IM Contests Monday Are Hard Fought, Low Scoring
Low scores and forfeits characterized yesterday's intramural football games. The Y.M.C.A. defeated the Airscrews 13-6, Don Henry co-op defeated Phi Kappa Tau 7-6; Dine-A-Mite edged out the Gushers 8-0. The only high scoring game came when the Law school rolled over Navy 28-0.
Both teams failed to make an ap-pearance in the I.S.A. No. 1 vs. Aces Hi game. Spooner-Thayer received a bye when I.S.A. No. 2 dropped out of the league.
The Y.M.C.A. vs. Airscrews game was notable for defensive play. The Y.M.C.A. opened the scoring in the first quarter when lineman Dwight Oldsbay blocked a punt, and raced 20 yards to score. A sweep around left end added the extra point.
A touchdown toss to Sherman tallied six more points for the Y.M. C.A.'s in the third quarter.
Dine-A-Mite's Jack Crahan, half-back, passed 50 yards to Reber for the first score. The Gusher's Van Gundy was trapped behind the goalline in the second quarter for the other two points.
The Dine-A-Mite vs. Gushers game was characterized by many penalties, mostly on the Gushers. A Dine-A-Mite backfield man, Bob Johnson, was kicked out of the game in the fourth quarter for objecting too violently to the umpire's ruling.
The Airscrews muffed their chances to score. Two times in the second quarter they had first down on the Y.M.C.A. one-half yard line and one-yard line, but both drives were completely stopped by the opposing line. The Airscrews scored in the fourth quarter when Wetz passed to Horton, who ran the ball 40 yards to pavd dirt.
The Law school scored 26 points in the first half and a safety in the third quarter to defeat Navy. Outstanding player for the Law school was end Bernie Noraling, who caught most of the passes, and ran one intercepted pass back for a touchdown.
A 20-yard pass in the overtime enabled the Don Henry co-op to beat Phi Kappa Tau. The game was tied at six all until the last 20 seconds of the regular game. The Don Henry's ran the game into an overtime when Stirling passed to Pleasant.
When Horace Greeley said "Go west young man." he wasn't thinking of professional football but that's just where the balance of power was today in both the National league and the All-America conference.
Pro Football Power In West
By United Press
The best record of all was held by the A.A.C.'s potent San Francisco, winner of seven straight and the champion Cleveland Browns with five in a row, good enough to lead the A.A.C.'s western division. Baltimore, with a 3-3 record was the front runner in the eastern division.
In the National league the mighty Chicago Bears were back in their form of yesteryear with three straight triumphs and the lead in the western division. The Washington Redskins and the Pittsburgh Steelers were tied for the top in the eastern bracket with 2-1 records.
With seven games the past Sunday, three in the A.A.C. and four in the National league, Frankie Albert and the Forty-Niners stood out. Albert passed for three touchdowns and paced the team to three others as the upstart Baltimore Colts were snowed down, 56 to 14.
Cleveland needed a last quarter surge to topple the down-and-out Brooklyn Dodgers, 30 to 17, for the sixth Dodger loss in a row .
The once powerful New York Yankees staved off their fifth straight defeat with a 14 to 13 verdict over the Buffalo Bills.
The Chicago Bears unleashed veteran Sid Luckman and rookie Johnny Lujack and that was enough to topple the Los Angeles Rams, 42 to 21.

Faurot Is UP Coach Of Week
New York, Oct. 12—(UP)—No-body knows what the man totes in his ever-present brief-case, but everyone in football knows what the man carries in his head: The slickest set of T-formation plays in the game.
Don Faurot uncorked those plays against Southern Methodist, unbeaten in 15 games, the Southwest Conference champion, and the shocking result was: Missouri 20, Southern Methodist 14.
Faurot went into that game with confidence. To newsmen he said: "We can beat SMU—maybe. To his team he was more conservative: 'We're meeting one of the best teams in the nation and if we don't play football we'll get the tar beat out of us.'"
That's the story and the glory of Don Faurot, the United Press Coach of the Week.
A lot of thanks goes to Faurot's wizardry with the T. Wherever football coaches gather, they discuss his system, which is fast-breaking and downright explosive at times.
It's the man *rs* as well as the coach who is loved at Columbia. This gangling just-jawed 46-year-old has been head coach at his Alma Mater since 1935 except for three years as Iowa Seahawk skinner in the Navy
Faurot is one of four brothers who starred in sports at Missouri. He was coach at Kirksville, Mo., State College where he won 28 straight games and seven conference championships before going to Missouri.
Now, it seems, Don Faurot is at Mizzou to stay. He was offered the Navy job last winter but turned it down to stay at Columbia.
Faurot teaches football at Missouri and doesn't worry about anything else. He doesn't go for high-pressure dramatic stuff in the locker room.
