BIG IMPROVEMENT CAN BESEEN INR'iSE TEAM

Task of Whipping Wabash, however, Promises to be Too Tough for Poly.

liillllE

TO COVER FULLV

WABASH-ROSE POLY G.V5IE

Owing to the importance of tlie Kaine Saturday between the Rose I'oly uud Wabash college football teams, tke flnt on the regular schedule of the local team. The Tribune will send a representative to Crawfordsville to ''cover" the contest. Ralph H. White, sporting: editor, will WTlte for Sunday's Tribune the fall account of the same, play by play, dealing with the event In his own interesting style. Read the Sunday Tribune for the details of the opening struggle.

By Ralph H. White.

Three nights mote of practice and the "Fighting Engineers" will be called upon to face the "Little Giants," secondary champions of the state. Will they compete with any degree of success with the Scarlet?

Hough edges have been smoothed off, team play improved and the. defensive formations bettered, but it looks as if the task was too big for the rrfen of Rose. The old determination is cropping out, but Coach Hal Mefford hasn had enough time to whip iiis proposed combination, into real shape.

On the otl\er hand, Coach Sheeks hr.s a veteran squad to work with. He was on the job at "Wabash last season, and on It with both feet. True, he has lost his two crack ends and his all-state quarter, but he has a world of material, it is said, and shouldn't be i-p ..gainst it for Saturday's game. But the loss of his stars will be felt just the same, and the "Little Giants" of Saturday will not be the same formidable aggregation it was last year.

The men o% Rose are fighting. In practice the mher night two of the linemen "flared up" and it required the services of four huskies to keep the two from indulging in-a fistic encounter. And this isirt any bunk either. If you don't believe us, ask either "Reed" Henry or "Head" Gray.

Here's Probable Lineup.

The Rose lineup hasn't been'selected. It won't until after Friday's scrimmage. But here's a probable lineup that will fc'e worth remembering:

Center, Floyd guards, Henry and Barnes tackles, Davis and Bake end's, Orr and Glynn quarter. Werneke halves, Buck and Holt, and Gafle, fullback.

Other first string men are Yatsko, Anderson, Wagner, Gray, Boring, Grafe, Beyers and Newman.

Watch Buck is said to be the dope in the Wabash camp. Buck is known to be a fast proposition and the Scarlet holds him a worthy foe. He will, no doubt, find himself a marked man in Saturday's tilt, but the fleet-foot isn't worrying. He expects to get away just the same' for soma substantial gains.

Werneke at Quarter'.

To "Wienie" Werneke will fall the field generalship, although it's a safe bet that Coach Hal will "be on the job." The. ex-Wiley high star didn't lfve up to his reputation in the alumni game last Saturday, but he was under orders not to open up^' and therefore •looked bad. But like 'Hhe others, "Wienie" slipped upi a time or two. But who wouldn't so early in the season?

But they're getting together better and with a couple weeks' additional practice Rose should be able to hold Its own with any team in the state. Pity Wabash wasn't booked for a' later date. But as matters now 3tund, it looks Wabash to us. Don't forget, hiwevfer, that the Open style ha3 frequently proven fatal to a supposed best team. No, we are not trying to arouse anv false hopes, but there's a chance. However, if you are bcttingly inclined—put your dough on the "Little Giants," and pray.

A special train will take team and rooters to Crawfordsvllle Saturday. A big crowd is going.

ARRANGE FOR SPECIAL.

Football Filer Will Depart for Crawfordsvllle at 12M0. The Rose Poly football spieclal will depart for Crawfordsvllle Saturday at 12:10.

COACH "SPEEDY" HUSH

PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. 26.—In spite of the loss of eleven of last fall's football men, all of whom had received the 'varsity letter, the Princeton Tigers are hopeful over their present season and expect to form a fast team out of the material on hand this year. Tiger followers have great confidence in the football brains of Co?ich "Speedy" Rush.

Last season, Bush's first year at Princeton, he showed immediate results of his methods and, though the Tigers lost to both Yale and Harvard, thp team showed that Rush's ideas were carrying it fast in the right direction. Rush's business last fall was largely &- matter of establishing, system where disorder had been before. With many of his ideas more perfectly understood he should make even greater strides this season.

There is jrood material on hand thin season at Princeton, even though the

make the trip from the capital city in a special car. A hobo band will render sweet selections on the trip to the lair of the Scarlet, and will be in charge of the seniors and Juniors. The freshmen will have four pieces of artillery on the battlefield, while the 'Rose elerJhant will be in this hands of £he sophs.

The classes at Rose will be dismissed early Thursday morning and a mass meeting on the campus will follow. After the session, the students will march through the downtown streets for the purpose of expending some of the "pep' which is just now overflowing at the local institution.

GIANTS MAY PLAY WHITE SOX IN A POST-SEASON SERIES

CHICAGO,. Sept. ^27.—A post-sea-son series between the New York Nationals and the ChlcnKo Amtrf. cans to take the place of a city championship was discussed today among followers of the game. On account of the uncertainty of the pennant race in both leagues, no negotiations for such a contest have been started, hut Charles. Coiniskey, owner of the local American league team, apparently looked on the proposed series with some favor. "I have heard some talk of a series of that kind," said Co mink ey, "but no one has approached me In regard to «uch games it would undoubtedly be an interesting series, but there are so many obstacles in the way tliat I do not see how the two teams could meet. If Brooklyn win* the pennant, it would, of course, be out of the question, hn I would not invade any pa't of Greater New York while Mr. Ebbrts' team was contending in a world's series."

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.— rne. World's series will open on Saturday, October 7, according to President B, B. Johnson of the American league, who, as 'a member of the national commission, is today ready to begin preparations for the Series. With the race as .uncertain as it is, no final action ha^ oeen taken yet by the national commission, Johnson said. "I am certain that the world's series will start on October 7," .said Johnson. "The contestants might be willing to begin October. 6. but I hardly think so.^ The American league race closes one day earlier than the Nationals, so I do not ^hink that would be fail* to the National league winiier, however, so it looks as If the opening game will be played a week' from next Saturday." "Owing to the uncertainty of the race, we are unable to make any arrangements for thje series, and I don't know whether to start east or remain in the west. The White Sox still have ft chance, but, pf course, in the National league the winner will be an eastern team."

BIG SERIES STARTS.

Red Sox Face Yanks In Next to Last Stand. The series of four games which Starts today between Boston and NewYork will be watched with interest as the championship in the American league probably will be definitely located by the time the last of the s-sries is played. As all of. the American league teams-were idle yesterday, there is no change today in the positions of the three leaders, Boston maintaining a lead of two and one-half games over Chicago and four over Detroit.

Boston is the only one of the three leaders to gro. Into action today, the others allhavlifg open d&les. Tomorrow Chicago will begin a series of four frames with Cleveland, which will end the season for both clubs. Boston has seven games to play, four with New York arid three with Philadelphia. Detroit has only three games left.

In the National league today Brooklyn hfild on to its lead of a single game over Philadelphia, but Boston, by. wining two games from Pittsburgh yesterday, gained half a game and therefore is only three and one-half games behind the leaders.

Through special permission. Pittsburgh and Boston this mOHiin'g will play off their tie of last Saturday, which will add another game to Boston's schedule.

Brooklyn lias eight more, games to play, Philadelphia, nine and Boston twelve.

The second round of games in the city championship series Sunday ought to be even faster than the initial round fast Sunday. The surviving teams are strong and should furnish some classy baseball.

Garfield high appears to have a wonderful team in the making and ought to establish a most brilliant record. And Wiley promises to bear watching also.

MAJOR LEAGUE DOPE

The slender margin of one game still keeps Brooklyn In the van In the gruelling chase of the National league pennant. The leaders had to win Tuesday to retain their place in front, for a defeat in the face of Philadelphia's victory, the latter, by virtue of the lesser number of games it has played, would have taken the lead. Boston, winning twice-, gained half a game and now stands three, and a half games behind Brooklyn.

Philadelphia still has nine games to play, three with Brooklyn and six with Boston Brooklyn has remaining eight Rames, one with Chicago, three with Philadelphia and four with New York Boston has eleven left, five with New York and six with Philadelphia.

The situation is such that New York in fourth place still has a slight chance if it can keep up its great winning streak..

McGraw's men are six and a half games behind Brooklyn, with ten games to play. Should thev take ail ten, their record would be ninety-one won and sixty-two lost. Then If JBrooklyn should win ?only one of it.? eight its record Would be ninety won and sixty-four lost. The standing:
