But he compares it to the emer- gency brake on an automobile. Maybe we only use it once in years, but it is still there for safety mea- sures. The way things now stand with the fair catch rule not on the books, many grid teams are placing their kicker 12 to 15 yards behind the line of scrim- mage. From this distant point, there is little necessity of providing tight blocking for him. Consequently, every member of the kicking team, excepting the punter, is free to go downfield to make the tackle on the receiver.

' The Volunteers, who often have been in bowl games, but never be- fore in the Dallas classic, were ex- tended the invitation and quickly accepted. TENNESSEE, coached by Bob Neyland, a former Texas A. and M. football player, has won eight of nine games this season and has two to play-against Kentucky Nov. 25 and Vanderbilt Dec. 2. The lone loss was 7-0 to Missis- sippi State early in the season. The Tennessee record shows a 56-0 victory o v e r Mississippi Southern, 28-7 over Duke, 41-0 over Chattanooga, 14-9 over Ala- bama, 27-0 over Washington and Lee, 16-0 over North Carolina, 48- 14 over Tennessee Tech, and 35-0 over Mississippi. Texas is champion of the Soih- west Conference. Read Daily Classifieds Quaker GuardI Named Week's Top Lineman NEW YORK-Q)-For his out- standing role in crushing Wiscon- sin's attack on Saturday at Phila- delphia, Bernie Lemonick, 200- pound defensive left guard of the Penn Quakers, has been chosen as the Associated Press' lineman of the week. In nominating Tony Momsen as the week's top "lineman," Hal Middlesworth of the Detroit Free Press brought up a fine point. Momsen is a line-backer. Sooner or later somebody will have to decide whether these modern workhorses are backs or linemen. Anyhow, Middlesworth says: "Momsen, who blocked the Northwestern punt which m'arked the turning point of Michigan's 34 to 23 victory, has had a great, un- der-publicised season." If the statistics released last night for the Western Conference football season mean anything, Saturday's Michigan-Ohio State contest is anybody's ball game. Except for the point-scoring de- partment, where the Buckeyes have a formidable edge, the two teams are as near even as modern football allows a couple of tradi- tional rivals to be. * * * MICHIGAN ranks second in the conference in defense (Illinois is tops in that department) with a yardage gained average of 229.8 for its five opponents in the con- ference race so far. Ohio State is third with a 235.5 defensive aver- age., On offense, the Buckeyes have rolled to the best average total yardage in the conference, with the help of the Minnesota and Iowa catastrophes. They've aver- aged 355.2 yards on the ground and by the aerial route. The Wolverines have averaged 228.3 yards per game, with that total lessened by the ice-skating exhibition against Illinois. Thus, they rank third in that division. On paper, at least, Michigan seems to come up to the Buckeye game with enough power and tena- city to give the massive line of the men from Columbus a good run for their money. They'll also come up againstone of the few real triple-threat men left in Big Ten football in this age of specialization. He's Vic Jan-' owicz, whose gridiron abilities have been haled as the most complete in the country. * * * JANOWICZ leads the Western scoring and ranks fourth in pass- ing and punting. He has thrown seven touchdown passes for an- other leading mark. So Michigan's Bennie Ooster- baan, whose on-and-off football team has been improving on of- fense through the latter part of the season, has been working his charges on the Janowicz plays the Wolverines will see heading their way this weekend. As if he didn't do enough else, the Buckeye whiz has kicked 21: points after touchdown. In yesterday's drill the Wolver- ine coaching staff stressed defense and sharpened the Wolverine pass- BIG TEN TEAM STATISTICS OSU Mich. ILL.
