...Plymouth, Studebaker; other parts for many another U. S. automobile. Last week Bendix could supply none of these customers. Two U. S.

...South Bend, in its last game against a Notre Dame team whose mistakes were all behind it, Northwestern last week made all the mistakes it had saved up through an unbeaten season. Heap, hero against Wisconsin, fumbled twice. Toth, titan against Minnesota, failing to get off a punt, was tackled deep in his own territory.

Most spectacular ball carriers this year have been Steve Toth and Don Heap, It was Toth who made the touchdown that broke Minnesota's string of 21 victories three weeks ago (TIME, Nov. 9). Heap is a junior who, between high school and college, spent three years earning enough money for his tuition and gaining enough weight to be sure of making the varsity football team the first year he tried for it. Last week...
