Our Caps To Be New And Young

By BOB STRANAHAN

The accent will be on youth with the Indianapolis Capitals this sea son and you won't be able to tell the players without a program, Most of them willbe new to the hockey fans. This was gleaned yesterday in a journey to the Detroit camp and a look-in last night on the 13-4 spanking handed the Indianapolis contingent by the Red Wings. Last spring after the Caps bowed out, of the playoffs to 'the champion Buffalo Bisons General Manager Dick Miller came up with the statement that “there'd be some changes made.” It begins to look as though he might have been putting it a bit mildly.

To Get Chance

At the present time the only members of last year's Cap team labeled for Indianapolis assignment in Detroit are Tony Bukovich, Steve Wochy and Les Douglas — and

name of Douglas. - Manager Jack ‘Adams of the parent Red Wings indicated that Douglas, who ‘led the American league in scoring last year, would be given every chance to nmmke the grade in the National league before a final decision is made on the makeup of the clubs.

ing most of ldst year's Omaha club to Indianapolis as well as Coach Tommy Ivan, Harvey Jessiman, picked as the all-star goalie in the United States league last season, definitely will start ini the nets this year with the Caps. He's 20 years old, five feet 10 inches tall and weighs 163 pounds. Last year was his first season as a pro. Detroit will keep both Johnny Mowers and Harry Lumley for a while and probably will use one of them as trading material. From all appearances, the defensive end of the Indianapolis club is about settled but there's considerable doubt existing on ‘the forwards. Looks Like Millar Dan Summers, an fcquisition from St. Louis; Thain Simon, a 200pounder who served as a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air force; Albert Percy Dewsbury, with Omaha last year; Frank Melong, another Knight of 1945 and Lidio (Lee) Fogolin, who captained Galt last season, are the defensemen earmarked for Indianapolis deMvery. Fogolin looks a lot like Hugh Millar and was the roughest of the lot against the Wings last night, Forwards will be drawn largely from players who were with Omaha last year or just out of Canadian senior league, Most promising of these is Gordon Howe, an 18-year-old youngster who scored #3 goals for the Knights, He was used on a line with Bukovich and Bob Wiest last night. Wiest is playing his first pro hockey after getting out of the army. First Pro Experience

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 3.— Indiana's football traveling squad, 36 deep, started the long ride to Minnesota today for Saturday's Big Nine clash with the againgolden Gophers after a spiritual injection by Coach Bo McMillin, “Thoroughbreds may tire, but they never quit,” McMillin reminded his Hoosier players who still are looking for victory No. 1 after losses to Cincinnati and Michigan. “I know we have some thoroughbreds on our football team. You

football fans a year ago, and we still are confident you are going to prove it again now that the dog days are here again.” Pressure Off McMillin and his football herd head for the northlands today without the “pressure of having to live up to their 1945 reputation and record. It's too late for that now, and McMillin and his men are right back in character—underdogs who will kick the daylights out of you if you don't watch out. Bo has cautioned his squad what to expect at Minneapolis, where Indiana won, 49-0, a year ago despite every effort to hold the count down. “Minnesota is a squad of Paul Bunyans,” he warned. “The Gophers have 24 lettermen dating back to the 1941 season and nine of these letter winners probably will line up against us at the kickoff. On top of this, Minnesota came up last Saturday against Nebraska with a real passing attack.” New Faces in Backfield McMillin paused a moment to reflect on the happenings of the last two Saturdays after that last sentence, then said, “and here we are with four touchdown passes against us already.” There will be some new. faces .in the Hoosier backfield posts Saturday. McMillin, still on the prowl for a dependable tailback, has moved the veteran Dick Deranek into the slot for a trial against the Deranek has been Indiana's leading ground-gainer the past two seasons at right halfback. McMillin can afford the switch because of the availability at right halfback of the veteran Mel Groomes, the defensive specialist; rabbit-like Robert Cowan, 1942 veteran; Don Mangold, 1943 letterman who played regularly for Great Lakes two years ago, and Johnny McDonnell, another 1943 letterman, Unless a twisted ankle keeps him grounded, Pete Pihos will operate at fullback and team up with Cannady in the line-backing depart ment. Ben Raimondi, Big ' Nine passing champ last year, will have pitching and quarterbacking relief from Bob Young, who hit five of seven for more than 75 yards at Michigan, and Jimmy Cox, junior reserve flipper.

Purdue Faces

Rocky Road

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 3. — Purdue's football forces, disrupted by an almost unprecedented series of backfleld injuries, face a rocky road against the veteran- Illinois eleven Saturday at Champaign. Coach Cecil Isbell's backfield troubles started in pre-season drills whén two leading left halfback candidates, Bill Canfield, who garnered a good share of Big Nine statistical honors last fall, and Bill Barnard, promising sophomore, were shelved by knee injuries, But his woes have been aggravated as a result of casualties suffered in the Iowa encounter, George Papach, promising sophomore fullback, now has his knee encased in a cast, and has joined the sideline backfield quartet thas also includes Bob (Stormy) Pfohl, No. 1 pre-season right halfback choice who fractured a bone in his foot in the Miami opener. Backs to Be Light So Isbell has a real problem in attempting to fashion hurriedly a ball carrying. combination capable of staging a steady drive. Emphasis in this week's drill has been placed on gearing up a running “attack that has failed to click with any consistency in two games. The Boilermakers are apt to take the field against the favored Illini with a comparatively lightweight backfield quartet.
