MINNESOTA AND PURDUE LOOM AS FAVORITES Standing Is .Jumbled By Up-1 sets And Ties In Big Ten Conference ♦_ NEXT SATURDAY'S BIG TEN GAMES Illinois at Northwestern. Purdue at Wisconsin. Chisago at Princeton. Indiana at Minnesota. Pittsburgh at Ohio State. Michigan State at Michigan, i — ♦ By Bert Dernby VP Staff Correspondent Chicago. Oct. 28.—(U.R>—Those Boilermakers of Purdue and the Gophers ( of Minnesota continued to stand out as favorites to win the 1929 title as I Big Ten teams went into practice to- I day for the fourth set of conference i games to be played next Saturday. 1 At present there are four teams in I the conference — Minnesota. Purdue, ill'nois and Ohio —which have not < tasted defeat but Illinois and Ohio < have been held to ties. < Purdue has the actual leadership I with two games on the won side of the column. Minnesota has engaged I in only one contest, its defeat of t Northwestern. Noted for the upsets it produces the t Big Ten is a hard spot for and pre- < dieting hut judging from the ached- • tiles of lioth Purdue and Minnesota I from here on it seems quite possible that either one or both teams will go < through the season undefeated. 1 Purdue yet must play lowa. Wiscon- • sin and Indiana. Wisconsin has not c shown anything so far which would < put fear into as good a team as the I Boilermakers and Indiana, although it always plays its best game against e Purdue, lost to Chicago, a team which < Purdue defeated 26-0 last Saturday, t lowa has been beaten by Ohio and 1 Indiana was good enough to tie the J Buckeyes 0-0 Saturday. • Minnesota yet must meet Indiana. ' lowa. Wisconsin and Michigan and < like Purdue it stands to win from the former three if past performances are 8 to be taken as a criterion. Michigan. 1 too has shown little. The Wolver- r hie team, rated asr one of the favor- ' ites before the season started has not lived up to advance expectations. First j a it lost to Purdue and then Illinois pi!- 1 ed up a 14-0 count over it Jast Saturday. t In the other conference game, lowa s defeated Wisconsin, 14-0. Minnesota 1 went out of the conference to steam roller Ripon into a 54-0 defeat and a Northwestern overran Wabash. 66-0. I Illinois and Ohio, the two undefeat- a ed teams which have been tied would seem to have tougher sledding than I either Minnesota or Purdue. Illinois ' yet must play Northwestern. Chicago - and Ohio State and Ohio meets North- a western and Illinois. The opinion seems to exist that Minnesota has one of the best teams 11 in America. Coach Doc Spears has! molded together an outfit which strongest point seems to be its reserve strength. Spears can call on ] any number of extra men who are , about as good as the regulars they re- . place. i Purdues with a light but fast line, ( seems to be working on the theory j that a good offense is the best defense , and it certainly has the offensive ma- j terial. When Harmeson, Welch, Yune- , visit and White start down the field it takes a real team to halt them. It . begins to appear that the Boilermak- ( ers have he best backfield the middle- , west has seen since the four Horseman achieved national acclaim for Notre Dame. o - ♦ ; • Along the Sidelines —<U.R>— ♦ ♦ Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 28 —(UP)— Indiana's Hoosiers returned from Columbus today heartened over their moral victory in holding Ohio State to a scoreless tie Satuiday. A light workout and a lecture by Coach Page on mistakes in ths last game were on the program today as training started fur the battle with Minnesota this week. « Lafayette, Oct. 28 —(UP) — Coach Jimmie Phelan planned only a short signal practice for the Purdue regulars today as he began preparations for Saturday's contest with Wisconsin. The reserves were scheduled for a stiff scrimmage. Few men were on the injured list and Purdue followers were confident of victory this week. Indianapolis, Oct. 28 —(UP) —Returning here today from New York, Butler began intensive training for its game with DePauw. A short scrimmage was on today's program, with reserves being used in holes left vacant -by several injured men. Greencastle, Oct. 28 —(UP) —Determined to avenge its defeat of last Sat-

urday. DePauw went through a spirited scrimmage today without the services of seVernl tegulars. Many of the first string men who were still on the injured list were sent in to check Fianklin list week, and wire treated for new injuries today. TWO NEW STARS APPEAR IN EAST New York, Oct. 28. —(U.R) High up in the football skies were emblazoned today the names of little Alble Booth —Yale's Blut dart —and big Alton Marsters — Dartmouth's Gre<.n Ghost. For these two streaks riddled a pair of powerful gridiron units—Army and Harvard-with dazzling displays of Imil-carrying at New Haven, Conn., and Cambridge, Mass., Saturday. ‘‘Little Boy Blue” Booth. 144-pound sophomore halfhack, sat huddled under a blanket on the sidelines while Army piled up a 13 to 0 Jead against Yale. Midway of the second quarter the tiny Yale star went into the game. A few minutes later he had slit the big Army line to ribbons and scored a touchdown. When he was done for the day. he had scored three touchdowns, kicked three goals and singl ■- handed led Yale to a spectacular 21 to 13 victory. It was the greatest exhibition of one man ball-carrying since Rod Grange scored four touchdowns in opening period of \he Illinois-Michi-gan game in 1924. Marsters. 190-pound quarterback, put Harvard’s highly-touted team to rout with a brilliant all-around offensive performance which gave Dartmouth a 34 to 7 victory. He scored only two out of five touchdowns, but he played a prominent part in every Dartmouth advance. hi actual yardage gained, Marsters overshadowed Booth but feat of the I little Yale back in hauling his team back from the brink of defeat stands out as one of the most miraculous individual performances in all gridiron history. Yale was a sluggish hopelessly beaten football team, if ever there was one. until the New Haven lad came to the rescue. From the very minute Booth stepped onto the field he injected first and fight into the heart of the Yale team and the Army defense Wilted away before the sharp thrusts of this diminutive, bare-lefged boy. Booth carried the ball 21 times and gained a total of 215 yards, crowning his day’s performance with a 75-yard runback of a punt for Yale’s final I touchdown in the third period. i Marsters carried the ball 23 times and gained 240 yards. Includ'ng runbacks of kicks he totaled 332 yards. Next Saturday in Yale bowl these two eastern satellites will meet in a supreme duel when Dartmouth plays Yale. • Marsters, big, powerful and speedy, appears to have all the edge ov«r Booth, little, shifty and with only half a season's experience. Chris Cagle, Army's all-America back, dimmed Booth's star until Albie went into action, but when the YaleArmy game was over Cagle was just! another football player. Indiana Students Are “Doing Their Part” Bloomington, Ind.. Oct. 28. — (U.P.) — Bearded faces of. men students and co-ed faces devoid of powder, rouge and lipstick are plentiful at Indiana university today No shaving and no cosmetics will be used until the I. U. football teanj wins. The scoreless tie of the team with Ohio Saturday was held insufficient grounds for returning to "normalcy.” The no-shave club has a membership of several hundred. Co-eds later decided to shun cosmetics pending a gridiron victory. Two sororities. Kappa Alpha Theta and Delta Gamma, are also eschewing dates until the team wins. o BIG TEN STANDINGS W. L. T.

Oct. 28 —(UP) — No hope was held today fcr the recovery of Senator Theodore E. Burton, Ohio who has been seriously ill at his home here for the past seevrrl weeks. The veteian Republican leader suffered a complete relaps.; late yesterday and attending physicians said his death was only a matter of time. He has been in poor health for the past year and lacked the strength to combat successfully an attack of influenza he suffered about a month ago.

Jefferson always has a good team by mid-season —but because of lack of faciitiee, the Jeff aggregation usually starts slow. —oOo— It certainly would be a move in the right direction if Jefferson township officials would start a campaign to build a gymnasium at Jefferson high school. It's the only high school in a radius of many miles around the southeast end of the county—A lot of great big boys play basketball out there —and Coach Olen Marsh is a hard worker — The school certainly is deserving of the best of modern facilities. —oOo — Geneva Cardinals are going ito cause a lot of teams a lot of trouble this season —They had things their own way in thier scrap with Kirkland last Friday night, until the closing minutes of the game—when McKean, of Kirkland sank goal after goal for about five minutes. —oOo— Berne reports another good net team. And when the Bears have a good net team, they really have one. Coach Sonny Johnson, who learned his basketbal down at Monrovia under Herb Curtis, is already pointing his quintet for the 1930 district! tourney. — 000— And now Mr. Curtis its up to you to take up the battle where it left off last Friday and all during the basketball season you'll hear those magic words BEAT BLUFFTON. But since Bluffton hasn't been so good in basketball the last several years there are other teams we'd better point for—Decatur usually has a hard tussel with Auburn, Kendallvllle and all three Fort Wayne teams. —oOo— Say, Yellow Jackets, before we get very excited over the basketball season, let's think a little about that Garrett football game next Saturday. Decatur high school girls’ basketball team is practicing for a 12-game schedule to be played this year—and indications are that the local ladies will have a real team thjs year. A week from today Coach Curtis will issue a cal! for al basketbal players —so far he's been drilling only those who are not on the football team. —oOo— Prospects are good for a good net team—season tickets will go on sale soon. — oOo — Decatur Catholic high school Commodores aready are practicing daily for a hard schedule —■

Bingham asserted one member of the investigating committee had himself used a capitol policeman in the I government employ to drive him to his home in the mid west last sum- j mer, and argued therefore the committee itself was not without blame in using government employes for private purposes. "I cou’d not help wondering how •hat particular senator could maintain such a high moral tone when it' Is a matter of current report that he •ook a capitol policeman and used him ■is a private chauffeur to drive him home at government expense last ■ summer.” Bingham said. Senator Blaine. Repn.. Wis., a mem-' her of the committee, then demanded that he name the senator to whom he wa- referring, declaring he had cast a reflection on every member of the senate. “I insist that he be named,” Blaine sa'd. “It was the senator from Wisconsin.” Bingham replied. “I will answer that in turn,” Blaine said. Later he denied the charge and said Bingham’s accusation was “A smoke (screen against a slimy, dirty trail mapped out designed!/ from the office of the senator from Connecticut to the office of the Connecticut Manufacturers association.” Bingham claimed he had been tricked by the investigating committee. He said the report presented to the senate by the committee citing the evidence of his case was a fair statement of facts but he was taken l.y surprise when Chairman Caraway of the committee "made a speech attacking me personally, and the Connecticut Manufacturers association, torturing and twisting the evidence by implication and making several , misstatements which were coirzcted I a few moments later.” The Connecticut senator accused . the committee of employing polish Night Coughing Quickly Relieved Famous Prescription Gives Almost Instant Relief Night coughs, or coughs caused by a cold or by an irritated tthroat are • usually due to causes which cough ‘ syrups and patent medicines do not 1 touch.

| court ijiethods in attempting to throw n slur on him. > Referring to (He preslstmlnence of Independent Republican ami Democratic senators on the committee, (Bingham said: •I might have expected that n committee set up as this one would , do such a thing. It was utterly incomprehensible to me. however, that a suh-commlttee of the senate judiciary committee would conduct Itself in the ’ manner in which ft did. "I did not suppose there was so much unfairness among senators and I did not think that for political purposes they would seek to damage a New England senator and an administration supporter." ) Bingham criticized Chairman Norris of the judiciary committee for the iappointments he made to the investigating subcommittee. "The chairman of the judiciary committee," Bingham said. "is the only committee chairman who in the la-t campaign denounced the Republican candidate und did his best to elect the Democratic candidate. I ihave wandered how he could maintain his willingness to be chairman of the ■ committee." Bingham asserted the membership ■»f the committee was "framed" igainst any "administration senator jor administration interest.” The membership of the committee, he pointed out. includes seven Democrats. seven Republicans, and three anti-administration Republicans. “It would have been supposed that a subcommittee of five would have i included two Democrats, two regular i Republicans, and one anti-adminis-tration Republican. In view of its make tip I am not surprised to observe ■how the committee acted.” he said, i Bingham charged the committee ! with being “far more interested in damaging the reputation of a senator, ■ far more interested in politics, and far more interested in making it diffi- | cult for New England industries to secure adequate protection than it w?f>s in investigating lobbyists.” Bingham denied that Eyanson was a lobbyist. “In the ordinary sense of the word ■ Eyanson was not a lobbyist," he sa'd. "There is no evidence of his approach!ng any senator improperly or in re•rard to any rates except myself who had invited him to assist me", Tlie attitude of the committee. Bingham charged, was "Yon are ! damned if you do and you're damned if you don't but we are going to get you.” o Anderson. —Fatal injuries were ini tlicted upon Verna Bertram. 4, Indian- ; apolis, in an automobile accident near; Xnderson Saturday afternoon.

Indications that the actions of the b’oc putting the debenture farm relief plan on the, tariff bill, eliminating the flexible provisions and severely cutting tlie proposed Industrial increases — had aroused ill-feeling came first from the farm bloc members several days ««!O it was reported Sen. George W. Norrie, Repn., Neb., who‘supported the democratic presidential nominee in the last campaign and who has opposed the tariff bill, had been inform*d by hie friends that he was marked for serious opposition. The friends claimed former Gov. Samuel D.
