Bob Montgomery Knocks Out Davey Day in 2 Minutes 59 Seconds a lO PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 11. 1941 Beotfs 1 Temp 7 1 XA f- Strictly Sparta Beware Yonder Bulldog! Yale's Moving Up Again Rebounding Elis Kindle Old Fires With New Coach Feeding Flame Bv CY PETERMAN NEW HAVEN, Oct. 10.

AUTUMN, admiring her own reflection in Long Island Sound again, has taken on new glamor up here among the Yales. The season has that unmatched taste of victory at football, which the current generation knows none too well. At Yale, you see, things have not gone so famously since Clint Frank got his degree, and lads like Larry Kelley left the halls. What was the sum achievement of Yale football since they went? About half a dozen victories, methinks not many more in the three lean seasons past. But now there is reason to suspect a change.

To vision a revival 'mid the Yales. The Bulldog 'rampant is here aain, or at least at a 45 degree angle. Too long he's been the Bulldog prostrate, a sleeping dog without a bite, while the old Yales gnashed their teeth. WE BEGAN to suspect an upward surge at Yale some weeks ago. Paul Barnett, its accomplished publicist, sent out a courtesy card, admitting visiting scribes to Eli practice.

Th is is not done when a college anticipates no winner; they usually prefer to suffer the growing pains in. private. Saturdays, of course, the world will note at least that portion which from habit still makes pilgrimage to New Haven, although in recent falls it had diminished and go away, aware of what is wrong. It has been this way since the dazzling era of Halfback Frank. Yale was in a losing slump, trying to explain football wasn't the main thing and defeat must be expected, too.

sometimes. But when this thing persisted the old Yales got mad and the younger ones downright disgusted. There was first a shakeup aloft, Ogden Miller assuming the athletic reins and conferring with Yale men throughout the country. Then, after last year's dismal showing, they suddenly -produced a broom and, still protesting cleavage to the Ivy and its standards, swept away the head coach and his No. 1 assistant.

With the departure of Ducky Pond and Greasy Neale, there was room for many changes. THE new head coach, Spike Nelson, graduate of Iowa and further taught the modern game while at Tulane, has the confidence of his squad through a closer, personal contact. Pond was more aloof, the veteran Neale likewise of the older school. Some will argue this method obtains results, that a certain gap must always be maintained between player and his coach. But men like Penn's George Munger disproved it.

The regime of Nelson comes close to paralleling the Red and Blue's. Anyway, here is Yale rebounding in old Eli's fashion, defeating for the season's opener a wiry foe like Virginia. And by what tremendous backspin! Down, 19-0 at the half-time, the Blue bolted back the last two quarters, scored three touchdowns and took the verdict. Such a feat gives any team impetus. Yale, primed to belt Penn behind the ears for last year's awful combing f0-7 set a new high for rival scoring, the worst licking in history for Yale has been putting on the pressure here all week.

Even the trusty floodlights, turned on when daylight faded, were pressed into service to polish plays. AT LEAST three forward passers, keener than last year, when they connected few times and then got only one long romp with a lateral away to score, have been filling October evenings with leather. Freddy Harrison, the baseball pitcher, who was so deadly against the Cavaliers last week, with Ed Taylor and Johnny Ferguson, have been hurling with Penn in mind, as Al Bar-tholemy, the Yale captain and right end, makes practice catches in the twilight. For the Yale alumni, slipping back to watch while Yale students once more fringe the field, hope has grown anew, sent them home rejoicing. The old spirit lives again, the team is not licked 'ere it starts, the feel of frustration and what's-the-use is no more present.

Back on the campus, among the familiar old -towers, down in the square and city streets, the same attitude prevails. "Yale's going to be better. We're on the upward trail." is the way they talk. To those who felt discouragement three autumns it is different in New Haven. NOT that Yale thinks it can cope with all rivals; there are too many hard tests on the schedule.

Why, this visiting Quaker crew, much as Yale would love to beat them, appear a big day's work when they collide in the storied Bowl. Yale isn't overoptimistic it's just feeling the urge again. And so they talk football again, up here in New Haven, as leaves rustle once more by the dorms, go scurrying down campus paves. Which alone should be worth serious attention. For what is football if Yale cannot play, or what is Yale without a fighting Yale team? The two are inseparables, each incomplete without the other.

And no de-emphasizer can persuade differently. i 4 v. -J'-'- .10 4 5 yt- jtiiiiwMiwiwwiii r1rntflm, mmmm 1.1 miiDi i iimi ii GEORGETOWN TACKLERS KEPT TEMPLE'S ANDY TOMASIC IN CHECK HERE, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT OFTEN ENOUGH Owls' leader, who scored two touchdowns, is beinff tackled after short gain by Al Blozis (32), the country's top shot-putter, with Ben Reiges (6) ready to lend assistance.

Robert Uhl, a pitcher owned by the Detroit Tigers, today sought to escape induction into the Army through a new appeal to the Federal Federal Judge A. F. St. Sure yesterday denied Uhl, 28, an injunction to void the draft board's order for him to report for induction. Uhl said attorney would file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to get him out today.

Last Saturday they opened their season against Centre on one of the hottest nights of the year; they practiced Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday beneath a tropical sun. The heat wave was broken in Philadelphia on Thursday morning and the 'Cats had workout under comfortable conditions before boarding a train en route for this spot where they tangle with the U. of Florida 'Gators tomorrow night under the lights.
