Power as College Teams Battle on Gridiron New York, Oct. 8.
Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Columbia—these are the Big Three on the national Intercollegiate gridiron stage as the third week of the 1938 season rolls into history.
Coach Bernie Bierman's Golden Gophers, 1937 champions of the Big Ten and the outstanding contender for the national championship in every season but one of the last seven years, pounded out a 7-0 decision over ihe Purdue Boilermakers today to rye notice on the Big Ten in particular and the world in general that ihe Minneapolis boys must be figured in the dope books as another "sweet" eleven.
In the Far East, Captain Marshall Goldberg, all-American halfback last year and touted for even greater honours this year, led his Pittsburgh Panthers to a 27-0 victory over tiny but mighty Duquesne.
The Duquesne Colonels have always been a thorn in Coach Jock Sutherland's tough hide, and two years ago spoiled Pittsburgh's dream of an undefeated season by eking out a 2-0 victory over their rivals from across the river. Pittsburgh later went on to the Rose Bow! championship classic, where it defeated Washington, but Goldberg and his Panthers have not forgotten the sting of that one defeat.
