U.R The Huskies growled fu riously In rain of cloudburst propor tions and outplayed Pop Warner's Cardinals eleven in a scoreless tie Saturday. Good, football was almost Impossible after the first period, even as Notre Dame and Northwestern found it impossible two weeks ago in a similar scoreless tie at Soldier field In Chicago. The entire Washington line smeared the Cardinal attack. Warner's tricky reverses, that require double and triple handling and perfect timing were ineffectual on the slippery turf. Captain Harry Hlllman, Cardinal fullback, Right Tackle Charles Ehr-horn and "Dusty" Allen rose to defensive heights when a Washington score seemed Imminent.

UNDER 46 TO 0 SCORE Denver, Oct. 23. (JP) Utah and Denver universities played football Saturday, but it wasn't a contest. Fred Tedesco, Utah quarterback, rari the opening klckoff back 93 yards fcf a touchdown, and the Rocky Mountain conference champions continued on to a 46 to 0 victory. Utah excelled in every department of the game blocking, tackling, charging, passing and line smashing, and might easily have run up a dozen touchdowns had not Coach Ike Armstrong decided to let his entire squad Into action.

It was the Utes second straight conference victory, and It clearly demonstrated that nothing short of a miracle can stop the Crimson from parading through an outclassed field to a fourth regional title in as many seasons.

COLORADO AGS DRUB UNIVERSITY, 19 10 6 Fort Collins, Oct.

24. (JP) A highly polished Colorado Aggie team which was not to be denied, turned back the favored University of Colorado eleven Saturday and presented a huge home-coming crowd with a 19-ts-G victory in a game replete with thrilb. A young man lh the Aggie back-field with the paradoxical name of White ran and passed practically unmolested all over Colorado field. He was easily the star of the show. The passing combinations of White to Morris, White to Wilson and White to McDonald were invincible.

The Aggies scored in the first period before the crowd was settled In their seats. A second counter was added in the second quarter and the Tinal touchdown in the last period. Sheridan Defeats Casper by 25 to 6 Casper, Oct. 24. (jf) The Sheridan Broncs lassoed the Casper Mustangs and corraled a 25 to 6 victory here Saturday afternoon.

Casper resorted to the air after the Mustangs realized they were being outplayed in the first quarter.

Wilson, Negro Bronc back, opened the game with an 80-yard run for a touchdown. Carpenter carried the ball for touchdowns in the second and third period and Jeff Doyle, whose brilliant attacks were features of the game, scored the fourth goal in the last period.

24. CP The Chicago Maroons, coached by football's "grand old man," Amos Alonzo Stagg, were defeated, 32 to 6, by the University cf Indiana Saturday. Indian's victory was the first it bad scored over Chicago since 1910. NEBRASKA BEATS this was Pepper Martin's chance to pay off. but be refused to make the kill: not for any hidden motive, either, but merely because he was a sportsman.

Strictly a lighter, be loved to puncn with the best punchers of a rugged lot of contemporaries, and be owed no customer anything when he waned off suddenly, all punched up. Then be died of pneumonia. Possibly, now that this new Pepper Martin has turned author, as was inevitable, bis manager will take out a copyright on the name. It seems the thing to do nawadays. I have been favored with a letter from a correspondent whose passion for fair play with regard to Martin momentarily amounts to hysteria.

He wants Justice for Pepper Martin and nothing short of an essay depicting him as fit to step into an operating room will make amends. Speaking of Injustice, How About This? But hi all the time I' have been writing sport I have never had a letter from this cr any other lover of fair play complaining against a discrimination which constitutes the crudest wrong In all sport. That la the unwritten but Inviolable proscription against Negroes in organized baseball. It Is no explanation to say that organized baseball Is a white man's game, for there have been a number of great Indian players, and I have no doubt that if a great Japanese or Chinese player should come along, he would be welcomed. Nor is it true that there have been no Negroes could make the grade.

There have been many colored men. Rube Foster being the greatest, who could have been great stars and who knew quite well why they never got a chance. It Is net uncommon to see Negroes on college football teams. On the train bac to New York from Philadelphia after the eastern operations of the world series had closed there. I renewed old acquaintance with a huge man v.lth a deep complexion who had been all-American in football at Harvard many years ago.

William H. Lewis had dined with Roosevelt in the White house, but If he had wished to play In the great national game he would have been barred with no explanation not that he would have needed any. The colored man is not forbidden to spend his money at the ballyards, even in the south, and considering how many distinguished athletes his raoe has contributed to football, basketball, and the track sports, the prejudice against him in baseball Is hard to reconcile with the proud title of the national game. He, through his farebears, has been an American for more generations than many of the Caucasians who make up the league teams. It cannot be reasonably argued that the Negro is likely to engage in conduct detrlmen tal to the best Interests of the sport.

There are no colored men on Al Ca- pone's staff, and Legs Diamond Is distinctly white. Never Any Letters About This Discrimination. This barrier against a large element of the population in a game purporting to be the national game and a high expression of the national sporting spirit has never had any logical or practical Justification. But the champion chasing and Indignant letter-writing type of sportsman, with his great passion for fair play in trivial matters, has never taken his pen in hand to wonder why white college boys can dress and compete and associate with great colored athletes without embarrassment, whereas professional ball playerB must be protected by a regulation which the magnates haven't the gaU to put on paper.

24. (Special) Harlowton's maroon and gold eleven upset the dope bucket Saturday to defeat Roundup high, 9 to 6. The game was fast and exciting throughout.

Aside from the first quarter, during which the Wyoming eleven forced the ball into Aggie territory and held it there for virtually the entire period, the Cowboys were no threat to the conference leaders.
