HIGH SCHOOL GRID ELEVENS TURN INTO STRETCH FOR SCRAPS THAT COUNT IN STATE RACE

PREP BATTLES FRIDAY CARRY TITLE CHANCES Tech-Manual and ShortridgeWabash Games to Supply * Fuel for Dopesters. CITY CONTEST ATTRACTS BY HEZE CLARK. Two high school football games scheduled to be played Friday are of exceptional interest to the followers of the gridiron sport In all parts of the State. Shortridge will play Wabash High School at Wabash. Manual Training High School meets Technical at the Butler athletic field. The latter gatne will have a direct bearing not only on the city championship. but also on the State High School football honors. The game between Shortridge and Wabash is no less important, for no team outside of Indianapolis has shown the class of football equal to the Wabash High School. While it is expected that the Tech and Manual game will draw one of the record crowds of the season, still the results of the Blue and White athletes’ battle against Wabash will be watched with just as much interest Friday. The high school situation in. the State is somewhat mixed. Two teams in Northern Indiana are superior, or at least they are undefeated this year. These teams are Wabash and South Bend. The latter defeated Gary and has been going big. Wabash has a team of veteran football men who have not been halted, piling up many one-sided scores.* and even defeating Elwood, which team is a strong combination. TRAM BOASTS OF CLEAN SLATE. With such stars as Frazier. Showalter, Wilson and the speedy Marks, the Wabash High School team has so far a clean slate. Will Shortridge hare a chance to win? Every north side boy of this city hopes that the Blue and White combination will be returned a winner. The situation Is just this: Both Shortridge and Manual football squads had fewer experienced football players at the start of the season than did Tech. Manual met Wabash High School in the first game of the season and the experienced team from Northern Indiana won, 28 to 0. It was only to be expected that a school where football had been played every year for twentyfive seasons would be able to defeat a school that was starting football again after a vacation of thirteen years. All j of Wabash’s points were scored in the ; first three periods and Coach Evans' ; team came back strong in that last pe- I riod and played Wabash to a standstill. This showed that all the Manual athletes lacked was experience and, had the game been scheduled later In the season, ] the score would have been close. The Shortridge team lost to Bloomfield, one of the best teams of southwestern I Indiana, in the opening game of tbo year, and that defent was due to two things, first to the lack of fotoball experience on the part of the Shortridge athle'es and second to the playing of Kidd, the Bloomfield full back. • j Since that game Coach Julius has taught the Shortridge athletes a lot about 1 now to play the gridiron game. He has developed a line which is equal or superior from tackle to tackle to any other high school line in the State. The five center men on the Blue and White team are the type of line men who can move, and they are aggressive on both the offense and defense, and these men will give the Wabash High School line men battle of their lives. HE’S POWER OX THE DEFENSE. Kilgore, Shortridge full back. Is a wonderful defensive player and this means that Wabash's chances of defeat lng Coach Julius’ team center In the ability of Frazier and Marks to get around the Indianapolis end. or forward pass on the wings. Kilgore's ability to slap down forward passes over the center of the line was so clearly demonstrated in the Shortridge, one-sided victory over Brazil, that It is a sure bet that Wabash will not try forward passes near the big full back, which means over the center of the line. - While it is admitted that Marks of Wabash is probably the fastest runner on any high school team In the State, It ll also stated by critics that Frazier, Ms teammate, is the best half back In the State. Therefore, it Is Frazier and Marks who must be halted by the Shortridge 86. In Clark, right half back. Coach Julius has developed the best punter seen on a high school team in many years. Clark’s toe. If Lusby will call the punt signal when in trouble, will keep Wabash tat from the Blue and White goal line many timer The improvement of the Shortridge team since early in the year is shown best by the comparative score route. Shortridge lost to Bloomfield by about twenty poiuts. Bloomfield trounced Worthington, one of the best teams in the State, but Bloomfield lost to Clinton. The Clinton team scored only a ’JO-to-O victory over Brazil, while Shortridge scored a 48-to-6 win against Brazil a week ago. IMPROVED LINE BOLSTERS TEAM This means that Shortridge Is fifty points stronger than when It lost the first game of the year to Bloomfield and much of this strength is due to the strong line developed by Coach Julius. Will Coach Archie Erehart’s Tech team take the measure of Coach Evans’ Manual machine ? Tec* is the heavier team and Tech has not lost a game, having defeated Kirklin SI to 7, and Newcastle 17 to 0. Both of these opponents, supposed to be strong, were unable to halt the powerful offense of the east end team. Minual, while losing to the powerful Wabash eleven in the first game of the year, has kept its record clean since that time. The improvement of the South Side team has been marked. The 13-to-6 victory over Sheridan (the city made famous bv football) was a big feather In the hat of the Manual coach, for it was a clever forward pass that won the game. In that department Manual was weak In Its first game with Wabash, but strong in Its last game, which was played against Sheridan. This shows team play, and team play is what eleven men must have to win football garrtes. The big contest at the Butler athletic field Friday between Manual and Technical High Schools will be ODe of the most Interesting football games of the year. The big crowd that is sure to witness that game will be well repaid, for they will see In P. Payne of Tech one ot the greatest ends on any high school in the country. Nipper. Griggs and Gleger form a powerful back field for Tech. Wertz and 11. Harmeson are sure to gain much ground for Manual, and then again it must be said that Manual has developed a line that may prove a big surprise to the Tech forward wall. The line Is important and if Manual’s line outplays Tech's line the south side team might defeat the east end eleven, but If the Tech line can outplay the lied and White forward wall then the play of the big Tech back field combination may give that team the edge. It will be some game and the winner will be In line for the city championship and will have some claim to State honors. In the China League HONOLULU, T. H..

Coach Zuppke Is working to improve his offensive play, which showed defects In the game with Michigan. CHICAGO.. CHICAGO —Having snuffed out lowa, a team famous for Us ability -o handle tie forward pass, Stagg's Maroons are less apprehensive of the aerial attack of Ohio State.

Weatherly out-shot Atkinson and the Midwest Engines took three from the Oakes of the Commercial loop. Garing and Underwood got enough lumber to build a village, but the rest of the Electric Steels were In a Blurnp and the Standard Oils won with two measley counts. Silent Walter was among those present in the first two games, but his 201 called for some form of distinction in the last game. Wakcland got the Link Belts away good with his 234 and they proceeded to shut the Interstate Cars out in the cold. Two K. O. wallops by Walters, one of them a 257, paved the way for a Taggart victory over the Ballards. O’Brien of the Gibson quintet slipped in for 222 in his second game. Between Bumb and Brown the Premier Motors were well supplied with double century stuff every time. Malott of the Marmon five had three big scores, his second and third efforts accounting for the downfall of 420 pins.

Cathedral Boys Tune Up for Struggle With Ft. Wayne Here Monday The Cathedral High School football squad Is working hard every day In preparation for Its game with Central Catholic High of Ft. Wayne next Monday at Irwin field. Coach Feeney Is rapidly correcting the defects brought out In the Boys' Prep School game, and has his team moving with clock-like precision. Several new plavs have been given out which are figured to give the upstaters no little trouble. The Ft. Wayne squad is considerably heavier than the local team, and has the advantage of several years of experience, but the local boys expect to overcome this handicap by their speed and welldeveloped aerial attack. The game Monday will go far to settle tne football championship of Catholic high schools in Indiana.

speed man In the Purple back field and It is to check tills fast work that Coach Stiehin cf Indiana Is trying to build his defense this week. Indiana has been made the favorite in the coming battle, but that 1s due to Hoosier sentiment, chiefly because Northwestern really deserves plenty of credit. The Purple bowled over Minnesota in the same manner that Indiana whipped the Gophers and for 'hat reason the outside fan believes the Saturday clash stacks up about even.

Pagemen Preparing for Saturday Tilt With Kentucky Crew Victory Over Earlham Brings Unlimited Stock of Confidence to Christians. Elated over Saturday's victory over Earlham, Butler followers are awaiting the appearance of the Georgetown College eleven on Irwin field next Saturday. Although the result of Saturday's game was entirely satisfactory and properly fitting on such a home-coming occasion, there were a number of things that showed up in the contest that will have to be done away with at once if the Biue and White athletes expect to continue their march to one of the most successful seasons in Butler history Chief of these is the habit of fumbling the ball. Fumbles by Indiana lost to lowa, fumbles by Purdue lost to Chicago, and fumbles by Butler almost lost to Earlham and will he the means of losing to other teams unless remedied right away. The Butler aggregation came through In great physical shape and should be In top condition to take on (he Kentuckians Saturday. Page has started his men on one of the hardest weeks of practice of the season in an attempt to Iron out the defects that came to light Saturday. While little Is known about the strength of the Georgetown eleven, the contest has been regarded as one of the most crucial on the Butler card and the outcome will be watched with interest by local followers. After next Saturday's gums only three more contests will remain on the Butler schedule. Franklin will show at Irwin field the following Saturday In a game that In all probability will determine the final I. C. A. L. leader. Following this contest Page will take bts men to Terre Haute and send them against Uoss Poly In the only away from-homo game of the season for the collegian*. Earlham bolds a 7-to 6 win over the Engineers and, although the dope slightly favors the locals, It Is bound to be a mighty close and interesting scrap. <‘hlcago Y. M. C. A. College comes here Nov. 20 for Butler's season-ending game.

Bartlett of the Indlann Bell Telephone* came 1 like a lion and went out like a scared kitten. I,enry and Noffke kept the Imperial Forges out of hot water In the Manufacturers’ circuit. The former had a double century and two 190 counts, while the latter bad one double hundred and a 160. Ward of the Bernis Bags crashed for crowds of wood In bis first and second games. Holzhuer’s 177 was kindergarten stuff compared with what he got in the other two games. Copeland of the Kingan crew slammed a 134 In the midst of a 208 and 206. Jameson of the Robins Body should have handed In his resignation after he got the 215 count. The same for Kutpple of the National Autos. The Manufacturing Knights were Just about topped by Henderson of the Presto combination when he connected for 232. Pauley of the Nordykes gHve up his sent of honor tn favor of Andrews when the latter hit for 200 twice.

Belgian Balloon Is Winner of Aerial Race; Yank Second CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—The standing of the contestants In the International balloon race was upset today ns Lieut. Richard E. Thompson and Capt. Harold E. Week a of United States Army balloon No. 1 filed a report of their flight with Army authorities here. The balloon and its pilots had been unheard from since Saturday, it landed ten miles south of Charlotte, Mich., at 0:45 Sunday., night. Unofficial reports here today give first place to the Belgian entry, which landed at North Hero, Vt., and second place to the American balloon, Kansas City 11, which landed near Lake George, N. Y. Tribe Spring Training Plans Mention Texas Camp as Likely Spot , With the opening of the stove league season in baseball the Indianapolis club grabs off a sent in the inner clrele by planning its 1021 spring training trip and, according to a statement made by Vice President Smith, efforts are under way whereby the Indians will be taken to Sou Antonio, Texas, for their preliminary training for the next campaign. The New York Giants train in San Antonio und the Tribe officials believe it would be a wise move to take the Hoosiers there In order to get the benefit of practice games with McGraw’s athletes. However, nothing definite has been done other than to make inquiries. It is known, however, that owner Smith will agree to a long southern trip only if all the regular players report. He says the benefit of a training jaunt is lost when a few of the mainstay players refuse to report until late or until the squad returns from the Swuth.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26,1920.

STIEHM URGES BETTER SPEED IN I. U. CAMP Must Have It, Says Coach, if Northwestern Is Going to Be Beaten. FOR INDIANAPOLIS GAME Special to The Times. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 26.—Coacn “Jumbo" Stlehm roared and ranted, tore bis hair and shook his fists, and gave vent to comment —in most cases unpleasant—while lie drove the Crimson at breakneck speed until long after dark last night In the first of his final workouts for the Northwestern game at Indianapolis Saturday. There was no getting around the fact that Stiehm has heard unpleasant tidings from Evanston and is doing his best to get the Crimson into shape to meet the changed conditions. BETTING CHANCE LOOKS EVEN A week ago the average Indiana sideliner here would have been willing to wager his bottom dollar that Indlann would win from Northwestern by two touchdowns. Today it would be hard to fiud one who would wager anything that the Crimson has better than an even break. “When Stiehm is worried, watch out!’ is the wav they sees about It. Stiehm 'is switching his line up almost constantlv these days in a last-minute effort to find the right combination for use against the Evanston team. No one knows what the final line ug will be. but almost every one here believes that It will be very different than that which faced Minnesota at Minneapolis ,ten days ago. From reports that have filtered out from the new gymnasium, it is thought that Stiehm has found ‘that Northwestern lias remedied her only weak spot—her weakness in the line. It was to this fact that scouts who saw the Wisconsin game at Madison a week ago attribute her defeat nt the hands of the Badgers. With the line strengthened it Is feared here that the rather slow-moving, but extremely powerful Indiana line will have trouble breaking up the lightning-like end runs and off tackle smashes from punt formation, which form the greater, part of the Purple offense. HOOSIEK ENDS MUST IE ALERT. All these things have caused Stiehm j to trv desperately to increase the Crlm-j son's speed, for if Northwestern a jlne will h ■al the fast Purple backs may run tings around the Crimson wings unless the wingmen speed Up. : Indiana Is in good condition for the , fray at Indianapolis, and wilt have no alibi to offer if Northwestern should come back a* she did Hgalnst Minnesota. Interest among the Indiana students here Is Intense, far surpassing that maul- j fested In the Minnesota and Notre Dame games at Indianapolis last year, there will be hardly a student In Bloomington next Saturday. IRISH TRAIN FOR CADETS NO’TRE DAME, Ind., Oct. 26 Today and yesterday were good day, B * or ., in „ turtles on Carter field, so the Notre Dame gridiron athletes called themselves mud turtles an.l sallied forth for two of the busiest practice sessions they k*VS since the football stage hands hoisted the I*3o curtain. „ . Saturday afternoon at 'V*' Dame meets the Army and l oach Knute Rockne is calling for real, ho neat-to-goodness drills th-se days, whether they be in rain, hall or fair weather. To sav the least, George Gipp ana his mates are ready to give the t *det* a spanking tbut will make them eat off ol wall mantels for the next two weeks The big, brainy, powerful half back, around whom Rock is molding a Notre Dame football machine of regul* tion N. I>. caliber, will throw so many passes around the Cadets Saturday that they will think some manufacturer has a lot of representatives up in the stands throwing out samples. Then, Army fellows will hnve to be right In there on their little tootsies all the time or they wilt find the Notre Dame straight football machine, which i ►<*tr tban. it has been in years, flying down the field in a manner most amazing. The Notre Dame team of bhis season is one of o*k strength from one end to the other, and if everything *>"<• "ell with the Irish defense the West Pointers will find themselves showing all they know to gain the slightest distance toward the Notre Hume goal. Rockne realizes that he is not tak ns hla men on a picnic trip when he takes them to W.-st I'tHnt. He knows the Army w tough vlan to meet, but he knows lust in well that his b'ds will battle to the end. and he is confident that they will come through with the count against the Army. big problem faces de pauw GREEN-CASTLE, Ind. Oct. 26. -Next to the De Pauw Centre football game in Indianapolis Nov. the Tiger grtdsters probably will face .the barrel tilt of the season on McKeen field Friday afternoon when they meet the heavy Valparaiso eleven. The result of this contest will have direct bearing on the probable outcome of the Centre game, and ought to give a | fair prediction of what De Pauw can j do w ith such an outfit, 1 Hard practices will fie the lot of the I Tiger squad this week. No practlee 1 could be held on McKeen field Monday afternoon because of the heavy tlowni pour of rain. j Coach Buss intends that the Tigers [ shall put every ounce of their strength r Into the Valpo game, which he proposes to start with ills most formidable line-up. At present members of the De Pauw squad are said to be In good physical condition, and barring accident, will be In high spirits for the contest. Valparaiso will bring an eleven to De Pauw that surprised Eastern critics by holding Harvard scoreless In two per lods. For two periods this eleven outj played the fast Notre Dame team. PURDUE AND WABASH READY LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Oct. 26. Everything is hustle and bustle with the Furdue football aggregation these days. The Little Giants of Wabash come here Saturday for their annual tilt und It is thought that one of the toughest battles of the season will be fought when the Rquads swing Into action, Purdue Is the favorite to wiu, but the time has not yet. come when Wabash and Purdue gridiron battles pass without the loser giving the winner a tight from line to line. Both Purlue and Wabash were fairly well represented on the hospital list a few days ago, but at this time both mentors have ordered the crutches and bandages back on the shelf and are driving squads of physically fit men hard in preparation for the Saturday struggle. The l’urdue students are pointing to their Chicago game and the Wabash Chicago game lyeythe real dope dispenser of the coining flit. The Chicago score over Wabash was double that over Purdue. However, the W'abash combination looked much better against Rose Saturday than it has all year and there is a cliance, a slight one, that the dope bucket will be tossed about from pillar to post by the Scarlet. 808 MARTIN TONIGHT. BOSTON. Oct. 26. - Bob Martin, heavyweight champion of the A. K. F., and Larry Williams, the study heavyweight of Bridgeport. Conn., meet in the main go of ten rounds to a decision nt the big Mechanics' Pavilion tonight. This will be Martin's first appearance In a bout in the East.

Local Grid Eleven Meets Anderson in Sunday Battle Here Fast Starlands Will Find Indianapolis Fighting Hard to Tear Off Victory. .Toe Canning's (Indianapolis footballers will get a chance to redeem themselves with Indianapolis fans when they tackle the Anderson Starlands, formerly the lAnderson Remys, in their second homo game at Washington Park Sunday. The Starlands are coming hero with a record similar to that of the local combination, haring lost but one game this season. They were defeated by the .Sheridan team by a close margin in an early game, but since that time they have been going great guns, defeating the crack Richmond team by a hugh total Sunday. Canning believes that his athletes simply ran into the off-day proposition Sunday and is confident that they will put up a much classier brand of football to defeat the Starlands than they did ngainst the Muncle crew In their first home appearanee. If necessary, he will inject new talent Into the lineup to do away with the few weak places that showed In the Tiger tilt. Lack of team work was one of the big drawbacks of the Indianapolis team, but Canning is not worrying much about this. In their three games away from home, the locals worked like a well-oiled piece of machinery and be believes they will get back In their old stride when they take the field for their second effort before local fans. The opening pro contest was one that made a big hit with the fans, even though their favorites lost, because of the speed of the two elevens and the absence of “dirty” playing. Both combinations worked hard, but worked under the rules, and it Is believed that those who witnessed it will be buck for more .Sunday. The Indianapolis team will be sent through a stiff scrimmage with a local amateur eleven Wednesday evening.

THIS CITY IS FOOTBALL CENTER

The time is coming, and that very shortly, when Indianapolis will see more big football games that any city in the Middle West. This was the statement of India in University alumni today, after canvassing the results of their first week's efforts tn advance of the Northvv'ostern-Indjana game to be played at Washington Park next batui day. “Indianapolis residents who have not heretofore manifested more than pustting Interest tn the great American college game are now enthusiastic fans,” said Dick Miller, chairman of the general committee in charge of the arrangements for this game. “Hundreds of high school students

Gipp of Notre Dame Mentioned for 1920 All-American Squad Gridiron Crowded With Other Stars Placing Early Bids for Highest Honors. By JACK VEIOCK. International News Hports Editor. NEW YORK, Oct. 26,—There Is ■ fine nightmare In store for the experts who will select all-American elevens this fall, according to present indications. The football firmament is already full ; of stars and the current, season Is 'only a little more than half played out. Many big games to come are bound to develop more heroes. Back field talent. particularly, is plentiful. And what an epidemic of crack quarterbacks! "Bo” McMillln, ranking quarter of 1010, has lost no prestige. If auything he gained a little against Harvard. Kenny Boynston, Wil- [ Hams’ crack captain anil quarter. Is Just as brilliant as he was In 1910. He has 1 scored eighty-four points this season, and leads all players iu the individual scoring list. Murphy of Yale, Buell and Fitzgerald of Harvard, Ix>urle and Murrey of Princeton, Carey of Cornell, Dunn of Michigan, and Boh Fletcher of Illinois, are shining brightly. Way, Penn State; Flowers, Georgia Tech; Oss. Minnesota; Gipp, Notre Dame: Mayer, Cornell; Owen and Churchill, Harvard; Garrity, Prlnrton; Stincbcomh. Ohio State; Beck. West Virginia; Kelly, Yale; Moore, Nebraska: Lawrence, Army; Kaw, Corhell, and Davies, Pitt, are among the half backs who are showing great form. Arnold Horween. captain and full back of the Harvard team, who is also j a kicker of ability, stands out among the full hacks. Scbeerer of Princton: Struss. Penna; Crangle, Illinois and ftnhen, Minnesota are all gfeat full barks. The Itneßinen are looming up as per usual. Uullck of Syracuse is one of the best tackles in the country. Faxon. Harvard: Keck. I‘rlnceton; Dickens of Yale and others too numerous to mention will give the experts something to puzzle over In selecting tackles. Gullek. of course, stand* out n an almost sure shot for one tackle position. The other line positions have developed no great outstanding stars, though there are many good centers and guard*. Tto- dearth of really good ends is noticeable this season.

In winch -we doublecross a master mind

who have felt no personal touch with the game now have their own teams. Wabash, De Pauw, Butler and Indiana are making Indianapolis the scene of their biggest games. The game* of one school help those of others, and all help to foster and Increase the Interest In football here. “I believe that It can truthfully be said that Indianapolis will see more big gapies this fall than any other city in the Middle West, with the possible exception of Chicago.” Notwithstanding poor weather conditions, the advance seat sale for the Northwestern game at the Clark & Cade drug store is far in advance of the sale for the corresponding dates in advance of the Minnesota and Notre Dame games here last year.

BASEBALL JURY HEARS GAMBLER Rothstein Expected to Tell of Certain Corruption. CHICAGO, Oct. 2C.—lmportant information concerning alleged corruption of major league baseball players by dishonest gamblers was expected by the grand jury here today from Arnold Rothsteln, wealthy New York gambler, and Joe Gedeon, second baseman of the St. Louis Browns. Both Rothstein and Gedeon are in Chicago, waiting to testify. Rothstein has been mentioned ns one of the gamblers said to have been approached by Abe Attell, former featherweight champion. In an effort to induce him to participate In the 'fixing” of the 1010 world’s series. Officials here are inclined to believe that Rothstein had no part In the “frame-up,” but believe he can give information that will aid them to discover the real Instigators Os the plot. Gedeon conferred with Assistant States Attorney Iteplogle soon after bis arrival 1 here, and is understood to have denied nny knowledge of the 1019 scandal, although admitting that he won S6OO betting on the Cincinnati Reds against the White Sox. It is believed that the grand Jury Is nearing the end of its investigation. President Ban Johnson of the American League announced Monday that an In- j formal conference of the American League j club owners would be held this week to j discuss plans for maintaining peace in baseball. Philip Ball, president of the St. Louis Americans. Is expected here for a conference with Presblent Johnson concerning the proposed reorganization of baspball. It is probable that the date for the American League conference will l>e set .it that time. Southern Golf Play NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26- Mrs. David ; Gaut of Memphis carried off low medal- !
