7, 1939, long will be re membered in Western conference football as an aft- ernoon of unprecedented sweep by outside elevens through the ranks of what generally is credited with being the strongest college athletic organization in the nation. Two of the fa- -vorites for the conference championship, Minnesota, defending title holder, and Northwestern, went down before rivals from the Big Six, and Wisconsin, figured a strong contender, fell before Texas, 17 to 7. Oklahoma, Big Six champion, outclassed the Wildcats, 23 to 0, and the Gophers were beaten by Nebraska, 6 to 0. BY WILFRID SMITH. (Picture on Page 3, Sports.)

I Chicago Tribune Press Service. Cincinnati, Oct. 7. Paul Derringer, a sort of heroic figure because of pitching achievements which helped the Reds gain a pennant, and still a standout workman, despite his 2 to 1 loss in the opener of the current world series, is all that remains between the domineering Yankees and another clean sweep of the fall baseball event by the American league entry. He will be opposed in tomorrow's game by Oral Hildebrand.

Derringer, probably the best of all National league pitchers when it ame to a question of dimming the all-around brilliance of the New Yorkers, didn't tumble in the first game. He hung on gallantly, finally losing the decision only because of the hitting incompetency of his mates. The next afternoon the Yankees slapped down Bucky Walters, the Red's other big winner of the season. They slapped him in one inning and then coasted. Today, when the series was resumed here, the Yankees turned cn their real power.

Before that power the 22 year old Gene Thompson was rolled down the trail like a dried maple leaf in the path of an autumnal wind, the Yankees winning by 7 to 3. It's an Old Yankee Custom. The youthful Thompson was sent into exile by a home run barrage such as only the Yankees can turn loose. A homer with one on jolted him for two runs in the first inning. Another in the third, also with a man on base, jolted him again and this blast was the answer to a challenge 1he Reds had issued by going into 1he lead in the second inning against Bump Hadley, who had taken over 1 he burden Vernon Gomez was forced to drop as the result of an old hip injury.

To make the rout complete, the slugging world champions added a pair of circuit blasts in the fifth, Wildcats their most decisive licking in 15 years yesterday afternoon. Fcrty-five thousand, largest crowd ever to watch an opening Northwestern game, saw the Sooners win, 23 to 0. Oklahoma scored twice after North western errors, fumbles by Red Hahn-enstein, and again by interception of a Wildcat pass. To these touchdowns was added a first period field goal. Northwestern gave aid at nearly every opportunity to the boys from the southwest who were carrying the pif few torch for Big Six football and for their coach, who once served seven years as assistant at Oklahoma had pointed for this game.

An Oklahoma pass combination goes to work early in the first i in Dyche stadium. Bob Seymour tosses to Orville Mathews for size-1 held a 9 to 0 advantage at the end of the first half and went on to quarter of yesterday's surprising 23 to 0 triumph over the Wildcats able gain. Oklahoma, which took advantage of Northwestern errors, score twice in the second half. I TRIBUNE Photo. and this was the end of Mr.

Mistakes Hurt Purple. Northwestern's mistakes helped pile up the count, and the players and spectators lost their zest for the battle when it became apparent that the Sooners could not be overtaken.

But it is doubtful that the WUdcats could have won even if they had performed errorlessly. The Wildcat line, although not badly outplayed, was overpowered when only a crashing defense could stop touchdowns. More important, oni attack Northwestern's line failed to handle its heavier opponents consistently, and its best chance ended in failure after a first down on Oklahoma's 3 yard line in the final periodj With all their mistakes of omission and commission, however, the Wildcats showed by their intermittent flashes of passing and occasional sweeping runs that potentially they; Nebraska Is Victor Over Minnesota, 6-0 Texas Breaks Loose; Beats Badgers, 17-7 man, in the of prize gunner.

Hank Leiber's home run bat, futile timber in the city series until two were out in the ninth in yesterday's fourth game, swished into action dramatically. With the Cubs behind, 3-2, two mates on base, and one out to go, Hank smacked one of Jack Knott's pitches high into the bleachers, scoring three runs for a 5 to 3 final score to give the Cubs three victories against one by the Sox.
