Hat Page Indiana University head footbull coach, pitted his men against a picked freshman team which used the Notre Dame style of play. The homecoming game this year means much to Indiana. Since the game is with a team outside the Western Conference, all Big Ten teams playing Indiana this season will have scouts in the stands watching the Pagemen. A victory over the Irish would give Indiana a place among the most feared elevens in the conference this year. Page is taking all of this into consideration as he drills his men for the crucial contest. Scrimmage today and heavy practice tomorrow will he Page's last chance to Ingle out men who will undertake the duties of game captains I-ast week Mankowski and Hojnaeki. both of Detroit. Mich., weie the defense leaders in the two games against Wabash and Ohio. Brubaker, Fort Wayne, and Garrisom Indianapolis, were captains on the offense. Competition is keen tor these all-important Jobs in the Notre Dame game. Sophomore candidates are showing promise in practice this week, and it is expected that Page will use some of them Saturday to play with the I. U. veterans. Indiana has a great quartet of fleet, first year backfield men in Baer, Ky.; Dauer. Gary: Koenig, Cleveland. 0„ and Dross. Detroit. Michigan. The first three are halfbacks, and Dross is a quarterback AM of Hjese men were out for the freshman track team last year. Eber. of Muncie, a fullback, is another sophomore back whA looks promising. Five sophomore linemen probably will see action Saturday. They are: Antonini, Clinton, guard; Joyner. Newcastle. tackle; Zeller, East Chicago, end; Perkins. Raub, tackle . and Hansen, River Forest, 111., end. They all are giving the veteran linemen a fight for team positions. - o Along the Sidelines —(UP)— West Point. N. Y.. Oct. 2.— Lineup shifts were made in yesterday's Army football practice. Coach Biff Jones Sent Price in at right tackle to supplant Parham. Malloy took the right end post that had been filled by Kenney. O Keefe returned to left half. Glattle played that position last Saturday because O’Keefe been hurt. New York. — Coach Chick Meehan of New York university had his second consecutive day of rainy football practice yesterday and was happy about it. Meehan said the heavy gatng was just what his boys needed in preparation for the West Virginia Wesleyan game here Saturday. The Bobcats are sure to give the Violets lots more opposition than Vermont university did last week. New Haven. Conn. — Yale's varsity showed real strength yesterday in both offensive and defensive play. The scrubs were unable to gain in 10 consecutive attempts. The varsity scored four touchdowns. Princeton, N. J. —Princeton completed several passes for good gains in yesterday’s practice scrimmage with the Rutgers university eleven but the visitors also knew some things about passing and taught some of them to the Tigers. Both of the squads worked at full speed despite the rainy weather. Trix Bennett’s end-running was the Tiger brightener. Lafayette, Ind.,—-Purdue football followers expect to see Notre Dame added to the name of McMillin when the Kansas' Aggies meet Purdue here Saturday. A cousin of the famous “Bo” McMillin, is slated to pilot the big six conference team’ from the quarterback position. With “Bo’’ McMillin in his second year as coach of the Kansas school and his cousin. Ray. piloting the team, observers are looking forward to some spectacular work. Valparaiso, Ind. — The Valparaiso college squad is spending long hours drilling on defensive tactics this week in preparation for the Terre Haute Normal game here Saturday. Undismayed by the drubbing received from John Carroll last week, Valparaiso followers are confident this week’s game will show a highly improved team. o “One-Eyed” Connolly On Way To Chicago Canton, Oct. 2. — (U.K) — One-eyed Connolly, the world champion gatecrasher fs riding today on his way to Chicago — probably in some millionaire's sedan l —to attend the opening game of the world series.

BIG THREE OPEN GRID SEASONS New York. Oct. 2. —(U.R) —The march down the field of the football fbrces of Yale, Harvard and Princeton in their opening contests will enliven the eastern schedule this week-end. The first games by the so-called “big three” are in the nature of hollow gestures, for only something in the nature of an athletic earthquake could bring victory to their opponents. Yale’s foe for Saturday is Vermont, and the Burlington boys were trounced 77 to 0 by N. Y. U., last Saturday. Harvard plays Bates. Bates lost last Saturday. Princeton plays a “little three’’ member in Amherst, and Amherst shouldn't be hard. Even though the contests are not even ones, they wilt be closely watched by the legion of fans who follow the play of the Cambridge, Princeton and New Haven elevens. Makeup of all these teams is at least as uncer-. tain as are other elevens, and the fans want to know who’s going to play ball this year. No single personality has commanded more pre-game attention than Ulbie Booth. Yale. 'During the days of the first Yale workouts he was half the story. Last week he was shunted back to the second team, hut maybe psychology was the cause. Now the experts have it that Booth is sure to play somewhere in the Yale backfield but his position has not been determined. The Harvard commencement of real activity should be one of a well seasoned squad. Although the Crimson host started practice much later than most of the other eastern elevens. Coach Arnold Horween has been driving his men at top speed all this week. Enough bf a let-down is to be allowed Friday to have the men fit. Two members of the younger vanguard of Harvard backs. Mays and Galligan, have been performing brilliantly in recent practices. Princeton is blessed with plenty of passers. Lowry, most likely candidate for fullback, is a splendid passer and a good punter. ————<o Little World Series Opens In Kansas City Kansas City. Mo., Oct. 2. — (U.R) — The Rochester Red Wings and Kansas City Blues opened the "Little World series" here today. It was the first time this city had seen the series since 1923. Manager Billy Southworth had the Rochester club on the field for a short batting and fielding drill early. They were followed onto the lot by the Blues. o Witchcraft Mania From one end of Europe to the otb er during the period of the Reformn tion, executions of witches were of dnily occurrence and It Is estimated that from 1484 until 1782 300.000 worn en and children perished on this Im aginary charge.

BIG TEN TEAMS WORKING HARD Chicago, Oct. 2. (U.PJ— With only three days remaining to prepare their teams for Saturday's contests. Western Conference football coaches sent their squads through strenuous workouts today. Scrimmages, dummy tackling and lengthy signal drills occupied the elevens. In most Instances the teams will '►e at full strength when they trot onto the fields, players receiving Injuries in initial contests having recovered. Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame and Pat Page of Indiana ’specially have sent their charges through stiff workouts in preparation f or the Indiana Notre Dame fray at Bloomington, Neither coach anticipates an easy struggle and they have conditioned 'heir squads accordingly. Dick Hanley. Northwestern mentor, apparently unsatisfied with his squad, (nt'mated that several changes might be made before the Wildcats lineup against Butler at Evanston. Expecting a stiff battle. Coach Harry’ Kipke at Michigan has driven his Wolverines hard for their battle with Michigan State at Ann Arbor. Michigan, at present, is rated among the favorites for the Big Ten championship. Down at Champaign. Illinois, also 's expecting little competition from Kansas University. The Illini showed »o good advantage in scrimmages against the freshmen, using Kansas plays. Minnesota’s heavy aggregation is nearing form for its clash with Coe College in Minneapolis. Although Coach Doe Spears had to rebuild his team from last season, the Gophers are well fortified in all departments and are expected to dispose ms Coe handily. Purdue's Boilermakers, most of •hem lettermen, will be in good shape when they square off with the Kansas Aggies. The Boilermakers also have been driven hard. Coach Phelan making it known that the Aggies are not to he looked up as a setup. The Wisconsin Badgers have about j ••eached the peak of condition for ■ •heir intersectional fray with Colgate at Madison. The Badgers, also look-1 ad upon with favor will meet Northwestern a week later. lowa, with several promising play- j ers declared ineligible, has practiced : seriously for its clash with Mon-' mouth at lowa City. The Buckeyes are expected to emerge easy victors.. Ohio State, although expected to be , accorded little apposition by Witten-1 berg, has been on the practice field ; ’or long drills. Coach Alonza Stagg’s Chicago Maioons are fully prepared for Beloit. i. o — Girl Baseball Club Owner Will Continue Milwaukee. Oct. 2..-<U.R>—Miss Florence Killilea, dark-haired girl owner of the Miwaukee Brewers will keep her financial interest in the basebail club although it finished seventh in the American association this season. Florence, who jumped from the role of university co-ed to that of America’s first feminine owner of a major league ball team, los’ $60,000 the first season after the death of her father. Henry J. Killilea, but she's not going to quit. “I'll keep the club,” she said in her slow determined drawl. “I’ll keep it indefinitely.” "The club just had some bad breaks" said the girl, whose conrige has won for her the respect of her team. Florence isn't discouraged Vvith baseball and she’s planning to go south with the Brewers when they start spring training.

Four Irishmen for Homecoming i A Joe /\ gfgb r Mt W |||n[ j c ■ ‘ kNUTC QOCkNC a a a PaT'PaGC- “ The only game Notre Dame plays in the State of Indiana this year is the Homecoming contest with Indiana Saturday. October 5 at Bloomington. The Irish are building a new stadium and are playing all their games outside the state except the Indiana University contest at Bloomington. Sports critics look for a close battle. Two line stars who will exhibit plenty of “Irish” are J’nger. Indiana, tackle, and Moynihan, Notre, Dame, center. As for the coaches. Knute and Pat, everybody knows they'e Irish.

These football days certainlv rile up the sporting blood of 99 44 per cent of the g eat American public. Don’t they Mr. Ivory Soap? Huntington high school Vikings face Sou h Side of Fort Wayne this week-end. The Vikings have a perfect record so far this seasen—they have failed to score—South Side has a similar record —they have failed to score. Say. Bluffton, it must be “offal” to have to support a team that can’t even make a touchdown—don’t you s’pose. The Bluffton sport writers are slowly coming to—as near as it is ever possible—after the big home-coming celebration, which Central so nicely helped the Tigers celebrate. Now and then either Pete or Kay takes a ”siow-poi-son” crack at the Yellow Jackets. But after two decisive defeats in two successive week-ends —it appears that the “much-needed pep" has gone to the "heels" in Bluffton. The Tigers play Auburn this weekend. And the Tigers have a splendid | chance to win—Auburn isn’t tough. Kay. It's correct the Young-coached ag gregation defeated Decatur —but we very much doubt if they could do i now. AND WE STILL BELIEVE THAT OFFICIALS SHOULD CARRY RULE BOOKS WHEN OFFICIATING ANY ATHLETIC EVENT. For instance a misconstruction of a rule in the approaching BlufftonDecatur game might easily mean “civil war”. Pete, don’t you think that the cheapest life insurance the officials for he October 25 game could buy would be a 35 cent rule book? Let's take ’em as they come Yellow Jackets—BEAT NORTH SIDE. Coach Kidd has been sending the Jackets through a series of defensive work-outs for the approaching Indianscalping tray. IF THE YELLOW JACKETS PLAY FOOTBALL, DECA TUR WILL WIN. If the Yellow Jackets go into the game with an indefferent attitude—the outcome will be different. The big college game in Indiana Saturday is the Indiana-Notre Dame tilt at Bloomington. It’s home-coming at Indiana—The Irish have another one of those “trottin’, pacin’, galloppin"' backfieldc—but anyway it will be a good game. Purdue opens its season by meeting the Kansas Aggies at Lafayette. Northwestern entertains Butler of Indianapolis at Evanston—Oberlin

plays DePauw at Oberlin — All the conference teams get into action—in fact the sea on opens in earnest thioughout the United States. Betting odds in New York are 11-10 that Philadelphia will beat the cubs They’ve dropped down from 10-5 and a lot of Chicago money is approching the east in «: defiant manner. Coach Herb Curtis has issued a call for all basketbail candidates—not play ing football—and practice sessions for te big winter sport wili start in Deca tur tonight. Herb says the material looks good this season—We ought to have a good team —one ha.:d to beat —A lot of newcomers from Junior high school appear as likely candidates —and several from last year’s team are still with us. The Yellow Jacket schedule will 1 be announced in the next few days and several new teams will appear on the list this year. Bit, it’s still football season—and let’s BEAT NORTH SIDE. Bruff Cleary and Gunnar Elliott wih work the game at Fort Wayne Saturday. Both of these officials believe that the Not th Side shift is legal--which will make it a little tougher— You notice Bluffton we i: ive a nice alibi ready—in case of accident —lm we don't think we’ll have ■ use 1* — FOR THE YELLOW JACKETS CAN BEAT NORTH SIDE, IF THEY HAVE THE WILL. o HOME RUN CLUB —(U.R)— ♦ LEADERS 6 Ruth, Yanks 46 Ott, Giants 42 Klein, Phils 42 L.
