HOUSTON, Nov. 18—(UP)—
Bob Brumlev, fullback, took his
regular turn in practice today
with the Rice squad, apparent-
ly recovered from a knee injury
that kept him inactive nearly
two weeks.
Barron Ellis, tailback who
touched off the drive that got
Rice's lone score against the
Texas Aggies, nursed a bruise
on his shin but expected to play
against Texas Christian univer
siy in Fort Worth Saturday.
Bears Drill On
Passing Defense
WACO. Nov. 18—(UP)—Coach
Frank Kimbrough said today he
hoped he would have his Bay-
lor Bear squad at full strength
for the Southern Methodist
game this weekend, because
"we'll need all the boys to stop
those Mustangs."
Beaten by Tulsa's late game
passes, the Bears drilled on
pass defense yesterday and Kim-
brough indicated more of 1 the
same was ahead in this week's
other practice sessions. He point-
ed out that it was a pass, Gon-
zales to Simpson, that enabled
SMU to defeat Arkansas 14-7.

DALLAS. Nov. 18.—(UP)—
For a change. Coach Matty Bell
had a Southern Methodist foot-
ball squad to work with today
that was not crippled by injur-
ies suffered in the preceding
weekend game.
The injury list still numbered
three, but these men were hurt
two weeks or more ago. The
Mustangs came through the Ar-
kansas game in good shape.
Yesterday was a day of near
rest, with just the lightest of
drills to loosen up muscles, but
starting today Bell said he
would have the squad bear
down in preparation for the
Baylor game here Saturday.

NEW YORK. Nov. 18— (UP)
—Most of the loose ends of the
1941 football year will be wrap-
ped up this week In a handful
of top games which will settle
four conference championships
and can produce Minnesota,
Duke and Notre Dame as the
foremost claimants of that elu-
sive bauble—the mythical na-
tional crown.
There is no standout game; at
least six rate equal notice and
four more will help decide who
will play whom and where when
the whistles blow on the Jan. 1
bowl extravaganzas. Here are
the 10 contests on which nation-
al, sectional and post season
claims hinge:
Notre Dame-Southern Califor-
nia—this is tops from an histori-
cal stand point because it can
provide the Irish with their first
undefeated season since the
Rockne era. Notre Dame has on-
ly a tie to mar its record while
the Trojans have been beaten
four times, but the record shows
favorites here seldom win.

DALLAS, Nov. 18 —(UP) —
High league highlights:
The bane of school hoy foot-
ball is ineligibility through Vio-
lation of the 18year age limit,
and the Masonic Home case is
the latest of a number of in-
stances where a team's string
of victories was thrown out be-
cause of a broken rule.
So perhaps it is timely to give
details today of a plan one dist-
rict has worked out to discov-
er and weed out overage play-
ers before the season's start—
the Dallas' district's "double-
check system."
Dallas coaches, school princi-
pals and the city director of
high school athletics, P. C.
Cobb, got together six years ago
and evolved this system. It was
put into effect in 1935, the
year after Sunset's fine district
record was voided because of
the ineligibility of Gerald Reed,
a star halfback who was too
old.
Since then at the end of
spring practice every year the
coaches of the district's six
schools compile a list of play-
ers who likely will be out for
football th? following fall. Age
data is obtained, usually birth
certificates, and is submitted to
the district executive Commit-
I tee. The committee in turn
I sends the material to Cobb,
| whose secretary begins a dili-
I gent investigation into validity
| of age representatons of each
! boy. When there is a doubtful
i case, the matter is referred
hack to the coaches and princi-
pals and they make a second
investigation, the double check
i into a player's uge.
Birth certificates, census
records and family Bibles
are used to determine if
players in the Dallas dist-
rict are eligible from an age
standpoint to participate in
conference games the fol-
lowing fall.
If any students come out for
i football in the fall who were
20 to 7 over Dallas Fewest for
the first of three, straight slate
championships.
Quickies:
One of the oddest ineligibility
allegations in interseholastc his--
tory was one made in Dallas in
1935 . . . The year after Dallas
Tech asked Sunset to investi-
gate Reed's age status and Sun-
set forfeited league games, Sun-
set protested that Tech was us-
ing a professional wrestler, Bull
Siegel . . . Bull later became
a pro grunt and groan artist,
but there was no proof that lie
took money for wrestling ef
forts during his high school days
and he kept on playing foot-
ball . . .
One of the season's biggest
crowds may watch Sunset and
Woodrow Wilson battle this
weekend for the Dallas title . . .
The game's at Dal Hi field, the
the big concrete "stadium seat
ing 22,457 ... It should beViear-
ly filled ...
Woodrow Wilson Coach Wade
Thompson says the guy labell-
ing Paris' unbeaten and untied
Wildcats the likeliest state tit 1 -
ists hasn't checked Sunset's per-
fect record carefully . . . "Sun-
sets' played tougher teams and
looked better in beating them,"
says Thompson.
And it doesn't seem to take
beef to build winning teams in

Bob Zuppke Quits
Unexpectedly As
Illinois Coach
BV STEVE <S\I|>EH
CP Stuff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Nov. 18—(UP)—
Robert C. Zuppke. a master at
timing upsets, stunned the Uni-
ersit.v of Illinois trustees today
by announcing his resignation
as head football coach with only
one game remaining to complete
his 29th full season.
As the trustees assembled for
what had been scheduled as -i
routine session, the 62-year-old
coach authorized Harold Pogue,
a former Illinois football star,
to submit his resignation to
President Arthur Williard.
Zuppke will direct the Illinois
teams for the last time at North-
western Saturday.
His action came as such a
"surprise in view of the excel-
'■ nt' showing of the Illini against
Ohio State last week that Wil-
liard was uncertain what pro-
cedure could be followed.
It was the second time the
colorful little Dutchman hail re-
signed. In )938 he brought an
anti-Zuppk" faction into the
open by quitting, only to have
the trustees refuse unanimous-
ly to accept his resignation.

ed despite tliis victory,
however, ar.d this spring,
during a shakcup in which

dell S. WiUmi as athletic
director, /up more or less

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, with
Ease for Stomach, too
When constipation brings on acid in-
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, ga s. coated tongue, sour taste and
had breath, your stomach is probably
"crying the blues" because your bowels
don't move. It. calls for Laxative-Seftna
to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels,
combined with Syrup Pepsin for perfect
ease to your stomach in taking. For years,
many Doctors have given pepsin prepa-
rations in their prescriptions to make
medicine more agreeable to a touchy stom-
ach. So be sure your laxative contains
Syrup Pepsin. Insist on Dr. Caldwell's
I axat i ve Senna combined with Syrup Pep-
sin. See how wonderfully the Laxative
Sienna wakes up lazy nerves and muscles
in your intestines to bring welcome relief
from constipation. And the good old
Syrup Pepsin make*, this laxat ive so com-
fortable and easy on your stomach. Even
finicky children love the taste of this
pleasant family laxative. Buy Dr. Cald-
well's Laxative Senna at your druggist
today. Try one laxative combined with
