The game was much closer that the score would indicate, as the Ball State gridders played inspired ball at times. Starting off with determination to win, they drove the down the field in seven consecutive plays, and placed the oval on the eight-yard line, later carrying it over. After Franklin had knotted the score at 6-all, the Ball State players again started a goa ward drive that could not be denied, and led their opponents, 12 to 6 when the kick was blocked.

Less than a minute later Surface, giant Franklin fullback, broke through the line, shook off two tacklers, and raced forty yards for a touchdown to again tie the score. Under-dogs from the start, conceded no chance of victory and little to even hold the touted Baptists, who boast one of their best teams this year, the Cardinals fought until the final gun, and when the game ended the ball was resting on the Franklin three-yard line, in possession of Ball State and three downs left to attempt to take it over. Loveless Goes Over.Ball State kicked to Franklin to open the game and on the play Brewer, kicking for Franklin, muffed bad pass from center nearly fumbled.

Butler University Stadium, Indianapolis, Nov. 14 (AP) Marquette's Golden Avalanche of football added more impetus to its victory march here today with a powerful, varied attack that buried the Bulldogs of Butler University under a 21-to-0 defeat.

Playing without the services of Johnny a Sisk, heretofore the most important boulder of their collection, the Hilltoppers from Milwaukee, left two doubt of their superiority, rolling up 21 first downs to Butler's two. attempts, them laterals, for They completed, ten of fourteen pass a total gain via the air of 137 yards, and ran the ends, crashed tackles and bucked, the center of the Butler line yards by rushing. The Bulldogs failed to make much of an imprint in the Marquette defense, completing only three pass attempts. that for five yards, and gaining only 57 yards by rushing. The Marquette eleven, which has lost only one game in two years, Sisk, who ill.

Led by E. Ronzani, seemed not, to need the services of versatile quarterback, and Elliott, a crashing halfback, they subdued the Bulldogs with apparent ease. The only time the Butler eleven showed any power was in bracing when Marquette reached the danger zone. Their line plays failing to gain there, the visitors promptly began throwing passes, which the Bulldogs seemed unable to Marquette's three touchdowns resulted HURT IN PIMLICO SPILL Baltimore, Nov. 14 (P)-Jockeys Willie Nertney and Vincent Roussell were taken to the South Baltimore serious condition, following a spill at Hospital today, the former a the Pimlico track this afternoon.

Punts Passes Mr. Walter Fisher, Football Coach, Muncie High School. Dear Mr. Fisher: In these times of stress the much-bullied public excuses about everything, so I am writing you a letter. As ye panic has eaten the roots, from under everything but the life, letter writing is about all be- left.

And another thing, Mr. Fisher, the time I intend to let you for a few months, as with this issue Punts and Passes makes its departure from the pages of this newspaper. The most successful football season enjoyed by your men and yourself calls for congratulations, Mr. Fisher, and Punts and Passes hereby votes unanimously to deliver a sack of congratulations at the door of your country residence. (Will you take chocolate or vanilla?) But on the level, Mr.

Fisher, the showing of your football team this past season has made for the most successful grid year since your arrival at the school some four- or is it five- years back. Obstacles have been overcome, but in the main Good Fortune has led faithfully the Bearcat footsteps. Games were lost to teams doubtless better than football team, Mr. Fisher, and game was lost honorably. The Bearcat fight, that bugaboo of the teams which have been wrecked in the last minute drives that have gone hand in Bearcat athletics has been present in pleasing quantities.

certain, Mr. Fisher, that you can in no way hand, wither criticize the attitude of your fighting men in any game this year. A fine gang of ball players, Mr. Fisher, and it is too bad that some played their final game yesterday. Captain "Si" Moore, Keg Settles, John King, George Evans, Mike Karlen, Gerald Bartlett, Charley Kyle, Tom, New--all fine boys--fighters- gentlemen.

You might tell those boys, Mr. Fisher, that Old Punts is for them to the last ditch and wishes them every success in battles before them. And to you, Mr. Fisher, this column again offers hearty congratulations and joins with some few thousand Bearcat backers in wishing you every success in next year's gridiron endeavor. Respectfully, BOB BARNET.

November 14. Mr. Lawrence D. McPhee, Head Coach Football, Ball State Teachers College. Dear Mac: To the average football enthusiast it might seem, Mr.

McPhee, that you are in need of sympathy. You get very little from me. Sympathy is oftentimes better saved for those of the folks who fail to come up to expectations because of weaknesses of their own. In my opinion, Mr. McPhee, you need no sympathy simpiy because your Ball Starters and yourself did your best.

That rates congratulations--not sympathy! A tough season ended yesterday Mac, a season which had little to offer in the way of the small encouragements accorded a football coach. Many games were lost, too many, as you know. However that is done and past. Were the folks on the outside of the fence privileged know the facts of the case there would be less hammering and pounding the village anvils, ton Mr. McPhee.

Good breaks came few and far between during the season just passed. and in their stead Ill Fortune tagged ever at the heels of your football team. Where there should have been at least: a few good breaks there were none. Even the law of averages failed you, Mac, and that is bad. Very of folks who at the season's record above and then breathe a pitying sigh for Ball State know of the handicaps that have faced you and your boys since the opening game.

Few of them know that Hodge, a good backfield man, had to quit school to go to work. Few remember that John Kitchell was out of the lineup for the last four weeks with a twisted knee; or that Vaughn Redding played when a sprained ankle wobbled like two-day-old calf: or that half the players on the team through the greater part of the season have been suffering from ailments and injuries that should have kept them on the honorably. Few know that your Redbirds played when they disabled simply because there was no reserve bench strength to put on the field. Few knew vou considered yourself a child of the gods if you had eighteen men on field for practice. There were not many of the home folks who heard about that collision in practice before the Indiana State game when little Delmar Cote, your quarterback, was knocked senseless when he ran into a player warming up for the game.

Few know that the little Sycamore upstate field general played through the first half with consciousness to remember hardly half the signals. Few knew that the enough off on the wrong foot down there that day because of that boys got unforseen collision, Mac, and lost a game that they would otherwise have won. But. that could go on forever. Your task during the past season.

Mac. has been more difficult than that of your friend and associate, Walter Fisher, whose team was winning easily practically every You have had to fight against discouragement, constant reversals, injuries, low morale- a hundred other bugaboos of the athletic coach. Perhaps next year will be no better than this. That is to be decided in halls other than where this is written. But give the fellows a pat on the back for us, Mac, especially those who are leaving.

Tell them we all say "nice going. gang," and hope that 1932 will hold a bit more of the nice things in football life. Respectfully, PUNTS AND PASSES. SOLDIER FIELD TILT TO CULVER ELEVEN, 19-0, BEFORE 25,000 Soldier Field, Chicago, Nov. 14 (AP) A furious second-period bombardment gave Culver Military Academy three -range touchdowns and a 19-0 victory over the cadets from St.

John's in a charity game before 25,000 spectators here today. The Hoosiers had the upper hand throughout the game, though the heavier St. John's line and a muddy field kept them away from the goal line except during their second-quarter barrage. A midget halfback, Leonard Cherry of Tama, weighing 128 pounds, was a constant worry to the Wisconsin preps. He got loose for runs of nineteen and thirty yards to keep the ball deep in St.

John's territory through the first period, and on the first play of the second quarter, ran nineteen yards around right for a touchdown, adding the extra point from placement. Elaborate military maneuvers and parading of bands before the game and between halves made a colorful display for the benefit of honored guests which included Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams and Maj. Gen. Frank Parker. Score by periods: Culver 19 0 0-19 St.

John's 0 0 0 OREGON ELEVENS IN TIE Eugene, Nov. 14 (AP)-With the football championship at stake, Oregon State College and the University of Oregon fought to a tie in the annual homegame here today. Throughout the first half both teams resorted to punts to advance the ball and in the second half they took to the air in an effort to score. WILDCATS GET A REAL SCARE Hoosiers Outplay Foe Greater Part of Game. Dyche Stadium, Evanston, Nov.

14 (P)-Northwestern's gridiron machine, rolling toward undisputed championship of the Western Conference, was almost stalled today, but managed to grind out a slender, onepoint victory over Indiana's scrapping Hoosiers. The score, 7 to 6, indicates just how big a scare the Wildcats suffered before a crowd of 19,000 spectators, who shuddered for nearly three periods at the prospect of a 6-to-0 Indiana triumph. The Hoosiers, battling like madmen, fought the great Wildcat line off its feet from the start, and through two periods and part of another, were considerably the better. Their touchdown was the result of a dazzling 51- yard run by a Negro substitute halfback, Jesse Babb of Fort Wayne, Ind. Babb streaked over Northwestern's left end and on until he was knocked out of bounds on the Wildcat fouryard line.

Place-Kick Fails. The period ended a moment later, but Bob Jones, Indiana's fullback, went over for a touchdown as the second period opened. Vic Dauer, Hoosier quarterback, attempted to placekick the extra point, but the ball struck an upright and bounded back into the field for a heart-breaking failure. Northwestern began to pick up speed in the third, and a fumble, recovered by Fencl, gave the Wildcats their opportunity. With the ball on Indiana's 22-yard line, Reb Russell, playing his first game in five weeks, with help from Rentner and Engelbretsen, galloped his way to a touchdown.

George Potter, Wildcat quarterback. stepped up with Marvil holding the ball and sent it between the posts for the extra point and victory. It was Northwestern's fourth straight "Big Ten" triumph and left only Iowa to be conquered at Iowa City next week in its path to the undisputed title. Outgain Purple From Scrimmage. Northwestern had been figured to defeat Indiana, by as big a margin as it the Hoosiers again threatened to upset the Wildcats as they did 1927-28-29.

Northwestern made four first downs. to the Hoosiers' three. Indiana gained 120 yards from scrimmage, one more than Northwestern and managed to bottle up the Wildcat passing attack. Northwestern completed one pass out of 12, for a six-yard gain, while three of Indiana's four aerials were intercepted. Jones, who did Indiana's kicking, gave a great account of himself against Ollie Olson and Potter.

He averaged 40 yards on 16 attempts, while the Northwestern pair had a mean of 41 yards in 18 boots. Lineup and summary: INDIANA. NORTHWESTERN. Dickey LE. Manske Rascher J.

14 (P)-Iowa's Hawkeyes had the courage but not the class to compete against Purdue's big crew of Boilermakers today and were crushed into a 22-to-0 defeat before a homecoming throng of 18,000. The result, which kept the Boilermakers' heads up in the struggle for second place in the Big Ten championship with three victories and one defeat, was a conclusion after the first exchange of thrusts. Hecker, Horstman Set Pace. Roy Horstman and Fred Hecker were the big guns in Purdue's attack--an attack that netted 429 yards from scrimmage as compared with a mere 67 for the Hawkeyes. Each scored a touchdown.

The Boilermaker scoring parade started soon after the beginning of the period. Hecker, Horstman and Pardonner marched 67 yards for the first touchdown. Pardonner dropkicked the extra point and Purdue was off. After advancing to Iowa's eightyard line in the forepart of the third period, Purdue found itself stopped but a new march, again 67 yards long. gave Hecker a chance to push over the second touchdown.

Pardonner again drop-kicked the extra point. Safety Ends Scoring. The fourth period was just in its infancy when the Boilermakers pushed over their final touchdown. Purvis, Risk and Yunevich shelled the Iowa defense until they reached onetoot. for line.

HARVARD SHUTS OUT HOLY CROSS, 7 TO 0 Cambridge, Nov. 14 (AP)- -The vigilant Harvard eleven ended its preliminary season undefeated today by overcoming Holy Cross' famed passing attack and using one of its two scoring chances to pin a 7-0 decision on the Crusaders before a capacity crowd of 58,000. The Crimson touchdown came early in the opening session when its outstanding. -carrier, Jack Crickard.

ended a 72-yard march with a fireyard scoring smash inside his right tackle. Captain Wood dropkicked the extra point, but he was unable to repeat in the closing session when he attempted a field goal after Harvard's only other march was checked on Holy Cross' eightyard mark. S. M. U.

PURPLE TAKES DAZZLING WIN November 14. PANTHER AIR ATTACK HANDS ARMY WORST DEFEAT OF SEASON Stadium, Pittsburgh, Nov.

14 -A swirling ground fog that struck the gridiron and enshrouded the big municipal stadium today a perfect screen for the passing attack of Coach Jock Sutherland's Pittsburgh Panthers as they took to the atmosphere to hand a strong Army eleven its worst defeat of the When the final gun seasonided and 62,000 spectators able to relax from the tiring "task of peering through the fog, the scoreboard read: Pitt 26, Army 0. Fourteen hundred cadets who had sat in dismal silence from the openind whistle made their way out of the arena and prepared to return to West Point. There was never a doubt of outcome, so completely did the Panthers dominate the situation. Never once did the future generals penetrate Pittsburgh territory. the forward pass with rare proficiency, the Panthers pegged aerials through and over the West Pointers for all four of their touchdowns and rolled up a total of 302 yards by that route.

The winners collected 16 first downs against three in making the required distance until for the Cadets, who never, succeeded well along in the final period and made only 32 yards from scrimmage all afternoon. TIGERS HUMBLED AGAIN Princeton, N. Nov. 14 (AP) A slashing Washington and Lee eleven brought gloom unprecedented to old Nassau's campus today by handing the Princeton Tiger its sixth straight defeat. The score was 6 to 0.

It was the first time the Generals from Lexington, had triumphed in half a dozen tussles with the Orange and Black, Powerful Ft. Wayne Eleven Shut Out, 13-0. By Bob Barnet. Muncie's mighty Bearcats drove through the bitter resistence of the Green Archers of South Side of Fort Wayne yesterday afternoon to register a great 13-to-0 victory in their final game of the season. The win was the eighth in ten starts for Walter Fisher's fighting men.

It was homecoming and senior day. Walter Fisher's legions outfought, outdrove, and outgeneraled the big boys from the North, battled savagely on defense until a break came and then converted it into a touchdown that was matched by another sixpointer shoved over by the shock troops in the last minute of the game. Flash Best Play of Season. Under -dogs as the big green-clad Archers trotted out for the opening kick-off, Fisher's Centralites played the best football that they have shown in any game this season. The great running backfield men, Joie Hottinger and Cleon Cook, ripped and tore persistently at the Archer line while the forward wall of the Purple was crushing every Fort Wayne offensive before it was hardly begun.

Seldom have a pair of backfield men come into their own as Cook-Hottinger combination, ripping and slashing through the Archer line. Assisted by fine blocking on the part of little Karlen, Heistand and Bartlett, Muncie's great running duo were unstoppable by the Archer defensive men. The Muncie forward wall badly outplayed the Fort Wayne giants, Bearcat tacklers sifting through to halt offensive thrusts often enough to almost paralyze the hard running Archer ground-gaining machine. Throughout a scoreless first half the Bearcat defensive threw back time after time the powerful Fort Wayne driving attack. The Purple was twice thrown back against its own goal line but each time held to prevent enemy scoring.

Archers Fumble Chance. In the second quarter Domer, the big Fort. Wayne fullback, made it first down ten on the Muncie 10-yard line after his mates had carried the ball deep into Muncie territory with slashing line drives and power plays that. broke from confusing backfield spinners and fakes. A drive by Beerey, the Archer right halfback, placed the ball on the eight-yard line and Muncie's five-yard penalty for -sides on the the ball on the Bearcat yard stripe.

A bad pass from center next play, however, proved to be the break that prevented an almost certain Fort Wayne touchdown. The ball was grounded on the Muncie 25-yard line by LuPoint, a reserve back. as he was covered by Max Wilson and Mike Karlen. LuPoint sliced to the 15-yard line on play and onward to the 12-yard line. Jones went to the 10- yard line and there the Muncie line held for downs.

Cook went to the 17-yard line and Hottinger out of a fake kick formation circled the end for first down on the 25-vard line but a 15-yard penalty forced the Bearcats back on their two-yard line. Hottinger punted from back of his goal line and in three plays Upton intercepted a Fort Wayne pass and Muncie took possession of the ball to hold it until the half ended. It was Coach Fisher's famous fake substitution sleeper play that resulted in the scoring of Muncie's touchdown Continued on Tenth Page. RAMBLER CREW SINKS MIDDIES Tars Blanked, 20-0, in Second Period Attack. Baltimore Stadium, Baltimore, Nov.

14. The Navy's football ship, tossed about uncertainly in its campaign so far this season, ran afoul the Notre Dame hurricane here today and floundered on the rocks of a 20-to-0 defeat. The green-shirted raiders of South Bend smashed over the Navy goal three times in the second period, but after that a stubborn Middy defense halted the fast-running backs and played the powerful line on almost even terms to stop every scoring threat. The Middies, in holding the highscoring, to outfit three carrying touchdowns, on for surprised Notre those who had expected the gold helmeted steam roller to smother them under an avalanche of scoring. Tars Denied Down.

Even at that, the 20 points scored by the ramblers was not a criterion of the difference between the two teams in everything but stubbornness of defense. Not one first down did the Navy register while the South Benders were counting fourteen. Although. the ripped Notre the Dame, line first- almost at will in the first period, when the threat entered the scoring zone, the Tars held fast. Not until the second period did Notre Dame get scoring range.

Then it came quick and fast. Schwartz started it. An exchange of kicks gave Notre Dame possession of the ball on the Navy 33-yard line. The one and only Marchmont shot a lateral pass to Banas who raced ten yards and then he shot through left tackle to the Navy 15. With perfect interference opening the entire left side of the Middy line, Schwartz dashed through and over the goal standing up.

The second touchdown was the reContinued on Tenth Page. TROJANS WALK OVER MONTANA GRIZZLIES Olympic Stadium, Los Angeles, Nov. 14 (P)-A bunch of Montana Grizzlies, who dared bare their claws within the walls of Troy were given a 69-to-0 trouncing by the University of Southern California football team today before 30,000 persons, Coach Howard Jones used every Trojan in the massacre which saw ten crossings of the northern eleven's goal line in the first three periods of play. That the score might have been even higher does not give just proof of the fact that Montana fought back and even twice presented something of a sustained attack. At best the gridiron served only as a proving ground for the Trojans, as Coach Jones tried Johnny Baker out at left end for the first time and gave his regulars only a small share of the afternoon workout.
