Army-Penn State Tilts
Also Draw Attention
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (AP). — A
trio of sectional spats monopolize
the national spotlight today with
the unbeaten football teams of
Georgia and Alabama tangling at
Atlanta; all-winning Ohio State the
guest of Wisconsin, which boasts
a similar record; and Army’s tri-
umphant Cadets mixing with
Penn’s once-beaten Quakers at
Philadelphia.
And the way the fans have re-
sponded to those choice morsels
you would think the contests were
being played in pre-Pearl Harbor
days. Penn officials estimated that

Smith attempted to pass for the
extra point but failed.
Denison threatened in the first
few minutes of the game, driving
to the Tiger one-yard line but after
four plunges at the line failed to
gain an inch and the ball went
over.
Smith and Stone stood out for
the home team.
One of the feature attractions
of the program was a between-

band and the Gainesville pep

Gainesville rug-cutters, almost
stole the show.

colored teams we’ve witnessed here
in some time. The visitors had the
beat of statistics, all except the
■coring, although the Tigers de-
serve much credit for their fine
goal line stands, and there were
many of them. On one occasion
the--held the Dragons four downs
on the Gainesville one-yard stripe.
BUT WE HAD MORE fun
watching the jam session that
broke out in the second half. The
Denison boys brought along a
band, one that specialized in hot
music, so we ambled over to the
"Tiger pep squad and enticed a boy
and girl. each about seven or eight
years of age, to come over to our
side of the field and do a little
rug cuttin'. They were so adept
at the art of jitter-buggin' that a
crowd gathered around and almost
forgot about the ball game. They
were tops, and the band was as hot
as a Christmas package of fire
crackers. Fans all agreed the eve-
ning’s program was well worth
the price of admission.
THE PARIS Wildcats bounced
back last night, following last
week's defeat at the hands of
Denison. to smother a Texarkana
eleven by a score of 53 to 7. Natur-
ally, the outstanding performer
was big Bucky Sheffield, who
scored three of the touchdowns
himself, with runs of 35, 44 and 55
yards respectively. It was easy
pickin’s for Coach Berry’s once-de-
feated Cats, whose next game is
with Forest Avenue of Dallas in
Paris on November 11. The Dallas
club is one of the weakest in the
big city and should be a snap for
the Wildcats.
DID YOU NOTICE that High-
land Park, ballyhooed all season as
one of the top clubs in Texas high
school football, had a terrible time
beating out the Denton Brones?
The final score was 26 to 19 in fa-
vor of the Scotties, who almost
took it on the chin before they
managed to halt Zeke Martin’s fine
passing exhibition. Obviously Den-
ton has a much better club than
tney boasted last season. Martin
was out last year with a broken
leg. Now that he is back, he and
’ Cromer both are enough* to make
it interesting for any outfit. The
> Leopards will have a full day’s
* work beatin’ that gang. See if we
aren’t correct
AND SPEAKING of the Scot-
ties, reports are that Rusty Rus-
sell, for years coach of the Little
Rascals from Masonic Home, will
ink a contract to tutor the High-
land Park teams. Each year there
are rumors that Russell will leave
the Masons but he hasn’t so far.
However, this time we’re inclined
, to think he’ll move over to a “silk-
stocking” addition. If the Scotties
do land him they’ll be picking up
the best high school mentor in the
state, by odds, we figure. You could
offer a half-dozen reasons why
he’S tops, but that’s not necessary.
Few fans will even debate the
question.
GRANTLAND RICE is ih At-
lanta today to watch the Georgia-
Alabama game, top tilt of the en-
tire nation on today’s card. Foot-
ball fans don’t have to be told that
Rice is dean of all sports scribes.
He talked over the radio last night,
predictig the outcomes of today’s
big games. He favors Georgia but
by the narrowest of margins. He
also stated that 50,000 fans wanted
seats to the game today but could
not get ’em. The stadium has been
sold out for days now. Incidentally,
he picks Texas, A. and M., and
T. C. U. as winners of their games.
Well, so did we.
