University Of Indiana, hitherto
this season just a door mat for
the teams Of the Big Ten Confer.
ence served notice on University
Of Maryland that it no longer is
a soft touch. The Terps play host
to Indiana at Baltimore on Satur-
day.
1t is always something of an
occasion when a Big Ten team
comes East, even a little Big Ten
team, such at Indiana.
Indiana, coached by Bo Nc.
MILAN, former ace of Centre Col.
lege, turned on the steam in the
second period, marching IS yards
or thereaboutS for a score. In
this drill for the last white line,
aerials and power plays were
mixed in a display Of sound and =
strategic football.
Maryland has come back in fine
style after its experience with
University Of North Carolina and
is confident Of its ability to beat
the HoosierS. The late game drive
that won for the Terps against
Univrsiy of Virginia on Saturday
was enough to justify full conf
dence in the boys. Guckeyson
and Ellison had the power and
speed necessary to produce the
necessary touchdowns.
Saved Hawkeyes
Skipping back to the corn belt
for just a moment or two, it is
timely to note that two Negro
stars of Iowa saved the Hawk
eyes from defeat. Ozzie SIM
mons, the great halfback Of
Iowa, ran So yards for a touch
down and Homer Harris blocked
Indiana's attempt to kick q goal
from touchdown.
And speaking Of coming games,
West Virginia Wesleyan rose in
its wrath and smcte DaviS-Elkins.
West Virginia Wesleyan - the
Bobcats in footballs geological
gardens-comes here on Satur-
day to mingle with Catholic Uni
versity. It may be said in pass
ing that DaviS-Elkins will be
here on Friday. night to battle
the Colonials Of George Wash
ington.
Jim Pixlee assures Washington
fans that the same reckless gam
bling for touchdowns that fea-
tured the strife with Rice, will
mark the games for the rest of
the season.
Hopes Fade
If the slightest hope Of cham.
pionship rating lurked in the
hearts of the Colonials in the
beginning Of this year it has
jolly well faded by now. But
they can play interesting foot
ball, and Pixlee says they will.
Davis Elkins and West Virginia
Wesleyan both moving in here this
week will give the fans some inter.
esting food for discussion. II by
some chance Davis ElkinS beats
George Washington and Catholic
University wallopS the Bobcats,
what will that prove?
On the other hand, will it prove
something if George Washington
wallops Davis Elkins in one sided
manner and Catholic University
is held to a low score?
It won't prove anything, but 1t
won't stop partisan chatter. May
be if we have enough Of this
partisan talk, enough Of these
arguments, it will aid in bringing
the local teams together in an
intra city tournament that will
fill Griffith Stadium or any other
available stadium.
Other Climaxes
There were enough story book
finishes on Saturday to fill the
hearts and imagination Of football
fans. OF course, the climax to
the nations game was reached in
Columbus when the Irish Of Notre
Dame defeated the Buckeyes. But
Villanova sent the crowd home
raving when Andy Stopper cut
loose a winning pass. Charley
Armstrong defeated Army with q
forward heave that produced the
winning touchdown for Mississippi
State.
Syracuse defeated Penn State
in the last minute on Rickmark's
pass to Albanese. A pass Coffee
to Barrett enabled Louisiana State
to beat Auburn while Baton Rouge
went wild in glee.
There were others, but these
games will stand as head liners
for a thrill filled afternoon.
Incidentally, may your agent
stand up and bow low for an
error that appeared in this space
yesterday. Baylor was listed as
an mbeaten team, when most
emphatically and concluSively,
Baylor was beaten. Southern
Methodist is the unbeaten team
in Texas, and apologies are offered
to any S. M. U. fans whose feel.
ings might have been ruffled. =
