i MICHIGAN AND BOILERMAKERS TOP BIG TEN i Unexpected Opposition Holds Score Down To Less Than Forecast Chicago. Oct. 12.—(U.R) Michigan and Purdue top the Big Ten after the first two conference games of the 1931 season. Although they met unexpected opposition, the Wolverines capitalized a fumble and blocked a punt to defeat Chi cago, 13-7. Purdue found a new sophomore star in Fred Becker, halfback from Houston. Texas, as the Boilermakers won from Illinois, 7-0. Northwestern, favored along with Michigan and Purdue for the title, played a scoreless tie with Notre Dame. In four intersectional games the Big Ten representatives lost three and tied one. A 95-yard run by Joe Linfor enabled Wisconsin to get a ' 7-7 tie with Auburn. Stanford stag- ' ed a last-period drive to score two touchdowns and defeat Minnesota. 13-0. The Texas Aggies swamped ■ lowa, 29-0. Ohio State outgained : Vanderbilt but, lost, 26-21. Because mistakes gave the southerners a four touchdown lead which the Buckeyes couldn't overcome 1 with a last half rally.

O— — , WILDCAT-IRISH GAME REHASHED Chicago, Oct. 12. —(U.R) —The aftermath of the Notre Dame-North-western scoreless tie in the rain 1 and mud at Soldier Field has start- 1 ed agitation for a return game for ' charity at the close of the season. Atrocious weather conditions in ’ Chicago's big lake front stadium Saturday did not prevent Notre Dame and Northwestern from dem onstrating that they again have powerful football teams. While many of the 75,000 who sat through the rain for 2*4 hours felt that it would have been an injustice for either team to have lost after their courageous play, the majority wondered at the same time what would have been the result if they met on a dry field. Both teams showed enough strength to make it unlikely that defeat will overtake either of them this season barring, of course, injuries to some of their stars. North western's biggest hurdles will be Ohio State, Illinois and Minnesota, all beaten Saturday, and the Wildcats look equal to the task of winning from this trio. Notre Dame's toughest foes appear to be Pittsburgh, Southern California and Army, with the latter two games coming the last two Saturdays in November. If Northwestern and Notre Dame coming through the rest of their schedules undefeated, they would draw a crowd of 120,000 for a return battle at Sbldier Field. The | Big Ten already has given each team permission to play one postseason game for charity, but stip- ' ulated that it must be against another conference team and not later than November 28. Notre 'Dame plays Army November 28, so I the Irish would not be available’ , for a post-season game until De-

comber 5. Although Notre Dame outgained Northwestern from scrimmage 132 jardw to 91 and made four first downs to the Wildcats' three, the I Urple had the most scoring opportunities. Fumbles in the second period almost sent Notre Dame reeling to defeat for the first time since 1928. After recovering a fumble on the 25-yard line, Northwestern drove to the 4-yard line and only failed to make first down by inches. On another occasion a Northwestern pass over the line failed. Notre Dame never was closer than 18 yards to Northwestern’s goal, but twice in the final period the Irish threw a scare into the ildcats. They staged a 22-yard drive from mid field —the longest march of the game—and were haltid by a fumble. A blocked punt in the last 7 minutes of play gave the Irish another chance but fierce tackling by Northwestern stopped them cold. There seems to be little doubt but that Notre Dame and Northwestern have two of the greatest lines in the country. Notre Dame's line seems the equal at least of I1 last year's forward wall. Ed Krause, a sophomore tackle, stood out as ' the greatest player in the Irish line Saturday. For Northwestern Jack Riley. 220-pound left tackle, played a spectacular, smashing game. On their form Saturday Riley and Krause looked like all-Americans. Twice Riley covered Notre Dame fumbles, and throughout the battle 1 he followed the ball like a hawk. The backfield stars were Ollie Olson. Northwestern's platinum blonde fullback, and Marchy Schwartz. Notre Dame left halfback. The punting of a water-log- : ged ball by Schwartz and Olson ■ was miraculous. Five times Schwaitz had to punt from behind ® his goal-line and once he got off a * kick that rolled 72 yards. Olson s ! kicks, even with one blocked, av- . eraged 36 7-10 yards. They also were the leading ground gainers. Schwartz with 56 yards in all attempts and Olson with 45 in 19 J tries. ! PRIMO-SHARKEY FIGHT TONIGHT • I New York. Oct. 12.—(U.R)—Weather permitting and principals will ’ ing. the boxing bout which Jimmy 1 Johnston has facetiously advertis- 1 ed as "the fight of the century" will be inflicted upon a long suffering but suspicious public at Ebbets ' Field. Brooklyn, tonight. The "fight of the ctnury" in reality. is nothing more important than 1 a scheduled 15-round contest between JaJck Sharkey, portly Boston square who has failed in his everjg. important ring test, and Primo Camera, 260-pound Italian circus freak who has yet to meet 1 a major opponent. If the reports from Promoter I Johnston's prolific publicity depart- I ment are accepted at face value. ’ the fight is certain to provide a ■ $250,000 crowd with thrills to make 1 the Dempsey-Firpo "battle of the 1 ages" appear no more exciting than 1 the regular Tuesday afternoon meeting of the Mudville Corners ; Whittling club. 1 Both the $250,000 crowd and the 1 “cyclonic, breath taking, soul stirr- '• ing action" however, seem likely tojl prove nothing more than a press 1 agent's dream. When the match I was first made for Chicago a year 1 ago it was believed certain to at- I tract a $600,000 gate. Sharkey, a 1 6 to 1 favorite, “ran out" at that 1 time. The courts prevented the 1 contest when Johnston booked it in 1 June and when it still looked like a $300,000 attraction. The unsavory rumors occasioned 1 by Sharkey's refusal to go through 1 with the contest on Oct. 1, even 1 through X-rays of his alleged little 1 finger injury revealed nothing more 1 important than an imperfect job I of manicuring, and Jack’s miser able showing against Mickey Walk- 1 er have ruined the contest as a gate attraction. Promoter John ston claims to have a $50,000 ad vauce sale and talks of a $200,000 over-the-counter rush today. If the fight grosses more than SIOO,OOO ' even Johnston will lie surprised. Sharkey is uqoted as a 6 to 5 favorite to win wilh less wagering on the result than in any heavyweight bout of recent years. Sharkey a'Tierentr. and form players are loath to risk actual money In view of the Bostonian's previous erratic performances, the suspicion that Sharkey is "all washed up" and ready to retire, and because of the conviction that the clique of Broadway mobsmen interested in Camera would not risk their "million dollar prospect" against Sharkey without positive assurance of victory.

Battle to Scoreless Tie '"•■*** ■ Jjjy ■T Notre Dam< and Northwestern's Wildcats battled to e scoreless tie on a rain-soaked field before a crowd of about 75,000. Frequent fumbles and much punting marked the game, as both elevens tried in vain to do anything remarkable with the loggy, slipp wy ball. Marchmont Schwartz. Notre Dame allAmerican halfback, is shown stopped cold by the powerful Wildcat line.

PANTHERS TAME HORTONMEN ON FIELD OF MUD Portland Takes Advantage Os Decatur Penalties In 19-0 Win The Portland Panthers sloughed through a sea of mud to a 19-0 win over the Yellow -Jackets in the football game played at Portland Saturday afternoon. The only spectacular feature of Decatur’s playing was Conrad’s tackle to stop a sure touchdown as the final gun went off. j Decatur showed a great improve- i ment over last week in the North Side game. Especially were the Jackets able to break through the i line to get their men. However, the i

great number of penalties stopped I most of their drives in mid-field. The team also was hindered by the ’ poor condition of the field which was full of mud holes. bitterer Was the only man who seemed able, to cover ground effectively. Although both teams were handicapped by injuries, Decatur's cup of grief was over flowing with practically the whole hack field and part of the line suffering from sprains and bruises. None were out of the game on this account, but they were slowed-up. Bags,■ who scored the Panthers’ only touchdown last year, was out of the game, having been injured in the Pbrtland-Auburn game. Both teams relied chiefly on foreward passes and hard line drives. Two of Portland's three touchdowns came via the foreward pass route. Decatur seemed able to hold them in every other department of the game. Decatur showed the results of good coaching with a good knowledge of the game but lacked only that final punch which makes the difference between touchdowns and gains. The game started off slow with) short line plunges and punts on , the second and third downs. With, about half of the first quarter done. I a thirty-yard pass of Money's to Puckett put Portland in a position to score. A few minutes later Bergman passed to Coulson for the touchdown. An attempt at a line I plunge failed to score the point as ' ter touchdown and left the score. 6-0 in Portland's favor. The quarter ended with the line of scrim-1 mage near center field. Second Quarter The second quarter opened with i some fancy fumbling by both, teams. For the next five or six' minutes the ball was punted back, and forth with Decatur generally I coming out on the short end of the I gains. After working the hall down ■ in Decatur's territory, Portland scored a touchdown on a pass from 1 Money to Coulson. Again they 1 muffed their attempt at point as-1 ter touchdown. Decatur staged a . rally at this stage of the game with some pretty running by bitterer, Saunders, and Buffenbarger but the half ended their hopes. Second Half The second halt started with both coachs running in substitutions. Decatur rallied after a spectacular recovery of a fumble, but a few minutes later the Jackets! lost the ball on another fumble. I Thereafter the game resolved its-, self into a punting duel, slowed up| by penalties called on Decatur. I Coach Farrit ran in Captain Ear-| hart who had been kept from the game on account of an injury. He opened an aerial attack which soon put the ball in a position for a score. Hammitt blocked Buffett- • barger's punt from behind Decatur’s goal line and falling on the ball made the last touchdown. Earhart ran through the line for point at-; ter touchdown. J Portland man broke through the line just as the [

game was ending with an open field ahead of him. Conrod, stocky Decatur guard leaped over two men from behind and brought him down on the twenty-yard line. Line up: Decatur (0) Portland (19) V.

NET PRACTICES WILL COMMENCE -— I Coach George Laurent of Decatur Catholic high school and Coach H. I L. Curtis of Decatur high school ; have announced that basketball practice for the 1931-32 net season will start this week. Coach Curtis will be handicapped thro.igh October with his drills be- ; cause of the largo number of basketball players on the football squad. He stated however, that he would hold regular drills for the basketball material not on the g id I squad. Coach Laurent has called his Commodores for the first drill of the season tonight. A preliminary survey revealed that there will be about 35 candidates for the Com-1 modore agg-egation. Only two of j last year's players, Kleinhenz ami I

Carl Lose remain this season and Coach Laurent will have a job getting his team in shape for the hard schedule arranged. Prospects, however, are good at Catholic high school and it is thought that with the early starting of practice a good team can be organized by the last of the month. There is a lot of good material but for the most part it is green. The Commodores face the toughest schedule they have ever had Petie Mylott and Jerry Gage will assist Coach Laurent and will have charge of the second team's schedule. The Commodore second team has 18 games scheduled, with a pos-

Ho stated today he would make no effort to select a first and second squad for more than a month but would call regular daily practices for likely candidates not play ing football. The grid season will not be completed for another month and the first basketball game is almost a month and a half away.
