Maccabees Win on Westerman's Goal With 3 Minutes to Play Remaining SPORTS SPORTS PUBLIC CMSSJ LED PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1936 nn nn Musings GER mm JY IF YOU CANY BOOST 3T VILLANOVA NIPS TITANS; EAGLES LOSE Turning Point of Game No Chance to Steal WILDCATS TIP ANOTHER Saturday has been entered in 1936 gridiron history and it was a day in which form was served. Although there were comparatively few upsets along the football front, many of the winning favorites rolled up amazingly high totals against opponents who, at least, promised to give them a good workout. Ohio State was a heavy favorite ever N. Y. and (ew expected the New Yorkers to extend the Buckeyes.

But no such score as 60 to 0 was predicted by even the most daring of prophets. Unless the Violets have entirely wilted it becomes evident that the Pitt Panthers will have to step very livily next Saturday when they tangle with the Buckeyes. The loss of such a star as Berwanger would be a blow to any team, but without him Chicago seems to be in the football wildernesseither that or Vanderbilt is very strong indeed. It isn't easy to punch out 37 points against a major opponent. A year ago Franklin and Marshall gave Fordham plenty of trouble, and perhaps the Rams had that in mind when they plucked the Roses of Lancaster, 63 to 7.

And the Red Raiders of Colgate showed no mercy to Ursinus in bagging the Bears, 54 to 0. Any doubt about the class of Penn State was dispelled by the manner in which Bob Higgins' machine rolled over Muhlenberg, 45 to 0. Most forecasters looked for a fairly close game which seemed to be indicated by the Mules' win over Lafayette a week before. Next Saturday the Nittany Lion will be roaring at the Villanova Wildcat. Penn Erratic for 30 Minutes PITT did some heavy scoring in defeating West Virginia, 34 to 0, after being held scoreless in the, fhf quarter.

Incidentally, the Panthers, did all their scoring in the second and third periods. Harvard tallied 38 points against Amherst, Dartmouth vfpivl A'T TX. iV I I i. i In SERIES COMBAT. j.

Today, Red Rolfe, who had sin gled to centre, was on base when Gehrig gave the ball a ride Into the bleachers to score two runs. A run had been previously scored in this half when Gehrig did his homer stuff.

The half opened with Frank Crosetti drumming the ball to right for two bases. Red Rolfe's tidy single to centre counted the Italian shortstopper. Joe DiMaggio, who had his poorest batting day of the series, threw sand on the march by fouling to Mancuso. Then the stage was set for Gehrig's de luxe four-master that scores of bleacher customers sought to gain as a souvenir. These three runs oft Hubbell settled the ball game right there.

First Run a Gift In the previous inning the Yankees tabbed their first run and it was not kosher. With one down Powell was spared by Travis Jackson's fumble. An adroit stop by Whitehead erased Tony Lazzeri, but George Selkirk came along with a plump single to left that sent Powell coursing to the plate. The fifth and final run was assembled in Righthander Frank Gabler's one-inning term. He was on duty only in the eighth.

Gehrig, powerful at bat today, greeted him with a boisterous double to right that almost tore Bill Terry apart. Dickey's out advanced Lou and Jake Powell provided a humming single to left to score him. The game had been lost by the Giants, however, before Gabler entered the arena. Hubbell did not unwind the wily shots that made the Yankees tame last Wednesday. Hubbell Off Form His famed screwball did not spin as it did on the first day.

In the seven innings he pitehed he allowed four runs and eight hits. He walked one and fanned two. Last Wednesday he fanned eight and yielded only seven hits in nine innings. George Selkirk's homer with the bases empty gave the American Leaguers their only score that afternoon. It is easy to see that Hubbell was a different pitcher today com- Continued on Page 23, Column 1 IIS A piled up 56 markers at the expense of Vermont, Princeton collected 27 points from Williams, Yale downed Cornell, 23 to 0, and Penn pounded Lafayette into submission, 35 to 0.

There were many other swollen totals, and if all the point scored on college gridirons were added up, it is likely that Saturday, October 3, 1936, would be entered in football history as The Day of Many Tcuchdowns. Double figures predominated in almost every game. Penn's defeat of Lafayette was Impressive, but the Quakers were guilty of erratic football in the first half, during which thny a a UHIU IIIKIVI MIIUUII SATURDAY WILL GO DOWN IN FOOTBALL HISTORY AS THE DAY OF MANY TOUCHDOWNS; PENN IMPRESSIVE IN SECOND HALF, BUT MUST PLAY 60 MINUTES OF FOOTBALL TO BEAT YALE. let one punt slither out of his i i lorget aDout it Dy nis nne all- weary before the game even got under way. For 30 minu'es Harvey Barman's pupils simply could not get in motion.

i It was a different story in the second half during which the Quakers piled up four touchdowns. Thirty minutes of good football was sufficient to blot out Lafayette, but if Harinan hopes to get by Yale in New Haven next Saturday, he will have to get 60 minutes of gocd football out of his gridiron scholars. The place kicking of Murray, Kirkleski and Miller was noteworthy, all five of the extra points after touchdown being harvested. Every one of those five kicks sent the ball directly over the crossbar, midway between the uprights. With the memory of last year's 7 to 6 defeat at Princeton, this sort of booting brought a imile to the face of Harman.

Giants Holding Own Only in Spirit, Admits Manager of St. Louis Cards By FRANKIE FRISCH (Manager St. Louis Cardinals) NEW YORK, Oct. 4. As much as I hate to do it being a National Leaguer I must admit that the Yankees, up to date, proved themselves the better team in the scries.

They have done everything better than the Giants. At the plate they look sure of themselves, confident, convincing and powerful. They have the attitude of winners The Giants, on the other hand, arc hesitant, apparently fearful of taking a real cut at the ball which would make them look bad if they missed. Today's game was no exception. There was no doubt which was the better club.

Only in spirit are the Giants holding their own. Yet it is this very spirit, this courage, as typified by Bill Terry himseir, mat nas proo-ably cost the Giants the series. Terry is playing on a leg that would have most of us in bed. And you have to admire him for that. It shows he is a real leader, but it Dosslolv cost the Giants Fitzsim- mons' game yesterday and Hub-bell's today.

It was particularly noticeable in the fourth inning today, the one chance the Giants had to go places.

WALSH Villanova's football team acquired a new headpiece for Its reception room yesterday when It forced the University of Detroit under the guillotine in their feverish intcr-sec-tlonal clash at Shibe Park. The final result was 13 to 6. Before a Sunday-garbed throng of 18,000 football friends, Clipper Smith's Wildcats hung up a pair of touchdowns, converted one extra point, and thus left Gus Dorais' invading forces with a sad remembrance of their Eastern visit.

Detroit was unable to rlntr the scoring bell until the final quarter, wnen jimmy riper recovered a Villanova fumble on th latter's 16-yard stripe. Then, after three running plays, he pulled down Rogers Hayes' diagonal pass In the end zone for a touchdown. Ralmo and Fox Score Art Raimo and George Fox accounted for Villanova's touchdowns, while Quarterback Bill Christopher, after missing his first try, converted his second attempt for the extra point. One of the outstanding players on the field, Ralmo plunged through from the Titans' one-yard bar on the first play of the second quarter. The drive for this touchdown got under way toward the closing part of the opening heat, when Villa-nova took possession as Ray Stovlak intercepted a forward pass on the visitors' 45.

Ralmo and Christopher quickly picked up a first down, and after Andy Stopper completed two pretty passes to Ray Stoviak it was another first down for Villanova on the six. Here the Detroit forwards yielded only five yards as the wildcats' running attack thrice crashed into the line. So with one down to go and only one yard required for a touchdown, Villanova saw its work temporarily Interrupted as the quarter closed.

The punch was the turning one of the fourth game played in the Yank Stadium yesterday. Lower reveals the end of Jimmy Ripple when he tried to steal second in the second frame. Dickey to Crosetti did the trick. IF MAN power means anything, Penn should go places and do things this fall. Harman has a wealth of first class backs, many of them veterans.

The line is well-balanced, although, with the exception of Gisburne, the guards and tackles are somewhat short of experience. The first stAig backfield, which seems to be Murray, Kurlish, Elverson and Warwick, offers an ideal combination. The first two mentioned are big and powerful men weighing close to 200 pounds. They are built for battering line plays and capable of giving any set of forwards a strenuous afternocn. Elverson and Warwick are the elusive type of ball-carrier.

Equipped with plenty of speed and adroit footwork, these two are dangerous whenever they get the ball in their arms. In their own department they are just as effective as their heavier colleagues. Harman can make replacements without great loss of power or speed. Wexlcr is a stocky 200-pound back whose peciality is tearing forward walls apart, and Kirkleski, although somewhat lighter, is much the same type. On Saturday Hite and Miller distinguished themselves.

The latter, who weighs only 169, made one kickoff and then sped down the field to nail the receiver with a tackle that left nothing to the imagination. Everything that this Miller did against Lafayette was done with pleasing finality.

4. It wasn't an easy assignment to go into the Giants dressing room today after their defeat and attempt to start a conversation. It was like walking into a morgue and trying to coax a sp3ech out of one of the marble slabs. The Terrymen weren't exactly marble slabs, but they were apparently too sick at heart to say a word. Sure, they knew that It was all over, but why talk about it.

IN DEFEATING Mississippi on Friday night, 12 to 7, the Temple Owls not only won a football game, they also proved themselves to be last ditch fighters who rise to supreme heights when called upon to fight for what seems a lost cause.

Their chances of pulling that game out of the fire when they were trailing, 7 to 6, with only three minutes to play nd the ball deep in their own territory, were not worth a dime dozen. But, with a bewildering series of forwards, they put it over and became heroic football figures. Drexel dropped one of the few close ones of the day to St. John's, 7 to 0, but I understand that no one but Coach Halas was jrreatly surprised. The Drexel experts who scouted St John's "ame bck with warnings that the Dragons had a fight on their hands.

There were two minor surprises involving Keystone State teams. Lehigh, on form, seemed to have enough to take Dickinson, out the Carlisle warriors won handily, 20 to 6. Gettysburg was generally favored over Juniata, but the Battlefield outfit succumbed in a red-hot battle, 6 to 2. As usual there was plenty of spirited action on the West Coast. Southern California, back in the championship picture Sain, brushed aside Oregon, 26 to 0.

St. Mary's socked California 10 to 0 while Washington State just managed to nuse out Stanford by the margin of a goal after touchdown, 14 to 13. Cornell's young team took it on the chin from Yale, but it is rsonable to suppose that the Ithacans will improve as the season progresses, and they will probably be very formidable when they come to Franklin Field on Thanksgiving Day.
