INDIANAPOLIS FANS GET THEIR SHARE OF SATURDAY’S FEATURE FOOTBALL OFFERINGS

TIGERS CLOSE WORK FOR TILT WITH COLONELS Buss Has Army of Thirty Huskies in Shape for Washington Park Battle. STUDENTS WILL PARADE GRBBNCASTLE, Ind.. Nov. s—r> Ftow gridstsrs held their final practice ob McKean field this afternoon in preparation for the big game of the season arlth the famous Centere eleven at Washington Park, Indianapolis, Saturday. Only a abort practice was held this afternoon, consisting of signal drill, catching forward passes, and running down under punts. Coach Buss intends to take hla squad to Indianapolis Saturday In excellent physical condition. The last hard scrimmage was held on Wednesday af-.ernoon, when the te-un stayed on the field until after dark and practiced with a ‘ ghost" ball ( football which had been painted white). Thursday's practice was similar to the one held tnls afternoon, but was somewhat longer. . Thirty men will make the trip to Indlanapollc as members of the Tigar varatty squad, Coach Buss has announced. Thia Will allow plenty of material for substitutions in case of injuries. The teem will be quartered at the SeTerin Hotel. No statement as to the probable line-up for the big tilt could be obtained. It is certain, however, that Buss will use his most formidable line-up from the outset of the game. The Tiger mentor has never placed any faith In the stories Issuing from the Centre camp concerning injuries, and expects his athletes to face the best line-up the Colonels ean produce. TIGERS LOSE TWO STABS. When the whistle blows for the beginning of the Centre contest the Tigers will be without two oftheir strong'men, Jacobs and Bryan. Jacobs was lost through dismissal from the school Tuesday morning and Bryan received a badly injured knee in prictace Tuesday evening. Jacobs bas played at the right guard position this year, which was his third season with the Tigers. Bryan has played both in the back field and in the line. Despite these losses, the Tiger squad has not slackened one lota in Its practice speed and determination to win the big tilt. Tickets for the game have been placed •n sale here, and a record crowd is expected to accompany the team to Indianapolis on the special train. Both to? De Pauw band and drum corps will make the trip and will take part in the big parade on arriving in Indianapolis. Previous to the game a cross-country ran between De Pauw nnd Indiana University thinly-clads will be held. The runners will start from tbe Indianapolis Canoe Club, foliow Thirtieth street to ths River road, and finish at Washington Park. Each BCbool will enter six men. There will be fivo counting places. The run will be approximately foue miles in length. Those who will represent De Psuw in the run are: Pond, Myers, Kenneth Mason, Reed, Austin and Suape. CENTRE HAVING

TOUGH BREAKS DANVILLE, Kj\, Nov. s.—The famous Centre football eleren stands a good chance- to suffer defeat when It stacks Into the De Pauw eomb:.iation In Indianapolis Saturday, Coach Morgan announced definitely today that Weaver, Centre’s all-American center, and Roberts. the fighting Colonel full back, both "will be out of the game, and the remainder of the team is so battered up that It hardly will be able to play anywhere Dear Its regular form. When Moran lost Roberts and Wearer for Saturday’s game he also lost his kickers. Weaver and Roberts have been doing the kicking for Centre all season, and there Is not another man on the team who can do the trick, unless It be “Bo" MeMillin, all-American quarter back. The Centre team ran through a stiff drill last night and today Coach Moran was putting the shine on the l>e Pauw preparation stunts. The line has been given more than usual attention this week, as the strength of De Pauw’s forward wall has never failed to give the Kentuckians a lot of worry. It fnay be that Nnnnley, varsity guard, will be among those missing when the squad boards the rattler this evening, as he had developed what appears to be a case of mumps. The loss of this man will put Centre in a pitiful condition. But with all their drawbacks the Centre athletes are showing all their old fight and are determined to give Coach Bnsa’ Tigers the fight of their young lives. Mayor Charles w. Jewett of Indianapolis had wired Mayor Smith of Louisville an invitation to attend the game Saturday. Mayor Jewett is a former De Pauw athlete. Eastern Grid Gossip PRINCETON. PRINCETON Princeton supporters were enthusiastic today over the announcement that the Tigers will have their etar baokfield quartet—Don Lourie, Joe Scherr, Garrify and Gilroy, in the game against Harvard. The squad left here last night for Cambridge. CORNELL. NEW YORK—Cornell's football squad, headed by Coach Dobie. arrived here today for the Dartmouth game. Dartmouth a players will stop over at New Rochelle tonight and come on to the city tomorrow. Alumni and undergraduates of the two schools will attend a smoker here tonight. FITTSPCBGH. PITTSBURGH —A special train carrying the Pitt football squad, band and many rooters, left for Philadelphia this morning. Pitt plays Penn tomorrow. Coach Warner said Pitt's men were In the best possible condition. lALS. NEW HAVEN—late finished her workout for the Brown game today. Tad Jones has put the seven first-string men and four substitutes through a course of sprouts this week and the secondstring men will get a chance tomorrow. BROWN. PROVIDENCE—“Ink” Williams, the flashy Brown end, was suffering from a weenched knee today. It Is hoped he will be In shape to get into the Tale game tomorrow. TCFTB. MEDFORD—Tufts’ football team was en rout* to Detroit today to meet the University of Detroit tomorrow. The team waa riven a great aendoff by the undergraduates DARTMOUTH. HANOVER ’ — Accompanied by more than 1,000 undergraduatea the Dartmouth football eleven today atarted for New York for the Cornell game. Merritt hae been shifted to guard. Stanage Looks Like He Might Make Good Pilot for Some Major Outfit This Is the open season for choosing new managers for the big league—and minor league—ball clubs. Three or four new pilots have been chosen for several American and National League teams. There are several players now in the Mg show Who some day may pilot a team In the majors. Ty Cobb, Helnie Orob. Art Fletcher, George Slsler, Joe Wood. Larry Gardner and others are In this list. 80 Is Oscar Stanage. Stanage has had little chance with the (Tigers to break Into print because of the poor pitchers Jennings has had. But Stansge ean be given credit for doing wonders with the material placed on the mound. He Is a heady, popular gent, with all the other earmarks of a good manager. Oscar joined the Tigers in 1909, being purchased from Newark. He has been Detroit’s main backstop ever since. He .broke Into baseball with a semi-pro outfit in Ladt, California, in 1903. In 1904tflOS he was in San Joee High BchooL la 1906 the Cardinals signed him and mleaeed him to Cincinnati. The Reds rrtlaased him to Newark that ssme year.

Indianapolis Grid 4 Warriors in Great Shape for Big Game Hold Scrimmage Tonight With Amateur Squad—Alexandria Tigers Here Sunday, Manager Jos Canning will send his Indianapolis Football ciun through a scrimmage with a fast amateur eleven tonight, after which a light signal drill will be held and the players who are to start in Sunday's game against the Alexandria Tigers at Washington park will be named. Sunday's game will start promptly at 2:30 o'clock. With the exception of Joe Connor, guard, injured In the Anderson game, every man on the Purple and White team is in the best of shape for Sunday's game, and their followers are backing them to tack up a victorv over the strong Alexandria team, one of the pioneers of Indiana professional football. It is probable that Ted Gels, stellar lineman of the K. F. M. and Marlon club elevens of recent years, will be seen st Connor's place at guard wheu the contest opens Sunday. Gels, an experienced player and one who carries enough fight tor an entire team, will work with the team in practice tonight. The same strong forward wall that held Anderson scoreless Sunday will start against the Tigers, Gels excepted. Canning is having some trouble in deciding who be will start in tbe back field Sunday. Harry Metzger, Harry Smith Monte 80-iz and Harry Jackson are four half backs who look one as good as the other, and there is little to ehoose between Fred Hanley, foribor De Pauw man, and Rog Klein as full backs. It is probable that Jackson, who pr.yed end until this year, will be sent back to his old wing position, and Hanlev will work as a half back. This will leave four good halfs to split tbe gam-o. wth Klein at full. Johnny Tott or Glen Kiine will call the signals. i he members of the Purple and White squad were given several new plays at nckboard drill last night and they will try them in scrimmage this evening. In view of the fact that their aerial play was one of the big features of Sunday’s game, the Indianapolis grldsters will brush np a bit on this stvl* of attack and endeavor to beat tbe Tigers with it Sunday.

INTERESTING EVE VTS OF TOMORROW

Dodgers Give Robby Fat Salary to Keep From Taking Leave Mark Reaches Point That Indicates Others Were Ridding for His Services. NEW YORK, Nov. s.—Wilbert RoMnson is stitched up with the Brooklyn Dodgers for three more year*. t The Joliy Baltimore butcher-baseball manager who piloted the Dodgers to two National League championships In four years has proven himself such a valuable asset to Charles Hercules Bbbets that the squire offered him his first long-time coutrsct as a manager and will pay him $15.00) a year to bo.s the Dodgers Robby's signing with Brooklyn put a crusher on the persistent report that he would become manager of the Yankees. It was thought that the New York Americans, who are able to pay bigger salaries than tbe Brooklyns because of thslr ability to get It back at the gate In greater gobs, would succeed In weaning Hobby away from Flatbush. Undoubtedly he was sounded out on the proposition and though he was under reserve It was thought that In case he received a tempting offer President Ebbets would not stand In his way unless he felt like meet ing It. Evidently Robby was offered s fine plum by somebody, for s three-year contract at $15,000 Is not to be sneered at. Os alt the successful major league managers who have galloped off with pennants In the last few years your Uncle Wilbert takes rank as the most popular. Fie h? a way about him tba. wins him friends wherever be goes, and though, like everyone else, he makes his mistakes. his Jolly good nature makes It easy to forgive him hie errors. For this very reason, no doubt. Robby gets less panning from the ’'critics" than any other manager In the game. There Is a characteristic about Robinson that me him doubly valuable as a manager He not only know* ballplayers and bsseball, hut he has the -faculty of making a mediocre player believe he le a world beater, and has broug it out tbe best taere is In luiuu of Us men In a remarkably abort length of time. On top ot this he Is one of the greatest Judges of pitchers ths game has ever known sad he knows how to hand!* them, the defeat of the Dodgers in the recent world's series notwithstanding. Now that Robby Is tied up for three years with the Robins. It appears that Miller Huggins *1; continue as boss of the Yankees, for Robinson baa been tbe only man mentioned as a probable successor to tbe midget manager.

TECH TAKES ON OUTSIDETEAM East Sid era Step Out After Fourth Victory of Grid Season. Coach Archie Erehart’a unbeaten Tech eleven was to oppose Noblesvllle Hicrb on Irwin field this afternoon, and tne dope favored the east alders to put over a win. The contest this afternoon marks the fourth game of the season for the a pee-! lug Green and White gridatera, Klrkl'.n. Newcastle and Manual having already been downed In tbe order name! Early indications were that an lm mens* crowd of high school followers would be on hand to witness tlte attraction, as It was tbe last appearance of tbe year of an outside high school eleven in this City. Although dopo relating to the comparative strength of the two contestants favored the locals, Coach Ershart has not been relying on dope to win bW games aud the Green and Whit* hopefulhad been sent through some streauoui work-outs In preparation for this after noon’s fray. The regular Tech line-up, consisting of Bayne and Woolgar, ends; Parker and Hnngste, tackles; Sweeney snd Mcx wU, guards; Hodges, center; Screes, quarter: Nipper and Griggs, halvea, nn Upderaff or Geiger, full, waa expected to be Erehart'a choice to start th* game. MANUAL GOES TO BRAZIL Coach Ray Evans baa worked his Manual grldsters bard this week In preparaHon for the contest at Brasil Saturday, j It will be a formidable aggregation that will attempt to put the aoutb side school on th* winning side of the sheet. The defects that showed so prominently In the Tech game a week ago have been carefully gone over by the Manual men- 1 tor and the mistakes that contributed ao much to the downfall of th# Red and j White In thia game should be a minus quantity In tomorrow's battle. Tbe r*g- j nlar Manual ilne-up probably will start the game, as the men are all In good condition. TANK WOMEN LOSE. LONDON, Nov. B.—The team of American women hockey players from Fblla delphla and vicinity, which recently ar i rived In England to play women teams here, waa beaten at Wimbledon Tester- , day In Its first match, played with tbe Surrey ladloe - team.
