Triple Deadlock Possible.
BY the same token, the Bears,
with the highest-geared offensive
in the leagues history, should crush
the Cardinals in the last game of
the season for both teams. This
would give the Bears a record of
eight victories and three defeats.
If Green Bay wins both its re-
naming games, it will bag the
Western crown, but if it splits even,
it will tie. If Detroit wins both it's
games, one of them against the
Packers, it will bring about three

Victory Over Ohio Stote
No Upset by Cornell

The defeat of Ohio State by Cor
nell was tabled as another upset,
since no Ivy League team was sup
posed to have a chance against the
most powerful array in the Big Ten.
AS the season advanced, however,
the outcome at Columbus looked
less and less an upset. Granting
the power of the Ohio State team
and leaving room for argument as
to whether or not Cornell would
win again if the teams were to play
today, Cornell has clinched its own
position among the top teams of
the country. Unbeaten and united,
it swept through the Ivy League up
to the Penn game today.
1t has won easily and won the
hard way-as it did against Colum-
bia and Colgate. 1t has one of
the finest lines and one of the finest
sets of backs in the country-and.
in Carl Snavely, one of the great
coaches of the era.
In short, it ranks with the best

tory at Columbus was not the upset
it seemed to be at the moment.

Coach Gus Henderson, like my
self, has had any great trouble
in working up his players to the
right pitch for tomorrow's game
here. AS everyone knows by now,
it's an even more crucial game for
the Lions than it is for the Red
skins, as defeat for them would
be disastrous.
AS for the Redskins, can see
that the boys are taking the

through previous observations of
Gus Henderson's Tulsa teams
against George Washington.
One man we're going to have
to watch out for especially is
Lloyd Cardwell, Detroit's 6-foot-3
200-pound pass-receiving half
back. AS a matter of fact, con-
slider him equally as dangerous
receiver as Green Bays Don
Hutson. And how much the
Lions depend on him for gains
through the air can be realized
by statistics which show him to
have picked up nearly three times
as much. yardage on passes as
their crack end, Monk Moscrip.
Cardwell has caught something
Like u passes this year for q to-

tai of 335 yards, while Moscrip
has gained only 1913 yards on 13
catches.
The Lions, like the Redskins,
don't depend on any one passer,
but have three capable singers
in Dwight Sloan, Johnny Pingel
and Darrell Tully - none of
whom was with them last year.
I look for a great game, which,
ever team wins. Because of the
spectacular offenses of both
teams, it's a case of where one
team might win by five touch
downs one day and lose by the
same margin the next. Or it
might be an equally free-scoring
game on both sides.

Last week Bobby Offers wound up
his high school footballing at Kings

With 26 touchdowns, made largely
by flashy broken field runs, and
eight successful kicks from place

of his undefeated teams 1873 points.
He's also an excellent pass thrower.

Boy Seeking D. c. Laurel
Given Lesson by Neal
In Intercity Bout

Danny Petro, long-armed fly
weight from Police Boys Club No.
5, enhanced his chances of winning
the District A. A. U. championship
in that class by the unorthodox
process of getting himself knocked
out in an exhibition bout last night
at Turner's Arena.
A swarthy youngSter with a shock
of coal-black hair and stinging
punch encased in his right mitten,
Petro was we'll ahead on points 60
ing into the third round of his bout
with Gordon Neal of Baltimore.
Neal was a southpaw, always bad
medicine to righthander, but
Danny was doing all right, boxing
cautiously and scoring frequently
with an overland right.
Petro Gets Careless.
Then early in the third and fatal
round Danny thought he saw an
opening for a finishing punch. He
cranked up the right and prepared
to let young Neal have it, but the
next thing he knew he was parked
on his chin in the middle of the ring
and in most embarrassing position
for a fighter. While Danny was
telegraphing the right Neal slipped
him wicked left to the button with
decidedly bad effect on Danny.
Petro got up twice before Referee
Ray Bowen halted it and probably
could have continued the struggle,
but it was better to call a halt and
he smilingly acknowledged Meals
victory. Next Friday night Petro

ing with Baugh and Todd.
Skins Need Victory.
Important, but not nearly as
crucial to them as 1t is to the Lions,
who must win or drop out of the
Western Division race, the Red
skins have studied their own sit
uation with respect to the Eastern
championship so much that they
can give you the lowdown no mat
ter what happens to them or the
Giants tomorrow.
If both the Redskins and Giants
win or lose, next Sundays final re-
suit at New York will decide the
Eastern championship, barring a
tie score.
If the Redskins win tomorrow
while the Giants are losing, the
Indians would need only to tie the
New Workers to regain their title.
The same is true if the Giants get
no better than draw with the
Brooklyn Dodgers tomorrow.
If the Redskins lose to the Lions
while the Giants are beating the
Dodgers, then the pressure will be
on the Marshallmen and they will
have to beat the New Yorkers even
to tie for the sectional champion
ship.
Cardwell Is Lions Star.
On the record, there seems little
chance of the Giants doing any
thing but walloping the Dodgers,
despite the close call given them
by their across-the-river neighborS
in October. In which event it well
behooves the Redskins to whip the
Lions.
Talk goes around that the Lions
Lloyd (Cardy) Cardwell is the man
to watch against the Redskins. The

of the fastest backs in the Western
Division and exceptionally danger

An all-America selection at Ne

FOUNDER is said to hit with the speed
and power of an express train and
cuts in sharply outside of tackle if
the opposing end is not taken out
of the play. They say he's doing
just as good ball-carrying job this
year as Bill Shepherd, his teammate
and ex-Western Maryland great,
who currently is the leagues fourth
leading ground-g gamer.

Anderson's Work at Iowa
Looks Seasons Best

Some great coaching jobs have
been done this year, but, undoubt-
edly, the main prize goes to DR..
Eddie Anderson at Iowa. Last year
Iowa beat a pitifully weak Chicago
team, got an unexpected tie with
Purdue-and lost every other game
it played.
This year DR.. Anderson, swinging
west from Holy Cross, took that
oft-beaten Iowa team, shook it up,
polished it, gave it some new plays,
fired 1t with new spirit-and beat
South Dakota, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Purdue, Notre Dame and Minnesota,
losing only to Michigan, and was
favored to win from Northwestern
today.
Two coaches, stepping into new
jobs, were in tough spots, having to
follow outstanding men. One was
Joe Sheeketski, who followed DR..
Anderson at Holy Cross. The other
was Charley Bowser, on the hottest
spot of all, following DR.. John Balm
Sutherland at Pitt. Both had excel
lent seasons. Holy Cross, beaten
only by l.. S. U. in one of the seasons
most astonishing upsets, was scored
on in only one other game. Pitt
lost to Duquesne, Fordham and Ne
braska but knocked off two of the
stronger teams in the country in
Duke and Carnegie Tech.

Bill Lahti-regarded generally as
the smoothest right wing in the
Northern Ontario Hockey Associa-
ton last year, Lahti comes to the
Eagles recommended highly, as evi-
denced by his selection on the N. Q.
H. A. all-star team.
A native of Noranda, Bill starred
with that city's junior team in the
1878 season, performing with
Paul Courteau, now an Eagle team
mate. He graduated to the Noranda
senior team last year and garnered
more fame before being picked up
BY the Eagles.
Light, but fast and tricky, the %
year-old, 148-pound Lahti is cop
per miner in the summer months.
His lack of heft is a handicap in
rough going, but his slick naneuvers
and speed often leave the burlier
boys behind.
