Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 22.-(UP)- Have you ever jumped right out of you skin? I mean, have you ever Jumped completely out of it SO that it stood right there beside you, look ing like a Dr. Denton's sleeping garment?
 I did yesterday, in the middle of the Register and Tribune sports de- partment. It wasn't pretty sight, because after all beauty is only skin deep.
 The reason for all this was the sudden and unexpected arrival Of Bob Teller, not a Bob Teller but the BOB TELLER, of whom the incest thing I said all last baseball season was that he was a cry-baby, a sissy, and a winner. I'm so broad-minded that I am capable of overlooking the fact that he only won 27 games and is perhaps the finest pitcher in baseball.
 Well, anyway, there he stood right back of me, fresh from g. quail hunting trip and with a shotgun in his hands. I had several nasty thoughts, one being that maybe Eel Ter wasn't as broadminded as was and wouldn't overlook the things I had written about him and Trosky and Harder and Chapman and the other Cleveland Indians
 I didn't dare turn around. nder my breath I whispered Count 10, Bob, Count TO-" hoped he remem- bered his American history, partic- ularly that part about Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes" kept mine closed-on pur- pose.
 Almost Scalped
 Remembering he was an Indian, and being a neat person, brushed my forelock for the scalping. Sec onds passed and nothing happened. Slowing I turned around. Quickly I turned back. He looked bigger, standing there in a hunting suit, and with Q 12 guage in his hands, than he ever looked on pitchers mound.
 AS I turned back, and as my skin turned with me, I realized for the first time what fool I had been to ever say an unkind word about this great. big, formidable, 190- pound, shotgun equipped nice per- son-Bob Teller. It was so obvious to me, as I looked into the sights of that shotgun. that Bob Teller was one of the kindest, sweetest, gentlest. understanding. clean cut, and all-round fine man had ever known. simply couldn't under- stand how I had ever written about him in a derogatory manner.
 All of these sensations of mine, including jumping in and out of skin, took but e second or two. Like a drowning man, all the bad things I had said about Bob and the fine Cleveland Indians passed through my mind.
 He spoke the first word. l was

O'Rourke, McGowen Duel In Auburn, B. (. Go Saturday

Chestnut Hill, Mass. Nov. 22.-A classic which was rated as the most thrilling in Maroon and Gold grid history (until the Georgetown epic was unveiled last Saturday after noon) will have its 1940 renewal at Fenway Park tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock when Jack Meagher's Au- burn Plainsmen try to break the un- defeated, united record of the Bos- ton college forces. The nations highest scoring eleven, B. c. had 8 lot of trouble in pulling last min- ute 13-7 win out of the fire over Auburn year ago.
 A lot of water has gone over the dam since that night in November when in the gloaming of Fenway Park, MT. O'Rourke pitched his Heightsmen to well-deserved tri- umph. The Eagles have defeated Holy Cross, Tulane and Georgetown since then. The Tigers have also set back Tulane, and have scored a two touchdown win over Clemson. The Clemson team set back Boston college by 6-3 score in tine Dallas Cotton Bowl on New Years Day.
 Backfield Stars
 About 10000 eyes will be focused on the competing teams but maSuE interest will rest in the battle of the rival backfield stars, O'Rourke for Boston college and McGowen for Auburn. The latter is the finest kicker to show in these parts in recent years and also runs and passes well. The visiting team has the finest backfield quartet in the south and is confident of winning. Goodreault may not be ready for Saturday as he is still favoring an injured knee If he isn't set to go his place will be taken by Ed Zabil- ski, giving the Eagles a pair of brothers in the line.

MINNESOTA SHOULD
 CLINCH GRID GROWN
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

tUnlted Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Nov. 22-(UP)-Min- nesota's Gophers have only to de- feat Wisconsin tomorrow to stake their claim on the mythical national football championship.
 The unbeaten, united Gophers have perhaps the strongest hold on the title after staging an unprece- dented renaissance to lead six other major teams which also have come their programs undefeated.
 Coach Bernie Bierman's eleven wasn't figured to have even a look in at the start of the 1940 season. His record last year was deplorable three victories, four losses and one tie. However, the Gophers dug through tough schedule without once faltering.
 Only the Texas Aggies and Stan ford, unbeaten and united, will be idle as the other four perfect-record squads face tough opposition to- morrow. The Gophers, Tennessee, Boston college and Lafayette all have a days work cut out for them.
 Minnesota, which wrapped up the Big Ten title by beating Purdue last week, may run into trouble with Wisconsin, which defeated Indiana with unexpected ease. Tennessee. after two "breathers," faces formid- able Kentucky, which is trying to find the range after an upset by West Virginia. Boston college, gum ming for a Sugar Bowl invitation, tackles strong Auburn, which was defeated last week by Louisiana State. Only Lafayette seems to have an easy foe in Lehigh.

 Mice to see you, Henry. What you doing out here?"
 q was dying few minutes ago, Bob, but I'm feeling 8 lot better now. Howya Bob, op boy, ol' boy, O. boy?"
 Believe it or not, we got to chat ting. He understood all about the riding the Indians took last year. Said he thought it was a perfect set-up for sports writer and that any sports writer who didn't write about it would have been crazy. He did say, however, that there were two sides to the trouble the Indians had with Oscar Witt. He wouldn't explain, though.
 That's all over," Bob said. we all know Roger Peckingpaugh and we all like him. He is man who agrees with us that we have the best club in the American league and can win the pennant. That sort of spirit will help us next sea- son."
 I enjoyed every moment of our talk, but I kept wanting to call him governor and thank him for the reprieve.
