1,585 in 5. On the offense, the Buckeyes are beautiful to behold. Led by Fullback Gene ("Big Bertha") Fekete, one of the 24 sophomores on the squad, the Buck ball-carriers in five games have gained 1,585 yards from scrimmage—a record no other Big Ten team can match. Big Bertha alone has scored 60 of the team's 165 points. Defensively, Paul Brown's greenhorns are no slouches either. Last fortnight, in limiting Purdue to only one first down and only 14 yards by rushing, the Buckeyes turned in a historic performance.
This week Ohio State will tackle Wisconsin, the Big Ten's other undefeated team. The Buckeyes are pointing for the Badgers, who boast three hard-hitting H-boys—Elroy Hirsch, Pat Harder and Mark Hoskins. Reason: Badger Coach Harry Stuhldreher, an old Massillon quarterback before he became one of Notre Dame's immortal Four Horsemen, was Brown's boyhood idol.
If Ohio State can get by Wisconsin—then Pittsburgh, Illinois, Michigan (its traditional rival) and the Iowa Pre-Flight Cadets—Paul Brown's Buckeyes may well deserve the mythical U.S. championship as well as that of the Big Ten.
