CURTISMEN IN TOUGH DRILLS FOR NET TILTS Big Squad Probably To Undergo Cut In Next Few Practices Decatur high school Ydllow Jacket basketball candidates are taking their work serious-, iv these days, and Coach Herb Curtis has another week to formulate a completely new team for this season. Everyone of the first six members of the team was graduated last spring and Conch Curtis will have to start at the be-, ginning again this season. There is a lot of material and of the 25 players still holding on to berths on the first squad probably' IS will see action early in the! season. Coach Curtis indicate.! yes-1 terday that lie would reduce his' squad to about IS the first of next i week. Following is tlie roster of theJ squad at present: Buffenbarger. Baumgartner. G.iy. Helm. Hill., Paul Strickler. Gerald Strickler. Johnson. Cowan. Ogg. Sanders,! Wilson, Alwein. E ■ iy. Harmon. Townsend. Dale Myers (not eligible, until second semester!. Moser.; Feasel. Ehlnger. Odle, Hernandez.' Rlythe. Macklin, and Bob Brown. Practice is two weeks old, and only fundamentals have been drill-' ed on. It is likely that the first scrimmage will be held Siturday morning at 9 o'clock. In the earlydrilling there are about 16 pl yer who stand out as good possibilities. Vernon Hill. Buffenbarger, Paul Strickler, Feasel, and Gay look extra good for so early in the season. Paul Strickler, a sophomore, promises to be one of the best players ever turned out by Coach Curtis. Incidentally he comes from a basketball family. Gay is big and fits into the pivot offense about as good as any play- ' cr could. Hill, Buffenbarger and Feasel have had a lot of experience and are coming along with strong bids for posts on tile first team. Ogg, Eady, Cowan. Blythe and Gerald Strickler look good in the ptlflfniinary drills. Ogg. already h ts hit mid-season form in offense and he has a great deal of defensive ability. Eady fits in ✓ :pivot cog and Cowan is fast on the forward drills. Blythe is good on both offense and defense. Gerald Strickler has a lot of ability both at forward and gun rd. Whinger, Townsend. Alwein. Baumgartner and Moser all look good and appear to have excellent chances to hold on the first squad. Coach Curtis is still sifting the material ami it is probable that others will be elevated from the squad to the first squad. Drills are on tap for every afternoon next week, with the opening game Friday night with Jefferson township. Jefferson never is a set-up ami Coach Olen Marsh has a good team this season with a lug chance to capture county honors. —o BARGAINS — Bargains in Giving Room. Dining Room Suites.

SAYS FOOTBALL IS GREAT GAME Col tnibus 0.. Nov. 6 (UP)-In one year from today or 1). football still will be the leiding college sport and the most attractive drawing card, in the opinion of L. W. Str John, director of athletics at ('hio State University, whu believes repeated assertions that football 'is on the decline" are unjust and without foundation. St. John, who for many years lias directed atlilelics at Ohio State and has been closely connected with football almost since Its origin in this country, told the United Press teday he believed the noblest of college spirts to be in a healthy condition, capable of maintaining the high pitch of Interest it has attained. "At present, the game of football is pulling through an unfavorable economic condition in better shape than most businesses," St. John said. "College games still draw big < row Is and still manage to help finance broad physiclal education and minor sports programs. "Tlie charge that fewer people are paying to se • college teams play and. therefore, the game is on the decline is untrue. Gate receipts have slumped during tlie past two years, but attendance figures from most colleges remain within 75 or Kb per cent of the best years and that's as good a record as other enterprises can show.

1 "Take for instance our game here I with Navy, Saturday. The attendance probably will lie 60,1)00. That’s | nearly as good as it would be in l iany year, considering the records! of the two teams. We have been! playing before large crowds all * ! season." I As far as college youths are concerned. football is more popular |than ever, according to tlie Ohio: State athletic director, who thinks tlie game has more spirit, holds more fi r tlie participant and is (more interesting than any college I sport. ' ! “The futur? of football is secure." , lie said. "As a sport its usefulness w ill develop as the years pass and it will not lose favor with tlie pub- ' He. It will not be replaced as the Heading college sport by any of the 'minor' sports now enjoying interco’lligiate competition, although I 'think tlie latter will increase their, scope. "Recently a mid western univers- : ity submitted to its football players a list of questions to determine lif fratenity pressure had forced I any into football, or if the desire! ' for publicity and personal glory [had influenced them to choose football in preference to other branches lof athletics. The results were 'gratifying because they showed 95 per cent clu se football for love of I tlie game. “Football will remain tlie king of j college sports." o Course Named For Authoress U.P> -Miss Wills h■r.

CRUCIAL TESTS TO DEFACED BY GRID TEAMS Wildcats. Irish. Meet Formidable Foes In Saturday Clashes Chicago. Nov. 6. (U.R) New foot ball laurels,await Notre Dame and; Northwestern if these twfl power-1 ful gridiron machines—ranked tlie' best in tlie mid west — continue lieir n J seated campaigns in tomorrow's crucial battles. Pennsylvania conies out of tlie east with an undefeated team to engage Notre Dame at South Bend and Minnesota conies down from the northwest to dispute Northwestern's eiaim to Big Ten supremacy in a home-coming game at Evanston. Close to 100,0110 spectators will see these two conflicts, feature of tomorrow’s mi l-west 41 rog r a m which includes three Big Ten games, four intersectional battles and a Big Ten-B g Six duel. ApI roximately 50,000 are expected al tlie Northwestern-Minnesota game. . which to all intents and purposes twill deckle the Big Ten title, and i more than 40,000 are expected to see the Notre Dame-Penn struggle, which will h ive a liearing on the national championship. ; The biggest crowd in the midwest is expected for tlie Ohio StateNavy game at Columbus, where some 60.000 will be on hand. Two southwestern teams. Arkansas and. Centenary, come north to meet

'Chicago and Purdue, respectively,; in two intersectional games. lowa' makes its first invasion of Nebras-1 1k 1 in 13 years to play the State I University at Lincoln. Besides the Northwestern MinneI sota game, the Big Ten schedule ; calls for conference competition between Michigan and Indiana at Ann Arbor and Wisconsin and Illinois at Urbana. Michigan and Wisconsin are favored. Another mid west intersectional game brings together M irquette, I beaten only by Detroit, and Washlington and Jefferson at Milwaukee. Notre Dame will b® pointing for its 24th victory in 25 games when | the Fighting Irish go into action against Penn, tlie fifth undefeated team which lias faced the South Bend eleven this season. IJotre Dame inflicted the year's first de fiats on Indiana. Dralte and Pittsburgh and played a 0-0 tie with! Northwestern. Penn has won from Swarthmore. Franklin A. Marshall.' Lehigh. Wisconsin and Lafayette. If Notre Dame gets past Penn as expected? the Irish will lie only three games from their third successive undefeated season. After tomorrow only Navy, Southern California ami Army remain on Notre Dame’s schedule, and Navy sn't ccm eded an <• ' -,e chance to upset the Irish. Northwestern, wl-.uh has defeated Ohio State. 10-0, and Illinois. 12 6. and Minnesota, which iias won from lowa. 34-0, and Wisconsin. 14-0, are file only two unbeaten teams left in the Big Ten. Northwestern. apparently carrying too much power in its big line and vaunted backfield for the Gophers, will lie a virtual certainity to win tlie Big Ten title unless Minnesota should spring an upset. After the Minnesota game tlie Wildcats have only Indiana and.

i lowa left on their schedule, and I j neither is likely to give Northwest- i lern more than a good workout. If Minnesota should do the unex-! pected and win from Northwestern, then the conference championship would hinge on the Michigan-Min-; nesota game at Ann Arbor, November 21. o Lost Parole to See Girl He Never Saw in Jail Detroit, - II P) Walter White. 25. lias gone to prison tor tiyingl to see a -irl he nevi r saw, but with whom he strnck up a speaking ac quanitance via an air shaft when botli were held in county jail.
