Stanford Shaughnessy
Are COmebacks Of 40
97-Yard Punt

SANTA CLARA, Calf, Oct. 16.
-R-University of Santa Clara
officials, after reading of a re-
cord punt claimed for the South
ern Methodist Pittsburgh game
last Saturday, hauled out their
files today to prove one of their
boys actually put the foot in
football back in 1924.
Leonard Casanova, Santa Clara
quarterback, punted a ball 81
yards in a game with st. Mary's
in San Francisco 16 years ago.
The ball was snapped from his
own two and downed on the
Gaels' one-yard marker. Actual
ly it Travelled more than LOO
yards because he stood behind
the goal.
Preston Johnston of S. M. U.
booted the oval 90 yards. A foot
ball record book credits the re-
cord kick to Al Braga of the
University of San Francisco, 80
yards in 1887.

TILESTON WHIPS
ISAAC BEAR, 2S-o
Six-Man Team Shows Power
full Running Attack, Block
ing To Win Loop Tilt

The Yileston six-man football
squad displaying a powerful run
ming attack and, blocking wi t h
deadly precision, outclassed h e
Isaac Bear team on Robert Strange
field yesterday afternoon by %
to 0 score.
The Isaac Bear team was slow
throughout the game and could not
get its passing attack going at any
time. The team did not look like
the outfit which defeated Heme4
way in the opener a week ago.
Roberts, end, led the play for
Tileston with his perfect blocking
and tackling and was responsible
for the long gains made by the
backs. Marshburn and Potter stood
out in the backfield for the Win
ners with Sutton, Harris and Muir
ray leading the losers.
Tileston scored first in the open
ing period when Roberts took the
ball over from the. foot line and
Potter crashed the line for the ex-
ira point. In the second quarter
Potter skirted the end for 5 yards
and another touchdown and Marsh
burn shot through the center for
the extra point.
Late in the third period Potter
shot over from the one foot line
after Is yard drive for the third
touchdown, but the try for point
failed. Harris of Isaac Bear, was
caught behind his goal shortly after
for a safety and two more Tileston
points. Marshburn sent long 16
yard pass to Long in the end zone
to end the scoring. 4

.DRAH0S, M0LINSKl
ARE TRYING AGAIN
Blalock Of Clemson Is One Ut
Contenders For Tar Heels
Berth q Eleven
BY HERB BARKER

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-B-Four
juniors won line positions on the
Associated Press All-America foot
ball team year ago. One of them,
Harley McCollum, Tulane's huge
tackle, is ineligible this season.
The other three-Paul SEVERN,
North Carolina end; Nick Drahos.
Cornell tackle; and Ed Molinskl,
Tennessee guard, are faced now
with extraordinary competition all
along the line.
Molinskis bid to repeat appears
to be particularly challenged Tor
one of his leading rivals in his
team-mate, Bob Suffridge, soph-
omore sensation in 1888 but handi-
capped by injuries last year. Some
southeastern critics rate the two
on a par on offense but give the
edge to Suffridge, degfensively.
In any discussion about outstand-
ing guards, the southwest will
come up with Marshall Foch Rob-
nett, cagey, fast 205pounder of the
Texas Aggies, a member of the
1889 second All-America team. Ne
braska will back Warren Alison
and the east has two fine candi-
dates in George Kerr of Boston col
lege and Augustine Lilo of George
town.
Drahos, Cornell's place-kicking
specialist, again is playing bril-
liant football for the Big Red, but
early season reports indicate fer
tile tackle field, among them Ali
Bauman of Northwestern, M k e
Enich of Iowa, Charlie Mag of
Ohio State, Earnest Pannel of Tex
as A. and M, Abe Shires of Ten
nessee, Fred Davis of Alabama,
and Tom Gallagher of Notre Dame.
Severin's leading early season
competition has been furnished by
Gene Goodreault, Boston colleges S
fine defensive wingman; Jay Mac
Doweu of Washington; Charley An
derson, Ohio State negro; Joe Bla-
lock of Clemson; Waly Swanson,
Kansas State; Jim Schmuck and
Alvah Kelley of Cornell; Buddy
Elrod, of Mississippi State n d
Bob Ison of Georgia Tech, although
the latter has been nursing a leg
injury.
Centers are not so plentiful but
ranked among the leaders are Bob
Nelson of Baylor, Bob GUIDE of
Vanderbilt, and Rudy Mucha of
Washington, defensive pow r
whose work occasionally is marred
by bad pass. - 4

Red" Sanders, who took over the
reins of the Commodores at Wander
bilt has already exceeded fond ex-
pectations. Vandy whipped Wash
ington and Lee, lost 81 to Prince
ton came up with a TT tie with a
highly favored Kentucky eleven.
It looks like Sanders has coffee
and cakes for another year, too.
But the top performance of all to
date, it appears, is what old Clark
Shaughnessy has done at Stanford.
Last year stanford didn't win
single conference game and beat
Dartmouth in their final contest for
their only victory. Shaughnessy was
taking an awful beating with Chi
cago and when DR.. Hutchins called
it quits OH the gridiron, he look over
at Stanford after Tiny Thornhill was
custed.
So far Stanford has beat San Fran
cisco 27-0, Oregon 1870 and Santa
Clara 7-6. And there's even Rose
Bowl talk for the team.
Which is pretty good for these
draftees.
Lalanne's Comeback
Cardinals Jim Lalanne is being
given national mention for All-Amer-
lean this year and it certainly ap-
peared that he is heading that way
with his performance against Texas
Christian. In connection with this
Laurence Leonard, of the Greensboro
Daily News, penned nice piece on
Lalanne and how he virdicated HIM
self in that game.
Some figures released by Bob
Madry, of the University News bu-
reau, show that the Bayou Bomber
as he was known in '39, is setting
the pace in yardage by the Caro-
lima team. He has rushed the ball
