Roger Realizes Mistakes.

n EONROE HUNTER and Difen-
,lN baugh used to make a great
pro combination when the big
fellow held down the Indian Spring job.
They won a flock of matches played
at Indian Spring, taking on all the
best and losing only one contest in
about a dozen big-time affairs. Now
that Roger has developed so fast that
team of Peacock and Difenbaugh
could step out and take on almost
any professional duo with more than a
good chance to win. Certainly they
are the best in the amateur-pro field
in Maryland, as they have proven
many times. And they wouldn't do so
badly in bigger competition either II
they got geared up to go places.
Roger Peacock's game hasn't carried
him as far this year as it should
have done. The youngster has made
a few mistakes, but they have been
mostly of the head and not of the
mechanics. He knows it, and no one
feels worse about his failure to qualify
for the national than Roger himself.
He will correct these mistakes next
year, and the struggle between him
and Gene Vinson in the coming
matches should be worth going long

"a yEW YORK, October 18.-Those
loud detonations you'll hear
v around dusk Saturday will be
the exploding of at least four
of foot balls undefeated and united
records at Pittsburgh, Birmingham,
New York and Cambridge. =
Barring ties which would cut both
ways, either Pitt or Minnesota will
walk the plank of defeat in Pitt
Stadium. At Birmingham it will be
either Alabama or Tennessee whose
record is smeared. Columbia and
NAVY stake perfect records at New
York. Harvard and Holy Cross at
Cambridge.
Incidentally, it is significant tip
of on a topsy-turvy season that there
are so few major games involving un-
defeated and united teams on SO early
a date in the campaign. Ordinarily,
there would be a dozen or more, but
the string of upsets that started WIN
the opening of the season has oeci-
mated the ranks of schools which
ordinarily wait until late in Novem-
ber, it at all, before joining the list
of the defeated.
If you don't believe it, take look
at the Big Ten where the fun has
barely begun yet. Michigan, Purdue
indiana. Iowa, Ohio State and North
western all have been walloped at
least once. Or the Pacific Coast Con-
ference, where Washington Huskles
alone have escaped defeat or tie.
