‘Bo’ McMillin, Former Kentucky College Star , Tells How Centre Did It

NE W STYLE OF FOOTBALL AIDS SMALL COLLEGES IN GAINING LIMELIGHT Great Team at Centre Was Work of Myers—Players Stuck Together Like Brothers and Fought All the Time for Their College. By BO McMILLIN, All-American Quarter Back. Centre College at Danville, Ivy., is perhaps the most talked about small college in the country. Football put Centre College on the map. Five years ago only a select few knew there was such an institution. Today it is mentioned as frequently as Harvard, Yale or Princeton.

Centre College broke into big print four years ago when it decisively defeated the University of West Virginia. Earlier in the year West Virginia had surprised the football world by its defeat of Princeton, one of the strongest teams that ever represented 1 the “Orange and Black.” Last fall Centre put oyer the big thrill of the season by its 6 to 0 defeat of Harvard. Centre's rise to fame in the football world has been typical of the success that a great many small colleges have enjoyed in recent years. The new football featuring the forward pass has helped to pave the way for the smaller colleges. No longer is there such a premium on beef and reserves. Speed is the keynote of the new game. It calls for fast, well conditioned players. Strategy supplants brawn. Some Leading Spirit However, if you go back into the history of the sensational rise of most of the smaller college teams you will find there is some leading spirit who has done much to put them over. A good illustration of this can be given through the recent succss of niv alma mater. The man behind it all there was Robert L. Myers, a Centre alumnus. Many have the impression that this team just happened or built itself, but such is not true. In 1916 Myers took it upon himself to encourage a few students from his home town high schol to go with him to Centre, where he had voluntarily offered his services as coach without remuneration. Among this crowd were several all-State high school men and others who later made all-American and allsouthern selections before leaving college. The man working at this had visions of a great football team at Centre College and through his wonderful personality and untiring efforts a great organization was perfected. Players Like Brothers One of the biggest factors on a successful football team is the feeling and relation of the players among themselves. In this Myers stressed special attention. The men played and fought as a band of brothers. There was not a man on the team who would not go through fire for his college or coach. This is something that is usually lacking at the large lnrfitutions. At a small college the players are grouped in a few small buildings. Every man knows every other man on the campus. There is a feeling of fellowship among the students. At all college activities these men are being constantly thrown together. Their relationship is in common. At the large schools a football team is more like some mechanical device. There -’is never the fight and spirit shown as where all the men know each other and are like one big family. Getting Better Coaches The high schaol athlete is beginning o recognize the advantages of the smaller institutions and in this way better material is being found there. These same smaller schools are realizing the advantages of good, clean athletics to the growing boy and are securing more capable men as coaches. I believe it is due to these reasons more than to the change in the rules favoring the open style of play that is bringing the small institutions in a position to compete with the larger ones on the football field. AMATEUR BOXING SHOW South Side Turners to Stage Bouts on Next Monday Night. The first amateur boxing show is on the card for next Monday night at the South Side Turner Hall. Eight bouts are on the program. It is planned to hold a number of such shows throughout the winter with the Hoosier A. C. and Brookside A. C. also staging exhibitions. A number of good amateur performers have been developed at the various clubs and some lively scraps are in prospect. INDEPENDENT AND AMATEI FOOTBALL The Mapletons were defeated Sunday at Cumberland by the score of 12 to 7. Marlon Sicvena, full bach, and Elmer Eddy. end. Marred for the Mapletons. The Mapletons will hold practice Friday evening at Meridian and Thirty-Eighth Sts. Games are desired with city teams In the 110-pound class. Southeastern® and St. Philips take notice.

Meeting and practice will be held Friday night at Garfield Park. Every player who expects to stay on the squad is expected to be present. The Emerald Midgets football team wants a fame for Saturday morning or Sunday. The Midgets play in the 70 to 80-pound class. For games call Main 3392, between 3 and 5 p. m.. and ask for George. The Marion Ramblers continued to win by defeating the Castleton team Sunday. The Ramblers have defeated St. Philip. Brookside Cubs and Castleton and played a tie with Arlington. The Ramblers want games with strong State teams. Address 719 E. Nineteenth St., or call Main 4921. Races Postponed By Timet Special LEXINGTON, Ky„ Oct. 11.—Rain again postponed the trotting program here Tuesday. If weather permitted 'he program was to lie held today. During the last of the week the programs will be doubled up to complete the card by Saturday. At It Again By United Press BOSTON, Oct. 11.—Stanislaus Ebyazko, veteran wrestler, will battle with Ivan Linow, Russian mat man, Fere Thursday night.

SOMETHING NEW By United Xetcs CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—When Lord Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten suggested to Judge Landis that New York baseball fans were giving him "the bird” after the tied world series game, he knew not whereof he spoke. The newly arrived nobleman thought "the bird” was a word of recognized standing In American slang, he admitted, when asked about It here Tuesday. “Why you know,” he said, "I thought It was an American slang phrase. I was amazed at the way you people took It up. "I wanted to Impress the Judge, you know. Don’t know what It means. Suppose It’s like giving the rahsberry, don't you?”

DROP ROLLER POLO PLANS League Promoters Cancel Project Because Rinks Are lacking. Due to he inability of a few cities seeking franchises in the roller polo i league planned In this State to guar-; antee suitable playing rinks the organ- : izers of the proposed circuit have dropped the project for this year. Frank Gardner of this city, who was one of the league promoters and who planned to manage the Indianapolis team, said today he and his co-organ-izers had given up when the rink situation was Investigated. Richmond, Newcastle. Indianapolis and Muncle were the only cities having suitable halls in which to play. Other cities that wanted to Join could not prpduce sufficient capital to assure success, Gardner said. The sit- j uation at Muncle also was unsatisfactory, he added, because the rink there is some distance from the center of the city. When players were approached on the subject they demanded to be shown sufficient capital to guarantee the league would go through and a few of the cities could not meet with this demand. BRITTON WINS Retains Crown In Battle With Jimmy Kelly. By United Xews HAVANA, Oct. 11.—Jack Britton retained his welterweight title here Tuesday afternoon when he was awarded the decision at the end of a twelve-round bout with Jimmy Kelly I of New York.

GOPHERS EXPECT BATTLE IN IM WITH II ELEVEN Bill Spaulding Drills Minnesota Team for Invasion of Hoosier State. By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 11.— Driven by the necessity of preparing his team for its Indiana Invasion in four days. Coach “BUI” Spaulding, of the Gophers, put his men through 'a long scrimmage drill Tuesday afternoon. Another stiff workout was on the program for Wednesday. Spaulding does not Intend that his men shall go Into the game with the Crimson at Indianapolis next Saturday with the fundamentals unlearned. Despite Minnesota's 22-to-0 victory over North Dakota and Indiana’s tie game xvlth De Pauw, there Is no feeling here that the Gophers aro certain to win. Reports from the scouts who saw the De Pauw-In-diana game are to the effect that Indiana knows fundamentals—knows how to follow the ball, tackle and charge. It is in fundamentals the Minnesota was weak in the North Dakota game and Coach Spauiding is trying desperately to remedy the defect before the Indiana fray.

Playing the Field With Eddie Ash

BASEBALL follows the American flag, but for some reason or other the hall players going to Japan chose a ship flying a foreign flag for passage. To barnstorming ball players the difference between a foreign ship and a Yankee vessel represents the fun of touring. ILLINOIS “U” has scheduled the Butler College basket-ball five for a "practice” game. By calling it a practice contest the Suckers will have an alibi If Butler wins. OLD MAN BRITTON still manages to outpoint 'em. He !>eat Jimmy Kelly in Havana Tuesday night. Frank Chance is said to be visiting Montreal in an effort to obtain the ball club franchise there. Any exuse to visit Montreal seems to be the main idea. THE Government was the big financial winner In the world’s series. Uncle Sam grabbed $60,000 In taxes, far more than the club owners earned. THE RULE makers aro still explaining the changes in the grid laws. That's what they get for making a foreign language out of them. Don’t forget Cubs and Sox haven’t settled their Chicago city fuss. It looks like they’ll have to settle it with snowballs. FROM razz and boo to wow is the route Babe Ruth is taking. The onslaught of the Razz and 800 Order didn’t stop him. He has joined the Modern Woodmen of the World team of Omaha for exhibition games. NO ONE would be surprised if Ruth would join out with Georges Carpentier In a vaudeville sketch entitled “Dr. Cheer and Mr. Jeer.” JOHN M’GRAW has denied Pitcher John (Castoff* Scott permission to twirl banrstorm games. “You scored a shuf-out in the world’s series," said McGraw, “but that doesn’t prove anything. Look who you were pitching against." JIM TRACY", the unconscious one, has one more dive to take before he hits the bottom of the pugilistic Junk pond. He has yet to be knocked out by Joe Beckett. BABE RUTH says when they named him the Behemoth of Bust they must have had advance dope on his world’s series ability. I sure was a bust last week. Babe says.

SCHEDULE PLAN WORKED OUT BY NET OFFICIALS Basket-ball Referees Establish Clearing House for Help of Managers and Coaches. The Indiana board of certified bas-ltet-ball officials has developed the most thorough plan to acquaint coaches and managers throughout the State with obNdnlng competent officials that has ever been devised In Indiana. One of the purposes of the organization Is to become a clearing house for referees, and Dale Miller, secretary of the board, has sent out lists of officials to about 500 high school coaches and the different colleges of the State. Twenty-five of some of the best officials available are members of the board. The entrance requirements are very strict nnd only the best basket-ball referees can affiliate with the organization. A list of the games each official has on his schedule is kept by Miller and when some school calls In asking about a referee the available dope Is at hand. The names of the referees who have open dates at a certain time therefore can be sent out and the coaches or managers can select a man to work the game for them. Some such system has been needed in seasons past and It has remained for the Indiana certified board to put It over. The secretary of the association can be reached at 614 Board of Trado Building. Circle 1379.

Here and There in Sportland

By Dick Anderson THE "if” In the return of Miller Huggins to the disgraced New York Yankees appears to be growing dimmer. The club owners have announced that If the little pilot wishes to return to the Yanks next year he is welcome. But Miller ee.-ma to be think- A lng of dropping out of baseball altogether and resumlng his law H practice In Clnmonths the desire of his family that he re- ANDERSON tire. Huggins is said to be Independently rich. Rumors have already circulated about proposed deals for the shining lights of the American League champs. Mays. Ward. Hoyt and Meusel have been mentioned prominently as the first to go. The question is "Who wants them .” The costliness of having a group of stars on one team—each with his own mind—was shown in the series. Perhaps another type of manager would have gotten better results, but not unless ho had been given free rein It’s a safe bet that the Yankees will look lots different next year. MOTION PICTUREB

The Boston club, In bad with the fans because of the way the star players have been sold during the last three of four years. Old not increase its popularity through the poor showing of the team this season. It is doubtful if any manager could have done any better with the Boston club. However, Owr er Fra zee is said to be dissatisfied with conditions, which probably means that anew manager will bo at the head of the club in 1923. Jimmy Burke, who acted as assistant to Duffy, is said to be the man slated for the position. Burke for several years helped Hughey Jennings at Detroit and later managed the St. Louis Browns.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN PERKING UP FOR PLENTY OF ACTION THIS WINTER Fight Fans Wait With Expectancy Arrival of Wild Man Siki — Miske and Tom Gibbons Meet This Week. By WESTBROOK PEOLER United Xetcs Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Nothing but a box car shortage or strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws can prevent a gay program of beezer-busting and eye-painting in the ring at exclusive Madison Square Garden during the impending fall and winter season of smash and squawk. Fight managers are arriving in town on every freight from the West, weary from travel and more soiled than usual, but eager for battle so long as others do it. During the winter the program will work up to bouts in which the champions will stake their titles against 60 per cent of the Garden gate. Perhaps even Jack Dempsey can be hired to nudge one or two chins.

Billy Gibson is still walking the floor at. night with Benny Leonard, whose second teething has made him fretful for several weeks. However, Benny has been able to hire out as a dancer in a Broadway musical comedy, featuring his famous no-decision polka, and will be ready for Charlie White about the first week In December. There seems no way to prevent Battling Siki from coming to this country* But the New York commission WHO WANTS THEM? Rumor Yanks Were to Be Sold Is Denied.

trusts that Siki will spare his family the rigors of the ocean voyage, considering that his wife Is a white woman. Greb and Gene Tunney are likely to figure in another winter fuss, and Joe Lynch, whose queer conduct In the recent fight with Kid Wolfe la causing the commission to study his case, may be matched with Joe Burman. Dundee To Be Busy There Isn’t any featherweight champion any more, except Johnny Dundee, but Johnny, such as he is, will be working steadily as usual. In the middleweight class there is neither champion nor championship any more, owing to the balled up condition of the. division due to the commission’s complicated series of rulings. The big battle of this week is the one between Billy Miske and Tom Gibbons, the heavyweights. Miske looked big and strong working out in the gymnasium Tuesday and his record for the last year is the record of a great comeback, for he was near death three years ago. Gibbons arrives Wednesday for the first show he has entered since Harry Greb took him on a furious 15-round whirl a year ago. AMUSEMENTS
