Lower National Hockey Clubs Threaten As Rangers, Maple Leafs And Bruins Stand Pat
Canadians Land
 Irwin In New Deal For Old Montreal
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Nov. 1.-The New York Rangers, Toronto Leafs and Boston Cruins-theN Big Three of last winter-are standing pat with lineups that were good enough to make them the class of the seven- club National Hockey league.
 Lester Patrick believes his ver- satile Rangers, protected by the remarkable goal-tending of little Davey Kerr, are good enough to repeat as Stanley Cup winners.
 The Rangers Signaled the open ing of the long haul to next springs playoffS by staging three-goal bar rage in the dying minutes of the third period to rout the Leafs, Al, in Toronto.
 These are the same clubs, with only one or two minor changes in the Toronto roster, that fought 1t out in a hectic Stanley Cup series last spring.
 Although a promising band of recruits shuffled vigorously for jobs in Toronto, not one was able to shunt more experienced cam paigners out of the way.
 Art Ross insists his powerhouse Bruins were nudged out of the l939-40 crown room only by bad breaks. He called his team of last season the greatest the N. H. L.. had ever seen, and expects the help to prove 1t this trip in front of the outstanding goalie, Frankie BrimSek.

 Kimbrough didn't look very good in the first half of the game. His number wasn't called very often and he didn't seem to be tremendously interested in the game. He was re- faxed. Sort of shiftless. But when the Mustangs tied the score to threaten the Aggies supremacy, big John said Here, now, that's enough. Lemme have that thing and start at 'em."
 They fought him-fought him with everything they had. But all you have isn't enough to stop John, once he decides to march.
 Yes, quite a boy. Makes you feel awfully fat and old and short winted to work with what must be the finest human chassis now at large.

Head Coach Raymond w. (Ducky) Ponds consolation that "the boys did pretty good job" against Cor nell Saturday, gave Yale a new con- fldence today as the squad pointed for the first of the "big three" games-against Princeton-in New Jersey this weekend.
 Yale fell before Cornell, 21-0, after making its best showing of the sea- son. But the Ellis checked the Cor nell aerial offensive and kept the ground raiders from piling up what was believed would be much high CT score. Several times Yale broke through for touchdown threats, but two bad passes dissolved these in- spired assaults.

PERFECT RECORD
 TEAMS NARROW DOWN TO ELEVEN
Cornell, Minnesota, NOtre Dame Will Not GO to
 Rose Bowl
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor)

New York, November 11-(UP)-- Eleven major football teams are un- defeated today and the schedule for the coming weekend sends all of them into action.
 A few of the lucky evelens have easy opponents, but in most cases the fur will fly in hard-fought bat ties. Best game of the day probably will be played in the east where Boston College and Georgetown both unbeaten will collide at Boston.
 With the season going into the homstretch here are the undefeated teams by sections:
 East-Cornell, Penn State, Lafay- cite, Boston College, Georgetown.
 Midwest-Minnesota, Notre Dame.
 South - Tennessee, Mississippi State.
 Southwest-Texas A. & M.
 Far West-Stanford.
 Three Down
 Three teams-Michigan Southern Methodista and Franklin and Marshall-dropped out of the select circle Saturday. Michigan lost to Minnesota. s. M. U. went down be- fore the Texas Aggies and Frank lin and Marshall was turned back by New York University.
 Of the il survivors the following seem fairly certain of getting past the week-end: Lafayette which meets Western Maryland, Tennessee which plays Virginia, Mississippi State which plays Millsaps.
 The rest of them are in for fight as follows: Penn State which meets N. Y. U.; Minnesota which plays Purdue; Notre Dame which meets Iowa; Texas A. & M. which plays Rice; Stanford which meets Oregon State; the aforementioned game between Boston College and Georgetown and Cornell which plays an improving Dartmouth team.
 Of the teams that are still un- beaten, Cornell, Minnesota, and Norte Dame definitely will not &C., cept invitations to Bowl games. That leaves Stanford, Tennessee, Boston College, Georgetown, Texas A. & M, Penn State, Lafayette and Mississippi State as possible post season contenders.

Dallas, Nov. l1.-CUPl-To man whose hair is beating strategic retreat toward the nape of his neck, whose weight is something that makes airline clerks take anxious glances toward the wings of their planes and whose blood pressure is two notches higher than that of a cabra in high anger, John Kim brough furnishes quite a thrill.
 He is all of the man all of us would like to be.
 He has the size, the speed, the power and the stamina that-well, that you'd like to be.
 Iron Man
 Sixty minutes of punishing football is as nothing to jarring John. l had my glasses on him when the final whistle of the Aggies-S. M. U. sounded last Saturday, and he looked downright sorry. The solid hour of pumping and banging and hammering and jolting hadn't af- fected him one bit. He was dane ing around on his toes when the finish came, handling his 222 pounds of muscle as if he were a ballet dancer. There was a grin on his face, and for moment, thought he might appeal to the officials to let the teams play a while longer, just for the fun of rough, tough physical contact.
 Quiet a football fellow, Kim brough. The performance he put on in the third period of the Ag- gies game with the Mustangs gave him a place alongside the real champions in my book. In two or three minutes he gave a one-man show that matched Jesse Owens work at Berlin in the 1886 Olympics, Seabiscuit's victory in the Santa Anita handicap, Andy Pilney's run in the never-to-be-forgotten Ohio State-Notre Dame game, and Rito Capadrutts bobsled madness in the 1882 winter games at Like Placid
 The score was tfed at 7-7 when Kimbrough took the game into his own hands. The field was muddy and slippery, the s. M. U. defense was massed to meet him. But he asked for the ball and went to work. Seven times he rumbled and roared into the s. M. U. line Seven times the enemy was thrown back by the mad drive of the big fellow. Seven times they grounded him into the mud, and seven times he got up, laughing. and set off or another battering Ram plunge. Anc on the seventh time he went over for touchdown - the touchdown that put his team ahead B to and really won the game for the Az gies and kept intact their winning streak that started the week after Thanksgiving in 1888.
 This drive of Kimbroughs-it cov- cred 31 yards-was the highlight oi the game. Every person in the

YOUNG MOWERS AT GOAL FOR DETROIT RED WINGS

Youth is the keynote of the De- troit machine, with freshmen brought in from Indianapolis to augment the forces of sophomore talent.
 The most important change finds Johnny Mowers, only two years out of the amateur ranks, as the goalie. He replaces Tiny Thompson, now established as coach of the Buffalo club in the American league, after 13 illus trious seasons on big time.
 Red Dutton finally decided to dis card the theory that gnarled vet erans still deserved a home with the Americans.
 Dutton has tossed five recruits from the amateur ranks into the thick of things, shelving such vet erans as Eddie Shore, Doc Dom- nes, Johnny Gagnon, All Murray and Nels Stewart

Dick Irwin celebrated his debut as coach of the Canadiens in Mon- treal by introducing eight new men, and obtained 1-1 overtime tie with the vaunted Bruins. Irwin was men, tor of the Leafs for decade.
 A new deal in Montreal sees not only a new coach, but Tom my German returned to the front line as business manager and chief ballyhoo thumper, and Frank Pat rick installed as team manager. With German directing the pre- season wordage traffic, the Cana diens rolled into sight in the wake of the greatest flood of preseason ballyhoo ever attached to a hockey club.
 The Chicago Blackhawks, up and coming last season with youthful puckchasers thriving m- der the careful handling of Paul Thompson, promise to take full advantage of the experience that now goes with speed and aggres- sivenesS.

UNION TO GIVE
HOSPITAL CARE

New York, N. Y.-Complete hos
pital care will be guaranteed to 5000
persons during the year beginning
October / under a contract signed by
Local 802 of the American Fedora
tion of Musicians with the Manhattan
General Hospital, Second Avenue and
Seventeenth Street, it was announced.
Characterizing the new arrange
ment as "an unprecedented social well
fare activity in the history of trade
unionism," the local said that it would
assume all costs for it's unemployed
members and their families who are
covered by it. The services available
will include diagnosis, X-ray, medi-
cation, obstetrics and capitalization
up to twenty one days.
The present plan limits this serv-
ice to unemployed and INDECENT mem
bers of the local and their families,
but the experiment will be watched
closely and, if it proves successful,
probably will be expanded to cover
the entire $4,000 members of the To-
cal and their families, a represent
ative of the local said.
There will be no added assessments
to defray the costs of the new ven
ture, according to union officials, who
said that its present funds would suf-
flee to meet the costs. They said that
there were normally from 1900 to
1000 members of the local registered
with it as unemployed.
For purposes of operation the new
plan calls for the division of the city
into eight districts, in each of which
the union has retained a physician
who is also a member of the staff
of the hospital. These physicians will
pass upon the needs of unemployed
members of the local and their fam
lilies residing in their districts and will
determine admissions to the hospital.
Jacob Rosenberg, president of Lo-
cal 802, is chairman of the medical
board that drafted the new plan after
a study of medical and welfare work
done by other unions.
