Huskies String A Wins.

VOU may have heard something
= about the University of Wash
ington's winning streak, during the
regime of Gilmour Dobie as head
coach. It's in the books that the
huskies rolled up A consecutive wins
from 1908 to 1914, but it hardly COM
pares with the best marks, before Or
since, for the simple reason that it
was not compiled exclusively in college
competition.
Those Dobie "Juggernauts" not only
confined their competition to a linn
tied area in the days before foot ball
assumed "big league proportions on
the West Coast. but their streak in
cluded 9 victories over high school
teams and total of IA games against
non-college opponents.
The University of Michigan's IA
nous "point-a minute" aggregations,
at the turn of the century, achieved
a stretch of Sc games without defeat,
from 1901 to 1905. The Wolverines
reeled off 20 consecutive victories,
were tied by Minnesota in 1908, then
triumphed in their next 26 contests.
So-called modern or postwar foot
ball includes a remarkable record by
the University Of CALIFORNIA; won
der" teams, coached by Andy Smith.
The Golden Bears went through so
games without tasting defeat, from
1920 to 1925. The longest victory
stretch, however, consisted of 18
games. There were three ties in this
record, which was prime factor in
stimulating the tremendous West
Coast gridiron developments of the
last decade.

ARMY OFFICERS CAN

War Department Permits Re
newal of Contracts if Request
Is Made by Area Head,

INQUIRY elicits the interesting fact
that Maj. Ralph Sasse, Maj. Bif
Jones and other Army officers coach
ing foot ball at civilian Institutions
where, of course, they are also doing
r. o. T. c. service-need not neces-
sarily leave the classic shades Of
learning when their present coaching
contracts have expired.
Prevailing idea has been that, be-
cause of a War Department order,
such retirement was mandatory, but
now it appears that the question OF
leaving or staying on resides in the
authority Of the corps area COM
manders in districts where the OFF,
GERS are teaching foot ball.
If they are willing the coaches
should make new contracts and the
coaches desire to do so, then, accord
ing to the writer's understanding, the
War Department will not interfere.

likely to be the basis of a comparison

Navy knows something about Jack

and expects the strongest running at

newcomer. Ken Sandbach is another

against Navy last year and he is the
teams best pasSer, while Chick Kauf-

YALE Of EIGHTIES

FIocking Victories Today
Much Tougher Than in
TurtIe-Neck Times.
BY ALAN GOULD,

n YEW YORK, OCTOBER 2Z.-Wm-
nj ming streaks are much tougher
to compile in present. day
major college foot ball than
they were back in the days of the
turtle-neck jerseys and chrysanthe-
mum haircuts.
That's why there's so much luster
attached to the current streak of the
Minnesota gophers, who have won 20
in a row and have gone through 27
consecutive games without defeat IN
big league competition.
Bernie Biermans boys still have
few laps to 60, however, before they
touch either the ancient or modern
records for non-losing performances
Of the marathon type.
It's a fact that the gopherS have
equaled the 'Notre Dame record" The
Fighting Irish" of 1919-21 registered
20 consecutive triumphs. That mark
was equaled in 1929-3l, including the
last two unbeaten teams coached by
Knute K. Rockne.
The all-time all-America winning
streak, so far as this writer's diligent
research reveals, was set by the sturdy
men of Yale away back in the elegant
eighties" The Ellis of 1859 ran up
a stretch of 48 straight victories.
They thought nothing of taking on
q dozen opponents in season back
in those times, meeting some foes
twice or three times. There was no
forward pass, radio or ballyhoo, but
the game was on the rock 'em and
sock 'em" basis. The competition in
certain club, as well as college circles,
was tough enough to make Yale's
performance embellish the pages OF
gridiron history, as it does.

Test of Backfields.

.NIAVY'S first-string backfield Ger
tainly equals that of Princeton
in versatility, and the game will be a
test of their comparative strength.
Sneed Schmidt, Bill Ingram or Bob
Antrim are dangerous ball carriers,
and any of the trio may break loose
any time. Frank Case also can carry
the ball, but as the signal caller, he
seldom does.
Each of the four Is a good passer,
with Case and Ingram probably a
little better, while Antrim is the surest
pass receiver on the team. Schmidt,
Antrim or Ingram can punt, and will
match their toes against Kaufman
Ingram also is good drop-kicker and
has scored extra points in this way,
but has not yet tried a field goal He
may break through in this line in the
Princeton game.
There is little doubt that Navy's
game will open up this time. and some
more of its aerial fireworks may be
expected.

EASY SAILING OVER.
FOR LAYDEN TEAM.
South Bend Still Hard Put
to Determine Strength of
1886 Machine.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

DA RhENSAo IoSvLn
LINER LAYDEN, the thin man
~ of Notre Dame, will be obliged
to show whatever he has up
the sleeve Saturday. Maybe
it's only an elbow, as Mr.. Layden has
been arguing ever since June gradua-
ton, when, with tears in his eyes, he
saw couple Of very swell backfields
trot of the Notre Dame campus for
the last time. Maybe Layden has a
good foot ball team tucked under his
cuff, but, one way or the other, he
must come out into the open in Squir-
rel Hill Stadium, Pittsburgh.
Old Notre Dame men-and you
never need walk farther than the cor
ner to locate several-are quite at sea
as to the caliber of Layden's 1896
team. Reports are that the Irish"
looked eager and capable against Car
negie Tech, sluggish against WASH
ington and good against Wisconsin.
While none of these three games are
real test, one is obliged to rate Notre
Dame as a better than average team.
The test comes Saturday.
Pitt Still Ambitious.
DITTSBURGH will bounce back for
this game, for the Notre Dame
blue always infuriates the Partners.
Pitt players likely took Duquesne too
lightly, even if DR.. Jock Sutherland
did not. That defeat dimmed the
Panthers' Rose Bowl aspirations, but
did not completely extinguish them.
Teams have been invited to Pasadena
after losing a game. so Pittsburgh still
has hopes, and those hopes will rise or
fall against Notre Dame.
On form the Panthers must be given
an edge over the Irish" The line
measures a bit stronger and the
Irish" have no tackles to match Ma
tisi and Daniell-in fact, you'll search
considerable time to find two better
anywhere. Matisi and Daniel COM
pletely wrecked Ohio States pass at
tack by spending most Of the after
noon in the Buckeye backfield. Notre
Dame may hold those huskies in line,
but it is doubtful. Daddio, Souchak
and Hoffman will match O'Neil and
Zwers, the Irish" flankers, and Adams
and Hensley have defensive edge on
any of the Notre Dame centers. The
strong points of the Notre Dame line
are the guards, and there would be no
swap of Lautar and Kuharich for
Glassford and Dalle-Tezze. The Pan
thers also muster more all-around
power in the backfield, where Patrick
and Goldberg are the spearheads on
attack.
Layden May Pull Surprice.
CTILL one believes Pittsburgh will
have difficult time winning from
the Irish. So far, Pitt has played a
stolid, crushing, mechanical type of
foot ball. That, was not good enough
to win from Duquesne, which plays
strict Notre Dame pattern. 1t may
not be good enough against the Raid
ers, for it is improbable the Irish line
can be cut to pieces as was done
Evening star., 1936-10-22

against Ohio State. The Panthers will
need some passing. and that Is. the
riddle DR.. Sutherland has up his long
sleeve. One also suspects the Panth-
ers will need a pass defense, for the
Irish can and will pitch.
There is a suspicion that Layden
may pull a surprise in his lineup
against Pittsburgh. Since mid-Sep-
tember he has been drilling Joe Ruetz,
guard, at quarterback. Andy Pupils
has been the starting quarter, while
Ruetz has been learning. but Andrew
is too fine a ball carrier to sacrifice
permanently as a blocker.
Have No Rose Bowl Dream.
IT WOULD surprise no one to find
Pupils bobbing up at left half
against the Panthers, with the large
and hard Ruetz doing the bowling at
quarterback. That is just guess, but
it is evident the Irish must get every
bit of available power on the field
against the Panthers.
Layden and his men have no Rose
Bowl dreams to sustain, for Notre
Dame has joined the Western Con-
ference in opposition to post-season
games. But the Irish have very deter
mined ideas of winning this last, tenn
porarily at least, game between the
two universities. Notre Dame has
come up easily and unchallenged for
this important duel, while the temper
of the Panther steel has been shown
in two rugged games. Pittsburgh will
be obliged to guess just little, while
the Irish realize the size Of the task
ahead.
Breaks may we'll decide the outcome
of the battle on the Pittsburgh hilltop,
and no coach ever has worked out a
satisfactory defense against the breaks
