BOSTON, Oct. 23.-The difference
between a football clash between
two undefeated bowl contenders and
a pair of fairly good teams is just
6623 per cent. as far as public in
terest is concerned.

than $4,000 tried to get into their
Jesuit classic, one of the biggest of
the 1910 gridiron shows. AND only
10000 of them could be accommo-
dated at Fenway Park.
This coming Saturday those same
teams will collide on the same
premises but, since each has suffered
two defeats. they will do so without
much fanfare and. most likely, be-
fore only 10000 spectators.
Follow Successful teams.
Where have their other 10000 ad-
mirers gone? To more successful
teams. of course. And why do foot
ball fortunes change from season to
season? Because most players have
their graduation days.
There are many reasons why Bos-
ton College and Georgetown have
encountered two stronger rivals this
year and graduations account for
one of them. Both suffered heavily
last June but Boston College ap-
peared to have more than enough
material remaining to retain its
hard-Won laurels. Even the most
rabid Georgetown supporter ad-
mitted the Hoyas had to slump
But, as was the case last year,
when B. c. gained a breath-taking
1918 victory, those teams come
down to their 1941 game on even
terms. And, it appears certain, they
will wage just as exciting a battle
for their most faithful admirers.

Bob Got More Ground
Than AII-Americu
In 1910 Contest
BY JAY VESSELS.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 22.-The
Michigan man Minnesota respects
most is Capt. Bob Westfall. And
there's a reason.
Minnesota scouts, rating WeStfall
as the best spinning fullback in the
Nation, reports he is just as dan
gerouS as ever. He and the sopoho-
more great, Tom Kuzma, fake the
ball to each other.
Sometimes the enemy sees it,
most of the time they don't. Coach
Bernie Bierman,, ouSy building a
defense against the chap who
almost wrecked him last year, hopes
his lads see the pigskin often enough
at Ann Arbor Saturday.
Westfall is not a flashy type, the
triple threat business is for the
other boys He doesn't kick, he
doesn't pass. But. boy. how he can
spin with that football. Capt. Bob's
big, pudgy and built close to the
ground. Once he gets rolling, look
out!
Outgained Harmon Last Year.
Coach Bierman doesn't have to
steam up his varsity about Westfall.
A boxer knocks you kicking with
his right fist; you don't have to be
told then he packs a wallop in that
hand Bierman doesn't have to tell
his Golden Gophers about Westfall,
because most of them were in there
for that 1910 title game.
Then, Westfall came to Mime
apolis as just another guy in the
backf1eld. All the advance notices
went to Tommy Harmon. After the
game. Harmon got some notices
in reverse The genuine stuff went
to Westfan.
Harmon had a net gain of about
10 yards, finishing his college career
without scoring touchdown against
Minnesota in three years. 1t was
Westfall who got the yardage. Of
the Is first downs Fullback Bob

Will Be Marked Man.
1t was simple enough when you
saw it work Westfall faxed the
ball TO Harmon and then whipped
through the line. He Numbered for
gains up to Is yards. That was in
midfleld mainly for the scoring
strategy found Harmon doing most
Of the futile goal line tricks.
So Minnesota will be looking for
