Football Not To Blame For Death Of Wisconsin Boy Chicago, Nov. 14. flJ.R) Nei ther the game of football, its players, Its rules nor its equip ment, can be blamed for the un fortunate death of Allen Shafer, 17-year-old University of Wis consin football player, Ma. John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner, said today as he prepared to leave for Madison, Wis., to attend Shafer's funeral. Commenting on the death of Shafer, who received a fatal In Jury In Saturday's Wisconsin Iowa game, Griffith said that "his age was not a factor In his Injury, but it was an unfortu nate accident which cannot be traced to the participation of 17 and 18-year-olds In collegiate varsity football. "Boys of the same age, 17 and 18, are fighting for our country and the reason we are doing so well on the battlefields Is that these young boys can take it and give it better than the older men," he continued. WAR BOND SALE URGED FOR ARMY-NAVY GAME New York. Nov. 14 (U.PJ Ray McCarthy, director of foot ball at Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds, today advanced a suggestion to make the Army Navy football game a success from' the standpoint of selling war bonds, even though the powers that be in Washington' fail to sanction transfer of the game from the comparative ob scurity of Annapolis, Md., to New York or Philadelphia.

SPOIL RECORD OF MIDWEST LEAGUE By Bam Smith (UP Staff Correspondent) Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 14. (U.PJ Because of the kicking toe of big Jim Kekerls, the veteran Missouri tackle, the winner of the Big Six conference flag chase this season will have no perfect record. v Big Jim stepped up wlthVhe clock ticking off the last 30 sec onds of the Missouri-Oklahoma game at Norman Saturday and spun the football through a gusty high wind and square between the uprights to give his mates a 2141 tie with Oklahoma and thus blot but not damage too seriously the Sooner escutcheon. Four Kickers That brings us to the point of a worthwhile discussion, polnt- after-touchdown kicking. Mis souri with its Jim Kekerls has no one-sided claim to this art in the midlands circuit this year There are four yes, count 'em dead-eye boys who can be count ed upon about 98 per cent of the time to ring the one-point bell. Kekerls and Dub Wooten, -the veteran Oklahoma end, matched toes at Norman and each had a perfect day. The three kicks by Wooten brought his season's total to 19. Kekerls, three made him 16 for the year to date. Iowa Man Tops But the top man cf the quar tet was Meredith Warner, the Iowa State back. 7arnt'r kick ed one in the Nebraska same to make him a 20-point man in that department. Fourth place in the standings was Bill Chestnut, who drop kicks, rather than using the placement approach. Bill has been good for 14 so far, limited more by his team's shortage of touchdowns than an innacurate toe. Twice this year Missouri has called upon Kekerls and his toe after ball luggers scored to tie the top navy-staffed teams of Oklahoma and Iowa State in the midland circflit. Each time Ke kerls bas been good for three-for-three. That, partner, Is kicking under pressure.
