n yEW YORK, Nov. 11.-This is
no spot for all-America armi-
stice. particularly with this
a weeks roundup revealing the
exploits of many previously unsung
heroes as we'll as the latest bids Of
established collegiate luminaries for
all-star fame and recognition.
On the West Coast, for the first
time this season, CALIFORNIA; mighty
Golden Bears yielded team as we'll as
individual honors to rival array,
Washingtons Huskies. Though escap-
ing with nothing more damaging to
their prestige than a ScorelesS tie, the
Bears were somewhat manhandled.
An outstanding individual reason
for this supset, our Coast scouts report,
was Bud Erickson, Washingtons senior
center, who outplayed his renowned
rival, Bob Herwig, and generally
raised havoc with the Bears attack
Erickson called for everything from a
five 10 seven man line in check
ing CALIFORNIA; hitherto unstoppable
attack
Vic Markov, at tackle, and Frank
Peters, Chicago boys playing end for
Washington, were other conspicuous
performers. Peters was credited with
being the first wingman this season
to nail Vic Bottari, f1ashy California
back, behind the line of scrimmage.
Lain Gets Rice on Toes.
THE chief explanation for Rice's
spectacular comeback in the
Southwest Conference appears to be
Ernie Lain, 212-pound halfback. In
iured and kept out of his teams first
three games, in which Rice failed to
tally point Lain has been the spark
plug in three straight victories. Rated
the best conference blocker, Lain also
is star passer, completing losses for
three touchdowns last Saturday
against Arkansas.
Hugh Wolfe of Texas. backfield star
of q team that had been operating in
reverse for weeks. enjoyed the heroic
role for the first time when his field
goal provided the margin of victory
over previously unbeaten Baylor
In the Big Ten, Michigan's Stark
Fitchie tailed the two belated touch
downs that enabled the wolverines to
beat Chicago and register their third
straight one-point triumph. An IL
linois bsckfield sub. Tony Mazeika, led
the scoring drive that upset North
western. Hero of Indiana's conquest
of Ohio State was George Miller, who
played decisive role at center. de-
spite fractured thumb, and kicked a
field goal.
Three Great Backs Star.
THREE OF the outstanding all
America backfeld candidates, Clint
Frank of Yale, Whizzer White of Colo
RADIO and Marshall Goldberg of Pitts
burgh, turned in spectacular perform
ences last Saturday. Frank rushed
over all three of Yale's touchdowns.
White reminded Rocky Mountain OBJ
servers of Dutch Clark in his palmiest
days by tallying all II points for Colo
RADIO against Utah, while Goldberg was
the sparkplug of Pitts power attack
against Notre Dame.
White celebrated his biggest day of
the season on the gridiron, after
achieving Phi Beta Kappa honors in
the classroom. The Colorado star is
among the Nations high scorers, with
79 points.
For the second straight week the
passing skill and all-around play of
Wilmeth Sidat-Singh, dusky Syracuse
backfield star, featured an. Orange
triumph over Western Reserve. Column
bias Sid Luckman, even though on the
losing side against Navy, was the back
field ace of the fray. Bill Osmanski of
Holy Cross, hampered earlier by in
turies, proved to Colgate's annoyance
that he rates with the hardest driving
backs in the game.
