COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL ELEVENS PUT FINISHING TOUCHES TO TEAMS FOR WEEK’S TESTS

CRIMSON TOPS OFF WORK FOR BATTLEHERE Indiana Eleven to Spring Neaz*iy Entire New Line of Attack Saturday. ROOTERS COMING STRONG Special to The Times. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct, 28.—Clearing skies and a drying gridiron this morning provided a good opportunity for the Crimson’s final worta-out before the Northwestern game at Indianapolis Saturday. Coach "Jumbo” Stiehm planned to send his huskies through more than three hours of hard signal drill. The Crimson trunks then will be packed for the team's early morning start for Indianapolis tomorrow. Everything In the Indiana category of plays waa to be rehearsed this afternoon. But special emphasis was to be put on the new plays which Coach Stiehm has prepared for the benefit of Northwestern. FORMES I. r. MEN AT NORTHWESTERN'. A peculiar situation confronted the Crimson coaches when they started preparations for the Purple game almost two weeks ago. Dana M. Evans, director of athletics at Northwestern, was n member of the Crimson coaching staff from 1017 i to 1010. While here, he coached the irishman team-,, and knows the Stiehm style of attack first-hand. Jesse I>. , Ferguson, for years trainer of Crimson teams, left Indiana last summer to become trainer at Northwestern. The combined knowledge of tbtse two men takes in practically every play the Crimson has used since Goach Stiehm came to Indiana In 1918. This fact has caused Stiehm to lie awske nights devising plays that neither Evans nor Fer- : guson knows. 'ine result probably will be an assortment of trick plays, forward pass formations and line bucks that have not been seen in Big Ten games in the last few years, for Stlehm’s teams at Indiana since 1916 have been noted for the wide range of standard plays they have used. FIST/tCE ONLY HTjtK AILING. When the Crimson squad boards the Monou tomorrow morning It will be physically fit. Only Pierce. Indiana's 1 giant center, is nursing an injury of; consequence. His right ankle. Injured la j the Minnesota game, still Is hotbing him. Thirty-three players will make the trip Jo Indianapolis, and the yearlings will accompany the special trains which will carry Indiana students Saturday morn- 1 log. otiehm has not announced his line-up for the Saturday fray, in line with his i general policy to keep his men fighting Tor their positions until the final selection Is made a few minutes before the squad trots on to the gridiron. It Is thought, however, that Klslev and llamiy will be at ends, France and Leonard at tackea. Mumby and McCuw at guards, and Pierce at center, In the line: and Mathys at quarter, Williams and Minton at halves, and Kyle at full. The largest crowd of students that ever accompanied an Indiana team to Indianapolis will leave here Saturday moruins on special trains. The supply of student tickets already has been exhausted and it is' the university officials will appeal to 'the Indianapolis Alumni Association for ,tn additional block of seats. The rapid sale In Indianapolis, however, may prevent a compliance with this request. and many students probably will stand- to see ttse game. IRISH LEAVE FOR EAST SCU TE BENI). Ind.. Oct. 28.—Notre Dantes footballers, twenty-four strong, and as confident as gridiron gladiators come, hopped on a rattler here this afternoon and were off for West Point, where they stack Into the Army in their annual grid tilt Saturday. Coach Cockue didn't have much to say before the train pulled out of the s‘atoln, except that Notre Dame would win and that he knew of a few cadets who were In for the surprises of their young lives. Hundreds of students and residents of South Bend cheered the athletes on their way. It is believed that Rochne plans to use Gipp, Grant. Anderson and Kiley as his main fighting points against the Annv. Brandy probably will start the game at quarter, but Grant is a clever and fast player and It is a cinch that he will be In there some time to get on the receiving end of Gipp's passes, along with Kiley and Anderson. CHICAGO. CHICAGO —No team that has opposed the Chicago eleven this year has been able to work the forward passing game successfully and the Maroons are certain they can stop the aerial attack of the Ohio outfit Saturday. Special plans are being laid to mess up the overhead shots of Workman, which nre a feature cf the Buckeye play. Local Grid Outfit Shows Speed Galore in Warm Scrimmage With Monte Boaz and Fred Hanley, former De Pauw athletes, working in the back field, and every man on the team working hard to Jump back into his winning stride, the Indianapolis Football Club ran rampant through the ranks of a fast amateur eleven in scrimmage last night. The cool weather put a lot of pep into the men, they hit hard and after the drill were confident of their ability to take Anderson Into camp next Sunday in their second game at Washington Park. Manager Canning is not letting the Indianapolis grblders loaf this week. Tonight they will hold blackboard drill at 419 Indiana avenue, and tomorrow night he will bring them out for another scrimmage. The Anderson team, booked here Sunday, is one tuat has tacked up a good record in several yejrs of playing, and this will not be their first appearance In Indianapolis. They have l>een here on two previous occasions for games with fast local elevens and went home both times with another notch tarred in their victory stick. This time, however, they will run into a husky lot of athletes who •ire anxious to rub off the stain of the defeat suffered last week la their first appearance before an Indianapolis crowd. Hanley, the latest addition to the local hack field, is a player of no mean •ability, and can be relied upon to teer off some clever gains Sunday. Boaz, veteran college and Independent grldster, showed all his old form In practice last night, and when he and Uog Klein start hitting the Anderson line Sunday something is bound to happen. Erchart Fixes Dummy and Now Tech Boys Can't Tackle Its Neck If there is anything that Coach Archie Erehnrt at Technical High School has put stress on It is low and hard tackling. He has begged and pleaded with nis men all season to tackle a man as low as possible and equally ns hard. Despite hla efforts in the two games that the east siders hare engaged In, their tackling has been their weak point and men carrying the ball have been grabbed around the neck, by the arms or any other way that cams bandv and didn’t require much effort. When the players reported for practice this week they were surprised to see that the familiar tackling dummy had undergone some radical changes. Erehart has had two-by-fours fastened to the dummy from the waist ‘ up and the only safe place to hit It now Is some place around the knees.Although the athletes went at it rather carefully at first, they are now hitting K with a vim and needless to say caceedingly low. Therefore, their tackling lu the Manual game should come up to finest expectations.

OVER THE CHALK MARKS WITH lIEZE CLARK

Eastern critics will watch George Gipp, the Notre Dame football star. In action against the Army at West I’oint Saturday. Gipp will show the followers of the gridiron sport in the East that the forward passing game used by Western teams is far superior to that of the Eastern elevens. Waiter Camp slfbuld put Gipp on his All-American team this year. Clark's toe may win the game for Sbortridge High School against Wabash High School at Wabash Friday. The Blue and White athlete is the best high school punter in the State. Manual vs. Technical at Butler athletic field Friday. Don’t miss that game. Mr. Football Fan, for it is the first of the series for the city high school championship. Nebraska will play Itutgers at New York Tuesday, and Derm state at State College, Pa., Saturday, Nov. 0." The team from Lincoln muj win the first game, but Coach Hugo Bezdeks Penn State team is too strong for Nebraska. Football fans of Indianapolis want to see Shortridge play Bloomfield' High School again this season. Get busy. Manager Tatlock. The manager of the Wabash High School team, when In Indianapolis recently, stated he would like to schedule a game for Ills team with Technical High School, to be played at Washington Park Nov. 20. the same day that Wabash College and De Pauw University meet at that park. Wabash has played Manual and wi.l meet Shortridge Friday, and a game with Technical would go big. Garfield High School seems to have the best of the prep school football teams in Terre Haute this year. Valparaiso meets De I’auw at Greencastle Frlduy. It is the big college battle of the day and football scouts from many colleges will spend Friday afternoon In Greeneastle. A few years ago Sheridan High School developed a wonderful half back In Williams. Each year the Dally Times AllState selection named Williams as the beat of the high school back field men. That man is playing left half back on Indiana University 'at present and the followers of the gridiron sport will watch the play of the big light-haired back Saturday at Washington Park with much interest, as Williams has a tdg reputation In control Indiana. He will

Oh, Listen to the Gloom Stuff From Northwestern Camp Purple Feels Itself Slipping Already, but Then Bear Stories Are Permissible. • V CHICAGO, 0.-t. 2* There Is no overconfidence felt by members of the Northwestern Vnrsity football eleven over Saturday's contest with Indiana at Indianapolis. In fact, the members of the team feel they will have to do their utmost to hold the shifty and resourceful Ilooslers to a low score, to say nothing of defeating them. ’Northwestern suffered so many injuries and setbacks Immediately following her victory over Minnesota that she was wholly unprepared to meet the Cardinals at Madison Oct. Id, and since that tiraa has been fighting the same Jinx. Right after the Minnesota game. Turner, one of the star linemen, was put out of busiress tn a practice scrimmage and may not play the rest of the season. Three other members of the \arsity also took on splints and hobbles, but they went Into the Wisconsin game, notwithstanding. and did creditably under the clrcnuistances. Hence Coach MeDevltt's task has been difficult, jle has had some fairly good material, but this is his first season with Northwestern as head coach and he had to begin virtually at the eiemen far_v stage of football tactics, since the program of the coaches of the year be- 1 tore was not his McDevitt was a star i guard on the Yale varsity ten years ago ' and inter assisted Dr. Williams at Minnesota In coaching the varsity there; later lit* was at Northwestern as assistant coach under Fred Murphy, but bis work cerainly was cut out for hlitr- this year when he took up the football directorship. McDevitt is striving with some success to inspire the I‘urple squad with the fighting spirit, and despite the fact that at times the Northwesterners play poor football, most of them are "fighting fools" in the heat of the fray. Northwestern University has an extensive alumni scattered over all parts of the globe, but they are most numerous In the Middle Western States. These alpmnl are watching the team this year carefully and are showing their pride In the fact that while the Purple may loie a game here and there, they fight till the last whistle blows. The last week has been rainy, with a soggy field for practice, but McDevitt and assistant coaches have been making the gridiron athletes "go to it" day after day. Thus, while the men say they will do their best against Indiana. there is a feeling that they are up against the game of their lives Saturday. The line-up Saturday afternoon is unsettled, but unless the old Jinx continues on the job and puts out some other good men it looks like the following will start against Indiana; Hathaway, center; Graham, Penfleld and Magnuson, guards; Henry Penfleid and Gassier, tackles; Ewing and Shearon, [ends; Lane and Grausiiick, half backs; ; Palmer, quarter, and Patterson, full back. Fisherman’s Regatta Is Attracting Huge Crowd HALIFAX, Oct. 28.—Americans are i pouring into Halifax from all points by : boat and train for the international : fishermen's regatta race between the ; Gloucester schooner Esperanto and the I Nova Scotia schooner Delawanna, on Saturday night. Captain Marty Welch and his crews ; started early today to clear the decks i of the Esperanto for the contest, and I expect to have everything in shipshape | before night. The local experts who have given the American craft the “once over" express the opinion that she will carry off the cup. Eastern Grid Gossip PITTSBURGH. PlTTSßUßGH—University of Pltt*bnrgh football players this afternoon had 1 their final hard .vork-out before their battle with Lafayette here Saturday, i Coach Warner declares Ills men are in fine condition.

Baugher and Livingston are all in shape to start Saturday's game iu the back field fori Cornell against Rutgers and It was Believed today that Coach Doblo will idle two seta of backs.

I give Northwestern something to worry about. Chicago meets Ohio State at Chicago •Saturday. These two teams have not | been defeated this year. The winner will j hate a st ong claim to first honors in | the Big Ten Conference, but, of course, Illinois University will have something to 1 say about that championship honor. Purdue defeated De Pauw, but lost to Chicago and Ohio Stute. Wabash won from Transylvania and Rose Poly, but lost to Chicago. Purdue and Wabash meet at Lafayette Saturday. Coach Evans of Manual has developed a powerful line at the South Side school. Coach Erehart also has given much attention to the forward wall of his Technical High School team. These teams clash Friday and the playing of the line men may be the factor that will bring victory to oue of the schools. Watch tne line men charge low and hard, and give those line men credit for most of the gains made by the ba'k field. Coach Julius of Shortridge has shifted ItUey to quarter. Kile.v played left half back at Sbortridge, and the way that hoy kept going in the Brazil game Indicated ho Is a real football player. He has the fight, and as quarter back he will put the pep Into the Blue and AVhife team which will give the ludlauapolis combination a chance to defeat Wabash High School. Strobl, right end at Franklin College, In the game against De Pauw last (Saturday, gave the best exhibition of speed in going down the field under punts and tacaling that any end his shown this season. He did the same thing against Indiana University in the first game of the year. The play of c’trohl stamps him as olio of the best ends in the State this season. The weather is cold and this means more pep will he shown by the football players In their games Friday and Saturday. The season Is almost half over and the Important games of the yeHr are really Just starting. Therefore the roaches will uncover their trick plays and op.m up against their opponents this week. This means that football will be more Interesting to watch during the remaining games of the year. Butler has been going Mg this year. Conch Pat Page has developed a tenia the equal of which has not represented the Indianapolis college In many years. Butler plays Georgetown at the Butler athlettc field Saturday. The Kentucky team Is famous for Us speed and trick plavs and the game in Irvington Is sure jto be well worth seeing.

CHAMP BATTLE MAY GO LIMIT Finish Fight Between Jack and Georges at Havana Now Planned. BY HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK. Oct. 28. Tin* time, the plsce. the money, but no fighters—that's the fix Tex Rickard s world's championship heavyweight fight was In today The light Is to be held at the Havana race track in February—ls Deiupsey and Carpentier sign. However, there 1s little doubt that the kings of the American and European ring will sign. As soon is th** represmtatlve of a Cuban syndicate that is to put up RoOO.OOO for the nout arrives In New York, the Wans will be as-mnoled again and the two principals will sign the agreement that has already 1 eon accepted by them, Rickard said today. Rickard's announcement that the tic l " would take place in Havana early In tl.e year proved a surprise. It had been expected the bout would be staged close to New York. Although It wa.-> not made public, it Is expected the flsnt will be to a finish The official affixing ol the signatures, scheduled for yesterday, fell through when Jack Kearns, manager of the chain . pion, refused to sign. He ohtetced to the provisions for the posting of the foO.OOO forfeits demanded of the principals Rickard and his fellow promoters. Charles R Cochran and William Brady, agreed to allow the forfeits to be placed In the hands of a bonded stakeholder instead of a trust company and the agreement was redrawn. Kearns and Deschamps, malinger of the Frenchman, were summoned later to look over the new agreement and both approved After the meeting Rickard an uounced that the fight would be held in Hnvana during the racing season early In the year and that the papers would be signed in a few days. Carpentier looked like a clothing ad yesterday. He wns dressed up In a fancy grey suit and a loud silk shirt. Dempsey looked llks a Klondike pros peefor. He had forgotten to shave for several days and was rather dusty after some work on the road and around over the golf links. ‘Tin in my workin’ clothes. Didn't ex pect to do any calling today," the champion said. He greeted the Frenchman with a slap on the back and “How are you. George?" The Frenchman was lust 'fas pleasant. Dempsey got a good look at Carpentier. Carpentier caught him at it and Dempsey laughed. "Zat ees a million dollare smile," Carpentier said. Name Probable Sitje for Municipal Net Headquarters Here A municipal tennis clubhouse and courts, operated along the order that the city's five golf courses are handled. Is the present objective of the officers of the Associated Tennis Clubs of Indianapolis, James 11. Lowry, superintendent 1 of public parks, and It. Walter Jarvis. ! director of recreation. At the annual flnnl meeting of the Associated Clubs yesterday at the TJni- | versity Club this plan for one big club I for the accommodation of every tennis I player In the city was brought out and I discussed by the tenuis lenders and recre- ; ation directors of the city. And when the meeting was adjourned -everybody seemed well pleased with the prospects of having such an Institution, as explained, by Superintendent Lowry. Lowry stated that the park board has severnj times been brought to consider the speed with which tennis Is gaining popularity in the city, and the metni bers have often suggested having, beI sides thg various public park courses, one lilg- municipal headquarters, meaning a | clubhouse that will be second to none In the city and from thirty to fifty of the ! best courts that can be built. Players desiring to use the courts ! would do sb free of rharge, but n small yearly and dnily fee would be charged | for the use of the clubhouse, lockers and showers. Lowry stated yesterday that in his j mind there was but one real spot for ; the location of this club, and that is in the fair grounds. After the State Fair Board directors finish their building program, the park board Is to make sidewalk and road improvements and install park features on the lawns. In return for the money spent, the park hoard Is to have use of the ground as an amateur athletic center fifty-pne weeks of the year, the other time to be taken up by the fair, it Is Lowry’s suggestion that the tennis courts and club be built on the fgir grounds.

ATHLETES AND STUDENTS SET FOR BIG GAME Manual-Tech Opening Intracity Football Battle Tomorrow Has Fans Agog. FAST FRAY PROMISED The football combinations built up by Coach Archie Erehart of Technical and Coach Ray Evans of Manual will come to grins on Irwin field tomorrow afternoon In the first Intracity gridiron battle of thirteen years, and the first in the history of the east side institution. The contest promises to lie a bitter struggle, both on the field anil on the side lines. The two teams are putting the finishing touches to their hard, faithful training under the direction of expert coaches, and the students of the two schools are passing every spare moment In boosting their favorites nml tuning up thronts for an hour or more of rfiot ing that will certainly make the residents of Irvington know that something much more than an afternoon tea party Is being held on the Butler College grounds. As the athletes are mastering their plays, so are the students mastering their yells and the afternoon will bring about two sorts of contests—one by schedule, the other automatically. PLAYERS REPORTED IN FINE SHAPE. The two teams appear fairly evenly matched. Neither holds a noticeable advantage in weight or experience, and both nre being taught their lessons by men who have played the college game. The mentors have whipped their men Into the stnge of physical perfection, or as near that as possible, and have Instilled them with a spirit of fight that win not die, even with a defeat. Tech may be decidedly stronger than Munual at one position, right end. but Manual comes right hack with the strongest point at right half. I’erry I’ayne is the Technical right end. and ho probably is the best wing man In the Indianapolis high schools at this time. He Is tall, standing head and shoulders over his teammate, a bard player with tome experience, and a wizard at receiving forward passes. And when he gets a pass, Payne knows howto run In the general direction of a goal post. Ills height gives him a big advantage over opposing players, ns he can reach out over their heads and pull the ball down. "Dutch" Wertz Is the George Gipp of the Manual hack field. This grid hustler 1* a footballer that one could hardly hope to find in the first year of Indianapolis high school football. lie wc'ks on the right side of the It.vl an 1 Whit* hack field, and when his signal is called, the Manual boys can Just about figure on from a Hiri-e to ten-yard inarch up the field He circles around the end like a rabbit, or tears Into a line like a human buttering ram. It was ills brilliant playing and hard fighting that brought Manual a victory over Sheridm In the last seconds of play. With less than a minute to go and the ball in mid field, recently, Wertz started battering through the .bherldnu line and never stopped until lie had crossed the goal for a victory.

Oct. 28.—Ban Johnson, president of the American Leaguo. and the five club owners who are supporting him In the league’s “Internal warj faro." will arrive here tomorrow to discus* their attitude toward the ultimatum recently served upon them by the three club's opposed to Johnson’s control of ] the league.

MINORS WARIToF ‘LASKER PLAN ’ NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Denial that the majority of the minor leagues are In favor or the "Lasker plan" to reorganize baseball was made here today in a statement by David L. Fultz, president f the International League. Fultz, the first minor league chief to publicly oppose the plan being advocated by John Heydler find eleven major league dub owners, said the "Lasker plan” benefits only the major leagues. He objected to having the minors placed under a governing body In the choice of which they have no voice. He argued that the minor* have more money tnvested, cover more territory and have more players than the major leagues and they are very successful under their present government. "The 'Lasker plan.* *' he sold, “provides that the board la to be composed of men of national repute. The greater the national repute of the men aelected the leas they will know about the legislation, the customs and traditions of the game and the peculiarities of the players. “If the major* wish to re establish relations with the minora they must submit some proposition which gives tis full control of our own affairs and an equal control of our affairs with them.” DENIES COM MY WAS INFORMED CHICAGO, Oct. 28.
