Sooners Rout Wildcat Foe
DeCorrevont A Sensation; Score Is 23-0
- Seymour and Martin Pace Big Six Champions to Victory Over Northwestern; Line a Factor
Dyche Stadium, Evanston, III., Dec. 7 — (UP) The rugged red-painted men of Oklahoma bottled up Northwestern's high-advertised backfield power today and flashed an offensive of their own with a 23 to 0 victory in the Big Six Championship invasion of the Big Ten.
Bill De Correvont, bearing the biggest bailyhoo on his broad shoulders a sophomore back ever had, lived up to his advance billing with a sensational exhibition of broken field running. But the scoring summary named only compulsory numbers named Bick Seymour and a couple of halfbacks named Dick Favor and John Martin.
It was Seymour who bucked over the Northwestern line from the one-yard stripe in the first and third periods; it was Martin who intercepted a Northwestern forward pass on his 46 yard line in the closing minutes of the game and ran untouched 54 yards for Oklahoma's third touchdown; it was Favor who booted a field goal from the 24-yard mark in the opening period.
But the backs aren't the story of today's game—except for a third period in which De Corventre off a 36-yard runback of a kickoff and a couple of amazing runs virtually without interference. The story of Oklahoma's superiority evident in all but a few moments of the game, is the story of a hard-charging line that ripped its opposition to shreds on defense and won down like an army tank on offense.
Nebraska 6-Minnesota 0
Lincoln, Oct. 7—Nebraska's Scarlet Cornhuskers blanked the vaunted Minnesota Gophers of the Big Ten. 6 to 0, here this afternoon in one of the season's most stunning football upsets.
Rated with Oklahoma as co-favors to win the Big Six title. Coach Biff Jones' mighty Huskers pressed down the stop sign on a 10-foot pitch. A week ago rolled up £2 only points against hapless Arizona.
The nebraskans took their leac early, then were content to set their feet firmly on the turf and turn back increasingly desperate offensive thrusts of the Golden Gophers under Nebraska unified the lanes of its conference with unexpected success.
Columbus, O., Oct. 7—(UP) -A high-spirited Ohio State football team struck twice through the air and once through the line today to open its season with a 19 to 0 victory. Missouri before a crowd of 38,165.
Ohio State 19-Missouri 0
Ohio State displayed unexpected power in the inaugural of Francis Schmidt's sixth season as Ohio State coach. Ohio State took the opening kickoff and marched 71 yards without interruption for its first touchdown. Don Scott, junior quarterback from Canton, Ohio, sailed a 13-yard pass to Frank Clair end, for the Scott converted the extra point.
After a poor first half during which they penetrated past midfield only once, Missouri fought back in the third quarter and held the
Texas U. 17-Wisconsin 7
An 18-yard pass from John Simione, reserve quarterback, to Charley Anderson, sophomore end from Assillon, was good for the second touchdown early in the last period and Scott added the final score with a 34-yard jaunt with only a few minutes to play.
Madison, Wis. Oct. 7- (UP)—The University of Texas Longhorns stamped on Camp Randall field today and trampled the University of Wisconsin team into a 17 to 7 defeat before 25,000 spectators.
Coach Dana Bible's mixture of stable veterans and flashy sophomores played Wisconsin to a standout performance, staged in shirtsleeve temperature.

The band played low-pitched and emplied whole sections not having a soul in them. ... The only place that was crowded was the press box. ... Mike Getto walked up in the stands and sat down. ... This was probably the first time Mike ever watched the Jayhawkers play from up in the stadium. ... The Cyclones used a shift that was pulling some of the Jayhawker lined off. ... Blue was the color of the day, at least half of the student body had something blue on. ... Every time American carried the hull he set the Cyclone over the rails as they tempted to tackle him. ... On the first play of the second quarter Amerine took the hall around his own left end. ... He was tackled and forced out of bounds. ... One of the Iowa State players tackled "Dashing Dick" around the neck and Amerine came up fighting. ... One of the officials immediately grabbed the Jayhawkers halfback and sent him to the sidelines for slugging. ... Kansas suffered a 25-yard penalty. ... Coach Henry kept sending substitutes in near the close of the season to the sidelines out. ... This was done to force the Cyclones to kick into the wind. ... Speakers were entertained at the half by two high school bands from Cameron, Mo., and Council Grove. ... The University cheering section put on an excellent card display. ... Spelling out Iowa State, then "AWelcome Coaches Hurt, Lansing, and Handman Henry" ... a Jayhawker in flight was also a part of the display. ...

Cincinnati, Oct. 7—(UP) —New York Yankees siege guns boomed away today and the relentless American League champions, with an amazing demonstration of high powered basebittout, economy outclassed the Cincinnati Reds, 7-3, for their third straight world series triumph.
Yankees Win Third Game
With a highly-partisan home town crowd of 32,723 sitting in the stands in almost complete silence after the first few innings the Bronx Bombers shelled Gene Thompson, Cincinnati pitcher ever to start a world series game, from the mound with a murderedhome run barrage.
By Henry McLemore
United Press Staff Correspondent Cincinnati, Oct. 7—(UP)—From the sally league to baseball immortality is a great leap to make in the space of a year but Eugene (Junior) is making it in the third game of the world series between the Reds and Yankees today.
During his time on the mound for the Reds, Thompson, who was a Class B ball player in the tall celery last year, was beaten for four home runs by the Yankees. Had he served up just one more home run pitch he would have beaten, and not just equalled, Charlie Root's mark in the
world series between the Cubs and the Yankees in 1932.
It was a bit of bad luck for Thompson that he was removed from the box by Manager Bill McKeechin in the fifth inning, because his home run ball was getting better and better and there was the very good chance that he might have established a mark that would have stood for all time had he been allowed to go a few more innings.
It became evident in the very first innning that Thompson's "over the fence" ball was working beautifully; that he had it under perfect control. In pitching to Charlie Keller in this innning he riffed one down the groove that the Yank couldn't have missed with a lead pencil. Charlie caught it squarely to make the fur fly off the coallor of a woman spectator in the fifteenth row of the right field bleachers.
It didn't seem possible that Thompson could improve on the home run ball he throw Keller, but in the third inning he threw an even better one to Di Maggia. Keller's only had whipped cream on it; the one to Di magg not only had whipped cream, but a berry cherry right on top of it, and just where that ball stopped buoming is not known. It cleared the center field fence just over the 283-foot sland. smiled in the middle
of the street, took a fifty foot bounce and, without waiting for a green light, turned the corner and disappeared. The chances are that it will be picked up six months from now off the coast of Portugal.

The University two-mile team opened their 1939 season by defeating Iowa State College 21-14 here yesterday morning.
