The odds today were against all
of the big four" of college football
Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State
and Southern MISUNDERSTANDING
unbeaten and united for the balance
of the campaign.
Not q week has gone by without
one of the major teams being
knocked off the unbeaten and un-
tied list. Last Saturday, for instance,
Penn, Georgia Tech and Utah were
sent sprawling of the spotless
perch. 8. M. U. had a close call,
coming from behind to win.
AS it stands now, S. M. U. with
eight straight wins, is in the most
precarious position of the current
list. The Mustangs still have to
hurdle troublesome Baylor next Sat
Lrday and Texas Christian the fol-
lowing week.
The next toughest job confronts
Notre Dame, winner of seven games
The Irish, who either took it easy
or were hard pressed when they
emerged with 26-19 win over
Northwestern Saturday, face real
test in what will probably be called
"the game Of the year" when they
engage Southern California on De-
cember 6. During the interim Notre
Dame will take on oft-subdued Tu-
lane in q breather. The Trojans
also are unbeaten, although their
record Is marred by q TT tie with
Rice. They have won six.
Michigan and Penn State are al
most certain to end the regular
campaign undefeated. The Rose
Bowl bound wolverines should make
it nine in a row when they meet a
debated Ohio State team in their
final game Of the season. Ditto for

Meanwhile, the New York Yankees
crept step closer to the Eastern
crown as a result of their 1913
triumph over the Los Angeles Dons
in the Yankee Stadium.
The Yanks, who met the Browns
in playoH for the loop champion
ship last year, need only two more
wins to gain their second straight
division crown. They lead the run
nerup Buffalo Bills, who were idle,
by a game-and-a-half. However,
they have to play Cleveland here
next Sunday.
Spec Sanders sparked the Yankee
win. The brilliant back pitched
both Of the New Yorkers' touchdown
passes and picked up 159 yards on
the ground to increase his total for
II games to 1903, new pro record.
The old mark of 1904 was set by
Beattie Feathers for the Chicago

Gambino's Lead 10
Only Six Points
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 17-Just
about the time everybody agrees
that this years Southern Conference
individual point making race will be
won by Maryland's Lu Gambino,
star halfback from Baltimore, Will
liam and Mary's Jack Cloud comes
flying along.
Gambino, who was ahead in the
scrable a week ago by 30 points, still
led after last weeks contests had all
been played, but LUIS margin had
been sliced to only six points.
Gambino, unable to score, as were
the rest Of the Terps in Saturdays
1870 loss to North Carolina, led the
league scoring with "a points, while
Cloud, who tailed four times in
William and Mary's 45-6 triumph
over Washington and Lee, had 78.
In third place were Jim Reynolds,
Clemson back, and Ray Beasley,
Virginia Tech halfback, each with
AZ points. Stanlay Magdziak, the
William and Mary kicking and pass
ing specialist, had 40 points, % of
them from placements after touch
downs.
The Southern Conference gets
down to its most serious business
Of the campaign Saturday when
North Carolina's meeting with Duke
at Durham, N. c., is almost certain
to determine the 1947 league cham
pion.
Dukes Blue Devils, currently
leading the loop with three vic
tories and tie, can win the title
by beating the neighboring Tar
Heels. IT Duke loses, William and
Mary's Indians could take the crown
by downing the University of Rich
mond in their Thanksgiving Day
contest at Richmond.
The only other conference game
this week will find Davidson at The
Citadel Saturday.

Dissatisfaction PGA
May Gust Vic Ghezzi
At Annual Meeting
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Pro-
fessional Golfers Association today
opened a dissension-torn annual
meeting in which Ben Hogan de-
mands q thorough airing of an
alleged smear campaign" against
President Ed Dudley and Vic Ghezzi
faces possible expulsion for blast
at the method of Ryder Cup selec-
tions.
Hogan is determined-with a
strong hint of throwing a punch or
two in righteous indignation-to get
a showdown on accusations that:
/. He is lined up with Dick Metz
and Horton Smith in a faction
which seeks to oust Dudley as pres
ident and is booming Smith for the
post in the annual election
scheduled tomorrow. Dudley has
been PGA president for five years.
2. He was burned up when re
tired" Byron Nelson, his former
Texas golfing buddy, was named on
the Ryder Cup team which trounced
Britain at Portland, Greg, Novem-
ber 2-3.
Also on the Ryder Cup subject,
Ghezzi tossed another stick of dyna-
mite at the already strained assem-
blage of professional COLTS hierarchy
last night with a charge he was
robbed" of a chance to play on the
American squad and also that the
PGA Tournament Committee did a
secret" about ut-face on its policy
against treated" scorings on club
faces.
George Schneiter, chairman of the
Tournament, Committee, promptly
said the Ryder Cup selections were
fair and square and that there was
nothing mysterious about the PGA's
decision to let players swing with
the type of club facings they pre-
ferred. tSchneiter admitted the
PGA gave a stn1ner-long trial to
rigid inspection against extreme
to give players better con-
troll of the ball, but dropped the
practice last September because the
United States Golf Association
failed to co-operate.')

Michigan Draws Bead
On Notre Danes
National Crown
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-Already
established as the Big Mines cham
pionship and unoficial Rose Bowl
representative, undefeated Michigan
today drew bead on Notre Danes
National football crown which the
also unbeaten Irish seemingly had
recaptured until last Saturday.
The rampaging Wolverines, barring
"a sensational upset, should grab
their ninth straight victory Of the
season against inept Ohio State Sat-
urday as the conference season
closes with a four-game program
which will do nothing more than
settle runner-up honors
Michigan's form in routing once
hopeful Wisconsin, 40-6, to clinch
the conference title at Madison.
Wis, last Saturday was far more
impressive than the performance
of the Irish in hurdling Northwest
|ern, 26-19. at Evanston, Ill.
With Statistical Margin.
Wolverine partisans now can point
to wide Michigan statistical mar
gin over Notre Dame against two
mutual opponents. Michigan earlier
belted Northwestern 1921, while
against Pitt, the Wolverines ran up
800 count, contrasted with Notre
Danes 40-6 conquest of the PAM
thers.
Notre Dame and Michigan have
been running one-two in the AS
sociated Press poll of sports writer's,
but last week ends proceedings at
Madison and Evanston may change
lot of minds in this weeks ballot
ing.
Even If Michigan is spilled by
Ohio State, a development which
would stun an expected crowd Of
10000 at their Ann Arbor finale,
the Wolverines still would hold the
championship and Big Nine faculty
representatives in their Rose Bowl
poll scheduled next Sunday osten-
sibly would have no other choice
except to send Coach Fritz Crisler's
crew to Pasadena next New Year
Day.
Saturdays closing card finds Wis.
consin, Purdue and Illinois, the de-
Tending champion, battling for Sec
ond place. The Badgers. despite
their trimming by the Wolverines,
currently hold the No spot with
three victories, one defeat and a tie,
and close at Minnesota (2-3).
Illinois, Purdue Tied.
Illinois, which handed Ohio State
a 2S-7 lacing behind the sharp
shooting of Perry Moss. and Purdue,
fresh from pounding Pitt. $50, as
hurrying Harry Szulborski rushed
119 yards in IS attempts, each have
80 league records.
The Illini windup at home against

Northwestern Q-4, while Purdue
tackles unpredictable Indiana o.
BID in their traditional scrap for
the old oaken bucket at Blooming
ton. The Hoosiers warmed-up for
the Boilermakers with 1876 waltz
over Marquette.

with a startling upset of Minnesota,
1877, to climax an all-around startl-
ing Hawkeye week end in which
Coach Eddie Anderson announced
he was resigning his Iowa post.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IT.
Freddie Apostoli and George

Navy men during the war, meet
again in a 10-round match tonight,
and this time It's for keeps.
Apostoli, former middleweight

making his 14th start in a comeback
campaign that began in the summer
of 1916. Abrams, from Washington,
D. c., outrates any foe he has faced
in that string.
. The clever George is regarded as
faster and a better boxer, but Apos-
tolls body attack is rated solid
enough to make it an even money
fight.
A gate of $4,000 was predicted,
which would surpass the indoor rec
ord OF nearly $4,000 set by Henry

Rough Bear Ram Tilt
Is Marked by Fights
During and After
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1.-THE
lustiest donnybrooks in present-day
football are the ding-dongs put on
by the Chicago Bears and the Los
Angeles Rams-coached by ex-
Bears.
The Bears and Rams tangled
literally-here yesterday. The har-
vest: a 41-21 Bear victory, five play
er expulsions, a possible broken jaw
for Ram Star Bob Waterfield, ITO
yards in penalties, and vigorous
post-game f1sticuffs.
Involved in the dressing room
squabble were Ram Head Man Bob
Snyder and assistant. George Traf-
ton, both former Bears, and Jack
Matheson, 228-pound Chicago end.
Witnesses said Snyder landed the
best blow-a solid right to Mathe-
sons chin-after the player had
walked into the Rams quarters.
Players from both squads milled at
the door, but cooler heads prevailed.
Bulldog Turner Apologies.
A heated argument leading to
the blows started when MatheSon
tried to take a ball away from and
then assertedly struck Buddy Lem
niger, Ram equipment boy Math-
eson contended it was the game
ball; Leininger insisted it was a
practice ball.
The Bear captain, Clyde Dull
dog Turner later apologized for
the act.
The five players dismissed from
the game for various stages of un-
sportsmanlike conduct were AL
Smith, Ed Sprinkle and Ed Cifers,
all Bear ends, and Backs Mel Bleek-
er and Dante Magnani of the Rams.
Magnani is another ex-Bear.
Snyder charged that Sprinkle
socked Waterfleld on the jaw in the
second quarter. X-ray pictures
were being studied today.
"I knew it was going to be rough" +"
Snyder said later. This was a
must game for the Bears, and there
isn't any love lost between us, any
way"
Halas Lectures Bears.
During the fourth quarter things
got so rugged Papa Bear, George
Halas, called his team over to the
sidelines for lecture. He said it
was an order to ''cut out the rough
stuff"
The Bears we're penalized II times
for ia yards and the Rams five
times for Sc yards. Experienced
observers detected several other in
fractions that might have been
called. Between exchanges, Sid
passed for three touch
downs and directed three on the
ground to extend the Bears win
string to seven.
In their game here last year-also
won by the Bears, 27-21-the rivals
drew penalties totaling 215 yards
140 for the Bears. But no one was
tossed out.
The next meeting of the Rams
and Bears is scheduled for Decem-
ber 7 (Pearl Harbor Day. in Chi
cago.
