You may have heard something about the University of Washington's winning streak, during the regime of Gilmour Dobie as head coach. It's in the books that the huskies rolled up 44 consecutive wins from 1908 to '14. but it hardly compares with the best marks, before or since, for the simple reason that it was not compiled exclusively in college competition.

Tliese changes, notably permitting passing anywhere behind and up to the line of scrimmage, were designed to increase the effectiveness of offense, consequently making speed of foot more essential and taking the stress off mountainous defenses.

Fortmann, the league's youngest player, was one of the outstanding linesmen for the college all-stars in the two games against the Detroit Lions and the New York Giants and is one of the most powerful factors in the Bears' forward wall. The fact that he was a Phi Beta Kapjpa man 1 in college explains his early gradua-1 tion and debut in pro ranks.

Crimon Snap Back Awakened by Loyola's surprising power, the Crimsons came right back to tie the count with a pass from Kilgrow to Warren.

The flashv end grabbed the ball on the 50-yard line and ran unmolested for the score. Kilgrow's try for the extra point veered to the right of the uprights. Alabama punched determinedly toward pay dirt in the second quarter, but Loyola's fighting forwards proved too stubborn. The Tide's greatest threat in the period folded up with a 15-vard holding penalty after they had marched 62 yards from their own 20. The third period was fata! for Loyola.

After they had pushed deep into Alabama territory the Wolves lost the ball. Kilgrow punted to Hughes on the Tide's 37, but Nisbet intercepted Daigles pass and ran to his 40. A punt exchange gave Alabama the ball on Loyolas 36. Riley slashed tackle for 10, then passed to Nesbit for a touchdown. Kilgrow booted the extra point.

Tide Gains Momentum From then on it was mostly Alabama, with the backs splitting the Wolf line with vicious stabs, but i w'hen the pay-off line came into sight the Maroon and Gold clad 1 linesmen held. Reed's linesmen capped their brilliant play wuth a goal line stand on the one-yard line that withstood the best efforts of Kilgrow and Nisbet. Eddie Daigle made the longest run of 4he day. He grabbed an Alabama pass on his own goal line and dashed 60 yards before being dumped by Peters. Alabama made 13 first downs to five for Loyola and gained 288 yards in running and passing plays to 100 for the Wolf Pack.

Another Dobie String Moving to Cornell University, "far above Cayuga's waters, Gil Dobie was the hub of the Bulldog attack. The little back smashed into the Spring Hill line for large gains and his great defensive work in backing up the line was largely responsible for the failure of the Hill running and passing attack to register a first down.

Enterprise Club -Players Released DURHAM, N. C. PP The reserve lists of three minor league baseball clubs were shorn late yesterday when President W. G. Bramham.

of the National Association of Professional Leagues, announced that the players of the clubs had been de dared free agents and their names stricken from the lists which are being compiled for next season. The clubs affected by the decision are Omaha, of the Western League, Portsmouth; Ohio, of the Middle Atlantic League, and Enterprise, of the Alabama-Florida League. Bramhams act resulted from the failure of the clubs to meet in full their 1936 salary obligations to players. The free agency order affected only the active and suspended players of the clubs, those classed as voluntarily retired and ineligible being placed on the general list carried by the association. Young Rockne Star In Teams Victory Madigan Changes Style Of Pep Talk Slip Madigan, highly successful coach of the St.

Mary's football team, owes much of his progress to the fact that he is a keen student of human nature just as Rockne was. Slips understanding and encouragement bring out the best that is in his men. But even a wise man like Slip changes tactics now and then. Once upon a time he was the foremost disciple of high emotion and the old-time pep talk. But reports from Moraga are to the effect that Slip has turned completely.

No more pep talks. He resorts to calm and intelligent reasoning with individual players the person-to-person call. If he addresses the team as a group he does so in moderate tones minus all oratorical fireworks. And in his men Madigan looks for two elements before picking his first, second and third strings. He wants intelligence and aggressiveness.

One of the two won't do. A man to make a team of Slips must have both regardless of what fine qualities he may have otherwise. Madigan has succeeded. The story is told in the games won and also in the number of St. Mary's graduates who are coaching elsewhere.

There are 52 of them. If they werent intelligent they wouldnt have those jobs. Only one other school claims more coaches among its graduates, and that, of course, is Notre Dame. Dave Rogan, a distance runner for the University of Kentucky, has never lost a race. the Howard 35-yard stripe.

Nichols said the government had recently purchased its first direct control autogiro and that it would be tested for its utility as an observation plane for military operation.

He said the autogiro has a cruising speed of about 16 miles per hour without losing altitude and can be handled by two men, whereas the captive balloons now used require a ground crew of about 150 men. The plane has an overland speed of about 130 miles per hour maximum and 105 miles normal cruising. tories in 1919 The chief winning streak honors have passed from Notre Dame to Southern California to Minnesota in recent years. The Trojans, picking up where the Irish left off, compiled 25 consecutive victories from 1931 to 1933. Minnesota, unbeaten in 1933, but tied four times, hasnt been tied or beaten since.
