At least for one night. Manager Adams announced Monday night that because of Duguid's most exceptional play as an against the Red Wings Sunday night he will play him as a Red Wing center in the final game of the city series Tuesday night at Olympia.

Duguid will play center in the line of Pete Kelly and Hec Kilrea, both of whom have been playing excellently in the city series. Gordon Pettinger, the regular center of that line, will wear the black uniform of th O's in the final game. The colorful Duguid, who dominated the ice with Wilired Starr Sunday night, has a swollen ankle but said it would not keep him off Vr the ice Tuesday night.

Walter University of Detroit will have a new football team for the game with Bucknell University here Saturday. Eleven new men will start the battle as the former regulars take their pick of the vacant spot3 on the bench. Coach Charles Dorais announced Monday afternoon. "The team has been getting loggy in the last two games with Villa-nova" was Dorais' explanation of the change. "We need new blood and enthusiasm." There have neen shakcups on the Titan varsity before but this is the first time Dorais ever replaced an entire first team.

"This new team won't be 'the shock troops' or the 'second declared Dorais. "The new team Is THE varsity." The varsity, as planned by Dorais, will consist of John Krkoska and Jim Crowlev at ends, Charley Beer and Joe Cieslak at tackles, Francis Kondraski and John Sha-da, guards; Harold (Bud) Cooper, center; John Ivory, quarterback; Jimmy Piper, left halfback, Roger Hayes, right halfback, and Tony Skover, fullback. Eight of the men are sophomores. Cooper and Skover. who are seniors, and Ivory, a junior, are the exceptions.

Ivory and Skover have not seen much action this year but all of the others have proven themselves under fire. Piper has started several games and broke away for some long gains against Villanova Saturday. Haves looked impressive with some dashing play in the last minutes of the battle at Philadelphia and his left-handed passing may prove of value The linemen, especially Kon-dra-ki and Shada, have shown almost "as much class as the men they are replacing, although neither of the sophomore enas can meas ure up to Right tnd Al fsogiarsny.

L'O minutes to 1 r- ior Wildcat 1 i i A Damn oi'iay win Til or' h-Hp the hoOl By Alan Gould NEW YORK, Nov. of the best methods of starting a brisk argument at this point in the football season is to suggest "first ten" ranking list of college teams, nationally and on the basis of information and belief. It's still too early, of course, to form definite conclusions. Any ranking list now is subject to swift revision on any given Saturday.

It's also difficult at this stage to get a thoroughly accurate comparison of the sectional leaders. But with this preamble of qualification and our fingers crossed, here's a "top ten" to start the debate: 1 Princeton; 2 Notre Dame; 3 Minnesota; 4 Southern Methodist; 5 Texas Christian; 6 California: 7 Ohio State; 8-Rice; 9 North Carolina: 10 Alabama. This covers plenty of territory and most of the outstanding teams, no matter by what yardstick you care to measure their prowess or how you prefer to juggle the list Seven of the 10 have been neither tied nor beaten. Ohio State, Rice and Alabama each have been defeated once but it isn't likely to happen again. This does not mean vou ran 'throw out" the lickings they took but it does mean they belong in the top flight, regardless.

Ask the coaches of the teams that beat them lr you nave any doubt about the Issue. Despite the East's poor showing generally in lntei sectional gridiron warfare this year' there's no doubt ftbout Piineeton'a class. The Tigera started slowly, but they finally seem to have hit their stride and measured up to the potentialities of one of the Nation's finest football squads. Suddenly clicking In the last quarter of the Rutgers gamo, Princeton has rolled up 107 points in the last 135 minutes of competition. The Tigers last Saturday slaughtered a Navy team that gave Yale and Notre Dame terntfic opposition.

Midwest, Southwest Stronjr, The East has three other unbeaten aggregation, Including Dartmouth and Syracuse, but the bal ance of football power this year undoubtedly lies in the Middle West and the Southwest, meaning Texas. No other section of the Country. Including the Pacific Coast, has the combination of stuff to match the Midwest's offering Notre Dame, Minnesota and Ohio State, as well as unbeaten Marquette, or the Texas trio of Southern Methodist, Texas Christian and Rice. Football's followei8-at-lai'ge will hear moroabout these Texans before the season is over. Up to now they have not played an extensive intersectlonal schedule, although Rice Is the only team with a decision over Louisiana State, and an outfit good enough to trample George Washington by 41-0 last Saturday.

Southern Methodist, conqueror of Rice, plays the University of California at Los Angeles on Armistice Day. To get a further idea of things down in the Ione Star State, it may be noted that the University of fexns. good enough to whip Notre Dame last year, is still trying to get out of the Southwest Conference cellar this season, It's difficult to say now just how good are Notre Dame and Minnesota. The conquest of the "Fighting Irish'' over Ohio State, a preseason choice for national cham pionship honors, was more dramatic than convincing. It would be just as well for Notre Dame not to attempt to play that one over.

Taking nothing away from the "Fighting Irish" on that account, this Notre Dame team hardly ranks with the famous "Four Horsemen" or Rockne's last team, in 1930.

On his other three occasions, however, his great work stopped with a thud almost as soon as he changed unitorms, There is a sneaking hunch Jack Adams' mind this year, how ever, that nerhaos Lome has final. arrived. If he has ho will be a world beater. A Star In Minors Duguid is a picturesque character, humorous, intelligent and ex tremely popular with other hockey players.

He knows how to play major leayue hockey in the minor leanues. "All Duguid has to learn is how to play major league hockey when he is with a big league Adams said Monday. "Baseball has had many cases similar to Duguid. Players would star in the minors only to flop in the majors. Then suddenly in a third or fourth try they would find themselves.

"I am hoping that will be tha case with Lome. I've been watching him from the day he reported three weeks ago and he seems to have a different attitude this year. He's cut out a lot of his happy-go-lucky r.ttitude." Others have the same hunch that Adams has. They have been watching Lome closely. He has booked a room in the Fisher Y.

He just didn't do much in the game Sunday night and Adams is trying to get a combination together that will bo ready to win games at the start of the season. "Those games count, too," he said. Others the Red Wings are liable to ind themselves deposed to the O's temporarily unless they perk up before the opening game with the Rangers Sunday.

While the Red Wings have looked bad as a whole in the city series, it is Adams' opinion that (he major league class will eventually prove itself. But if its doesn't he will have no hesitancy in promoting som of the hot O's to their places ln the early games on tho schedule. But for the city scries' final Tuesday night the only change will be the Pcttinger-Duguid switch. Lions Swap Nott for Bill Shepherd Buster Mitchell Let Out by Detroit Acquisition of Rill Shepherd, sneedy halfback, in a trade for Doug Nott and the dropping of Buster Mitchell, an end, were an nounced Monday by George (Potsy) Dark, coach of the Detroit Lions. Nott, the former University of Detroit passing ace, was sent to the Boston Redskins in the denl that brings Shepherd to Detroit.

Shepherd, who led the Country in colletriate scoring when he nlayed for Western Maryland last fall, is a fast and elusive ball carrier. He was the chief ground gainer in the Collpge All-Star-Chicago Bear game last August. He Is five feet 9 inches. weighs 190 pounds and is 24 years old. Nolt had seen little action with the Lions, who have several good passers available in Dutch Clark, Krnie Caddel, Pug Vaughan and Glenn Presnell.

Shepherd is a triple threat man, although lie has been used chiefly on running plays by Boston. Mitchell played three years with the old Portsmouth Spartans before their franchise was transferred to Detroit. Previous to that he was a star wingman with Davis-Elkins College. He injured his knee in the Brooklyn game several weeks ago and has seen little service since.

Coach Ossie Solem called his University of Iowa football players into a long skull session today, forsaking regular practice because of wet weather and injuries to three first string men.

After having ruined the hopes of Temple University at Philadelphia for an undefeated season, State dug in to attempt a victory over the hitherto unbeaten Marquette HUltoppers.

As a tide of congratulatory messages all but flooded Coach Elmer Layden, Notre Dame today counted up the cost of its thrilling football triumph over Ohio State and found it high enough to cause considerable worry over Northwest-em's invasion Saturday. Three of the most valuable players on the team appeared to be definitely lost for the invasion of the Wildcats, who always give the "Fighting Irish" is a stiff battle. Andy Pilney, spearhead of the storybook victory over the "Scarlet Scourge," and Fred Carideo, hard-smashing fullback, were definitely Ohio Officials Spike Reports of Long Count COLUMBUS, Nov. 4 (A. Three athletic officials of Ohio State University set at rest tonight reports circulating among football fans that the last quarter of the Notre Dame contest might have been a bit longer than regulation time.

The Irish made their last two touchdowns Saturday during the last couple of minutes, and the final one only a few seconds before the end, to win 18 to 13. The fans' gossip was at least partly inspired by the fact electric clocks in the stadium showed the time was up more than a minute before the final gun sounded. Today L. W. St.

John. Ohio State's athletic director, and Dr. Walter Duffee. team physician, said they sat on the Ohio State bench, each with a stop watch on the game, and that their watches con-incided with field judge's time. Coach Francis A.

Schmidt agreed. "Notre Dame beat us and that's all there Is to it," Schmidt said. "There is one way, however, to stop such reports, and we may adopt it. We are planning to change the method of timing games. The field judge, the lone official with a stop watch, has enough to do to keep his eye on the plays and player.

without keeping time. The logical thing to do is install an electrical clock, synchronized with a smaller one on the sidelines, and have a representative of each team handle the timing. "Saturday Notre Dame beat us In exactly 60 minutes no more and i no less." iriwir Tiiiw-iiTBwiinfftii'ririifi-iiy CHAMBERLAIN GETS AWAY out. Coach Layden expected that, but today he was informed by the team physician, Dr. J.

E. McMcel, that Dick Pfefferle, the team's only experienced tackle, probably would be missing from the line-up for at least a week. Pfefferle suffered a leg injury in the Ohio State game but it wasn't known until today. Dr. McMecl said he would be forced to remain in the university infirmary for a week.

"Pfefferle's injury, unexpected as it. was, rather floors me," said Coach Layden. "I am wondering how we can get by a great Northwestern team. I'm hoping for the best but I'm worried." Except to say that Notre Dame still had three games left on its schedule against Northwestern, Southern California and the Army Coach Layden refused to discuss reports that the "Fighting Irish" were under consideration for the annual Rose Bowl game. "We won't start thinking about any Rose Bowl game until we've finished the season," he remarked.

"Any of those three teams can 'Bowl' us over." Probably the greatest flood of congratulatory messages Bince the Immortal Knute Rockne returned from hia triumph over Southern California in struck Notre Dame today. Coach Layden received wires from many "synthetic alumni" who have been silent over the bleak years. He read them all with deep satisfaction and with many a smile and then said: "We were very fortunate to win from a great team."
