.Tommervik May Set
Modern Mark for
Grid Yardage

BY the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Oct. 31.-If he con-
tinues at his present pace, Halfback
Mary "Tommygun" Tommervik of
Pacific Lutheran College may be the
first gridder in modern football to
amass 1000 yards in a season.
The chunky 171-pounder has COM
pleted 40 passes for 766 yards in five
games, and has run the ball Sc times
for 469 yards for a total of 1885
yards. This averages 247 yards per
game, and Tommervik has three
games left.
Highest yardage recorded by the
American Football Statistical Bu-
reau since it started in 1897 was
1,847 yards by Davey O'Brien of
Texas Christian in 1888.
Tommervik leads the Nations COL
leges in total offense-gains rushing
and passing.
Next is Ben Collins. West Texas
State, who has 874 yards in five
games.
Collins leads rushers with 715
ground yards while Tommervik is
seventh in that respect with 469.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 81
Vanderbilt's unconquered Commo-
dores, sailing the crest of the South
eastern Conference, face stormy
weather when the Big Green Wave
of Tulane rolls against them here
tomorrow before an expected home
coming crowd of 10000.
Coach Red Sanders. whose Com
modores have defeated Purdue, Ten
nesSee Tech, Kentucky, Georgia
Tech and Princeton on successive
Saturdays, said: We're dreading
Tulane. They'll give us the toughest
battle we've faced this year.
If Tulane clicks true to form, the
Vandy pilot will be quite right.
The Wave, after submerging Boston
College and Auburn in rough FASH
ion, was edged out by alert Rice

Greenies rebounded and smashed
North Carolina, 52-6.
Now. after last Saturdays 20-13

Both Southeastern Conference
powerhouses expect to be at nearly
full strength.

that such moneys should be used to
build up the athletic plant, buy gym

BY EARL HILLIGAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. Oct 3i.-
The bellwether of Minnesota's 8 Of
fense, Capt. Bruce Smith, won't
start tomorrow's big gridiron battle
with NorthWestern's title eying
Wildcats-but he'll see plenty Of ac-
ton in an engagement expected to
draw the biggest crowd in Gopher
history into Memorial Stadium.
This information, the most cheer
full bit of news to come from Min
nesota'S big casualty ward all week,
was development which came
after Minnesotas workout today.
Smith, who has done nothing all
week but jog around after taking
heat treatments for a knee twisted
against Michigan, said the member
had "loosened" up and felt much
better
The $1,000 fans scheduled TO be on
hand will see Bill Daley, the Big

guard, definitely is out of the pic
ture, while Herman Frickey, stS-
/ sophomore back, who scored tie
touchdown that beat Michigan last
week, is not expected to enter the
battle.
Doubt whether Smith will be able
to stand much rough going-and the
absence of Pukema-haS dropped
the Western Conference champions
from their favorite's role into an
even-money choice with the in
vaders. Northwestern's backfeld
strength-centered around Bill de
Correvont and Otto Graham-has
made the Wildcats the choice of
many observers to knock the
Gophers out of the undefeated and
united class and wreck their hopes
for q claim to the national title.
r Wildcats Look to Graham.
Northwestern. playing a six-gane
! conference schedule to Minnesota s
tfve-game card, will be "a heavy
favorite for the Big Ten crown if it
takes Minnesota tomorrow.
Northwestern's hopes for victory
lie principally with Graham, as
much of a spark to the Wildcat
attack as Smith has been to the
Gopher offense. This brilliant
Wildcat sophomore can pass, run
and kick, and in every game this
season has given his club a "lift'
as soon as he entered the lineup.
When he's not in there Bill de Cor
revont will be operating at left
half-and De Correvont. as a
sophomore, beat the Gophers with
long run.

Downtowners to Send

Homecoming Game

Neither traditional hobgoblins nor

loWeen could coax 2. goose pimple
out of George Washington's gridmen
today. but mention Clemson on the
G street campus and they dive for
the bomb shelters.
The two tangle tonight at o'clock
at Griffith Stadium. It's the Colo
mails homecoming party and it is
fast-groWing suspicion around
town that G. w. couldn't lick the
class of 09 in a Homecoming game
The last time the Colonials won a
homecoming affair was in 1887
when North Dakota State wound
up on the short end of a $50 count
and Clemson figures to do nothing
to disturb the custom.
The Tigers football suits, G. w.
probably will discover, are not Hal
loween DISCUSSES. Collectively they
represent the best in Dixie football,
despite list weeks humiliating up
set at South Cardinals hands. That
loss may react against the Colonials,
squirting their guests to new heights
in retribution.
Colonials Not Disheartened.
Hammered from pillar to post,
frowned on by the gods of football
and soundly thrashed in their last
four games, the downtown gridmen
still have not lost heart, reports to
the contrary notwithstanding and
will pitch in and do the best they
can tonight. A victory over Glenn
son, loaded with more dynamite
than an excavation crew, would be
too much to expect from Bill Rein
hart's crew, but it will be more
than brisk signal drill for the
visitors
Charley Timmons, one of Glenn
sons battery of big guns, may not
play tonight because of injuries. but
his absence from the lineup should
not make much difference. The
Tigers have couple of other pretty
good boys by the name of Booty
Payne, a triple-threater, and Joe
Blalock, an end, who are dangerous
Payne probably will be the best COL
legiate punter to perform here this
season and has a reputation for
kicking 'em out at the 1-foot and g.
| inch marks.
G. w. Lineup Is Patchy.
George Washington lineup reads
as though it comes straight from
tsAunt Dinah's quilting party. Rein
hart has had to shuttle the deck
/ often this season. but never before
as thoroughly as this time. Bill Bess
/ and AL Romasco, pinch-hitting al
the ends. may decide the Colonials
fate, although they can't win the
game between them. They can helI
a lot by turning back Clemson's
strong TANKER and reverse plays that
no team yet has stopped completely
Stan Ziobro's return to guard after
an unsuccessful trial at end is ex-
pected to bolster the line, which
needs bolstering with Hank Agusie-
wicz out of action. In the event that
Paul Nugent is unable to take his
place in the backfield, Sophomore
Ted Hapanowicz, hard-runnine
youngster, will get a crack at the
role. Otherwise the lineup will be
the same with Slick" Gudmundsor
and Jimmy Graham shouldering the
heavy end of the chores. LIZ

in the summer, it passed the big
fine defense road bill, but the OPP
portunity was too good to skip and
where the President had recon-
mended only $25 100000 for emer-
gency work on our so-called stra-
tegic network and the remainder
of several hundred million for the
sorely needed access roads to
camps and industrial defense CEN
tiers, Congress chunked in an adj
ditional hundred million to be al
located to states under the old
1916 highway fund ALLEGATION rules.
The President promptly We
toed the bill and by the mar
row squeak of one vote the
House of Representatives sus-
tanned that veto. He intimated
that congressman had loaded
the bill with pork barrel"
measures, to gain favor with
their states and districts by
handing them lush ALLEGATIONS
Of unnecessary highway funds.
Some of the Congressman to
uphold the President caught it in
the neck politically. For example,
the opponents of one such came
out with the announcement that
Rep. So-and-So, voting against
overriding the veto, had cost the
state s700O,000 in highway funds.
Another accused their Congress-
men of "sabotaging" the states
S800O,000 road improvement plans.
Congress Immediately set about
to rectify its fizzle, but it meant
putting up another bill-one that
would NOT be vetoed. The whole
business had to go back through
committees and all the haggling
over how much money was to be
spent, who was to spend it, and
where, gone through again.
Finally out of it came the
new S170,0O0,0O0 defense high
way bill, setting aside $780,
100000 for the much needed
access roads. The House passed
it, but i'm doing so, they not
