Wins Event as Spartans Take Team Title Third Straight Year By OELO ROBERTSON NEW YORK, Nov.

18. 0P-Jd by John Edward Bechtold. skinny lad of 14U pounds who belled his staying powers, Michigan State's Spartans came out of the Mid-West to show the way to the leading harriers of the East for the third straight year today as they won the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association cross-country run at Van Cortlandt Park. With Gene VenrJce. Pennsylvania great miler, offering an argument almost every step of the rain-soaked five-mile course, Bechtold unloosed a sprint in the final 250 yards that left the former king of the indoor milers 20 yards to the rear at the finish.

In chalking up his most important victory since leaving the sidewalks of New York to study engineering at the Lansing (Mich.) school, Bechtold was clocked In 26.23.6, while Venzke, fading rapidly in the closing strides, was caught In 26.28. The time goes down in the books as a new record as it was the first time the event had been run over five miles a mile shorter than in previous years. The defeat was a neart-oreaking set-back for Venzke, who has waged many a stirring mile battle with Bill Bonthron and Glen Cunningham dur ing the last two years. The Penn stylist made a game finish to break Michigan State's monopoly but in the end he was unable to match the final charge of the Spartans' 23-year-old captain. While Bechtold was giving Michigan State Its fourth individual title In six years, his teammates came rolling in among the leaders to pile up the low aggregate of 30 points.

Kenneth A. Wait was in third place, Nelson J. Gardner, third last year, crossed tne line in sixth position with Gerard H. Boss, ninth and Arthur Green, eleventh. Michigan State's command of the situation was broken only by Venzke, Wilbur T.

Woodland, of Yale, who finished fourth; James Rafferty, Ford-ham, who landed in fifth place; two Cornell men, Herbert H. Cornell and Edmund Mezitt, who were seventh and eighth, respectively, and Paul L. Dee. of Manhattan, who wound up tenth. One hundred and thirty-two started the long journey and all except three finished.

Although placing only one man among the first ten, Manhattan took runner-up honors for the team championship with 93 points. Cornell finished third with 147 and Pittsburgh fourth with 186. Then came in order, New York University, Penn State, Maine, Columbia, Rhode Island State, Syracuse. Yale. Fordham, Princeton.

C. C. N. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rutgers, Alfred, Penn sylvania and Lafayette. Although beaten for varsity team honors, the green clad Manhattan freshmen took the three mile race for first-year men.

Charles Southard, of Syracuse, led the field of 75 home id 15.61.4 but the Jaspers finished five of their men among the next 13 to take team honors with 29 points. Syracuse was second with 83 and Cor nell third with 93. 'Buhner' Byrnes Will Be Buried This Morning Teammates of Chaitanooea High School Boy Will Be Pallbearers CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 18.

16 1st PRIZE A Pair of $5.00 Far-Ahead Shoes toon by ELEANOR STENLAKE 119 S. 15th St, Allentown 2nd PRIZE A Pair of $4.00 Far-Ahead Shoea toon by CHARLES ECK, 108 N. 10th Allentown ALLENTOWN EASY PAYMENT PLAN 1 rinds His Coupan And Free Grid Tickets Frank Nigro, of 347 Hamilton street, was elated last Saturday night as he scanned the day's football scores on the bulletin boards in the windows of the Morning Call, because he knew he had won free tickets to the annual Turkey Day game between Allen-town and Bethlehem. But when Frank- arose yesterday morning and avidly read through the list of names of persons chosen win-. ners of the Morning Call's football contest, his delight turned to keenest disappointment.

His name was not mentioned! "Something must be done about this." decided Frank, so he made haste to the editorial rooms of the Call. Three- times his efforts were rebuffed, because the man he wanted to see- was not working. When he finally did contact the Football Contest Editor he learned that In order to acquire his tickets he would have to find his coupon among the thousands which are retained for just this sort of mistake. "Well, It's a pretty tough job," said Frank, "but if I buy my own, my seats won't be as good. I'll go through them!" he exclaimed, emphatically.

And through them he did go. He sorted for more than an hour for the ticket the Contest Editor failed to find. Presently, he found one sent in by his brother, Gerald, and he gained fresh courage. Not long afterwards he let loose an exultant whoop and nothing more was needed to convince the Contest Editor that Frank had found his coupon. He picked Allentown High to defeat William Penn, 12 to Ashland to stop Bethlehem, 7-0; Easton to take the measure of Reading, 7-0; the Army-Notre Dame game as a scoreless tie.

Penn was selected to best Penn State, 14-0; Albright to top Lebanon Valley, 7-6; Colgate to down Syracuse, 19-0; Temple to defeat Marquette by a 6-0 score; Pitt to trounce Nebraska, 25-0, and Duke to nose out North Carolina, 7-6.

Nov. 18. This weik's college football ranking list is fairly well Indicated by the latest from the combat zones.

Conceding in advance that there's little to choose now among the nation's leaders, here's our "Top Ten" for the time being: 1, Southern Methodist; 2, Minnesota: 3, Texas Christian; 4, Princeton; 5. California; 6, Rice; 7, Louisiana State; 8, Alabama; 9, Dartmouth; 10, Pittsburgh. Minnesota, by crushing Michigan, for the first time this season displayed scoring power comparable to the 1934 Gophers. One such demonstration doesnt necessarily prove it's the same kind of a steam-roller, but there's no doubt now that Minnesota again Is the class of the Big Ten, that it almost surely will whip Wisconsin to finish a second straight undefeated season and that the Gophers can dispute any rival's claim to national honors. Southern Methodist remains at the head of the class for the reason that the "Pony Express" covered more ground and accomplished more convincing results than any other team last week.

After shellacking U. C. L. A. at Los Angeles on Monday with an exhibition that had coast critics searching for superlatives, S.

M. U. came half-way across the country and registered another Impressive victory, against Arkansas, despite the loss of its star fullback. Meanwhile, Texas Christian turned loose a terrific blast of power to trounce Texas, 28 to 0, and move several notches higher in the standing. Down in the southwest, where the brand of football on exhibition this year has the onlookers somewhat dazzled, the feeling has developed that the Texas Christians are even better than the Southern Methodists.

They will have a chance to prove it on the last Saturday of the month. Meanwhile, T. C. U. runs the risk of being knocked off this week by the Owls of Rice.

Princeton, whose high ranking this far has been the subject of considerable debate, due to the relative "softness" of this year's Tiger schedule, should.be fully tested this Saturday by another unbeaten-untied team, Dartmouth. The Princetons unquestionably have everything needed to qualify them as a great team, except such opposition as top "clubs" of the Big Ten and Southwest Conferences have been tackling nearly every week. Nevertheless, within the past mojith, the Tigers have handled everything tossed at them with such amazing ease that they cannot be overlooked in any debate about the best In the country. A decisive victory over Dartmouth trounced last year, 38 to 13, at Tiger-town would remove anv linserine doubt about Princeton's class. California, perhaps as fine a defensive team as any in the land, likewise has the opportunity to deliver the old convincer this week.

The Golden Bears, who have yielded only a touchdown and a safety in nine games so far, meet Stanford in the "big game" of the Pacific Coast season. The outcome will decide the conference title as well as the west's Rose Bowl choice. Ohio State and Notre Dame played the year's most spectacular game, at Columbus, but subsequent ments have conclusively proved observers were optimisitic in attaching national championship significance to the outcome. Apparently both the Bucks and the Irish were somewhat overrated on the basis of October performances. Neither belongs In the first ten now.

OP) Richard Sullivan, 19-year-old Notre Dame student from Poughkeepsie, N. was in a critical condition in St. Joseph hospital today from a broken neck suffered in a Sunday lnterhall football game.

Sullivan, a sophomore playing with the St. Edward's Hall team against the Freshman Hall eleven when he was injured. He was paralyzed below the shoulders. Attending physicians said his chance to recover was slight His father, J. R.

Sullivan, advertising manager of the Poughkeepsie Sunday Courier, was called to South Bend. 'Mules' Have Indoor Drill Start Work for Dickinson Game Saturday, Last Home Engagement of Season The slushy field kept the Muhlenberg college gridders indoors yesterday, with Coach Johnny Utz devoting the session to Dickinson college's offensive and the defense to be used by the Mules this week in the final home game of the season on Saturday. This Saturday the Mules will have their last chance to salvage some glory out of the disappointing season before the home crowd, as they finish up the season on Thanksgiving day at Reading against Albright. It marks also the close of the Conference season for the Crusading Cardinals, who have done little real crusading this year, although they have tried hard but lack of numbers and a heavy toll of injuries have proved too much for the souad. Coach Johnny Utz and his boys cannot be censured for the record of this year's club, since only twenty eight players reported for practice at the opening of the drills, and since that time injuries have cut the squad until now there are only twenty-one players available, and many times at practice sessions there aren't enough men to make up a team and a line to work against let alone two full teams for a decent workout.

In every game played this year the Mules have been overpowered by the man-power of the opponents wno could toss one, two or even threw teams of equal strength against them without affecting the efficiency of their play. But through it all the Mules have fought hard to make a good showing. Never once have the Mules been accused of giving up the ship truth of this can be seen in the fact that most of the Mules' scoring has been done in the second half of the game.

Grantland Rice, noted sports columnist, pays a glowing tribute to Meyer, former Allentown High star, for his play in the Army-Notre Dame last Saturday In Yankee Stadium. Part of Grantland Rice's tribute to the Army team follows: "in this last last meeting it was 140-pound Monk Meyer of the Army 140 pounds of high explosive that dominated a pig part ot the scene. "It was Meyer's toe that, kicked Notre Dame into the coffin comer along the Irish one-yard line.

"It was Monk Meyer's arm that whipped the pass to Grove for the 40-yard touchdown play. "It was Monk Meyer's flying feet that apparently carried the Army out of danger on a 50 -yard dash with only spinning seconds left to play. "Just how one man could crowd as much football into a 140-pound system might even baffle the scientists. Yet even Monk Meyer's all around skill and the desperate scrapping of his mates could not stave off that last Notre Dame drive practically a replica of the B0-yara march against Ohio State lor ner second score." Jewish Five to Face East Ends The Allentown East Ends will combat the Jewish Communltv Center five in an early season basketball treat on the Jewish Community Center floor, tonight. The contest is booked to be gin at 8.30 clock.

Ben Wolfson, Coplay High mentor who is instructing the J. C. C. passers this year, expects to have bis boys primed for a victory. The return of Jack Rablnowitz and "Sell" Becker, two of the Center's stars, will consid erably strengthen the Center team and should restore a broken morale.

The East Ends boast a fine group of players this season, including Wal-ly Forbes and "Bumps" Hellerlch, former Allentown High stalwarts, and "Inks" Roedell, coach of the Central Junior High squad. Although the Center team lost Its booster game Sunday to the Philadelphia Y. M. H. the boys are not disheartened.

They expect to make the east aiders pay double for every point that was scored against them by the Quakers.

(Billy) Evans, general manager of the Cleveland Indians for eight years, resigned today. Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland baseball company, announced the resignation and said it had been accepted with regret. At the same time, Bradley announced the office of general manager was being discontinued and that C. C. Slapnika, chief scout for the Indians for 14 years, had been appointed assistant to the president.

Evans, an umpire in the American League for 22 years before he became manager of the Cleveland club, said his plans were "indefinite, although I hope to have a new job by the time my present contract expires November 27."

Slow Motion Movies Fail to Settle Army Notre Dame Question NEW YORK, Nov. 18.

OP) Slow motion pictures of the Army- Notre Dame football game, shown today at the Pathe studios, failed to settle the argument over the play on which the Cadets were penalized for pass interference, on their two yard line, and the Irish thereby given their chance to score the tying touchdown in the last minute. The pictures showed both Whtt-ey Grove, Army halfback, and Bill Orohs, quarterback, in proximity to Wayne Millner, Notre Dame receiver, but left a question as to what, if any, interference occurred. On a previous pass, where no interference was called, it appeared as though Mike Layden, Notre Dame halfback, was more closely covered than Millner was on the subsequent and more critical play R. Crowley, of Bowdoin, um-' pire of the game, who backed up the decision of the Field Judge, A. W.

Palmer, saw the pictures and expressed the opinion they showed illegal interference.
