Today's Sport Parade
By Henry McLemore United Press Stan Correspondent)

of us noticed the difference. And my eyes, Q pair of baby blue numbers which I prize highly, finished the trip resembling an archery target, so thickly were they clustered with feathers, dyed Q deep red and stamped with Q large IN"
 The fad of wearing feathers to football games may have passed out in other cities, but in Lincoln every chicken within Q radius of 100 miles gives It's ell every Saturday rlorn- ing. They have become 50 accus- toned to this acrifice that they walk in from coops soon as the family they live with has finished break- fast and nioult without even 90 much as Q prompting cluck.
 I was greatly surprised this fnorn- ing when I awoke to find c large and dowagerish looking Rhode 1s- land red hen on the head of my bed. I promptly took the pledge, called my host and demanded an explanation.
 "That's Martha" he said. "She will provide you with 0 feather for your hat"
 He later explained that Martha had been yielding Nebraska feathers since the last time the Cornhuskers beat Pittsburgh, which meant that Martha was exactly fifteen years old. And yet she has never seen Q game herself.
 If that IS year streak isn't ended today I plan to leave Lincoln im- mediately after the game, for I am Q tender hearted man and grief grieves me. I don't believe I could stand watching an entire munich pality, with water works, pubMc parks, bus system, and no bonded debt, grieve openly. And that's what Lincoln will do if the Partners win, for there is no city on earth. not even Ninevah and Tyre, which holds It's moleskin warriors 90 close to It's heart. When Q Nebraska punt is blocked, Lincoln, beginning with the mayor and ending with the bronze statue of the buffalo at Pio- neer park, walls and weeps. When Q Nebraska end is knocked out of c play or Q reverse is stopped at tha line of scrimmage, the heart of every citizen is renched with such vio- lence that the sound, on clear days, can Do heard in Omaha. And as soon as 1t is heard in Omaha oil Omaha sets up an anguished moan for the Cornhuskers are almost as beloved there as here. Omaha's moan spreads to Grand Island, and from Grand Island to North Platte, and from North Platte right on aroun dthe state, until 1t finally comes back to rest in the stadium.
 I'm also leaving town immediate yly if Nebraska wins, for if it does Halloween night in an insane asy- lum will seem lnke the Armistice day pause in c deaf and dumb school.

Clara Unbeaten And Untied Meets St. Mary Todd
Schneider Gets Default Over MOx The Panther

Though the final bout wound up in Q default victory for Hans Schneider over Max the Panther, Q young, able, rough and ready matmail, some i,2O0 wrestling pat- rons were well.entertained last night ct Buckingham hall by Pro- lessor Joe Zonsin's troupe of corn- ica who mix arm locks, toe holds and funny facial expressions so well that there are few dull moments on the i've bout program. The Panther, an ex-6pringfield college boy, came from outside the ring to fiatten Schneider for the first fall, and the German won the second after 17 minutes, q kick to the mid- riff drawing blood and causing Dr. Joseph elavin to put an end to the bout for the evening, after an examination of the Panther's in- jury.
 pr. Martin Merkur of South Africa and New York held Maurice Leo Cavell even for a half hour in one of the liveliest bouts of the cards, in which many wrestling holds were made and broken and the patrons generally pleased with the combination of speed and abil- ity exhibited by the two able 100 pounders.
 James J. McMullen, ct POP pounds was handled rather easily by the 222 pound Masked Terror, who was fiahby but agile and powerful enough to toss McMullen around and around. About the same situa- ton took place when bully Joe Noracki of Poland slammed Gentle man George Meyenoff to the mat in IS minutes or so with c crotch and body slam. Tony Milano who shed his mask of last winter pinned Pat Reilly in 14 minutes after som shouting by Reilly that almost woke up Mfr. Jack Freney who was having Q bit of . nap be- tween bouts which he announced to the complete satisfaction of all concerned.

 And Miss Wheeler would have to give mo an A-plus and Q respite from dusting the erasers and wash- ing the boards for the answer, too, because Lincoln is the largest city in the world.

New York, Nov. l4-(UP)-Sixto Escobar of Puerto Rico wore his world bantamweight boxing crown at an even jauntier angle today af- ter Q successful one-round defense of his title against Carlos 0ndian) Quintana of Panama.
 Sixto's right fist crashed onto Quintana's jaw after one minute and 49 seconds of the scheduled IS round battle. The full-blooded Cholo Indian dropped and was counted out.
 Ended almost before 1t began, the bout attracted more than 1000 spec tators who wildly cheered the little Puerto nican's retention of hia chaxDnship won just year ago fre1A Lou Salica.
 Quintana, who boasted 65 victor les in his 75 previous fights, made a good battle of 1t until E.scobar un- loosed that right. The Indian tore out after the champion at the bell but Escobar connected with a hard left hook to Carlos chin that slow cd the Panaman down.
 The knockout punch came with out warning. They had just broken from clinch when seemingly from out of nowhere Escobar's right fist whistled up inside Quintana's arm and crashed on the Indians chin. It was all over. With the count at seven he tried to get up, but that dynamite right had paralyzed him. He sank back to the canvas with Q foolish grin on his face.

 This Season

Leo Paquin, Ed Franco. Nat Pierce, Alex Wojciechowicz, Vince Lombardi, Al Babartsky and Johnny Druxe, known throughout the foot bell Armament as Fordham's "sev- en Blocks of Granite" probably the greatest collegiate football forward wall ever welded together, need no Further proof of their mettle after the work they have exhibited In their four major games to date, yet the statistics culled from their mighty performances are interest ing enough to be scanned.
 A sum total of fifteen first downs by rushing--a net total yardage Of 267, an average of l.57 yards in l7O rushes---no touchdowns-the com plete shackling of four of the most Representative attacks in the land the holding of footballs greatest ground -attacker, the Pitt Partners, to Q net yardage of l20, an aver age of 2 and a half yards a crack following Southern Methodist and St. Mary's less than yard average on attempted running plays--stop- ping the Mustangs with only two first downs permitted by rushing; allowing the Galloping Gaels no first downs by rushing-holding Marshall Goldberg and Johnny Drake to less than four yard av- craze per attempted run-stopping the fast-stepping Cecil Isbell to such an extent that he averaged less than a yard per attempted rush such feats as these come to light after a cursory examination of the figures attendant upon the four ma jor games Fordham has played with s. M. U., St. Marys, Pitt and Pur- due.
 Week after week, the Ram line has been called upon to squelch def- mite threats. In the Southern Methodist encounter 1t was a good runner named Meyers, who waited his chance to run of tackle should Fordham's forwards concentrate too greatly on rushing the passer. St. Mary's had Groux and Sill, danger ous carriers: Pitt, of course, pre- scented Goldberg. Larue and Stapu- lis, and Purdue had Drake and 1s- bell They were all bottled up for sixty minutes.

NAUCATUCK AND
 WEST HAVEN MEET

Naugatuck, Nov. l4-Despite the walioping the Naugatuck high school football team received last Saturday from Crosby, local higf school students are hopeful that the Garnet and Grey will hang up it' second victory this afternoon wher 1t meets West Haven high at Rec reation field at 2:30.
 The Naugatuck team hasn'l shown much stuff this season but advance reports don't rate the vis' tors very highly either. There is little doubt 1t will be a closer foot ball game than last Saturdays mas Sacre.
 The Ansonia high game or Thanksgiving day will end 6 dB. astrous season for Naugatuck, and the main efforts of the Garnet vii be to hold the down-valley eleven rated among the best in the state to . comparatively low score.
