NOTRE DAME AND PURDUE CD EAST Leading Indiana Teams I* 1a y Intersectional Contests Saturday Chicago, Oct. 25—(U.R) —Two of the midwest’s best football teams,! Notre Dame ami Purdue, will invade the east Saturday for a pair of Intersectional battles with leading elevens in that sector. Notre Dame will play the University of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh and Purdue will meet NewYork University at New York. Some of the edge was taken off the Notre Dame-Pittsburgh game! localise of Pitt's scoreless tie with Ohio State last week, but more than 60.000 persons—the biggest ‘ crowd to see a game in the east. or midwest this year- will see the battle. Purdue also was tied last week by Northwestern, 7-7. but the 1 Boilermakers lost no prestige in that game. They outplayed the Wildcats for three periods, and, had victory snatched from them , on a desperate passing attack in the last few minutes of play. Both Notre Dame and Purdue employ the same style of play—, balanced line with shifting backs i —and are perhaps the two bestl exponents of that offensive in the: country.

IT seems to be pretty certain that Herr Max Schmeling will gat the first crack at heavyweight ciiampion Jack Sharkey when the Big Business Man from Boston decides to defend his title, the probable date being next June. In spite of the fact that the last SharkeySchineling “battit” was the most uninteresting big fight in years, there is a real demand for a return bout. This is because a lot of people who heard the fight over the radio agreed with Joe Jacobs that Schmeling had been robbed, thus creating a big controversy over the merits of the decision. Many people think that Schmeling has earned a return bout with Sharkey because (1) he stopped Mickey Walker in 8 rounds last September. and (2) the decision which cost him the title was highly questionable. However, there are many objections that could be advanced against Schmeling’s right to another title bout. The main objection is that he and Sharkey would be likely to put on another “agony” bout, and that might kill interest in the heavy-

Notre Dame and Purdue, are both 1 pupils of khe late Knute Rocktie. Anderson was a guard on the 1919 team bn which George Gipp played and Kizer was one of the “seven i mules'' who performed in front of I the “four horsemen’’ in 1921 The east will get a glimpse of some of the classiest banks in the , west when the Boilermakers and I Irish wheel into action. Purdue's I slashing, ripping ball carriers include Roy Horstmann, unstopped in Pig Ten competition; Jimmy Carter, a weaving sophomore; Fred Hecker, a hard-runner and bullet passer; and Jim Purvis, a driving halfback. It’s now the “eight horsemen" at Notre Dame with Jaskwhich. Lukats. Melinkovich. Branchea t. Vojar, Koken.

t - weight division for quite a while, t i Then again, I would like to see t Schmeling fight a more formidable ! opponent than the battle-scarred, ■ undersized Walker before he is ■ given first crack at the title. _ What about Max Baer? Baer’s virtual knockout of Ernie Schaaf and his Kayo of “Tuffy” Griffiths ’ were both more impressive victories than Schmeling’s win over , Walker. The former butcher boy from Livermore, Cal., is potentially . a better fighter than Germany’s Max, in the opinion of veteran fight observers; but in the past Baer’s playboy tactics and his lackadaisi- , cal attitude in the ring made it apI pear that he would never fulfil his early promise. 1 hen, a little more than a year ago, Baer got married. Tha* started the change. Husband Baer cut out the playboy stuff, and started to put 1 his nose to the grindstone. He actually trained for his fights. Two 1 gruelling twenty-round bouts with 1 Paulino and Levinsky added vastly I to Baer’s store of experience, and 1 I he ran up a string of victories, in-

In the last few rounds of that scrap, the ex-playboy battered away at the durable Schaaf with a truly Demp-sey-like fury. Baer proved that his newly-found fighting spirit was not | merely a flash in the pan by anni- i Mating the game “Tuffy” Griffiths ! in Ins next scrap, finishing Griffiths in the seventh round with a savage flurry of wallops. Baer seems to have really found i himself at last, and from now on he will be very hard to beat—unless I his perennial managerial troubles | upset the temperamental Californian Schmeling and Baer should put up a sensational scrap if they ever meet, since both the American Max and Germany’s Max are Kayo punchers who pack potent sleep producers, while at the same time both have proved themselves durable and tough. .

Oct. 25.—(U.R) -Foot- 1 ball attendance has dropped this ' season despite a general reduction of admission prices, a United Press , survey disclosed today. Loss in patronage which in at , least one ose was as high as 50 per cent, indicated a national drop f around 20 per cent. There has not been a sell-out at .any college game of na.iotial interest during the first half of the season. although many cloleges have male deep cuts in ticket prices. These slashes have helped, in some cases, to maintain attendances com parable with those of last season. Notre Dame has attracted 65,000 fcr the three games played at South Bend this season, while three games played in the c trresponding period :oi” 1931 drew crowds totalling 127.000. This year’s opponents were Haskell, Drake and Caruegie Tech while in 1931 games included the Northwestern and Pittsburgh features. 0 Urge Continuance Os Chain Store Tax Indianapolis Oct 25 (UP)—Resoluti i-s urging continuance of the Indiana chain store licens ■ law were a.l.pud by the retail grocers and , meat dealers association at its annual conv ntion he.e yest rday.

Immediately after Roosevelt's deI parture state Republican, lead.-rs are believed to have urg d the Prej sklent t, came here. — Washington, Oct. 25. — (U.R)" — ' President Hoover is expected to make his Madison Square Garden ! address in New York next Monday |an appropriate one with plenty of I "punch" in it, which may include i a two fisted warning against "radicalism." Republican campaign strategy i from now on calls for stressing this I line of attack on the opposition, lespecial'y iu the conservative and j ! iudustrlal east, it was apparent to- ! day. The President's first conferences this week over his next speech i were with Senator Glenn. Repn., 111., and Rep. Fish, Hepn., N. Y. Both left the White House criticizing Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt a'ong the “radicalism” line. The chief executive regards the New York speech as one of the high spots in his personal campaign I for re-election. He slashed out in increasing sharper tempo at his opponent in his Detroit address, but

even more biting criticism is plan-, tied. Mr. Hoover is working at length Jon the speech, conferring with po [litical advisers and departmental' ■experts, and gathering data to put ! la "new punch" in it. This feeling on the part of the President regarding the importance of his New York utterance caused some doubt yesterday that he would j go into the midwest again this week. He was expected to decide definitely today on the matter of this immediate third invasion of I the doubtful area. Reports persisted that he might go to Indianapolis (for a speech there Friday, then to Chicago for a Saturday address, before swinging to New York. The rumored California journey at the end of the campaign remained pure’y conjectural. I C ONTINUE HUNT FOR TWO OTHER BANK BANDITS I CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE j one of the bandits automobiles was stopped. "Get uUt and lie down beside the road," one of the men told Gouldors and Miss Thomson. Battle Bandits Mindoro. Wis.. Oct. 25. — (U.R) — Bandits and deputy sheriffs fought a pistol battle across two counties today after four men attempted to rob the Mindoro State Bank, were frightened and fled under fire. Two of the nmn were wounded and captured at Black River Fal's by Sheriff Carl M. Anderson and ' his deputies who took up the chase 1 when the fugitives escaped from LaCrosse county. Rob Messenger Milwaukee. Wis.. Oct. 25.—(U.R) — Four men held up Elmer Preuss,' bank messenger, on a residential street today and escaped with $22.500 in cancelled checks and non-1 negotiable securities, according to’ W. I. Green, president of the West Side Bank. The bandits ran Preuss' automo- ! ■ bile into the curb two blocks from' the East Side Bank which the messenger had just left, snatched the bag containing the money and checks and drove away. The automobile the bandits used had been stolen in Kenosha earlier , in the day. THINK ROBINS H AS BEEN SLAIN CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE indicating his mind was in order. One theory advanced was thar Robins had suffered an attack of amnesia. "President Hoover and Senator Borah of Idaho, his good friends, are avast that such a thing could happen to a man of Robins’ prominence." Levinson said iOHN N GARNER MAKES REPLY TO HOOVER TALKS CONTINUED FROM I‘AGE ONI' figures of the p st t'.iree yearn are juggled, the record of futility and deception cannot be changed. * "The truth of the matter ia that Preside®?.

COLUMBIA meets Cornell! On the results of their earlier games Cornell, the ’ big red team from Ithaca, Ought to run into some trouble subduing Columbia, for Lou Little, coach of the big New York City outfit, has trotted a powerful team out on to the gridiron at Baker Field for the 1932 schedule. The i.,al test of Columbia’s ability, or at least the most spectacular test, was the Princeton game, in which Columbia won brilliantly. Last year it wasn’t much of a trick to tame the Tiger, r but this seaosn Fritz Crisler has a snarling pack of Bengals. But while Columbia ought to give Cornell quite a tussle, the experts say Cornell will win. Gil Dobie, the ancient mentor of,the Ithacans, l.as been more pessimistic than ever this year, and that is regarded as ominous. He still has Ferraro and Viviano and a strong line—an outfit which shapes up on paper as superior to the one-man threat of

Cliff Montgomery, the big gun of Lou Little’s attack. Floundering badly at the start of the season, Yule clearly missed Booth, the one and only Albie. But they missed also another young man, who was on the sidelines with an injury. That youngster is Bob Lassiter, who last year stood second only to Booth among (hv Bulldog bullets. When Yale meets Dartmouth next Saturday the New Hampshire boys will have their instructions. ‘Watch Lassiter" will be the watchword. Coach Cannell thinks his boys can stop Crowley, but he is not quite sure about this tall and rangy Lassiter boy from Charlotte, N. C. Last fall it was conceded that Bob was terrific in a broken field and a terror off tackle. He is heavier now, with a year of 'varsity play behind him. If he gets any blocking, he can be counted on to supply most of the broken-field thrills of the day. Illinois, once the terror team of the midwest, has not been the same
