Coach Horton said that he had not definitely decided who would. | start the game but indicated that' Odle Deßolt. Brown, and Steeie ] would work the backfield at the I ‘■tart and prorably the line would be | Schnepp or Melchi and Coffee or Snedeker ends; Zerkle and Parrish. Tackles; Hurst and Ford or Musser guards; E. Musser, center. It is thought Coach Horton will | substitute freely during the tilt. I Whether the Jackets will attempt an offensive rush at the opening is not known, but Coach Horton has taught the squad several new offensive plays for use some time during the game. > 111 ** i * ' i\\ -■'-Hl— I Tomorrow opens the Decatur hem: football season.

Few outside teams ever get a break when playing a Central team at h-me —but it looks like Bluffton, breaks or no breaks.

, ATHLETICS AND 1 CARDINALS ARE ON WAY WEST f Play Saturday at St. Louis; Do pesters Pick Athletics Ry Frank Getty. UP Sports Editor. Enroute to St. Louis, Oct. 3. — (U.R) — Having won the first two games of the 1930 world series with as fine an economy of hitting as any October classic ever has known (he Philadelphia Athletics were traveling to St. Louis today, bent ' upon polishing off the Cardinals in ’ short order. The St. Louis club, smarting tin ' der two straight defeats, also was headed westward with far different intentions. Winning yesterday's game six to one behind the brilliant pitching of George Earnshaw, the Mackmen took a lead over their National league rivals which virtually assured them of their fifth world's championship. Once more, it was extra base hitting which won for Philadelphia. Dykes, Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx driving out the telling blows in the early innings off the delivery >t Flint Rhem. Thus far in the 1930 series the Athletics have made but 12 hits, and have made them count for 12 runs. In the opening game, which they won 5 to 2 the Athletics made each hit count for a run. Yesterday, they appeared to be slipping and scored only six timea on seven safeties off Rhem. The Athletics have established a new world series record for extra base hitting in the first two games. Their 12 hits have been for 29 bases. This sort of hitting has given the Mackmen just the punch they needed to bring down the Red Birds on the wing. Given the fair sort of pitching which "Lefty’’ Grove turned in on the opening day, and the brilliant performance of big George Earnshaw, yesterday, the Athletics have looked mighty good without having to exert themselves to the limt. They have not yet been called up for the spectacular rallies which won them the world’s championship a year ago. One smashing wallop, one run. tighten up the defense and away to victory has been the highly sue-1 cesst’ul system of the American league representatives this October. The Athletics’ first line of defense. from Foxx around the bases to plucky Jimmy Dykes, looks bet ter this year than last, and the | critics were saying that this would be the wt-ak point in Philadelphia's Jforts to retain the world’s championship. Dykes at third has turn--?d in some sparkling fielding plays. So have Boley and Bishop. The Mackmen’s third baseman choked off the last semblance of St. Louis aggressiveness yesterday by snagging Frankie Frisch’s line drive as it whistled past his ear in he eighth inning and shooting the ball to first to double Sparky Adorns. Fiankie Frisch's double in the first was his 43rd hit in world series games, setting a new record. Speculation aboard the special trains moving westward to St. Louis concerned the pitching selections for the Athletics in the forthcoming games at Sportsman’s park. Connie Mack may try Rube Wai berg in the third game, or he maj shoot right back with ’’Lefty’ Grove and follow with Earnshaw it an effort to end the series in sou. games. In any event another rou of the National league represents tives certainly seems in order. Both teams put on a ragged ex hibltion in the third inning of the 1 second game, but with this difference that while the ball was being tossed about by everyone con cetned, the Athletics scored twice in their half and the Cardinals couldn’t get a man past third base, r George Earnshaw did some fipe flinging on his own behalf in this rather muddled session, when his mates seemed bent upon tossing away a run or two. He struck out Jim Bottomley and Chick Hafey after both these heavy hitters bad been given life by Philadelphia misplays. When the 1930 series finally is analyzed, it will appear that Earnshaw, on his performance yesterday, must be given a prominent niche in any post season hall of ifame, for the big right hander hurled a magnificent game. , He struck out eight men, allowed six hits, and was always there in a pinch. Jn covering first base on a close play in the sixth inning, George was spiked in the heel by Watkins, St. Louis right fielder, ; but he limped to the box and stood the Cardinal batsmen on their heads, thereaftei. Mickey Cochrane bids fare to be the hitting hero of the series. His home run yesterdaj* in the first inning was his second in two successive times at ’>at, since he had

coluted the ball out of the park on his last trip to the plate on Wednesday. George Watkins, who plays for St. Louis when a righthander la working for the opposition, drove lout a home run to score St. Louis' ' lone run yesterday In the second ' Inning. —— o ——— Cubs, Sox Are Even Chicago, Oct. 3. —(U.R)—Red Fab«r, veteran White Sox spit-ball pitcher, and Bud Teachout, rookie Cubs southpaw, were named today as pitchers for the thlid game of the Chicago city se’ies as the rival clubs moved to Wrigley field for three games. The Cubs evened the series at nne game each yesterday, defeating the Sox, 4 to 2. and are con- 1 fident of winning three straight on their home diamond. If neither team has won four games when th? three-day stay at Wrigley field is completed, the clubs will return to Cotniskey park to complete the seres. Sheriff Blake and Kiki Cuyler shared honors in the Cubs triumph. Blake held the Sox to five hits, and Cuyler’s home run with two mates on base in the eighth decided the contest. ——-o — World Series Figures ial figures on the second game of the world series bet we' n foe Philadelphia Athlitics and the St. Louis Cardinals follow: Attendance—32.29s.

BIG TIME GRID SCHEDULESTO GETUNDEMAY College Teams Start 1930 Seasons in All Parts of Nation Chicago, Oct. 3.—<U.R> —"Big time” football will make its 1930 debut in the middlewest tomorrow, with the opening of the Big Ten conference season and the playing of four (important intersectional games. The featured games include: Indiana vs. Ohio State, at’Columbus. Ohio. Southern Methodist University vs. Notre Dame, at South Bend, Ind. Tulane vs. Northwestern, at Evanston. 111. Vanderbilt vs. Minnesota, at Miu- | neapolis, Minn. Baylor vs. Purdue, at Lafayette, I Ind. Chief interest is centered in th meeting of Notre Dame, 1929 national champion, and Southern; Methodist, 1929 southwest conference winner. Neither team lias been defeated since 1928 and both will lie p.lined for victory. Notre Dame enters the game as favorite, chiefly because of Knute Itockne's cocahing wizardry, but a 4. M. U. victory would not be par--1 ticularly surprsing. Coach Ray Morrison boasts a formidable bag of tricks of ids own and memory of S. M. U.'s success in passing the Army dizzy in 1928 has inspired Notre Dame witli a wholesome respect of the Texan’s pass offensive. While the Ohio State-Indiana tilt marks the start of Big Ten com- , petition, the game is overshadowed Iby the intersectional games. Ohio I State is regarded as the "dark ; horse" of the confer 1 nee and specu(lation on Saturday's game is con-' I cerned chiefly with the size of the l score the Buckeyes will make. i I The three interssctfonal games

Both teams are composed of veteran stars, re- I Inforced by stellar sophomore ma- I tei lai. and are at a high stage of ,i development for so early in th«* i season. Vanderbilt, another of the south’s i strongest teams, presents a serious I obstacle for Minnesota, which is absorbing the new coaching tactics of Fritz Crisli r and Tad Weiman. The Gophers have tine material, but have had little time to adapt their new tactics and may find Vanderbilt too strong an opponent

The Boilermakers, like Minnesota, will be making their first start under a new coach and will need all their strength to win.
