BUTCHER TO CAPTAIN 1928YELL0W JACKETS

GUARD ELECTED TO LEAD TEAM Election Held Following Banquet Given For Team; Awards Announced Lewis Butcher, big fighting guard, will captain the Decatur high school football tarn during the 1928 campaign Butcher was elected captain of the Yellow Jackets at a meeting of this year's letter men held at tiie high school building last night, immediately following a banquet which was given for the squad and coaches. Ralph Tyndall and Herb Curtis, bv Superintendent M. F. Worthman and Principal Walter J. Krick. Butcher will succeed Chet Reynolds as pilot of the Yellow Jackets. Reynolds was given a great ovation at the banquet last night and was hailed as one of the greatest captains a Decatur high school football team has ever had. He played fullback and was the most Consistent ground gainer on offense and on the defense, he was one of the best in northern Indiana. Butcher played in every game at gat'd this year and very few plays came through his position in the line. He will make a good Captain next year. A chicken dinner was served to the Yellow Jackets, their coaches and a few other guests by Messrs. Wortliman and Krick last night. The meal was prepared by the girls of the domestic science classes of the high school and was delicious. Mr. Krick acted as toastmaster and toasts were given by Mr. Worthman. Coach Tyndall, Coach Curtis; J. R. Blair, of the Daily Democrat, Captain Reynolds, Roy Ana-dell, Gerald Koos, Dick Stoneburner. Bill Bell, Robert Hill senior members of the squad; and Miss Jeanette Clark, girls' physical training supervisor in the public school of this city; and a few other members of the squad. All of the speakers were well pleased with the showing made by the Yellow’ Jackets this year. The YellowJackets who spoke were greatly disappointed, however, that they had met defeat at the hands of their old rivals. the Bluffton Tigers and Kendalville, and judging from the vows taken by members of next year's squad, Bluffton and Kendallville will pay dearly next fall for this year's victories over the locals. Coach Tyndall commended the players for their cooperation and fine spirit shown during the season. He praised them for their strict adherence to train ing rules and their clean playing, even when their opponents were inclined to be dirty. . The names of the players who will receive major and minor letter awards for their services with the squad this fall were announced by Coach Tyndal/ also. Major awards will be given to fourteen players and ten will receive rtiinor awards. It has not been decided whether sweaters will be given to those receiving major awards, but it is probable that they will. The players receiving major awards are: Captain Reynolds, Captain Elect Lewis Butcher, Krick. Hili, R. Kiess, Hilyard, Cole, O. Koos, Gerber, Anadell. Roop, Bell, Stoneburner and Dick Engle. Those receiving minor awards are: Lankenau W. Kiess, R. Butcher, Schnepp, Hebble. Heller, Brown, Kocher and Cable. Misses Dessolee Chester and Blanche McCrory, members of the high school faculty, were guests at the banquet last nigjht, also. - * ON THE SIDELINES * CHICAGO—Coach A. A. Stagg of the T'niversity of Chicago concentrated this week on a defense for Mte long passing attack, of Michigan, Stagg feels that his team can stop the Wolverine running atack, but! fears the passing combination of Gilbert and Oosterbaan. EVANSTON, 11l. —Walter Holmer will be on the passing end of Northwestern's attack Saturday, Coach Dick Hanley has indicated. Holmer’s long passes worked well against Missouri last Saturday. Lewis and Gustafson will do the major part of the ball carrying. LAFAYETTE, Ind.—lnspired by a defeat of Montana State, Purdue hoped to win her first big 10 football victory of the year against Northwestern in Ross Ade Bowl Saturday. The Wilcox and Welch backfield, combination is set for a running attack mixed with a forward passing offensive.

i Mickey Walker Easily Knocks Out Mike McTigue 1 Chicago, Nov. 2—(UP) — Mickey Walker, who has possessed both the welterweight and middleweight world's boxing championships, today If held high hopes of gaining a third [ title—the light heavyweight. Micjlley's optimism followed an easy victory which he scored over 1. the venerable Mike McTigue here (1 last night. n Walker beat McTigue to the floor e in the first round, using a series of s rights ami lefts to the body and n tl crashing right to the jaw. , Before McTigue was counted out he showed one of the gamest streaks ever exhibited in the prize ring. Victim of what might be termed a lucky punch—a right to the jaw>— Mickey landed as the round opened, McTigue was groggy from the start. FOOTBALL TEAMS : RATED BY WALSH > A Noted Sports Writer Declares Himself Against Current System Os Rating i New York, Nov. 2.—(IN’S) — Just or the sake of talking through his adenoids, the writer would like to leclare himself today against) the ■urrent system of rating football earns by the fact that they have or lave not won all games on a schedule hat may include very harrowing congests with Upsala, Gallaude and the nstitute for the Preservation of 'deals. There are some fifteen colleges that remain unbeaten for the 1927 season to date and at least six of them are so much eye wash as ar as national ranking is concerned vhile the status of five more is at cast open to reasonable doubt. Yale has committed the heinous in of losing a football game this cason; yet Yale, judged on its record, belongs absolutely. In fact, for 11 anyone knows, the Blue may be he greatest team in the country. \nyhow, win. lose or draw. I see fit o p'ace Yale in my list of preferred rams, chosen without regard for heir winning percentages. The list follows: Notre Dame, an inevitable choice: ’rnn State, beaten by Bucknell which was beaten ?,4 points by the trmy; Southern California, also inoitable; Minnesota, Yale, Southern Methodist, Illinois and GeorgiaOnly two outfits in the list, Notre 'ime and Georgia, have remained unbeaten and untied; thtree others >ave tie scores against their records ind two have suffered actual defeats. Yet, to me, they constitute the standout teams at this time because they have stepped out with the big timers without losing caste. However, the drafting of any preferred list is a dangerous thing because the odds are against anyone be'ng able to mention all the deserving entries and still keep the list within the limits of Webster’s abridged edition. Nebraska, for example, probably belongs merely on the face of its record. It blew a one-point defeat to Missouri, which really shouldn't mean much. But it does. The secondary list might include the following teams, almost any one of which could be advanced to the front rank without further notice: Stanford, Missouri. Nebraska, Michigan. Pittsburgh, Washington and Jefferson, Princeton, Washington, Chicago and Tennessee. At least, four of these teams, Pittsburgh, W. and J., Princeton and Tennessee have suffered neither defeat nor tie this year, but what of it? Pittsburgh’s record shows a series of cross country runs against Thiel, Grove City. West Virginia, Drake and Carnegie Tech and Allegheny. It is unfortunate for Pitt that West Virginia, Drake and Tech had to have weak teams at one and the same time but the point is that decisions over such teams mean no more than a punch in the nose from a chorus man- —. CHAMPAIGN, HI. — Coach Bob Zuppke, cheered by the showing made by his reserves against Michigan last Saturday, spent considerable time developing the dozen/ sophomores. on whom Illini hopes will depend in the future, today. Art D’Ambrosio, who was suspended from the University for violation of the no- • j student auto edict has returned to : the squad. He may play against lowa | Saturday at fullback-
