COMMIES NOSE KIRKLAND FIVE BY LONE POINT Open Home Season With 25-24 Victory Wednesday Night The Decatur Commodores, opening their home season Wednesday night, edged out a 25-24 triumph over the Kirkland Kangaroos which had the fans figuratively "standing on their ears" in the ( losing seconds. The Commodores have won both ot.-their games this season, and both have been by one-point margins, the Commies dropping the New Haven Bulldogs last week. 17-16. The Kangaroos, noted for years for their fighting qualities and never-say-die spirit, were trailing by four points at 25-21 with less 1 than a minute to go. Baumgartner ’ dropped in a foul toss on Baker’s personal and I). Arnold let fly with 1 a shot from the side good for two : points to slash the Decatur lead ' to one point but the game ended 1 before the Commodores could put the ball in play.

’ WISCONSIN IS . FAVORED OVER GOPHER ELEVEN t • Superior Speed (lives Badgers Edge Over >• Minnesota f Chicago. Nov. 17. — <U.R> —Speed 1 by land, air and in the brain of a canny quarterback may bring Wisconsin its first undisputed big ten 1 football championship since that crushing Badger eleven of 1912 el- * bowed its way through the western conference. Physical speed makes this year's team a threat from any point on 1 the playing field, as any team 1 coached by one of Notre Dame's four horsemen should be. Mentally. it's the smoothest outfit in the league. Since Notre Dame's undefeated Irish last week outspeeded Minnesota so completely, the up and coming Badgers are favored to do the same favored over the husky Gophers for the first time in years and a conference title depends on ' it. Victory means undisputed possession or at worst, a tie with Ohio state. There are conference teams with faster limners than Wisconsin's ball-carriers. Howie Weiss, Roy Beilin, and Billy Schmitz, but the whole squad has a balanced, general speed that fits it perfectly for the Notre Dame offense Harry Stuhldreher introduced three years ago. The Badger backfield probably lacks the great speed of the Irish, whose sudden bursts in the first, second and fourth periods actually made Minnesota look slower than it really is. It showed enough against Northwestern, however, to spell trouble for the Gopher defense. The Badgers so far are the only team with enough punch to score a touchdown on Northwest- , ern, and three at that. The man behind Wisconsin's attack. which has been successful against every team but Pittsburgh and the last half against Purdue, is Vince Gavre. senior quarterback. Gavre's shrewd selection of plays ’ drew loud praise from coach Bill Spaulding when the Badgers whipped his U. C. L. A. eleven last week. The Saturday before he had mixed them so well Northwestern was baffled completely. Defensively, Wisconsin should ' be almost as good as the Irish. Backing up the big red line are ' the two outstanding defense men 1 in the big ten — Weiss, the fullback, and center Jack Murray. Their chief worry is Larry Buhl- ' er. Minnesota's powerhouse plung- ' er. and the deep reverses shooting right halfback Wilbur Moore out- 1 side his own left tackle. Moore 1 can break up the ball game if Wis- * consin relaxes a split second. Speed favors Wisconsin not only in its own title game but in the other at Columbus as well. Ohio ' State's ponderous Bucks, who can ( share the title by scoring a victory Saturday, will be outfooted. , Michigan is a speed team with a bristling offense led by all-confer-cnce running guard Ralph Heikin- , ' -— t ■■■■■■■■■■■■Bi I |CORT - Last Time Tonight - 1 a i THRIFT ; NIGHT : COUPLE — 1 Adult Children 10c OP from too novel by Zoalio Charter!!.

Nov. 17—(U.R) — Now that John Donald Budge has turned professional and will, play tennts for gold notes instead i <>f silve- plate, the United States, lawn tennis association must dou-' ble and re double its efforts to-, ward the development of young Davis cup prospects. The dear old U. S. L. T. A. 1 realizes that with the loss of Budge the American team must have a new No. I player if it wants to keep the cup on this side of the ocean. The association realizes almost as well as the Australians do that without Budge in the line-up the kangaroo coun-i try >s almost certain to hijack the international mug next summer. I was furnished actual proof' that the U.S.L.T.A. is hotter on the trail of new stars than a pack of bloodhounds after a jail-break-er. with the arrival today of i U.S LT.A. service bulletin No. j 15. Under the heading "How to make the Davis cup team,” Mr. I Holcombe Ward, one of the editors of the bulletin, gives 600 words of valuable advice to the young men who would like to represent their country in cup play, i After reading Mr. Ward's 600 words I could not help but come to the conclusion that he could have said it all in 12 words. Because. to tell you the truth, all ■ Mr. Ward advised was for the I boys to go out and develop a game I that combined the best features i of Budge. Tilden. Vines. Brooks.. Larned, Wilding, both Doherty brothers Rochet, Perry, and Suzanne Lenglen. The boys who achieve this, hinted Mr. Ward — not too strongly, mind you. but fairly strongly—would be watched by the tennis fathers with j' “much interest.” I think this attitude of the ■ U.S.L.T A. is mighty fine. Its members show a great spirit |

when they agree to take time off from th'ir strutting and badge designing to pay attention to j young players whose games are (.scarcely developed past the stage i where tney could beat any player I who ever lived The Davis cup committee, the article points out. is looking for players who “have the courage to go to the net. the ability to reach I this dominating position behind . deep forcing strokes, and the skill to win the point by a sharp volley ! or a decisive smash " That's a surprising statement, isn t it? Almost as surprising, I would say, as one from a coal ■ company saying it would .hire miners who could mine 200 tons of coal a day. or one from a baseball team saying it would seriously consider engaging any i' .er who could guarantee to lead the league in stolen bases, hitting. > runs batted in. fielding, and home runs. Yet 1 suppose it is best that the U.S L.T.A. does demand that 1 the prospects it considers must be able to execute all strokes with the perfection of a master. i I doubt if the records would show : that many men improved very much after they were named for the team. The vast majority of I the non-playing captains, in whose hands the coaching of the boys is placed. «.re fine, upstanding citizens in private life, graced in all the social virtues. But as tennis i coaches — well, I'll take North western over Notre Dame. , (Copy>ight 1938 by United Prj.w) o
