SCARLET SEES BRIGHT HOPES FOR BIG GAME Wabash Wariors Refuse to Be Worried by Reports of De Pauw Confidence. WORK OUT IN THE SNOW CIfAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 16. The first snowfall failed to get the glad Uaid on its appearance on the Wabash College campus toffsy because Wabash students are more, interested In football nt present than In singing of the falling flakes. However, Coach Vaughan refused to let the poor weather stop elm in his preparations for the De Pauw game at Indianapolis Saturday and the Scarlet grid warriors were sent through the paces this afternoon as If the day was Ideal. The spirit f the student body and grid squads is running high snd rumors that the Greencastle outfit has been made the favorite In the annual clash has not caused any concern In the Athens of Indiana. . „ Wabash always has taken keen delight in upsetting the hopes of the Tigers, and the Scarlet players are being put in the best possible shape for the struggle. Last season De Pauw threatened during the first of the game, but it couldn't pierce the Wabash defense when the Scarlet goal was near. Then toward the last of the contest Wabash took a band at piercing the De Pauw defense and the Scarlet warriors were will n the way to point* when the final whistle sounded, ending the game scoreless. INJURIES HI'RT COACHEtS PLANS. The teams stack up this year about the same as last and therefore there’s no reason for gloom In this section. Os courre. Coach Vaughan has had his handicaps, brought about by Injuries *to some of his regulars, but he has worked fast to fill the holes left by the hospital men and he is depending on the old Wabash fighting spirit to carry these new men through the big struggle. The Wabash rooters admit they fear the ball-carrying ability of Galloway and the defensive work of Ogden, but these De Pauw stars were held In check to a certain extent last fall and the Bcarlet followers believe their team has the staff to repeat the stunt. At any rate there's going to be a footlall game at Indianapolis next Saturday end grid fans of the Hoosler metropolis are sure to see a contest similar to the Indiana-Xotre Dame affair In class.
PEP PICKS UP AT OLD DE PAUW GREENCASTLE, Ind„ Nov. 16— De Pauw football warriors began their last week of practice Monday afternoon behind barred gates in preparation for the annual game with Wabash, to be played on Washington Park, Indianapolis, next Saturday afternoon. This is the last grid game on the Tigers' schedule, but promises to arouse the most interest of any placed thus far. Training In downing the tackling dummy was stressed at Monday’s practice. Coach Buss intends to greatly Improve the tackling ability of his proteges before Saturday. All but one of the crippled members of the Old Gold squad were out In suits Monday afternoon. It Is very doubtful If "Red" Adams, the only remaining cripple, will be able to play In the Wabash game. He is suffering from injuries to both of his knees. Adams is a Rochester (N. TANARUS.) man. He was urged to come to De Pauw this year by “Ted" Ogden, captain of the Tiger eleven, who also hails from Rochester. Morgan, McCann. Mendenhall and Norris were the cripples who returned to the game Monday. They were suffer lug from injuries received In the tilt with Centre. During the remainder of the week the Tiger squad will be ©ent through a hard workout each evening, according to Coach Buss. In order to insure the team against injuries, no scrimmages will be held. As usual the prospect of another Wabash game eo close at hand has already aroused De Pauw students and followers More pep Is always instituted here before a Wabash game than at any time during the football season. The great rlvairy between tne two schools Is the only explanation that has ever been offered for this unusual manifestation of enthusiasm. Yellow ribbons bearing the words “Beat Wabash” were passed out to members of the faculty and student body at chape! time Monday by Dave Hogue, student athletic manager. Practically all of the student body and many townspeople are planning to see the annual tilt. Special lnterurban cars will carry the fans to Indianapolis Saturday over the T. H., I. A E. traction line. The De Pauw band and drum corps will make the trip and lead the annual parade on arriving at Indlnapolia.

Here are shown three of the Wabash College grid warriors who will perform In this city Saturday, when the eleven representing the Scarlet Institution goes to grips with the De Pauw Tigers, ancient rivals.

PURDUE SQUAD SETFOR FIGHT Boilermakers Hope to Upset Dope in Annual Indiana • Clash. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Nov. 16.—Just a* Indiana surprised Notre Dame, so does Purdue hope to surprise Indiana when j the Boilermakers clash with the Irlra-•on-clads on Stuart Held Saturday afternoon. only Purdue hopes the surprise will be more thorough. The Boilermakers will go Into battle with the odds heavily against them bnt. like Indiana, the Purdue team always stage their best fight on occasions such as this, and Saturday is not looked as an exception to the rule. The Purdue team came out of tne Northwestern fracas In fair shape, except for a few minor bruises that will disappear In one or two days, and the i athletes are begging for some tough practice sessions. . YesterdaT was given over to a light signal drill and the institution of some; new formations. The freshmen are working their heads off on the Indiana j plays and soon will be giving the varsity opposition. . , . . Purdue’s athletic organisation is al- , readv sending back money forwarded for reserve seats, all of which have been sold. ; A bleacher Is being erected on the north end of the field to accommodate n.POO fans, and 1000 circus seats are being erected on the south end. This will increase the Stuart field seating capacity to 12.000. and It is indicated that many will go without seats, or standing room. INDIANA HAS LITTLE WORRY BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nor. 16.—Next Saturday's Indlana-Purdus game at Lafa vette "may as well be won and tucked • way in the Indiana hiding pit*** *■* as Cba~h "Jumbo” Stithm and nU Crlmson athletes are seriously concerned. This does not mean that the Crimson team is taking the game as a Joke, far be It from such, but they are confident that they can win the game, are determined to do so. and It is going to take more than Pugdue hae (town all season to score the Victory. Coach Stlehm and his athletes expect the usual bard battle from Purdue. The coach is especially wary of some fluke break In the scrap that might give the Boilermakers their chance of a lifetime, and he Is now working to keep his men from becoming too confident of their powers. lie wants them to tear In with the same fight they showed against Notre Dame. Several regulars were unable to participate In the light signal drill last night, due to Injurlef received In the ; Irish fray, but It is 'believed that all > of them .with the exception of Williams, i will be ready to go against Purdue. Williams, half back, suffered three bro- ; ken ribs Saturday and there Is hardly r. chance of him playing any more footI ball this season. Kyle, Minton, Leonard ! nod Mumby were shaken up considerably j In the Saturday fray and they will not I practice with the team before the middle of the week. Cravens will take Williams' place. The team was to run through another signal drill this afternoon, and tomorrow the freshmen will be engaged In scrimmage. The freshmen have been working on Purdue plays for a week and should have them down In good style by tomorrow. It is planned to take the entire student body to Lafayette on the special trains leaving here Saturday morning. It Is not yet known whether the football men will ride oue of those train*, or whether they will take their leave Friday afternoon.

Manual to Take on Strong Clinton Boys in Saturday’s Game When the Manual football team stacks up against Clinton High School Satur- ; day at Clinton the aoutb aide gridder* will be up against one of the toughest propositions they have confronted this season, and If Coach Evaus' warriors return borne with the long end of the score It will give their prostlge a mighty boost. Clinton Is oue of the numerous towns In western Indiana that specialise In football and football players and this year it Is reputed to have one of the strongest teams In their history. On the other bend. Manual followers are beginning to believe they havo now the beet team in the city and one that will give any team In the State a hard struggle They point as reason for this belief to tbelr decisive win over .ShorL ridge Friday and to the fact they hold a 15 to 7 win over Sheridan, while that team beat Tech by the same score.

BUTLER WORKS FOR ‘Y’ TILT Page Boosters Confident of Victory Over Fast Chicago Eleven Saturday. With a record of six straight victories over some of the strongest secondary college elevens In Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, Coach Plat Pago will pit his Butler I. C. A. L. champions against Chicago Y. M. C. A. College Saturday on Irwin field In the last game of the year for the Blue and White. The Chicago eleven conies here with an Impressive record and Saturday's game should furnish a real test for the Pagemen. Butler lost only one game this year, the first one of the season, with Wittenberg. Wittenberg ha* Just won the Ohio Conference title for the third time In as many years and not been defeated In all this time. They are recognised as the strongest team in Ohio outside of Ohio State, and a defeat suffered at the hands of them, especially In eo hard fought a game as the Butler game was, Is -nothing that should fill the Butler camp with gloom. It is expected that these two teams will clash again next year and the Butler warriors are going after the honor of marring their perfect record In a determined way. To date Butler has played seven games and lost one. This is a wonderful record, considering that a year ago athletics at Butler were In a run-down condition. Conch Pago started his men Monday on a strenuous week of practice in an endeavor to iron out the defects that showed up In the Rose game, and little rest is In store for the local athletes before Saturday. Following Saturday * game the entire student body will flock to the Claypool Hotel, where th© monster football banquet wtll be held In celebration of the season's success Speeches by Coach Page, Manager Paul and all members of the team will he a big part of the program.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—Now that peace smiles sweetly over baseball and there’s nothing left to fight over, what’ll the magnates do this winter? Those of a belligerent turn of mind most likely will have plenty of quarreling grounds when they go to talk terms with their players.

It Is estimated that the sixteen major eluba made close to *9,000,000 last season. Close to $3,000,000 was made by th© New York, Chicago and Boston American League clubs. The New York Giants took In close to a million and the Brooklyn champions made about $600,00. The Cleveland world champions came mighty close to the same mark. No club lost money. Even the Athletics made a little money, due to the Yankees, the White Sox and the stronger clubs who drew well lu Quaker town. Th© Washington Nationals for the first time in years made a little money. Th© players know and it’s dead sure they'll want a larger cut of the profits.

MAJOR OWNERS TURN TO PLANS! FOR 1921 RACE Rebuilding to Start Early Magnates See Another Prosperous Year Ahead. GIANTS OBTAIN RAPF By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—With peace restored and Judge K. M. Landla firmly seated In the saddle as baseball fans’ allpowerful head, the magnates settled down this week to prepare for a prosperous season In 1921. There will be little or no legislation In baseball circles with regard to th drawing up of anew national agreement until after Thanksgiving, but, according to President John Heydler oi the National League, It is planned to gel the minor and major league committee; together shortly after "Turkey day," In order to complete th© draft of anew agreement in time to present It next month. Signs of activity among the club owners were noticed here today With th< announcement by Secretary Joe O’Brlefl of the Giants, that New York has pur| chased Third Baseman ‘Goldie” Rapp. Rapp was obtained from St. Paul by th< Ciney Reds and comes to New York witii a reputation as a wonderful fielder. Manager McGraw and President Cbarlel Stonebam of the Giants will leave her< for a short sojourn In Cuba, but will return In time for the National League’! meeting in December, and McGraw sai<! today that the Giants will be bolstered is) anticipation of one of the hottest racei the old league has ever known. The Yankees, too, are getting active! Their 1921 campaign will get under waj officially next Thursday, when Colonel] Kuppert and Huston will meet here wit* Manager Miller Huggins. Business Manager Ed Barrow and Joe Kelley, Bob Connery and Bob Dilks, Yankee scouts, to make general plans for tha coming season. Manager Huggins attended th© minor league meeting in Kansas City. He was looking for playing talent, but as far as can be learned failed to land any recruits. Manager Pat Moran of the Reds was another Kansas City visitor who found the picking poor among minor league owners, but at the time of th© meeting there was too much els© to occupy the minds of the magnates and trades and sales were given tne go-by. Announcement of the 1921 managers of the Browns, Tigers and Phllllea may be expected any time. Mike Kelley or St. Paul Is said to have received a satisfactory offer from Philadelphia and It is believed he will accept. Clarence Rowland Is the one best bet as JenDlngs' (Continued on Page 9.)
