ET pays to be a “master mind.” It is estimated by those who claim to know that John. J. McGraw o{ the New York Giants is a millionaire. And John is not stingy with his money. He has long had the reputation of looking out for old ball players who need assistance. In a story carried in Daily Racing Record it was stated that John walked up Broadway the other night from Twenty-First St. to Fifty-Ninth and during the stroll was “touched” exactly twelve times. McGraw didn’t refuse many of them, either. He knows his men though.' One little fellow hailed John: “Can I get S2O until tomorrow?” "No,” said McGraw. "Here’s half of it. You are only a $lO man in my book.” * • • o : ACROSS THE HOARD TODAY : 3 Three winners ami n seeond at Laurel on Tuesday.

And, again, they may be shooting at a couple of barrel hoops out in the school yahd or skinning their shins in a tiny two-by-four basement ’way out in the ’’sticks,” little dreaming of the long, hard road over which they will travel to that final hectic hour at “the State,” which ends with a volley of shots from the timekeeper’s revolver signifying that they have made the grade. Somewhere this next State championship team is practicing, but it would be just plain dumb to Attempt to say where. w* • * Charlie Shine, local taxi driver-pugilist, is displaying another evidence of his athletic versatility this fall by indulging in the grid sport. The k. o. specialist is nuilting a good showing in the line of the J. J. C. eleven, which is holding forth Sunday afternoons at Pennsy Park. The cap of the uniform Shine wears while doing liis taxi stuff bears the legend “Yellow,” but opponents both in the ring and on the grid are ready to attest that the headgear is the only thing about Charlie suggestive of that color.

Ci— —|ARL CALLAHAN of the Em-Roe company reports i___J a call for soccer football shoes for women. The University of Illinois is trying' to introduce this sport for women students, and the first obstacle encountered was lack of cleated shoes designed for the feminine foot. One representative of Illinois who came [o Indianapolis made the rounds of local agencies and reports that evidently there "ain’t so sich animal.” The manufacturers of sports goods generally keep up with or a little ahead of all the new wrinkles but this latest demand has caught then* napping. One never knows what the girls will do next, so the manufacturers might just as well ■ get busy making shoulder "pads for fair shoulders and headgear for bohbed heads, as the ladies' already ija-ve ventured on various occasions into the regulation grid game, the erstwhile "heman” sport.

Then, in successive,dashes, lie went sixtyseven, fifty-six and forty-five yards for three more scores during the first twelve minutes of the contest. That record is surely worth recalling. Ft was probably the most dazzliqg display of brilliance ever witnessed on the gridiron. But what will “Red” do this next Saturday? * * * Solitude is usually not much sought after by anyone except hermits, but Tuesday everybody wanted solitude. The horse ran in the third event at Columbus race track. It was a hot thing all right. The estimated odds on the horse were 15 to 1.

GRID CONFERENCE PLAN , TALKED OF IN EAST Harvard Sounds Out Other Big Schools —Would Be Along Lines of West’s Big Ten.

Hy Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—Organization of several of the big eastern colleges into a football conference is to be attempted at the close of the current season. The suggestion already has been made informally by Harvard officials w’ho have been sounding out the athletic bodies of several large universities and it is understood the plan has been looked upon with favor. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania, jit is understood, have been proposed for charter membership wiflh the idea that the conference could be increased later to eight members if the plan worked satisfactorily. The suggestion, coming from Harvard, for an organization of eastern

LIGHT WORK Wabash Retarded by Bruises —Robinson Out. Bu Timex Special CRAWFORDSVILLE. Oct. 21. Secret practice was the order issued by Coach Vaughan again today, as the Little Giants prepared for a scrimmage session against the freshmen. Barred gates have greeted visitors to Ingalls field since Monday, but because of the battered condition of the Wabash team, as a result of the Minnesota game, Vaisghan held up heavy practice work until today. Red Robinson appears to be the only regular who will be out of the lineup against Butler Saturday, as the Scartet wingman had to have his nose broken over again in order to reset it after having it smashed in the Gopher game. Every varsity player is nursing some injury, and in practice Tuesday night, the first team still appeared in battered shape. Coaches Vaughan and Reese have no comment Vo make on the game with Butler at Indianapolis Saturday, and though the Little Giants will not present their strongest lineup at Irwin Field, the Bulldogs are assured a lively* battle. SELL-OUT AT PENNA (Yowd of 60,000 Assured For Cliieago Battle.

HOT RIVALRY Elwood Eleven to Invade Kokomo Camp Sunday. Sii Times Special KOKOMO, lnd., Oct. 21.—Smarting under the defeat handed them last Sunday by the Notre Dame Reserve team, 14 to 6, the local American Legion eleven settled down to work this week in preparation for the invasion next Sunday of the undefeated Elwood Legion aggregation. Rivalry of the extreme type will exist in the game. The argument between the two towns in an annual

football, was somewhat of a surprise, as such movements in the past always have found little favor at Cambridge, where the athletic officials always have preferred to remain aloof and conduct their own affairs independently. Some prominent eastern officials believe an organization such as the Western Conference is needed in the East to protect the game from being over-commercialized. HURLER DIES Airplane Fall Proves Fatal to Marvin Goodwin. liu United Press HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 21.—Marvin Goodwin, former manager of the Houston (Texas League) Club, died early today from injuries received when his airplane fell 200 feet on Sunday.

Miss Ruth Stagg, daughter of A. A. Stagg, famous football coach, wanted to attend the game at Philadelphia next Saturday between the Maroons and Pennsylvania. But father said the football team was enough for him to worry about on that trip. She’d better not go, he said. So Ruth married S.

PRELIMS ON CARDj ATTRACT Waggoner, Coal Miner, to Box Ferraris—Royal Cox Is Signed. Matchmaker Harter today signed* four boxers to engage in two of the prelim bouts pn the Washington A. C. card at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. Brett Waggoner, Petersburg coal miner, was matched to battle Fighting Ferraris, Cincinnati, and Johnny Lubeck, Dayton, Ohio, was signed to meet Royal Cox, Indianapolis. Waggoner has lost only one scrap in about ten starts and he pleased local fans when he made his bow here against Frankie Smith. Ferraris is a willing mixer and is sure to make the hard-punching coal miner work hard. Lubeck, who will tackle Cox, is said to carry a wallop, but Cox also knows how to punch and will be in there to win decisively. The main go between Tommy Burns. Detroit, and Roy Wallace, Indianapolis, has caused a heavy demand for tickets, 300 reservations already having been made. Promoter Harter placed tickets on sale today at the Clark and Cade Drug Store. There will be no advance in

First Big Ten Test Faces Boilermakers —“Rocks” Hopeful of Recovering From Army Shock. Football “fear’’ in Stato college grid ranks this weeks isn’t confined to Butler and Wabash camps over that annual scrap at Irwin Field, Saturday. Purdue takes on its first Big Ten opponent of the season when Wisconsin is met at Madison and Notre Dame gets another test ia a collision with Minnesota at Minneapolis.

Purdue followers expect to know something after the Wisconsin clash; that is. they will know after that affair if the Boilermakers are strong enough to make a showing In the western conference. Indiana was eliminated’ early, by Michigan, and Michigan also crushed Wisconsin hopes. Purdue is the only member of the Big Ten that has not engaged in a conference struggle. As for Notre IJame, the Minnesota contest is expected to give N. D. supporters a better line on their favorites, as compared with other elevens in the Middle West. Army proved it was far stronger than this year’s squad of "Irish,” but it may be that Army belongs to the “super” class this fall. prices for the show. Bill Reed, Ohio mauler, is here training w’ith Wallace at the Arcade gym in order to give Roy strenuous workouts dally. Wallace’s hands are in fine shape and hia punishing left jab is working in the same effec-

tive manner it did against the heavy Larry Sobjeck. At any rate N. D. fans are going to wait until after Saturday to decide about their eleven's strength as compared with the average run of big teams. Notre Dame usually has been granted Hoosier State title honors by popular opinion on the strength of annual wonderful winning streaks against powerful out-of-State opponents, but the "Irish” Hoosier claim this year may be disputed if Knute’s w ar ri°rs tumble before Minnesota and other teams to be met later. At any rate the Purdue-Wiseonsin and Notre Dame-Minnesota games Saturday are important to many grid fins of Indiana, even despite the fact both Purdue and Notre Dame already have tasted defeat. Purdue is in a frenzy to get off on the right foot in its Big Ten campaign, and Notre Dame is eager to sitart anew and endeavor to climb gradually back into the “win” class.

CHICAGO AT PENNA FEATURE Two of Strongest in East and Middle West Clash at Philadelphia. Bii 'l imes *0 rial NEW YORK. Oct. 21.—Although the season is yet at that stage when the comparative strength of teams is a matter of guesswork, fans this Saturday will have an opportunity to obtain a little light on the great question—does the East or Middle West produce the best teams? Pennsylvania has come through the early fall with one of the best records among eastern elevens. The University of Chicago—last year's Big Ten champion—has demonstrated title talent again in the Middle Western Conference. Th#se two teams will meet at Philadelphia. Chicago has a heavy line that averages 185 pounds, and a powerful backlield. Coach Stagg has been noted for his defensive teams. This is likely to make up for the lack of scoring punch noticeable in the games already played. But while the Chicago-Penn game (Continued on Page 12)
