SLLETE CIEE Butler vs. Ohio- |B A Matter of Pride ';

Bulldogs May Salvage Season for ‘Tony’ By JIMMIE ANGELOPOLOUS Butler's Bulldogs and the Ohio University Bobcats will go at it tooth-and-tong tomorrow in Butler’s gridiron lair, but that isn’t why the fur will fly thick and fast. There's honor and pride and personal sentiment at stake in this fourth and final Mid-Ameri-can clash for Butler. It's going to be Seniors’ Day for some 200 high school students within the central Indiana area and it's going to be Dad's Day for the Bulldogs. For seven Butler seniors on the squad, it'll be Tony's Day. The seniors will try winning one for Coach Hinkle, the patriarch of Butler University football, who is on the brink of his first losing season after 28 years of successful tutoring. » The personal sentiment will have to weigh heavy. The Bulldogs have won only one game in seven meetings of the two schools, one ending in a tie. utler lost last year, 14 to 7. On the basis of comparative scores, Ohio will be odds-on favorite. The Bobcats tripped Western Reserve, 37 to 7, a team that defeated Butler, 6 to 0. The 2 and 5 record of the Bobcats belies the strength of the visiting team. Ohio has lost 21 to 0 to a strong Miami team, 18 to 13 to Cincinnati, which beat Butler, 16 to 7. Ohio defeated Duquesne, 14 to 13.

Hanover Squad Has Good Record

NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (UP)— They probably won't receive a bid to a major bowl game on New Year’s Day and their stars won't make All-America, but when it comes to records there isn't a team in the country in the class of little Hanover College in Indiana.

The Hoosiers’ brilliant T-forma-tion quarterback, Jim Peterson, led the nation’s little college football players in total offensive today with a total gain of 1371 yards in seven games. In addition, he had the second-best passing record among the small schools.

Hanover’s swivel-hipped halfback, Hank Treesh, topped the whole nation in scoring with 102 points on 17 touchdowns, was first among the little colleges in rushing with 1197 yards in 83 carries for an average of 14.4 yards per try, and~was fifth in pass receiving. Hanover’s star end, Bill Klein, was number one among the pass catchers with 36 that have covered 712 yards and scored six touchdowns. And the Hoosiers’ record as a team was even more impressive, According to the latest statistics released by the National Col-

ilegiate Athletic Bureau, Hanover

has amassed 4530 yards in its seven games for an average of 647.1 yards per game. The Panthers have completed 114 out of 141 passes for 1643 yards and the amazing percentage of .809.

Army-—-undefeated along with Michigan, Notre Dame, California and Clemson—also will be driving against once-beaten Penn. The Quakers always come up high for the Cadets so Army is only a 14%-point choice. An easy conquest should convert some of the doubters.
