 Practice makes perfect.
 One fan expressed the thought that Jimmy Piersall, Leavenworth baseball luminary, ought to try out for the football team after seeing him toss the ball around the field at the half time with apparent ease. I asked this fan which one was Pearsall? GAS if I couldn't guess) and he replied: That handsome bruiser holding the line marker"
 Praise was forthcoming from all quarters on the splendid offensive and defensive ball-playing of Jimmy Lombard of Crosby and Nick Ro- Russo, Dave Miklenovich and Steve Latimer, Bernie Lawlor, and Joe Perrone for the Tech team. AS matter of fact, one fan said, Both teams did swell considering that Tech was mastering the spread for- nation for the first time under re- alistic conditions and Crosby was coming face to face with 1t for the first time"
 Two gentlemen (nameS withheld for security reason) who had been uplifted by much too intimate as- sociation with the spirits" gave a few fans including your reporter, Q good laugh and something to think about. Their somewhat con- fused thoughts on the local football tilt went something like this: Jake: "The Yale Bowl seems to have got- ten a little smaller this year." Pete: Who's playing today?" An aYl- noyed bystander: Crosby and Leav. enworth are playing today Now pipe down! You're in Waterbury, buddy, not the Yale Bowl" Pete: Ohl At the Waterbury stadium; L'eav- enworth and Crosbyl Come on got any money "a want to put on that inSinuation have ya?" Pete: Leavenworthl Jake: "Ya haven't T insinuate that Leavanworth is going to win today and I got buck CnaL says 10, LOO. Jake: xou kOC yourself 6 hetl" The game ended in favor of Tech, 6 to 3, and your reporter who had hurried away in the last few minutes of the game to witness Crosby making a futile last ditch try rejoins Jake and Pete to see the payoff. Jake is taking Pete g buck with unrestrained glee as he licks his chops in anticipation when Pete says: That wasn't 6 fair bet. You should have given me odds on that game" Jake: "Leavenworth was the better team and should have given you odds?" Pete: But the game were they?" Jake: "They must've been if they won! But they weren't the better team before tell you what I'll do; I'll buy you c drink and we'll call 1t even." Pete was satisfied, Jake was satisfied, Leavenworth was happy, they won, the fans had gotten their moneys worth and everybody was happy. Pete and Jake have left and ali the local color and excitement are no more SO I guessed I would 90 home, too. It was very interesting game, all in all.

PURDUE AND ALABAMA NOW UP THERE

NOmhD@NA 1AN18 wv VI NNA~SN~I
 New York, oct. 3l-(UP)-Boop- Poop Purdue rode right up there with the nations top football teams today after it's astounding upset of Ohio State. Alabama was winging not far behind on the whiplash passing arm of Harry Gilmer.
 Fourteen teams in all remained unbeaten and untied as the seaSon rounded out it's first month but their number can dwindle sharply this week if the games follow the pattern of last weeks upsets in which Ohio State and Georgia, among others, bit the dust.
 Both Army and New face dan gerous opponents. The Cadets play . strong Duke team that expects to have key players back in action. Navy, % to victor over Georgia Tech but lucky to win according to some observers, plays the red hot Pennsylvania Quakers and the odds will be close.
 The various sectional races shape up as follows:
 East-Army, Navy, Columbia, Holy Gross, Temple, and Pennsyl- vania all uhbeaten and united. Col umbia sees visions of Q Rose Bowl invitation after its 31 to 0 troncing of Colgate but has some stln foes still on the list including Penn. Arrny's first team romped as usual over the Melville torpedo boatmen but the second Stringers caused con- cern when they started the game and surrendered two quick touch- downs. Holy Cross had little trouble against Brown but will have more this week with Colgate. Temple trounced West Virginia while Penn was idle.
 Midwest.-Purdue and Minnesota both unscathed with the Boiler makers the toast of the big 10 as a result of their 36 to 13 pasting of Ohio State. Minnesota was only slightly less impressive in disposing of Northwestern. Oklahoma A. & M., running independent, thrashed Utah to remain undefeated. okla homa and Missouri are tied for the Big Six leadership after victories over Kansas and Kansas State but neither has showed impressively outside its own loop.
 StandOut
 South-Alabama towers over the field after troucing Tennessee 25 to 2 and if the Crimson Tide gets by Georgia this week 1t has almost clear sailing to one of the major bowls. Georgia, with Charley Trippi back in the lineup. was . big dis- appointment in a $2 to o loss at the hands of Louisiana State but can be expected to bounce back against Alabama. Mississippi State defeated Maxwell field to remain in the un- beaten ranks. Auburn surprised Tu- lane, 20 to l4, in the upset of the day in that section.
 9outhWeSt-TexaS iS almost Q cinch to repeat as cattle country champion after quelling the Arkan. sas threat, 34 to 2. Texas plays Rice this week and should keep its record spotless.
 Far West-St. Mary;s is the only undefeGted team in the section but the Gaels don't come in for Pacific Coast conference or Rose Bowl con. sideration. Southern California still looks the best in the conference and the TroJans' prospects of . third straight trip to Pasadena.

NOUlSOu kECoS OROA - NAAOsI
 New York, oct. 22-(UP)- The annual autumnal madness of se- lecting All-America football teams was building up today to fever pitch and as usual, 1t made about as much sense as arguing with your wife.
 A conversational conflict with the better half, as mater of fact, would have better chances. There's just remote possibility that you might for once be right. But in the matter of all-Ameticas it's very doubtful possibility that anybody could name the Il best football players in these United States.
 Take the backfield, for instance. Your chances are better there be- cause you have four spots to fill against two guards, tackles and ends and only one center. So just step up, brother, and fill those four spots from among the following:
 Felix (Doc) Blanchard-Army fullback currently being compared with the great Nagurski. Admittedly one of the greatest line plungers or the past decade.
 Glenn Davis-Army halfback who Saturday matched Blanchard's three touchdowns with scoring runs of 77, 4l and % yards. Described as fast as the wind and twice as hard to catch"
 Herman Wedemeyer-St. Marys back, a Hawaiian with Hula hips who does everything there is to do with a football, running, passing and kicking.
 I'd Cody-Purdue powerhouse who raced 4S, 17 and three yards for touchdowns in an upset victory over Ohio State. bucking the Buckeyes right out of the Big Ten title.
 Jack Peek-O Only l5S, but Georgia Techs glad he's on their side. went 70 yards to score against powerful Navy and was the biggest little man on any of Saturdays football fields
 Stan Koslowski-the blond bomb. CT from Holy Cross who scored iS points and tossed another touch- down as the crusaders romped on unbeaten.
 Clyde Scott-Navy backfield ace who appropriately halls from Smackover, Ark, the best of the sailor horde of all-star leather lug gers.
 Like Luckman?
 Gene Rossides-whom proud Lou Little compares to his great Sio Luckman in the business of fling ing a football. The galloping Greek went 72 yards for touchdown IT. keeping the Lions undefeatec against Colgate and contributed several other long runs and passes
 Harry Gilmer--pride of the un' halted Crimson Tide of Alabama Scored, threw another and set ur third in walloptng Tennessee Completed l2 of % aerialS.
 Frank Dancewicz-brains of un- beaten Notre Dame; the guy whc makes the Irish tick. "DazSled" With his runbacks, passed for two touch. downs and set up a third aAsins' Pitt.
 Bob Tenimore-one of ie4Ps high. est -touted "alls"-and he hasn'' lost Q thing in pacing Oklahoma A & M. to four straight.
 Byron 0illory-a real Texas pc man, tossing two scores and tally ing himself as the longhor1t downed Arkansas and stayed un' beaten.
 George Taliaferro-scatter. .fcotet TA and eS yards for Indiana touch downs in the route of Iowa.
 There you have just Q bakerI dozen that come to mind quickly when the talk turns to the nations top backs. Five will get you ter that somebody will set up how just because his favorite "All Amer lea" choice wasn't mentioned.
