Sees Threat to Control Speech Congress Will Be Asked to Repeal Power of President in Radio SOUTH BEND. Nov. 13 tr Former Congressman Samuel B. Pettingill of Indiana said last night the new code of the National Association of Broadcasters constitutes a threat to free speech and expressed; the belief it was adopted because of "hidden pressure of the threat or fear of it." "No law authorized their action, no constitution sanctioned it, no election ratified it," he said. "They did what congress itself does not have the power to do.

The lords of the air decided that they would decide what you shall hear. "There is good reason to believe that the association adopted this code either under hidden pressure or the threat or fear of it." he said. "The effort to control radio has been going on for a long time." He said congress will be as-ked at its next session to repeal the power of the president over the radio "except under emergency of actual war." and that broadcasters' licenses be granted for a period of three yean now one year) and that the power of the commission to suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew licenses, except for offenses which the constitution expressly forbids, be ended.

DOWNEY OPPOSES RECALL MOVEMENT DOS ANGELES. Nov.

13 IP1 Sen. Sheridan Downey opposed a recall against Gov. Culbert Olson today and called upon California to re main in the leadership of the old age pension movement. "The congress of the united states is steadily deepening its sympathy for the pension Cause." Senator Downey, an ardent pension support er, said in a radio aaaress. He urged the defeated ham and eggs plan followers-not to attempt to recall Governor Olson because it would throw the people "in a passionate struggle, with nothing to gain for the pension cause, and everything to lose." "From New England to Florida, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, there is a great mass movement looking to the solution of our pension problems, and I trust the state of California which birthed this cause should fail to support it in its hour of possibly victory." GRAND ISLAND MAYOR IN RACE FOR JUDGE LINCOLN, Nov.

Columbus 0, York 0. Columbus 0, Albion 19. Columbus 6. Grand Island 20. Columbus 19, David City 0.

Columbus 7, Fremont 0. Columbus 18, Kearney 20. Columbus Discoverers, who take to the road for a couple of football dates before ringing down the 1939 curtain, make their next to last stop this week at Havelock where they have a tough assignment with the Engineers. The contest will be a daylight affair and will be the first of the season, for the Maroon and White. Havelock has a good ball team this year.

The eleven has dropped but a single game and that was to Creighton Prep. Engineers played a tie with Auburn a couple of weeks ago and have won five games. Just to keep in shape for the Discoverers the Havelock club polished off Bethany, 32 to 0. David City beat Bethany, 12-0, and Columbus beat David City. 19 to 0.

Comparing the scores the Engineers would be about a point better than Columbus. Havelock has a good-sized team with plenty of weight. The line is plenty strong and the backfield is powerful. Good Backs Sandy Nelson, Red McClure and Les Woodrum are the backs who have been stacking up the yardage for the Engineers. Nelson ha speed while Woodrum does most of the line smashing.

In the line Chick Story, Vivian Bullock and Bill Harmon are the standouts. Havelock has shown a weakness on pass defense in several games this year and it may be that the Discoverers may strike through the air. If the Discoverers expect to beat the Shoptown eleven -they will have to play better ball than they did against Kearney. The Maroons played a loose game with the Bobcats and tossed away a game which they could have won. Coach Marvin Paul's boys scored three times but that wasn't enough.

Breaks Decide Game Kearney took in several breaks and won the ball game, 20 to 18. The Bobcats returned the opening kick-off for a score and in the third quarter intercepted a lateral and scored. Those two touchdowns just about wrecked the Maroons. Columbus boys put up a great battle in the final four minutes and scored twice but missed both extra-points. Maroons were out after their third straight win and they wanted a victory so badly that they were over- anxious.

This caused the usually safe-playing Columbus team to play a somewhat reckless'game and as a result the outcome favored the visiting team. Kearney-Columbus fracas was a wild one with all sorts of plays. The long runs thrilled the fans who left the park after seeing all kinds of football. The Columbus boys came out of the game in fine physical shape. There weren't any serious injuries.

A bad knee kept Duain Warner from the game for several minutes. The sophomore fullback was hurt in the Fremont game. Today's Sports Parade By HENRY McLEMORE NEW YORK. Nov. 13 HP Mon-day's grid-irony: In leading Missouri to a 20 to 7 victory over.

Football Footnotes By STEVE SNIDER CHICAGO, Nov. 13 There's a new menace in the Big Ten today Iowa's amazing little band of iron men, who drove mighty Notre Dame from the list of the nation's unde feated, untied elevens.

The question now is: How long can they hold out using only a handful of players a week? It may be answered Saturday when Minnesota, definitely on the upgrade as it routed Michigan, 20 to 7, invades Iowa City. One more defeat for the stubborn Hawkeyes will leave Ohio State almost clear sail ing to the conference championship. Rolling up its fourth victory of the Big Ten season against Chicago, 61 to 0, Ohio State runs into that tough Illinois defense this week, while Purdue is playing Wisconsin in the only other league game. Northwestern, eliminated from championship contention along with Michigan, plays at Notre Dame, Michigan invades Pennsylvania, In diana plays at Michigan State and Oberlin tackles Chicago on the midway. Ready for Another Test Iowa must retain the razor sharp less that produced victory over Notre Dame to down Minnesota Physically, the Hawks apparently are ready for another severe test.

Dr. Eddie Anderson employed only 14 men against Purdue and 15 against the Irish but scattered bumps and bruises are about the only marks on the scrappy little squad. Counted out of the race before it started, Iowa upset Indiana, 32 to 29. lost to Michigan, then defeated Wisconsin and Purdue for its best Big Ten season in a decade. Climaxing this unexpected record was Saturday's upset for the Irish, who had won six in a row and were being hailed as the best Notre Dame team since Rockne.

A fumble on his own four yard line toy Quarterback Steve Sitko led to the Iowa touchdown by Nile Kinnick 'and when Lou Zontini fail ed to match Kinnick's point after touchdown the Irish fell, 7 to 6.

13 IP Mrs. J. C. Cook is not boasting when she says: "I'm glad I'm still young enough to enjoy the things my grandchildren like to do." Twice a grandmother at the age of 34, she claims to be the youngest woman to attain that dignity in this city and possibly in the state. Instrumental in her honor is her eldest daughter, Florence, born July 24, 1921, now Mrs.

R. E. Fleshman and the mother of two children. Both Mrs. Cook and her daughter, each married at 15, were the same age to- a day 16 one month and eight days when their first babies were born.

'Mrs. Cook, who was mentioned for the Carnegie bravery medal at the age of 13 for her rescue of two persons from drowning in the Loup river, said that honor was nothing compared to "one of the biggest thrills that ever came to a woman, being a grandmother."

Seem to Lack Scoring Punch in Jayhawk Game; Rohrig Is Sparkplug By RAYMOND LAHR LINCOLN, Nov. 13IP That pre season question mark which once seemed to have faded from the Ne braska footoall squad reappeared to day in the home stretch of the 1939 season.

The Huskers unimpressive 7-0 vie tory of Kansas Saturday on the heels of the defeat at Missouri set the to wondering. Is the team in a slumn: was it overrated as a result of its victories! over Minnesota, Baylor and Kansas State: or was it holding back with thoughts on the Pittsburgh and Oklahoma games yet to be played? Huskers Dominate Plan Despite a deficit on the statistical balance sheet, Nebraska dominated the play Saturday. However, it lacked the scoring punch, except in one touchdown drive, to push the fighting Jayhawk underdogs back to the end zone. Herm Rohrig supplied the spark for the winning score in the second period. He touched off the march by returning a punt 33 yards and alternated with Henry Rohn to push the Kansas defenders back 24 yards in four plays to the eight yard line.

From there Rohrig smacked his right tackle for the touchdown and then kicked the extra point. The Jayhawks completed 11 passes in 19 attempts and threatened only when their overhead attack clicked. They reached the Nebraska 22 in the first period after recovering a fumble and completing a pass but remained on the defensive for the rest -of the game except for threats in the final period when they completed two passes, each for gains of more than 40 yards. Meet Pitt Saturday The Cornhuskers wind up their season in the next two weeks against two of the most formidable foes on their schedule. They leave for Pittsburgh Wednesday to meet Pitt's "de-emphasized" team, which has won five and lost two this year.

The following weeks they play Oklahoma, seeking a victory which would give them a share of the Big Six title if the still-undefeated Soon-ers hurdle Missouri next Saturday. Pitt playrs host to Nebraska with a record which includes victories over the University of Washington, West Virginia. Duke, Temple and Carneeie Tech and losses to Du- quesne and Fordham. In 14 games since 1921, Nebraska has defeated Pittsburgh only once and has gained three ties. Redskins Tip Dodgers, 42-0 NEW YORK, Nov.

13 UV-Professional football's spotlight focused today on the Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears, who came through Sunday's games with new offensive laurels. With a devastating attack which shocked a throng of 28.541, the Redskins overwhelmed the Brooklyn Dodeers at Ebbets Field. 42-0, and maintained their deadlock with the champion New York oiants tor me eastern division leadership in the National Football league. It was the most crushing defeat any team has administered to another in the circuit this season. The Chicago Bears clung to their championship hopes by knocking off the Detroit Lions before 42,684 at Briggs stadium, 23 to 13, and tied the league record for the most points scored by one team in an 11-game schedule.

Oklahoma at Columbia. Iowa State vs. Kansas State at Ames. Kansas vs. George Washington at Lawrence.

Nebraska vs. Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh. By CARL LUNDQUIST KANSAS CITY. Nov. 13 Oklahoma's chances for an unbeaten season and a second straight Big Six conference football championship depended today upon how well they can stop the forward pass artistry of Missouri's Paul Christman.

Saturday in the "game of the year for the conference, Missouri and Oklahoma clash at Columbia. But even at the finish there will be considerable doubt whether either can lay full claim to the league title. It is likely the race will not be decided until the final Saturday of the lahoma visits Nebraska which still cannot be counted out. and' Missouri goes to Kansas for what looks like an easy assignment, but what in the past has proved often to be impossible to win. Drills on Christman Meanwhile, Coach Tom Stidham at Oklahoma made every tackling dummy a leering, jeering Paul Christman.

He prepared- to spend long hours drilling the squad on pass defense, the department in which it has been notably weak all season. Although Oklahoma's line is not puncture-proof as was. demon strated by Kansas State through more than three periods of last Saturday's game, it is not Missouri running plays that Stidham fears. It is Christman. Christman, considered by many sports writers the best passer of the year, has improved with every game.

Last Saturday, in the 20 to 7 upset victory for Missouri over New York University, he was never better. Combining good broken field running with his passing, he gained a total of 203 yards. He completed 12 passes out of 25 for 146 yards and made 57 more in 13 rushes for a 4.4 yard average per try. He scored two of the Tiger touchdowns and passed for the third. To complete the show he intercepted three passes.

Oklahoma has some of the finest ends at tackles in the conference. The burden will fall upon them. and. if they can stop the pitching Christ-man, the greater reserve strongth, and the power and experience of the rugged Sooners, probably will be the deciding factors. Hujkers-Pitt Even Bet Nebraska, once mightiest of the Big Six teams, used to win with ease in its own conference, but failed whent it went out against Minnesota and Pittsburgh.

This year, the Cornhuskers have had to step behind in their own circuit, but have an opportunity to come out with a perfect record against their traditional intersectional foes. They won from Minnesota, 8 to 0, and stand as almost an even bet to conquer Pittsburgh next Saturday at Pitt Although the Huskers had more trouble than they expected- in winning from a game Kansas eleven, they turned on the power when they needed it to come out 7 to 0 victors. Kansas State, the hard luck team of the year, which has lost three conference tilts, despite some of the finest football that has been seen in the Missouri Valley, probably will find an easier road to travel against Iowa State at Ames. The Iowa State eleven, light and green, took another pounding Satur day, losing 21 to 2 to Marquette. Kansas State, at the same time, was giving Oklahoma its hardest game of the year, and probably will be in a mood to pummel whatever team comes next.

Kansas has an intersectional com bat with George Washington of Washington, D. at Lawrence. Phoenix Air-Conditioned PHOENIX. Ariz.

Nov. 13 UP) Have the band play Dixie, because the south, with four of the nation's seven undefeated maor teams, dominates college football today as the 1939 season goes into the home stretch. Tennessee, Tulane, Texas A. and and North Carolina offer records unmarred by defeat and there can be no doubt that they are four of the strongest teams in the country. The other members of the "lucky seven are Cornell, pride cf the east; Oklahoma, a real threat in the midwest, and Southern California, which, ai- naost has the Rose.

Bowl sewed up in a bag. Their ranking, based on informa tion from impartial persons in all sections, should be about as follows: 1. Tennessee; 2. Texas Aggies; 3. Southern California; 4.

Oklahoma; 5, Tulane; 6. North Carolina; 7. Cornell Two Fall From Top Two teams Notre Dame and Dartmouth fell out of the race of the un beaten last week-end. The law of averages caught up with a Notre Dame team that has been winning games by razor-thin margins, and the Irish fell before Iowa, 7 to 6. Dartmouth caught and inspired Princeton team and was defeated, 9 to 7.

Two good little fellows, whose schedules hardly justify including them with the major undefeated teams, went marching along. Georgetown defeated Maryland, 20 to 0, to keep its season record clean of defeat and Duquesne. also unbeaten. won from North Carolina State, 7 to 0. There is a stern test ahead for every one of the major unbeaten teams except Southern California, which has an off day this Saturday.

Cornell must play a Dartmouth team that will be smarting from the de feat by Princeton; Oklahoma takes on Missouri, a slick outfit that proved it could run as well as pass: Tennessee tackles Vanderbilt; Tulane plays Columbia, North Carolina encounters Duke and the Texas Aggies play Rice. Cards Stacked for Ags It is a month too soon to be talking about a national champion, but the cards seem to be stacked in favor of Texas A. Sc M. It has the easiest remaining schedule of any of the first three Tennessee, Texas A. and Southern California.

The Aggies need to get by only Rice and Texas. Tennessee must defeat Vanderbilt and Auburn. Southern California has the steepest path of all Notre Dame, Washington and UCLA. Some of the highlights: Upset of the Day Purdue's 3 to 0 victory over a highly favored Northwestern team. Player of the Day Paul Christ-man of Missouri, who put Joe McCarthy's pitchers to shame the way he threw the ball in the Yankee stadium against New York university.

He was involved in every one of Missouri's scoring plays and almost single-handed won the game, 20 to 7. He scored two touchdowns on running plays, threw a pass for the other touchdown and held the ball on conversions. Game of the Week This Saturday Duke vs. North Carolina at Durham, N. C.
