3. 0001 Six THE PALM BEACH POST Monday Morning, October 23, 1939 SPORTS TRAIL By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Oct. seems to be a slight overemphasis on character building at the University of Chicago, and a few more lickings such as that 85-to-0 affair at the hands of Michigan Saturday might call for an investigation into the grave charges that the school is proselyting students instead of football players. Stout Spike The Maroons of late have been pushed around like Thanksgiving Day, and Saturday's debacle is a stout spike in the argument of some fans that Chicago should move out and make room in the Big Ten for some school which has the idea that character can be built quite as well by winning games as losing them. The sound argument against this is that athletic conference takes in all sports, and Chicago does pretty well by itself in other branches, although it is that football carries the freight, and poor thate football teams mean poor crowds and poor crowds mean poor treasuries.

If Chicago did withdraw it would be like pulling your finger out of a bucket of water. The hole would fill up that quickly. It is known that Pittsburgh is fairly itching to join up, and has given its athletic policies so many coats of whitewash the black bottom has been completely obliterated. The Panthers send reports of their athletic housekeeping to John L. Griffith, Big Ten commissioner, to show they have nothing up their sleeve.

It has been hinted that Notre Dame would not frown on an invitation, although it is true the Irish do all right as a lone wolf, and might prefer to continue their free-wheeling schedule. Pretty Well Content When Nebraska was potting the Big Six title almost annually the Huskers often were mentioned as a Big Ten prospect, but with the rise of Oklahoma the Nebraskans no longer would have the excuse that the competition within their own circuit was inadequate. Besides, Nebraska is pretty well content in its own snug, friendly little loop. Conference shakeups are not uncommon. In fact, nearly all circuits have at one time or another undergone alterations, although it is admitted it would take some quick-sprouting ivy to qualify a team to join the Ivy League.

A couple of years ago Grinnell withdrew from the Missouri Valley because it couldn't cope its bigger brothers on the Conference, The Missouri Valley Conference, incidentally, has more alumni schools than the schools have alumni. The Big Six itself is an offshoot of that much-scissored circuit. The unwieldy Rocky Mountain Conference was split into two divisions, and the same thing happened to the old Southwestern Conference, which had so many members they had to wear identification badges. Whether Chicago eventually decides to submit its resignation is and even if it did there is some doubt that it would problematical, be accepted, as there still are a few officials who have the quaint idea that the classroom is more important than the football field and that because a school plays its football by easy stages does not sarily mean the institution doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Judged by Team In fact, perhaps the nation's institutions of higher learning owe Chicago a low bow for putting football in its place, although the football fanatics would bow only with shame.

They judge a school by its passing percentage on the field, not in the classroom. Four Teams Stay In Big Ten Running For State Laurels JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 22. (AP)Four teams stayed in the running over the weekend for the Florida Big Ten High School Conference football title but most observers believed the title will be won either by Robert E. Lee of Jackson- ville or St.

Petersburg. Also Threaten In threatening position were Clearwater, with two victories, and Julia Landon of Jacksonville, which became a contender by win" ring its first loop tussle. Notching its fifth consecutive Big Ten victory, St. Petersburg was extended by Lakeland and had to hustle to pull out, 18 to 14. Lee, defending titlist, walloped Hillsborough of Tampa, 40 to 0.

in a display of power. The strong Clearwater eleven bowled over Plant City to the tune of 38 to 0 and began to rate serious consideration. Landon came through with a mild surprise in stopping a hometown rival, Andrew Jackson, 13 to 6. The Lions still have to play both Lee and St. Petersburg, however, and consequently have a rocky road to travel.

In the only other conference game played, Orlando took to the air to whip Gainesville, 20 to 0. Rain forced postponement of the Miami Edison-Palm Beach setto, while Plant of Tampa had an open cate. Severe Test St. Petersburg will get a severe test this week, seeking to withstand an invasion by Edison. Plant City and Lakeland will play in a game which will have no bearing on the title.

Orlando is to go to Tampa for an engagement with Plant in the only other conference tilt.

Campolo, Argentine heavyweight, was taken to the hospital suffering from a severe brain concussion Saturday night after being knocked out in a collision with Alberto Lovell, South American champion, in the ninth round of their fight here. Campolo was struck by Lovell's head and dropped to the canvas, bleeding profusely. He was reported in a serious condition, but was expected to recover.

The bout was declared no contest. Bolivia has decreed that when an employe is dismissed he is entitled to compensation equal to one year's salary for each year of continuous employment. John Ruskin BEST AND BIGGEST CIGAR 8 NOW 2 for VOLS RISE TO GRAB NATIONAL GRID SPOTLIGHT Punchless Pirates Toss Scare Into Ranks Of The Redskins RAMS DROP CARDS AS BEARS TASTE POWER OF GIANTS Brooklyn Dodgers Paste 23 To 14 Defeat On Eagers; Packers Win PITTSBURGH, Oct. The once punchless Pirates of the National Professional Football League threw a scare into the pennant-seeking Washington Redskins today before giving up their sixth straight decision 21-14 before a slim crowd of 8,602. In an exciting Pirates, Exciting Finishe who had penetrated to the Washington 26 in a fourth period rally, sent Coley McDonough back to hurl a desperate, last-down aerial on the final play.

Right End George Platukis raced across the end zone to try for the catch that might have meant a tie, but the ball collided with a goal post and fell dead on the field as the final pistol sounded. a week ago the Redskins triumphed easily over the Pirates, 44-14, and it looked like another rout today when two forward passes clicked for touchdowns in the first period. Frank Filchok threw one to Wayne Millner and the second to Andy Farkas, but it was a 25-yard jaunt through center in the third period by reserve back Don Irwin that won the game. Farkas converted from placement after the first touchdown while Russell added the other two extra points, also from placement. The Pirates went into the air for both their scores, with McDonough heaving to Sam Boyd in the second period and to Boyd Brumbaugh in the last quarter.

Armand Niccolai booted both goals from placement. Washington's most consistent offensive was in the third when they marched 82 yards on an assortment of running and passing plays that included Irwin's gallop over the goal line. One Punt Sammy Baugh, who has missed two Washington games because of injuries, came in for one play in the late minutes. He punted out of bounds on a fourth down and immediately returned to the bench. CHICAGO CARDINALS DROP SIXTH GAME CHICAGO, Oct.

22. (P) -The powerless Chicago Cardinals dropped their sixth National Pro League football game today to a hard- Cleveland running, eleven, 24 smooth to 0, passing before 10,000 spectators. The Cleveland victory dropped the Cards deeper into the league's Western Division cellar and gave the Rams a record of two wins in six games. Chicago never seriously threatened the Ram goal, registering only four first downs, one of those on a penalty and gained only 68 yards on the ground and in the air. Parker Hall, the Rams' ace passer, maintained his high average by completing nine of 17 passes although he connected for only one of his first six tosses, FAMED BEAR OFFENSE NOT ENOUGH FOR GIANTS touchdown play.

Luckman Passes NEW YORK, Oct. 22. (P)- -The famed offensive of the Chicago Bears turned out to be just a merry-go-round for three periods today, giving the New York Giants time enough to whip the big boys from the West 16 to 13 in a wild National Professional Football League tilt. Before a packed house of 58,963 second largest crowd ever to see a National League game--the Bear attack got nowhere until the fourth quarter. Meantime, the Giants capitalized on all but two of their scoring chances and rode to victory on the talented toe of Ward Cuff, who booted three field goals, and a savage second period After missing six scoring opportunities inside the Giants' 27-yard line once being held for downs on the one-foot.

marker Bears finally began moving in the fading minutes of the game to toss passes. As a result of the loss--coupled with Green Bay's victory over De-1 troit the Bears dropped to third place in the Western Division of the loop's standings. The Giants remained deadlocked with Washington for the top spot in the East. KERCHEVAL PASSES DODGER MACHINE BROOKLYN, Oct. 22.

Transformed into a potent machine by Ralph Kercheval's great goal kicking, the Brooklyn Dodgers plastered a 23 to 14 defeat on the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Pro Football League today. Kercheval, a veteran of five years of money playing since starring for the University of Kentucky, booted three field goals in five placement attempts from distances of 45, 44, and 38 yards out and also kicked one point after touchdown. While the big Kentuckian's kicking was the delight of the crowd of 21,000 (including 8,000 orphaned children who were guests of the Dodgers), the bigger, better drilled Brooklyn team simply (Continued on Next Page), LOSERS TAKE SOME OF BOWS STEGEMAN OF GEORGIA DIES AFTER ILLNESS ATHENS, Oct. 22. -(P)- Herman J.

Stegeman, 48, nected with the University of Georgia for the past 20 years as coach, athletic director and dean of men, died at his home here today after an illness of more than a year. He was first stricken with a heart while watching the Georgia Tech-Florida game in Atattack. lanta last year, and never fully regained his health. Coming to Georgia in 1919 after a brilliant athletic and scholastic career at the University of Chicago, he served as football, basketball, track and baseball coach and as director of athletics, dean of men, and director of physical education. He coached the football team for three years before turning over his duties to George "Kid" Woodruff in 1922.

He continued to coach basketball track, however, until 1931, he retired as basketball coach." His last Georgia track team, in 1937, won the Southeastern Conference championship and brought forth one of the University's greatest athletes, Forrest "Spec" Towns, who later became Olympic high hurdles champion. In 1929 Stegeman was made director of athletics for the university. He was one of the greatest tackles ever to play for the University of Chicago Maroons, and was standout basketball player and a star half-miler in track as a member of a Chicago relay team that set Big Ten records. His widow, the former Miss Dorothea Washborne of Chicago, three children, John, Joanna and Marion, all students at the University of Georgia survive. BRONCOS UPSET GAELS WITH THREE PASSES SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.

22. (AP) -Three swift passes, woven into slashing ground attack, brought Santa Clara's Broncos a 7 to 0 victory over St. Mary's Gaels today to add one more upset to a Far Western season already crammed with reversals of the gridiron dope. The lightning aerial attack, put together early in the third period, topped off an 80-yard drive to scoring turf. Flips Toss With six yards to go, Left Halfback Jimmy Johnson flipped a toss over the heads of St.

Mary's players making a desperate goal line stand, into the arms of Left End Lacey. Johnson completed the rally with a true placement through the uprights for the extra tally. Some 50,000 fans saw the Broncos upset the applecart with a precision attack that had the Gaels floundering all over the field. Only three times was St. Mary's able to cross the midfield stripe.

The nearest it reached Santa Clara's goal was in the opening quarter-to the 26-yard line. In contrast, Santa Clara ran most of its plays in St. Mary's territory, Outstanding in the Browns' line were Rupert Thorton, a substitute guard, John Schiechl, center, and Lacey, the crashing end. Johnson was the backfield star of the day. Santa Clara made 10 first downs to St.

Mary's two and had an equally big advantage in yards gained from scrimmage and passing. Last year, when Santa Clara was the favorite, St. Mary's won by same score which decided today's encounter. PRO FOOTBALL AMERICAN PRO Calumet. Indians (E.

Joseph's St. Bonaventure 8: ROLLINS AND TAMPA GRAB GRID HONORS JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 22, (P)- The winners had to let the losers take some of the bows in Florida's collegiate football show this weekend. Warrant Applause the sparkling performances of Games dine true to form, but Tampa and Rollins in defeat warranted applause. came from behind in the only interstate game to tie Presbyterian College of South Carolina, 12 to 12.

The championship will be decided Nov. 18 in a game between Florida and Miami, both with clear State records. In knocking Rollins out of the unbeaten class, Miami's defending champions added nothing to their prestige. Playing without two of their ace backs, the Tars kept in the game all the way before losing 14 to 6. It was an able job by one of the best elevens Coach Jack McDowall ever has assembled at Winter Park.

Miami embarks now on the tough part of its schedule and there is nothing in the Hurricane's showing to which would incline Coach Harddalik ing to optimism. In a week's time, Coach Nash Higgins welded an air-tight defensive unit at Tampa. The Spartans yielded five touchdowns to Miami, Oct. 14, but made Florida push all over the field Saturday night before the Gators could pierce the line for the one scoring effort of the 7 to 0 game. Spartans Alert The fact that Florida was off form and decidedly sluggish takes nothing from the credit due Tampa, for the Spartans played more alert, sharper football and fought the whole distance for every inch.

Coach Josh Cody's pupils continued their able defensive play but they were due for a let down -and they had it. Stetson exhibited improvement in holding the favored Blue Hose and Coach Brady Cowell has brought the Hatters to the point where they will be hard to whip the rest of the season. Florida rates at least an equal chance to turn back Maryland in a game at College Park Saturdy. If the Gators can win, they will have equalled already their 1938 record of four victories. Starting their intersectional schedule, the Hurricanes, play Catholic University at Miami Friday night.

Miami will have to show improvement to stop the Washington eleven, Erskine, a South Carolina team having one of its better years, will invade DeLand for a game with Stetson. The weekend schedule will get an internatoinal flavor from the University of Havana-Rollins battle at Orlando Saturday night. Tampa is to go to Louisiana for a Saturday game with Louisiana Tech.

Alexander of Georgia Tech, long an exponent of spectacular football, suggests restoration of a rule making a punt a free ball as a means of putting added zip into the game. Under the rule which was in effect one year, either the offense or defense could run with the leather after recovering it. Alexander, a member of the National Rules Committee, doesn't think the rules makers would go for his suggestion, but he thinks it would make the play more thrilling for the spectator. The year the free-recovery punt was effect, says Coach Alex, "I'll we scored seven 'bet touchdowns that by recovering our own punts. Under the rule, with a team in punt formation the defense necessarily would have to open up, putting one or two men back in a position to handle a punt.

That, the Georgia Tech grid master asserts, would open up the defense for surprise passes or runs plus thrills on the punts themselves.

Vines Wins Pro Title From Perry BEVERLY HILLS, Oct. 22. (P)-Ellsworth Vines captured the National Professional Tennis Championship today by defeating the defending champion, Fred Perry of England, 8-6, 6-8, 6-1, 20--18. In the final set, one of the longest ever to be played in a championship tennis tournament, Vines had Perry at set-point times. Each time, the Englishman battled his way out of the Vines finally cracked his service with a smashing offensive and ran out the set.

The four sets lasted three and a half hours. Bruce Barnes of Austin, Texas, and Keith Gledhill of Los Angeles won the doubles championship by defeating Vines, who is from Pasadena, and Perry, 11-9. Vines and appeared tired from their gruelling singles match. The last two sets were played under lights, Several Big Upsets Are Dished Out For Football Fans FABLE OF RICE OWLS IS BADLY DAMAGED HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 22 (P)- The fable of the Rice Owls, which still managed to poke its head into football conversation despite a couple of early lickings, was irreparably damaged today by a gang of Teachers College upstarts.

Mauled Around The Sam Houston Teachers mauled Rice the same way their namestake handled Santa Anna. A 9-8 licking the Rice team had to take. -a Rice team that had Ernie Lain, Olie Cordill and the rest of the crew the coaches had picked to win the Southwest Conference title. The schedule makers at Rice put the Sam Houston "breather" in an ideal spot -between the Louisiana State University clash last week and the opening conference game next week against Texas. Rice, indeed, had every reason to expect soft going.

Sam Houston had played four games, winning from Little Trinity University (Texas)( and Lamar Junior College, tying the Hattiesburg (Miss.) Teachers, and losing to another small school, the Texas College of Arts and Industries. Rice took things easy early in the game, Don Suman ran 40 yards for a touchdown and what looked like a safe 6-0 lead. In the fourth period, however, the Teachers chased the heavier Owls all over the place, scoring is a touchdown, a field goal, and giving Rice an intentional safety in order to preserve a point margin. Toppled Again And SO proud Rice toppled again. It had fallen to a Vanderbilt team which nosed it out in the last.

seven seconds of play, and it had lost to LSU by a touchdown after Ernie Lain fumbled the ball as he was going across for a score. That wasn't so bad, and after all, the conference season hadn't started. But today Rice's chances weren't worth a nickel. Coach Puny Wilson said he told his Sam Houston team before the game that while there was life there was hope. Co-Capt.

Sonny Lindley, a burly center, was a little stronger with his language. "I told the boys that Rice's players just put on their britches one at a time- -and we intended to take them off." Bob Barfield, a back who did his share for Sam Houston, said the Owls were "the nicest bunch of boys I ever played against." Coach Agrees Coach Jimmy Kitts of Rice agreed. "They certainly played like gentlemen, all right," he groaned, Grid Gun Victim Dies From Wound JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 22.

Tennessee's well-equipped Volunteers had moved into the place held open for them in college football's "upper crust" today after a week end in which Pittsburgh, the Army and the Navy, Carnegie Tech, Oregon, Baylor, Harvard and Kansas State were thrown for their first losses of the season. Almost Follow Chart With the exception of Pitt's 21- 13 humbling by a wide-awake young Duquesne team, Gonzaga's 12-7 upset of Oregon and New York smartly-won 6-0 decision over Carnegie Tech, rated best in the East last year, and Sam Houston Teachers' 9-8 defeat of Rice, the season's fourth major Saturday saw results follow the form chart as closely as a bloodhound on a fresh scent. Prime form-upholders were the Volunteers. Handing Alabama its first defeat of the year, by 21-0, and thus notching their own 17th straight victory, Major Bob Neyland's charges cleared the highest hurdle on the path to their second consecutive perfect season. Only Louisiana State, on Nov.

4, looms as a potential threat to Tennessee's hopes for another bowl bid. The Vols won the game largely on the play of their line, which throttled 'Bama completely. With George Cafego chiefly directing his team's attack, Tennessee broke loose Sophomore Johnny Butler for a 56-yard scoring sprint in the second quarter, and then converted two late-game breaks, an bama fumble and a pass interception, into its other scores.
