Franklin Golf Cud Goes To Rev. S.P. At Berea, Ohil

ALL-MINISTER GOLF TOURNEY IN ONE FAMILY Local Methodist Minister Relinquishes Cup To Ohio Brother The four Eranklin brothers, jrolfinjr ministers i which Rev. B. FI. Eranklin, pastor of the Methodist church here is a member, have decided, at least for 1930 that Rev. Dr. S. P. Eranklin, professor of Religious Education at Bald-win-Wall.oce college, Berea, Ohio, is the best golfer of the four. The decision was reat'.ted after the four brothers engaged In their annual all Franklin golf tourney of I 216 holes at the famous Tippecanoe Lake golf course. The match this year was a battle ami the winner wag furred to shoot the course in par the last three times to carry me silvpi loving cup away from R v. 11. H. of this city who won the cup in 1929 after 360 holes of match play. The local Rev. Franklin, after reee.ving final compilations of the totals, which are figured on a handicap basis, surrendered for the year and turned his cup over to brother S. P. The Franklin golf tourney is an annual event. It started four years ago, when after a few friendly matches the four brothers decided they could all sleep better during the winter months if they knew who was best. In 1929 Rev. E. E. Franklin of Upland presented a loving cup to the group and Rev. Hen went right out and won the cup the first year. So the Decatur minister’s name is engraved at the top of the cup. Handicaps for the 1931 tourney were figured on the 1930 scores and are as follows: S. P., 73; E. E„ 77; B. H , 85, and E. T. 85. The order of hand'caps is also the order of finish for the 1930 title. The four men all are ministers of the Methodist Episcopal church. They hail from a Kentucky farm, where their father, 80, and mother, 75, still reside. Four other brothers and a sister compose the Franklin family, whose ancestry can be traced back to four great-grand-fathers, all fightiwr in the Revolutionary war. The other four brothers, however, are excluded from the golf tourney, because they are not minisle s. The Franklins decided, following the completion of the 1930 tourney that the 1931 match will be played at Tippecanoe and will run for six days, 36-holes a day. The tourney is played each year during which time all four men arrange to take their vacations. While all the contenders maintain that th a tourney has been cut from 10 days to six days because of the strain, the women folks sort of smle and say, “Maybe so.’’

AMERICAN TWO RACES AHEAD Newport, R. L, Sept. 16 —<U.R) — Harold S. Vanderbilt and his yacht Enterprise have won two races for the honor of American seamanship agatast Sir Thomas Lipton's Shanrock V., and in so doing they base taken about half of the thrill out of the series for the America’s cup. Today the two yachts are scheduled to meet in another race over the course of 15 miles to windward from a point nine miles southeast of Brenton’s reef and return. But around the harbor there was a ruling that the series was about over. Most of the confidence and the feeling that the series was won, however, was confined to spectators. Afterguard and crew of neither ship reflected that attltnde - iTIB 666 Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia In 30 minutes, checks a Cold the first day, and checks Malaria !r three days. 666 also in Tablets.

“Shamrock Is a fast boat ami we are having great sport," was Vanderbilt s comment. “I look for more of it". “We have been out pointed," Charles Nicholson, designer lof the Shamrock, "but we haven’t been knocked out." Only the 80-year-old Sir Thomae Lipton seemed down hearted, "I’m terribly disappointed," he admitted. "There must be some thing terribly wrong with Sham•ock, as she did much better In her trials.” Observers, however, attributed the American superiority demonstrated in the two races so far held, entirely to the seamanship of Vanderbilt and his men, and the skill pf Sterling Burgess, designer of the Enterprise. In yesterday's race the Americans outsailed the challengers throughout. The margin of victory was 9 minutes and 33 seconds. Enterprise needs but two more victories to retain the America's cup. I.H.S.A.A. PLANS LIVELY MEET Indianapolis, Sept. 16 — (UP) — Preparations underway for the an nuai legislative meeting of the Indiana state high school athletic association, October 15, resemble preparations for a national party political convention. Hectic rivalry between the large and small schools is apparent. An issue that has prevailed in the organization for years that of proratitig the voting power of the schools according to enrollment — now is the subject of discussion. It will come up at the October meeting. JiFincipals and men representing large schools say that Henry J. Reid, Monticello, and Floyd I. McMurray, Thorntown, present members of the board of control ate both county superitendents and represent small county schools. H. H. Mourer who was elected to the board -while principal at Greenfield. recently took over the principalship of the Bedford high school. It is expected that he will be succeeded by Lee Baird, Delaware county superintendent, making another member representing a small school. It has beep suggested that a proposal be submitted to the October meeting limiting membership on the board of control to principals of high schools only. This met with two answers. One was that if a man representing a large school offered such a proposal it would be killed quickly by the overwhelming vote of the small school, A sma'l school man was asked if he would introduce the proposal and he re taliated that to do such a thing would mean that he would be run out ot town. A bulletin issued by the I. 11. S A. A. recently stated that a committee composed of Charles Zimmerman, Terre Haute, Harlie Garver, Union City and Floyd McMurray of Thorntown, will offer a proposal to the legislative body for approval that would classify schools as follows: Schools with enrollments up to 75 would be in class one; enrollments between 76 and 350 in class two, and above 351 in cla-s three. The five district arrangement, as now used by the I. H. S. A. A. would remain in effect and every year the district would elect a representative from one of the classes to the board of control. This board has five members and controls the destinies ot the 1. H. S. A. A. For the next two years, under the plan, some of the present members would be retained in order to get the vote ratiting properly but by 1933 the class plan would govern the board. In that year, there would be two class one members, two class two members and only one class three member.

Several men representing the large schools brought this plan up for discussion. It was explained that in each of the five districts, every school would be allowed to vote, but the man who ran for office must come from the class of school corresponding to the vacancy to be filled on the board. Larger school men, who have been fighting the control, held in the I. H. S. A. A. by the small school majority for years, have called the attention to the tact that the new propsal and class arrangement does not help this trouble. They say there will never be more than two members on the board, representative of the large school class and these two would be voted helpless with the other three members from class one and two, the small schools. The large school men prefer a I voting arrangement thereby the 'schools vole according to the enrollments of the school, say one vote for every 100 pupils. i -O NOTICE TO PATRONS I am back at my office and regular office hours yvill be observed.

PURDUE GRID TEAMAPPEARS IN GOOD SHAPE Losses Counteracted By Sophomore Material In Line And Backfield Editor’s note: Following is the first of a series of eleven daily articles dealing with Big Ten conference football prospects. Each of the conference schools will be discussed separately with the final article, Sept. 27, including a consensus prediction by the middle west's leading sports writers on the rating of each team at the close of the season. Tomorrow's article will discuss the University of Chicago. By Dixon Stewart, UP. Staff Correspondent Chicago, Sept. 16 — (U.R) — Allhough loss ot two all-Americans, I an all-western and three regular ends might cause a lot of coaches to break down in tears. Noble Kizer, Purdue’s new head football coach, is wasting no time in sobbing and is devoting all his energies to develop'ng a competent eleven for the -Boilermakers' title defense. Purdue takes its title defense seriously. While such men as Pest Welch. Glen Harmeson, Elmer Sleight, Bill Mackie, Woerner and Caraway, all of whom were lost by graduation, do not crop up on every football tree, Kizer and his assistants. Mai Edward. Earl Martineau and Christy Flanagan, already have started grafting some sturdy shoots that give promise of branching out and blossoming along with the remains of the 1329 squad. Despite the loss of six outstandng stars, an inventory of Purdue stock shows that the Boilermakers have available 21 major lettermen, six minor lettermen, and a husky group of promising sophomores. Two veteran backfield men —Alex I unevich, fullback, and Jack White, quarterback — probably will be permanent fixtures in the rebuilt backfield. The fight for halfback berths is an open battle between Ed Risk, Jim Purvis, Lewis Pope and Howard Kissell, a quartet of shifty lettermen ball carriers, with sophomore candidates having little prospect of breaking into the lineup. > If quantity and quality of the lettermen available means anything Kizer should have few worries over the center of his line. Lewis Miller and Lester Sherbeck. who divided the time at center last year, are back with Oehler and Westerman, a sturdy pair of sophomores furnishing competition. Five lettei men and one minor letterman—George Tears. Horace Buttner, Don Trimble, Jack Christman. Sam Voidoff and Don Fassler are competing for guard positions. Loss of Sleight. all-American tackle, is tempered by the fact that George Vanbibber is back in his old stand at left tackle. Richard Chubb, and Eugene Boswell, both lettermen and John Husar, Clair Helmer and Edward Ungers, soph om ires, look like the best ot the other tackle possibilities. Paul Calvert and Ed Moon are the only surviving ends from the 1929 team. Purdue’s complete schedule is: Oct. 4.—Baylor at Purdue. Oct. 11 —Purdue at Michigan. Oct. 18—Purdue at lowa. Oct. 15 — Wisconsin at Purdue (homecoming). Nov. I—Purdue at Illinois. Nov. B—Purdue8 —Purdue at Chicago. Nov. 15—Butler at Purdue. Nov. 22 —Indiana at Purdue.

INDIANA GRID TEAM IN DRILL Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 16 —The opening whistle on the Rig Ten football practice fields here this afternoon found Coach Pat Page starting another season with a scarcity of veteran men but a large num ber of promising newcomers. The practice consisted of limb, ring up work and running through various formations that are to be used during the coming campaign. In commenting on the prospects for a winning combination this fall Coach Rage said: “The material is the lightest in years but I expect the team to show up well. Although the team did not < heck up well on paper Last year the members of the squad were playing some of tne nest elevens in the country ana should be complimented for their spirit." Lettermen who have returned to bolster the backfield are quite to Page's liking. Os the group he has Charles Brubaker, of Fort Wayne, who he named as the best quarterback Indiana has had for the past .our years. With this hard working back again calling signals Coach Page believes the team will have a capable general. At Halfback Geo. Ross, of Wabash, outstanding open field runner last year, will be galloping through his final vear of col lege competition. Another varsity half who is expected to have a hand n Indiana's offensive play is Vic Dauer, of Gary, a junior this seasoi. At the fullback post,, the Indiana mentor has Ed Hughes, of Gary, who was out part ot the 1929 campaign with injuries. The kicking department is expected to come under the direction of this performer. Although the line was hard hit by graduation this spring Coach Page believes the incoming youngiters from the reserve and freshman squads will be able to fill the gaps in a capable manner. Jack Hansen, of River Forest, 111., at a wing position, Paul Jasper, of Fort Wayne, at tackle and Joe Zeller ot Each Chicago, at guard, are lettermen who will be the main cogs in Jie defense along with the new men Bernard Dickey, of Fort Wayne, an incoming sophomore, is expected to fill the other end position with Wm. Blakrave of Washington, a junior, keeping on his heels. A' ■enter Ben Mankowski, of Detroit Mich., a reserve last vear; Neal Baxter of Bluffton, another reserve and Wm. Spannuth, of Newcastle, are candidates. o

Mis mi®. ~ z w - 1 ■ Every day the weather is more like football—and these recent rains will help the gridirons a lot. Coach Horton didn’t give the Yellow Jackets much rest after the Auburn game Saturday—The squad is right at it in preparation for the South Side game next Saturday. —oOo—- — long hard drill on offensive and on forward pass defense is on the Decatur menu this week. As far as an opponent playing straight football against the Yellow Jackets — there isn't much to fear. Last year, 27 Purdue football players received letters. Six of the lettermen did not return and all Noble Kizer, head coach, has

to do Is organize a football team out of a nucleus containing 21 lettermen. From the looks of things, 01' Purdue will be right up among the leaders again this season. The Gold and Black team will see its first action October 4 in a game with Baylor University at Lafayette. —oOp — Last year Purdue opened the season with Kansas Aggies and sent the Aggies home on the short end of a 26-14 count. —oOo — Indiana opens its season September 27 with Miami college of Oxford, Ohio, furnishing the opposition. —oOo — Notre Dame meets Southern Methodist at South Bend on October 4, in th? Irish op ner —Rumors from South Bend reveal that Notre Dame will have another Notre Dame football team this year. A few college grid teams get staited next Saturday, but there aren't any important games. Most high school grid teams, that already haven't gotten underway with the 1930 season swing into action next Friday and Saturday. Night football seems to be gaining in Indiana high school grid circles. —oOo— It is rumored that several Decatur athletes are. contemplating entering Michigan State college this fall — No authoritative information however has been obtained. More athletes from the two local high schools have decided to enter colleges .his fall titan ever before —Which goes to show that the efforts of Loth athletic departments are beginning to bear fruit. Principal O. R. Bangs, principal of Biuffton high school has be-n re-elected president of the N. E. 1., high school conference —That job is a tough one and was wonderfully handled by the Suburb teacher last year. —oOo— Every now and then some basketbal coach from one of the county high schools drops in, and it certainly locks like 1930 w.-s going to be a bas etball year. —oOo—

Principal W. Guy Brown, whose nost important job, in Footbawls ipin <>n, is running athletics is not a newcomer to Decatur athletic circles —Brown has long been the ticket guard at the main entrance to the gymnasium and always has had a keen interest in athletics. —oOo — Decatur, beat South Side. o John, The Barber Dies New York Sept. 16 —(UP)—John the barber, who for 30 years had scraped some of th© best-known chins on Broadway and was one of the famous Thoroughfare's most colorful figures is dead.

CARAWAYWILL CO ACH PURDUE FROSH SQUAD Famous Grid Player Is Signed to Return to His Own School Lafayette, In L, Sept. 16—(UP) Purdue's freshman football coacting staff was completed ’oday with the announcement that Elbert "Eu" Caraway, star fullback ind end on Boilermaker elevens of the past three years, has been signed as assistant freshman coach. Caraway, one of the most versatile athletes in Purdue's history, joins Guy Mai - key and Harvey Olson, former Purdue siars, as assistants ,o Glen liarmeson, new head coach, to give the Boilermaker.- an All Purdue yearling staff. The selection of Caraway as as sistant gives Harmeson a man who understands both back field ami line play thoroughly. For his first two years, Caraway held down the ullhack post on Boilermaker eleens, bu: a scarcity of ends last sea on, and Caraway's natural footbull ability, led to a last minute shitt hat put him out at one of the wings where he earned recognition as one of the outstanding ends of the mid-

lie west. An unfortunate injury in the Chicago game brought his career to an end, for he was seemingy headed tor All-Conference honors ip to the time of the accident. Caraway's ver atility should stand him in good stead as a coach, or during his playing career his ■very act was characterized by his adaptability to conditions. As a backfield man. Caraway was a speedy ball-carrier, unusual blocker ami dependable place-kicker, while lis last sea on of play found him vith few equals on defensive end day, and his ball carrying ability enabled him to pull off some of the longest runs of the season on ■nd-around plays. Caraway, who was captain of the 1929 baseball team, and led the Big Ten in hitting in 1928 with the remarkable average of .556, has >een playing baseball during the ■j st summer with Shawnee, Okla .here he had an excellent season, ind has reported for duty in excellent condition. BIG TEN TEAMS BEGIN DRILLS Chicago. Sept. 16-(UP) —Openng of the middle western football nractice season today vied with the "rbulent National league baseball race and the America’s cup yacht "ompetition for the attention of sport followers. A number of small schools steady have inaugurated the practice season, hut Big Ten confer nee rules prohibit members from starting practice until Sept. 15. Most of the major schools, includ Ing Notre Dame, abide by western conference regulations and Sept '5 generally is regarded as the ' ffici.il” opening of the football season. *

Notre Dame and the Big Ten con ■' renee share the interest ot “corn h-lt” football followers. The Irish ■ ehool, always a strong contender for national honors, has its usual ’inbitious schedule this season and ’■•n lie counted upon to furnish its (hare of the “color" for the 1930 season. Notre Dame is scheduled to play Southern Methodst, Navy, Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Indiana, P' nnsylvania, Drake. Northwestern, Army, and Southern California, witli all the games except Pitt, Penn and Southern California to be played in the middlewest. Although league competition is he primary object of the Big Ten, ■onfernce schools haW> booked an unusually large number of intersectional clashes and the "off day” games against outside foes promise •o furnish spectacular entertainment. Some of the nation’s strongest teams — Notre Dame, Stanford, Army, Navy, Pitt, Vanderbilt, Harvard, Princeton, Penn, and Tulane —are included among the Big Ten’s intersectional rivals. The Big Ten title race will be mat red by the virtual exclusion of Towa. Th° Hawkeyes were able to secure only one conference opponent —Purdue —after being reinstated i.i the conference and the “Big Ten’ this season will be in reality big nine.’’ Graduation of the outstanding players of the 1929 season brought r general readjustment of strength and at present there appears to be no real outstanding team in the conference. Nothwestern, Michigan and Purdue are being touted as pre season championship favorites, but Illinois, Wisconsin. Ohio, and Minnesota also entertain hopes ot taking the honors. lowa, Indiana

ami Chicago have little chance of winning. Two schools, Purdue and Minnesota, had new head coaches on the job as practice opened today Noble Kizer, assistant at Purdue
