THAT IS THE QUESTION WASHINGTON, sport scribes accused Bill Wallace, Rica halfback, of being "chest because he thumbed his nose ai pursuing George Washington players after a long touchdown run last Siturday. Lloyd Gregory, Houston Post columnist, contends that Wallace is "as modest an athlete as you will find anywhere" for Wallace! vest-buttons, will be relieved to Wtra lhat the Owl'e all-America halfback Ii ai modest an athlete ai yea wttl find anywhere. And Austin fans, too, may have received the wrong impression. They do not wish to do an injustice. They rether choos to wrong all the athletes and coaches who have brought them these fine stories than to wrong one modest man.

After all, what difference does it make if an all-American a bit chesty? It is just that we have been confused and disillusioned. It is a matter which needs fuller explanation from the proper sources, which no doubt would be forthcoming on inquiry. are wise and honourable, And will, no doubt, with reasons answer remarkable the fact that (according to Gregory) Wallace is a modest man, A hint of the Eagle Lake flash's modesty was given at the S.M.U.-Rice game, when he trotted in front of the S.M.U. stands after removal from the battle. To the howling Methodist in the bleachers, Wallace lifted his arms majestically in the gladiator's handshake.

Tie was not quite human enough that day to thumb his nose at the assembled spectators. Just a big bashful country boy having fun in the city! When Wallace was in summer school here this summer, a U.T. coach asked him if he wasn't afraid other teams would be hying for him this fall. "They can't hurt me," responded Wallace modestly, "Became they can't catch me. Some of the homefolk at Eagle Lake, who have voiced fears Gregory has told you Wallace is modest; he chronicles that fact under the heading: "Why Bill Wallace Thumbed Hit Nose at George Washington Players" And Gregory is an honorable man.

So are the Rice players and fans all, all honorable men. Gregory says Wallace is only human that there are times when the best of us cannot refrain from placing a thumb to the nose and wiggling fingers in time-honored manner. Wallace does this only after the George Washington players have insulted him by calling him "all-American." For Wallace is a modest man. Citizens who saw Wallace carry the mail against the Texas Longhorns here recently are of the unanimous opinion hat if he wants to buy a bigger hat, it is all right. It is permissible to be chesty if you are good enough which makes all the more By MARC ANTONY (Or as Marc would have written it, anyway) pRIENDS, Romans, fellow football fans, lend me your ears; I come to discuss the sire of Bill Wallace's hat.

(UP) A Key is a Key is a Key is Key and Dean Earl Miller of the University of California at lo Angeles was just about ready to conclude today that all the world's a Key and every Key is or has been a football player. The puzzled dean came here to learn if the football player named Key now enrolled at U.C.LA, is R. F.

Key of AmariUo, the RH in whose names stands for Russell, gave the dean an affidavit that Clois Francis Key is his cousin and not his brother. Earl (Ox) Key, former Southern Methodist university football player came here from Dallas to give the dean an affidavit that there are two R.

and Cousin R. F. probably attended the same high schools, making the task even more difficult than ever to check their high school credit records. Dean Miller's pockets bulged with affidavits. "This is the worst muddle I ever saw," he admitted wearily.

He prepared to interview more people today. If the U.C.L.A. suspended playe, now somewhere In seclusion, could b- found, it might be ascertained if he bears a scar on his back.

He is one of the few on the 1-yard line, and Miller took it over. Notre Dame then gained possession of the precious pigskin on its 46. Pilney ran 5 and 9.

He passed to Ohio State's 8. He plunged for 1. He passed to Layden on the Buckeyes' 1. And then Notre Dame was the victim of a disheartening break. Miller fumbled at the goal line.

"If Andy Pilney will only turn In the kind of game I know he will some day," remarked Elmer Lay-den, whose thoroughness as a tutor put the Old Gold and Light Blue back on the right track, Pilney did, and Notre Dame once more is the mightiest name in football. It was Pilney who packed and passed an ignited band of Irish back to the pinnacle. Before going into details of the spine-tingling stretch drive of the young men from the shores of Lake St.

Mary's, of which the plucky Pilney was the spearhead, it might be said that the 1935 Notre Dame varsity was as underrated as Ohio State was overrated. The highly publicized Buckeyes, who took the field as 2-1 favorites and who practically everybody picked to win by from 18 to 30 points, were guilty of tactical blunders when the jam came and appeared to lack leadership both on the field and bench. Graybeards cannot recall when opposing teams showed such a pronounced reversal of form from one half to the other. BUCKEYES MATCHED IN POWER FOR FIRST TIME Ohio State went to the dressing room at the half with a 13 point margin, and the most ardent Notre Dame rooter feared that the Scarlet and Gray total would be exactly as much as Francis Schmidt's speedy tricksters chose to amass. But Ohio State was being matched in manpower for the first time in two campaigns, and I suspect that Layden starting an entire new line from end to end had some effect upon the erstwhile Scarlet Scourge, the forwards of which had taken keen enjoyment in pushing tiring rivals around in the second half.

And, inspired by Pilney, Notre Dame had not yet begun to fight! It was this "second" Notre Dame team, with Pilney throwing forwards to Gaul and Francis Layden, that sank Navy with two touchdowns In eight minutes In the second quarter. The late Knute Rockne smarted Notre Dams shock troops. Elmer Layden uses them to win and pull games out of the fire. Notre Dame teams are noted for coming from the ruck In the closing minutes, and this one lived up to the finest traditions of the Golden Dome. Although no one suspected it at the moment, Pilney touched off the spark with the last play of the third quarU-r, whn he returned a punt 27 yards to Ohio State's 12.
