STIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDEEGAED

-—ill. HOLLAND, Indiana Uni|j vereity physician, stated in an address here to the I. H. fj. a. A. that in his experience of some ten years of college work he had noticed that the physical condition of freshman was much better now than some years ago. This is a cheering sign and shows that, at least, high school athletics do not "burn out” the youths. It also may prove that the athletes are going to college instead of dropping out. Nowadays there is more activity than ever before among alumni of the various higher institutions of learning to prevail upon athletes to enroll. And why not? Many a youth has gone to college thinking only of what he could do on the athletic field and has found that there are many other important things in life. * * * o t ACROSS THE HOARD TODAY t o Wa were rtsht In the statement that those bl Held* at Churchill Downs were doing to make the going pretty tough for the “pickers.’’ but the prices would be good If one could only light on some winners. The closest we got on Friday wo* one second. Marial Bar(on placed and paid $9.90 and *6.90. Our smallest wager was on that filly. Fetle was third, losing the place by a nose. Dare Say tired in the stretch and was fonrth. Captain Hal was third In a ilnlsli In which half a length separated the first three. Rocky weakened In the stretch. It was a losing day; something we feared even before the results were known. The hank roll today is *5598.60. Today an uncertainty as to track conditions makes selections more difficult and we will go easy. We will put *8 across on WILDWOOD in the sixth and the same on BASSOK.AH in the seventh. Guessing that the track will he heavy we’ll select DEEMING in the big race over Sir I’etcr for A $8 across play. Deeming ran a tine race on a heavy track In the Lntonia Handicap. SHE Indianapolis High School elevens are gradually coming to the front in the State. It takes some time to come back after a sport has been banned, but looking into the •future, we predict that local prep outfits will rank at the very top among Indiana teams. Man power is needed in the modern game of football and the big Indianapolis institutions have plenty of grid fodder if the youths can be prevailed upon to get their hair mussed. * * De Pauw fooled everybody on Friday except Illinois Wesleyan. The game was a dark secret here in Indianapolis, everyone believing the contest was to be played today. The Bloomington, 111., team knew the Tigers were coming, however. The score showed that. • * r-pfJOME of th<? State high ISI schoo^s seem to have the I ) wrong idea about football. There is a ruling in several large schools which prohibits a boy from playing both football and basketball. Those institutions probably never will have very strong grid teams- They probably don't care. This is a basketball State. Because of the general sentiment a boy would rather play basketball if he must make a choice. The grid sport is being played more and more among the high schools of Hoosierdom. Give it a chance and it will spread even more to the mutual benefit of all concerned.

Rain, rain, go away! Come again some other day. Wabash and Butler want to play. • • • Tlie Central Normal College grldders should not cheer much over their victory on Friday, against the State School for Deaf. When boys play men the result Is usually a foregone conclusion. • • * Some of the football teams fooled the weather man. They played their games on Friday. * • • OAID AT ARMS is a great two-year-old filly. Further evidence of her high class ' was shown Thursday in an easy victory In the Ellerslie Handicap at Laurel. She carried 126 pounds in the mile race on a muddy track. Man o’ War was a wonder horse on the track and his sons and daughters are showing the same sterling qualities. • * * Two former Technical High School athletes were to be seen in action today with the Wabash football team at Irwin field. They have quite a handicap to overcome. It has been the ill-luck of other local athletes to try too hard when they came back home. * * * Bring out the weather beaten phrase today—A SEA OF MUD. * * * Mrs. Malaprop said that this perspiration (she probably meant precipitation) had upset all her plans. She had pretended to go to the Wabash and Butler game, but now was forced to stencil her derangements. She stated that she had read the “Scarlet Letter” when just a girl and was anxious to see the play at Irwin field. * • • It is reported that Jack Dempsey is going to Mexico for some sparring exhibitions. The champ should try out his latest sport of tossing the bull. They like that pastime down there. • • * No, Dora, there are no South Americans on the Peru team which plays the Femdales on Sunday. • • • Something to worry about: A six-day hike race starts on Sunday at Chicago.

QUAKERS TAKE ON MAROONS Intersectional Classic Witnessed by 64,000 —Fine Weather at Philly. By Henry L. Farrell United Pnaa Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.—Pennsylvania and Chicago, pioneers of intersectional football, resumed relations after a lapse of twenty-four years, in the Franklin Field stadium this afternoon in one of the most interesting games of the day. Pennsylvania, with one of the best teams developed here in years, is campaigning for the championship of the East and Chicago, Western Conference champions of 1924, is still, in the race for the championship of the Big Ten. Ideal weather prevailed. There was just enough bite in the wind to make it feel like football weather and the playing field was firm enough for fast football. Pennsylvania officials said 64,000 tickets had been sold. The two teams have met four times and Chicago’s best showing was a tie score in 1899, Pennsylvania having won the other three games.

J. J. C. GAME East Siders Play Soldiers Sunday at Pennsy Park. Manager Hayes of the J. J. C. football team today announced that after Sunday’s game with the Ft. Harrison Battery B eleven the east end squad will be reduced to twentytwo men, and the decision insures a hard fight Sunday, not only for a victory against the soldiers, but for places on the team which will represent the east side. Word comes from the fort that the Army eleven has been bolstered and Lieutenant Clark, coach, has been handing a few West Point puzzlers that should be good for lots of yardage. Sunday’s game starts at s:3O. Popular prices will prevail for all games at Pennsy Park.

ELWOOD PLAYS KOKOMO Rival Legion Grid Teams Meet in Sunday Battle. Bn Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 24.—-Grid fans of this city are agog over the game Sunday, when the Elwood American Legion team comes to form the opposition for the local American Legion eleven. The rivalry between the two cities is very keen. The greatest game of the season locally is looked for. Elwood is strutting four victories this year, one a 7 to 6 defeat, they handed the Ferndales at Indianapolis. Kokomo has three victories, one over the strong Dayton (Ohio) Koor eleven, but last Sunday the locals fell before the strong' Notre Dame reserve squad. That defeat, however, does not mar the locals’ standing in the State championship race. Helvie and Buckles, who were injured in last Sunday's fracas, will be back in the harness tomorrow. The game will start at 2:30.

FINAL WORK Ferndales Finish Practice for Sunday Struggle. The Femdale football team held Its last practice and scrimmage of the week Friday in preparation for the Peru C. & O. game at Washington Park Sunday at 2:30 p. m. During the week Coach Erehart has added several new plays and hopes to use them in bringing viotory to the locals. t The upstaters have a clean record to date in their drive for the State championship. The management of the locals is angling for more new players, and If they are obtained the roster will be completed for the year, as all the locals lack is reserve power. The first string line-up is set, with the acquisition of Drayer and Carmen at tackles and Duttenhaver at half back. The Peru team is made up of men who played at college, or at least were stars in their high school days and since have played great ball independently, and the scores of previous games show the upstaters to have an offense that will be hard to stop.

ILLINOIS STADIUM J A MM E D 67,000 Gather at Urbana to See Michigan Meet Grange’s Team. By Edward C. Derr United Press Staff Correspondent URBANA, 111., Oct. 24. ned Grange and his Illlnl football warriors played hosts today to Benny Friedman and his Michigan team-mu.'.-t In a game that drew 67,000 fans to Memorial stadium. The twin cities of Champaign and Urbana were stampeded by rooters from Michigan and fans from all sections af the Middle W°st. More than twice the number ot * x>ple living in tho two cities were pounding the pavements toward the huge stadium, and policemen from Chicago directed automobile traffic. Tickets could not be purchased at any price. The 67,000 were sold several weeks ago, and many thousand requests were turned down. A spirit of revenge was obvious In the Michigan par rue ns. It was Grange who spilled Michigan last fall by sprinting to four touchdowns in the first quarter of the MichiganIllinois game. This year Red’s support is weak and the Wolverines are strengthened, which pointed to a Michigan victory today unless Grange broke loose again.

Another Saturday of Thrills for College Fans Wabash Invades Butler Camp for Battle. In all sections of the country today enormous gatherings of football fans were reported on hand to witness grid features. Even in Indianapolis, tho “home front,” bad weather was not expected to discourage many from charging on Irwin Field, Irvington, to view the annual rivalry struggle between the Wabash Little Giants and the Butler Bulldogs.

A heavy advance sale of tickets assured a large crowd here and football followers were willing to take a chance in order to be as close as possible to what promised to bo a thriller fracas on a wet field. Wabash came to the city with its usual force of strong-voiced rooters, staged a parade downtown this morning and then kept up spirits by yell-fests before game time. The contest was scheduled to get under way at 2:30. As the rival warriors prepared for the afternoon’s task, the “dopesters" discussed the merits of the teams and the majority figured the game a “toss-up." However, Butler was the ruling favorite among the boys who like to wager a little on their judgement. Wabash rooters occupied the west bleachers at Irwin field and the Butler supporters were on the east side. Wabash grads held a banquet at the Severin Friday night and tuned up for today’s event. Former Scarlet grid heroes were present and urged the 1925 Wabash warriors "to get out there and win." The annual pep session “went over” in usual style and theer was no lack of entertainment for the old timers. A number of local youths were on both elevens this afternoon, and for this reason added interest was attached to the contest.

DARCY SIGNS Canadian Puncher to Clash With Wallace Monday. Len Darcy, crack Canadian light heavyweight, has been signed to battle Roy Wallace, local mauler, in the ten-round feature scrap at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. Darcy takes the place of Tommy Burns, Detroit, who was forced to cancel the engagement on account of illness. Promoter Harter of the Washington A. C. arranged for the substitution of Darcy and he believes he has obtained a boxer capable of giving Wallace plenty of action. Darcy and Burns recently fought a draw and Friday night, at Grand Rapids, Darcy defeated Jimmy Nuss, Michigan light heavy, in a ten-round scrap. Darcy hails from Vancouver and he is said to carry a wicked wallop. He is more of a puncher than a boxer, which means that local fans may look forward to viewing a slugging match. There will be six bouts Monday, one ten-rounder, four sixes and one four. Dunn Has Kennel When Jack Dunn s Baltimore Orioles are not bringing in blue ribbons his dogs are looking after the laurels.
