Tom Harmon Calls Him the Nations Best FulIback
and He Has Met Few Good Ones
BY TOM HARMON

He was passed up last year, but
Bob Westfall, captain of the UNI
versity of Michigan football team,
is No, ! in line this year for ALL
American honors.
That's as it should be, for he's
the greatest running fullback Of
the past decade.
I've played with and against
fullbacks with great names, and
I've seen more of them in action
this year as a spectator, But
there isn't one who can come UP
to his standard of performance,
let alone his unquestioned quail
ties of leadership.
The Bullet is a quiet guy who
never says much. But he does a
job that few football players can
handle. AS spinning fullback,
he has every bit the responsible
ity of quarterback Sid Luckman,
who runs the "T" formation for
the Chicago Bears.
What's more, Bob Is just as de-
pendable, quality that means a
lot in collegiate competition. He's
the kind of player who will get
the extra yard when it's needed.
1 know, because he did it plenty
of times when l was playing with
him.
He was second to none as a
fullback last year, but didn't get
the attention of the East tern
writer's. After last Saturdays per-
Torrance against Columbia. when
he scored three touchdowns, Bob
should get the attention he de-
serves.
It's about time. There are darn
few halfbacks who could run the
ends against Minnesota. as Bob
Westfall did this year. He has
gained ground, and plenty of it,
on every team he's faced.
And he's no SLOUGH when II
comes to defense. You can count
on the fingers of one hand the
number of times that halfbacks
have gotten beyond the line OF
scrimmage when they try West
falls end.
Bob's the kind OF a guy who

Warm Weather
Offers Problem
For Hunters
Deer Seekers Must
Perch on Runways.
Keep Very Quiet
BY DON GILES

WEST BRANCH, Mich, Nov.
18.-With the deer season in its
fourth day, hunting now is devel-
oping into somewhat of problem,
so far as the chances of bagglng
a buck is concerned. Hunters IN
this section of the state reported
only mediocre success yesterday.
The weather, which continues
warm, has forced hunters to perch
on runways and keep extremely
quiet if they expect to get any
thing in the way Of shot.
We hunted in Roscommon
County with Bill Bosserman and
Jim McGarrigle of Detroit, and the
three Of us saw only four does
all day. McGarrigle had quite an
interesting experience late in the
afternoon. Perched in the peoples.
he dosed off to sleep and during
his abbreviated slumber he saw a
giant buck with huge rack OF
horns coming straight at him.
REAL THING
81 guess the dream frightened
me-" McGarrigle said, "but what
do you suppose l saw when 1
awoke? A pretty little doe was
standing not over 5 feet away,
looking me straight In the eye. I
thought I was still dreaming.
shook my head a couple times
and then she scampered away"
Bert Jones, well known Roscom-
mon County trapper who has
trapped 80 red fox so far this year.
believes the deer hunting season
should open two weeks later.
1.-THE November Is opening In
terferes with the mating season."
Jones said. Furthermore, N they
opened the season on December
I, hunters would get tracking
snow and more favorable hunt
ing weather"
Early figures at private clubs
prove that deer are just about as
plentiful this year as in 1910. At
the Lake ST. Helen Club. % bucks
were killed the first day of the
season, against 10 last year.
At Canada Creek Ranch In
Montmorency County, members
bagged 81 deer during the first two
days. Last year As were shot on
opening day and 81 during the
whole 1o-day season.
AT Artesia Beach. located on the
Lake St. Helen Club. two women
filled their license. Sue Haig OF
Flint, hung up her third straight
buck in as many years. while Mrs.
Charles Shank of Detroit. hunting
with her husband. got a nice buck.
Sidney Sternamen, Alfred Smith,
w f. Elder. James Smith, Or.
Nern Zines, Lynn Farnum, Her.
man LEX, Bernard Hauer and
Herb OStlund. all OF Flint, were
successful hunters at the end Of
the third day.

Bruins Victory
String Ends

Like the highly touted football
teams Bobby Bruins, undefeated
at the Arena Gardens since Janu-
airy, took tumble last night
with George (Crybaby) Zaharias

Bobby had won some 20 matches
without defeat at the Gardens,
his setback being due to the rough
treatment he received at the
hands of the Greek, plus a nasty
fall from the ring during the

On Grid Front
Leahy Moves Up
Texas Aeeies TO
Second Position
By FRANK LEAHY

Director OF Athletics, Univ. ofSotre Dame
NOTRE DAME, Ind. Nov. 49,
An unwelcome weekly visitor on
the nations football stage strutted
his stuff last Saturday to the sad
ness of several of the nations top
flight teams as Old Man Upset
once again was the feature actor
in the gridiron drama.
The losses suffered by Texas
and Stanford not only upset the
followers of these two powerful
machines but also served to dis
concert the plans of the bowl
game officials in at least one and
possibly two of the major New
Years Day events.
Meanwhile Duquesne, by virtue
of its decisive win over well-drilled
Mississippi State, showed conclu-
sively that it is well worthy of a
position in the January ! sunlight
in one of the bowl attractions.
FOUR PERFECT
The list Of major undefeated
and united machines is unbeliev-
ably small. 1t includes only Mime
sofa, Duke, Texas A. & M. and
IDuquesne.
To us, however, the best five
are these:
1-NIinnesota. The Gophers came
back after a slow start and set
back an Iowa team which was
red-hot and on fire with the desire
to score an upset.
2-Texas A. e. Nj. We move the
Aggies above Duke, for we feel
that their schedule has been lit
tie more difficult than that of the
Blue Devils.
3-Duke. Wallace Wade's boys
must have one of the top defensive
teams of the campaign.
4-Michigan. Only loss 10
Minnesota keeps the Wolverines
from top billing once again this
year.
5-Alabama. The Crimson Tide
was upset right at the start by
Mississippi State. but the Thomas
coached athletes have really rolled
since then, defeating some fine
teams in the process.

improves with every game. and
that's considerable when you real
ize he hasn't missed a game this
season or in his entire college ca
reer.
Add it all up and you get just
one thing:
Bob Westfall, carrying on the
tradition of great Michigan full
backs. is the No. / choice for ALL
American honors this year.

AKRON LOSES AGAIN

Akron, which has yet to win q
game, led Paris by 2-1 until
shortly past midway in the second
period of the other game. Then
Joe Levine took a pass in the goal
mouth from AL Chadwick and tall
lied TO even the score at 2-all. The
clever Tony Buckovitz shortly aft
erward went to work, bagging his
second marker and passing to Dal-
ton MacKenna for another.
Leading Az going into the final
period, Paris was on easy street
Doug Taylor got the Detroiters
another goal in the fifteenth min
ute of the final period. which was
matched by one by Charley Pitt
of Akron with less than two min

If Joe Lieb is with Twentieth

But Twentieth with Lieb in the
lineup always shoots good wood.
The last two times out they won
three from Norton and two from

consider Il
Wayne Spaulding and the
Bowling Schools have something TO
occupy their talent when they hit
Louis Burr's Nationals. Spaulding' s
students took three from Baskets
last week and see themselves as
on their way. National is better
producer ordinarily and gets the
nod.
Vernon can beat Walby and may.
Walby, however, has a way OF
turning up with those needed
games and remains very much a
disputant for first place.

Urges Safety Zones
And School Petrol

Highway patrolman E. E.. Ric-
kert this week recommended
that safety zones be marked off
at each intersection approach
ing the grade school and that
school patrolmen be appoint
ed by the teachers.
Similar plans are now being
used in other towns with fav-
Orable results. it was stated.
It was suggested that wide
safety zones should be painted
at the street intersections ad-
joining the grade school and
children be instructed by their
teachers to cross the highway
only via the safety marks. Stu
dent patrolmen would be ap-
pointed by the teachers to stop
cars when children were cross
ing the street. Patrolmen would
be given special caps and Sam
Browne belts so as to disting-
uish them from other students.

SKEIE SPEAKS
TO KIWANIANS

Elmer Skeie, superintendent
of schools for District 17-H,
was the guest speaker at the
regular Wednesday luncheon of
the Hardin Kiwanis club.
Mr.. Skeie's subject was the
need of loyalty to the public
schools. THE schools do not be-
long to the superintendent, the
principals, nor the teachers" he
said. They belong primarily to
the children. 1t is our duty as
citizens of the community to CO.
operate to the end that the
greatest good may be obtained
from the schools by the chill
dren. We should not use under
handed methods of criticism,
but all just complaints will be
welcomed if brought directly to
the attention of those in charge
of the school administration"
The club pledged it's support
to the local public school sys-
tenn and its membership agreed
to carry out Mr.. Skeie's sugges-
tons.
Past President c. C, Quinn
was appointed to serve on an
all-community committee to aid
with the Boy Scout program be-
ing sponsored by the American
Legion.

To Compete In
Portland Meet

The three Donohoe brothers
of Wyola, who comprise this
years Montana state champion
ship livestock judging team, will
participate in the Northwestern
All livestock judging contest to
be held in Portland. Ore, on
Monday, Oct. 6, it was an
nounced this week.
K. j. Redman, leader of the
club to which the Donohoe bro
theirs belong, will accompany
them on the trip.
The Northwestern All live
stock judging contest is being
held in conjunction with the
Pacific Livestock exposition at
Portland, Oct. 4 to II. The ex-
position is the foremost of its
kind in the West, and many of
the cattle exhibited at the In
ternational Livestock show are
On display at Portland.
The Big Horn county judging
team members will be guests
of the exposition.
This is the first time in state
All club history that a Big
Horn county team has won the
championship and thus earned
the right to participate in the
contest at Portland. The team
IS also unique because of the
fact that this is the first time
that three brothers are members
of the state championship team.
