Bo McMillin Writes Series Os Articles For Daily Democrat By A. N. (BO) McMILLIN. Head Football Coach at Indiana University.

(Editor’s note: This is the first I of a series of articles by Bo Me-1 Millin. who had the rare distinction of being elected captain of a ■ college football team two years,! and being named captain at the ; end of his other two years. He > was Walter Camp's selection one . year as all-American quarterback.! Today Bo comments on state high school and college football conditions as he found them when he came to the Hoosier State about a | year ago to become head football coach at Indiana). Coming to Indiana university in at I started my thirteenth i ■ year as a coach, and discovered ■ when I reported at Bloomington ; ! that I also was Indiana's thirteenth I football coach. It was natural that | I also should be a bit wary of the I ' situation. 1 had the idea that Indiana as a state was entirely basketball-mind-> ed, with football being completely ; subordinated to the indoor sport. ; , The response and cooperation which greeted my first efforts, how : ! ever, were more than gratifying, (and made the stranger from Kansas feel right at home. Found Growing Interest During the past year, I have been in more than 90 cities and towns j throughout the state and Indiana, : and Hoosier hospitality is every bit as evident as the famous Southern brand in whose atmosphere I was reared. Instead of finding a . totally basketbill-minded group with which to work, it was easy to discern that the boys were be- ! coming more and more absorbed in football, providing the first stone in a foundation for football sue- ( ; cess. i In general, football throughout ■the state of Indiana is high grade. ■ In the high schools, where the boys really receive their first organized instruction in the game, several fine teams are outstanding exponents of the sport. Some of the i top-notch teams include those from I Muncie, Clinton, South Bend, BickI nell, Whiting, Linton, Froebel and

by years of membership, and sec--1 ond, one-half pro rata by years i participation in sectional baskett tall tournaments for the years 1933. 1934. and 1935. According to the board's ruling, , the maxirum amount apportioned ( to a school will be S4B on the basis of $8 for each year of membership and $8 for each year of participation ak designated. Approximately $40,000 of surplus funds were distributed in 1932. Clearsprings high school, JackIsnn county, was suspended by the board of control until April 1, 1936 on charges of alleged ineligibility of athletes on account of grades, , coercion in securing contributions from teachers to carry on athletics. coaching activities by a teacher not having license qualifications and the use of undue in- ■ fluence in soliciting basketball ■ players and in securing one basket- • ball player. The 1935-36 calendar for the as- - sociation was announced by Trest er. ■ The annual fall meeting of the > association will be held here Oct. - 17. Speakers will be Dr. J. B. - Edmundson, dean ot the school of - education. University of Michigan, and John L. Griffith, commissioner i of Big Ten athletics. i Meetings of physical education

j Horace Mann of Gary, and many ' (others. Believes in Clinics I have found great cooperation here between high school and college football coaches, a condition which is healthy for the game itsself and is bound to be beneficial to those playing the game. An outstanding example of this cooperation is the annual football clinic held at Purdue university, where last spring more than 300 high school and college coaches gathered for an exchange of ideas and observance of the workings of various systems. At this clinic coaches received instruction from Noble Kizer and Mai Edward of the Purdue staff and Elmer I,ayden of Notre Dame, assisted by some of the leading high school coaches in the state. The clinic idea will grow, and at the clinic scheduled to be held September 4 at LaPorte, a goodly; number of coaches will be enrolled. A clinic also is held each year at Terre Haute, and we hope to establish such a forum at Indiana 11 university.

CARDS ADD TO : LEAGUE MARGIN Beat Pirates Twice As Cubs Split And (Hants Are Idle New York. Sept. 3— <U.R> —The | formula for beating the St. Ixmis ■ Cardinals was missing again to1 day. The Pittsburgh Pirates, battling desperately to hang on to pennant i hopes, thought they had it when | I they knocked off the Cardinals ■ ' twice last week, with Dizzy Dean ! : one of their victims. Fresh evidence that you can't tajte anything for granted where the Cardinals are concerned was furnished by the first game of the i St. Louis-Pittsburgh doubleheader , i yesterday. The Pirates wont into | ' the ninth inning leading. 31. and i had one man out in the ninth. Pittsburgh players might have! been tliinking bow they were' going to take a double-header and , move to within 4 games of the I ! National league lead. The y j ’ might have been thinking how the ' Cardinals were weakening in the ' role of pacemakers. Anyway, they were wrong. Only two outs to go. and Pittsburgh would have had the first ] game in the victory column. The ras house gang broke loose on' Big Jim Weaver. Virgil Davis | and Leo Durocher walked. That | wasn't serious until Charles Gel- j h»rt slashed a long single to right. That one punch tied the score,! 3-3, Durocher scoring the tying: •mn v-hen Arky Vaughan fumbled the relay. They batlled on into the 16th ] Inning when Joe Medwick blasted a double and Jimmy Collins ripped out a single for the winning run. Then in the second game, which was called after 5 innings because i of darkness, the Cards win eaeily.: 5- with Dizzy Dean hanging up his 23d victory. Paul Dean, in a ; relief role, won his 16th game in the opener. The double victory increase 1 the Cards’ lead over the idle New York Giants to two games. The Chicago Cubs broke even with the ! Cincinnati Reds and slipped to 2Vi games behind the Cards. Detroit wrested a double header from the Chicago White Sox. 6- and 5-0. The Tigers’ lead is 9 games. St. Ixtuis defeated Cleveland 4-1. but the Indians rallied to take the second game. 7-2. Jack Wilson’s homer in the 11th gave I the Boston Red Sox a 9-8 victory —————g—
