Wisconsin crossed the tate goal line in each period. Two South Dakota scoring threats halted within the Wisconsin five-yard line. A crowd of 20,000 watched Halfbacks Bill Schmitz, Anthony Gra-disnik and James Martin, all Sophomores, lend brilliant aid to the Wisconsin veterans.

Other leaders: Hank Greenberg, Detroit, Gerald Walker, Detroit, Zeke Bonura, Chicago, Roy St Louis, Johnny Stone, Washington, .336.

Three players, Stone, Dixie Walker, and Mike Kreevich of Chicago were tied at 15 each for the triple's lead.

Ben Chapman of Boston failed to steal a base during the week, but his total of 30 pilfered sacks still was tops. Detroit, with a collective mark of .294, again held the team hitting lead and also set the pace in defensive work, with a fielding av erage of .976. Washington was out in front in double plays, with a total of 167 for the season. Johnny Allen, one-time tempera mental mound star who apparently has settled down for Cleveland. topped all hurlers.

BLOOMINGTON, Sept. 25. hard driving, tricky Indiana University aggregation trounced a stubborn, but outclassed Centre College eleven, 12 to 0, before approximately 8,000 fans here this afternoon. Corby Davis, 200-pound fullback from Lowell, scored touchdowns for Indiana in the first and fourth periods after steady down-field marches. The Centre gridmen showed little offensive life until late in the final quarter when Jimmie German, 180-pound quarterback from Louisville, fired a series of successful passes that placed the ball in the shadow of Indiana's goal line.

But the Kentuckians lacked scoring punch. Centre's huskies excelled on defense, throwing back Indiana time and again. The Hoosiers were unable to penetrate the Kentuckians' line with any degree of regularity in the second and third quarters. Centre proved to be a far more stubborn machine than that which lost to Indiana, 38 to 0, last season. R.

C. Travis of Shelbyville, and Glenn Davis of Moline, 111., were standouts on offense. In the first quarter Corby Davis plunged off right tackle for the first touchdown after he and Quarterback Frank Filchock had reeled off a convincing series of first downs. In the final period Davis plowed around right end for another marker. George Miller, center, missed two place-kick attempts for points.

The Indiana eleven made 281 yards from scrimmage, compared with 124 for Centre. The Hoosiers completed eight of 13 forward passes and the Kentuckians, seven of 15. Indiana gained 136 yards on forward passes. Line-ups and summary: Centre Indiana Tenikat LE Kenderdine Searcy LT McDaniel Gruszkowski Sirtosky Bible Miller Durrett RG Olmstead Whitehouse RT Haak G.

25. (JP) Through the air and around the ends Purdue University romped to a 33 to 7 victory over Butler University here today in the opening football game of the season for both schools. Cecil Isbell, a young: fellow who wears a chain on his left arm to keep it from flying out of place, took personal charge of the Bulldogs after the stalwart Butler line had defied all efforts to penetrate it. Purdue, reluctant to open up with its aerial game in the first half, wound up two periods of play with only a 7 to 0 advantage. In the third quarter the Boilermakers shot the works and shoved across three touchdowns in a hurry.

Butler's lone touchdown, scored on the first play of the fourth period, came as a result of the same kind of expert passing that "Cec" Isbell had shown except that It was Andy Boa who was the sharpshooter. In six plays he put Butler on the Purdue three-yard line and a surprise pass tallied. Butler was in a hole throughout the first half, due largely to a bad kickoff, but it was midway in the second quarter before Cec Ts-bell began firing those deadly passes. Three passes and a couple of line plays did the scoring dam-ape. Isbell's end runs set the stage for the second touchdown but Anthony Juska carried it over.

Isbell again moved the ball into scoring position and Louis Brock of Stafford, lugged it over from the 32. Leon DeWitte of Mishawaka scored another from the 19-yard line on a sweep around end. Purdue's last counter came In the final period when August Morningstar of Massillon, Ohio, a reserve center, intercepted one of Boa's heaves and raced 35 yards for the touchdown.

California Shows Power in 30-7 Win Over St. Mary's BERKELEY, Sept. 25.

of California's Bears, displaying crushing power and remarkable early season blocking, opened their 1937 football campaign here today with a 30 to 7 victory over St. Mary's Gaels. An inaugural crowd of 60,000 fans sweltered under a broiling sun as the Bears, picked as one of the strongest challengers for the Pacific; Coast Conference championship, smashed the St. Mary's opposition into shreds. St.

Mary's saved itself from a complete rout by scoring in the third, quarter, the touchdown coming from a 63-yard thrust entirely on ground plays. Vanderbilt Triumphs Over Kentucky 12-0 NASHVILLE, Sept. 25. (-P) Vanderbilt's golden-shirted Commodores, striking with a hard running attack spearheaded by Sophomore Bert Marshall, opened the football season in the rain today with 12 to 0 Southeastern Conference victory over Kentucky's Wildcats. Approximately 5,000 shiver ing fans huddled beneath umbrellas as Kentucky's touchdown famine continued in the face of a flashy offensive and airtight defense displayed by Ray Morrison's Commodores, Mutt Schartz Simon Nebolsky, veteran middleweight from Cincinnati, will have an opportunity to prove he is a better leather pusher than Frankie Kolborn when the two scrappers clash in a return bout Tuesday night at the Coliseum.

Two weeks ago, Kolborn, who looks more like a ring clown than a boxer, outpointed Simon from the start and gained a decision over the Buckeye veteran. Nebolsky, realizing he was whipped in this bout, asked for a return battle and this time threatens to put the Iowa puncher away for keeps. The bout will be for eight rounds. The popular Nick Nicholson of Shelbyville, who dropped an un- MIZE GAINS IN NAT! LEAGUE BATTING RACE NEW YORK, Sept. 25.

UP) Heading into the last week of the season with a 17-point bulge over his nearest rival, Ducky Medwick of the Cardinals today figured to walk off with the National League hitting championship and probably four other individual crowns. Surprise of the week was Johnny Mize, who belted 14 hits in 22 official times at bat to raise his aver age seven points to .359 and take over second place in the league. With his 17-point edge over Mize, Medwick shouldn't have any trouble accomplishing his most cherished ambition in the rapidly fading sea son. At the same time, he continued to lead in run scoring, with 108 to 103 for Rookie Hershel Martin of the Phillies, in runs batted in, with 148 to 106 for Frank Demaree of the Cubs, in total hits, with 224 to 210 for Paul Waner, and in doubles, by the lop-sized margin of 56 to 39 for Mize. With a comparatively safe edge in all but runs, there doesn't seem to be much anyone can do to stop him between now and Oct.

3. Trailing Medwick and Mize in the hitting race were Hartnett, Cubs, with Waner, Pirates, with Ernie Lombardi, of the Reds, with Pinky Whitney, Phillies, 345; his teammate, Dolph Camilli, Billy Herman, Cubs, Heinie Manush, Dodgers, .334, and Lloyd Waner, Pirates, .333. Mel Ott, of the Giants, continued to set the pace in homer hammer ing, with 31 circuit clouts for the season, compared to 29 for Med wick. Arky Vaughan of the Pirates was way out in front in triples, with 17. Augie Galan of the Cubs held the lead in base stealing, with 23.

Carl Hubbell, the Giants great left-hander, was the pitching leader, with 21 victories and eight setbacks, and Charley Root, Chicago's hard working relief hurler, remained second, with 13 wins and five losses.

With runners on first and second, Lippy Leo Durocher hit to Billy Herman, who relayed to Rip Collins on first, Reardon at first called Durocher out, but reversed the decision, claiming Collins pulled his foot off the bag.
