Gophers Tie Michigan ~ Wisconsin Nps Northwestern 143
Sung By 4Losses,
Minnesota Fights Off
Wolverine Threats
By the Assoeioied Press

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 28.-Min-
nesota's football team. fighting
mad over criticism that followed
four straight defeats, battled the
Michigan Wolverines to TT tie
in a Western Conference football
game today.
A crowd of 60,187 saw the game.
Time after time the Gophers
thwarted what appeared to be
Michigan scoring marches. Their
near goal line stands were some
what reminiscent of more power
full Minnesota teams of past years.
1t was the most consistent display
of teamwork that the Gophers
have staged this year.
1t wasn't until late in the third
period that Michigan was able to
send Fullback Don Dufek over
from the 1-yard line after passes
had worked the ball downfield. It
was the Wolverines third drive
Of the period.
One Drive Burned Out.
That added fuel to the Gophers'
burning irritation. They battled
Michigan to a standstill in the
early minutes of the fourth period.
Playing mostly in Michigan ter
ritory, the one Gopher drive fzzled
out before they could uncork a
pass, Fullback George Hudak to
Darrel tShorty) Cochran, for their
touchdown. Fullback Dave Skrien
kicked the tying point, with only
l minute and 81 seconds of play
remaining.
The tie game was a surprise to
the experts who had predicted
Wolverine victory by at least three
touchdowns.
In addition to its two futile
drives in the third period, pass
lnterception halted Michigan
march In the first period. 1t was
one of four such interruptions that
aided the Gophers during the
game.
Improved Pass Defense.
The Gophers' improved pass de-
tense halted the first of the Mich
1gan marches in the third period.
Finally, Chuck Ortmann clicked.
Minnesota couldn't get its often
slVe going and kicked to Ortmann
on the Minnesota 35-yard line. He
returned the ball to the Mime
sofa 20 and started tossing passes
again to move the ball to the
three. Dufek made a yard through
center and then went over for the
score.
The Gophers' touchdown drive
was their only serious threat to
the Wolverine goal, although on
one occasion they started a strong
attack going in midfeld. 1t ended
with tumble as the second per-
iod ended.

Baltimore Bowlers
Beat Hagerstown

Last Saturday evening, % teams
from the Hagerstown Sunday School
Bowling League travelled to Balti-
more for their annual tournament
with the Sunday School League of
that city. The local delegation did
not fare so well as the Baltimore
league came out on top with a pin
fall of 42,829 to the locals 42,357.
This gives the Baltimore group an
advantage of 472 pins over the Ha-
gerstown group, for the return match
to be held here in September.
In the break down OF the scores.
the Hagerstown ladies had pinfall
of 1874 to the Baltimore Ladies'
17,048, losing by 274 pins. For Ha-
gerstown, Fern Mcdonald, of Tri l.
ity Daisies, proved to be the star,
with single game of IA and total
of 1913. st. Marks Iris turned out
to be tops for teams, with a single
game of $40 and total of 1854 For

the Baltimore ladies, Adair, of Scott

game Q34) and M. Moreland, of
Seimer's Memorial had the top three
game total $3.50. Seimer's Memorial
took care of all team honors, with a
$50 game and 1889 total
The Hagerstown men did not do
so well either as they only had a
pinfall of 25,583 to the Baltimore
leagues 25,781, losing by 1913 pins.
"Chuck" Kline, of Washington
Square Methodist led the way for
Hagerstown, with a single game of
Isl and three-game total of AIT.
Washington Square Methodist team
was tops, with a game of SAB and
total of 1900. In the Baltimore di-
vision, c. Barner, of Hampden Meth
odist, had the top single game with
1853, but T. Edwards, of st. Johns
Methodist, nosed him out for high
pinfall by one pin, with 1872. For
the teams, Hampden Methodist was
tops with a game of GOT and total
of LII.

races, with feature race on each
days card.
One of the most popular half-mile
tracks in the East, the Hagerstown
Today meet is expected to draw
banner crowds.
The Hagerstown High School base
ball team continues its winning ways,
taking their fifth straight game on
Tuesday from Fort Hill, by the lop-
sided score of 10 to 0. The game
was played on the Cumberland dia-
mond.
The Hubs take on st. James this
afternoon on the latter's diamond,
and then travel to Frederick tomor-
row to meet Frederick High.
They finish their season next week,
playing three games under the lights
at the Municipal Stadium. Tuesday
Fort Hill comes in, followed by
Frederick High on Wednesday and
Bladensburg High on Thursday.
That ding dong battle in the ''Y''
County Softball League still con-
tinues, with Pinesburg still Boosting
an undefeated record.
To me, the surprise of the league
is the Charlton Cardinals, who have
always had a really strong team, but
so far this season are having tough
shedding But unless l miss my
guess, they are going to be heard
from before many more games are
played. I was also particularly
pleased, when l got the results on
Monday. to find that the ST Marks
Lions had finally broken into the win
column.
The Sunday results and standings
and next Sundays schedule will be
found elsewhere on this page.
In the Major League so far the
teams nave been pretty well living
up to preseason predictions. With
some thirty or more games played
the Yankees, Tigers and Red Sox are
pretty well punched, with the sur
prise team being the Washington
Senators, who are just four games
off the pace.
In the National League the same
story applies. Only four games sep
arate the league-leading Dodgers and
the birthplace Pirates, with the Phil
lies, as expected, being right in the
thick of the fight, just one game of
the pace.

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

See keeping Up With The
Braves" page z, for the Inter-S State
League standings, postponed games,
schedules for the week, double-plays,
and review of the Braves games
for the past week, including box
scores of Saturday nights double
header at Trenton.
AL Weiderecht, the Braves left
handler, asked to be placed on the
voluntary retirement list and left
for his home right after Saturday
nights game with Trenton.
Tom Astbury, veteran of the
Lancaster club, who was signed by
the Braves on Saturday, broke into
the lineup on Monday night playing
right field in place of Madden. He
went hitless in his four times at bat.
AS this is written, Tuesday after
noon, the club, having signed Asst
bury, still has eighteen players on
the roster, and one would have had
to be cut loose before midnight last
night the deadline in the Interstate
League.
Despite the fact that the team as
whole is not showing anything near
the power at the plate that it is
capable of, the boys have been play
ing heads-up baseball, and when
they hit their stride with the bat
they ought to be a mighty tough
team to beat the rest of the way. One
of the things that pleases me very
much, was the hitting of Jay Sim
mons and Ed Heap on this last road
trip, and, unless Astbury has slipped
all of a sudden, he should be world
of help at the plate.
No doubt, with the fine working
agreement Hagerstown has with the
Boston Braves, Dorman will be able
to keep pace with the other seven
clubs in the league when it comes
to Strengthening any weak spots that
may develop.
OF course, with the club being or
the road for the past week, l have
not had any opportunity to talk tt
Dutch about this, but hope during
this current home stay to get {
statement from him on this very
important subject. But one thing
you can be sure of, and that is thai
Gene Raney, Rufus Edwards, Dutch
Dorman and the Boston Braves are
going to do everything in their col
lective power to keep the Brave!
one of the strongest clubs in the
league.
Hagerstown's annual race NEE
gets started on Tuesday Afternoon
and will continue for 10 days, with
Monday being an off day. Genera
manager Roger Hershey and his as
sociates have the track in fine con
dition and all the leading half-milC

Magazine

The February issue Of the AM

contain an article by Ralphe
Bunche entitled "What America
Means to Me-" The outstanding
Negro diplomat gives a thumbnail
sketch of some of his experiences
in this democracy. He reveals that
race prejudice nearly blocked his
assignment to the State Depart
ment.
"In the months since my name
has been proposed, two or three
high ranking officials in the State
Department had tried to block the
appointment Of my race. My
sponsor finally brought the matter
to Cordell Hull (then Secretary'of
State). He listened to objections,
received an account of my quail
fications, and TIM his famed Ten
nessee temper famed into INJECT
i've. A mans color, he insisted,
made no difference to him. He
wanted qualified men in tina dee
partment. That was the sole con-
sideration that interested him. And
SO I was appointed = the first Ne
gro ever to hold a desk job in
the State Department"
Bunche traces the high points
in his career in the article. From
the announcement received from
the publicity office ofthe Ameri-
can Magazine the story sounds
very interesting.

til now to renew our appeal for
a dollar, two. dollar, Ten dollars,
yes, even fifty dollars if you can
spare it. We will not rest until
we r firmly convinced that the
people of Dayton have no heart.
That is, most ofthe people. So
far we have discovered some who
possess that christian charity.
Our first two contributors, for
example. They responded magnan-
imously and quickly. Mr.. and Mrs.
William Thompson of $50 South
Euclid Ave. made the first con-
tribution. 1t was So. The second
contribution of $3.50 came from
ida Farmer 1--WE are not certain
OF the last n a m e If we are in
correct we wish she would let us
know. For starting off this James
Green fund Mr.. and Mrs. Thomp-
son and Mrs. Farmer should be
congratulated by the community.
They are grand people, they are
generous souls.
The March Of Dimes campaign
has M more day to run. But
James Green's paralysis has a life
time to run. Those of us who are
fortunate enough to be healthy
and in full use of our extremities
should have some understanding
ofw hat it means to live as James
Green has lived, and will continue
to live : crippled. We should un-
derstand that it is not asking too
much out of life for James to
ask for a television set. That is
the very least we can do for him.
