SPORT SECTION The South Bend Tribune. SPORT SECTION SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 1925. CARNEGIE TECH SADLY HUMBLED BY NOTRE DAME MISHAWAKA ON ROAD TO HOOSIER PREP GRID TITLE KILTS ARE OUTCLASSED MAROONS GAIN VICTORY OVER BLUE AVALANCHE REGISTER GREATEST VICTORY IN GRID. HISTORY HERE. SMASH ELKHART 54 TO 0 Eight Thousand Frenzied Fans Witness Complete Annihilation of Railroad City Hosts at Ball Band Field.

BY S. E. BOWER. A thunderbolt. ont of grey November skies cleft an avalanche in twain here Saturday afternoon and in passing left a great, livid maroon welt across the proud blue standard of Elkhart High school.

This welt is represented by Mishawaka's 54 to 0 annihilation of Elkhart, before a frenzied crowd of 8,000 football fans thronged Ball Band feld, Mishawaka, yesterday, For Frank M. Steele's Maroons this unthought-of, victory is the greatest and 1 undoubtedly the most significant grid triumph in the history of the local high school. The game was truly a spectacle. It surpassed in spectacular plays, unusual runs and passes, anything seen on a High: school gridiron here in years. And the climax capping the whole affair is the fact that waka proved to be so overwhelmingly superior when Elkhart was conceded to be as powerful offensively and defensively as the Maroons.

This obtained up to and including game time yesterday afternoon- after that it was Mishawaka all the way, in every department of play. A group of atheltes, seven of whom were playing their last regular game of the year, could not have closed a football season in more spectacular EL manner. The credit for the masterfly triumph. goes first to Maroon athletes, who as a unit tore the heavier Elkhart line asunder early in the game, and set the stage for the brilliant acts of Burt Doyle, Capt. Clarence Lindzy, Dean Brady, Don Neff and Walt Brady.

Several 'All State" stars were inaction here Saturday and only a deaf, dumb. and blind man would be handicapped in picking them out. Avalanche is Split. The- Elkhart "avalanche" swept Into action like a full. grown mountain slide in the opening minutes of the game.

Fields and Stoner, halfbacks, ripped across for first downs after terrific line plunges. But then, all at once, the invader's attack was checked by a cool but re(lentless resistence that gained force and momentum with each passing minute of the struggle. Fields. soon obliged to Capt. Lindzy on the latter's 10 yard line, and that gentleman opened the assault by returning the ball to the 21 yard stripe.

Neff and Dean Brady went to first down on two plays, and Brady's neat toss to Lindzy for nine yards, paved the way for another immediately after. Don Neft contributed the punch that netted two more first downs and carried the ball into -Elkhart An exchange of punts and n' series of line rushes. gave the Maroons the ball on the Elkhart 13 yard line. Dean Brady went through Martin, left tackle, for 10 yards, then fumbled, sand Art Roempagel, Maroon guard, recovered for a gain of an extra yard. Dean Brady proceeded to cut off right tackle for the first touchdown of the game, Lindky's drop kick was blocked.

The Maroon forwards were hard at work sapping the strength of the Blue line that was heralded as Impregnable. It -was the savage smashes of the Maroon line from tackle to tackle, the terrifid blocking and superior speed of the ends, that took all the snap out of Coach Boonels (hard-fighting charges and left them a pitifully demoralized handful of athletes. As the first quarter ended with the (ball in Maroon Hands on Elkhart's 45-yard line, Dean Brady twirled a long, beautiful pass to Webeter, left end, which was good for 29 yards. Two plays later, Dean Brady to Lindzy startled the crowd with 16 more yards of choice Elkhart yardage. Walt Brady then shot through hole in the center that was as Wide as the west is wild, for the next of series of eight touchdowns.

Referee Crown called Lindzy's attempted dropkiek wide. From this point on the fans were treated to an exhibition of reckless abandon on the part of Elkhart backs that would put to shame the efforts of the god of chance himself. Miller, fullback, and Gordon Johnson, substitute half, commenced an ineffec- I tual aerial attack that grew in proportion to the score built up by the Maroon backfield. Together these two Elkhart ball players tried 33 passes, only six of which were successful. for a total of 74 yards.

Capt. Lindzy then uncovered some pet formations that have never been seen here before, and with Brady, taking turns, pegged 16 1 passes, seven of which were completed for 208 yards and two touchdowns. In additions the Maroon backs Intercepted seven of the Johnson- Miller brand of aerial heaves, converted three of them into touchdowns, and gained a total of 133 yards to boot. The half ended with the Maroons decidedly superior, the score. being Continued on Page Three Column Three Minor Games.

Rose Poly proved threatening only in the first quarter, when Sweeney Intercepted Tobin's forward pass and ran 73 yards for Rose's only score, and when Taggart was in position for a drop kick but failed. Indiana scored first when Stamats returned Sweeney's punt 45 yards for a touchdown.

0. 8. Patent Ora on) Great Pass Teams. The west offers "Friedman to Osterbaan" as its great pass combination, and the east counters with "Oberlander to Tully." You can start enough arguments to involve half a country as to which is the leading pair. Many westerners claim that Friedman is the finest passer they ever have seen, and that Osterbaan is the king of all receivers.

There is no way of being sure outstanding greatness above all others. Those who saw Oberlander peg the ball 40, 45 and 50 yards as accurately as Johnny Kling ever threw to second find it hard to believe that he has a superior. When Dartmouth completed out of the first 15 passes against Cornell, most of them nearly half the length of the fleld, the exhibition came close to being as fine a thing as any football field ever saw. All-Round Play. No back, not even a Grange, can go big every start.

Yet there is no questioning Grange's greatness. When it comes to all-round football ability it will be a long time before the game shows Oberlander's superior. He has weight, strength and speed to start with. When a 200-pounder can move alertly through a broken fleld he has the basis of stardom. This is about all Oberlander can do-1.

Grange will close his collegiate career next Saturday when the Orange and Blue eleven meets Ohio State at Columbus. But to-day was Gallivan's day. The doughty junior quarterback, piloting a team of second string men himself bore the burden of the Illinois attack and was responsible for much of the consistent gaining. In second quarter Illinois kickers backed Wabash against its own goal and Grable, Illinois tackle, broke through the Wabash line to tackle Parr for a safety.

BOTH TEAMS BATTLE HARD Lewis Paired With Purple Captain are Hard Pair to Stop From Scoring--Forward Passes Figure Big. By Associated Press. LAFAYETTE, Nov. Northwestern university's football team, with Ralph (Moon) Baker, stellar halfback, again in the lineup, advanced its western conference standing to-day by defeating Purdue before a Boilermaker homecoming crowd, 13 to 9. In the closing minute of play the Purple resorted to the same maneuver which it used in the Michigan game to keep from losing the ball a in the shadow of its goal.

With the ball on his own 12-yard line, Baker downed the leather third down behind his goal to give Purdue a safety as the gun cracked. The strategy came after Coach Phelan, of Purdue, had thrust in several suiostitutes and launched a menacing pass attack. To-day's game was the 13th between the two schools, each team having won six! prior to this encounter. The Wildcats came frora behind to win, mainly through. the work of Baker and Lawis, and forged Into the lead in the third quarter after Wilcox, Purdue quarter, had run Baker and Lewis, and forged into touchdown just the first period ended.

Receiving the kickoff at the opening of the second quarter, Northwestern worked the ball down the field 55 yards with off tacklo slashes by its two aces. Lewis then passed to Baker who ran 12 yards for touchdown. Baker added the tying point with his toe a minute later. In the third period the Purple carried the ball into Purdue territory again on straight football, and two 20-yard passes which Lewis lifted to Seidel and Baker put the pigskin inside the Bollermaker 10-yard sone whence Lewis took it across on the fourth down. Baker missed the try fo: point after touchdown.

Both teams missed drop kick and place kick attempts several tinies in the second half and in the last period Northwestern played a defensive with Baker's kicking forestalling Purdue's aerial attack. BY KENNETH S. CONN. Robert Bruce turned over in his grave yesterday afternoon when his descendants put up such a pitiful showing against an opponent who for four straight years has ground his tribe into the dust and forced it to admit that dust from a champion's foot is not such a bad menu after all. With 26,000 football.

fans looking on at Cartier field Carnegie Tech was again defeated, 26 to 0, by Notre Dame. It was the first invasion of the Kilts into the land of the Rox and was played as a part of the Notre Dame home-coming celebration. From an Irish viewpoint the game was a complete success, from a Scottish view point a fizzle, and from a football lover's viewpoint a disappointment. King Bruce, so history tells us, was inspired by spider, spinning its web, to rise against an admittedly better opponent. He did, and, the tale goes, won.

Carnegie Tech, which Institution claims to have the traditions of the Scots, rose against Notre for the fourth time and was spanked and sent home to. learn more manners before attempting the herculian task that its ancestor accomplished SO successfully Carnegie Tech Humbled. Not only were the Kilts put to route but they were humbled. The score of 26 to x0 represents four touchdowns but is ais far from the truth of the real difference between the two teams as a realtor's sales talk on the Florida land boom. The real story is simply that Notre Dame made 21 first downs as compared to Carnegie Tech's two.

That the offense of Tech was woefully weak and the defense of the Rox strong. That the Kilts have a lot to learn about football before attempting to dethrone the champions of the middle-west, a title that the Rocknemen have assumed in view of their victory over Minnesota, which team leading the western conference and seems destined to clinch Saturday. Tech was even afraid to take aj chance. Not a single forward pass was attempted, only straight football. This policy may be all right but a gridiron team never lived that could beat a Rockne coached outfit in that manner.

The Rox tried five passes not because they were needed, but to keep the boys in practice and show the opposition how smart they really are. It had its effect, for Tech was humbled, defeated and annihilated after the first five minutes of play. Tech Gets Breaks. How Tech could assume this mental attitude is beyond all powers. of conception.

Most teams when the opposition fumbled the ball twice within the 15-yard line in less than 10 minutes of play would have become inspired. Confidence would have swelled in the breasts of the players receiving such breaks. It felt unheeded on the Kilts. Tech decided to receive the opening kickoff and a few plays later Notre Dame took possession of the ball ion Tech's 23-yard line. Wynne, brother of the famous Chet who was one of the best fullbacks to ever tear up the sold of Cartier field, then cut off nine yards through right tackle, putting the ball on the 14-yard line.

Wynne must have felt proud of himself and then the next instance had every reason in the world to feel ashamed. Had brother Chet been in the stands there would have been no speaking between these two members of the family for months to come. Wynne fumbled and Bastian, scooped up. the sphere nad back to the 23-yard line before be downed. Practically the same thing happened again in this period.

John Roach after making pretty tackle plunge and Parisien following it up through center put the ball on Tech's 25-yard line. Winne crashed through for five more yards and then Parisien made it a first down on Tech's 18-yard line. Wynne then repeated his little fumbling act and Tech recovered 15-yard and the second chance for a touchdown was lost. Wynne to Copyright Act. Nor was this all.

In- the second quarter Wynne fumbled again. This time on the 14-yard line, making three more touchdowns Notre Dame should not have had that it did. After an exchange of punts Rockne ent his first string and the march goalward started. when a touchdown was in sight Notre Dame was penalized 15 yards for holding, and for the first time in the game the Rox were temporarily checked. Enright attempted a place kick but it fell short.

After an exchange of punts the Rox gained the ball on 35-yard line. Flanagan broke through left tackle for 25 yards and the first score loomed. Flanagan latter carried the ball- from the 10-yard line Continued on Page Four, Column Three,.
