Last Saturday the right side of Notre Dame’s line caved in against the mighty men of Michigan and that devastating Wolverine attack represents power plus . . . but perhaps the Ohio*State
line will be equal to the torrid thrusts
come Saturday in Columbus. At any rate, we’ll take the Ohio Bucks ~ in what promises to be a rip-roaring tossup attraction . . . just to be contrary to the ‘dope in this dizzy football season. © If Michigan's great team wasn’t fairly y used up last week in that thriller victory Eddie Ash = at Notre Dame, and in the event the Wolverines crush Ohio State, they will have to be tabbed as super colossal.
Football strength apparently is more evenly divided
in the Midwest this fall and hardly a week passes that an underdog comes through or that an unlooked for huge Score turns up. ... It’s been a wonderful season from the standpoint of entertainment for the fans.

Sinkwich Approaches All-Time
Mark for Gaining Yardage
By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—The triple-threat back today is doing a “fade
out” from big time collegiate football. The extent to which grid specialists have replaced the talented stars,
In the Old Oaken Bucket battle at West Lafayette, the choice is Indiana over Purdue by a couple of touchdowns « « + although the Hoosier classic doesn’t always follow the form sheet. . . . Underdog Purdue doesn’t intend to yield yardage without a struggle and if the Boilermakers’ passes click, ycu never can teil. » t 4 8 8 8 - Notre Dame is picked over Northwestern and we don’t care to guess on the margin of points. . . . It looks from here owing to the strong showing the Wildtats made against Wisconsin last week, barely a loser in the fleeting seconds. . . . If Otto Graham, one of the topnofch pass pitchers, has a gcod day, the Irish are going to have trouble. ; And you'll recall that Northwestern scored 16 points against Michigan, losing 34-16. . . . In other Hoosier games St..Joseph’s is selected over Valparaiso and Oberlin of
tional fight with the Old Oaken
who in former years ran, passed and punted, is clearly indicated by the latest compilations of the American football statistical bureau. The
figures show no player able to gain ers in all three individual departments. The closest thing to the versatile allsaround back that every coach demanded and counted upon a few seasons back is Frankie Sinkwich, ace of the University of Georgia's undefeated and untied outfit.
Approaches Schwenk’s Mark
Sinkwick: is the only player able
{ to rate in the “top ten” in two departments. The Bulldog star is fourth among the passers and eighth among the ball carriers.
Sinkwich has neted 1123 yards by passing and 692 by rushing for an ' aggregate of 1815 yards in nine games and a commanding lead in ~ total offense. The brilliant Georgia youngster is virtually a cinch to establish a new all-time total offense record. He is only 113 yards short of the mark “Bud” Schwenk of Washington uni- - versity of St. Louis set a season ago and has two contests remaining. If Sinkwich even approackes his seasonal ground gaining average in the battles against *Auburn and Georgia Tech he’ll become the first back in modern history to gain 2000 or more yards in a season,
Increases Effectiveness Sinkwich has compiled a remarkable record during his three seasons of play. As a sophomore he gained 599 yards in seven games, boosted that total to 1816 yards in 10 games as a junior and now is set to soar above that figure. The increased effectiveness of Sinkwich this season over a year . ago is indicated by the fact he’s _ kandled the ball 79 times less during "the 1942.campaign than he did last year and yet is but one yard short
of his total gains of 1941.
Paul Governali of Columbia is second in total offense with 1366 ¥ yards and Bill Dutton of Pittsburgh third with 1256 yards..
‘Scat Back’ Governali missed a chance to take over the individual passing lead when he had his first poor day of the season last Saturday against Navy. He hit on only three out of 10 fosses against the Middies. Ray Evans of Kansas is the leader with 83 completions . Governali is second with 76 comple- * tions in 146 chances and Turnbull

169 attempts,
a place among the nation’s 20 lead-
160 pound “scat back,” continues to pace the ball carriers with a recordbreaking total of 1145 yards on 145 attempts. His mark tops the 1121 yard total “Whizzer” White of Colorado set in 1937. Bob Steuber of Missouri is second with 848 yards and Gene Fekete of Ohio State with 817 yards. Cullen Rogers of Texas A. & M,, tied a seasonal mark when he caught eight passes against Rice te run his total of receptions to 35. John Ferguson of California and Fred Salem of Texas Mines are tied for second place with 24 passes caught.

The Panthers were favored Saturday, but the East Chicago school js no set-up, having eight straight victories and no defeats behind it. The game virtually is for the mythical state crown, awarded by popular concession to the foremost member of the undefeated ranks. South Bend now leads the state schools with nine victories over rugged opposition, but a tie Saturday could throw both the leaders down a peg and cause dispute about state superiority. The standings:

Good Good Fair } Fair Fair The race for top spot will be decided by the game between the two Washingtons, western and eastern + loop champs in the Northern eonference, but no post-season playoff has been arranged to decide the struggle between Shortridge and West Lafayette. Although Shortridge exhibited great power in downing Indianapolis Tech for its ninth victory the highscoring West Lafayette team was viewed as a shade better by virtue of its huge margins of victory. Saturday’s playoff clash will complete the high school football season unless another ‘post-season contest is arranged. However,~a 10-game limit and a Dec. 1 deadline exists under I. H. S. A.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (U. P.).—President Branch Rickey of the Brook= lyn Dodgers was expected to announce today whether Leo Duroche would remain as manager of the team next season—with all indication pointing toward retention of the Flatbush pilot. Durocher’s status has been a question ever since former President
the St. Louis Cardinals to become president and general manager of the Dodgers. Rickey and Durocher have had a series of conferences since the for-
Lippy Leo would have to agree to a number of ultimatums laid down by Rickey. One of these reportedly was that Durocher, regular shortstop when he took over the managerial reins in 1939, would have to reinstate himself on the active player list. Another demand reportedly was,
that Durocher would have to re-
place Coaches Chuck Dressen and Red Corriden, former Indianapolis pilot, with Burt Shotten and Ray Blades. This would leave Shotten as a Rickey-approved manager on the scene if Durocher was called into the army. He currently is in 3A. Other reports were that Rickey insisted on “more gentlemanly” conduct on the part of the swaggering Dodgers and a straight salary, instead of the pay and bonus contract he had under MacPhail. Durocher took over after the Dodgers finished seventh in 1938. In his first season he brought them up to third and finished second in 1940. The Dodgers then won the pennant in 1941 and finished second to St. Louis last season.
