WV-An Inspired Holy Cross football team, shooting for national recognition and a. possible Sugar Bowl bid, arrived here by plane today ready to take on Tulane In Sugar Bowl Stadium Saturday.

Tulane, one of those tough-every-Satunlay teams, is rated a touchdown favorite over the Crusaders. But Holy Cross Is reported "up" for this one and also Inspired by whispers that the Sugar Bowl would welcome an Eastern team for January 1, 1952. Coach Dr. Eddie Anderson of Holy Cross pulled long face when he stepped off the plane. "It was a hard trip," he said, "one that kept the boys from a workout and good rest." The Crusaders had to take a train from Worcester, to New York where they made plane connections for New Orleans.

Goalie Francis Is Standout For Locals Crowd Of 1,777 Attends. BY WHITNEY TOWER. The rejuvenated Cincinnati Mohawks bowed to the parent New York Rangers of the NHL. 4-2, in the Garden last night. The contest, an exhibition affair, was played before 1,777 spectators.

While the Hawks finished on the short end they displayed a fine brand of hockey and made but few glaring errors. Considering it was their first public battle test as a unit following three weeks of training they acquitted themselves well indeed against their major league rivals. (Line-Upt on Next Page.) Big Game At Wisconsin May Draw 51,000 Fans-Record Turnout. MADISON, Oct. 12 (Pi Ohio State's Buckkeyes, the ranked team in the nation, battle once i beaten Wisconsin Saturday with Big Ten title talk in the air.

Top preseason championship choices, the Buckeyes make their initial Western Conference start after splitting a pair of noncon-ference games. Wisconsin, loser to Illinois last week, must go all out to stay in title contention. Other Big Ten games on the docket match Indiana and Michigan at Ann Arbor and Northwestern and Minnesota at Minneapolis. The Buckeyes bewildered their ardent fans by barely nipping Southern Methodist In the season opener and blowing a 10-polnt last quarter lead a week ago in losing to the nation's No. 1 team, Michigan State, 24-20.

A full throttle tilt Is expected before 51,000 fans, largest in Camp Randall Stadium history, as Wis-consin shoots the works in a desperate bid to remain in the running for the crown. A win would keep the Badgers in the race, since a seven-game Big Ten schedule could absorb the 14-10 loss to Illinois. Both the Buckeyes and Illini have only six games in the conference, including their November 17 meeting at Columbus. Wisconsin goes into its "croocJal" game with a makeshift backfield, due to the loss by injury of Roy (Colonel) Burks, the regular left halfback. He will be replaced by Rollie Stehlow, shifted from right half.

One of four rookies probably Sophomore Roger Dornburg, until now strictly a defense player will draw Strehlow's slot. Johnny Coatta, last fall the conference's top passer, and Fullback Jim Hammond will complete the starting quartet. Coach Woody Hayes, making his Big Ten debut, will field an all-veteran OSU backfield built around All-America Halfback Vic Jano-wlca and supported by Tony Cur cillo, Walt Klevay and Bob Koep-nick. The Buckeyes generally are rated from three to six point favorites. The Ohio State squad arrived today at nearby Janesville and will spend the night there, coming into Madison by bus tomorrow morning.

(EST). Kluska Is Guarding Against Overconfidence In Visit Of BY BILL FORD. Xavier University is expected" to get the bird today. And without catcalls, pu-lees! The Musketeers are prohibitive choices when they square off against the Youngstown College Penguins at 2:13 p.m. at Xavier Stadium.

ItTI he She first homa appear an re for the mbeatea, once-tied Musketeers aim they launched their season here last September By nightfall, the Mnskies should possess their fourth triumph. Since the Muskies opened with a triumph over Quantlco, they've had good and bad days on alternate week ends. So, today should be one of them horrible days. Coach Ed Kluska doesn't think so. "The team's spirit has been fine," he said last night.

"They remember what happened atCamp Lejeune where they were a bit on the cocky side only to awaka lrom the dream with a 7-7 tie." ENCOUNTER IS FIRST. Youngstown and the Muskies will be mixing for the first time. The Penguin offense also will ba new to the Muskies. Youngstown, with a 1-2 record, offends from the short punt formation. Kluska has made several changes In hia offensive and defensive platoons.

He's shifted Bob Finnell from offensive right half back to fullback. The switch should have no ill-effects on Reliable Robert who last week ran from both halfback slots and fullback with pleasing results: 187 net yards la 23 carries. Tom Mussio, a 174-pound senior, usually employed as a defensive halfback, will operate as offensivt right halfback. And with Sophomore Bob Judd at lefthalf, the Muskies will field their fleetest offensive bsckfield in yesrs. John Saban, who started Xavier's first four games as offense full-back, has been shifted to defensive linebacker.

Kluska indicated, how. ever, that Saban will see offensive DEFENSIVE STRENGTH. '-Thus, with Saban teaming with the redoubtable Tito Carinci na defensive linebackers, the Muskies have assumed greater defensive strength. The Muskies line, which has yilded only 348 rushing yards In four games, averages 217 pounds. Senior Ken Robinson, this year a defensive linebacker, will move back to his offensive center duties.

He'll alternate with Dick Fennell, a senior. The Penguins move Into town with a victory over John Carroll and loses to Camp Leieune and Dayton. They're sparked by Ralph Goldston, a 190-pound senior whom his coach Dike Beede, calls "tha best halfback the state." Because of injuries to other regulars, Goldston has been tha Penquin quarterback. Nevertheless, he has averaged 5.9 yards a carry. His playing status is questionable.

He injured a knee last week, affecting his maneuvera bility. It's high school day at the Stadium. The Musketeer band, directed by Gil Marringer, will maka its first home appearance. Tha band is celebrating its 25th anniversary and an appropriate program is planned. Probable offensive lineups: YOUNCSTrrWH.

The Referee by Bob Hutted Louisville Hoping To Pull Upset At --ense Of Gillmr oys. BY DICK FORBES. Cincinnati goes bird hunting tonight, and the birds are the Louisville Cardinals. And in case anyone's forgotten, the Bearcats used their entire load of buckshot last year before bringing down the Cards, 28-20, in a darned good football game. A crowd of more than 20,000 Is expected to sit In on tonight's Tat and Bird match at Nippert Stadium, with the kickoff slated for 8:30.

The unbeaten Bearcats will be gunning for their fifth straight victory. Actually, Louisville figures to be another UC victim, but there are reasons why the Cards might offer more opposition than even the most pessimistic UC fan anticipates. SET FOR BEARCATS. For one thing, as the Louisville Courier-Journal has pointed out many times, this is "the game" the Cardinals want to wiri: They are primed and pointing for it. Second, Coach Frank Camp's boys -don't figure to be as bad as the 39-7 licking they suffered from Boston U.

last week would indicate. The primary difference was in Harry Agganis, Boston quarterback, who passed Louisville dizzy. Agganis is an All-America candidate this year. Coach Sid Gillman reported late yesterday that his Bearcats are in good shape for the game, both mentally and physically. Only Safety Man Hank Garn is out with Injuries.

End Frank Dillhoff, a promising sophomore, Is ready for duty again after being sidelined with a bad wrist after the Kansas State encounter. Cincinnati will be using a new offensive halfback combination to start the game. Bullet Bob Strat-ton, who warmed the bench last week after suffering a hurt against Hawaii, will be on hand at his left halfback post. Jackie'Gordon, the boy who replaced Stratton at left half, has been moved to right half in a surprise switch. NOW STAND FIFTH.

Cincinnati will be out to gain still higher standing in national ratings. Powered by the lashing arm of Quarterback Gene Rossi, the Bearcats now stand fifth in total offense and eighth in passing offense. Furthermore, Rossi, Halfback Harry Andreadis and End Dick Jarvis all rate among the nation'! top 10 in individual total and passing offense, rushing and pass receiving, respectively. Louisville boys who hope to lead the Cardinals to one of the top upsets of the season are big Jim Williams, fullback, and Johnny Brewer, halfback. They are averaging four yards a try.

The Cards evidently don't have too much in the way of a passing threat, or at least they haven't shown it yet. Jim Olmstead, John Unitas and John Shelton have attempted only 25 passes in two games, -completing 10 for 143 yards. The Cards coasted to a 28-12 win over Wayne In their opener. All Cincinnati grid fans will be particularly interested in this game in that It will give a good Indication of the comparative strength of UC and Xavier. The Muskies 'go after Louisville next Saturday.

It's Dad's Day tonight, -with fathers of Bearcat players being allotted a special bench on the sidelines. The UC band will caray out halitime ceremonies in their honor. Probable starting line-ups: Cincinnati OHenw. Umhrtll. OffwiM.

12 (AP) The undefeated Georgia Tech Yel-lowjackets will use their stingers on the also unbeaten Louisiana State Tigers Saturday in one of the South's top football games. Upward of 35,000 are expected to be in the stands at Tech's Grant Field to see whether a Yellow-jacket can sting a Tiger into submission. The experts see it going to Georgia Tech by 13 points. At stake for the winner, in addition to continuance of a perfect record, will be at least a Southeastern Conference leadership tie for the time being. That in Itself has all the prog-nostlcators scratching their heads and wandering around with unbelieving expressions.

For prior to the season opening Southeastern coaches looked into the crystal balls and prophesied solemnly that LSU and Tech would end up In a fifth-place tie In the 12-club circuit. On successive Saturdays Tech has whipped Southern Methodist, Florida and Kentucky. Louisiana has disposed of Mississippi Southern, Alabama and Rice. LSU's NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (UP) Jow DiMaggio talked about retiring from baseball for about two hours today with his boss.

President Dan Topping of the Yankees, then decided to go home and think it over before reaching a final decision. "Everything still is up in the air," he said. "I'm leaving tonight for California and then we're going on to Japan on a barnstorming tour." Topping said he told DiMaggio to come back to New York alter he completes the tour for a final conference on the matter. DiMagio, despite a late spurt In the World Series which helped the Yankees to beat the Giants, had his poorest year since coming to the majors. As it was only an exhibition game neither team was "out for blood." The Rangers, -who have now won all seven of their exhibition tilts, had to try a little harder than they expected, especially when the Hawks took a brief 2-1 lead in the middle period.

When the New Yorkers did put on the heat, it was only natural that the Mohawks wilted slightly under the pressure enforced on them. But the new Cincinnati coach. Clint Smith, said after the game, "I'm well satisfied with the way we played. Three of the Ranger goals were caused by our defensive errors, but what can you expect considering this is the first game we've played as a unit." Ranger Coach Neil Colville said he thought Cincinnati put on a great show, and ranked them quite on par with both Cleveland and whom the New Yorkers have beaten twice so far, The two Mohawk goals were scored in the second period, one by Right Winger Ed Harrison, the other by Wirier Jean Denis. On each of the scoring plays the forwards clicked with a precision that does not always appear in a team's first game.

And at the other times the Hawks had some near misses that were equally as clever in execution as the plays that produced the goals. But the Cincinnati star was really Goalie Emilie Francis. With defensemen in front of him who weren't too confident of their assignments at times, the Cat often carried the burden alone. He made 49 saves, with 25 of them coming the second period, while Ranger Goalie Chuck Rayner made 23. The Rangers scored once In the first period, twice in the second, and once in the third.

Their goals were registered by Edgar Laprade, Reg Sinclair, Gaye Stewart and Ed Slowlnski. In a preliminary game the Avon-dale Rams defeated the Silverton Eagles 5-0 in a peewee game. The Mohawks open the regular American Hockey League season at the Garden Sunday night against the defending champion Cleveland Barons. Marquette Is Doormat For Spartans Today 13-7 defeat of Alabama two weeks ago was one of the major upsets across the nation. Both teams have sharp passing attacks and a bunch of backs who run like the proverbial frightened mares.

Darrell Crawford does the heaving for the Yellowjackets and Jim Barton is the No. 1 hurler for the Bayou Tigers. 'Cats, Muskies Doing All Right. COMING BACK FROM A VACATION it is good to find our town represented by two undefeated football squads Cincinnati and Xavier. Before the season opened we felt that if the Bearcats successfully hurdled their third game with Tulsa they would stand an cellent chance of coming up to last two contests on the schedule with a clean slate.

Today the Bearcats have bagged four straight and their prospects of staying that way until Xavier and Miami are met on the final two Saturdays In November must be considered bright. However, you can wager all the tea In Chins that Mid fiillman Is not taking lightly the intervening combats with Louisville, Western Reserve, Texas Western, Hardin-Simmons and Ohio University. THE COACH OF THE BEARCATS goes on the cor. rect assumption each succeeding game is a toughie. Sid Is well aware of the penalty for overconfidence on the part of a grid combination.

It is his aim to keep the Bearcats in the mood to go all out with every whistle. Having beaten Virginia Military, Kansas State, Tulsa and Hawaii the Bearcats will endeavor to make it five in a row today at the expense of Louisville in Nippert Stadium. Beaten, 39-6, last week by Boston University it isn't likely Louisville will be able to cope with the high-geared attack of the Bearcats sparked by Gene Rossi. WINNING TEAMS AT XAVIER are no novelty. One of the most unheralded pigskin mentors in the business is the likeable Ed Kluska, Musketeer coach.

In his quiet but highly efficient way he just goes on turning out first class football teams. In 1949 his Muskies bowed only to the University of Kentucky. Last year the lone setback suffered by Xavier came the hands of their fellow townsmen the Cincinnati Bearcats. Thus far this fall the nearest thing to a black mark on the Musketeers' record Is a 7-7 tie with Camp Lejeuene. In their other three efforts to date the Muskies have defeated the Quantlco Marines, St.

Bonsv yenture and Miami. IT WAS FIGURED MIAMI WOULD be quite a mouthful for Xavier, but to the surprise of most grid experts the Muskies scalped the Redskins last week by the comfortable margin of 32-14. It was Xavier's third consecutive' triumph over Miami. In 1950 the only game lost by the Redskins came when they fell before the Muskies, 7-0. Unless current signs fail Xavier should have added a couple of more victories before they tangle with Dayton, October 28.

The Flyers, who by the way have a corking good outfit, doubtless will reach the Xavier contest undefeated. In any case the clash between the Flyers and Muskies should provide one of the football classics of the season In this vicinity. Xavier plays Youngstown College today In Xavier quette is known to be determined EAST LANSING, Oct. 12 UP) Marquette was cast in the role, of the victim today as the Hilltoppers arrived here for urday's football game with Michigan State.

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 12 UP) Michigan's Wolverines, out to avoid a third straight defeat, clash with Indiana here Saturday before an expected crowd of about 65,000. And the experts figure that spirit will have to contribute something tojhe Michigan cause if the Hoosiers appear to have too many weapons in this Big Ten debut for both teams.

Clyde Smith's T-formation team banked on Clifton Anderson and Don Luft, talented Halfback Bob Robertson and the passing of southpaw Quarterback Lou D'A-chille to fashion their fifth win in the 18-game series that began back in 1900.

Flashier Offense Hope Of UK In Maroon Tilt OHIO STATE, EDGED 24-20 by a formidable Michigan State eleven a week ago, makes its first Western Conference start today. The Bucks meet a sturdy Wisconsin aggregation at Madison. Both will be on the rebound as Wisconsin lost a heartbreaker to Illinois last Saturday, 14-10. We saw Ohio State defeat Southern Methodist, 7-0, in what was the opener for the Bucks. That day the Scarlet's offensive line, green In spots, was off In its timing and blocking.

As a result the Ohio State attack suffered. We also sat la on the Michigan State melee. Against tho Spartans the offense of the Bucks was decidedly Improved. That Ohio State lost was not due to the absence of scoring punch, but the failure of the defense to protect a 10-point lead in the last quarter when Michigan State scored two touchdowns In the final 11 minutes. OHIO STATE SHOULD GROW BETTER as the season advances.

As yet the Bucks are making the most of the "T' installed by Woody Hayes, who succeeded Wes Fesler as head coach. Even so they constitute a very sturdy ball club capable of giving the best opposition a rough time of it as they proved against Michigan State. Whether or not the Buckr will be up to defeating a strong and seasoned Wisconsin team today is a matter for conjecture. Personally, we have a hunch Vic Janowics and Co. will come through, providing their defense doesn't go haywire down the homestretch, THERE IS A DECIDED TENDENCY these days to loosely describe an athlete as "great" in speaking of his respective capabilities whereas be may be Just good.

There are only a comparatively few truly greats in any line of major sports endeavor. I We also know there have been numerous Instances when certain college football players have been press- agented into All-America caliber. But one gridder who really merits all the good things said about him is Ohio State's ace back, Vic Janowicz. Vie is a rare grid speclman in this age of the two-platoon system In that he plays en both offense and defense, in addition to being a superb ball carrier, he is a splendid passer. Vio also is one of the best punters la the land as well as dependable field goal and point-after-touch-dowa converter.

morrow game. For one thing, Leahy doesn't know what his starting array of three sophomores and one freshman will do when the chips are down. Sixty per cent of Notre Dame's nearly 500 yards rushing in two games was amassed by sophs or frosh, headed by Fullback Neil Worden and Halfback Johnny Lattner. DALLAS, Oct. 12 UP) The storied Texas-Oklahoma football rivalry in which national champions and bowl teams are born goes on here Saturday for the 46th time.

Before a jammed Cotton Bowl, Oklahoma will fight to return to the high places. The game will be Its usual riot of color but this time Oklahoma is the nnderdog, something new for at least three years. Texas, ranked sixth nationally and with three major victories behind it, is a touchdown favorite. Oklahoma was national champion last year. A 14-13 victory over Texas in this deep Southwestern rivalry was a big stepping stone in the Sooner drive toward that pedestal.

But this time Okla- homa is just on the fringe of the top teams. Oklahoma last week lost its first game in regular season play in quite a span. It was Texas A. and another strong Texas rival. The score was 14-7 but many said it should have been larger.
