Garrett is next t ——— > The Yellow Jackets are expecting a hard battle when they journey upstate next Saturday. Garrett has long been known as a good football town. This year’s eleven is not a state championship contender, but it has plenty of ability to make it interesting for most any team. The Portland Panthers fell before the attack of the Fort Wayne Central Tigers Saturday, 28-13. The Bluffton Tigers received another hard blow Saturday when it was announced that “Pets” Knoble, one of the best all-around athletes n the school, has withdrawn from school to help his father on a farm. Pete was the mainstay of the Tiger football team and was an Important eog in the basketball and baseball teams. He was in his senior year. Bully for old Purdue. The Boilermakers, after taking a drubbing each year for some 30-odd years at the hands of the Chicago Maroons, packed a healthy punch with them to the windy city Saturday and handed old man Staggs’ boys a 6-0 defeat. So “Stagg Fears Purdue." The Scrappin’ Hoosiers from Indiana, this state’s other entry in the Big Ten, did not fare so well at Madi- ( son. Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Badgers evidently were told a thing or two during the past week after their 0-0 tie at Purdue, since they played , like veterans and handed Indiana a 27-2 defeat. On the other hand, Pat Page's Hoosiers were reported to •

weakend after their hard bdttle with Northwestern the previous week end. Notre Dame had as hard a battle last Saturday as Knute the great wishes to experience when the Northwestern Wild Cats held the Irish to a 6-0 win. A long forward pass, hurtled by a left-handed quarterback that Knute had injected into the game in the second half, was responsible for the lone touchdown. Michigan looks good to repeat as Big Ten champion again this year. The Catholic high school Commodores, after amusing themselves by reading the sport pages during the football season, will start basketball practice tonight. There is no gloomy atmosphere around the camp of the Contermen this fall. The Hartford Gorillas put up a mighty nice garni against the Chester Center Indians, last Friday night, on the latter’s floor. The Gorillas have no practice hall this winter, as the hall they used for workouts last winter is now occupied. The school officials are easting about for a place where the Gorillas can work out at least once a week. Geneva and Jefferson had a lively game for a season opener at Berne, Friday night, too. These two teams are handicapped by lack of practice also. Each tea® practices once each week on the Berne floor. Monroe is scheduled to open th? season next Friday night in a game with the Hartford Gorillaa.

Press.)—Morton high school of Riche mond. tentatively accepted by mernbier schools of the Indiana football cons ference to replace South side high; school of Fort Wayne in the Hoosier j "Big Ten” has been officially voted Into the prep grid conference. • The conference, formed last fall to ] promote interest in football within the bounds of Hooslerdom. was originally designed to include the Fort ' Wayne institution but suspension of the school by the state high school athletic association created a vacancy in the membership anti on a mail , vote. Morton was selected to replace It. At an emergency meeting c the conference here, members voted the I Richmond school to an official membership by acclamation. The resignation of Gerstmeyer, Tech of Terre Haute was also accepted by the conference and after deliberation on the choice of r. substitute school, Linton was voted a membership. Linton is known throughout the state as one of the leading football schools and the choice was made after Linton, Clinton and Brazil had been considered. The official membership of the school now includes Technical of Indianapolis. Emerson high school of Gary, Morton high school of Rich- | mond. Central high school of Evansville, South Bend, Mishawaka. Linton. Elwood. Marion and Muncie high schools. C. C.

FAVORITES STILL ON TOP OF HEAP

I— „ I No Startling L psets Occur In Middlewestern Football Games Saturday By Clark B. Kelsey (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Chicago. Oct. 25. — Middlewestern football teams settled into the fifth week of the 1926'bche<iulc today with early season favorites still resting at the top of the list, no startling upsets having -occurred, and but one dark horse in view. At present the one outstanding aggregation in this section is Notre Dame, which certainly seems destined to become the ranking team of the middle west. And if the team should go through the year undefeated, Rockne will have a good claim on national honors. in view of the stiff schedule he has mapped out. The ’ Fighting Irish” are yet to meet Georgia Tech, ftuliana. Army, Drake, Southern California and Carnegie Tech. The team already holds I wins over Minnesota. Penn State and Northwestern. Victories over one southern, one southwestern, and three western conference, one far-western and three eastern teams, would put Notre Dame in a good national championship light and these victories I are looked for. The other middlewestern favorites, Michigan and Northwestern are still . unscathed. The Wolverines have two comer- - .•**» ■ -A ' ’ "( 1 Northwestern again Jooms as a 'real conference championship possibility. I The real strength <4 the team was exhibited Saturday when the powerful Rockne outfit was able to-score but one touchdown for a 6-0 win. | The Purple still facing Purdue, Chi- ’ cago and Indiana, probably will be undefeated in the conference, at the I close of the season. Michigan, with victories over Minnesota, rated third in the conference, and Illinois, still has a hard row to I hoe. The team has meet Minne- ' sota once more, Wisconsin, and Ohio State. Minnesota is hard to beat, and Ohio State has shown enough power in its early games to cause consideraable dark horse talk. Doc Wilce gives evidence of hav- ' ing developed a real team at Columbus. He had little trouble winning from Columbia and in Ohio’s first conference game, the team won last Saturday from lowa 23-6. I Wilce has a real passing offensive ■ that is dangerous and he has that ' added requisite, the ambition of all 1 coaches, a line that will hold while the offensive gets under way. Mchigan may run up against a real snag ■□in its conference championship hopes I when it meets Ohio State. ! o I - i Indians Gather From All 1 Parte Os Country; Not For Pow-wow But Grid Game < f Lawrence, Kans., Oct. 25. —(United 1 Press) —The building of the biggest | Indian village in the history of the s west will get under way in earnst here • today as Haskel! Institute‘sweir- mes 5 one of the largest gatherings of Inde ians in a single encampment that the - race has ever known. For Haskell Is i- getting ready for the dedication of a '• $200,000 football stadium next Wednesday and the staging of the first sK . « L.

Indian homecoming. • The celebiation wil! culminate Saturday. October 30. with a football game between Haskell's Indian eleven nnd Buckneil College of Lewisburg Pa. All the atmosphere of the old-time Indian village is being carried out. The ancient dances of the tribes will be gone through to the throbb’ng of th tom-tom. The war cry of Sioux, ’’awnee, Comanche ard the other tribes cf Hie p ares will again resound through the Kaw Valley. The piece de resistance on the minus for the day will be buffalo meet. But a different picture will present itse'.f to the gaxe of the one-time rulers cf the p'ains. The assemblage of the tribes will not be for the purpose of receiving belts of pence from the hands of their brother tribes; it will not be a council to decide whether to mass against the advancing paleface, as once it wag. I,he lure this time is the very modern lure of football. And it is not quite the same village which some years ago would have greeted the Redmen as they assembl-
