Oct s — (UP) l-es ly Gene Bearden is an unorthodox cuss, but you have to admit he’s refrer hing Most |>eople In sports pay complimentary things about (heir rivals. particularly when they are on the spot But the handsome Arkansas giant who goes to the hill today for the Cleveland IndiahK in the third game of the world series asserts In just about so many words, that those opposing Boston Braves are a bunch of bums "I supose somelHidy will knock out my brains for saying it." said the six-fott. three Inch knuckle ball specialist, “but they don’t look so very tough to tne. Once you pitch ’o guys like Ted Williams and Vern Stephens, well ” One of the few southpaw knuckle ball hurlers in captivity should know. He hud plenty of time to I look over the American league’s | big lumber men this season and he was rough as sandpaper when the big blue <hips were on the line That was the playoff game against the lied Sox. when he went out : and handcuffed those Boston sluggers with a mere five hits to win he pennant for the Indians. Even in such a spot the big fel : low wasn't poiturbed. Only by , lottklng back a couple of years can I you understand why he is so tough to rattle. Nothing again will ever be as difficult a thing to face as that afternoon when a Jap torpedo slammed into the cruiser Helena. I and Bearden, down in the boiler room, was carried out more dead than alive. Gene, carries silver plates in his skull and his right leg as he goes out there today, souvenirs of those savage moments, so you can't expect him to wor.y too much alsiut SO.fMHi fans most of them cheering Ills every pitch. And those slants, which are mighty diflcult to hit as the frus trated Red Sox will tell you. figure to put the Indians ahead by a two games to one count before the sun j goes down For Bearden's knackI ler is an elusive target which I breaks down and then out. much like an outlaw ed spit ball It doesn't float up there and then do its dance, like most, probably because of his unusual three-finger-led delivery. As the tialn bearing the Indians west sped through the night, Bear den. the (enter of baseball's big atra- tiou. was the first man asleep "I can sleep any time, anywhere." Bearden laughed later.

Northwestern And Minnesota Play Feature i Chicago. Oct 8 * t I’Pt North western's unscored-upon football team will defend its untarnish ed goal line tomorrow against a Minnesota team which has scored 59 points in two games in the head line contest on Saturday's midwestetn gild slate The Wildcat eleven, which bc»un< e<| into a contenders rating for the big nine championship by troumlng Purdue hist week, will be minus one of its stars, end Joe Zuravleff. Otherwise the surprisingly good Northwestern line and speedy backfield were expected to be at top ability. Minnesota will bring a reputed ly tough and tough line into the game, but its backfield is still of uncertain caliber and spokesmen for Bernie Bierman rei>ort numerous injuries will hurt the Gopher attack Ev Faunce, Minnesota's leading ground gainer, had a cold while Billy Bye. a speedy halfback. was in uncertain condition Although Northwestern was a one touchdown favorite, the breaks could easily upset the Wildcat applecart. and Minnesota's line could force some breaks. The Northwestern backfield on paper looked far superior to the makeshift combination which Bierman will be obliged to use. Two ofher major conference games are on the program Ohio State was given the next over lowa in if tussle at Columbus while the Michigan • Purdue game at Lafayette was regarded as a toss-up. Three big-nine teams will take on Inter-sectional foes with Wisconsin carrying the midwest banner against California at Berkeley in the final clash with a Pacific coast conference team before the Rose Bowl Illinois will r-new its rivalry* with Army at Champaign and was a defin.te underdog to the Cadets while Indiana will entertain Texas Christian in the final game involving a big nine club. The Hoosiers were favored to win. Notre Dame, standout of the midwest independents, will tackle a rough Michigan Slate eleven at South Bend to complete the week* end's play.
