TOM SILER, Chicago Sun—Can one actually apply the word “upset” to Wisconsin's 17-7 victory over Ohio State, Baylor’s 10-7 triumph over Texas Christian, Harvard’s 19-14 squeeze of Princeton, West Virginia's 24-0 drubbing or Penn’s 19-0 beating of the Army?

Much of a so-called upset is attributable to the natural pessimism of football coaches. Recently one tutor frankly described reason for just such victories as stunned the nation last week-end. “It’s like this,” the coach explained. “We've seen lots of strange things happen on a football field and they’ll continue happening as long as 22 players keep battling away. But you've got to prepare the boys for every game as if a real fight were coming up. “If the players feel that their coach thinks the foe is easy, you're lost. The pressure must be on. If you keep bearing down, there’s no limit to how high you can go; conversely, there’s no limit to the depths you can sink if you take your opponents lightly.” So the coaches keep crying every week, hoping to impress the boys and their loyal alumni of the hardships ahead each Saturday.

That ‘World Series of 1943’

AT A SHOW put on in New York recently by the Circus Saints and Sinners at which Cardinal Manager William Southworth, alias Billy the Kid, confessed to the great Yank Robbery, the stage was decorated to represent the “World Series of 1943.” Judge Landis, it was announced, had ruled that a team could not have able-bodied players because of the war, and that a team must consist of no more than four players, not necessarily of the same sex . .. Cobwebs covered the dugouts and stands. The customers were old folks and babies . . . The teams consisted of four aged players, propped up with canes and crutches, some with ear trumpets ... A nurse accompanied each team, giving hypodermics. . { No Post-Season Grid Game Here

THE Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce has abandoned efforts to stage a Great Lakes-Iowa Seahawks post-season football game at Butler bowl on Dec. 19 for the benefit of the navy relief fund. } ~The weather risk, lateness of the date and intensified war activity at the two stations facing the football players caused service authorities tc oppose the extra game on their heavy grid schedules. "Canceling the game was made official in a letter from Rear Admiral John Downes, commandant at the Great Lakes naval. training station, to Donald B. Keller, Junior Chamber of Commerce vice president in charge of war projects.

Willard Reed To Box Bruce

They've advanced Williard Reed to the main go circle. The local heavyweight professional boxer who was a Golden Gloves ace here four years, has been signed to meet Red Bruce, veteran mauler who is recognized as Indiana state champion in the heavy division. Young Reed and Bruce are to spar over the scheduled 10-round route in the top attraction at the armory next Friday night (Nov. 13).

Reed started amateur boxing around 1938 and the following year won the middleweight title in Times-Legion Golden Gloves competition. He moved to the lightheavy ranks in 1940, won that crown and repeated in 1941. Early this year the fast-stepping youngster

Detroit Routs Rangers, 12-5, For Record

By UNITED PRESS The Detroit Red Wings set a new scoring record for their home ice Thursday night .and registered the

highest score of the National league hockey season by trouncing the New York Rangers, 12-5. The win was the second in as many starts for the Wings and placed them in first place, idle Toronto and Montreal dropping into a tie for second. Detroit, led by Left Wing Carl Liscombe, scored five goals in the first period, one in the second and six in the third. Liscombe had three goals and. four assists, another new scoring record for Detroit’s Olympia rink. Tiny Steve Buzinski, the Rangers’ 140-pound goalie, tried valiantly to stem the Wings but was hampered by frequent New York penalties which several times left the losers with only four men on the ice. Buzinski made 39 saves to 14 for Johnny Mowers, Detroit goalie. The Chicago Black Hawks, last team in the league to swing into action, handed the Boston Bruins their third straight defeat, 5-1, at Chicago. | he is pointing for Texas.
