Among the smaller colleges, Wes-

The final Wesleyan victory came
when Trinity was defeated,

Texas Am Ranked Second
Best in Nation to Ten
nessee; Cornell 5th
BY HARRY FERGUSON
UNITED Press Shorts Edifnrl


New York, Nov. 20 - (U.P) -
Six major indicated football teams
dominate the United States today
with the season in its last two weeks.
Here they are, ranked in the APP
parent order Of their strength ac-
cording to impartial reports coll
lected from coast to coast:
!. Tennessee, unbeatcn, united
and unsecured on.
2. Texas A. and NJ, unbeaten and
united.
3. Southern California, unbeaten
but tied by Oregon.
4. Tulane, unbeaten but tied by
North Carolina.
5. Cornell, unbeaten AMI united,
9. UCLA, unbeaten but tied by
Stanford and Santa Clara.
There were two important casual
ties over tn weekend North Caro-
lima, unbeaten until Saturday and
apparently headed straight for a
bowl game, met an inspired and
lucky Duke team and went down to
defeat, 10 to 8. Oklahoma, king pin
Of the midwest lost to Missouri Z
to 6.
Georgetown, playing a schedule
that hardly entities 1t to be ranked
among the major teams, kept its
undefeated record by running over
New York University, IA to 0. Du-
quesne, also unbeaten, had an open
date last Saturday. "'
Nothing, 1t seems, Is goii.g to stop
Tennessee. There are two games re-
naming on the volunteers schedule,
but they have an open date this Sat-
urday and plenty Of time to get
ready for Kentucky and Auburn.
Texas A. and M. also seems on its
way to perfect season. The team
rests this Saturday and then meets
Texas on November &c.
Cornell, safely past the Dartmouth
threat, goes against Pennsylvania
this Saturday and should not have
too much trouble. Tulane has Sc
vance and Louisiana State still in
its path, but those two giant lines
that the green wave boasts ought to
be able to do those Jobs.
The biggest threat to any Of the
six leaders Is faced by Southern
California. for this Saturday they
roll into South Bend, Ind. to take on
Notre Dame In the football game of
the week. Even II the Trojans get by
that one, they still have Washing
ton and UCLA to handle and 1t Is
possible that the USC-UCLA game
on December 8 will determine the
western representative in the Rose
Bowl.
Some Of the high lights:
Upset Of the day-Iowa States 10
to 0 victory over a highly favored
Kansas State team.
Player Of the day-Nile Kinnick of
Iowa, lickeSt passer in the college
ranks this season. Going into the
fourth period nine points behind a
powerful Minnesota team, Kinnick
threw two touchdown passes and
hauled the game out Of the fire, 10
to 8.
Disappointment Of the day---Dart-
mouth, which collapsed completely
before Cornell's thrusts and took a
IS to 6 licking.
Surprise Of the day-How CHICAGO
ever scored rs points against ObeR.
lin.
Best games this Saturday-NotFe

BY FRED MULLERN


UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Bosom, Nov. 20-(UP)-With Cor
nell firmly established as the strong
est eastern team afer crushing de-
feat over Dartmouth, and Princeton
undisputed Big Three champion,
New England football entered the
final stretch today.
Yale and Harvard, both with q
string Of defeats on their 1899 rec
ord, ring down the curtain Saturday
in tehir traditional clash at Cam
bridge. Dartmouth rests until Dec. 2
when the Indians travel to New
Yor kto meet Stanford, while Holy
Cross, boasting the second best Of
fensive-defensive record east of the
Mississippi, remains idle until Dec. 2
when the Crusaders meet their ira
ditional Jesuit rivals, Boston College.
Dartmouth was no match for Cor.
nell Saturday and had only Wild
Bill Hutchinson to throw against the
strong defense of the Cornell eleven.
A well-executed aerial attack of the
Big Red completely outwitted The
hapless Dartmouth team as Cornell
rolled up IS points.
1t was not until the Indians found
themselves in scoring distance in the
final period that Johnny Kelley, Oh
an end-around play. with Hutchin-
son taking thrust into the line,
marked up Dartmouth's lone six
points.
Yale started of strong in the OPEN
ing half against Princeton at New
Haven and for a time 1t appeared
that the usual Big Three upset was
in the records. But in the second
half, the Tigers returned with re-
newed vigor, battered down the
Yale defense and then in the final
quarter ran wild, gaining Two hard
earned touchdowns to win 10 to 7.
Ready for Yale
Harvard, meeting New Hampshire

$50 victory. 1t was a celebration of
Captain Toby MacDonald's return to

peared the dynamic ball carrier

against Yale Saturday.
Though neither Harvard nor Yale
has appeared impressive since mid.
season, the meeting Vt the two is
expected 10 produce fireworks and,
as usual when the two get together,
a forecast Of the result is practically
impossible.
Holy Cross won a BRILLIANT 2l-to-0
victory over Carnegie Tech Sopho-
more Bill Sullivan scored on q 54-
yard run, while the two scored by
Joe Osmanski with the pullet speed
OF his famous brother Bill, were on

AS was expected, Boston College

versity and won 19-to-0 It must hur-

eleven is not considered impossible

CLEVELAND is
GIANT KILLER
OF PRO LEAGUE
Clark Gets Revenge as
Rams ROut Detroit
Lions, IA to 3
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY
UNITED Press staff Correspondent

tUnited Press STAN COrreSpOndent)
New York, Nov. 20-(UP)-The
National Football League today
headed into the final two weeks of
the regular championship season
with the Green Bay Packers leading
the western parade and the cham
pion New York Giants and WASH
ington Redskins remaining dead
locked for the eastern lead.
The old story of an athlete re-
buked hoisted Green Bay into the
western division lead Sunday. Earl
(Dutch) Clark, one-time Detroit star
and coach, revenged his unhappy
days with that club when his Cleve-
land Rams knocked the Lions kick
ing, 1913. That defeat dropped the
Lions from a tie for the lead to third
place and probably cost them a shot
at the title.
Clark, who asked his ex-employ-
ers for his players release, routine
he neglected to attend to when he
left Detroit to come to Cleveland as
coach this season, filled his cup of
vengeance to overlooking while
watching the Rams subdue the
Lions. The Detroit owners had re-
fused Clark, long since past his
prime, permission to play. But
Clark's charges playe das Clark him
self wanted them to as they smoth-
cred the Lions in a game most vital
to them.
While the game was a personal
triumph for Clark, 1t was a god
send to Green Bay which conquered
the Brooklyn Dodgers easily, $50,
and grabbed the undisputed western
lead. With two games to play with
the Rams and Lions, Green Bay is
favored to retain the western title
and move into the east-west playoff.
The eastern race remained status
quo as the Giants easily conquered
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1877, and the
Redskins drubbed the Chicago Car
dinals. 28-7. The Giants and Red
skins are tied, each with seven VIC
tories, one defeat and one tie.
In the days other game the Chi
cago Bears retained slim change at
the western title by triumphing over
the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-14.
