Boilermakers Tough Again This Season LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Purdue** football team, two deep, is as good as last year’s team, Coach Jack Mollenkopf said today. The Boilermakers will be trouble for the Big Tten again. Last year Purdue, with a two platoon system in which each team played half of each period, was beaten only by Wisconsin and tied by Ohio State and Indiana in a nine-game schedule. "We’ve got Bernie Allen at quarterback on the No. 2 unit,” Mollenkopf said, “and he’s as good as (Bob) Spoo, so I think we’re equal.” Other losses were negligible, except for tackles Gene Selawski, a 245-pounder, and Mollenkopf discounted the importance of a lighter line because "Selawski was our only big boy last year.” Defense Matches 1958 Defense was the Boilermakers’ main threat last season, best in the Big Ten and second best in the nation, and Mollenkopf said “I don’t know why we shouldn’t be as good on defense as last year. We’ve worked unmercifully in a lot of heat, hard workouts and twice a day. This time last year our team was further advanced than we are now, but we should be just as good.” Mollenkopf has 'veterans for every first team position, and he has only three sophomores on the second team, all earning their position on merit. In the top line he has ends Dick Brooks and Len Jardine, tackles Jerry Beabout and Dale Rems, who finished on the first team last season, guards Emory Turner and Ron Maltony ahdcenter Sam Joyner. ‘they’re sti rd y dependable players,” he said, “and all of them have developed from third or fourth team to get their jobs. We’re smaller at tackles, but these boys finished on the first two units as good defensive backs. And on the first team, we’ll have good offensive chances with Ross Fichtner at quarterback, Len Wilson and Joe Kulbacksi at halfbacks. and Bob Jarus at fullback.” Blocking is Weak The second team backfield includes Allen, halfbacks Jim Tiler and Clyde Washington and fullback Jack Laraway. Laraway and Jarus rate about even, Tiler is classed as Purdue’s most likely breakaway back, and Washington is a solid hand hitter. But Molenkopf complained that “wehaven’t found our offense yet We haven’t got enough blocking. We’ve probably given out more plays than any other two teams, and our potential is as good as our offense.

Junior High Teams Play Friday Night The purple-shirted Colts and the gold-shirted Rams will run through final juntos high football sessions this afternoon in preparation for the intra-squad- game, preceding the Decatur-Auburn game Friday evening. The young Jackets will start at 6:30 p. m., while the varsity toils at 8 p. m. Competition for starting slots on both junior high squads still runs high as many as three boys are battling for starting roles at each position. Tentative line-ups will be chosen from the showings in today's tune-up drills. Good Small Boys The young football aspirants are learning that size is not the dominant factor in selecting a good football player for a starting assignment as the smaller boys are showing good speed and savvy in the usually rough line play. The carrying out of specified assignments is always a determinant factor in making the final choice also. , This afternoon the two squads will meet head-on in an abbreviated scrimmage as the coaches will align the teams for kick-off drills and each squad will run through four or five plays against their Friday night opponents. This will allow them the chance to see what’ to expect on Friday and also give a little taste of what the game is really about. Will Choose Starters The best boys of Friday’s game will be chosen by the coaching staffs as the starters for the games against New Haven and Columbia City junior highs. The first clash is slated for Sept. 21 here at 7 p. m. against New Haven, a team which has the knack of dishing out a pretty good shellacking, especially against Decatur. The consolidated team then will work out as a unit for the New Haven and Columbia City games, only to return to separate teams for the remainder of the year, playing pre-varsity games at Worthman field. Parents, friends, relatives, and interested fans are urged to attend these games, especialy Friday’s, to view their young hopefuls. r

Indians Hang To Slim Hope For Flag Win By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Never say die because that Cleveland club everyone said was dead is beginning to show signs of life. “Who says we’re dead?” snaps manager Joe Gordon.

The status quo was maintained in the National League where each of the top three contenders won. First-place San Francisco stayed three games in front with a 7-2 victory over Pittsburgh; Los Angeles nipped Philadelphia, 1-0, and Milwaukee topped St. Louis, 5-3. Cincinnati swept a doubleheader from Chicago, 4-2, in 10 innings and 7-2 in a five-inning nightcap called because of darkness. Bob Shaw won his 15th game for the White Sox with a sevenhitter against the Senators. The White Sox scored four runs with the help of three errors in the seventh. Jim Bunning held Boston to three hits in registering his 16th win for Detroit. Held to Four Hits Art Ditmar and Whitey Ford combined in a four-hit effort that gave the Yankees their victory over the A’s. Willie Mays cracked his 27th home run and scored three of the Giants’ seven runs against the slumping Pirates, who lost their seventh game in the last eight starts. - Don Drysdale ended a monthlong slump and a personal sixgame losing streak when he pitched the Dodgers to their victory over the Phillies. Drysdale struck out 11 and yielded three hits en route to his 16th victory. Bobby Avila’s grand-slam homer in the ninth inning sank Ernie Broglio of the Cardinals and brought Milwaukee southpaw Warren Spahn his 19th victory.

Pete Brewster May Play With Steelers Uited Press International e A budding Bobby Layne-Pete Brewster passing combination has suddenly made the Pittsburgh Steelers look like a top contender in the National Football League. Brewster, who had announced his retirement at the end of the 1958 season, was acquired from the Cleveland Browns Wednesday in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice. The former Purdue ace had been a standout end for the Browns during his seven-year tenure with Cleveland, leading the club in pass receiving in his last four seasons. Steeler President Art Rooney said after the announcement, “We had agreed to terms over the telephone and Pete’s satisfied. But he must talk over the situation with his partner in a sporttog goods store to make arrangemeiHs about being away. If all works out with his partner, Pete will join the team Sunday.” Pittsburgh, which has lost three straight exhibition games since the .opening win over Cleveland, has*needed offensive end material since the injuries of Jim Orr and Jack McClairen and the Steelers hope Brewster will fill the void. The Green Bay Packers, witn no new injuries for a change, staged an hour and a half workout to Greensboro, N.C., for Satursday’s nationally televised game with the Washington Redskins at Winston-Salem. Coach Weeb Ewbank of the world champion Baltimore Colta has placed offensive halfback Curly Johnson on the waiver list. The former University of Houston failed to make the New York Giants’ team last year because of injuries. - + i L-j* Major Leasue Leaders United Press International National League Player A Club G.

Joe Brown Is Early Winner Over Kerwin COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPD—Lightweight champion Joe Brown, who once thought of stepping up a division, said today he Ms satisfied to stay in the 135-pound class “even though I may be running out of opponents.” The hard-h ill in g champion Wednesday night scored a fourth round technical knockout over Canadian welterweight champion Gale Kerwin in a nationally-tele-vised, non-title 10-rounder. ‘Tve been making the lightweight limit easy,” Brown said, “even though I was overweight last night.” Brown weighed in at 140 for the Kerwin fight. “I’ve just about run out of opponents by fighting so much,” Brown said, “although the NBA— National Boxing Assn—will keep 10 fighters up there for me.”

Brown bore no marks of his i battle with Kerwin, which referee ' Jack Dempsey stopped at 1:50 in 1 the fourth with the Canadian , bleeding from a severe cut over his left eye. It was the second i time in his 40 professional bouts ; that Kerwin, who has been side- ( lined for almost a year due to a severe case of anemia, had , been stopped by a cut. ; The 33-year-old champion ; knocked Kerwin down in the sec- i ond round for a seven-count with a left-right combination which he said has been working perfectly ; for him in his last three fights. Each fighter got $4,000 of the , television money with Brown get- ■ ting 30 per cent of the gate and Kerwin getting 25 per cent. Attendance was 3,182 paid. The bout was staged by the Columbus Dispatch-Ohio State Journal Charities with all proceeds, after expenses, going to charity. A two-match wrestling show Was also staged with former heavyweight champion Jersey Joe Walcott refereeing. Over 2.50 u Da T iy Demccrats are sold and deliver e€ in Decatur each day.
