PURDUE. WABASH FEUD RENEWED Several Good Games Expect • ed On College Football Program Today Indianapolis. Ind., ‘Oct. 9. — (United Press)—Purdue's battle with Wabash, and Notre Dame's invasion of Minnesota featured Indiana’s college gridiron program today. Rivalry nearly as old as football itself will insure a real battle when the Boilermakers and Little Giants tangle at Lafayette. Wabash has captured two out of the Isr-t four games between the schools and one ended in a tie but Purdue, w.th one of its powerful teams in recent years looks like a winner today. Minnesota is sure to give Notre Dame a tough struggle. I Butler is the general choice to lose by a narrow’ margin at Illinois today but the Bulldogs are in real condition and may surprise Bob Zuppke’s r s pho 3ic.-es. ' ' Indiana is favored to topuid Kentucky but the Southerners will doubtless go down fighting if they go down. DePauw looks a certain winner over Hanover as the Hilltoppers ap pear to be weaker than in years. Franklin and Terre Haute Normal look to be about evenly matched with the Franklmites favored by most cr tics. Terre Haute is stronger than usual this year. Evansville expects to trim Charles-' ton Normal and many of the dopesters believe they will. Charleston is strong, however, as was shown in their 0-0 tie with Terre Haute. Earlham looks due for victory over Indiana Central. Danville is favored over Oakland City while Louisville looks a bit too strong for Rose Poly. o Chicago Meets Maryland In Intersectional Contest Chicago, Oct. 9.—(United Press) — Tl’e University of Chicago football team, today faced its rfecond intersectional battle of the season, with Maryland as its opponent. The outcome of the game was considered problematical. Coach Stagg at Chicago has a green but fighting team. The Maryland outfit, on early season dope, was considered strong but a 20-0 defeat by South Carolina last week, somewhat upset this. However, middlewesterners are rather inclined to take this defeat as an early season upset. Both coaches have announced that practically their full strength will be in the game. The crowd wa expected to break early season records. o— — Special at Sun Set Dance Pavilion Saturday and Sunday. Come early and see the Charleston up-side down. 25c admission. It

YANKS CONFIDENT OF WINNING TITLE St. Louis Cardinals Pin t Their Hopes To The Veteran Alexander r By Henry L. Farrell, > U. P. Staff Correspondent ,New York, 9.—Within striking distance of the world's championship, the New York Yankees returned to (heir home field today, confident of beating the St. Louis Cardinals in the sixth game of the world series at the Yankee stadium this afternoon. The Yankees, with a margin of three victories to two, figured that they were the assured champions. However, the veteran Yanks had to reckon with a veteran. Grover Cleevland Alexander, grand old man of the Cardinal pitching force. On the long train ride from St. Louis to New York yesterday. Miller Hug gins, manager of the Yankees, said he was not certain which pitcher he j would use today. His choice lay between Urban Shocker. Bob Shawkey and Dutch Reuther. Rogers Hornsby, the young manager of the St. Louis club, said that he had all the confidence in the world in Alex ander's ability to win the game. The Cardinal players admitted that the advantage would be all against them in the stadium. Where they have had few chances to play. Riding in on the train, the morale of the Yankees was much higher than that of the Cardinal . When the Card •inals went to St. Louis, they went to a town that was stark mad, and they received with a demonstration that was frenzied. But when the Cardinals •left St. Louis, headed by a game, it was a different story. Baseball men figured that Huggins, gambling everything for the on e game today that would win the series would start Shawkey. and if he fail led, throw in Reuther, all the time hav ing Waite Hoyt ready to go. . . | New series attendance and receipt records weie assured. The, big stad ium has been sold out for today More than 300.000-spectators will have |1,1( . .. . . u> gee the sev . I>r ........ ■ Hornsby was outspoken in criticism of his team on the train enroute here There is dissension in the ranks of the club. Hornsby told newspapermen his Cardinals were behind ooe game because of what he called “ter lible fielding behind third base.” ALEXANDER HOLDS YA N K S VV HILE , MATES BAT HARD (CONTI.MED FROM PACE ONE) across the plate.
