Illinois won against Depaul and Washington university; of St. Louis and then was soundly trimmed by Southern Cal'for-. nia. Saturday the Illini played Iowa to a scoreless tie and when, Northwestern's 18 to 7 victory over the Hawkeyes is recalled, the Wildcats look much too powerful for Illinois Saturday.

mini Has Stout Defense But Illinois which took a light drill yesterday, has improved Showing little on offense. Zuppke's eleven has developed a stubborn defense built both around starters and a capable lot of reserves.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 20 Carl Owen Hubbell, the lanky left bander who hails from Meeker, but does his pitching for the New York Giants, today brought New York a monopoly on baseball's "most valuable player" award for 1936 to follow up the "subway" world series.

Hubbell was unanimously chosen as the most valuable player in the National league. Lou Gehrig, iron man first baseman of the Yankees, was named the Ameri- can league's most valuable performer last week. At the same time the southpaw "screw ball" ace, hailed during the as the Giants' "one man pitching staff," became the second player in National league history to win the award twice. In 1933. when the Giants also won the pennant largely because of Hubbsll's flinging, "King Carl" was named as the most valuable player.

Roger Hornsby, now manager of the St. Louis Browns, received the award, when it was made by the league, on two occasions. He was named in 1925 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, and in 1929 with the Chicago Cub-. The 33-year-old Hubbell had only one serious rival in the voting, by a committee representing the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

That was Jerome Herman "Dizzy" Dean of the Cardinals, the only other pitcher ever to take the award. Hubbell was the unanimous first choice of the six writers who cast their votes while Dean was named second five times and third once. Two members of ths committee of eight made no selections. Counting on the basis of 10 points for a first-place vote, nine for second, Hubbell received 60 points and Dean 53. Third place in the voting went to Billy Herman of the Cubs with fourth to Joe Medwick of the Cards with 30, fifth to Paul Wa- ner of Pittsburgh with 29, and sixth to Mel Ott of the.

Giants with 28. The voting followed closely the performances of the players as shown in the season's pitching and tatting records. Hubbell, although he took a drubbing from the Yankees on his second world, series appearance, chalked up 26 victories against 6 defeats for .813 average, winning 16 in succession. Dean, who appeared in 51 games, wen 24 and lost 13.

At South Bend, Notre Dame drilled on fundamentals. Coach Elmer Layden pointing out mistakes he hoped would not be made next Saturday against Pittsburgh. The "blues" prevailed at Iowa, where Coach Ossie Solem put his Hawkeyes through a skull session. There was a spirit of dejection noticeable as a result of the scoreless tie with Illinois. The Hawks' chances for a Big Ten victory appear dim as they must face Indiana, Minne- sota and Purdue after Saturday's open date.

PURCHASE YOUR TIRES ON OTJR TERM PAYMENT PLAN Fearing a caravan would reach from Massillon to Alliance and wouid i delay the tail-enders from getting to the game in time for the kickoff, the! Booster club adopted an "every man for himself" policy for Friday night's invasion of Alliance. The club had talked of having all autos assemble at a given point and parade to Alliance, but due to the intense interest in the game which will attract two or three thousand Massil-1 Ion fans on a good evening, it wasj feared that organization of a caravan would so congest the highway that many would be late in arriving for I the game. Accordingly it will be every man for i himself Friday evening, and you can I bet that cars will be roaring up Lin: coin Way, E. hill at all hours.

Game Attracting Great Interest Not since 1932 has a MassiUon- Alliance game attracted so much at! tention. That year a light Massillon team, outweighed 15 pounds to the i man went to Alliance with an unde- fcated record and took a 30-6 trim- 1 ming before a capacity crowd. A terrific jam took place at the gates that night when the Alliance management failed to anticipate such, a crowd. There will be no such con- i gestion this year. All gates will be open, 12 of them, and fans will be received as rapidly as they arrive.

Tickets for the game are now on sale at Rider's. The Alliance management has given Massillon a block of seats between the 40-yard lines on the east side of the field. Coach Brown told the Booster club last night that he expects a hard game at Alliance Friday and that Alliance has the heaviest team Massillon will face all season. Brown will speak this evening at a i dinner meeting of the Brotherhood of Faith Lutheran church. Glass Leads Scoring Bob Glass took over the leadership in the N.

Massillon ball carriers are not mak-! ing a fight out of it, however, for is no singular honor to lead the league in scoring.

Gridiron enemies who, during the last few years left not a stone upon a stone in their assaults upon Southern California's football temple, are discovering the Trojan's are tough again.

Coach Howard Jones hasn't quite restored the football structure to what it was three or four years ago, but a grand start has been made. You'll know more about this when you read the scores of the U. S. C-Stanford feame Oct. 24.

and the U. S. tussle two weeks later. Jones Has His Man Led by Dave Davis, a quarterback of the Warburton type, the Trojans easily defeated their first two Pacific conference rivals, Oregon and Oregon State, and came east to administer a sound football lesson to University of Illinois, running up around 100 points in the first three games. Davis seems to be the quarterback the Jones system demands, a system which makes the halfbacks Mockers for a speedy quarterback.

Understudies to Davis are Ambrose Schindler of San Diego and Orville Mathews of Oklahoma, Davis is an elusive 165-pounder, Mathews is a trifle lighter, and while Schindler packs 175 pounds lugs it around like' lightning. Splendid replacements for nearly every position came up this year from the freshman squad of 1935, but many of the seniors have come to life under stress of competition and are playing unbeatable football. In the Illinois game, Gene jHibbs was smothering the enemy punter before he could pull back his foot. With Hibbs at left end and Chuck Williams at the opposite flank, the team has two experienced and capable footballers. With Davis' slingshot arm and Hibbs' capacity for pulling in passes, the machine is a scoring threat from any point inside the 50-yard stripe.

Soph Backs In Profusion There are no fewer than a dozen sophomore backs crying for regular places on the team. Jimmy Jones has looked fine in every appearance this year. Newcomers Cove Dunn. Lyman Russell, Boyd Morgan and Ralph DAVE. DA VIS Quarterback O'Dell add to the threat of returning Trojan power.

Dunn and Russell, especially, have shown battering ability. Dunn is a 195- pounder and Russell tops him by about three pounds. Angelo Pec- cianti and Don Keller can take any backfield position to which they are assigned. In the Illinois game Coach Jones started Beatty and Duboski at the halves. There are so many backs of ability that the team could play four full games in an afternoon without exhausting its backfield reserves.

The backs are operating behind a hard-charging line remi- niscent of the harassing' herds of other days. Captain Gilbert Kuhn in center, and he may be one of the All-American linemen this year from the Pacific. Kuhn is an iron horse in there, with tremendous energy, a tiger on offense. Guards and tackles are plenti- ful and good. Trojan tackles have been only fair since the days of Ernie Smith and Ray Brown, but in Don McNeil and Ray George the team has two men of the big, aggressive type.

Seiko and Norton also are fine tackles. This Week's Games FRIDAY ton at SnlPiii at TSVJlsville. SAT1-HI 'AY at Parlii-i'ton at Akron Central. Last Week's Scores Allinnee 27.

Zeh, Western Reserve's sturdy fullback who led the nation's football scorers a year ago with 112 points, is on his way back to the peak again.

Even if he doesn't gain the heights he scaled in 1935, he will be more valuable than he was a year ago, his coach said today. "Big Bill" Edwards, former Wittenberg star and now coach of the unbeaten Red Cats, gives Zeh much of the credit for the sterling showing of his team. The Cats have won five in a row. Zeh is tied for second place in the scoring race with 33 points in five games, but his forward passes have accounted for twice that many points. The Red Cats have chased 23 touchdowns "across the last white line this season, and more than half have been on aerials by Zeh.

Got Away To Slow Start The 1935 champ got away to a slow start, scoring but 14 poin's in his rst three games, but he banged tack with 14 against Akron last week, and eight against Baldwin-Wallace Saturday, to land in the runner-up berth, tied with Magee of Marietta. Norman Schoen of Baldwin-Wallace is on top with 49 points in four contests, 13 ahead of the field. The husky Yellow Jacket halfback hasn't been halted yet, scorine; an average of two touchdowns per game. In the matter of touchdowns Schoen is four up" onfZeh, who has boosted h's total through a dozen po nts after touchdown. Last year Schoen counted 63 points, scoring at least one touchdown in every, game until the Yellow Jackets ran into Akron in the season's finale.

Zeh's mark of 12 points after touchdown is challenged only by. Haerr of Baldwin-Wallace, who has booted nine. Last year Zeh had a total of 32 extra points, along with 15 to show for season's work. Not a field 1 goal has been kicked by or against an Ohio college this fall. Thirty-two gridders have more than two touchdowns to their credit, while more than three dozen have stopped on the 12 mark.

In the second 10 the opposition for nil but Southern Methodist, 19th on the list with 26 points, is just about as tough. The Mustangs have 'an open date Saturday. Kabealo held down left half, Johnny Bettridge was his running mate, and Ji McDonald acted as fullback in the long workout. Pete Gales, tackle injured against Northwestern Saturday, is unlikely to see service against Indiana this week.
