Put On Big Drive In Closing Half After Trailing, 12-0, At Rest Time However, the government, deter Snyder, and Everett Welch had erased Xavier's dozen points and roaring aggregation with a never-say-die spirit that enabled them to whip Illinois a week ago. With Russ Nickel, Whitey Walsh, and Nick Weiler slashing through the Bobcat defense with the great-east of ease in the first half, the Musketeers had little or no trouble scoring twice.

It was Don Carroll's Inability to kick the points after touchdowns that eventually cost Xavier the game, but no one seemed to mind a bit as Carroll's placement boots went wide of the uprights. It seemed Xavier never would need the two points. In the second half this same trio and players who replaced them couldn't untrack themselves. Even the Musketeer line went to pieces. Ohio, quick to take advantage of the situation; began to accomplish things.

Johnny Montgomery filled the air with passes and Big Len Janiak started to tear apart the Xavier forward wall. Inside of 20 minutes the pair, aided by some expert pass snagging on the part of Paul Wilcox, Jim Prague, September 30 (AP) The Czechoslovak government, after bowing under protest to the Munich partition accord, received a new Polish note tonight calling for immediate response to Poland's territorial demands. Poland has asked the Czechoslovak government to evacuate all Czechoslovak territory inhabited by Poles. (In Warsaw, the Polish government was understood to have set noon tomorrow (6 A. M.

EST) as a deadline for answering its demands. Polish authorities have not disclosed just what the demands were but the region generally mentioned is Teschen Silesia, an area of 772 square miles where most of the Polish minority of approximately 81,000 resides.) Extra police and soldiers were drafted to curb demonstrations against the Munich accord after General Jan Syrovy, fifty-year-old soldier premier, announced the government's decision to surrender Sudetenland to Germany in face of "a superior force which has compelled us to accept." "We are ready to give our blood don't give in" and "we want the whole republic we want to fight," the demonstrators shouted. Police used peaceful persuasion to quiet them. There were no clashes.

Xavier University looked like a derby candidate in the first half and a selling plater headed for the glue factory in the second half as they dropped a 14-to-12 decision to Ohio University before 9,000 slightly puzzled fans last night at Xavier Stadium. During the first half the Mus keteer backs operating behind the finest blocking seen locally in several years, scored once in each period. Meanwhile the Bobcats, with the exception of one mild drive, were not putting together first downs with enough regularity to score in two week ends. Everything pointed to a certain Xavier victory as the teams left the field at the half. But after the intermission the Musketeers showed a complete form reversal.

Coach Don Peden's Bob cats came back onto the field with fire in their eyes and speed in their legs. They showed the crowd in no un certain terms that they are a rip- "BAD TASTE," War Chief Says In --Answering- Attack Of Retired General. Criticism Of Policies Of New Deal By Moseley Termed "Flagrantly Disloyal." Washington, September 30 (AP) Harry H. Woodring, Secretary of War, termed "flagrantly disloyal" today a statement issued by Major General George Van Horn Moseley upon Moseley's retirement from the army. Retiring on reaching the statu tory age of 64, Moseley, one of the army's outstanding commanders, criticized administration relief and other policies in his statement, issued at Atlanta, Ga.

Moseley was Commanding Gen eral of the Fourth Corps area and the Third Army, with headquarters in the Georgia city. Woodring, in a formal statement, said: "Because he was disappointed in his ambition to become Chief of Staff of the American Armies, Major General George Van Horn Moseley has celebrated his retire ment from military service by as sailing the Federal Government and, by inference, attacking his Commander In Chief. (President Roosevelt is Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy.) "As to the reasons that General Craig (General Malin-Crag, Army Chief of Staff) was preferred for the important post, I do not think any one needs to look farther than to read General Moseley's flagrantly disloyal statement. "Obviously the General is entitled to his own views on governmental and other policies, but I have an Continued On Page 3. Column 3.

But Pie's Club Still Has Outside Chance. Buccos Easy For Derringer -If Qpener Bauers Keeps Mates In Flag Chase. BY LOU SMITH. i Deacon Bill McKechnie's Beds split a twin bill with the Pirate at Crosley Field yesterday to push the Smoketowners down in the pennant race, as 8,361 persons looked on. While our heroes were holding the Buccos to a stand-off, the Cubs were battling to a seven-all tie with the St.

Looey Cardinals that was called at the end of nine rounds on account of darkness to move within two wins of the right to cross war clubs with the world champion Yankees. There still is a chance, however, Of Manager Pie Traynor's Buccos getting into the October classic. But it's a 500-to-l shot at the best. BUCS HAVE CHANCE. In order to finish on ''top the Pirates will have to, win both of their remaining games from the Reds while Cubs are dropping two out of their remaining three with thelCards.

Brilliant pitching, plus a bit of long-range clouting, featured the twin bill that was reeled off in the near record-breaking time of two hours and 68 minutes. All but dropped out of the race as Paul Derringer licked them, 7 to 1, with a five-hit job in the opener, for his twenty-first win of the season, the Buccos came thundering back to retain their flickering hopes for a share of the World Series swag by grabbing the nightcap, 4 to 2, behind the four-hit pitching of Russ Bauers, giant comic reading lumberjack from the woods of Wisconsin. DERRINGER IS GOOD. There was little to the opener but the Reds. While Derringer was making the Buccos resemble a band of.

cream puff hitters, his mates were pounding a trio of Smoketown chuckers Jim To-bin, Bill Swift and Mace Brown for 12 crashing blows, including mighty homers by Wally Berger and Ernie who increased his lead over Johnny Mize for the National League batting champion- ship with two safeties in seven official swings. But it was a different story in the nightcap. With Bauers chuck ing four-hit ball, and setting the Reds down in order in seven of the nine rounds, along with exploding a double and a triple, he provided the oxygen for what appeared a hopeless cause. HOMER FOR VAIGHAN. In the meantime, the Buccos clouted Whitey Moore and Gene Schott for seven safeties, including Arky Vaughan's homer into the rightfield bleachers.

Manager Pie Traynor refused to throw in the towel despite the split down but not out. That tie the Cubs played with the Cards may start them on the dawn grade.

On Triumphal Return Of Prime Minister. Chamberlain Waves Signed Accord With Hitler For Permanent "Peace." London, September 30 (AP) Prime Minister Chamberlain today brought back from Munich what he called "peace with honor peace for our time." To cheering crowds and an ap proving monarch he reported two accomplishments: A triumph of his appeasement policy in the four- power Munich conference which averted war over Czechoslovakia and an Anglo-German declaration against war. Summed up, his words in two speeches At Heston Airdrome upon his return and later from a window of No. 10 Downing Street and in an extraordinary interview earlier at Munich, bore fresh hope of a permanent European settle ment At Munich: "I have always had in mind that if we could find peace on the Czechoslovak question, a way might be open to appeasement in Europe." PACT ONLY PRELUDE. At Heston Airdrome: "Settlement of the Czech problem is in my view anly a prelude to a larger settlement in which all Eu-rope may find peace." At No.

10 Downing Street: "This is the second time in our history that there has come back from Ger many to Downing Street peace with honor (a reference to Disraeli's famous statement of 1878). I be lieve it is peace for our time." With his gray head uncovered in the late afternoon rain, the sixty- nine-year-old Prime Minister waved, for cheering thousands at Heston Airdrome to see, the document which he and Reichsfuehrer Hitler had signed earlier in the day at Munich. It was an agreement in which the two statesmen accepted the new four-power Munich accord for set tlement of the Czechoslovak-German crisis and the Anglo-German naval treaty of 1936 as "symbolic of the desires of our two people never to go to war with one another again." GRATEFUL FOR LETTERS. Then Chamberlain stepped to a microphone and slowly, fervently said he believed the Munich confer ence "is only the prelude to a larger settlement." He thanked the people for "an immense number of letters during all these anxious times" then mentioned briefly the Anglo-German accord. "This morning I had another talk with German Chancellor Herr Hitler and here is the paper which bears his name as well as mine.

Some of you, perhaps, already have heard what it contains, but I would just like to read it to you." He read from the document and then sped away by automobile to Buckingham Palace. The Anglo-German declaration was signed in a two-hour earnest talk between the seemingly tireless Chamberlain and the Nazi Continued On rage 2, Column 3. FAMED GUARDS Of Britain May Be Sent To Aid In Police Duties In Czech Plebiscite Areas. London, September 30 (AP) It was learned reliably tonight that six battalions of British troops would be sent to Czechoslovakia soon to assist in police duties carry ing out the partition decreed by the four-power Munich agreement. It was considered likely they would sail in the next few days.

The detachment probably will consist of four battalions of Brit ain's famed Guards Regiment and two battalions from regiments of the line, totaling approximately 5,000 men.

'The Munich agreement was published here for the first time tonight. The nation was reported to have received it calmly as a whole.

Radio programs were canceled as a signal of national mourning. Only an occasional news bulletin or appeal for order went on the air. General Syrovy, in a broadcast earlier in the day telling of the government's capitulation to the accord, declared "The Czechoslovak Government in making this decision sends at the same time to the world its protest against this agreement, which was made in a unilateral manner and without its participation," said the veteran campaigner, who lost an eye in the World War. "We have been abandoned. We are all alone.

Our neighbors are under arms. Our position is like that of a fortress besieged by crushing forces. "My duty was to consider everything. As a soldier I had to choose the way to peace."

The King was waiting on the station platform when the train arrived and shook hands with the chief of the government. There were broad smiles on the faces of both. Two hours before II Duce's arrival in Rome, uniformed Fascists, military bands and crowds of civilians poured through the streets, jamming the area about the railroad station, the route to the Piazza Venezia and the Piazza itself. The German swastika flew beside -the flags of Italy and of the Fascist party in the decorated streets. United States Ambassador William Phillips, British Ambassador Lord Perth, German Ambassador Hans-Georg Viktor Von Mackensen, and French Charge D'Affaires Jules Blondel were among the diplomats who greeted Mussolini at the station.

The turn out of diplomats itself was described by long-time foreign residents as a remarkable tribute. Mussolini reflected the spirit of Continued On Page 2, Column 5.

Officials said the recall would take place progressively "at a rate foreseen for the security of the national defense." More than 1,000,000 reserves had been summoned to the colors. Despite murmurs of discontent in left wing circles over dismember ment of Czechoslovakia, which once was the mainstay of France's Central European alliances, the government was expected to win a vote of confidence. The great surge of joy which swept the country after the four-power Munich accord took expression in the cheers of almost 500,000 persons who welcomed the Premier home.

Xavier started its first touchdown march early in the first quarter when Roland Bergamyer intercepted one of Montgomery's passes on Xavier's 40-yard line and returned it 13 yards to Ohio's 43. On the second "play after the Interception, Nickel raced 22 yards to Ohio's 20. Walsh moved the ball 12 yards for a first down on Ohio's eight in two trys at left end. On third down, Nickel smacked through center to score.

Ohio's only sustained drive of the first' half followed, but Xavier stymied the attack by breaking up an Ohio air raid after the Bobcats had taken the kickoff and march down to the Musketeer's 20-yard line.

RENOMINATE Of Lehman Hailed Bv Roosevelt As Foes Predict G. O.P.Win. 0 'Brian Opposes Wagner- Mead And Corsi Vie For Two-Year Senate Term.

Washington, September 30 (INS) Rival party spokesmen, topped by President Roosevelt on the Democratic side, tonight vied with claims of victory in New York this fall, after acclaiming their newly nominated state tickets. A spectacular race for the gov ernorship between Governer Her bert H. Lehman, seeking a fourth term, and youthful racket prosecu- tor Thomas E. Dewey, seeking his first state office, was anticipated. Both sides, naturally, predicted victory.

The President expressed himself "extremely happy" with Lehman's decision to seek a fourth term as Governor, after announcing he would seek a seat in the United States Senate. It was no secret here that the President supported the "draft Lehman" move, despite some coolness between the two last year when the Governor opposed the Roosevelt Supreme Court reorganization bill. This was disclosed when the President announced the entire Democratic ticket before the convention actually nominated it On the Republican side, while predicting a Dewey victory, GOP chieftains were looking ahead to 1940.

He apparently expressed the views of the President although the Chief Executive, at his biweekly press conference, withheld comment.

Mr. Roosevelt did say, however, he was going to Hyde Park tomorrow night, Indicating that official tension had finally relaxed. Until today he had remained at the White House on an "hour-to-hour" basis.

Approximately 600 infantrymen were in the vanguard which first stepped across the Czechoslovak frontier.

Observers in the district reported hectic activity before nightfall on the Czechoslovak side of the border. TROOPS TAKE HORSES. It was reported wooden bridges across the Moldau River were being destroyed by Czechoslovaks.

To assure transport into Sudetenland without a hitch, the army ordered farmers to place at their disposal all available horses. The Commander-in-Chief of the German Army keyed Adolf Hitler's soldiers for entry into Sudeten ter ritory by hailing them as heralds of "German order and discipline."

In their joy at having escaped another war the masses welcoming II Duce outroared even their habitually thunderous demonstrations.

Returning from Munich exactly one year after his visit to Berlin which served to strengthen the Rome-Berlin axis, Mussolini was greeted as a chief of government who had helped save Europe from carnage. Called again and again to the balcony of the Palazzo Venezia by the cheering crowds, II Duce finally raised his hand for silence and cried: "You have lived through memorable hours. We have worked at Munich for peace according to justice. Is this not the Italian ideal?" The crowd responded as with one voice: "Yes! Yes!"

RECOVERY SIGNS Noted By Roosevelt In Praising PWA Program Employment In Building And Material Industries Up. Washington, September 30 (AP) President Roosevelt reported today that the $2,000,000,000 Public Works Administration program "is now operating successfully on a fast time table and the recovery effects of the program are already being registered." The deadline for filing PWA applications was midnight tonight. Mr. Roosevelt issued a statement compiled from a report given to him by Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior.

Ickes's report, the President said, showed the PWA program was showing "recovery effects" not only through the construction of permanent public improvements, but also by employment in the building and materials Industries.
