Odson And Wilding Kam Praise Of Scribe, Who Recalls Criticism Heaped On 1935 All-America Selections Zuppke In For It, BY STEVE SNIDKIt Chicago, November 9 -(UP)-- Every season about this time talk swings to Big Ten participation In the Rose Bowl, firing of Bob Zun- pke and the great number nf AU-American tackles ranging through the Western Conference.

The first item is just about as dead as statistics on last year's Army-Navy football game. Money, money, money Is the one and only reason Big Ten bigwigs ever considered an alliance with the Pacific Coast Conference and when the J100.000 pot had to be split 10 ways an equal share for every confer ence school Including nonfootball-Ing Chicago tha plan was con signed to the dungeon with a Wis consin plan to subsidize athletes on a gentlemanly basis. As for Zup, he's in It for it again this fall. This is his win or else year and he hasn't done much but "else." "After 28 years of coaching al Illinois, they give me a year to make good," Zup said. "Well, they'll still have to throw me nut." That crack is becoming a bit tongue-worn downstate and they may take the old master up on It this fall.

Now about those tackles: Back In 1935, the moaning was loud and long when George Klrksey picked two Minnesota tackles on the United Press All-AmerlcHn first team. Those boys were Ed Wid eeth and Dick Smith. There weren't two better tackles in all the nation. It was the principle of the thing that shocked many selectors. It's Just as well we have a precedent for there are no better tackles In the nation six years later than the two men now operating In the Minnesota line of 1941.

File their names for future reference: Urban Odson and Dick Wildung. As a Junior last season, Odson was named on numerous All- Americans including the players' All- American. He weighs 247, operates at the right side of the line and has few equals In diagnosing plays. Despite a serious knee injury, Odson played against both Michigan and Continued On Next Page. ri.riri.nri nn n.r,ri.ri.n.rui rinri.n i.n.i i i.n i i.

Some Stories Obvious Attempti To Deflate Team, Says Martin Pitt Game Is Example. BY WHITNEY MARTIN. UPVrUI, IMHOATrll TO THIS KNqHRKa. New York, November 9 The headline tells the story, and the headlines Immediately preceding a foot- hall Saturday tell stories of hope, despair, fear, cockiness everything except how tomorrow's game is coming out. The experts take care of that, tucking it away in small type somewhere with tha hope it will be overlooked in case they are wrong.

Some of the stories are obvious attempts of coaches to deflate a team which has a tendency to look upon its coming game as a Maypole dance. Others are bait to lura fans who look upon a game as strictly no-contest into believing something astonishing Is about to happen, Still others are something of a typographical shot In the arm for a team which has had no luck and which might have reason to believe it could expect more of the same. Here are some story-telling headlines plucked at random: "Crowley warns Rams of Pitt" 'TIS OLD TECHNIQUE. This is the old "Stagg fears Pur-duo" technique. For thosa who don't keep up on such things it might be mentioned that Fordham unbeaten in five games and Pittsburgh hadn't won a game in aa many starts.

Obviously the Fordham players would tend to look. upon the game as a trip with an open date at the end of it, and Crowley's job is to convince his boys that anything can happen la football, and usually does. "Notre Dame looks skyward." This could have two interpretations. First, that the Irish wera going to fill the air with footballs, and second, that they wera somewhat concerned about tha weather. Tho latter was correct, as Frank Leahy was fearful that a rainy day would put a crimp in his team's potent passing attack and lessen its chances against a stout Navy eleven.

"Cadets shun top dog role." HIDING BLACKJACK. This is another version of the "Stagg fears Purdue" Idea. Army was to face Harvard, and on their record the Cadets naturally rated as favorites. Tha psychology here is to give Harvard the impression that Army considers itself the weaker team, and thus set tha Crimson up for a fall. The Cadeta are Just hiding a blackjack beneath a cloak of meekness.

Y. U. jaunty about Missouri." This is the old psychological buildup with the twin purpose of making Mizzou think it was up against a fearless, reckless eleven, and to make the Violets adopt a challenging, what-the-heck attitude. The Missouri powerhouse had lost only one game. N.

Y. U. had lost its past four. If a guy feels jaunty after being rolled out by a steamroller, maybe the Violet! I really were that way. ,5 "0 M- v.

i diet Miitrvn Is In Foes' Hair Throughout Setting Up Four Scores Crowd Of 14,000 Record For Stadium, Belief. BY BOB HOIINK. A hard-hitting, savage tackling Xavier team smashed and passed Its way to a 27-1) win over the atrong Dayton Flyers yesterday before a capacity crowd of nearly 14,000 at Xavier Stadium. The crowd believed to be the largest ever to watch a football game in Cincinnati saw Chet Mu-tryn, speedy Musketeer triple-threat back, In the driver's seat as the high-geared Xavier machine rolled over the Flyers. Mutryn had plenty of help.

His backficld mates blocked for keeps as they bowled over would-be tacklers and the men in the front trenches tore wido holes In the Opposing line. When Mutryn wasn't taking ad-Vantage of these circumstances to travel over the soggy turf, his back-field mates were driving through the same holes toward the Dayton goal. HALTED AT ALL TURNS. Defensively, the Musketeers had the answer to everything. Their lavage tackling stopped the Flyers at every turn, smeared the backs at or before they got to the line of scrimmage, ami turned the sup posedly famed Flyer aerial game Into one of their cwn weapons by intercepting three forwards.

Chuck Lavelle, who called the plays, made the most of Xavler's lightning like speed and over whelming power as he varied the Musketeer's attack to keep the Flyers puzzled throughout. When the Flyers were in tight he sailed over their heads or sent men sweeping around the flanks and when he had the Flyers loosened up he Bent hacks crashing through the middle. He ran quick starting plays from the T-formation when Dayton wag expecting a shift and he had his men ahift or double shift when Dayton was looking for quick plays from the T. NEVER MISS TRICK. Xavler's well-coached team re-aponded to his commands, never missing a trick.

The Musketeers made one mistake that of losing the ball near midfield on a fumble. This miscue delayed operations momentarily, it never stopped Xavier. But it was to see Mutryn that most of the capacity crowd braved the snow and cold. The crowd saw him at his best. He scored only once himself, but he was instrumental in setting up all four touchdowns.

He forced Dayton deep into the hole in the first quarter with a kick that rolled out of bounds on the Dayton 6-yard line to pave the way for the first marker. He tore off runs of 25 and 48 yards, re-apectively, with intercepted passes to set up the second and fourth touchdowns, and he returned a punt 25 yards to set up the third. There were no red lights for Mutryn. Dayton couldn't stop him, and they couldn't do much better with Bob "Moose" Himmler, his big running mate. JUST GOOD MAN.

Mutryn ran around, bounced off, or followed his blockers for sizable gains every time he toted the ball, and he threw It with the accuracy of Big Paul Derringer, the Reds' control pitcher. Himmler took the harder road. He simply bullied his way through the Flyers, bowling them over or carrying them along him. But his methods were just as effec tive. He scored twice, once on a 34-yard mash and again from 30 yards out.

Mutryn got his lone marker by spinning and twisting his way 8 yards, and Nell Gilmartln plunged home from two yards out for Xavier's final touchdown. Jack Donadio mada good with three of bis four tryi for the extra point As mentioned, the Xavier ball carriers had plenty of support The big Musketeer linemen, moving with surprising swiftness, got the jump on Dayton forwards early, and they never relinquished it Sometimes they mouse trapped the Flyers and sometimes they imply knocked them over, but no matter what means they took, they saw to it that they opened holes for their ball carriers of tore through to get at Dayton backs. Captain Bonny Washer was pecially troublesome to the Flyers He broke up play after play as he macked threw to spill ball carriers, Jim Arata playing one of his best games, and Elmo Ravensberg were qually effective. Bill Knisley, famed Dayton back truck fear in the hearts of the Xavier fans in the opening minutes of the game by returning one of Mutryn's punts 32 yards to give Dayton a first down on the Xavier 28. This came before the Musketeers had had a chance to show their uperlority and the fans began to fear for the worse.

Xavier wasted no tim in show-Continued On Next Pal. 0 Bob Himmler, Xavier back, is GOPHER TEAM Is Within One Game From Share Of Another Big Ten (irid Title. Win Over Iowa To Net Norsemen Sixth Crown In Eight Years Bucks Are Third. Chicago, November 9 (UP) Minnesota is just one game away from a share of its second straight Big Ten championship. By defeating Iowa at Iowa City this week, the mighty Gophers can take over for another year their sixth, in fact, in eight seasons and a victory over Wisconsin on the final Saturday of the season would bring an undisputed championship.

These simple statements are, however, complicated by a rebounding Iowa team that apparently has found its scoring punch after falling before three straight Big Ten foes. The Hawkeyes have scored five touchdowns in their last two games, just about the time their supporters had given up hope for any touchdowns at all. Despite a hard time of it with Nebraska, Minnesota will be in better physical condition this week and hopes to have Bruce Smith and Herman Frickey ready to roll against the stubborn Iowa line which figures to be as strong defensively as Michigan or North western.

Full Amends Are Made For Disappointing Season By Upsetting One Of Best Teams In Fordham's History Crowley Lauds Conquerors. Pittsburgh, November 9 (AP) Pitt football fans, who once took victory for granted but sank to the depths of despair this year over dc-cmphaslzcd squad that lost five straight games, elatedly toasted that same team today as the surprise conquerers of mighty Fordham, 13-0, The Panthers, hitherto wlnless this season, had made full amends by tumbling from the ranks of the unbeaten one of the best elevens In Fotdham history, thereby blasting the Hams' fond dreams of a post-season bowl bid. Coach Jim Crowley of Fordham credited yesterday's biggest grid upset to "Pitt's spirit and drive" but rather than an upset he called it "a ball game in which an underrated team found itself and played its real ball game." "Our boys played good football," he said, "but Pitt had the drive.

You could see it the way they blocked and tackled and ran, and guarded against pasps, They Just wouldn't let us get Into the game." Pitt pilot, Charley Bowser, said: "It was bound to happen. The boys had it in them all along. They had tough going, a few bad breaks. But it had to happen before the finish of the season." Edgar (special delivery) Jones, halfback from Scranton, and guard Ralph Fife of Canton, Ohio wera the two bulwarks of the hard' driving panthers. Jones' running and passing sparked their 70-yard touchdown driva in the first period, and, intercepting a Fordham pass, he ran 33 yards for the second score In the final quarter.

Time after time, Fife clogged the Barns' running attack, which netted only 119 yards to Pitt's 165. also kicked the extra point. Jones handled the ball 28 times for a total of 157 yards. The contest, concluding the seven-game rivalry with the Rams, left the series standing all even, with twovictorles apiece and three scoreless ties. PACKERS BEAT KENCfSHA.
