added. “I am glad there is all this interest
in baseball but I can add nothing to it.”

South Bend Washington Rated A-1 Among High School Teams
By UNITED PRESS Washington of South Bend stood out today as the top team among
five unbeaten squads in the race for
the mythical state football crown.
* Victor in six straight contests—all of them impressive against strong opposition—the Washington eleven was heavily favored to defeat La Porte Friday night. Then, only South Bend John Adams would stand in the Panthers’ path to an unblemished record.
A rating of the state’s outstanding elevens—based on games won, decisiveness of the score, and caliber of competition—shaped up as follows: w. . South Bend J ashingion 6 . West Lafaye 8 . E.

Drubbed Riley, 32-6
One of the five unvanquished, leaders is due for a tumble Friday when East Chicago Washington bate tles Whiting. Three unbeaten teams were toppled last week, when Marion failed in seeking its sixth win against Muncie Central, Sheridan was stopped at five straight by Kirklin and Michigan Oity ‘bounced off of South Bend Central. South Bend Washington’s chief claim to the top spot in state rankings came last week when the Pan-
max a twoeyear struggle that began
last year when they went through
a perfect-record season only to meet defeat at the hands of champion Lew Wallace in the inter-di-vision playoff of the Northern conference. This year the situation may be reversed, with Washington sinking the winner of the western division to bring the crown East. However, a surplus of power among East Chicago teams and Whiting will make it a hard fight for the Panthers.
