He received 67 points out of a possible 80.

18, (xP)-Those loud detonations you'll hear nround dusk Saturday will be the exploding of at leas' four of football's undefeated and untied record? at Pittsburgh, Birmingham, New York and Cambridge. Barring ties which would cut both ways, either Pitt or Minnesota will walk the plank of defeat in Pitt stadium. At Birmingham it will be cither Alabama or Tennessee whose votes; Vernon Gomez, New York, record is smeared. Columbia and 60; Schoolboy Rowe, ace Tiger pitcher, received 59, and Lou Geh- rlg. Yankee first baseman, was given 64.

Foxx Is Tenth Of the eight ballots cast, Cochrane was named first on six, Gehringer on one and Rowe on another that all eight firsts, counting 10 Wtes each, went to Detroit players. The fact that Cochrane's name did not appear on one ballot resulted In the close point total himself and Gehringer. between Nineteen players, Including stars on every club except the down-fallen Senators, received votes. Jimmle Foxx, home run slugger of the Athletics and winner of the award last year, was tenth with only 11 votes For the first time since the award was made an annual honor in 1922, Babe Ruth's name was missing, even on the honorable mention list of 19 names.

Incidentally, it is a significant tip-off on a topsy-turvy season that there are so few major games involving undefeated and untied teams on so early a date in the campaign. Ordinarily there would be a dozen or more but the string of upsets that started with the opening of the season has decimated the ranks of schools which usually wait until late in November, if at all, before joining the list of the defeated. If you don't believe it, take a look at the Big Ten where the fun has barely begun, yet Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio State and Northwestern all have been walloped at least once.

Or the Pacific Coast conference where Washington's Huskies alone have escaped defeat or tie. Tussle in Dixie Minnesota, coached by Bernie Bierman, has been hailed by Mid- Western critics as the outstanding team of that section, the Big Ten's contender for the national championship, mythical or otherwise.

Sewanee scored the only touchdown against the Tide.

Navy has shown encouraging progress Hamilton's leadership under Tom and Saturday's encounter should be close.

Holy Cross has been touted for weeks as one of the East's most powerful arrays but the Crusaders so far have not been seriously tested.

He's arguing with the umpire, a pompous fellow in ice cream pants who seems to take great delight in calling them against Ducky Medwick, who's playing a mild left field for change, Paul Dean, whose arm is so sore he can't pitch but plays right field, and the Dizzy one.

We'll leave just as soon as he finishes his vaudeville act Tuesday, two weeks." What He Told Umpire The umpire had just called a negro runner safe when he stole home after dropping a flyball into right that Paul Dean kicked into a triple was roaring.

"You know what Dizy did once in St. Louis when he got mnd at an umpire? It was Ernie Quigley or Charlie Moran. He ran in fron the box, grabbed him by the bac of the-neck, bent his head over th plate and yelled: Can you bend over, you ol Blankety Blank? Can you see i you blind so and so? Well, take good look.

At the same time they were nearing that climax of fighting pitch which all good Oilers attain whenever they let their minds come to rest upon the subject of meeting Alton in any kind of athletic competition. Seeking new deception and diversity of attack. Coach Barton has given his charges new plays It was deception, rather than straight power or pure ability to outreach their opponents for passes, that enabled them to defeat Belleville last Saturday.

The scoring once before, though not quite so successfully during the a forward pass from Ufert to Crews at end, and a lateral flip from Crews to Losch, who cUpped off the re- malning 20 yards to the goal down i the sidelines after catching the oval in the clear. That Old Spirit Meanwhile some players were putting a bit of a damper on Coach Barton's spirits as they showed up still troubled with old injuries. Czernlski, who hasn't been exactly "right" all the way around since the opening game of the season against Gillespie, still wasn't able to take full swing at practice this week. Springer, guard, was nursing a shoulder injury, while Hannold's charley-horse was still bothering him. Still stiff and sore from the Belleville battle, the oilers took it easy the first of the week, but their real work had begun yesterday and was due to continue today.

Coach Barton was nursing no illusions about the Alton team's power and deception after witnessing the demonstration of its aerial game against East St. Louis last Friday night. Naturally, he is expressing some misgivings about the difference In weight of the lines, pointing to Harrison's and Kodros' tremendous power as more than able to balance up a probable lightness along the rest of the Redbirds' front wall.
