IlilNl-GOPHERS ARE FAVORITES By Dixon Stewart .united Press Staff Correspondent I ( J h i‘ago. oct. 22-OJ.R^lllinois and Minnesota, pre-season championship tavorlt es, shared the Big Ten leaderhip today with Ohio and low. who entered the 1928 season as Dark H The’field of championship, possibilities has heen narrowed to these four teams through the elimination of Wisconsin and Indiana, and there is no possibility of a tie at the end of tne St> Th°e schedules Are so arranged that no more than two of the remaining undefeated teams can finish the season ,mdefeated and there is now a strong Ten champion can be determined, possibility that an undisputed Big The two teams which have more than an outside chance to win the title are called upon to play the outstanding favorites, lowa meeting Min nesota, at lowa City Saturday, and Ohio clashing with Illinois on the last day of the season. The Hawkeyes and Buckeyes meet at Columbus on Nov ember 10. The game between lowa and Minnesota will top next Saturday’s football card in the middle west Added interest will be furnished by the rivalry between "Big Chief" Mayes McClain and Bronko Nagurski, outstanding candidates for the fullback berth on allconference and all-American teams. Wisconsin’s elimination from championship consideration, through a 19 and 19 tie with Purdue, furnished the only surprise on last Saturday’s play. The Badgers had been rated as one of the strongest teams in the western conference, chiefly bcause of their 22 tot victory over Notre Dame and they wete favorites over Purdue. Indiana’s removal from the charmed circle of unbeaten teams was not unexpected, hr.’ the Hoosier's great last quarter rally, tn which Im y completely outplayed Coach Bob Zuppke’s 1927 conference champions, convinced experts that the Pagemen may cause trouble before the season e'Uls. Ohio's 19 to 7 victory over Michigan furnished further proof that no matter how capable a coach may be he cannot turn out a winning team without material. Coach John W. Wilce saw his team score its first victory over Michigan since 1921, while Fielding H. Yost even with the aid of a traditional "Jinx" could not help his players. Coach Olonzo A. Stagg’s battered Chicago Maroons were unable to stand off Minnesota’s “bone crushings” and succumbed by a 33 to 7 score. Minnesota's feat of piling up 33 points indicates that the Gophers have not been overrated. Northwestern had considerable trouble in downing a hard fighting Kentucky eleven, by a 7 to 0 count, while lowa romped over Ripon, 61 *o 6- Northwestern continued to display weakness in handling the ball, making six fumbles, but gave further evidence of being stronger than rated in preseason dope. ’ The Ripon contest was just the sort of a contest the Hawkeyes team needed to put them on edge for the Minnesota Battle, and gave Burt Ingwernen an opportunity to try out a number of likely prospects. Pape, an interscholastic hurdling champion, scored our touchdowns and gave promise of giving the regular backfield men a hard fight for their positions.

University of Michigan this year. Bill Is barking signals for one of tjie four freshmen teams at the Michigan school. A total of 150 promising athletes answered the first call for freshmen football players there, and only four teams have survived the cuts. To be one of those 44 t players is a mighty creditable showing for Bill, especially when one considers Bill’s handicap of small stature. The players on the Concordia team and the big bunch of student rooters who accompanied the eleven to this city, got such a big kick out of their touchdowns here Saturday, that we almost shouted for them once or twice, despite the fact that we wanted the Jackets to win ever so badly. We like to see anyone enjoy a victory, as long as they are good winners, and the cadets were that. Again, Indiana and Purdue have proved that they are becoming strong factors to be reckoned with in this football business in the middlewest — Purdue by holding the powerful Wisconsin eleven to a 19-19 tie, and Indiana by holding the 1927 championship Illinois team to a 13-7 victory at Champaign. Yea, sports writers are looking elsewhere’ for football jokes. Indiana’s reserves defeated Illinois’ reserves at Bloomington, Saturday, 1312, which goes to show that the Hoosiers’ future is Just as rosy as those at Illinois, long a domineering power in the Big Ten.

Missouri’s Offense To Worry Nebraska , I a N -S4kulj I)r _ t‘<£\ g- Q e. / I J V

Can Kwinn Henry’s Missouri eleven repeat its victory of last season when it meets Nebraska at Lincoln on Saturday in a game that will more than determine the Missouri Valley championship? It’s always a big order to defeat Nebraska at home. Even Knute Rockne’s famous Notre Dame teams have learned that in the past. But no team seems to have a better chance than Missouri, all things considered. Splendid material is at the service cf both Henry and Bearg, the Cornbuskers’ coach, and a battle is bound to ensue. Missouri has lately adopted an offense that has proven most satisfactory. It lends itself to all sorts of open attack. It also has strong bucking possibilities. one of these line smashes that Nebraska must be on the look out for is shown above. No. 3 back starts to the right, angling slightly toward his own goal before the ball is snapped. It looks like a run in that direction. But as he passes center the ball is tossed to No. 1, who smashes between the opposing left tackle and guard, with Nos. 2 and 4 leading him. No. 4 helps the right end take out the tackle. The fake usually draws the defensive backs out of position. That aids materially in getting the runner through for a good gain. Tomorrow another line smash that Nebraska must watch out for.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT

CADETS DEFEAT YELLOW JACKETS After flashing an effective offense and a powerful defense throughout the first half of their game with the Concordia College eleven, of Fort Wayne, here Saturday afternoon, the Decatur i high school Yellow Jackets collapsed i at the start of the second half and wete swamped in their final home game of the season, 37-0. The Jackets • held the collegians to a 6-0 lead in the first half, and should have been pushed over a couple of touchdowns themselves during the period. Twice during the first half, the Yellow Jackets tore big holes in the cadets' line and the local backs dashed through for long gains to place tlie ball well inside the visitors' ten-yard line. On one occasion, they lost the ball on downs on the one-yeard line and again on the three-yard line, lackin gthe final punch to score. The second half went to the cadets by a wide margin. The entire perioii was played in Decatur territory, the locals being unable to get past the center of the field. The visitors showed much improvement in the second half their line holding much better and their backs putting more drive into their performance. The Yellow Jackets opened up a forward passing attack in the closing minutes of the game in an effort to score, and succeeded in completing three nice passes, but did not threaten the cadets’ goal line. One of the passes was intercepted and run back for a touchdown. Gahl, quarterback, scored three of the six touchdowns countered by Concordia. He crushed bver the Jacket goal line in the first five minutes of the game for the cnly score of the half. The second half had not been under way long before Nebel crashed through the line for a touchdown. The cadets had worked the ball to the twoyard line by tearing big holes in the Decatur line. The kick for extra point failed. A little later, Niepp broke away for a 20-yard run then went over for another touchdown. Again the try for point failed. Shortly after the fourth quarter opened, the cadets started another drive goalward. Niepp reeled off 12 yards and Nabel made 15 yards on a pass to put the ball on Decatur’d 17yard line. Nabel picked! up eight more yards and Gabi went over for a touch down. An attempted pass over the goal line for the extra points was grounded 1 Gahl scored his third touchdown a 1 little later when he returned a Decatur punt 40 yards for a score. A pass. 1 Gahl to Nebel, added an extra point, making the score 31-0. Concordia’s last touchdown came late in the game, ' when Niepp intercepted a Yellow Jack--1 et pass and raced 20 yards for a touch ' down. The kick failed. Voege, a substitute tackle, distinguished himself in the game by recovering three Decatur fumbles for the cadets. Nebel, Niepp and Gahl did well at 1 carrying the ball for Concordia. Debolt Gerber and Roop alternated at making nice gains for the Yellow Jackets during the first half, but none of them was able to get away for much yardage in the second period. Odle and Kocher caught two nice passes in the last quarter*. The Yellow Jackets will close their 1 seasen next Friday afternoon, in a game with their old rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, at Bluffton.

■ The management of the Washington : Senators has been Walter Johnson's ’ ambition ever since the hop wore off ■ his fast ball. When a player puts in 20 ccnsecu- ■ tive years with one club, It comes to 1 mean more to him than merely the > means of a livelihood. Perhaps the greatest disappoint- ■ ment of Johnson’s career came when : Clark Griffith released him uncondi- - tionally after two decades of faithful • service. At the time, Bucky Harris was filli ing the manage: ial berth satisfactorily - and since the "Big Train” was through as a pitcher, it seemed like good busii ness on Griffith's part to cut Walter - loose. Not good sentiment, perhaps, but > good business. i Johnson took it like a sportsman. He I declared he had the best of regard for [ his former boss. He hid away for a i while with his dogs and guns and tried . to forget about baseball. I surprised Walter at his Maryland home one day, and got him to talking baseball again and it was more than apparent wherein his heart lay. Went To Newark i "I would have liked to manage the Washington club," Johnson said a year . ago, but I guess Mr. Griffith did what . he thought best.” Later, Walter accepted the managert ship of the Newark International , League club and still later suffered a , severe breakdown which kept him a- . way from baseball longer than he had , intended. Now, it seems, Johnson and Griffith . meant what they said when they expressed mutual esteem, for Walter was summoned to Washington last week . to discuss terms and conditions under j which he would take charge of the Senators. As a player, Johnson was one of the game’s greatest. As a manager, there is every reason to believe, he .should . be a success. The "Big Train" had . something besides a fast ball when , he was up there. He was a student of , batters, and very little in baseball es- ! caped him, although as a pitcher he . was naturally mostly concerned with , defensive work in the box. In 1920 Johnson was voted the "most valuable player” in the American j League, despite the fact that it was . not until four years later that his . club won its first pennant.

i through to the tep of the league in 1924 i Johnson was. the heroic figure, if not r the hero, of the world series with the Giants. Tom Zachary, now with the - New York Yankees, won two games of > that series, and had a better pitching • record than the "Big Train,” but Johnson was the Babe Ruth of the occasion, - the figure in the spotlight. i Bucky Hanis was the i - Senators, and his love and admiration I for Johnson made itself plain in the game at the Polo Grounds, when Wai-! . ter was being batted to every corner -of Mrs. Coogan's former goat pasture. ! Instead of signalling Johnson to leave . the box. and take the long, sad walk - down past the field boxes to the dist tant club house, Bucky left his hero in, and sacrificed the ball game, it was > a touching moment, which meant a lot • to everyone concerned. And then the ! "Big Train" came back to help win the I deciding game and the World Series I for Washington. Johnson was beaten twice in that series, and the next year against lhe . Pirates he won two games and lost one. The last game was a heart-break-er for him, for the Pirates came from , behind through the smoke and gloom - and rain and drove him from the box. [ Johnson pitched one more season after that, and then Griffith announyzri . his unconditional release. : AVOID UCLYPIMPLES A pimply face will not embarrass you much longer if you get a package of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets.
