Outrushed, 221 yards to a minus 6, the underdog Engineers climaxed an uphill struggle at Atlanta, Ga., with a 20-yard field goal by Allen Bowen for their winning margin. The three-pointer came in the last period after the Midshipmen had taken a 15-14 edge on a safety. The Engineers then dug in and repelled a last-minute Navy drive by hold- ing for downs on the 1-yard line. Notre Dame, the country’s No. 1 eleven, entertained a home- town crowd of 40,000 at South Bend by overcoming a stubborn Wisconsin team, 28 to 13, which became the first to cross the Irish goal line this season. The individual playing of Wisconsin’s Earl (Jug) Girard overshadowed that of Notre Dame’s Bob Kelly. Army, ranked No. 2 nationally, ran wild again at West Point, pil- ing up a 76-0 score on the United States Coast Guard academy, a team which previously had lost only to Yale. The largest crowd of the after- noon — 73,477 — saw Ohio State’s Buckeyes explode for three touch- downs in the last quarter to break a 6-6 deadlock and whip Great Lakes, 26 to 6, at Columbus. Ohio’s 167- pound back, Les Horvath, caught fire in the final period and sparked the Bucks to their fourth straight triumph. North Carolina Preflight, the only other team in the top ten to play Saturday afternoon, barely saueaked by the Georgia Preflight- ers. A field goal from the eight- yard line by Buell St. Johns, with only seven seconds left, kept the Cloudbusters in the undefeated class with a 3-0 triumph. It was forty-eight years in coming, but Kansas finally licked Nebraska. The Jayhawk- ers turned the trick with a 20- 0 triumph at Lawrence, Kan. Iowa State and Missouri, and Brown and Holy Cross each put on a thrilling offensive program, but finished their games all even. The Cyclones and the Tigers wound up in a 21-21 tie while Brown and Holy Cross finished at 24-24. Another last period field goal— by Billy Jones from the seven-yard line—gave Tulane a 16-13 triumph over Auburn at New Orleans.

KANSAS SOCKS NEBRASKA 20-0 Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 21—(I. N. S.)\—Kansas university Saturday won its first victory over Nebraska on home soil since 1896, by the score of 20 to 0. First score came midway in the second quarter when Kansas’ Riegle blocked Hollins’ punt on the Nebraska 6-yard line and carried the ball across the pay marker. Chestnut’s try for the extra point was good. In the third quarter after a march from Nebraska’s 43-yard line, Barrington passed to Moffett for 6 points. Chestnut completed his sec- ond drop kick. Final score of the game came in the last quarter when Moffett pitched a 20-yard pass to Riegle waiting in the end zone. This time Chestnut’s drop kick was short. Score by quarter: Kansas ......

AWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 21.—Declaring he was not a prose- cutor but was fighting the “professional gambling ro- dent” who attempts to “fix” games, Dr. Forrest ©. (Phog) Allen Saturday night supplied Ned Irish of the Madison Square Garden with the names of “more than two college athletes” - involved in what he charged was a scandal in eastern basketball last winter, Allen, University of Kansas bas- ketball coach, said one of the men, whom he declined to name publicly but whose name was included in the telegram to Irish, “was one of the best basketball players in his part. of the country.” “Noboby knows how much money was involved,” Allen said. “It was enough to cause his immediate dis- missal from the team, however, when the word got out.” Allen, telling Irish that proof of his. information was extremely dif- ficult to obtain, said that “Tom Dewey is the only fellow that I know of who has been able to bust rackets in New York.” Allen, in a letter to this writer, and to Jack Carberry, DENVER POST sports editor, recently called for appointment of a “Judge Landis for college ath- letics,” asserting that unless the colleges do something about con- ditions “as sure as you live the thing is going to crack wide open sometime when they lay bare a scandal where some group of col- lege boys have thrown a game for a tidy sum that will rock the college world. “Tt already has happened in New York in Madison Square Garden but the newspapers have kept it quiet, or fairly quiet.” Allen asserted Saturday that he would stand by that statement. He read the. contents of his wire to Irish, in which he pointed out that the New York basketball promoter was doing a “highly efficient pro- motional” job. “My desire,” Allen continued, “ to awaken the college presidents of America to their responsibility in providing a source of power in fighting these professional gam- bling rodents.” In answer to Trish’s telegram re- questing the names and proof to substantiate the charges, Allen said he wired “T have made the statement that it was alleged that basket- ball players sold out to gamblers, or were connected in such a way that they were dismissed from the squad ... It is very diffi- cult to get proof to substantiate certain charges in my posses- sion . . . Much information that it has is from coaches who frankly and honestly told me things for which they now re- fuse to take public responsi- bility.” Irish, in his: wire to Allen, asked for names and proof so the informa- tion could be supplied to the schools whose teams might have been in- volved. Irish also pointed out that the Garden management had made every possible effort to keep down gambling on the big time games played there. Allen charged that one spectator kissed a Japanese-American Utah player last winter after he dropped in a field goal to cut Kentucky’s margin to 8 points. The K. U. coach said the gamblers were lay- ing 10 points on Kentucky and that the gentleman with the kiss for the player won $15,000 because of the 2-pointer, Those two teams were not the teams involved in the game about which Allen Saturday wired Irish. He declined to name the teams but stressed they were not involved in the game of “the $15,000 kiss.” Allen said also that Vadal Peterson, Utah coach, knocked down a gam- bler who approached him. Allen asserted that it was high time to name a commissioner of collegiate sports and pay him as much as $100,000 a year if necessary to clean up collegiate athletics, “There is more money being bet on football and basketball games in America today than is bet on all the horse races in the country,” he said. irish Cannot Recall Details New York, Oct. 21—(I. N. S.)— Ned Irish, acting president of Madi- son Square Garden, flatly denied the report Saturday that he had approached Coach Ey Shelton of Wyoming university and warned the mentor that his basketball team should be “careful of any ap- proaches by gamblers.” The report and denial came quick- ly in the wake of a DENVER POST story printed Friday in which For- rest (Phog) Allen, University of Kansas coach, accused college bas- ketball teams of throwing games at Madison Square Garden for the benefit of gamblers. Shelton, thru Jack Carberry, sports editor of THE POST, said: “When I took my teams to the Garden, Ned Irish came to me and asked me to be careful of any ap- proaches by gamblers. He asked me if I was sure of the loyalty of my players, and I told him that I was.” Irish, when informed of Shelton’s statement, replied: “I cannot recollect ever going up to a basketball coach and warning him to watch out for gamblers. There have ‘been times when I ex- pressed a desire to have college basketball players free of any ap- proaches by ticket scalpers, but as far as questioning the loyalty of col- lege athletes, well, I just wouldn’t —and didn’t—do it.” Irish also denied a report that Allen had wired to the Garden a detailed accusation against certain teams. “I’ve wired THE POST requesting proof of the charges Allen has made, but so far I haven’t seen any word from Allen,” Irish said. “We (the Garden authorities) take every step to suppress gam- bling, and we always have,” Irish concluded. Shelton Tells His Experiences Ev Shelton, Wyoming coach, was in Denver Saturday. He came to the office of THE DENVER POST to tell of his experiences when Wyoming university played in Mad- ison Square garden. The Cowboys have made four trips east, Shelton said. Shelton stated that no gambler had, as far as he knew, ever ap- proached any Wyoming player. He stated that, on his last appearance in New York with Wyoming, he was playing Georgetown. Georgetown was the favorite. Shelton said Ned Irish, Madison Square garden promoter, first called on Elton Davis, Wyoming’s director of athletics, warning against the possible approach of gamblers. Shelton said Irish asked Davis if he was “sure” of “his boys.” Davis assured him no Wyoming player would “sell out”—even think of such a thing, Shelton said. “After that,” said Shelton, “Trish came to me and asked me if I was sure of the boys. I told him we were—that there was no danger of our kids ever listening to anybody in connection with anything crooked. “Irish had our rooms guarded after that.” In Salt Lake City Les Goates, sports editor of the Deseret News, last March interviewed Vadal Pe- terson, Utah coach, after the lat- ter returned home from New York. | The Deseret News told how Peter- son was approached by a New York gambler in his rooms. This man Yame to Peterson's door and asked him “How much will you take to lose to Dartmouth?” Peterson said he did not knock the man down, as stated by Forrest (Phog) Allen. “I pushed him away from the door, and I told him where to go,” said Peterson. Peterson said that the Utah club was guarded against gam- blers. The situation was so bad, he said, that he directed his as- sistant, Pete Couch, and Gradu- ate Manager Keith Brown, to remain with the club at all times. Peterson even had the phone con- nections to the Utah rooms sey- ered, he said. Shelton, on his visit to THE POST, quoted Buddy Hassett, a member of the Georgetown club, when Wyoming played in New York, as telling him that a gambler, by phone, approached two Georgetown players. Shelton named the players. The men, he said, tried to get the gambler to come to their room for the purpose, according to Hassett, of giving him a good beating. Here, above, is a typical the Oklahoma A. and M.-Denver U. game Saturday. Bob Fenimore pass. This one occurred in the third period of | It shows Fenimore, the Aggies’ pass- ing, running and kicking star, getting off a pass to End Glenn Moore that was good for 35 yards. Fennimore, as can be seen, throws the ball not unlike a baseball catcher making a peg to second base. He throws low, fast and right on the target. Altho Moore, as can be seen, was surrounded by D. U. players, the pass was so true and so spéedy that none had a shite to ve hand on a the ee the eR Denver university 21.” “Woodward Wraith.” pounds. caught baseballs. There are other good men— mighty good men, on the Oklahoma club. One is Cecil Hankins of Du- rant, another is End Glenn Moore of Morris in the Sooner state. But when you add it all up—yardage, and kicks and passes and scores, the answer spells “Bob Fenimore.” Denver had nothing to apologize or in its defeat+not unless you want to toss in a bit of bad strategy as the clock showed two minutes and fifteen seconds to go. Denver kicked off. Instead of kicking out of bounds—the score at that time was Oklahoma 27, Denver 21—the Pioneers elected to boot it straight, and true, to Hankins. Hankins caught it smack-dab on his own 10. He ran forward 3 yards. He zigged to his left for 8 yards. He raced 5 yards forward. And who do you think was crossing his path at that moment? It was Bob Fenimore. And, as natural a thing as a man could do, Hankins did. He passed the ball to Fenimore on the criss- cross and the “Wraith” just headed for the Denver goal line. The truth was it wasn’t such a brilliant run. There was nothing of that fine thing called team foot- ball in the play. Nobody on Bob Fenimore’s side threw a block. No- body had to. The fact is—and it was a fact GEORGIA TEC Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21 —(A (hPL Miss., freshman tailback, supplied the margin after the Middies had gone out front with a safety, 15-14. The Navy was stopped twice in the shadow of the Tech goal, once by the clock to end the first half on the two-yard line, and the oth- er time at the Tech one, with less than a minute to play. The Middies lost no time get- ting started as Bobby Jenkins, for- mer University of Alabama star, ran 83 yards with the opening kick- off. Vitor Finos came in to try for the extra point, but it was wide. The Engineers, with Frank Broyles throwing strikes to Phil Tinsley, moved 40 yards to the Navy 15, but the drive stalled and Bruce Smith kicked out. Broyles quick-kicked in return and Tech got the bali at the Navy nine as James Carring- ton, Middy guard, clipped Tins- ley with the ball in play. Broyles plunged over in three tries and A. Bowen made it 7-6 with a perfect placement. Coming back strong in the third period, the Navy scored in six plays, driving 45 yards with Ralph Ellsworth, ex-Texas star, going over from the nine. Finos’ placement made it 13-7 with Navy ahead. It was Tech’s turn next and they came thru, later in the quar- ter, as Billy Williams plowed over guard from the one. Two passes, both from Tex Ritter to George Matthews, carried 36 yards to set ap the play, and A. Bowen’s kick made it 14-13 for Tech. Again the Middies swept up- field, 70 yards this time, with Jenkins, easily the game’s of- fensive star, leading the way. Jenkins fumbled at the five and Tinsley recovered.

Okla. who caught, one- all afternoon—Bob Fenimore just runs faster than the other boys who were out there on the field. On this particular gallop no less than four—possibly six—D. U. men were in positions where, if they could run as Fenimore runs, they might well have driven him outside. But there wasn’t any- body} around who ran that way —and so that was Oklahoma A. - & M.’s final touchdown. The others came this way: Oklahoma kicked off—and bad. D. U. had it on the 35. Johnny Karamigios, who played a whale of a game thruout, made 7. Bob Hazel- hurst, the most improved man on the D. U. squad, and a coming foot- ball great, drove for a first down on the 45. Duke Brafford threw a wobbly pass that lit in Fenimore’s arms on the Oklahom 35. Fenimore took off and ran to the goal line 65 yards away. Hankins kicked goal and the score was Oklahoma 7, Denver 0, and two minutes and five seconds had elapsed. There was fight in Denver. The Pioneers took the kickoff a couple of feet back of the goal line, Braf- ford running it out to the Denver 25. In thirteen plays, with Hazel- hurst and Karamigios doing the heavy work, spelled by Gene Ma- pellia, a most brittle lad, and Braf- ford, they pushed it over for a tally, Hazelhurst making the. score. Hans Brucker kicked goal and the game was tied up. Denver kicked off then. Hankins ran it back to the Oklahoma 25, where Dickie Yates got him. Time should be taken out here to pay tribute to this mighty mite. Pound for pound, and inch for inch, Yates weighed and meas- ured up to any man on the field Saturday afternoon, He was in on as many plays as was any member of either squad, and his tackling, tiny as he is, was as sure, and as hard, as exhibited on the field. On the next play Hankins made 22 yards. Then the Aggies were penalized 15 yards for holding—one of their two penalties. There could be just one more time out here to do a bit of hat tipping to Saturday’s game officials—Den- yer’s Lou Vidal and “Chuck” Bres- nahan, and Bill Hallen of Okla- homa City and George Gardner of Wichita. They kept the game movy- ing every minute. You scarcely knew they owned a whistle between them. This 15-yarder, plus one more for holding, on a point-after-touch- down play, was all the infractions charged against the Aggies. Den- ver only got two, too. One was for “half the distance to the goal line” —a yard and a half in this case, on the same point-after- touchdown play in which Oklahoma offended, and one 5-yarder when half the D. U. line charged too soon. The officiating was as refreshing as the invigorating breeze which blew from the north thruout the contest. On the next play, after the hold- ing penalty, Wayne Flanigan spilled Fenimore for 5, Then Fenimore uncorked a pass that Hankins car- ried to the Denver 37.. a touchdown. Oklahoma kicked, It was no good but Denver was off side. Okla- homa kicked again. It was good but Oklahoma was roughing. That Superbombers Win, 68-0 Odessa, Tex., Oct. 21—The Sec- ond Air Force Superbombers of Colorado Springs, winners of all ‘out one of their starts this season encountered no difficulty at all in Saturday night’s éncounter with the North Texas Agricultural Col- lege eleven and posted a 68-0 vic- tory.

Fenimore tossed a pass to Han- kins from Denver's 32. It was downed on the Denver 7%. One line plunge carried it to the 4. Spavital carried it over and Han- kins kicked good. It was Okla- homa 21, Denver 7 at halftime. Denver got the kickoff and put on the power again. It was the first touchdown all over. Hazel- hurst got the ball on his 14 and ran to Denyer’s 40 where he bumped into Karamigios, his knee hitting the ground. Hight line plays, all by Hazelhurst and “the Galloping Greek,” with the exception of one by Brafford, put. it over. Hazel- hurst got the credit and Hans Brucker again kicked goal. It was now Oklahoma Aggies 21, Denver 14. There was no more scoring in the quarter. The final period was only a min- ute old when Aggies started a land drive. This was 99 per cent Spavi- tal—the 1 per cent Fenimore. The ball was fumbled on the try for point and the score was Oklahoma A & M 27, Denver 14. It would have remained that way if Denver had kicked out of bounds instead of letting Fenimore get his hands on the pigskin—a story told before. . It was a good football game. Denver fans were a unit in saying that in Fenimore they saw a true all-America, Not even Oklahoma will say Denyer was an inferior ball club, The statistics prove that. The first downs were Oklahoma 19, Denver 16. Denver got thirteen of theirs by rushing, Oklahoma got twelve that way. The pass- ing—well that was Fenimore, the difference in the game. Okla- homa got seven of its first downs by passing. The Farmers at- tempted thirteen passes, eight good—Denver eighteen, and only four good. Denver made more yards rushing —253 to 227. Intercepted passes—that’s Feni- more again—netited Oklahoma 122 yards, Denver but 26. Oklahoma got 151 on its own passes—Denver got 74. Leon Diner, a tower on defense all afternoon, outkicked Fenimore. Both clubs handled the ball well. There were but four fumbles—none costly. The lineups and summary: DENVER, Pos. OKLA.
