But not until 26,000 spectators, the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game in Detroit, had seen a great gridiron classic in a Titan Stadium that was packed to capacity Thanksgiving Day. The score was 19 to 16.

It was a masterful exhibition of offensive football. Two of the greatest lines in the game waged a fierce struggle to make way for dozen and more versatile backs who could plunge, pass, run and place-kick; dropkick, block and tackle. It was a great spectacle because the Bears overcame a 16 to 7 lead at halftime, and because the outcome was in doubt until the final moment of play. It was a spectacle because Bill Hewitt, the Bear end, had to play 60 minutes of remarkable football before he could be stamped as the best player on the 4 held Thursday. It was a spectacle because the Lion line prevented the plunging Bonko Nagurski from gaining consistently, and because Ace Gutowsky, the Lion fullback, plunged with as much force as his mighty Ace contributed probably the outstanding play of the game in the final quarter when he rid himself of a Bear blocker with his left hand and tackled Joe Zeller with the other, after the latter had intercepted a Glenn Presnell forward pass.

Crippled Clark Is Wily Earl (DutchV Clark, the Lion quarterback, contributed much to the game. Though badly crippled with a left ankle which scarcely could bear his full weight, his generalship could not be questioned. It was the presence of Dutch In the backfield which kept most spectators in their seats until the final gun. The Lions' scoring was done by Ace Gutowsky, who scored two touchdowns; Dutch Clark, who drop-kicked for the point after Ace's first score and by Glenn Presnell, who kicked a 34-yard place-kick. Gene Ronzanl scored the Bears first touchdown on a pass and Jack Manders converted.

Jack thereafter scored two goals from placement, 14 and 34 yards respectively, and a short pass, Nagurski to Hewitt, netted the Bears their victory, a touchdown. It was the last score of the game midway In the last period. Detroit's Clark piloted his team to a touchdown and the lead In the first quarter.

Edgar in the third period to be exact, he twice dropped behind the line and kicked perfect goals from placement. One of these was from the 34-yard line, a kick that provided one of the highlights of the game. On two other occasions he dropped back to kick, once in an attempt to add the extra point after touchdown, and once to try for a field goal. Both attempts failed when the Lions charged through and blocked the kicks.

The Wings were unable to crack the Maroons' rockbound defense until the last 10 minutes when Ebbie Goodfellow counted during a scramble around the net. Maroons tightened their hold on second berth in the Canadian section standing through their victory, while the Wings were still trailing Rnston by a couple of points in third place in the American sec tion. Smith Drops Hot One The first period was scoreless, but near the halfway mark in the second, Stew Evans, Maroons' de-fenseman, who used to play for Detroit, went up on a lone rush, scrambled through the Detroit d-fense and back-handed a shot into the caee behind Norm Smith Just eight seconds later jimmy Ward slammed a hot one at Smith on a double passing play with Js'orthcott and Haynes. The Detroit goalie got his hand to the puck but it dropped out of his hand into the cage.

Facing a shutout, the Wings put on the pressure in the third period. They had five men up the ice in a long and sustained siege of the Maroons' cage. A minor penalty to hig Allan Shields for charging little Cooncy Weiland aided the Wings. With Mroons shorthunded they had an advantage and were quick to capitalize on it. Ebbie Goodfellow fired a sizzling shot from 20 feet out and the puck dropped between Alex Connell and the goal post.

Herb Lewis and Johnny Sorrell drew assists on the play which started in a long scramble inside the Maroons' de-l tense area. Wings Always Busy Sturdy Cy Wentworth was the standout of the night with a sterling display of defensive work mingled with fast and dangerous rushes. The Maroons looked better than at any other home performance this season, back checking closely and keeping up a torrid pace. The Wings kept up their usual brisk hustling style of play ana never stopped trying, while Lorne Duguid, Cooncy Weiland, Tommy Anderson and Teddy Graham were outstanding. DKTROIT MONTREAL N.

London Beats Olympics, 3-1 Ouellette Scores Two for Loop Leaders, By Jack Carveth Because they did not know what to do in front of goal the Olympics were shunted deeper in the cellar of the International Hockey League at Olympia last night when they dropped a 3 to 1 decision to the London Tccumsehs before a crowd of nearly 8,000 spectators. The Olympics, somewhat patched up and limping, outplayed the league leaders in the first two pe riods, booted away a dozen scoring chances and did a complete fade-out in the last period when only the great goal-tending of John Ross Roach prevented a rout. Roach was between the posts In place of Jack Tompkins who is nursing an injured shoulder, and the veteran turned in a great game behind a weak and at times careless defense. It was a fast, hard fought battle larking only in polish. Ron Mof- fatt of the Olympics and George Lever of the Tecs engaged in fistic combat late in the first period, with Ron taking the decision, and after they had drawn major penalties, they started all over again in the penalty box.

The second fight put them on the bench for an additional 10 minutes for misconduct. The punching bee was the high spot of the game from the spectators' point of view. Roach had only six shots to handle in the first period as against twice as many for Herb Stuart in the London goal, but the Tecs cashed in on one of their chances Please Turn to Page 17 Column 4 Knox Ties Mark in Final Contest MONMOUTH, 111., Nov. 29-(A. The sons of Old Siwash trudged wearily off Wald Field today toting a share of the intercollegiate record for consecutive football beatings, the crowning blow of a 39-to-0 blistering administered by their oldest rivals, the Scots of Monmouth College.

This defeat, in the final game of the season, was the twenty-seventh straight for old Siwash, otherwise Knox College, and permits the wearers of the Purple and Gold to share "honors'' with Hobart College of Geneva, N. as the losingest team in football history. Pitt Humbles Carnegie Tech Fumbles Aid Panthers to Win, 20-0 PITTSBURGH, Nov. 29 (A. Pitt's soldiers of the stadium today charged to a 20 to 0 victory over Carnegie Tech, "the team from down the street," as 10 vet erans of many a gridiron war fired farewell salutes to the banners of bluo and gold.

Approximately 34,000 fans saw the Panthers, aided by ill-fated fumbles of the gritty Scots, score touchdowns in the first, third and final periods in the twenty-first clash between the home-town rivals since they first met in 1906. Izzy Weinstock, one of the sea son's greatest fullbacks, scored the first two touchdowns and then kicked the extra points. Herb Randour got the final tally but Uie Panthers, who made 12 first downs to Carnegie's one, could probably have added a couple of more touchdowns had they been so inclined. Mihm's Funts Halt Pitt Tech, with a do-or-die defense but an impotent attack, was overanxious at the start and Bill Spisak muffed the ball on his own 22-yard line. Mike Nicksick recovered for Pitt.

Following one first down, made another on the one-yard line on fourth down and on the next play he blasted through guard for the touchdown. In the second period the Scots fought Pitt toe-to-toe for every inch they relinquished and the dazzling punts by Joe Mihm, several soaring 50 to 60 yards from the scrimmage line, kept the blue-jerseyed Panthers in check. In this period, as throughout the game, Mihm and little 148-pound Steve Terebus played a bang-up game in the plaid backfield. It waa Terebus fumble In the third period, however, that set the stage for the second score. Flashing into the towering Pitt line at his 20-yard marker, Steve lost the leather and it bounded about crazily as half a dozen men juggled the ball and lost It Capt Charles Hartwlg finally fell on it on Carnegie's three-yard line.

Weinstock, on the second try, slammed it over.

Nov. 29 (A.P.) Pennsylvania's speedy, aggressive young football team closed Its season triumphantly today by out-scoring its old rival, Cornell, 23 to 13, in an exciting race for touchdowns on a rain-soaked gridiron. A Thanksgiving Day crowd of 45,000 saw the Quakers gallop into a 16-point lead in the first half by cashing in on all their scoring opportunities, and then survive a smashing come-back by the gallant Ithacans in the last two periods.

Apparently hopelessly licked after yielding two touchdowns and a field goal to Penn's brilliant attack, ably directed by Quarterback Frank Murray, Cornell rallied and completely outplayed the Quakers in the last half. The Ithacans tallied touchdowns in each of the last two periods and threatened to score two more with a combined running and passing attack, only to have one of their thrusts bounce back at them in the form of a 76-yard gallop for Penn's third touchd'own by Bill Shanahan, substitute back, Shanahan's dash, tne longest gain and the most spectacular play of the game, followed his interception of a pass thrown by Cornell's captain, Walter Swltzer, as the Ithacans were pounding along from Penn's 35-yard line. Aided by fine blocking, Shanahan raced unchecked up the side lines and scored the points that ended Cornell's lingering hopes of pulling the game out of the fire. Cornell came back again, however, and rushed over its second touchdown on a sustained drive of 69 yards, with Al Frederick, of El-mira, N. bucking the last half foot to score after he had alternated with Bill Condon and Jack Batten, a triple threat sophomore newcomer, in battering Penn's weary line.

This touchdown came on the last scrimmage of the game and as Cornell lined up for the try for extra point, Pennsylvania paid a striking tribute to one of its injured scrubs, Peter Suffredini, by sending him into the game to get his letter. Suffredini, a 133-pound back who broke his left arm nlavine with the junior varsity against Villanova this season, naa never played as a varsity man in three years on the squad.

London at Buffalo. 11 8 4 4 The Second YEARS ago the wise men of baseball discovered the need of a specialist some one player who could be relied upon to come through with a hit when it was needed to win a game. The specialists were players who could enter a game at any given moment, regardless of the situation, and more often than not break up the contest with a well placed hit. It mattered little who was pitching. As the years went by these specialists became known as pinch hitters the type of batter who could connect for a safe blow under pressure.

You've often seen these specialists, after sitting on the bench inning after inning, suddenly emerge from the dugout, stride to the plate and bust up a ball game. Well, the Chicago Bears took a page out of the baseball book yesterday, applied it to football and conquered the Detroit Lions and continued on their merry way toward the professional championship. JACK MANDERS, the big, burly back who used to rip through opposing lines for Minnesota, was the "pinch hitter" who came through for the Bears to make a nightmare of the Lions' dream of a professional title. Throughout the first period Manders sat on the bench watching his mates wage a losing struggle. He sat there while the Lions took advantage of a break an intercepted pass and went on to score a touchdown and add the extra point.

When the second period opened Manders still was on the bench. But when Gene Ron-zanl took a pass from Moles-worth over the goal line for a touchdown on the third play of the period, the "pinch hitter" made his first appearance. The Bears were trailing, 6 to 7, and the point after touchdown was needed badly. This single point may have been the difference between victory and defeat. So the Bears called on their "pinch hitter," the man who could provide the needed point.

Out from the bench ran Manders. Cool and collected, in the heat of one of the most bitter battles ever waged on the gridiron, he calmly booted the ball between the uprights to square the count. THAT was Manders' first "pinch hit" of the game. But he was not finished. Later, Londo8, world's heavyweight wrestling champion at the Naval Armory, Dec.

7. He though it appropriate that he should have bagged his Turk on Thanksgiving Day and he didn't seem to mind the fact that he had to miss the opportunity to have his holiday dinner at home in order to do it. Mr. Londes was quite pleased with his feat in signing Yousoff, for it gave him the opportunity to announce a battle between a Greek and a Turk. The Greeks and the Turks have been battling for hundreds of years but they always seem able to work up new enthusiasm for each new battle.

Yousoff is not the traditional Terrible Turk of wrestling lore I owevcr. It is true. Mr. Londes savs, that he is a nephew of the late Yousoff Hussane, famed Terrible Turk, who was pulled underneath the water by his own gold during ship disaster. He is also a son appreciate the important part he played in the victory.

He was a "pinch hitter" who came through when he was needed most. i Manders' performance takes on added luster because of the conditions under which he was forced to use his kicking ability. Each time he was called upon to deliver, his team was behind. The first time, as mentioned, the score was 7 to 6 against the Bears. The second time it was 16 to 7, and the third time it was 16 to 10.

But this never bothered the former Gopher. He Plcnue Turn to Page 16 Column 6 marched 65, 63 and 66 yards. Only twice was Vandy able to Invade Alabama territory. The Commodores tried vainly to gain through the air as Rand Dixon, the triple threat halfback, fired passes in all directions only to have the ball hawklne Alabama secondary break them up or inter cept mem. Taking the ball on its own 35-yard line, Alabama drove to its initial score, Jimmy Angelich going around end to the goal from the four-yard stripe.

A few minutes later the Tuscaloosa terrors marched from their own 37-yard stripe for another touchdown, Howell crossing the goal on a wide sweep of 21 yards around end. As the Becond period got under way, Howell took a Vanderbilt punt and raced down field 42 yards to the Commodores' 24. Joe Demyano-vich and Angelich picked up two first downs and the former plowed through the center of the line for a touchdown from the one-yard mark. Alabama added its fourth touchdown early in the third period. It came after the most spectacular run or tne conflict, as Angelich leaped into the air to intercept a pass from Dixon on his 30 and dashed down a clear field to the goal.

As the final period started, the Tide had the ball on its 34-yard line and from that point paraded for its last with Howell cutting through left guard for the touchdown from the 15-yard marker.

But the second period scarcely was under way before Keith Molesworth completed a 14-yard pass to Ronzanl for a Bear touchdown. Jack Manders converted, matching Dutch's dropkick, and the score was deadlocked. Mr. Gutowsky Again But not for long. A few minutes later the Lions were ripping the right side of the Bear line apart and Presnell kicked 9 34-yard place-kick squarely between the Bear bars.

The Lions, with their offensive throttle wide open, came right back after taking a 10 to 7 lead and smashed their way to the Bear three-quarter yard line. Gutowsky plunged over for his second touchdown and although Hewitt blocked Prcsnell's attempt to convert, the ball game appeared to be on ice for the Lions, enjoying a 16 to 7 lead at the half. Then came Manders, Nagurski alternate and a worthy one, in the second half and three breaks which definitely lost the game for the De-trolters. The Bears blocked a punt and Manders kicked a field goal from the 14-yard line, cutting down the Lion lead to 16 to 10. Five minutes later and the Bears were in position for another score after George Corbett's smart return of a Clark punt.

Manders place-kicked hia second goal from the 34-yard line and the score was 16 to 13. Then the third break. Zeller intercepted Presnell's pass near mid-field and ran to the Lion four-yard stripe. A short pass, Nagurski to Hewitt, netted the touchdown that beat the Lions. It was Zeller, Intercepting a pass, that sank the Lion hopes more than any other play in the game.

29 (A. One of the most powerful teams ever to don the Crimson of the University of Alabama staged a touchdown parade this afternoon, burying a vastly weaker Vanderbilt University team under a score of 34 to 0. Knifing through the Commodore line almost at will, tearing aroundJ its enas ana snagging occasional aerial heaves fired by the great Millard (Dixie) Howell, Alabama completed its season with nine consecutive triumphs and in ringing up its seventh Southeastern Conference victory established a claim to at least a share of the title. Hopes of the Crimson tide for an invitation to represent the East and South against Stanford in the Rose Bowl classic were strengthened by an avalanche of Touchdowns in proof of the red regiment's power. The contest brought to a close the great coaching career of CoL Dan McGugin, who now retires to the office of athletic director after coaching Commodore teams since 1904.

Alabama's five touchdowns and four extra points sent Frank Thomas' charge into the front as the Nation's leading scorer among the major teams with 287 points. How It outclassed Vanderbilt is revealed In Alabama's 18 first downs to the commodores' three and a total yardage of 226 to 64. The Crimson tide scored in every period, twice in the opening frame, and for three of the touchdowns of Yousoff Mahmout, another great Turkish matman. But from his actions one would never suspect him to be a subject of the land once ruled by the late Abdul the Damned. Mr.

Londes' Turk is a gentleman and there is nothing terrible about him. But he knows how to wrestle, as he bas proved in past appearances in Detroit. Yousoff has wrestled here four times and has yet to be defeated. He has beaten Jack Zarnas, John Ka- lan, njverett Marshall and the mountainous "We Willie" Davis. He conquered "Wee Willie" In his last start and won the cheers of the crowd by the business like manner in which he did it.

Promoter Londes did not announce who would appear in the other bouts on his program of Dec. 7. He seemed to think he had done enough on Thanksgiving Day when he bagged his Turk. He will announce his other matches as aoon as they are made. Londes Gets Turk on Turkey Day Indiana Star Beats Ottey in A.A.U.
