NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Having
shattered two National collegiate
marks in forward passing, once
beaten Nevada goes after fistful Of
other records tomorrow when the
Wolfpack winds up highly success
full football season against Wichita.
In eight games, Nevada has aver
aged an unprecedented 484.8 yards
per contest by both rushing and
passing. If 1t nets 2s7 yards against
Wichita, 1t will break the record Of
1927 yards averaged over a full sea-
son by the great Army team Of 1915.
It's aerial game has accounted for
2,l51 yards and as touchdowns-
both new records-and its total Of
135 competitions is far and away the
best in the country.
In announcing the weekly Stats
tics for major colleges today, the
National Collegiate Athletic Bureau
disclosed that Nevada needs only 10
pass completions against Wichita to
break the seasonal record Of lat set
last year by Mississippi.
The Wolfpack also has q chance
TO finish with the lowest number of
pass interceptions, the lowest per-
centage Of pass interceptions and
the highest percentage Of compile
tions, depending on what success its
f1ne passer, Stan Heath, has tomor-

All-victorious Army retained its
position as the country's rushing
leader and runnerup to Nevada in
overall offense. The Cadets have
averaged 344.6 yards per game on
the ground and 1895 by both run
ming and passing.

Sun Bowl kogu| Says
Negro Player Eligible
BY the Asseeiassd Press

EASTON, Pa. Nov. 24.-Lafayette
College authorities were hoping to-
day that someone would throw a
little light on the Sun Bowl situation
after an apparent misunderstanding
over a Negro player.
DR.. Ralph G. Hutchison, Lafayette
president, announced yesterday the
Pennsylvania college had rejected
q bid to the New Year Day game at
FL Paso, Tex, because 1t would not
be permitted to play Dave Shovel
Negro back from Prospect Park, Pa.
DR.. Hutchison told 1900 demon
strating Lafayette students the bid
to play Texas College of Mines was
rejected as the result of telephone
conversation between William H
Anderson, Lafayette director OF
athletics, and c. D. Belding, chair
man Of the Game Selection Com
mittee OF the Sun Carnival Assocja-
ton.
Anderson said Belding told him
the laws of Texas forbid a Negro
playing in the stadium where the
New Years Day game is to be held
At FL Paso, however, Belding
denied he told Anderson that
Shovel would not be permitted to
play. Belding said the only stipu-
lation made was that the Negro
player would have to be housed in
separate lodgings under Texas law

sits back and waits for you to make
one mistake. Take today's game.
We were using a 1872 defense with
our tackles holding up their ends.
On one play they failed to do so
and Pantos threw a great pass.
