Thursday, it will be a test of Butte power, sparked by the elusive running of Quarterback Jackelinl, against the speed and finesse of the Bronco offensive.

Stanford had its fingers in the Rose Bowl today, as everyone knows, but the football world may have to wait two weeks for official confirmation of this fact, Cntll the ten "coast conference members ballot on the western representative for the New Year's day classic at Pasadena, Stanford will be pretty much in the position of a millionaire marooned on an otherwise uninhabited island plenty of coupons to clip and no place to cash them in.

The voting, if conference policy is carried out, will be held after Stanford plays its remaining and final game, with California, November 30. Bears Plenty Tough Despite the outcome of that contest, however, Stanford can finish no worse than a tie, and that with Washington, a team it already has defeated. A deadlock with the northern team would result if the Indians lost: to California and Washington won its last two games, with the University of California at Los Angeles and Washington State. The 28-14 victory over Oregon State yesterday was the sixth conference win for Stanford. California, charging like a champion after a weak getaway at the start of the season, knocked over Oregon, 14-6, yesterday and like Stanford has an open date next week-end.

Lew Jenkins Fights Pel Lello Friday NEW YORK, Nov. 17. (IP) Lew Jenkins, lightweight kingpin from Sweetwater, Texas, heads this week's national boxing program.

He meets Pete Lello of Chicago for the title at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Lello has met Jenkins once before, in March 1939, before the Texan annexed the crown.

Regarding reserves, the teams appear about even, with Harry Dahlberg's Butte club extra strong at the ends and center, and Billings boasting a margin where guards and backs are concerned. Each Has Climax Runner Each club has a fine climax runner, the Purples' spearheading with Jackelinl and the Broncos with Captain Jim CDonnell. Billings also lists an excellent open field speed merchant in Richie Spath, who can go when CDonnell Is stopped, and in Halfback Barney Berger, owns one of-the most polished passers and punters. There is little to choose between lines. Yovetich, tackle, and McGarry, center, probably will team with De Sylvia, the other tackle, against Dick Chapman, tackle; End Jack Heald and Hector Rodgers, guard, as top-notch performers among the.

OP) John McCloskey, 78, who probably organized more professional leagues than any other man during his 60 active years in baseball, died today. In addition to his promotion work which included fathering the Texas league, "Honest John," as he was known to baseball circles, had been a player, scout, manager and executive and was credited with discovering some of the game's brightest stars.

He managed 47 teams during his career. Among the players he uncovered were Ed Konechty, Jimmy Collins, Fred Clarke, Honus Wagner. Joe Tinker and Amos Strunk. WELL KNOWN IN BUTTE Old "Honest probably the most-colorful-figure-ever-identified with baseball in Montana, was widely known and greatly respected in Butte. He managed the old Northwestern league club here that played at Columbia Gardens in 1902.

Then, among other clubs, he bossed the St. Louis Cardinals in the National league, kept "Home Run" Joe Marshall of Butte with him on all his clubs, Including the Butte team in the old Union Association which McCloskey managed in 1910 and 1911. That club played at McCloskey park, now open playground known as the Harrison avenue fields and used for sports contests of all kinds. With his last team here "was an uncle of the three Di Maggio brothers now playing in the major leagues and several Butte players of note. In this -latter group were Weiser Dell, long a pitcher for Brooklyn Dodgers; Frank Kafora who later went to the White Sox and more recently won the national bowling cha npionship; a couple of fleet young (in 1910) outfielders who latr helped A.

HEAD 0FTHE f7 I 1 I BUTTE OFFSET ANACONDA, Nov, a Bulldog onto a Bronco and the excitement may prove nothing short of spine-shriveling. At least there are hundreds of football fans here who, believing the Bulldog Bronco combination might fashion a fitting climax to a weird Big Six conference gridiron season, are sparring for choice seats to see the Butte Bulldog and the Billings Bronco have it out. The will meet here at Mitchell stadium Thanksgiving day; November 21, for the Montana state high school grid championship. It will be Billings'' third consecutive appearance as a Turkey day title contender and Butte's second in four years.

Billings was successful in both its championship starts in 1938 and 1939, defeating the Great Falls Blue Bi-sons each time. Billings, Butte and Great Falls finished the 1940 Big Six confer Five playj stopped behind the Englewood line caused a loss of it yards; 1 similar loss for the Hubs cost them 1 yard. Englewood fumbled 8 times, recovering none; Hubs fumbled 2 times, recovering both. On 1 kickoff Englewood averaged II yards per boot; Hubs kicked off times for an average of 38 yards. Kickoff re turns gained 40 yards for Englewood.

(JP) Settlement of the state football championship, for which Butte and Billings will contend, may be the least important business of the agenda for some of the coaches of Montana's Big six high school football conference here this week.

The Butte-Billings imbroglio for the title is scheduled at Mitchell Stadium for Thanksgiving afternoon, November 21. All six coaches of the circuit will assemble at a meeting the same day to plot their basketball schedules for the winter season. The sessions probably will be attended by men tors irom other schools, which, with the Big Six members, make-nip the IB-unit basxetDail circuit. 1 Many Items to Be Aired The Big Six leaders, however probably will have some football tangles to unsnarl at a separate meeting. For one thing, it appears probable that the projected double round robin schedule for the Big Six will be discussed and possibly adopted this time.

The six teams Billings, suite, Great Falls, Anaconda Helena and Missoula now play one anptner once each football season and pad out their schedules with games against Montana Class A teams or elevens from outside the state. The double round robin, which the sponsors say would begin in the middle of September and finish about this time of year, would eliminate the annual Thanksgiving day football championship game. The team which won the Big Six title would be the league champion, without flourishes toward a state championship unless it possibly would engage in post-season negotiations with some particularly strong Class A outfit. Such a schedule likewise would mean that annual series like those between Billings and Sheridan, Billings and Casper, Wyo Anaconda and Wallace, Idaho; Great Falls and Everett, and Butte and various Salt Lake City elevens, would be discontinued. Under the proposed double round robin each league member would have to play each of the others twice, making a full schedule of 10 games.

And for most of the teams, 10 games constitutte a full slate. May Enlarge Top Flight Should opposition to the double round robin develop, it, is possible the moguls might declde lavor of adding one or two strong teams which now disport in Class A ranks to the Class AA setup, as the Big Six is more formally known. Kalli-spell, for one, is a perennial strong entry in Class and Miles City for all its lack of 1940 success usually is another. Miles city might not be approved, however, because of the great traveling distances which would be involved. In any event there is bound to be discussion for a new -plan of settling the Big Six gridiron title.

That something should be done was disclosed all too sharply this year, when three teams Butte, Billings and Great Falls wound up in a tie for the first place at the finish of a five-game league schedule. Not even the other three were much content with the present system. They Helena, Missoula and Anacondaended the 1940 campaign in a triple deadlock in the cellar. While the cellar, in some circumstances, might not be such a bad place, all three principals can agree it's no place for a football team.

Fumbling Pass on Closing Play WASHINGTON, NOV, 17. The Washington Redskins, with the aid of Sammy Baugh's punting and Frank FUchock's passing downed the Chicago Bears 7 to 3 today in a hair-raising football thriller. Baugh's long kicks set the Bears back time after time and FUchock's pass to Dick Todd in the second period provided the winning score. The game ended as sensationally as any ever seen at Griffith stadium with Chicago coming within one foot of winning in the final sec onds. There were 25 seconds left in the bitter contest when Bob Snyder of the Bears passed from midfleld to George McAfee on the 12.

McAfee plunged ahead but Todd nailed him one foot from a touendown The Bears called for time out to stop the clock and took a five-yard penalty. With but seconds left, 81d Luck man's pass was batted down by WH lie Wilkin. There, was still time for one more play. With the crowd of pouring onto the field, Luckman faded and shot a pass to Bob Manske in the. end zone but the Bear receiver could not get to it.

The Bears scored a field goal as the first period ended. PACKERS FUMBLED TO GIANTS NEW YORK, Nov. 17. OP) In a game that could Just as -well have ended two minutes after the opening kickoff, the New York Giants shoved over a touchdown almost before the customers were seated today and upset the Green Bay Packers 7 to 3 in a National Profes sional Football league tilt. In fact, the 28,262 fans in the Polo grounds who had to shiver through the tussle probably wished the game had ended as soon as the 'Giants capitalized on a fumble of the opening kickoff and scored the tally that decided the game.

Larry Buhler, the ex-Minnesota ball-carrier, was the particular goat. He bobbled and Leland Shaffer, Giant fullback from Kansas State, grabbed it on the Packers' six. On third down, Len (Feets) Barnum, the New York veteran, passed to Shaffer in the end zone. The Packers' only contribution to the scoring column came with five minutes to go in the final quarter, when Clark Hinkle, the old-reliable from Bucknell, booted a 31-yard field goal. ACE PARKER STEALS SHOW- NEW YORK, Nov.

17. W) Ace Parker, the old Duke University hero, played one of the grandest games of his illustrious career in leading the Brooklyn Dodgers to a 29-14 victory over the Cleveland Rams in a National Professional Football league game at Ebbets field today. The Dodgers were trailing by two touchdowns and looked like they were in for generous hiding when Parker took charge of things Just before the end of the first half. Ace scored the first Brooklyn touchdown on a beautiful 68-yard run after intercepting a pass. He whipped passes to Dodger receivers for the next two and then set up the fourth and final socre with another dazzling 38-yard return of an intercepted pass.

When Parker was injured about three minutes from the game's end helped limping from the field, the fans stood and cheered him out of. sight. WIIIZZER HOT FOR LIONS PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17. Detroit's powerful running attack was too much for the air-minded Philadelpiha Eagles today and the Lions shoved over $hree touchdowns for a 21-to-0 Natipnal Professional Football league victory before a crowd of 6,237 at Shlbe Park.

It was the ninth straight defeat for the luckless Eagles. Led by Byron (Whizzer) White and Lloyd Cardwell, the Lions marched 68 yard? for a touchdown in the first period, 66 yards for another after taking the second half kickoff and capitalized on an Eagle fumble a few minutes later for their last score. On four other occasions "the Lions penetrated deep into Eagle territory but were held for downs, once on -the Philadelphia one. Sammy Baugh is outshining Dave O'Brien in pro football, but the little fellow is said to be getting the bigger salary. Sammy is with Washington, Davey with Philadelphia.

Both hail from Texas Christian. Loss if Film showing as The college sees films of every game. Campus sports circles heard that the college would issue no comment on the pictures. Officials were pictured as feeling that it would be sportsmanlike to remain silent. President Edmund E.

Day, of Cornell, and the Ithacans' Athletic Director Jim Lyman said that if the officials in charge of the game "ruled after investigation that there were five downs in the final series of plays; and that the winning touchdown was made on an illegal fifth down, Hie score of the game will be recorded as Dartmouth 3, Cornell 0." South Siders Barely Miss on Final Play 78Tard Pass Play Carries to 12-Line as Battle Ends Hubs turned two Englewood fumbles into a thrilling 9-7 victory here yesterday to advance against the Anaconda Anodes here next Sunday in the final playoff for the intercity Independent Football league championship. Outgained almost three to one, the wearers of the Keily Green thus avenged two previous losses to the Golden powerhouse from the south side in the league's most spectacular series for 1940. Englewood won their opening clash by 2-0 and two weeks ago punched over a touchdown in the last half minute of play for a 6-0 decision. Anodes, unbeaten in the first half of the split season race, lost by 6-0 to Englewood the second half and then withdrew to give Hubs yesterday's playoff with Englewood to see which goes into next Sunday's finals. A Terrific Battle Two mighty lines, in peak condition, put on a terrific battle for 60 full minutes with little to choose between them.

Englewood set all the pace but tossed away a game they almost won on the very last play. Hubs' only major offensive move of the day had gone 20 yards to reach the Englewood 15-line be fore the ball was lost on downs with less than a minute to go. An extra time out set the south siders back to their 10 line with Vulch rushed into action to pass. Two tosses were grounded and then Pederson outjumped two Hubs men for a pass over center, cut to the south 41de line and appeared off for a winning score but. he slipped several times in the snow shaded by the high school building and was finally cut down at the Hubs' 12 line just as the gun ended the battle.

Pederson had contributed the other major dash for the day in racing 54 yards for a touchdown and 7-3 Englewood lead in the sec ond minute of the third quarter. On that play he slanted off his left tackle, shook two Green tacklers sidestepped another in reversing his field-to cut rlght-to-the-jiorth-jslde line and scampered the last 35 yards through a clear field. Hubs Hold In Pinches Hubs held in several tight spots, In the first three minutes of the game Englewood lacked bare inches of a first down on the Hub 19-line. In the second quarter Englewood was stopped at the Hub 25-line and then blocked a punt to get the ball on the Hub 30. Halloway then scooped up an Englewood fumble and raced 56 yards, missing a touchdown only because he outran his interference and was downed on the Englewood 10 stripe.

Three line bucks failed to gain an inch and Aguetta dropped back to place kick a field goal for a 3-0 Hub lead. Englewood received the ensuing kickoff. Pederson skirted end for 14 and six, Meglen went through center for 18 and a first down on the Hub 22-line, but on the next play D. McCarthy intercepted a pass and Hubs hung onto the ball until halftime. After scoring in the third period, Antafc intercepted a pass and Meglen pushed in for a first down at the Hub 18-line as the quarter ended.

Englewood pushed on to the 12. Needing four yards on last down, Banfield dropped back to try for a place kick, but a bad pass from center gave the Hubs the ball on their 30. Later Otis grabbed an Englewood fumble and rushed it 13 yards to the Englewood 13. One pass was grounded and then Danny McCarthy passed to Murphy for the winning touchdown. Crowley turned in the best Hub gain, for 15 yards.

For Englewood, Pederson had best advances of 54, 21, 18, 14, 13 and 11, Meglen tops of 11 and 18. Englewood (7) Mitchell Hub Hallowaj Andersen Left end Gartner Antag. left tackle Otis Left luard B.

For a second time Jimmy Best, negro slugger of Billings, will be unable to oppose the quiet but ruthless Ray Cote of Butte.

They were matched for the last card here but Best suffered an ankle injury in an auto wreck en route here. Last night Matchmaker Olsen of Billings telephoned Matchmaker Mel Epstein of Butte that BesLwas sick, had a doctor's certificate to the effect and so couldn't come. Chairman Joe L. Markham of the Montana boxing commission therupon ruled that If Best can't fight here tonight he can't fight on any Billings card In the next month. In the meantime Epstein has good boys of, Cote's weight, 152 pounds, con- tacted in Seattle, Portland, Poca-tello and Salt Lake City and will pick the bes' available from the list.

3. Its second successive Soutihwest conference title a historical achieve ment in itself. "4. Its twentieth, successive triumph. On Thursday, Nov.

28, down in Memorial stadium at Austin, the Aggies, perhaps the finest all-around football machine in all southwest history, have Just one roll of the dice for those tremendous stakes. Eighteen years. 'it has been since the Aggies have gone into Austin! for the traditional game of the Southwest, ttie duel with University of Texas, and come away with victory. On form, this giant, near-perfect Aggie machine should stride into Austin a three or four-touchdown favorite over Texas. But no longer than two seasons ago the Aggies marched into Austin doped to manhandle a Texas team that had lost eight straight games.

And what happened? grabbed the ancient Jinx by the hand and stifled the superior cadet team, 7-6, for the season's most stunning upset. And the bow-legged boy? He is Cowboy Jack Crain, one of foot ball most-feared runners who needs only the hint of an opening to run Texas touchdowns from any spot on uie neid.

Hunt Top Scorer So Far on Grid HUNTINGTON, W. Nov. 17. The crowd chants for Hunt for touchdowns, and John Seva (Jackie) Hunt, who has a bent for shedding tacklers, generally appeases them the hard way, by long runs. He has compiled 23 touchdowns for Marshall College in nine games this season for 138 points more than any other college touchdown runner in the land.

Marshall, where Hunt matriculated after turning down some invitations by larger schools, doesn't travel in the fastest, football company but it still notches above the league where the crowd follows the teams along 'the sidelines, and his touchdowns have upset some worthy opponents. The -list includes one touchdown each against B. P. I. and Toledo, two against Moorhead and Wake Forest, four against Scranton, Morris Harvey and Xavier, and five against Detroit Tech.

Not long after the Broncos built the lead to more substantial proportions when Frank Peterson, sub stitute right half, broke away and raced 45 yards to the goal.

St. Mary's opened in impressive fashion, scoring a touchdown mid way of the first quarter on a pass good for 50 yards. Santa Clara knotted the count at 7-7 Just before the second period ended.
