diana and Purdue, Gridiron rivals

slippery turf and each other to a
stand-off for more than So minutes
today, but, with 10 seconds to go,
Gene White dropped back from
right guard to send his right toe
against the leather and his Indiana
team to a dramatic 3-to-0 triumph.
Thirty thousand drenched and
shivering spectators saw Indiana's
fighting Hoosiers turn prospective
scoreless tie into victory with their
final charge. climaxed by Whites
perfect place-kick from the 27-yard
line.

BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Georgetown not only whipped a
game and surprisingly strong
George Washington eleven yester-
day, but also got a fifth" down in
the bargain-placing it on even keel
with Cornell, if it wants to be in
such company after the Big Red
went into the red yesterday at
Philadelphia.
1t happened in the waning min
utes of the first period, when the
Hoyas were making their first
touchdown threat, but neither Bill
Reinhart. G. w. coach: Jack Hag-
erty, Georgetown's major domo, nor
the officials noticed it. Luckily it
didn't affect the final score-so it
probably isn't important-though
interesting and true.
There might have been two fifth
downs to put Red" Friesell to
shame-the second charged against
George Washington-but the Colo
mails Tom Grady conveniently
fumbled on second down and Bill
Mclaughlin recovered for George
town. This incident. however. can
not be blamed on the officials. 1t
could have been an error by the
scoreboard custodians. who, in turn,
receive their instructions from a
gentleman on the sideline.
Five Plays in Series.
Georgetown actually received five
downs in first-period series after
7-yard plunge by Fullback Jim
Castiglia and a 5-yard offside pen
atty drove George Washington back
to its 5-yard stripe. With first down
and to go for a score, Koshlap
tried pass which was grounded.
Then Jack Doolan tried to knife
outside right tackle, was entangled
in the tenacles of an alert G. w.
line and lateralled to Castiglia.
The ball bounced on the ground
before Jim grabbed it and headed
for the sideline. Still juggling the
leather. he threw it out of bounds
to avoid another tumble, thereby
assuring Georgetown possession of
the ball. His act, ruled an illegal
forward pass, drew the customary
15-yard penalty, but no loss of down.
On succeeding plays, Koshlap was
smeared for an 11-yard loss by Tony
Barauskas, got of another unsuc-
cessful pass and finally called for a
kick which sailed into the end zone.
The rule governing this play
(article 3, rule Z, page I'D reads,
to wit: "A forward pass may
not be thrown to the ground inten-
tionally to save loss of yardage.
Penalty-Loss of a down, the ball
to be put in play Is yards back of
the spot of the preceding down
This penalty may not be declined"
Coaches Miss Error.
Castiglia, it is necessary to point
out, was penalized for violation of
this rule. Thus Georgetown had
five downs in this particular Sc
Quence but, inasmuch as it could
not score on the extra down 1t had
no affect on the final outcome of
the game
Bill Reinhart didn't note the error,
nor did Jack Hagerty. The Of
icials, interviewed in their dressing
room, could not recall allowing an
extra down and were quite positive
none had been allowed. This re-
porter is equally positive they did
if the play was called according
to the book.
George Washington might have
been given an extra down, on the
scoreboard, at least, had not Grady
fumbled. This series of plays be-
gan after Frank Dornfeld, George
town sophomore, had punted out on
G. WIS 32-yard line. On the first

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The Co.
lumbia football Lion ate his Oldest
jinx today and enjoyed the dinner
immensely.
For 20 years the Lion had been
trying to work on Colgate's Red
Raiders. And for 20 years he had
failed to satisfy his appetite. Today
he finally made it, after losing six
and tieing only one CT the previous
games in the series.
With az 900 spectators sitting in on
the banquet at Baker Field, the
Lions twice came from behind, took
advantage of every break and nipped
the Red Raiders from the Chenan-
60, 20 to II, in a ball game that
had the folks jumping up and down
and biting their flngernails all
through a red-hot second half.
Errors Defeat Colgate.
The Raiders made only two serious
errors, and that cost them the ball
game.
In the first period after Colgate
had scored on a 65-yard drive, Co.
lumbia took advantage of one such
error. Carl Kinscherf tried to kick
from his own Is. and Justin Nc
Intyre, the Lions husky right guard
from LAGRANGE, Ill, broke through
and blocked the boot. His end-mate,
Hugh Barber, came through on the
other side, chased the loose ball into
the end zone and fell on it to tie the
score.
Then in the fourth quarter, with
Columbia leading, Is to 10, Al Han
over tossed one into the fiat, with
out enough defensive help nearby.
Joe Siegal rushed in, grabbed the
pass and ran SIS yards for the touch
down that put the game on ice.
Colgate came back in the closing
minutes to, score final 6-pointer,
but 1t wasn't enough.
Indian Bill Geyer, Joe Hoague and
Joe McCourt headed Colgate's open
ing touchdown march, with Hoague
going over from 6 inches out.
Raider Kicks Field Goal.
Midway through the third chapter
Hoague broke over Columbia's left
tackle, and Ed Van Loan kicked a
26-yard field goal to put Colgate in
front again.
The Lions took the next kickoff
on their own IS and again forged in
front with a 6-pointer that took just
four pass plays to produce. Cover
nall, on the pitching end of each
toss, hurled to Barber for yards,
to Siegal for II. to Adam Spiegel for
26 and then shot bullet pitch to
Augie Deaugustini in the end zone.
After this tally, Len Will missed his
only extra point of the game.

Los Angeles Angels were en- route
to Seattle today to meet the Rain
iers in the final series of the coast
leagues Presidents cup, and Pitcher
Bob Weiland and Outfielder Lou
Novikoff in effect paid the railroad
fares.
The Angels won the seventh and
deciding game of the playoff series
from San Diego yesterday 2 to 0
through Weiland's one-hit perfor-
nance on the mound. Novikoff &C
counted for both runs, by doubling
in the first to score on Johnny
Moore's single, and in the third,
when he homered into the left field
bleachers off Wally Hebert.
Hebert allowed only one hit after
the third inning, but the damage
was done. The two hits he gave
up in the first came with two men
out. Sharp fielding had cut down
the two Angels to hit safely in the
third before the Mad Russian"
came up with his four-ply blow.
Johnny Jensen, first man up in
the first, got the Padres only hit.
Seattle, the league champion, ell
minated Oakland in their half of
the playoff. The Rainiers and An

NEW YORK, Sept. "a. (UP)-Lou

Not a crime of his own, but
the crimes of others.
For nearly three months the
handsome California heavyweight
has been training in the Nevada
state penitentiary at Carson City,
readying himself for boxing come
back necessitated by the brutal
beating he took from Tony Galento
in Philadelphia year ago.
Nova's novel. TO say the least,
training site was picked for him
by his manager. Ray Carlin, when
Carlin finally realized that Nova
would not work unless laced under
iron discipline Left to his own de-
vices, Nova shirked his training so
Carlin shipped him to Carson City
and placed him in charge of Bill
Lewis, boss of the state hoosegow
and a man who demands obedience.
It was an ideal set-up. because
Warden Lewis. in addition to hav-
ing a fully-equipped gymnasium in
the prison, also owns the Carson
City hot springs. health resort
that has been a favorite with ath-
letes since the time Bob Fitzsim-
mons trained there for his bout
with Jim Corbett.
Carlin told me about this at Bel
mont Park yesterday, as we shared
eight straight losers. Carlin is in
town trying to persuade Promoter
Mike jacobs to give Nova a shot
at either Billy Conn or the winner
of the fight between Max Baer
and Pat Comiskey.

who knew that if he didn't obey
orders he'd get the full treatment.
Lou would take baths in the morn
ing and then go over to the pri-
son for his boxing. In the after
noon he would go out and, under a
broiling sun, grub sagebrush with
a heavy pick. He didn't dare loaf
on the job. because the warden
or one of his guards kept watch
on Lou through field glasses. In his
boxing he used the prisoners for
sparring mates. One of his best
sparring partners, as well as his
rubber and masseur, was lifer
named Morrelli."
Nova left Carson City a week
or so ago and is now at Applegate,
Calf, in the foothills of the Sierra
Nevadas, doing the heaviest sort
of work.

same Nova who fought Galento,"
Carlin said. Hes picked up 10 or
so pounds in weight and is ten times.

How is Lou getting along with
his Yogi business?" I asked
Carlin laughed.
"Well. he's still at 1t. Even the
ribbing you fellows gave him for
taking it up when he was training
at Dom the Omnipotent's, didn't
shake his faith. He still spends a
lot of time swallowing air. medi-
tating in utter quiet. any drinking
gallons of water. But I can't COM

er and happier. and there's no sense
in knocking Yogi If it does my
fighter some good"
I tried Yogi during the last three
