ST. JOE CAGERS PLAN SCHEDULE Daily practices a e on tli' pro | gram for the St. Joe eijhtli grade ' ragers, last year's city champions and county tournament finalists, in I preparation for a 20-game schedule I being an anged for this season. ! Coach Bob Wemhoff announced to-! day. The squad already has been cut to 12 men. According to present p.ans, the ! season will be opened November 25 j as a preliminary to the Commodore Lima .raeas. Other games will be ' with Cathedral, Fort Wayne ' last year's city league champions, i Lima, Monroeville, New Haven, Areola, Ohio City, and Woodburn, besides the Adams county teams. Six veterans from last season's championship squad are included in the preent squad of twelve men. i hey are: taker, B aden, Hess. | Murphy, Daniels, and Appelman. j The rest give indicatlton of develop- j mg into first -string material, and I a stiff battle is for positions. Re- i serve material, noticeably lacking j iast year, will be plentiful and for- ; midabe this season, Coach Wemhoff j believes. Light drills and fundamentals j whiclj marked the first few weeks of practice have been supplanted this week by scrimmages and play formations. Practice sessions will be intensified during the next two weeks preparatory to the opener on Thanksgiving eve. Tomorrow night Decatur high school Yellow Jackets will undergo ! a real test. Die New Haven Bull 1 Dogs will come here to settle a: hardwood dispute. New Haven always has a tough team. The ALen county quintet in-; . jriably gives the Fort Wayne schools a race tor county honors and now and then upsets the dope. Coach Curtis has drilled his squad I all wesk -and while every indication points to a great game -Deca- ; tur is favored. It is likely that Herb will choor.a to stat Feattl and Hill, Gay-»-Bi fenbarger and Ogg. But the rest of the boys likely wiil get more of a work-out than they did a week ago. The two Stricklcrs, Eady, Blythe. Cowan and Sanders are going to see ! a lot of action during the sear.an. Nat because they are getting! worse, but it is probable that Coach Curti. will send :fbveral of his utility men into second team j t.its this season —mo e for practice than anything else. The Cloverleafs go to Huntjngton tonight so, a game with the Phi Belts of that city. It's a league aame and probably one of the most impotaut of the season. Dope is that Decatur and Huntington are the class of the Wabash loop. Bob Wemhoff is drilling his St. Joe Eighth graders every day for the opening game here Thanksgiving eve. The Graders have a tough ! assignment this season with 20 games on the calendar. Steve Everhart's Central graders look better every day—Steve has i about 15 boys that look like comor* —and with the system he Is developing, looks like every year would be easier for Coach Curtis. When a columnist hasn’t much lome town material to support, he s arts attacking brother columnif.'s ! —Poor Old Buck over at the Suburb is jumping ail over Basketbawls We don’t blame him— but we’re "> stty busy now with a lot of good IT <£> Whether services —are held at your home or *t our umeral home, the cost is comparatively the same.

Irish favored BY SMART MONEY tas Angeles, Nov. 19.—(U.R)—For the first time since Southern California and Notre Dame opened their intersectional rivalry, enthusiastic native sons will not be down hook, jline and sinker on the Trojans Sat- ! urday. There is very little Southern CaliI fornia money hereabouts for the | South Bend meeting and such as j there is only comes out under such ] persuasions as 12, 13 and 14 points [or more. This unusual situation apparently results from the scorching the i Trojan backers took last year when .the local team lost to the Irish. 0 to 27. Offhand there seems to be no ; more reason to demand two or j three touchdowns this year' than there was to make the Trojans 10 jto 8 favorites last fall. Southern California takes an im- ' mensely powerful team into action I Saturday. It has a great offense las shown by its 53 to 0 win over! J Oregon. Its defense has been so! good that only three times has its j I goal been crossed, twice by St, | i Mary's via the forward pass route | [and once by Washington State | through the line. I Although defeated in its first j start, 13 to 7, by St. Mary's it now ■ | seems superior to last year's elev-1 !cn ami it has practically clinched' jthe coast conference championship.' Southern California and Notre i Dame have met five times. On 'three occasions the Irish won by a single point.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 19, 1931.

; CLOSE-UP OF IRISH MENTOR South Bend, ind., Nov. 19.—(U.R) ! —introducing Heartly W. (Hunk) ] Anderson, successor to the late Knute Rockne as Notre Dame football coach, who has the Irish pointing for another national champion- ! ship. IHe is Scotch-Irish and not Swedi ish as is generally thought. Ilia, religious faith is Episcopalian. He is 33, married and has three chil dren, Sherly Jean, 7; Joan Marie, 6, and Heartly William, Jr., 10 months. He has blonde hair which lias thinned until he is approaching baldness. First and last Anderson is a football coach. He has no dynamic! personality, no eloquent tongue, and no illusions about his capacity. He shoots straight from the shoulder, calls a spade a spade and minces no words with friend or foe. He doesn't believe in "rah-rah" ■stuff and doesn’t give any pep talks. He mentioned the word I spirit to the players for the first time this year before the Pitts burgh game, and it sounded strange to him he said: "That’s Hie first time I’ve men tinned that word this year." He believes the team that knows the most football and plays it nearly always will win. He knows that lie doesn’t have to key up Notre Dame football players and doesn't try. He lias many of the characterisitics of Rockne, and appears to be (getting more and more ike him • without giving the impression that ! lie is trying to pose or pattern | himself after the man who had j more to do -vita shaping his career I than any other per??.n. Like Rockne, Anderson learned | j early how to battle against odds j [He was one of Notre Dame’s first! jand best ‘‘watch-charm’’ guards, standing only 5 feet, 10)4 inches and weighing only 170. As a play er he worked his way through | school. He played on the same team with his high school chum. George Gipp |iu 1919 and 1920 when Notre Dame won 18 consecutive games. lit also played in 1921 when the team I lost one game. 10-7, to lowa. The j lowa team at that time was coachjej by Howard Jones, whose Southern California team meets Ander-1 i son's Notre Dame team Saturday ! He became Rockne's assistant in j il’)22 and coached the line until j j 1928 when he went to St. Louis U niversity as head coach for two ,years. He returned to Notre Dame I last year, coaching an entire new 1 ! ne for the 1930 national ehamp- | ions. He played professional football for five years with the Chicago Boars in order to help meet expenses as his salary was very small in I ibis early years as line coach. He ;»as considered one of the best 1 neniett in the professional league, playing against men who usually outweighed Him 20 to 30 pounds. He never liked to make any kind of talks. Rockne called on him for a pep talk when he was an I undergraduate and he pulled the j classic line: “I’ll do the best we can." Using most of the same plays Rockne did last year, he has added 3 oi 4 of his own design. Ha ’is j tireless in his attention to fundamentals such as blocking, charg i lng, tackling. . Reports of dissatisfaction with | his coaching are entirely without iloundation. Jesse Harper, athletic director, regards him as one of the ! brainiest football men in the country. Like Rockne, Anderson is 'the boss of the Notre Dame taani. i His word is law. Sharp and sar- l castic, Anderson's words ring out v hen .a Notre Dame player fails to carry out his assignment in practice. NET SCHEDULE TO BE CHANGED Because Markle obtained tbe services of several of tile Huntington Phi Dolt basketball players. Huntington withdrew its team from the Wabash Valley net loop ami Kendallville was admitted to membership, it was announced today. As a result, the Decatur-Hunting- 1 ton game scheduled for tonight has been cancelled and the game with , Kendallville will be played In a few days, It was announced. Manager Bob Hill of the (’loverleaf team said that the Kendallville team would come here on the j date previously held by Huntington. Next Tuesday night Bluffton will come here for a game with then Cloverleafs and u packed gym is anticipated.- The Bluffton team la composed of former Bluffton high school players. o Thanksgiving dinner and | supper, Evangelical church, Thursday.' Anybody in the market for a suit or an overcoat should visit Teeple & Peterson’s store first.
