Georgia Tech Streak
In Peril, but Spartans
Are Set for Awhile
BY the ASsocioted Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 21.-Geor-
gia Techs 31-game unbeaten
string-longest in major college
football today-is in serious dan
ger, but Michigan States record
of % consecutive victories looks
good for at least a few more
weeks.
The Engineers expect the
toughest fight since they en-
barked on their undefeated eff
forts with a 46-14 victory over
Davidson in 1850 when they play
top-rated Notre Dame at South
Bend Saturday. Tech was tied
by Duke in 1851 Q4-14 and by
Florida 600 earlier this year
over the course of the 81 con-
tests.
Michigan State, which has
won every game since it dropped
a BAT decision to Maryland early
in so, expects to be under con-
siderably less pressure in facing
Purdue.
Purdue Did 1t Once.
Yet the situation is not
not without it's dramatic aspect.
Purdue in a similar underdog role
the same year Michigan State
and Georgia Tech began their
strings, ended the best modern
major college defeatless skein at
80 games. Its victim was Notre
Dame.
Actually. Tech is carrying the
fourth best unbeaten mark of
modern times against Notre
Dame. Behind the So game
streak built up by the Irish from
1916 to 1850 comes Tennessee
with 33 Q926-3O and Army with
80 Q944-4O.
Michigan State is much closer
to the modern all-victorious rec
ord than is Tech to the unbeaten
standard. The Spartans need
just three to pull even with Okla
homa (1948-5D for the most
consecutive victories. Already
they have bypaSsed arch-rival
Michigan and Princeton, which
posted "a straight triumphs.
SpartanS in Good Position.
The Spartans also are in the
best position to keep their string
going. Biggie Munn's forces, who
haven't scored less than 81
points in four games so far this
season, should handle Purdue
without much trouble. Then
they face Oregon State, the
West Coast outfit that hasn't
scored a single point to date.
Ohio State is 3 weeks away, but
if the Buckeyes don't do better

Hard slugging Bobby is a
good bet to knock in a hundred

famous 9th-inning home run in

Yes, Bobby! One shot lasts

Mister Gus Getting
First Big Test Today
In SS2,O75 Race
By John Chandler
Associated Press Sports Writer


NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Mister
Gus, heralded as one of the
fastest race horses to come along
in half century, gets his first
major test today in the $82,075
East View Stakes at Jamaica,
and if he's all Ted Atkinson says
he is-mark the colt down as
No. l for next years Kentucky
Derby.
A dozen 2-year-olds were en-
tered for the l 1/16-mile spin,
which will be the richest East
View since it's inaugural in 1910.
Actually. Mister Gus, who is
owned by Gustave Ring of Wash
ington, D. c., hasn't proved any
thing except that he really had
it in his first race. The bay son
of Nasrullah has started only
once, at Belmont Park.
That performance, however,
was so impressive the colt
seemed sure to be favored today.
Atkinson, who must ride the
Greentree Stables Palm Tree
this afternoon, eased Mister Gus
the last 10th of a mile on Bel
mont's straight course, then
stood straight up in the saddle
for the last so yards or so.
Even then, Mister Gus came
within a fifth of a second of the
track record, and was only two
f1fths slower than the world
record of 1:08 set in 1904 at
Morris Park in the Bronx by
Artful.
Il was never on a 2-year-old
who impressed me so much,"'
Atkinson said later, and Teddy
has ridden some real champs
such as Tom Fool and Capot.
AS contract rider for Green
tree, Ted has to step aside today,
and the pleasant task falls into
the lap of Eddie Arcaro who has
won the East View with Re-
quested. Better Self and Sport
Page. The winner today will net
$50, 100 compared to the previous
top East View swag, $56,425. won
by Sport Page.
CIV. Whitney's Fisherman, a
triple stakes winner and Palm
Tree appear to be the main ri
walls of Mister Gus.
Others entered were William
Ewing's Gallito, Joe w. Browns
Bobby Brocato, r. S. Lytle's Cor
relation, the Hasty House Farms
Sea O. Erin, Putnam Stables
Swift Sword, Hal Price Headley'S
Pinetum, the King Ranch's Pc
louise and the Brae Burn Farms
War Piper and Striking Hour,
the latter coupled as a betting
entry with Gallito.

Rams Sign Neil Ferris
To Help Replace Fears
BY the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21.-The
Los Angeles Rams have signed
Neil Ferris, formerly of the Phila-
delphia Eagles and Washington
Redskins, to fill a gap on their
squad caused by injury to End
Tom Fears.
Acquisition of the 25-year-old
former star at Loyola University
of Los Angeles will permit the
Rams to use him at defensive
halfback and let Bob Boyd con-
centrate exclusively at end, in
Fears place.
Ferris injured a shoulder in
an exhibition game this season
and was released by the Eagles.
He has recovered. Fears back
injury, suffered in the Detroit
game last Sunday. will keep him

Although his strange training
methods have been as unorthodox
as his awkward fighting style,
the 25-year-old British Negro
said fatty, "I'll prove I was right.
I'll win and bring back the cham
pionship to England"
Olson, poker faced and quiet,
said calmly, "I'll take the title. I"
Then he left the rest of the talk
ing, as usual, to Manager Sid
Flaherty.
"OlSon will win" was the
studied prediction of Robinson,
who fought them both twice.
The two will battle for the crown
Sugar Ray abdicated nine months
ago.
"Can't Go Back"
"OlSon is aggressive and very
busy" Robinson said. "He gives
you no room and he thinks fast.
Turpin can't go back. I found
that out. Olson will keep coming" "
Even the visiting British
writer's and Jack Solomons, Lon
don promoter, have soured on
their headStrong color-bearer.
II don't approve the way Tur-
pin has trained" Solomons said.
HE should have boxed more. His
timing is off. If it goes Is rounds
Olson will win"
Turpin hasn't boxed since last
Thursday. Despite Turpin's pc
culiar tactics and the big odds
against him, the Briton's name is
still magic at the box Office.

The Internationl Boxing Club

more than $4,000 in the till.

as fast company as the 20-year-
old back from Columbia, S. c..

Nebraska, 129 against Stanford,
1872 against Ohio State and 205
against Minnesota.
Busiest Runner.
What's more, Caroline has
carried the ball 80 times, a 20
per-game average that makes
him the busiest as we'll as the
most effective runner in the
country. And his average of 8.35
yards per try is best among the
frequent ball carriers.
He is 129 yards ahead of sec

More Space Needed,
Tour Of Jail Shows
Two Commissioners

Two of the District Commits
sioners made an exhaustive tour
of the District Jail yesterday and
came away glad they have backed
at least one relatively modest
enlarging project.
Commissioners Samuel Spen-
Ger and Renah F. Camalier COW
cred about two miles, walking
upstairs, downstairs and in the
inmates chambers. Their guides
were Donald Clemmer, director
of corrections, and Col. Curtis
Reid. Jail superintendent.
The city heads warmly praised
the jail operation, handicapped
as it is by chronic overcrowding.
"Mr. Clemmer and Col. Reid
are doing a magnificent job." Mr..
Camalier said. Recalling that as
an assistant United States At
torney he was familiar with the
institution setup 20 years ago,
Mr.. Camalier said he noted a
tremendous improvement.
"The cleanliness exceeded ex-
pectations and I'm proud of the
increased security" he said. The
only trouble, he added, is the
overcrowding manifested by the
use of double-decker hunks. All
dormitory hunks are jammed
within 2 feet of each other.
It would be model jail except
for that shortcoming, he said,
In that connection the two
commissioners studied f1rst-hand
the huge ree-story-high ro-
tunda in the old building. It is
that section for which they have
earmarked $4,000 in the pro-
posed six-year $685. million pub
