Latest word from laifayette is that Barwegan. a leading candi date for All-Amerlca. definitely won’t play because of a knee Injury. Isbell also said that freshman Harry Szulborskl and George Buksar will handle tailback most of the time because of Smock's injury. Canfield and Pfohl have been missing from action so long that their “news worthiness" has long since been eliminated from the day-by-day training reports. Canfield, who led the Big Nine In practically every department except passing last fall, was hurt in pre-season practice and has played only in one game That was two weeks ago. against Wisconsin The field then was wet and slippery, and if Isbell was willing —TODAY— Continuous from 1:30 “CLUNY BROWN” Jennifer Jones, Chas.

Gamblers Reap Rich Rewards From Football Chicago. Nov. 21 — (UP) members of a gambling syndicate which got Its start in the hey-day of Al Capone are pocketing fat profits from widespread gambling on college footbull games, a Chic- ’ ago anti-crime leader reported to ■ day. Virgil Pelerson, secretary of the ’ (Tile ago vrime commission, charged that betting on football "parlay cards." spreading among college and university students during the current season, wax a “Vicious racket" definitely in the hands of the old Capone syndicate. As Peterson's charges were made, the University of Illinois disciplinary committee at Champaign was considering the answers given by three students to questioning on their parts in distributing the cards on the campus. A committee member gave an impli-d admission of the wide- 1 . spread nature of the gambling by asserting that the three students would get by with only a reprimard "because there are so many Involved that we can’t pun-i Ish everybody.” University authorities declined to disclose (he students' names. Authorities here said It was known that students on some campuses act as agents for distributing the cards. They said that some could make as high as floo or 1150 a week on their i 25 percent of the "take" on the j cards. Some students have built the business to the point where they employ other students as runners, some sources said. Maurice J. Walsh, assistant U. 8. district attorney in charge of the criminal division, said h>( found in an investigation of “par lay card" gambling that railroad conductors, students, clerks, news- > boys, barbers, and many other per- , sons in direct contact with the j public at all times acted as agents. Peterson expressed fear at the 1 growth of gambling on college: score results, saying It carried a threat of ultimate peril to the amateur, collegiate sport. John Pendergast, commissioner 1 of police in Chicago, said his of--1 fleers were doing what they can 1 to stamp out the "racket." but |M>fht<-d out that the plant and equipment of the “parlay card" dealers is easily concealed, and that driven from one district of the city, they can go to another. The current drive gainst “parlay card" gambling at the University of Illinois began lastVeek after Gene Shalit, Morristown, N. J., sports columnist for the student newspaper Daily Illini, said he knew “about 15 card hustlers on the campus." * He said all but one got their cards from a Chicago syndicate and were allowed to keep 2U percent of receipts.
