Wrestling will make. its "winter' debut" here Monday night at the Tyler athletic arena when a championship match and two other outstanding bouts are unreeled, the title bout taking a back row because of the spectacular talent that has been lined up for the main event. The matches: Main event: Paul Jones, Houston, vs. Juan Humberto, Mexico. Semi-final: Marvin Westenberg, champion of the southern, heavyweights, of Los Angeles, vs.

Billy Sledge, Tacoma, Wash. (Title bout.) Opener: Cliff Thiede, Long Beach, Calif, vs. "Tiger" Daula, India. This card has the aspect of being the biggest wrestling feature ever staged in East Texas, and that a capacity crowd will probably attend indicated Saturday night when it was learned that the choice ringside seats were selling fast, despite the fact that the program was two days off. Some very fine wrestling may be expected in the main-event bout in that both, Jones and Humberto are well versed in the scientific points of the game.

State, 7 To 0 Tuscaloosa, Oct. 10 UP). Joe Kllgrow, a swivel-hipped Junior halfback from Montgomery, Ala, brought joy to a home-coming crowd of 16,000 and victory to Alabama, 7 to 0, here Saturday in a bitterly fought battle with Missis sippi State. Kllgrow dashed 83 yards for the game's only touchdown midway in the second period.

The play, a fake punt, caught the Invaders flat-footed and Alabama blockers cleared the path after deception got the runner far up field. Aside from this brilliant run, the game featured two stout, hard-charging lines, with neither team able to punch out first downs consistently. Alabama had the best of it, however, and a penalty for holding early in the third quarter robbed them of a fine chance for another marker. Notre Dame Gets Scare From Wash. U.

But Wins, 14-6 South Bend, Ind, Oct. 10 UP). Uncorking startling strength in the final period, a stubborn Washington university eleven lost to the favored Notre Dame gridmen by only a 14 to 6 margin here Saturday afternoon before approximately 20,000 fans. Unable to penetrate the Irish forward wall during the flrsj, half, the Washington backfield suddenly displayed devastating punch at the end of the third quarter, driving to the Irish three-yard line. Soon after the start of the last period, Joe Bukant, fullback from Dlvernon, HI, plunged over for the Washington touchdown.

Irving Londy, guard from St. Louis, failed to make the extra point. Notre Dame scored In the second and third periods. o- Missouri Gains 6-6 Draw In Tilt With Kansas State Manhattan, Kans, Oct. 10 (IP).

Coach Don Faurot's Missouri wrecking crew, big, tough and with a sharp punch, dimmed the Big Six title hopes of a highly favored and veteran Kansas State football team before approximately 8,000 fans here Saturday by battling the Wildcats to a 7 to 7 tie. The game also blotted the Kansas State record, of not having its goal line crossed on the home field In three years. The Mlssourians, with five sophomores dotting the starting line-up, held Coach Wesley Fry's eleven on virtually even terms for three quarters, then uncorked their touchdown march midway in the final period before the Incredulous fans. Only a brilliant rally enabled" the Wildcats to come back and earn the tie. Si Dixie Series Again Postponed Tulsa, Okla, Oct.

10 0J.R). Chilly weather Saturday forced postponement of "the fourth Dixie series game between Tulsa, Texas league champions, and Birmingham of the Southern association for the baseball championship of the South. It was the third postponement of the series since the teams moved to TuLsa from Birmingham, where the Oilers beat Birmingham in two straight games.

Uram's 79-Yard Jaunt In Final Seconds Margin Tough Cornhusker Team Staves Off Two Drives On Goal By Champs Minneapolis, Minn, Oct. 10 (U.R). The mighty Gophers of Minnesota stepped spectacularly over another hurdle Saturday on their way to a third mythical national football title by defeating a stubborn band of Nebraska Cornhuskers, 7 to 0. More than 55,000 fans saw Coach Bernie Bierman's lads romp to their 19th consecutive victory tying the late Knute Rockne's record at Notre Dame.

Minnesota still has another victory to go to equal Notre Dame's all-time football record of 20, however, for the Ramblers added their 20th straight triumph after Rockne's untimely death. The Minnesota team won, but its margin was tiny, Saturday night. Andy Uram, Gopher halfback is a hero in the eyes of football fans. In the last minute of play, when all seemed hopeless, he took a backward pass from Wilkinson, and twisted and squirmed his way through a broken field 79 yards to a touchdown. Wilkinson converted.

Here's what happened in the story-book finish: The Gophers had been stopped within two yards of the goal late in the fourth period by a stone wall that an army couldn't have passed over. Nebraska had intercepted a third down forward pass for a touchback to take the ball on its 20-yard line. Cardwell knocked off 23 yards on the next play. The Gophers stopped the attack, and Douglas, subbing for the injured Sam Francis, star of the Nebraska offense, got off a kick to Wilkinson. He grabbed the ball on the 25-yard line, turned quickly, flipped the ball to Uram.

Most of the Nebraska team was pulled well over to the south side line and Andy began a mad race for the goal. The Nebraska team was tougher than Minnesota had anticipated. Time after time it bottled up the Minnesota offense with a hard charging line and a pair of efficient ends, McDonald and Dohrmann. The Huskers made one serious threat to score, that in the first period when they fought to Minnesota's 15-yard line. The long-passing tactics of the Huskers looked dangerous at all times and it was a game that might easily have been decided by a single successful flip.

The Gophers made 11 first downs to Nebraska's four. From scrimmage, the Gophers had a total gain of 233 yards and a net of 169. Nebraska had a total of 72 with a net of 39. Sou. Cal.

Trojans Trample Illinois Under 24-6 Score Champaign, HI, Oct. 10 (U.R). Southern California's mighty men of Troy stormed out of the West with a vengeance Saturday and crushed Illinois, 24 to 6 before 33,000 fans in Memorial stadium. The red-shirted Giants paralyzed the lighter Illinl with a cunning that matched their brawn and rolled up three touchdowns and two safeties before Bob Zuppke's youngsters scored against a second team. A blocked punt by Gene Hibbs gave the Trojans a safety near the end of the first quarter, and within three minutes Hibbs tackled Jay Wardley, quarterback, behind the goal line for a second safety.

At the start of the second quarter, Southern California switched on its offensive and rushed to the Illinois one-yard line on a series of running plays by the Trojans' swirling dervish, Davie Davis, and forward passes from Davis, to Beans There the Ullnl held for downs, but Davis returned a punt to the 40, when fired a long pass to Ralph Stanley who caught it on -the 12 and fell over the goal line after being hit hard from behind. Wehba converted from placement. Again it was Davis who moved Southern California into position and completed a 20-yard forward pass to Hibbs for a touchdown In the third quarter. In the fourth, the Trojans completed their scoring when Jimmy Jones ripped 11 yards over left guard for the third touchdown, and kicked the extra point. Louisiana State Routs Georgia, 47-7 Baton Rouge, Oct.

10 (IP). Aroused by criticism, Louisiana State university's Bayou Tigers mangled Georgia Saturday night 47 to 7 in a grid game that promised to be close, but turned into a rout. A superb L. S. u.

eleven got the jump on the Bulldogs of Georgia at the start, and after the latter's defense yielded one touchdown In the period, really got going to roll up three more tallies in the second quarter and still three more in the third. Georgia's marker came in the last two minutes of play when Forrest "Spec" Towns, world's record holder in the high hurdles, scooped up a blocked punt and raced 80 yards against L. third-stringers. In the second, Baylor added a safety margin with a field goal. It followed Bra sell's advance to Arkansas' five-yard line.

There Gernand put the ball between the goal posts. The splendid bulk and tenacity of Baylor's line continued to withstand a Porker onslaught. And while they staved off Arkansas, they threateningly broke through tha Razorback line, as full of holes as a sieve. In the third period the game moved sluggishly. Disgusted, some of the 4,000 fans who sat in a breeze-swept cold stadium began to leave.

They thought Arkansas had been over-touted. In the fourth, things started hap-' pen lag. Perhaps Imbued with ths spirit of Jack Robblns. who lay In a city hospital suffering from a broken blood vessel In his ankle, the Arkansans became 11 fighting, mad, wild hogs. Montgomery was taken out for Dwlght Sloan.

Immediately he passed to Hamilton, who lateraled to Rawllngs for 45 yards, and the first Arkansas score. The Porkers had received the ball from Baylor in midfield on downs. The fans went wild. The stream of leaving spectators turned tha other way. They came back to sea a story-book finish to a classic ball game.

Baylor had been caught napping. They stiffened their line. But so did Arkansas, who held them on the 20-yard line for downs after the kick-off. Russell punted out to Rawllngs, who was stopped on Baylor's 47-yard stripe. In the most brilliant play of the day, the little back twisted around right end and through a field of Bears to the nine-yard line.

Sloan tried to pass to Benton, but Russell, the singer, who crooned for three-periods, cried for one, batted it flat. Sloan then flipped to Rawllngs who was over, but the play was recalled for off-sides. Then Sloan connected with Jim Benton, towering end, for the score. B. A.

Owens converted. Summary: Score by periods: Baylor 7 3 0 010 Arkansas 0 0 (t It 14 Baylor scoring touchdown, Bra-eell; point from try after touchdown, Gernand (placement); field goal, Gernand.

Oct. 10 UP). A revamped Iewa football team swarmed over South Dakota university Saturday, rolling up a 33 to 7 victory before a crowd of 10,000 in the University of Iowa stadium. More popular than ever The Cross Country is the favorite lightweight hat for sports, travel and business wear. $5 HALE-CLYDE AND COMPANY MEN'S WEAK gggi 30 yards for a total gain of 55 yards and the game's lone score.

Stymied two minutes before the scorping play, after a sensational aerial splurge had carried to the nine-yard stripe, the Longhorns came right back and with Bill Pitzer hurling, won their 21st game In the long series of 31 played since 1900. Back on his own 45-stripe, Pitzer loosed a 25-yard throw that Baer and Huddleston, Oklahoma backs, Juggled in the air for a second. Dallas, Texas, Oct. 10 (U.R).

Tippen, driving downfield at top speed, rushed by, snatched the ball and hurried to the touchdown. Baer caught him at the goal line but was dragged across.

Harrison, substitute back, missed the try for point. The Sooners, featuring the bullet throwing of Webber Merrell and the line thrusts of Bill Breeden, fiswept back with a sparkling drive That carried to the Longhorn eight-yard line. There it halted when an intricate spinner play lost six yards. Coach Jack Chevlgny's Long-rtiorns, dull at the start, gathered momentum and finally started click-tag when a second-string backfield began firing passes in the third period. The Steers tossed 15 passes and completed eight for 137 yards.

Oklahoma took advantage of a Stiff breeze in the first period and kept the Longhorns on their heels with kicks. Once the Sooners carried to the Texas 22-yard line but a 15-yard penalty, of which there were five In the game, stopped jthem cold. Breeden's attempted field goal from the Texas 28-yard line in the first period, fizzled when the big back got his foot far under the ball and pushed it only 11 yards. Still another Sooner threat early ta the second period went for naught when Merrell fumbled on the Steer 14-yard line after Hud-dleston's nice sprint and a 15-yard holding penalty had shoved the Sooners into dangerous territory. Texas' surprising aerial display started late in the third period when a gang of second stringers, paced by the brilliant "Red" Sheridan and Jud Atchison, carried from their own 22-yard stripe to the Oklahoma nine.

The charging Sooner line blocked Sheridan's kick on the Steer 22, but the bounding redhead recovered, and on the next play knifed over tackle 15 yards. A lateral to Wolfe netted nine yards and Atchison shot a 20-yard heave to pass-catching Tippen. Sheridan fired two throws to Fomey and Peterson, an end, that carried to the Oklahoma nine. Coach Chevigny elected to remove his "hot" backfield from the game and shot his regular back into action. "Bo" Hewes, Oklahoma's great back, ripped through and dropped Jay Arnold for a four-yard loss and then Pitzer fired a pass across the goal line that little Jack Baer grabbed for a touchback.

That threat ended but it was revived again after Oklahoma hastily kicked out to the Texas 45. Pitzer wound up and threw his classic touchdown pass that Tippen snatched from Baer and Huddleston. Texas, shoved far back on the kick-off by 20 yards in penalties incurred when a substitute talked and the first kick went out of bounds, booted weakly to Oklahoma on the Texas 48. A punt exchange followed and Merrell ripped off a first down on the Steer 30. Big Bill Breeden scattered Longhorns in a dash to the 16 and then faked a pass and staggered through the line to the Steer eight.

The Sooners tried a complicated reverse which hurt badly, Anderson, substitute back, finally being spilled for a six-yard loss. Lengthy, desperate passes failed the Oklahomans in the fading seconds of play. Pete Smith, huge Oklahoma end, and Cronkright, burly center, spent half the afternoon in the Texas in a fine defensive display. Captain Clint Small, allegedly on the shelf with injuries, played a raging game at his center post little Henry Mittermayer, Texas quarterback, was also a de-ip fenslve bulwark. The carrot-top of "Red'' Sheridan stood out offensively.

STANFORD-OREGON TIE, 7-7 A Palo Alto, Oct. 10 UP).

Hard Work Faces Gladewater Grid Team Before Mavs Oladewater, Texas, Oct.

11. Far from satisfied with the showing made by the Gladewater High school Bruins against Gilmer Friday night, Coaches Jake Hanna and Roy Eury will begin Monday the hardest week's work since the season opened, In order that the locals will be ready for their next important district game Friday night against Marshall. The end play of the Bruins was not all that could be expected Friday against the much weaker and inexperienced Oilmer team, and other weaknesses showed up, while the running plays did not gain the expected yardage. Approximately 400 local football fans, including the high-school pep squad and band, will accompany the Bruins to Marshall for the game Friday night. Indiana Wallops Wolverines, 14-3 Ann Arbor, Oct.

10 (U.R). A freak touchdown in the second period by the University of Indiana's Captain Chris Dal Sasso took all of the first-period fight out of Harry Kipke's Michigan football team Saturday and left them easy victims for a 14 to 3 defeat by the Hoosiers. The decisive touchdown came on the first play of the second quarter with Tex Stanton, Michigan fullback, carrying the ball for the first time in his college career. As he ran into one of his own blockers, Dal Sasso snatched the ball from his arms and sprinted unhindered 36 yards to the Michigan goal. Little Yale Team Wrecks To 0 New Haven, Oct.

i ft IO-7 Win Tulsa. Okla, Oct. 10 Sam Baugh demonstrated rather conclusively in Skelly stadium Saturday afternoon that an aerial football bombardment is a very bad thing indeed for a football hurricane. The result of Baugh's mighty heaves: Texas Christian university's Horned Frogs 10; Tulsa university's Golden Hurricane 7. Baugh's passing paved the way for T.

C. winning field goal which came with only 35 seconds to play. A series of five of Sammy's passes, one of them over the goal line and incomplete, finally landed the ball on Tulsa's 14. Baueh holding, Capt. Walter Roach place-kicked cleanly through the uprights for the three-point victory.

T. C. U. really should have had more points. Earlier in the fourth period, Baugh flipped one neatly from the 16-yard line smack over the goal line into the hands of big Will Walls, end, but T.

C. U. was offside and the ball went back to the 21-yard line. A moment later Montgomery's field-goal attempt barely missed. Baugh entered the game near the end of the first half, with his team trailing 7 to 0.

From then on he tossed to tlje right, he tossed to the left. He threw them long, he threw, them short. If oi.e went bad he tried again, and yet again. It seemed that by the law of averages his continual flipping fast Billy Sledge, since the latter is one of the most aggressive grapplers ever to sport a pair of tights in the local arena. Sledge at one time was the biggest favorite Tyler fans had, because of his unusually fair tactics, and despite the fact that his opponents used every rough trick known in the game, he always came out on top.

He. and Westenberg have never met before, which should make the bout all the more interesting. Thiede, who is to meet "Tiger" Daulo on the card's opener, made his first appearance here last week in a bout which he won handily. But in meeting the India mat wizard, Thiede will be up against a man that very few wrestlers have been able to beat. Daula Is without a doubt the best wrestler ever to come here, and why he was ever put on anything but the main event is explained in the fact that the other two matches are nothing short of Thiede should have a good race in trying to evade Daula's spectacular tricks.

Over Tulsa would win a ball game, and that's about what happened. The chart showed the Frogs tried 39 forward passes and completed 15 for 203 yards. Baugh himself tossed 29 passes. His pitching arm gained 180 yards for Texas Christian. Vic Hurt's aerial circus, new this year at Tulsa resulted In 13 forwards attempted, of which three were completed.

Throughout most of the first half the Hurricane had the advantage, played heads -up football and pushed over one touchdown early in the second. McClure's fumble on his own 19-yard line was recovered by Gailord Sartain, guard, for Tulsa. The Hurricane pounded the line and the ball was on the half -yard line as the first period ended. On the first play of the second Troy Scholl, fullback, smashed right guard for the touchdown and Gregory's place kick was perfect. Texas Christian's third-period touchdown came in the midst of another Baugh sortie from the air.

Sammy passed from the 21 over the goal line to Montgomery, who failed to hold It for the score. Then Montgomery fooled the Hurricane, he took a short lateral flip from Baugh and passed it over the goal line to Walls, who was untnuirrlpri Rmrh nlar-lf Irlrrrl t.h TiKtra point.

The Huskies, unleashing a powerhouse attack in its veteran back-field of Jimmy Cain, "By" Haines, Elmer Logg and Ed Nowogroski, passed and pounded downfield in the second quarter for its first touchdown. The second tally came on a combination of football bobbles by a luckless Bruin substitute halfback with seven minutes to go in the last period.
