FOOTBALL TALENT AT BUTLER LOOMS AS BEST IN YEARS
By HEAE CLARK. Butler was to open today. That is, classes at Butler College were to begin today, but football started about two weeks ago at the Irvington school. It was a small beginning. Just a few men who wanted to get in shape, but each day the number has increased, and Coach H. O. (Pat) Page says that by the end of the week tour teams will be trotting across the Butler gridiron. Saturday the schedule starts. Butler plays the’ Almunl and everybody knows that Varsity-Alumni games are real battles. Coach Page has about thirty-six men on his squad just now. “Pat" Is being helped in the coaching game by Paul D. Hinkle, former Chicago University star, and Arch Brown, wno played a back field position at Butler a few years ago. The coaches know they have a big problem to solve before the game with the heavy Dennison team at Granville, Ohio, Oct. 1. . '••We lack weight,” complained Coach Page. "School started late, and that means we have a lot of work to do before the first game against another college. If we only had more weight we would be all right.” fine talent in PRESENT SQUAD. The Blue and White squad Is not nearly so light as Coach Page would have rival coaches To be sure It is not a combination of Ueayweights, but then it has more weight than most Butler teams have had, and in fact it is the most likely appearing football squad that has represented Butler In many years. Butler lost about half of last year's regular team. Page worked wonders with the material last year. The probabilities are that he will surprise some of his opponents this season. There is no question but this year s Butler squad is tar stronger than last years, and when the coaches get the men rounded into condition and combined into a team with real team play. Butler will give any of its opponents a real argument. A signal drill Monday ended when Coach Page ordered head harness tossed onto the field and scrimmage started. It looked like real stuff the way those fellows went to it. They are playing to earn their position on the varsity this season for there are others at Butler just as good for every position. Neither side in the scrimmage could be called the varsity or the scrubs. However, Paul Brown, last year s varsity quarter back, slipped past his opponents' second line defense, caught a forward pass and started for the goal line. “Shorty” t'pdergraff, the former Technical High School star full back, tackled the speedy Brown on the fifteen-yard line. Upder grass is being tried at quarter this year and is Brown's rival. Two more plays and “Bo" Graham dashed around left end for a touchdown. Both teams scored after that, but that first series of plays wa a bit of pretty open field running that gave a chance to observe the speed of the men. the offensive ability of some, and the defense of others. GRIGGS WORKS ON BACK FIELD.
Then Hal Griggs, last year's all-State high school half hack on Technical, was sent into the scrimmage. Hal still has his ability to run and be seems to. be Improving as a dodger. Coach Page is showing Griggs some of the tricks of open field running and Griggs and Graham would team well at half backs, or perhaps Griggs may be worked at full back. When It came to line bucktng it must be said that either Butler lacks a line plunger or the line men on the two teams were so evenly matched that It was almost impossible to gain by the line bucking roitte, no matter which team had the ball. It was too early In the season to really judge the ends. Many of the punts went to the side of the field and rolled over the side lines, giving the opposing backs little chance to grab a ball and return a punt, or for an end to get a real chance to tackle a back returning a punt. The ends smashed fairly well on defense. but at times the backs cut back in and made real gains. While Coach Page Is “worrying” over lack of weight he does not have to worry about not having big me n for his line. That is from tackle to tackle. The backs are not exceptionally heavy. Some are husky, some tall, but all seem be well supplied with speed. The tacks are of a type well adapted for the open field game. Butler still has narry Puttenharer. who was selected on the second all-State team last year. Hp is a center of exceptional ability and plays a steady game. He was not in stilt, yesterday, but will be out working for his old positioi. later. 1 hil Brown, captain of last year's Butler to#m. whose regular position is tackle, worked at center during the scrimmage Monday. Brown ii a big powerful man and he has fully r'covered from the Injuries that bothered him early in the year last sea son. "Fuzz” Hungate and Ed Payne are two other men on Coach Page's list as centers. Hungate is a big man and should develop into a powerful defensive player. KISER CAN TEAR ’EM IP. Seven guards were ■ u suit Monday. Dwight Kiser, “Red" Moor. Phil Wortham Bob Garrett, Gene Colway. and Larry Templeton. Moor played well in scrimmage and is sure to make his rivals step to beat him to a guard job. Kber played only a short time Monday, tut while he was in the scrimmage he tore things up and went after the back field men hard. There is a long list of men who would like to play tackle at Butler this year. Besides Phli Brown, who worked at center in the scrimmage, there is BUI Kiser, captain of the Butler team. He is brother of Dwight Kiser, the guard. Bill plays ral football. He is a hard worker and the men on the squad like him and have confidence in bim. He will surely take cure of one of the tackle positions. Anew man, Dick Hall of Logansport, appeared in uniform Monday. Tall and well built. Hall appears to be material from which Coach Page can develop a real line msn. Mlllspauw and Wales were two other men who appeared in football togs at Butler for the first time Monday. They are both line men. Ed loach, Shorty Bash, Ed Patton and Van Arsdale all

are after tackle positions on the Blue and White team. Page has a squad of end men, but no one snowed exceptonally well Monday because the scrimmage was not of a type that would give an end much chance to shine. Wallie Middlesworth is a good end. The Wales brothers known as “Piukle” and “Swanle,” are a pair of boys with plenty ci speed. “Slim” Birge. "Specks” Bales, “Runt” Strickland all are ends who have a chance to make the Butler varsity. Konold, the former Elwood High School football and baskethalt star, is at Butler. He is tall and well built. Konold Is the type of end when he gets a little college experience will show well, for he is a real athlete. Strickland played at Greenfield High School, and while a little man, he is certainly fast. Jack Leslie and a man earned Ferro are two other end possibilities. Leslie played on the regular team last year. He hag height and Is a good man at receiving forward passes. In the back field Butler has a wealth of fast material, even if the men are not as heavy as Coach Page would like to oee them. Bo Graham and Hal Griggs are certainly a fast pair of open-field runners. Bill McClafflin would fit in well with this pair, with either L'pdergraff or “Buck” Brown at quarter. "Nig” Woods, Tom Fields, “Silent” Rotroff, Emil Harmeson. Don Sparks, G. Outtenhaver and “War Horse” Dawson are all lack field candidates with a wonderful chance to make the first team. Harmeson is the former Manual Training High School football star and all-round athlete. Asa whole Coach Page has much less to worry about than he did last year, for his material is far better than it was a year ago. He has. however, arranged a much harder schedule than the 1920 Butler team played. All games are played at the Butler College athletic field, except the one with Dennison University. The schedule follows: Sept. 24, Alumni; Oct. 1. Dennison, at Granville, Ohio; Oct. S. Rose Poly; Oct. 15, Hanover; Oct. 22, Earlhom (homecoming dayi; Oct 28 (Friday), Wabasli: Nov. 5. Chicago Y. M.

While the big leagues are taking up most of the fans’ attention these days, the Association has been neglected to some extent, but It must not be forgotten that an important series is on, starting today, when the .Millers make their last stand against the Colonels at Louisville. Minneapolis must take the entire series If it is to pull up on even terms with the Kentucky team. As the season draws near its close the commanding lead of Louisville looks almost like a sure thing, but strange things have happened before, os witness the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Millers start the present series with a fighting chance to even things up with the men of McCarthy. most of the year. If the Tribe pitchers deliver the club snould give the Western teams lots of trouble. St. Paul Is here for only two games, the first game of the three game series scheduled for today having been played on August 7.

RACE TO WIRE PREDICTED FOR JOHNSON LOOP Cleveland Regains Lead, but Margin Over Yanks Is Merely Two Points. PENNANT CHANCES EVEN By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor, NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Tris Speaker’! fighting Cleveland Indians started their supreme drive for the American League pennant today In Boston. TLe hopes of the Tribe were staked on three games against the Red Sox and foui with the Yanks in New York. They will i>i t everything they have into this string of seven games, and from the looks of things the pennant will be won and los; by the time the two series have been played. Who will win or who will lose that gonfalon Is still a burning question. The Yanks and Indians have been playing king and castle. Today the Indians are leading by two points and the Yanks, 1 yesterday s leaders, have lost an opportunity to gain a game through losing to Detroit. The race Is so close and the rival teams are playing for such a big stake that they may carry the fight all the way to the jumping off place, which will mean the last two or three games of the season. The schedule calls for three gamea here between Cleveland and New Y'ork, but the Indians have a postponed game, so they will dispose of It next Monday. 1 his postponement is the only one on Cleveland's book and unless the weather man butts in the Tribe will plav the full 154 games The Yanks have a postponed game In Washington and may be forced to run down to the capital to play It off if they fail to knock off the Indians. Business Manager Barrow said today that the playing of the gams was all up to Manager Huggins. Tho coming l'ankee-lndlan tuples should decide the race, and as U sizes up today chances are about even, despite the fact that the Yanks have had It on Cleveland all season, having won eleven out of eighteen games from Speaker's men. The Indians are today leading the New York outfit by what amounts to half a game. They have three games in Boston and a chance to fatten that lead because New York will be idle Thursday. A lead of a game and a half coming In New York would mean much to the Indians, for an even break would send, them away holding first place, and they wind up the season with four games against the White Sox at Chicago. The Sox have been doormats for Speaker’s men ail season. Out of eighteen games, Cleveland has won fourteen from Chicago, and with two days In which to rest his pitchers after leaving here for the West, Speaker would be la great shape to drive straight home to another pennant. The Yanks, after winding up with Cleveland, will go to Philadelphia for two games and then return home for one game each with the Athletics and Red Sox. The National League situation was changed but little today. The Pirates cut the lead of the Giants to three and one-haif games, but will get no more dances and the Giants are ready now to pounce on the Cubs, while Pittsburgh must tackle the Dodgers.
