lg (A. In the last 50 seconds of play. Jack Manders kicked a 24-yard field goal today to give the world champion Chicago Bears a 10 to 9 victory over the New York Giants before a record crowd of 60,000 persons in the Polo Grounds. The victory was the Bears' tenth straight of the current professional campaign and enabled them to keep abreast of the Detroit Lions, who defeated St. Louis, for the leader ship of the Western Division of the league With the game apparently in the bag as the result of a touchdown by Ken Strong in the second period and a safety in the third chapter, the Giants were headed for their thirteenth successive triumph on their home field until Max Krause, reserve tialfback, fumbled on the Giants' 33-yard line.

A few minutes before Krause's fumble Beattie Feathers, skirted the Giants' right end for 12 yards and a touchdown and Manders converted a placement for the extra point, bringing the Bears to within two points of the Giants, 7 to 9. Big Link Lyman, a veteran pro performer, recovered Krause's fumble and then opened up a big hole for Manders to plunge to the Giants 26 yard line. On the next three plays Manders and Bronko Nagur-skl advanced the sphere to the Giants' 16-yard line. When it was announced 50 seconds remained, the Bears went into a huddle, took posi. tions with Manders back for a kick.

The big Bear front line held like concrete, allowing Manders to take his time to boot the ball over the Red and White uprights. The Giants' touchdown came after a 59-yard march with Strong carrying the ball most of the way behind Bo Molenda's blocking. As the first period ended the ball was on the Bears' three-yard line and on the first play of the second Strong pushed it over. Strong kicked off at the start of the half over the Bears' goal line. Corbctt scooped up the ball and then fell behind the line and the Giants were given a safety and a 9-0 lead Gene Ronzani.

broad-shouldered halfback, led the Bears in a 46-yard drive to a score in the fourth. On three plays he carried the ball to the Giant 12-yard line and then Feathers trotted across the pay stripe. NBW YORK CHICAGO nudum Hewitt MorKftll h. L. i K.

4 i'n. Race with Purdue Kilreas Goal Late in Battle Averts Defeat Neither Gains Points as Result of Deadlock By M. F. Drukenbrod Detroit Olympics and London Te-ctimsehs battled through 70 minutes nf erratic hockey to a 1-to-l dead-jnrk last night at Olympia. It was the first tie game of the season in the International League and under the league's new ruling no points were awarded.

Members of both teams were agreed that it was a lot of work for nothing, although the Olympics, rj the home team, naturally were pained more than the Tecumsehs. The new rule did one thing, though. It caused more action than miially marked an overtime period, which was Just what those who urjfcd the rule wanted. Still leg weary after their gruelling tussle of the night before in Cleveland, the Olympics never looked like themselves. Perhaps they were lurky to get a tie, even though it gained them nothing in the point table and although they outplayed their rivals by a wide margin in th extra period.

O's Faming Faulty The O's were badly off in and couldn't dent the London defense to any appreciable extent In the early stages of the game. Because of this, and with last year's champions holding a wide margin In territorial play for more than a period and a half, it looked bad for the Detroiters when Eddie Oue-lctte bagged the first goal of the Same for the visitors midway in the second period. He took a pass from Eric Pettingcr at the blue line and fired a long one past Goalie Tompkins from the left wing. That score aroused the Olympics and for the first time they took i harse of the play, frequently forcing their way close to the London net and causing Goalie Stuart some 'anxious moments. The Olympics' determined rush finally brought them the tying score after less than five minutes of the third period.

Wally Kilrae bauged the score with Asmundsen and Starr lending helping hands. Kilrae was left uncovered directly in front of the net and easily the puck past Stuart after taking Asmundscn's pass. Big Crowd Seen Game No further scoring resulted, although the aroused Olympics were tn close frequently only to find Stuart too good for them. The Detroiters pressed In the overtime and Roulston and Walker two rushes narrowly missed scoring. Once Stuart wag com-Pflled to fall on the puck with Olympics swarming about him.

Petttnser narrowly missed scoring just before the close of the overtime. In fact he and most of the Tecs thought he did. Shooting from the left he fired the puck past Tompkins but it hit the post in-tead of going in. Tompkins played another strong tame in the nets for Detroit and held off the Tecs during the earlier when they repeatedly got in cioe. Any team is entitled to an off night occasionally, but the trouble was the Olympics picked the wrong night for theirs.

They were play-In? before the largest crowd they kav drawn here in several seasons, (lose to 7,000, and didn't look so good until late in the game. Llnr-un: LONDON OLYMPICS Mnnrt Tompkliw "linl R. Footer R'ntiir K. I L.drrmn I Moffiitt II OiirlHf. Kltrca "'T.

London 1. TUESDAY'S GAME oK London, Hockey WAY TO THE GOAL LINE and been razzed the rest of my days, because the score would have been held down to 13 to 0. Kipke referred to the pass Jennings called on fourth down late in the third period, until which time the Wolverines had bottled up the Buckeye offense and kept them backed up against their own goal posts. REGECZI, in deep punt formation, failed to find a receiver and was thrown for a 20-yard loss. It gave 'the ball to Ohio on the Michigan 48-yard line.

It was the incentive Ohio needed to start a drive for three more touchdowns. But Jennings would have been considered a very smart young man had the play succeeded. The score was then 13 to 0. It was the kind of strategy that aided Harry Newman to All-America recognition. Jennings failed just as Newman did at times.

Bvt New- man had leadem his line and backfield to aid In a comeback. Jennings had none. If there has been any member of the Michigan team who consistently has given more to his team than any other player, he is Ferris Jennings. He played best for Michigan on Saturday. When Dick Heekio scored Ohio's first touchdown he went through a hole more than 16 feet wide.

One young man on that side of the line didn't know it was Saturday and that he was in Columbus. He was Willard Hildebrand, knocked groggy in the first play of the game. He shook his head, appeared wobbly, and went back into the line-up. He played hard, but mechanically. Hours after the game he could not recall having played; remembered nothing about the game.

Maulbetsch had praise for Hildebrand and Jennings. THE FORMER All-America does not believe that the Wolverines can defeat Northwestern In the final game of the most disastrous football season in Michigan's history. His reason for so believing Is summed up in three words: Lack of leadership. Almost equally as miserable as Kipke was Fielding H. Yost, Michigan athletic director.

He boarded the homecoming train wearing a dejected look in spite of his natty tuxedo, donned for some formal Columbus occasion which couldn't have been a happy one for the Michigan nan. "Oh, don't let's even talk about it," Yost declared as he bit deeply into his cigar. Whereupon Mrs. Yost restored the "Old Man's" usual riease Turn to Page 14 Column 7 By Tod Rockwell Potsy Cla-k's Detroit Lions accomplished much more Sunday afternoon at the University of Detroit Stadium than soundly trouncing the St Louis Gunners, 40 to 7. Thirteen thousand spectators, the largest crowd of the National League season here, braved rainy and cold weather and were rewarded with a first rlass exhibition of Lion ve-Katlllty and Gunner willingness to mix it.

So that no child in Detroit may be without Christmas, the Lions turned the net proceeds of the game over to the Good-fellows' Fund. In addition the Lions kept pare with the Chicago Bears, who defeated the Giants in New York, 10 to 9. Both the Bears and the Lions have won 10 consecutive contests, equalling the league record set in 1929 by the Packers from Green Bay. Even without the inimitable Earl (Dutch) Clark, Detroit's star field general, ball toler and drop kicker, the Lions showed class and power. Clark was in New York gathering information about the weaknesses.

If any, of the Bears. Had Dutch been in the line-up the Lions might easily have set a league scoring record, because the Gunners were completely outclassed in most stages of the game and in all departments. Mrms Runs 55 Yards It was the sharp-shooting passing of Glenn Presnell. pilot; the blocking of Pop Lumpkin, the halfback, and the fleetness of Ernie Caddel with the plunging of Ace Gutowsky that routed the Gunners. It was the charging Hon line and the play of Harry Ebding and John Schnel-ler, ends, which bottled up the Gunner attack with but one excep tion.

A pass, that sailed in the air 15 yards from Rapp to Moas. In the third period, was completed when I'op anu rresnell were taking a slight nap for themselves and Moss, Gunner left end, ran 55 yards to a touchdown. Pop and Glenn awakened BUddenly and were in hot but futile pursuit as Moss stepped over the goal line. But otherwise Pop and Glenn were wide awake with many Gunners chasing them. Glenn scored two touchdowns himself and vitally assisted in two others when he tossed touchdown passes to Caddel and Ebding.

In addition Presnell kicked four points after touchdowns from placement. Caddel scored a second touchdown on a six-yard dash through tackle. Ace Gutowsky opened ths Lion scoring early in the first period on a perfectly timed spinner play that had Moss chasing Caddel half way across the field after the spin. Ace hesitated until the entire left side of the Gunner line shifted over with the faking Caddel and then galloped around Moss' left end unmolested for the score. Johnston, the Gunner fullback and a good one, hit Ace as he stepped over the goal line.

Smart Play Scores A short kick by Johnston midway in the first quarter gave the Lions the ball on the St. Louis 38. Glenn looked over the defense in the huddle and on the first play ran out to the right as though sweeping the end. But suddenly he dropped back, IS yards from the line of scrimmage, and tossed a neat six-yard pass to Caddel. Ernie caught the ball at full speed.

He tucked It under his arm and his pumping legs opened a wide gap between him and several Gunner tacklers. Ernie scored standing up. In most football games some break or series of them lead to a score. Opening the second period the Lions scored their third touchdown after Guards Ox Emerson and Maure Bodenger blocked a punt. Knox recovered for Detroit on the St.

Louis five-yard line. Two plays i failed to gain and then Caddel shot through the Gunner right tackle for six yards and a touchdown. After Casper, Gunner halfback, fumbled Frank Chiistensen's punt the Lions gained possession on the St Louis 22-yard line in the later part of the first half. On the second play Presnell tossed a 15-yard pass to He ran five yards over the goal line without a Gunner within 10 yards of him. March from Mldfield Schneller broke up a lateral passing play early in the third period in midfield.

He recovered the ball and the Lions began a march to the Gunner goal that ended in a touchdown when Presnell cut inside the St. Louis left tackle for 18 yards. Pop Lumpklns acted the part of a punt receiver midway in the fourth quarter just long enough to pave the way for Detroit's sixth and final touchdown. He caught a low punt In his halfback territory and battered his way from the Lion 45-yard line deep Into St. Louis territory.

The first minute's play is enough for State supporters. They sum up the game, "State beat Detroit, 7 to 6." But the thousands of Detroit rooters who helped jam the stadium feel differently. They know that the team which outplayed State only to be beaten by a kick after touchdown was a new Detroit team. It was one so different in spirit from that which lost to Du-quesne and Oklahoma A. and M.

that the comparison is almost ludicrous. The hesitant, desperate play of the early games was missing. It was a confident courageous team that would not be resigned to defeat. That game might well be termed "The Rebirth of the Titans." for it was a team that played like the best Detroit teams of other years. The Titans realized on their potentialities for the first time this Please Turn to Page lb Column 1 0 0 THE YOUTHFUL football players of the University of Wisconsin, a team which did not appear to be of Western Conference caliber when it played Michigan at Ann Arbor, whipped one of the best teams in the country last Saturday at Madison when Illinois was set back.

And at Princeton the plavers from Yale rose up and defeated the Tigers, a team, rated nationally with the Illini. At Columbus the University of Michigan team's activities against the Buckeyes caused Johnny Maulbetsch, the "three-legged Maully" of Michigan All-America halfback fame, to exclaim: "These, men are wearing blue jerseys, but they are not Michigan men!" For three-quarters of the game Maulbetsch sat in the press box keeping statistics for the Free Press. It was the first time he ever had been a spectator at a Michigan football game. For three periods Maully watched for some member of the Blue team to lead. And when the game was over no leader had appeared.

The youngsters from Wisconsin must have had some sort of leadership. And some player or players on the Yale team must have set the pace for that remarkable victory. AS STATISTICIAN, Maulbetsch recorded that Michigan punted 12 times. He compiled an average to show that the Wolverine kicks averaged 45 yards a remarkable average considering the strong wind. But going a little further Maulbetsch and this observer counted the number of Ohio men who were knocked off their feet by Michigan blocking when Jennings was handling punts.

It is almost unbelievable to record here that only three Buckeyes were thus counted and it appeared that on one occasion's Buckeye had slipped and had fallen down. The decided lack of charge in the Michigan line contributed much to the success of the Ohio offense. Blue Jerseys were not rushing into the Ohio blocking units and skinning the Buckeye ball carrier of his interference ere he reached the line of scrimmage. There was a consistent lack of sharp tackling, for which Michigan has been famous, during 60 minutes of the game. When Michigan had possession of the ball it appeared that In wood Smith and Regis Mona-han were a part of the Michigan backfield.

They charged and charged. The Ohio left tackle, Harre, had a field day, too. That gave Ohio three leaders in its line. DICK Ohio's best back, with Bettridge, took advantage of Michigan's ineffectual tackling. The Ohio halfbacks, Pincura, Boucher, Wetzel, Smith and Dye and others, did not use the straight-arm.

They didn't need it against the Wolverine type of tackling. The Buckeyes had a half dozen leaders in their backfield. The lack of charge; the faulty beset the harrassed head man of the once great Blue Shirts from Manhattan. It seems that Patrick has not been exactly satisfied with his goal-tending department since the fall of 1931 when he convinced himself that John Rose Roach had outlived his usefulness as a major leaguer. Patrick turned over the veteran to the Red Wings for the proverbial song.

Roach promptly gave Lester something to think about by handing the Rangers their first shutout in three seasons and was the No. 1 man in the Wings' drive to the playoffs. Young Andy Aitkenhead's work season drew no laudatory discourses from Manager Patrick although the press of the Nation had a lot of nice things to say about him. So Lester determined to cure the only ill he could locate in the Ranger' buckey. system, He III! Nemesis Now mi Only Hurdle in CHICAGO Nov.

18 (A. The role of giant killer In Western Conference football traffic belongs to Wisconsin. The Badgers, having knocked out the hitherto undefeated Illinois eleven, for at least a share of the Big Ten championship, will attempt to do what no other eleven has been able to accomplish this year-beat Minnesota in the windup of the season next Saturday. Minnesota will invade Madison to end its season by tangling with the Badgers in the important game of the climax. Purdue, which is untied and undefeated in Big Ten competition, meets Indiana at Lafayette.

If Minnesota and the Boilermakers come up victorious the mythical championship of the Big Ten will be shared by them. Wisconsin and Indiana will be required to spring the biggest upsets of the season to conquer their opponents, although the Badgers, with a couple victories under their belt appear to be highly dangerous. With Pat O'Dea, the Rip Van Winkle of college football, as the honored guest of the homecoming, the Badgers walloped Illinois 7-3 yesterday in a surprising upset. They always come up with a couple of upsets each year and may prove to be a disastrous foe for the powerful Minnesota crew. If they succeed in triumphing over the Gophers, or even hold them close, it would be a good idea to send O'Dea, who gained fame at Wisconsin 35 years ago as the greatest kicker who ever wore a cieated shoe, down to Galesburg and have him give a helping hand to good old Knox College, which lost its twenty-sixth game on the gridiron yesterday.

As the Big Ten skirmish swings into its final week of competition, Minnesota and Purdue seem certain of sharing the championship. The season "-will come to an end with all 10 teams engaging in championship battles. Northwestern will journey to Ann Arbor to close its season in a game with Michigan, with Illinois meeting Chicago at Stagg Field. The fifth combat will bring Ohio State and Iowa together at Columbus. Minnesota, ranked as the number one team of the nation, gave further evidence of its power yesterday in annihilating Chicago, 35-7.

The relentless Gophers, chock full of football power, crushed the Maroons, rolling up four touchdowns in the second half, after the courageous went on the market during the off season and purchased Percy Jackson from the Boston Bruins. The gap had been filled and the Rangers supposedly were healthy again. The Rangers played a series of exhibition games with the Montreal Maroons in Winnipeg, St Paul and Minneapolis before the current season opened and both Aitkenhead and Jackson took their turn between the posts. It was then that Patrick began to see symptoms of the Rangers" old complaint The Maroons were doing a lot of scoring. Perhaps Lester tossed a coin to determine whether Aitkenhead or Jackson would start the championship campaign in the Rangers' goal.

It was Aitkenhead who was between the posts when the Rangers opened the season in St Louis. The supposedly weak Eagles fired four Please Turn to. Page 15 Column 2 Maroons, outpointed in weight and talent, had made a ball game out of it for the first 30 minutes, restraining the Gophers to a single touchdown. The record crowd of the Western Conference season, 68,678 persons, jammed the double-decked stands at Ohio State to see the Buckeyes' greatest triumph in 31 years in beating Michigan for the seventh time. The Buckeyes excelled the Wolverines in power, speed and passing, and chalked up a 34-0 victory.

Only in kicking were they excelled, and for punting they had no need. The Ohioans forward passed from any point of the field, lateraled as if engaged in a basketball contest, and produced deception that bordered on magic. It was an old story in Notre Dame's 20-7 triumph over Northwestern. After being outscored and outplayed in the first half, Notre Dame turned on a flood of power, speed and deception to conquer the battered Wildcats. APs Sale Ends Act of Schacht-AItrock Nick Stays with Nats, Foil Goes to Boston WASHINGTON, Nov.

18 fA.P.) Baseball's notorious burlesque clowns Al Schacht and Nick Al-trock have played their final act. Their long fun-making partnership has been dissolved. Al has chosen to cast his baseball future with the Boston Red Sox. The Washington Senators have released him in order that he might follow Manager Joe Cronin to Boston as third base coach. For a decade, the slender Schacht and the chubby Altrock have thrown Washington baseball fans into convulsions of laughter by their pre-game antics.

Throughout the American League circuit and on the training trips in the South, this pair has brought cheer to the hearts of millions of spectators. Strangely enough, Schacht and Altrock so the story goes have not spoken off the diamond in years. For reasons never explained they were said to have quarreled. Altrock will remain with the Senators. A coaching job Is now open in Washington and reports today pointed to Joe Judge, Roger Peck-ingpaugh and Bib Falk, who was with Bucky Harris, the new Senator manager, in Boston.

Judge, who played first base here for years, apparently has the inside track.

Walter Michigan State College and University of Detroit each came out of the game at East Lansing Saturday with a victory. The score read to 6 in favor of Michigan State but Detroit had scored a victory of the spriit That is- another way of saying that Detroit scored a "moral vci-tory." That term is regarded as a joke by the practical-minded who see in it only a weak attempt of the losers to gain some sort of consolation.

For the practical minded the score alone matters. That Is what goes in the record books. For State supporters the score will suffice. The 20-yard run by Kurt Warmbein that scored State's touchdown and the winning place-kick for the extra point by Art Brandstatter in the first minute of play were perfect pieces of workmanship. The State team played an exceltent defensive gama after giving the Titans several scoring chances.

Out of that score and By Jack Carveth MONTREAL, Nov. 18 "Wonder who Patrick will have in goal by the time we get another crack at the Rangers in New York Thursday night?" Several members of a squad or 15 Red Wings were pondering Lester Patrick's immediate problem today after their 3 to 0 conquest of the Canadiens last night. It was the Wings first stop of an eastern invasion that will put them against the Boston Bruins, the Rangers and the Toronto Maple Leafs on foreign ice before reutrning home next Sunday. Whether Patrick goal-tending problem is real or fancied, is of no immediate concern of the Red Wings. But certainly Lester trouble has reached the acute stage with alarming celerity, accompanied by compUcationa luruier.
