But up in Madison, Wis., they've decided that they've waited long enough. So now, after 30 years of wishing and mediocrity, Wiscon- sin has come up with a football team which looks good enough to finish the current grid season as the winner of the Western Conference pigskin bunting. Not since 1912 have the Badgers accomplished what every Confer- enee team sets out to do-win the:title. This year, though; they seem to be on their, merry way.. Last Week they dunped-'a favored Ohio State team from the ranks of the unbeaten and from the number one spot in the nation by the tune of 17-7. This :tkiumph shot the Badger boys into second place in the nation's standings and gave them undis- puted possession of first place in the Conference. Up there, or out there, in Wisconsin they have two powerful backs and a phenomenal end to lead them on to one victory after another. Pat Harder, the booming 'fullback, and sensational Elroy Hirsch, a great soph- omore halfback, are the two backs. Dave Schreiner, an All-American last year, is the end. These three gentlemen are guaranteed to get in the hair of any football team, be it good or not. They're fast, they're powerful and they're smart. And they evidently love to play football. The result- Coach Harry Stuhldreher's ball club is running wild. The Badgers have only *:tie with Notre Dame to mar their cam- paign record, and at that, they outpbayed the Irish. The score was 7-7, and if you remember, the population of South Bend thought itself mighty luiky to get away .with that after the tilt was over. And don't forget, the majority of the time:this sesason Wisdonsin.has been with- out the service of Harder. Only In the .past few Weeks has he been available for full time duty because of a severe leg injury suffered in pre-season practice. ... Still, all is not clear sailing for the Badgers. They have three more Conference games remaining on ther scheciule--one with Iowa this week and one apiece later on with Minnesota and Northwestern. And as we have remarked at least ten times in this space, anything can happen in football and usually does: AT PRESENT, Michigan has a chance to win the oaveted champion- shil.

Friday the 13th may be an un- lucky day for some, but on that day the age old freshman dream of out- side competition will become a reality when Wally Weber's Frosh football team tangles with the Michigan State yearlings at Ferry Field. The last time that a Michigan freshman football team met outside competition was way back in 1917. From that time until just recently' Big Ten schools have not been able to engage in freshman games with one another. The rules committee of the conference has lifted the ban in view of the present uncertain status of the students. This game with Michigan State will be one of two contests that the fresh- man team will have. The other one also makes a specialty of kicking extra points. Defensively Walterhouse is equally efficient, excelling especially on pass defense. Some of the men likely to see action in the line include ends Art Renner and Lehman Beardsley; tackles Jack Emerick and Bill Pratt; center Frank Kern from Detroit, who incidentally looks very good, and guards George Kraeger, Hank Mantho and Kurt Kampe. In the backfield others who will .probably see action include Irv Derda and Hugh Mack at the quarterback spot; Bill Culligan and Bob Nuss- baumer at the halves, and Kenny Sands along with Ralph Chubb play- ing fullback. The fellows listed above will prob- ably see action, but the game is ten days away and anything can happen. Gordon Is Most Valuable in A. L. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.- (A')- Joe Gordon, the flashy second baseman of the New York Yankees, was named the most valuable player in the Amer- ican League today as Ted Williams, the slugging star of the Boston Red Sox, was edged out of the honor for the second straight year. A committee of 24 members of the Baseball Writers Association, whose balloting was done before the world series but not announced until now, showed an- irreconcilable difference of opinion over the merits of the season's outstanding performers in the junior circuit. The result was Gordon fin- ished ahead of Williams 270 points to 249 in a close ballot. Every member of the committee ranked both Gordon and Williams somewhere among their top ten choi- ces, but Gordon rated 12 first place votes to nine for Williams. From all appearances, Coach Fritz Crisler will have to do without the services of fullback Don Boor in Sat- urday's game against the Crimson team from Cambridge. Dr. Coxon, team physician says that Don's ankle is the worst injury on the squad, and is still swollen to such a degree that he will undoubtedly not be fit for action. On the other hand following the Tuesday practice Dr. Coxon's reports on Tom Kuzma and Don Robinson's injuries was very encouraging. Kuzma has a very slight sprain and should be able to play Saturday if he is needed. Likewise Don Robinson who has been bothered with a strained shoulder, should be in good enough condition to permit him to enter the contest. It is very probable, however, that these two men, although able to play, will not do so, partly because Satur- day's tilt is not expected to be a game which will require all of the Michigan power, and partly because, given an- other week's comparative rest, they will be in top condition for the Irish encounter. Crisler devoted yesterday's prac- tice session to familiarizing his squad with Harvard's offense and smoothing over its own attack.

Dick Walterhouse seems to be the most promising freshman prospect since Tom Harmon, already having established himself as a triple-threat back. If his high school reputation .s any indication of his ability then Michigan fans may look forward to another Harmon era. Playing three years of high school football for Ann Arbor High, which turned .out All-American Bob West- fall, Walterhouse, shifty but power- ful, led the fast moving 5-A football league in scoring all three years. Last year he set a state record of 120 points for the season besides passing his undefeated team to many others. To add to his many accomplishments he :. ..w iteinstead Nere'p$i Ii By BOB SHOPOFF Throughout the country freshman gridders are blazing names for them- selves in the 1942 football season. On the Harvard team roster are four froshethat have added plenty of fire to the Crimson attack. During the past summer many col- leges in the United States found that the draft had taken heavy tolls upon their football teams. These schools were faced with the problem of sup- plying enough manpower to place a winning eleven on the 'field each week-end. Made Freshmen Eligible .To'cope with this sit uation,x man of ;the -Eatern colleges Votedo make freshmen eligible for varsity.. Harvard was among this group, and from all indications they should be mighty happy that they. made' the move. .Ranked as outstanding on the.Har- vard squad are freshmen Jack Come- ford, triple threat' halfback; Leo Flynn, a back, and ends Wally Flynn and George Boston. Among the stars of the class of '46, Comneford stands high. Most of the Crimson offensive attack has been built around him this season. He has proved that he can run as. he broke through the opposition for several large gains. He' is especially hot on open field running. Although only a frosh, the new Harvard star has shown he can de liver under fire. Last Saturday with 30 seconds to play in the Princeton battle, he dropped back to his own 25-yard line and heaved a 50 yard looping pass directly into the arms of Gordon Lyle, who raced the rest of the distance to the goal. That play beat the Tigers, 19 to 14. Flynn Adds Punch Leo Flynn, another of Coach Dick Harlow's new threats, has added punch to the Harvard drive by his varied display of running. He has both speed and power which makes him a definite asset. At the flank positions, George Bos- ton and Wally Flynn have won sec- ond team spots. Flynn, who is no re- Georgia Tops Football Poll Badgers Are Second; Michigan Up to ^1th NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-RP)-Geor- gia's unbeaten and untied Bulldogs have advanced to recognition as the nation's outstanding college football force and there doesn't seem to be much their rivals for the honor can do about it in the near future. Georgia's feat in toppling Ala- bama's powerhouse last Saturday brought the Bulldogs to the top of the Associated Press' weekly poll of sports writers today with 84 5/6 first- place votes out of a total of 127 bal- lots cast. Wisconsin vaulted into second place in the ranking by upsetting Ohio State, which had been rated the No. 1 eleven in the country for the first three weeks of the poll. There also was a reshuffling of the other grid- iron greats from top to bottom. Bulldogs Will Meet Tech But out of the overhauling came an appearance of security for Geor- gia because the Bulldogs' schedule in the next three weeks calls for com- paratively mild opposition from Flor- ida, Chattanooga and Auburn before their traditional season's finale with Georgia Tech, also unbeaten and ranked third in this week's poll. On the strength of its decisive 28-14 win over Illinois, Michigan jumped up two notches to eleventh spot, replacing the Illini and Army. lation to Leo, has been handling most of the punting duties of the team. He has turned in a remarkable record for a first-year man having averaged over 40 yards per boot in every game and hitting as high as 49 yards in two games. Boston has been at his best on defense so far this season and has added to the short-stocked supply of reserve strength. Nobody can overlook the fact that Coach Harlow and his squad will have a different problem to worry about this week-end. The Crimson haven't been matched with any team that rates nearly as strong as Michigan. Maybe the frosh stars ,won't attain their usual standard, but they have. a 'fighting spirit that is found only in yearlings and the Wolverine must certainly take this into account. a N INFINITE RICHES IN A LITLE ROOM The accessories to retail - Shirt, $3.00 - Tie, $1.00 Black silk hose, 45c and 65c - Studs and Links, 75c set - Collar, 35c - Suspenders, $1.00.
