BIG TEN GAMES HOLD INTEREST — By Dixon Stewart, Chicago, Oct. 19. — (U.R) — Football epicurreans of the middlewest are provided with another choice menu for Saturday. There is no such outstanding treat such as the Notre Dame-Navy clash of last week, which drew 120,000 fans to Soldier's Field, but as a whole the schedule is the best single day’s card offered thus far this season. The presence of a dozen "big’ games and several times as many of lesser importance assured that nearly a quarter million fans will desert offices and comfortable fireplaces for the opportunity of watching squads of huskies decide gridiron supremacy Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame squad deserts the midwest to start its annual ramblings, and while the y-ish are playing at Georgia Tech, the Big Ten conference will monopolize the stage in this section. Eight of the western conference elevens will see action against conference foes and when daikness falls Saturday night the list of undefeated teams will be reduced to not more than five. Illinois and Indiana head the Big Ten schedule with the only contest between undefeated teams. Indiana | defeated Michigan. 6 to 0, in its only , conference game to date, while the Hoosier battle will be the first con | ference engagement for the Illini. Coach Bob Zuppke's Illini are out- I standing favorites to win the confer | ence title, chiefly because of their 1927 triumph and the fact that they , have an almost entire veteran team. 1 Illinois has defeated Bradley and Coe. 1 Coach Pat Page of Indiana also is blessed with veteran material and but for the fact that the Hoosiers are playing an almost impossible scheduled of six conference games, they would be one of the strong favorites. Page’s team made gridiron history last week by defeating Michigan for the first time in several years of competition In Harrell and Bennett the Hoosiers have two of the best halfbacks in the Big Ten and it would not be a particularly surprising upset (op fhese stars to trip the Illini. Zuppke has a wealth cf backfield stars. Including Trimm. Mills, Steusy, Humbert and Kenneth Fields, a sophomore forward pass wizard, while they should win, they have not had a test this season against conference op opents and may not be taking the Hoosier threat seriously enough to assure a victory. At Lafayette, Ind., Glenn Thistlewaite's Wisconsin Badgers open their Big Ten season against Jimmy Phelan’s Purdue eleven. Wisconsin is favored chiefly because of its 22-6 win over Notre Dame in the season’s opener. Purdue has one of its best teams in years but lost to Minnesota last week, 15 to 0. Wisconsin defeated Notre Dame solely on superior line play and the keenness of the Badgers in following the ball. They showed little offensive ability and may strike a snag in the Boilermakers, who have a preposing array of backfield talent. “Pest" Welch, Carraway, Harmeson, et al, are good enough to gain against any competition and should make a much improved showing over their play of last week. Minnesota’s undefeated eleven will play Chicago’s Maroons, at Minneapolis, while Michigan will dash with Ohio State at Columbus in the other two Big Ten games. Minnesota and Ohio are picked as probable winners. Northwestern plays an intersectional game with Kentucky, at Evanston, and lowa meet Ripon at lowa City. Other interesting games include: Nebraska vs. Syracuse at Lincoln; Kansas vs. Kansas Aggies; Missouri vs. Ames; Oklahoma vs. Creighton; Michigan State vs. Colgate; Butler vs. Danville Normal; Evanston vs. DePauw; Franklin vs. Earlham. o North Side Wins North Side high school, of Fort Wayne, defeated Kendallville, at Kendallville, Thursday afternoon, in a football game. 7-0.

Defense That Stopped End Run H- ( I By SOL METZGER Every up-to-the-minute coach got wise to the long record pass made by California against Ohio State in 1920, the play described in yesterday's article. The defense for it was worked ' out. Merely have the back on the I right side on defense hold his place until the left end came down for the i pass and he would break it up. This play was too good to be drop- | I ped because of that. Thus, one coach , | used it against North Carolina in a j southern game with a neat variation I that made it work four times in one I game a few seasons back. When the ball was snapped, guard ! ! No. 6 came out of the line, as indicat- • ed in the digram, and swept out around his own left end. As he started down the field he turned in to the right. The North Carolina back, mistaking him for the right end, followed his across the field. Thus, when C seconds had elapsed and the left end. No. 5. ran down to take the long pass, the field was cleared for him.—Tomorrow—Columbia will be ready for Dartmouth. (Copyright 1928 Publishers Syndicate) Basketball League Not Likely To Start Season Fort Wayne, Oct. 19—TJ.PJ —According to officials of the Fort Wayne Basketball association, theie is little chance of the American basketball league stai ting the season this year, either in its original ferm, with eastern and western division. St. Louis and i lated divided foim, with an eastern 1 and western division. St. Louis and | Minneapolis, two of the six cities | which had been lined up to form the ! western division, have failed to post forfeits and have practically served | notice that they have decided not •,> enter. The other four cities in the western division, Foit Wayne, Cleveland. I Chicago and St. Paul, are ready to! start the season, it is said, but mere | cities would be needed in the league I to make it a success. The eastern division probably will I operate this season, with the members i teams making trips west for exhibition | games occasionally. Officials cf the local basketball association promise a high class team for Fort Wayne, no matter if the city does not have league bah. c “Bucky” Harris To Manage Detroit Baseball Club Detroit. Mich., Oct. 19—(U.R>—Stanley "Bucky” Harris has been appointed manager of the Detroit tigers for the season of 1929, Flank Navin of the Detroit basebail club announced today.

YELLOW JACKETS END HOME SEASON Decatur high school’s Yellow Jackets will make their final home appearance of the present football season Saturday afternoon, when they clash with the Concordia College eleven, of Fort Wayne, on the gridiron at the Decatur Country Club. The game will start at 2:30 o’clock. The locals showed considerable improvement last week in their game with Portland, but were nosed out. 14-13. This week, they have continued to improve and they are expected to make a strong showing against the collegians. Last year, the Yellow Jackets defeated Concordia, at Fort Wayne. 12-7. Bauer, of Fort Wayne, will referee the game here tomorrow. 0 — Big Teams In East Meet Crucial Tests New York, Oct. 19.—(U.R) —Crucial tests await the football forces of the Army, Yale, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania along the eastern hat tiefront tomorrow. Rated among the eastern leaders this season, these four teams will have a chance to prove their de serve the compliment. The Arnij plays Harvard at Cambridge. Yale plays Brown at New Haven, Dartmouth plays Columbia at Hanover and Pennsylvania plays Penn State at Philadelphia. The Army and Yale have won two notable intersectional victories, but have yet to prove their mettle against strong opposition in their own section. The cadets beat S. M. U„ 14 to 13, two weeks ago and Yale beat Georgia a week ago, 21 to 6. o —— Weather Mars Model Airplane Demonstration Although the weather was far from favorable, the membeis of the Boys Aero Club gave a short demonstration of their tiny airplanes in Niblick Field Thursday afternoon as planned.

"SMOKERS WHO COULDPAY MORE Still Prefer This Nickel Cigar Watch the kind of men who smoke Havana Ribbon. Not just those whose pocketbooks are none too flush. But well-to-do men who have gained success because they know values. Havana Ribbon is the greatest 5c cie-ar in the country today! It was remarkable value when it sold, in the same size, for half again as much. Increased production by the millions lets us put the same high quality tobacco into it at the fivecent price as was used when we sold fewer and had to charge more: c Long-filler, ripe tobacco from heart to wrapper. No “scraps" or short ends. No bitter under-ripe top leaves pf the plant. No flat-tast-ing oyer-ripe bottom leaves. Nothing but fine-tasting, fragrant, mellow-mild fully-ripe middle leaves • .Alan, man, get acquainted with this unusual cigar! There’s a counter nearby.
