Cornell, Tennessee and Texas Aggies Ride Crest in National Gridiron Race
Win, Lose or Draw
By FRANCIS E. STAN.
Monday Morning Quarterbacking . . . Plus Potpourri
The Redskins are still on the warpath and Georgetown is hoping to
get an invitation to the Sugar Bowl if it can't get the Rose. Uncle Clark
Griffith is 70 years old today and, don’t look now, but those all-America
floperoos in professional football are beginning to deliver. With the
most notable exception, that is, of Mr. Marshall Goldberg and Milton
Popovich of the Chicago Cardinals.
Parker Hall, Mississippi's 1938 all-America halfback, has been a star
all year, of course. There is nothing to indicate that he is tailing off.
Almost single-handedly he passed and ran the Cleveland Rams to a 14-3
victory over heavily favored Detroit. Of his 25 passes 16 were completed
and both touchdowns were scored on them. Hall ran his total of com
pletions to 76 out of 155 for the year and lacks only 5 of tying Sammy
Baugh's pro record.
The week before, Davey O'Brien who was leading Goldberg in the
race for the No. 1 floperoo played 59 minutes against the Green Bay
Packers and broke an aerial mark. Against the Packers last Sunday he
made 19 completions. Yesterday, against the Chicago Bears, he com
x uui Ui uu, ruiu, Uiuuici, uavcjf a UCCil (Jxa„Ylxxg agalXXdb 6UII1C
pretty tough hombres over this stretch.
But What Are Fellows Like Farkas, Todd, et Al.?
In this same game the Bears started the closest thing to an all
America backfield in the league—Patterson of Baylor, McLeod of Dart
mouth, Luckman of Columbia and Osmanski of Holy Cross—and they
did all right. They were too much for Davey and the Bears won, 27-14.
And ... oh, yes, Johnny Pingel has been no drawback this year to the
Lions.
By and large, though, you can have the all-Americas, In the first
place Messrs. Goldberg, Hall, O’Brien, McLeod, Popovich, Luckman,
Osmanski and Pingel are all backs. Since when have football teams been
using eight backs at a time? Yet, from time to time each found a place
on somebody’s all-America last winter, and so that makes them all
Americas and entitled to some extra awe.
But with a bow to their unchallenged prowess, if they were all
Americas what are fellows like Andy Farkas, Dick Todd, Clem Stralka,
Sam Boyd of Pittsburgh, Frank Filchoek and a couple of dozen others?
unce Again—riease rass rne sugar Bowl
Safely over the New York University hurdle Georgetown now is able
to lay a two-year record of 15 victories and a tie game with Syracuse on
the line and wait for bowl bids. The Hoyas aren't coming out and asking
for invitations. Indeed, they have gone so far as to throw up a screen
of uncertainty as to their postseason policy. But if New Orleans would
like Georgetown to play in the Sugar Bowl—say against Tennessee or the
Texas Aggies or Cornell or Missouri—all it will take is a brief phone call
to clinch the deal.
Georgetown’s schedule over the last two years has been against it.
Last year, when the Hoyas were unbeaten and untied, they had the poor
taste to play Randolph-Maeon, Roanoke and Hampden-Sydney. The
only double-talk name they seem to have missed was Simone Simone.
This year they played a harder schedule, but a slate that didn’t compare
with most of the other logical bowl teams up to date.
But here is something the bowl promoters might consider. George
town lost Father McDonough this year. The morning that Britain and
France declared war on Germany Father Mac passed away. It probably
was the greatest sorrow in Georgetown history.
It Will Be Called McDonough Coliseum
The Hoyas opened this year against Temple ... a big, tough Temple
team that had a murderous schedule. It was a team pointed for national
honors. In the last 30 seconds the Owls had a 2-0 lead, but in movie
style a guard named Augie Lio kicked a sensational, sharply angled field
goal and won for Georgetown, 3-2. That game was dedicated to Father
McDonough and so was the New York University game. Those kids
weren’t fooling. They dedicated those games and they won them.
Temple? Sure, Carnegie Tech nosed out the Owls and so did Pittsburgh,
Holy Cross and Villanova, but Georgetown softened Temple up and broke
its spirit and wrecked its hope that night in Philadelphia. Temple? The
Owls still licked Texas Christian and routed Boston College and Bucknell.
And it seems safe to say that at no point in the season were the Owls
tougher than when Georgetown faced them.
Here's something the bowl promoters might consider. Georgetown
never has played a bowl game. The Hilltop wants to play now . . .
but in a big bowl game. The Hoyas want to dedicate a game on New
Year Day to Father Mac because . . .
They need, and desperately, a fieldhouse. They want a supercoliseum.
This takes money. And the big reason why they want an indoor sports
palace is because Father Mac struggled in vain to get them one, died
before his task was done, and they can think of no more fitting memorial
than McDonough Coliseum.
And Today Uncle Clark Turns 70
Forty years ago Clark Griffith was named the Old Fox of baseball by
some unnamed baseball writer. He was pitching for Cap Anson’s Colts.
He was called the Old Fox because the little fellow with the big, black
eyebrows couldn’t throw his fast ball through an old-fashioned, glass
beaded portiere, and yet he won 30 games a season.
Today Clark Griffith is 70 years old, and in his little upstairs office
at the ballyard today they were to celebrate . . . Griff, his family and
about 1/1,000.000th of his friends.
We don’t want to sound maudlin. In the first place it isn't an occasion
for it. But with another bow to a fellow named George Presto Marshall,
who undoubtedly is one of the greatest sports promoters and showmen in
the country and whose Redskins, week by week, make the Marshall motto
of “my great civic institution” sound less ridiculous, Clark Calvin Griffith
still stands supreme as Washington's No. 1 sports figure.
Mr. Marshall will be there sitting right near Griff. And G. Presto
will be the first to admit it. They belong to different schools . . .
Griffith and Marshall. The Old Fox is an ultraconservative and one of
those for-the-game's-sake fellows. Mr. Marshall is a keen idea-generator
who at the moment holds the upper hand because his Redskins strictly
are tops and Griff's Nationals strictly are sixth-place. But the Old Fox
remains No. 1, which is about the biggest tribute he could gain.
Colorado Mines Gridder Due
Civic Honor as Ace Scorer
*->J tuc naouwnvi.u *
NEW YORK. Nov. 20.—If the
people of Golden, Colo., elect Coach
John" 'lason mayor, they will
have :ct a statue to his ablest
pup: d Madden.
Fo .file Mason has tutored
Colorado Mines into its first con
ference football title in decades,
Madden has given the school its first
national football scoring leader in
history.
The husky Colorado halfback, in
eight games, has punched across 19
touchdowns and booted three extra
points for a total of 117 points. That
givco iiiiii icauaomp uvci i_/uii uic
berum, Manchester (Ind.) captain,
who also has made 19 touchdowns,
but who has no conversions to his
credit.
Lieberum has been the scoring
leader almost since the start of the
season, although Madden drew
within shouting distance a week ago
when he scored six times against
Western State of Gunnison, Colo.
Tommy Harmon, Michigan’s great
back, leads the major college outfits
with 93 points, made up of 13

Two Bowl Dates
For Louisiana
/
Teams Loom
Tulane's Is Assured,
State Normal May
Battle Rockets
By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 20.—
Louisiana, that football-mad land
where a fullback once was made a
State Senator for his grid exploits,
may have two of its college teams
in post-season bowl games this year
Tulane is considered hereabout as
a cinch for the Sugar Bowl and
now Louisiana Normal College,
champion in one conference and
leading the standings in another,
might get into a “brain bowl” game
with Slippery Rock Teachers of
Pennsylvania.
Normal has won its first nine
games, roiling up ibu points to op
ponents’ 18 and gaining an average
of more than 300 yards a game.
All of that seemed so much wasted
effort, as far as national glory was
concerned, until yesterday it became
known Slippery Rock was looking
for an opponent to replace Mary
ville <Mo.) Teachers, who tenta
tively withdrew from a proposed
“brain bowl” game—so-called be
cause the contestants were to be
teachers’ colleges, Seven Mary
ville players were going to National
Guard camp and would be unable to
play. The athletic director was
maneuvering to have them excused.
Normal officials, although they
would not commit themselves, let it
be known they "definitely were in
terested” in a bowl game.
Slippery Rock has completed its
schedule unbeaten and untied, but
Normal plays Mississippi Teachers
Thursdav and Southwestern Louisi
ana Institute the following Thurs
day.
The Normal demons already have
won the Louisiana Intercollegiate
Conference, composed of five schools,
and top the Southern Intercol
legiate Athletic Association stand
ings with five victories.
Another question: When could the
game be played? The St. Joseph;
(Mo.) Chember of Commerce, spon- !
soring the game, wants it to be
December 2. That is too early for
Normal in view of its schedu^, and
it gets mighty cold in Missouri after
that.
'Brain Bowl' Football
Battle Is Assured
Slippery Rock
St. Joseph (Mo.) Sponsors
To Get Another Foe if
Maryville Can't Play
By the Associated Press.
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa., Nov. 20.—
The hangup Slippery Rock Football
team, the champion of Pennsyl
vania teachers’ colleges, that has
won more games than any other
leading Eastern college this season,
seemed assured of a “brain bowl”
setto today.
Plans for a post-season game with
the Maryville (Mo.) Teachers, who
have a record of 18 straight wins,
went askew Saturday when the
westerners announced seven ol
their stars would leave for National
Guard training November 24, the
day before the proposed contest.
However, E. A. Davis, Maryville
athletic director, said last night he
was trying to get the players ex
cused from National Guard camp
to play November 25. It Is also pos
sible, he said, that Maryville could
play on December 2—which is all
right with Slippery Rock.
St. Joseph (Mo.) Chamber of
Commerce, sponsor of the “Brain
Bowl” tilt, made known that if the
Bearcats couldn’t make it, some
other teachers’ college would be in
vited to play Slippery Rock at St.
Joseph.
While the unbeaten and untied
Rockets were casting about for a
sure “Brain Bowl” opponent, the
Louisiana State Normal eleven sent
out word they were interested—pro
vided they win their two remaining
games.
The Louisiana squad has won
nine and leads the Southern In
tercollegiate Athletic Association
standings with five conference tri
umphs.
The Rockets have chalked up 202
points to their eight opponents’ 20.
Their season windup Saturday was
a 54-0 whitewash of the California
(Pa.) Teachers, which came as a
“birthday gift” to N. Kerr Thomp
son, Slippery Rock coach for 24
years, who was 51 that day.

ANOTHER MILESTONE —By JIM BERRYMAN
Colonials Just Beginning to Hit
Stride, Says Coach, Prepping
For Bucknell and W. Va.
lit »»ia r, niau.x,
About this time every autumn a
coach with three defeats charged
against his record and only twoj
games to go usually concentrates on
that great collegiate pursuit of char- j
acter building or begins remodelling
his eleven for next year, but not Bill1
Reinhart of George Washington.
“We have only begun to play foot
ball,” he said today, thumbing
through scout reports on Bucknell!
and West Virginia, and if he’s cor
rect Butler. Georgetown and Clem
son can thank their lucky star they
caught the Colonials earlier in the ;
campaign. George Washington
played its best game of the season ]
in chalking up a 14-7 decision over
Kansas last Saturday, and for the
first time showed the power and co- j
ordination expected of it.
But there is good reason for the j
turn of events—two good reasons as
a matter of fact and the most im
portant is Tom Grady’s brilliant ball
toting. Making his first start at the
tailback position Master Gradv did
everything a coach could ask of him
and his work paved the way to vic
tory. He was particularly successful
at sweeping the ends, continually
breaking fast and out-running the
Hawk flankmen for sizeable gains.
And because he showed enough
foot to be dangerous around the
wings he gave Walt Fedora a chance
to drive inside for more valuable
yardage.
Praise for Fedora.
Gwinn Henry, Kansas coach,
called Fedora the best fullback he
has seen this year—certainly better
than any in the Big Six Conference,
and his tribute indirectly reflected
praise of Grady’s running. Kansas
couldn't pull in its line to stop
Fedora because Grady would go
around end, and it couldn't spread
it too far to halt him without laying
itself open to Walt’s pile-driving
tactics.
Consequently it was in warm water
all afternoon.
Not to be overlooked is Koko Ko
koski’s guard play. A victim of ap
pendicitis after playing in the in
augural against Davis-Elkins, Ko
koski apparently is back to stay in
the starting line-up after being pre
maturely counted out for the year.
Line Coach “Botchey” Koch was un
stinting in his praise of Koko’s
work, but his most important con
tribution to the victory, he pointed
out, was the squatty youngster’s in
fectuous spirit which kept his team
mates in high gear throughout the
afternoon.
Floyd McGlinn, a reserve guard,
also gave a good account of himself,
playing the entire second half, and
with Burnell Martinson continuing
to improve aeiensiveiy tne squad
may end the season fairly strong at
this position. It will be recalled that
George Washington was in dire need,
of guards at the outset of the season,
a condition aggravated by Kokoski's
temporary absence. McGlinn, a full
back, was pressed into the line to
bolster the position, but has been too
uncertain, defensively, to trust in
tight games. This trio, plus the de
pendable Stan Ziobro. should fill the
position admirably in the two re
maining contests.
Wilamoski to Be X-Rayed.
Eddie Wilamoski, whose injury
gave Grady his chance, was to be
x-rayed today to determine the con
dition of his ribs, one of which may
be broken. If he is able to continue
and finish out the schedule George
Washington will be doubly danger
ous, for he and Grady are the two
fastest men on the squad and enable
it to run both inside and outside.
"Sonny” Jones, the sweater-knit
ting tackle who played a bang-up
game and stopped more than one
Kansas thrust, is sporting a few
souvenir bruises but will be able
Saturday when Bucknell invades
Griffith Stadium.
Kansas, incidentally, showed a
passer in Ralph Miller whom Rein
hart called better than Banks Mc
Fadden of Clemson. Miller could
part your hair with his long, hard
pegs at 50 yards, and his record of
11 completions in 16 attempts is elo
quent testimony to his ability to call
his shots. He also was a better
than-average runner until injured
last year, and caught the Colonials
completely off-guard by running for
the touchdown when they were fad
ing back to protect against a pass
in the final period.

Baseball Ever First
With Griffith, 70
Years Old Today
Nats' Prexy, Born in Log
Cabin, Learns Early
Of Game's Tricks
Clark Griffith—one of the grand
old men of baseball—got a laugh
on his 70th anniversary today out
of this question:
If you had the 70 years to live
over again, what would you be?
“Baseball." he said, “would do.”
There’s scarcely a man in any
branch of American sports whose
llfa hop hoor\ tviovn J __ •_
--— *- * - V 'liuppvu up 111
his game than that of the bushy
browed, white-haired president of
! the Washington club. Until 1907,
Griffith was one of the best hurlers
in baseball.
Knows Tricks of Baseball.
Born at Clear Creek. Mo., in 1869.
Griffith is another man who started
life in a long cabin with poor
parents.
In his early teens. Griffith and
i some other boys pooled their pennies
one spring to buy a dollar ball. The
boy who went on horseback to make
the purchase handed over the ball
and galloped away. The first time
one of the lads hit the ball, it broke
wide open. The horseback rider had
bought a 25-cent ball and pocketed
the change.
Ever since then, Clark Griffith has
realized that there are lots of tricks
to baseball, and that they are not
all on the diamond.*
The game calls him “the Old Fox.”
Stands by Old Friends.
His ball park holds many workers
who are old friends and former
players, and Griffith is known as one
of the easiest targets in town for a
touch.
At 70 he is feeling fine. His golf
is in the 80s.
“Pretty soon.” he said, “my score’s
going to be lower than my age.”

Associated Press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Any col
lege football team that can get this
far in the season and still hang
onto its ideas about winning a
championship, or taking a nice trip
to some bowl for the .year end holi
days. generally is very stubborn
about giving up such thoughts.
Oklahoma’s Sooners, intent upon
showing Missouri’s Paul Christman
he couldn’t pass sitting down, for
got Ronnie King could stand up
and kick. As a result, they suffered
their first defeat, 7-6, at Missouri’s
hands Saturday and a similar loss
in national prestige. King’s kicking
put them in the hole; a blocked kick
produced the Tiger touchdown.
A blocked kick, plus a hard
charging line and a superb pass de
fense. enabled finrp-hpatpn
eliminate North Carolina from the
unbeaten ranks, 13-3. and take the
lead in the Southern Conference
race.
Situation Little Changed.
Otherwise, the national gridiron
situation remains much the same
as a week ago and shows signs of
working toward a final decision only
in a few scattered sections this week.
Cornell, Tennessee and Texas A.
and M held their places last week
as national leaders among a dozen
surviving unbeaten and untied
teams, with Duquesne and Colorado
Mines in second rank. The con
tenders for the Pacific Coast Con- !
ference title and a New Year Day
job in the Rose Bowl—Southern
California and U. C. L. A.—are un
beaten but tied, along with Tulane
Georgetown, Rutgers and Richmond
More than a dozen big names in
football, including Missouri, Ohio
State. Duke and Notre Dame, are
on the list of once-beaten teams
that can hold up their heads in any
company.
The first of this year’s two
Thanksgiving Days, November 23,'
doesn’t cut much ice in this week's
doings, but the Big Ten and Big Six
titles come up for final settlement
Saturday.
Cornell Is Class of East.
Surveying the situation by sec
tions for the coming week:
East—Cornell's 35-6 rout of a good
Dartmouth team convinced the few
remaining doubters the Big Red
team is the East’s class.
Duquesne, idle last Saturn a v fame
Carnegie Tech, which took a 21-0
drubbing from Holy Cross. George
town, once tied, wound up its second
straight unbeaten season with a
14-0 win over New York University
and has some sort of a title claim,
Boston College, 19-0 winner over
Boston U. and rival of Holy Cross
for the “poison ivy’ group’s top
ranking, takes on Kansas State in
preparation for its December 2 tussle
with the Crusaders.
Princeton’s Tigers took the “Big
Three'’ crown by beating Yale, 13-7,
and encounter Navy next. Yale and
Harvard clash in their traditionally
“big game, in which all past records
are forgotten.
Duke Likely to Keep Lead.
South: Duke figures to retain its
Southern Conference lead as it
tapers off after the North Carolina
game by playing North Carolina
State, which beat out Furman, 12-7.
Richmond, unbeaten in the con
ference and in line for a share of
the title, plays Thursday against
William and Mary, which downed
wasmngton and Lee, 18-14, Tor Its
first circuit victory.
Tennessee, despite its national
prominence and 13-0 win over the
determined Vanderbilt team, shares
the Southeastern Conference lead
with Georgia Tech, 6-0 winner over
Alabama. The Vols don’t play again
until they meet Kentucky the second
Thanksgiving, November 30.
Buckeyes Cinch Part of Title.
Midwest: Ohio State can’t get
worse than a tie for the Big Ten
title as a result of Saturday’s 21-0
victory over Illinois. And even if
the Buckeyes blow their climax
game with Michigan, they won't be
tied until Iowa gets past the North
western barrier.
The situation is much the same
in the Big Six, where Missouri has
to get past only the weak Kansas
team to claim the titleT
Notre Dame, the mighty “inde
pendent,” faces Southern California
in a game that comes close to being
the week's standout.
Southwest: The all-conquering
Texas Aggies are idle until they
meet Texas November 30. Baylor’s
Bears will make another bid to stay
in the running for the Southwest
Conference title when they meet
Southern Methodist.
Vclans Still in Title Running.
Pacific Coast: Although held to
a scoreless tie by Santa Clara, a
tough opponent for anybody, U. C.
L. A. still is in position to beat
out Southern California for the
Pacific Coast Conference champion
ship. The Uclans have a hard game
coming up against Oregon State,
which has lost only to U. S. C. and
handed California a 21-0 lacing Sat
urday. The classic Stanford-Cali
fofnia tussle has the status of a
cellar-championship affair, as the
Indians lost, 7-0, to Washington
State.
Rocky Mountain Big Seven:
Colorado's 12-6 triumph over Brig
ham Young gave the Buffs a clear
lead in the Big Seven, with Denver,
and Utah tied for second.
