That stunned the Irish, and although they pulled out one more touchdown in the final period, they couldn't catch up. The undermanned Wolverines used only four substitutes.

Michigan, In ending Notre Dame's five-game winning streak, sent its array of crushing backs Into con stant action and they amassed 319 yards by rushing. Tom Kuzma, Bob Wlese, Paul White and Don Robinson gained almost at will as Michigan's rugged line broke down the opposition, and the Wolverine had occasion to punt only twice. In the third period the Wolwlnes struck three times with atunnlng regularity. They came up from the klckoff to parade (9 yards for a touchdown. Three minutes and 45 seconds later, after recovering Notre Dame's fumble on the klckoff they went 25 yards for the second touchdown.

RATCLIKF Port Worth. Texas, Kov. 14 (p). Little Beecher Montgomery Jumped Off the Texas Christian bench and led the Horned Frogs to a dramatic fourth-quarter 13-7 victory over Texas today to throw the Southwest conference football race in a three-way tie. He came in with seven minutes to go and Texas ahead 7-0 On hit first pity he ripped over right tackle and cut back to the left to race tS yards for a touchdown.

Next, after a fumble had given T.C.U. the ball deep In Texas territory, he pitched two passes for another touchdown. From the Texaa 17, where the Progs had been set on a clipping penalty, Montgomery passed to Alford for 11 then threw one over the goal line to Drummond Clover. A fumbled punt by Dean Bagley led to the Texas touchdown midway of the third period. Audrey 0111, the outstanding lineman for the Long-' horns, covered the bal Ion the T.C.U.

13. Jackie Field and Max Minor mashed to a first down on the one. Field then rapped left guard for the core. Field also converted. That looked like the ball game but they hadn't counted on Montgomery, the 168-pound reserve back.

His run for a touchdown was the most sensational play of this thrill-packed game witnessed by 18,000 fans en T.C.U. homecoming day. Texas was working against the wind and that wind had been playing havoc all day with punts. In reality It had led to the Texas touchdown because it had kept T.C.U. backed up In ite own territory the entire period.

A brisk punt exchange gave the Frogs the ball on the Texas 36. One play failed, then in came Montgomery. He smashed right tackle, came racing back to the left, then cut straight ahead without a hand being laid on him. Clifton Patton added the extra point to tie the core. Texas endangered the Frogs goal with only minutes to play when Interference on a pass helped send the Longhorna down to the T.C.U.

25. But the fighting Purple was not to be denied. The Frog line, led by Bruce Alford, who played on an In- Jured knee, rose up to knock the Longhorns dead in their tracks. Final ly Alford recovered Roy McKay's fum ble on the T.C.U. 33 to end the threat The game was over shortly after- ard.

Most everything happened In this game with many fumbles and short punts causing the tide surge rapidly back and forth. Penalties also were numerous and one time Texas had 40 yards to go for a first down and It was Just second down. Two holding penalties were responsible. The Frogs had driven once to the 10-yard line In the first half and that was the closest either team got to the other's goal line until the third period. Twice in that quarter Texas had the ball on the Frog 28 only to lose It on McKay's fumbles.

At the end, it was virtually a rlo. The Bears gave Tulsa's passing attack its severest test of the season bu the Hurricane collected 146 yards through the air to 52 for the Bears and also took the edge In rushing, 184 to 141. Penalties ruined scoring chances for both teams. Twice, clipping and holding penalties pushed the Hurricane back from the Baylor goal and a 42-yard touchdown pass from Baylor's Kit Klttrell to BUI Coleman in the second was nullified by an off side penalty.

Gridiron Offense Is Better Under War Conditions Teams Have Better Aver age in Yards Gained Than Last Year By ARNOLD DERLITZKI Chicago, Nov. 14 footbal not only is continuing its trend toward greater offense under wartime conditions, but It Is doing It with an even greater economy of effort. The cation gridiron teams were averaging 222.8 yards a game on the basis of figures released today by the American football statistical bureau. This compared with a 1941 final average of 221.8 yards per team per game. And where last year's collegians averaged a point for every 18 yards gained, they're getting that point this year by traveling only 15 yards.

As a result, 1942 teams are boasting of a 14.98 point a game average to the 13.75 of last year. The statistical bureau's reason for it was greater scoring finesse and even better coaching methods. The advance in total offense can be attributed to superior running attacks, for at forward passing the country'a footballers slipped from 1941 when they averaged 80.6 pards per game and also established a record for percentage of completions. The 1942 figures per game com pared with 1941: 1942 Rushing average (yds). 145 Passing av.

In accounting for this, the sta tistlcal bureau pointed out that competition is more even In the Midwest and consequently there have been fever one sided games where points build up faster than yardage because some scores come by other means than strictly offensive. The Midwest and Southeast almost monopolize honors when it comes to sectional supremacy.

It's back to scanning the "help wanted" column, "Old Gabby" is getting his share of hard knocks, but he appears too colorful and capable a figure to be passed up entirely by the majors.

McLeod and big Jack Fulkerson made excellent targets for his throws, and each made at least one difficult catch. L.

Point after touchdown, Chateau (from McClurkln.) By TOMMY DJEV1NE (United Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Nov. 14 (LP). "Old Gabby" is Job hunting again. For a fellow who had baseball employment for IB consecutive seasons with one club it's an odd experience, but tomato-faced Charles Leo Hart-nett is taking it in stride. "Gabby" was dismissed as manager of the Indianapolis Indians earlier this week the first minor league pilot to become a victim of the re' trenchment program that wartime emergencies are forcing upon clubs.

There was no fault found with Hartnett's work with Indianapolis, although the club finished sixth. The dismissal was strictly a matter of money. So when the major and minor league meetings get under way here next month you can bet "Gabby" will be among the prominent lobby-standers seeking to make a connection. While Hartnett has had a long and illustrious diamond career there's something a bit tragto about the spot he finds hlmseu In now. He's 42, too old for mucn active service yet baseball remains In his blood.

Managerial Jobs in the majors appear closed to him and the future of the minors Is too uncertain lor ft club to risk obligating itself for his sizeable salary. That leaves a big league coaching berth as about his only hope. Hartnett broke into professional baseball in 1921 with Worcester in the Eastern league. The following season he Joined the Chicago Cubs and remained In Bruin toggery until the 1941 campaign, As a player "Gabby" was the idol of the Chicago's north side fans as a manager he was the "goat" of an organization that then, and now, blunders more frequently than any other In the majors. While wearing Cub toggery, Hartnett caught 100 or more games for 12 consecutive seasons to establsh himself as one of the most durable receivers in the game's history.

He led the National league catchers In fielding for seven seasons and over one stretch accepted 452 consecutive chances without an error. Hartnett succeeded Cliarley Grimm as manager of the tubs midway through the 1938 season and proceeded to pace the club to the pennant. He was fired at the conclusion of the 1940 season after the Cubs had finished fifth. That the lowly finish was the fault of a crumbling, dispirited ball club and not Hartnett's own mistakes Is Indicated by the fact that his successor has been stuck with two sixth place outfits. Hartnett's greatest diamond triumph came in the waning years of his playing career.

In the last half of the 1938 campaign, "Gabby's own inspirational drive pulled the Cubs out of a tall-spin and put them in the thick of the pennant race against Pittsburgh. The Cubs were a flag threat, but so confident were Pirates officials that the Bucs would win the pennant that an extra press box to care for visiting writers at the series was built. Came late September and a crucial series betwen the Cubs and Pirates. In the gathering dusk of the deciding game, Hartnett blasted out a home run that sunk the Pirates for good and carried the Cubs into the scries. Hartnett had his share of grief as a manager in 1830 and 1040.

He took his dismissal philosophically and connected with the New York Giants as a coach. After a season with the Giants, the managerial chance at Indianapolis came. Now 13-0 at Alexandria over the Eagirs of Menard Memorial. ARCADIA WINS PLAYOFF Arcadia, Nov. 14 (Special).

Bv a margin of four first downs and three penetrations, after the score had ended In a 8-6 deadlock, Arcadia won from Lake Providence here Frldav night in the playoff for the North Louisiana Class prep school foot ball championship. About 500 persons saw the contest. Outweighed about 20 pounds per. player, Arcadia played an inspired game by coming back after the half to tie the visitors, The first quarter was nip and tuck with Lake Providence having the edge. During the second quarter Lake Providence received the ball on the 40-yard line and moved to the 55 on a series of line plays, From there tne husky Lake Providence fullback (ConUnutdOn Following Page) quick Loans ON Diamonds, Watches, Jewelry or anything of value.

The flyweight division, that was created to take care of that once great English boxer, Jimmy Wilde, has no recognized title holder. These things can go unnoticed, but when the ruler of the lightweight class, that once sported such celebrities as Gans, Erne, Nelson, Wolgast, Ritchie, Mandot, Cross, Tendler, Dundee, White, Rivers, and others of the same calibre, hangs up his gloves without notice then you know pugilism is in a bad way. At least the lightweight division, the finest division of them all, st one time, has really slumped..
