UPSETS LIKELY IN BUS GAMES By Dixon Stewart Chicugo. Oct. 26—(U.R) —~‘ lP lark of upsets, which has marked the first halt of the 1928 football season in the Middle West, appears likely to be chang-j ed tomorrow. Every important team In j this territory is scheduled against a formidable opimnent. and the biggest surprise would be for all games to run tine to form. lowa and Minnesota tcp the program with the only r oldest between untiefeatd western conference elevens. The game is the annual Hawkeye Homecoming and will be the twenty-third clash of the schools. The Gopheis have a big edge In the all time play, having scored It! victories. Both lowa and Minnesota entertain championship hopes and the winner of this game stands an excellent chancei of at least sharing the title. Minnesota is conceded a slight edge; but the Hawkeyes are keyed for the contest realizing that a victory will go far towards re-establishing coach Ingwersen in the good graces of lowa alumni. Ingwersen's feat is lifting the Hawks from the big ten cellar to the ranks of "championship contenders lias caused I wa fans to forget the unsuccessful 1926 and 1927 campaigns. lowa's offense Is led by Mayes Me lain, “Charging Cherokee" who led the country in scoting while playing! for Haskell in 1925. "Bronko Nacurski, the Pulversing Pole" is the ace of the Gophers' backfield and the tivalry between the two candidates for allAmetica football honors is attracting much interest. Illinois, 1927 conference champion, is an overwhelming favorite to defeat Northwestern in the Illini homecoming feature. Zuppke appears to have an even better team than in 1927, but Coach Dick Hanley has developed a strong team and has been working on , an aerial game which he believes will ruin Illin is’ homecoming and put the ■ Illini out of the championship race. Ohio, the fourth undefeated big Ten team is Indiana's homecoming guest in a game which appears to be the day’s best chance for an upset. Pat; Page has the best Hoosier team in history and although defeated by 11-, linois last week Indiana is certain to I cause plenty of trouble in the eon-; feience race. Glenn Thistlethwaite's Wisconsin i team is also in the undefeated class but a tie with Purdue has put it out of the championship running, tomorrow the Badgers meet Michigan at ann Arbor in a game which seems likely to result in the first Wisconsin victory j over Michigan since 1899. The Wolverines have lost their only thiee starts this season. Chicago, after “fearing Purdue" for many years, is finally faced with the likehood of losing to the Boilermakers. The Maroons have had “the Indian

sign” on Purdue for many years but are badly ciippled as the result of crushing defeats at the hands of lowa and Minnesota. Notre Dame’s eleven is far below the usual standard of Knute Rockne’s | teams, meets a strong Drake team but appears to have sufficient class to defeat the lowa school. Nebraska and Missouri meet at Lin coin in a game which may decide the big six conference title. The Tigers are slight favo. itrs to win but Coach Ernest Searg has a powerful club and must be given a good chance to win. Marquette is the only midwestern team engaging in the Intersectional game, traveling to Worchester, Mass., for a game with Holy Cross. Other important games include: Kansas vs. lowa State. Oklahoma vs. Kansas Aggies. Butler vs. Washington. Illinois Wesleyan vs. Millikin. Bradley vs. St. Viator. Carroll vs. Davis Elkins. Bel it, vs. Lawrence. Coe vs. Monmouth. Wabash vs. Indiana Normal Carleton vs. Cornell. Illinois College vs. Knox. lowa Teaches vs. Illinois Nothern. “Little Nellie” Gets A Rest When Tunnel Caves In On Tracks °W 1 Ind., Oct. 26. — (U.R)— .“Little Nellie" antiquated locomotive \v'i c.i , l!s trains over a branch line of the Monon railroad connecting this town, Bloomfield, Bedford and Switz City, today took a rest, due to a cave-in on a tunnel here which has been in use for fifty-four years. Several times the tunnel has caved in, causing delay in traffic and considerable outlay for work in getting it repaired. For the last six months the railroad had a crew at work clearing up debris, but a few days ago the cave gave way again. Railroad officials have not yet decided on what to do next. Survey was made to ascertain cost of building a track around the hill the tunnel pierces but it was found the bill would be $950,000 so the Idea was abandoned.

Coach Marvin Stevens will be tin- ; der the fire of the Army football team j In Yale's Bowl tomorrow afternoon, | as picturesque a game as is to be played anywhere on this date. And his system will meet a severe test. If Stevens can turn this contest for the Elis and then down Dartmouth a week later, Yale will be a much-feared opponent for Princeton and Harvard. If not, anything may happen. It would not be surprising if Stevens used a quick kick to help down the Army. He has seen the last two Army-Navy games and has probab'y had it indelibly impressed upon his memory that the Navy made close battles of each against a more experienced team in each case by timely use of the quick punt. Futhermore, when Dartmouth entered the Yalt Bowl a year ago, right after over-1 wheming both Temple and Harvard, j Yale turned the tide its way in a 19-0 j victory by use of a quick kick. Y«!e plays it as shown, the No. 1 back backing up as the ball is snapped and all other teammates bk>ck-1 ing except the two ends. Against a i 7-2-2 defense, a defense that utilizes | the safety man to stop plays ahd passes, such a 1 ick will roll for from 70 to 90 yards, as there is no defensive man to catch it. Also, look for the Harvard eleven to make ue of it today against Dartmouth, as the latter team often uses the 7-2-2 defense. Tomorrow — Darthmouth’s reverse olay for Harvard.

Pep Session Held At D. H. S. This Morning A rousing pep session during the chapel peiiud this morning placed the members of the Decatur high school football team and the pupils in a determined mood for the Yellow Jackets’ game with their old rivals, the Bluffton Tigers, at Blufftun, this afternoon. A large per cent of the student body planned to attend the game. School opened at 7:45 o'clock this morning and the no n period was shortened, so that the school could be dismissed at 2 o'clock and all who cared, to do so could atteud the game at Bluftt-on.

The Fourth Down Willie Punt Anyway no matter who li4h-s this football game at Blufftn today, the weather man can't he blamed for the defeat. A rousing pep session was held at the high school this morning, which certainly should have put the Yellow ackets in a winning frame of mind. According to statistics dug up by our good friend Roger Swaini, of the Blufftcn News, the Yellow Jackets and Tigers have played seven football games since 1902. Os that number. Bluffton lias won f ur, Decatur has won two and one game was a tie. However. Decatui holds a margin of 64 to 55 in total points se red. The record of games since 1902 is as follows: i 1902—Bluffton 18; Decatur 0. 1920 Bluffton 13; Decatur C. 1921— Bluffton 7; Decatur 7. 1922— Decatur 33; Bluffton 0. 1923— —No athletic relations between the two schools. 1925 Decatur 12; Bluffton 0. 1926 — Bluffton 3; Decatui 0. 1927 — Bluffton 14; Drcatur 6.

Peggy’s Fifth Great Romance Is A-Budding New York, Oct, 26. — (U.R) — Peggy Hopkins Joyce's fifth great romance seemed a-budding today after news came from Edinburgh that Lord David I Northesk and his American w r ife, the I former Jessica Brown of the follies, had been divorced. The lovely Peggy—who four times has been married and divorced —didn't want to be bothered by telephone calls so early in the morning, but Lord David, who accompanied her from Europe recently, was willing to chat. He was told of the divorce his wife had obtained and asked whether he was going to marry Peggy. “I hope she will marry me," he replied. A. B. C. Coach Lines Extend Present System The A. B. C. Lines, operating between Fort Wayne and Winchester, have purchased the Muncie-Wino'.ies-ter-Richmond line and have added four large Studebaker busses to their equipment. The A. B. C. lines will take over the new line : n November 1, and will operate it as a unit of their present sy tern. There will probably he no change in the present schedule until about November 10. The A. B. C. Coach Line was started in 1924, with busses making three round-tiips between Fcrt Wayne and Winchester each day. The line serves the towns and cities of Decatur, Monroe, Berne, Geneva Bryant and Portland, also. A local schedule is maintained between Decatur and Fort Wayne, also.

ARMY-YALE GAME HOLDS INTEREST

By Frank Getty, UP S|Hirts Editor. New York, Oct, 26. — (U.R) — The Army's football squad, which meets on Saturday the most formidable opposition on the most formidable schedule ever undertaken by any team, went over to Connecticut early today to be near the scene of Its all-import-ant gridiron battle with Yule. Tomorrow, before day-break, the cadet corps of the West Point will start for Yale bowl and shortly thereafter the rest of the 80,000 fortunate ticket holders will move on New Haven, by road, rail and air. The Army and the Bulldog outrank all the elevens of the east, and Saturday's encounter has aroused Interest heretofore unknown for an October football game. “Biff” Jones, Army head coach, realizing that his men have ahead of them games against Notre Dame. Nebraska and Stanford, nevertheless declares that he is tiring all he has in an effort to beat Yale. Mai Stevens, in his first year as the Eli football boss, considers the cadets the one danger to a successful season. Captain Sprague, one of the greatest tackles in the east and mainstay of the Army line, may be unable to play tomorrow, and his loss will be felt keenly but Yale has its cripples, too. Frank Oldt, an end, will be missing from the Eli forward line. Nevertheless. a victory for Yale is highly probable. Princeton will be meeting Cornell iu Palmer stadium, the first time in more than two decades the Ithacan eleven has been there, while the Navy will he seeking to regain a vestige of its lost prestige against Pennsylvania.

Old political observers, who have had no faith in crowd since Bryan drew throngs without votes, say they have seen nothing to approximate Smith's New England reception. At every stop where Smith left the train members of his party became marooned in surging throngs and at two places they were unable to reach the train when It pulled out, although they were in sight of it. At Hartford, the train was switched back and a squad of police were sent to rescue the lost battalion. At Derby-Shelton, one member of the party was left behind. The same spirit appeared to have invaded even New York which is accustomed to the governor's departu-es and arrivals. Several hundred police were required to escort him 250 yards from his train through the station subway to his hotel when his train arrived here shortly before midnight.

Arthur C. (Dazzy) Vance, at the age of 35 a veteran as hall players go I but during the 1928 season, with the ! sixth place Brooklyn Dodgers, he I turned In a record of 22 victories ! against 10 defeats. The big red faced pitcher again reigned supreme in the I strike-out dTvislon, topping the Nation|a! League hurjers by fanning 20,) op- ; posing hatters. During the past seven years in the | older circuit, Vance has proven to be j one of the most consistent pitchers in the league. His career is similar to that of Charley Root, of the Chicago Cubs, Ed Rommel, of the Philadelphia Athletics, Tony Kauffman, also iof the Chicago Cubs, and Jess Petty, team-mate of the "Dazzler" with the Robins, in the world's series glory has never been theirs to share. When the Robins won the National League pennant in 1920, Vance was then tolling with the Memphis and New Orleans teams iu the Southern Association. In bolstering Ills pitching staff for the 1922 campaign. Uncle Wilbert Robinson sent lairry Sutton, Robin scout to New Orleans to look over a pitcher named Phillips. Sutton reported back to the Elatbush headquarters with theadvice,"Thumbs down on Phillips, but buy Vance." Squire Ebliets demurred, but finally Sutton received permission to buy Vance. Has Highest Salary He did and the terms for the sale were $1,900 down with $4,000 more if he made good. Today. Vance is probably the highest salaried pitcher in the National League, and has been the best find ever made by Sutton. The Dodgers once were noted for being strong pennant contenders every four years, concurrent with tHe presidential year. Since 1912 the Brooklyn team has won three National League pennants, and were dangerous contenders in 1924. The 1924 season found Vance at his best, being voted the most valuable player in the league, and figuring prominently in the success of the Dodgers with a record of 28 victories and C defeats. However even with the famous "Dazzier” in the line-up the Robins were eliminated as pennant contenders by the stew Y'ork Giants just two days before the close of the 1924 season. That is as near as Vance has gotten to a world's series, as a player. Since joining the Robins, Vance has been the most capable performer on the mound for Manager Robertson. Vance won 18 games and lost 12 in 'lis first year, the season of 1922. The previous year he was known as the strike-out king of the "Minors,” with a record of 163 strike-outs. Struck Out For 1923, Vance retired 131 hatters

For the season. Vance allowed an average of only 2.16 ! earned tuns per game in 35 ganioy. Following the 1924 season, his record. while not the beat, compares favorably with the leading hurlers in the league. In 1925, Vance won 22 games and lost nine for the lowly Robins. That year Vance pitched the only nohit game of the season on Sept. 13, against the Philadelphia Phillies. He was slow in getting started In 1926, turning In nine victories and 10 defeats, and striking out only 140 hitters. During 1927 season, Vance won 22 games and lost 10, setting his strll* out mark at 184. And this year, another presidential year, found him once more hitting his stride, winning 22 games, losiug 10, and striking out 200 hitters. ft DECATUR 11. S. NOTES —by— ROBERT HELLER Mr. Cmtls was In charge of the chapel program today. He made a few re marks urging the high school to back the team and see the Bluffton game. He then turned the meeting over to a pep session with talks game. Mr. Blair, of the Daily Democrat, made a talk on why he thought Decatur would win. He gave statistics which showed that, although Bluffton had won more of the seven games played, Decatur had scored t ie most points He closed by saying that lie confidently hoped for and expected a victory. Mr. Curtis then called upon Kidd, who gave his opinion that the team was as good as Bluffton's and that the results of the game would depend largely upon the hacking the team would lie given and the state of mind of the players. Captain Lewis Butcher then made a short talk promising that the team would do its part if it had the student body behind it. by yells led by James Engeler and by yells lead by James Engeler and Evelyn Kelly.
