This so-called football game was never really scheduled so we're not really calling it off. "Of course the matter goes deeper than just having a football game played on Sunday.

It is not dignified, from the university standpoint, to allow its women students to engage in such activities, particularly since football is not on the physical education department's approved list of events for women." Spectators who watched the gremlins at practice for the past two weeks said Ihey went in for DENVER, Oct. 23. UP) The gremlins won't be playing at the Denver University stadium Sunday. They were a nice looking team, too, the gremlins. For days the campus grapevine circulated rumors of a game to be played Sunday between the DU girls and a picked squad of girls from East high school.

Yesterday the Clarion, student newspaper, published front page pictures and an account of the game arrangements. Promptly Gladys C. Bell, dean of women, called the gremlins to her office. What was said was not disclosed. The girls had no com Nevada's champion and runner-up amateur golfers will pair with two of the best Reno women links advocates tomorrow in a benefit event for the new Red Cross canteen to be placed at the local depot for service men traveling through on trains.

The match was arranged by Hutt Mar-tin, manager and pro at the Washoe county course. A large gallery is expected to follow the foursome on the eighteen-hole route and a collection for the canteen will be taken.

It will be a "best ball" affair. Mrs. Whitehead is a top golfer fro mNew Jersey, and in the east she has played with such stars as Patty Berg.

The victory came when Walter Szot intercepted a Temple pass and ran it to the Owls' four, from which Gene Hubka advanced it two yards and Dick Hoffman the rest of the way. Gene Worst's placement netted the extra point. Temple scored midway in the second period when Corbin Thomas recovered a Bucknell fumble on the Bison four and ChafrSe Goetz lunged through for the touchdown on the first attempt.

1 man among the heavyweights still out of uniform. DOWN FOUR TIMES Savold spent only sixty-two sec onds in the arena ring with New Yorker Eddie Blunt, but in that short span he left both Blunt and the customers in a daze. The 220- pound Negro hit the canvas four times and took the full count on his last trip, making it difficult for everyone to understand how the 195-pound Savold lost to Blunt Akron. three weeks ago. Lee has a simple explanation: "I just wasn't in shape and it taught me a good lesson.

I have to have my speed. Unless I can move right and punch sharp I'm not at my best." Normally a counter puncher, puncher, Savold rushed from his corner last night and sent Blunt down for a two-count with a right. Another right dropped the Negro for no count, then came a left for a toll of nine, another left and Blunt didn't get up. MEMORY ERASED Uncle Mike Jacobs was just about ready to cancel Savold's November 5 Madison Square garden date with Tami Mauriello after the Akron loss, so Lee was anxious to erase the memory of that affair. Savold lost to Bivins in a dull fight at the garden last November.

"I guess the place has been fumigated by now," Lee quips. "We both had the same idea," he explains, "to let the other guy do the leading. After waiting for counter punches we both got so we couldn't do anything. That fight changed me. I'm through with waiting for counter punching and am ready for Bivins."

23. UP) Washington's slim Rose Bowl chances go on the block today against March Field's fourth air force in the Huskies' only scheduled football game of the season against a major opponent. Prospects of a wet field dimmed the Husky hopes against the heavier array of former college stars on the flyer squad from Riverside, because of the scarcity of straight-away punching power in the Washington backfield.

A large crowd of students, alumni, soldiers and townspeople Is expected to attend the Homecoming gridiron feature, which will be complete with band music and other traditional trimmings. TWO DEFEATS The Wings will face the Wolves with a record of two-losses and one tie in three games played while the local soldier-civilian squad boasts two victories since the soldiers and students consolidated recently.

But events of the past week have contrived to strengthen the Utah soldiers and weaken the Nevadans. While two new and valuable players have been added to the Wing's roster, injuries, sickness and other occurrences of the last few days have struck at the Wolves' set-up, with the result that a revised starting lineup of the team which defeated the University of Utah, 27-19, last week may tend to preclude another Nevada victory. WEIGHT DEFICIT Coach Jim Aiken of the Flying Wolves was none too optimistic today over his charges' chances against the improved Salt Lake army eleven. His men will be outnumbered in reserve strength, outweighed, and as a whole, the Utah players have more football experience, Of thirty-five men making the trip to Reno, at least a dozen have played football at big mid-western and eastern colleges and one was a professional with the New York Giants. Most damaging to the Wolves' strength are blows hitting first stringers both in the backfield and forward wall.

Redger Parker still is billed as the starting quar terback, as is Al Dockery at fullback, but Parker has just been released from the campus infirmary where he was confined with a severe cold. He may not feel strong enough to play many minutes. Dockery sustained a sprained leg in practice and may be unable to hold down his position, as he has done ably in five games this season. In the event Dockery is forced to remain on the sidelines, handy-man Bobby Bergen will open at fullback. Jerry Carter, reserve quarterback, is ill and will not be on hand to start for Parker, if necessary, and that spot may have to be filled from one of a few soldier or student backfield substitutes.

TO SAVE BERGEN Up until yesterday, Bergen, 165-pound versatile freshman grid der, was slated to start at left tackle, a position left vacant tern porarily by 220-pound Lieut. Jerry Spears from Ohio State, now home on a leave. But because of la ter developments, Bergen will be saved for the backfield and will not start unless Parker is unable. Starting at left tackle will be Clarence McDermott of the Reno air base, a former Omaha univer sity 'footballer. Lieut.

William Abdullah also is ill and his right guard spot will be filled by Bernie Shapiro. Jimmy Aiken, son of the coach and star ball packer in five games this season, is intact and will start as usual at the tailback post. Jimmy, a freshman, is down to 136 pounds now, but despite his slight build his ruggedness has been demonstrated in past performances. The Wolf linemen's blocking hasn't been up to par in practice this week, however, and young Aiken might encounter trouble in getting started. WALLER STARTS Bev Waller, another frosh, who weighs 155 pounds, has been given the nod by Aiken, to start as right halfback in place of Merlin Shea.

Following his seventy-eight-yard run to a touchdown last Saturday in the Utah university game, Waller, the Fallon flash, has worked hard in the daily drill sessions and has indicated he will inject a maximum of speed and drive into his performance tomorrow. According to the latest starting lineup figures, the Flying Wolves will be giving away about ten pounds to the player. The Wings average about 184 for the eleven men and the Wolves 174. The Salt Lake line will hit around 185 pounds while the Nevadans will average two pounds heavier, but the vis- Tech fo Play avy Tonight NEW YORK, Oct. 23 UP) Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech is the only mentor who fears Navy today but virtually every football coach in the country is afraid of the navy orders which various trainee-players will receive next week.

Hardly a team is expected to escape unscathed from the shuffle of grid talent which the navy department will make following the "graduation" of the sailor-athletes in their nautical studies. But Alexander will postpone his worries about the orders until later. Tonight his Georgia Tech outfit tangles with Navy's powerhouse outfit in the Baltimore stadium before 45,000 fans. The Dixie Engineers, humiliated by Notre Dame early in the season, 55 to 13, will be seeking an grade in gridiron-ology by turning in an upset. Chicago Bowlers Post High Scores CHICAGO, Oct.

23 UP) Chicago bowlers are getting "warm" in their effort to post the first 300 game of the season in league competition. Two keglers came exceedingly close this week. Jerry Skovie got eleven straight strikes but struck a snag on his twelfth ball leaving three pins standing. His league high game was short lived as Jack Scott followed his example in getting eleven perfect frames, but he left one pin stnding in the twelfth frame to miss a 300.
