tTrrin 7 , the, DOPE j By VEDDER OARD

crucial game for the j j Big Ten title at Michigan . 1 on Saturday Is one very difficult to dope. Two different types ,‘f teams will meet. Minnesota is a crashing aggregation of offmckle smashers with a beautiful shift that worked to perfection against lowa. Michigan relies on a brilliant passing attack behind a line which has proved impregnable so far. But the "Wolverine forwards have not been called upon as yet to ice as powerful a drive as that launched by the Gopher backs. If that great bunch of Michigan forwards can stop the Gopher whirlwind then Michigan will win. If Minnesota's secondary defense is equal to t lie task of smothering the passes of Benny Friedman then it may be a different story. It will be decided on Saturday. Despite stories that Coach Spears will try some passes on his own account, the big game is likely to be a test of the driving power of Minnesota against the brilliant aerial barrage sure to be unleashed by the Wolverines. In the majority of cases this year (lie passes have won. What will happen Saturday? * * * We see in a press account where a high school coach was working to strengthen the jlefense and offense of his teamWhat more could one ask? What more is there to ask? * * * W 1 "—"1TTIT the sun shining and prospects of a fast track at i I Lexington on Saturday, it appears as though Bubbling Over will be a heavy favorite for the Breeders’ PutClrity, feature of the linal day. The 2-year-old worked out Thursday- in impressive fashion. Already the "winter book" for the Kentucky Derby is in operation, and Bubbling Over, along with Pompey and Canter, are the favorites. Pompey is getting the top rating, with Canter second choice and Bubbling Over third. • * * Tim Purdue football team will remain at Bedford tonight and go to Bloomington Saturday morning, Bedford is a good city in which to build a stonewall tietense for the Crimson. * * * The question is, will Minnesota be tyrannous when it meets Michigan? You know—"O, it is excellent To have a giant’s strength, But it is tyrannous To use it like a giant.” * * * We salute thee, 0 great Sun. We implore tliee great Celestial Orb; Hear our plea, we mortals here below. We beseech thee mighty heavenly Giver of Light, Who rules the destinies of this earth, End this football season in a Blaze of Glory. Wo bow to tbee and thy power, But we are surely going to “cuss," If thou fails us this Saturday, * * * mriE Ferndale publicity man is passing up a good bet. Why not wire Red Grange to play against Jonesboro here Sunday? The same goes for the management of tile “Student Prince,” the light opera now playing at English’s. We don't know whether the grid flash can sing or not, but that wouldn’t make any difference. He’s the Prince, anyway. Every press dispatch today started out —Red Grange. * * . o : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY ; o Once again a lady threw us down. We believed in S'stcr Joscllft' on Thursday to the extent of s?."> neross the board, but all we got was the air. Sister had a rough tFp and met with much interferenee. It was a had day. with T.ittle Cook letting the Are go out and Repeater failing to repent. We didn’t get any ret ion on *hree, till Susanna, King Solonian’s Seal and Bruns, all of whleh were withdrawn. The bank roll today is SDT.VJO. It is now time for a few more winners and today is a good time to start. The fall season is right at its close. We will play every race at Lexington. In the first $5 across the hoard will he risked on OARIt. In tile second GABERDINE will get n $lO win, place and show play. .JUPITER may come to life in the third and is Worth $lO win and $5 place. CROSS VILLAGE is the one we dig out in the fourth for a $lO win, place nr.d show wager. * We’ll try to beat Rothermel In the fifth with a long shot. The best liogse doesn’t always win. you may have observed. SWEEP PARK will he played $lO win and place. MASSILLON ami RESONANCE in the final two races will he played $lO across the hoard and combined in a $5. win. place and show parlay. At Bowie PRINCE HAMLET in the fifth. SANDRAE in the sixth and HOT 1)00 in the seventh will lie played $lO across the hoard. AH three will he placed in a $5 across the board parlay. * * * lull between footb. W and 1 1 I basketball seasons in the -i..iJ sport world will be bridged over to some extent by the Hore-mans-Schaefer billiard match for the title at Chicago on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 2. The Belgian champ arrived in Chicago on Thursday. The challenge match is for 1,500 points in blocks of 500 each night. Many believe that Horemans, who has been steadily improving, lias a chance to dethrone Young Jake. Some of those on the Inside have put their dough down that way. It would be some upset, but the sport fans are used to such happenings after the startling form reversals in football. ♦ * * "Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose tlie good we oft might win, By. fearing to attempt.” To its it looks like: Purdue to defeat Indiana N. D. to defeat Northwestern Wabash to defeat De Pauw Wisconsin to defeat Chicago Minnesota to defeat Michigan Illinois to defeat Ohio State Yale to defeat Harvard

THREE FEATURE COLLEGE BATTLES WITHIN STATE SATURDAY

YALE BIG FAVORITE IN GAME Old Eli. in Spite of Injuries., Rules Choice Over Harvard Saturday. Bu Times Special , NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Professing to be downcast because of injuries, Vale nevertheless looks to be a 2 to 1 favorite over Harvard for the last of the “Big Three” games. The Eli coaches know it; they simply do not want the team hampered by overconfidence, as was the case in the Princeton game. Harvard has only a slight chance of victory, the chance possessed by any team with lighters’ hearts and heads. Injuries have crippled the Crimson as well as the Blue, and the last discouraging sight which those who came to watch the Harvard team in its final workout saw was the spectacle of Jack Stafford, the first choice for quarter back, still limping on a rubber-tipped cane. It is extremely doubtful if Stafford will be able to play Saturday, which means that Captain Cheek must go back to quarter. The workouts of the past two days have shown more of the proper spirit, and “Tad” Jones of Yale is a lot more confident than he is willing to admit. Up at Cambridge the problem is a different one. The coaches find themselves well supplied with willing, plastic 4naterlal. It is up to them to mold it into the strongest combination for this last effort of the year. And if Harvard fails to hold Yale —and only a football miracle will achieve this—there will be little tendency to shift the blame for the disastrous season from the bald pate of Head Coach Bob Fisher.

y Safety Play 71 wA’ 7?A Service C<~ lIICAGO, Nov. 20. Chalking up an inteni— tional safety, such as Northwestern did in the Michigan and Purdue games, is not new to the Evanston school. A year ago Captain AVienecke pulled a similar play against Michigan Aggies. With score standing 13 to 7 in favor of the Purple, and but a few minutes to play, Northwest ern found itself but a short distance aw’ay from its own goal on fourth down. The ball was passed to Wie nnecke, who did the unique in football by turning about and running for his own goal line. There he grounded the leather, giving the Aggies two intentional points. The tilt ended shortly after, 13 to 9, in Northwestern’s favor.

Local Football Fans to Flock Out of Town —Homecoming at Bloomington and Crawfordsville. There is not so much quantity this Saturday in Hoosier football circles, but tbe quality hardly could be improved upon. Three big games in the State have the fans guessing as to where to go. The Indiana University stadium dedication and homecoming with Purdue as the grid opponent is undoubtedly the biggest show.

But Northwestern at Notre Dame Is a contest worth going many miles to see and reports are that all seuts are sold. At Crawfordsville, Wabash is celebrating homecoming with De Pauw as the opponent In the annual feature struggle on the gridiron. No Home Attraction Local fans will in droves by auto, bus and train for tbe various grid centers Saturday. There is nothing to hold them at home. Butler is far, far away at Shreveport, La., to meet the Centenary College team. The Southern team is rated strong In Dixie and is reported to have a beefy squad capable of giving Butler an interesting afternoon. ’ Purdue would be an easy favorite over Indiana when the two State institutions meet if it were not for the bear stories emanating from the Boilermaker camp. Just about every man Coach Phelan has is ready for the hospital, according to gloom stories coming out of Lafayette. Such a condition at times, however, has been known to put so much fight into a team that the members forget bruises and sprains in the desperate desire to win against odds. Crimson in Shape There is no doubt that the tough struggle with Northwestern did not help the Purdue team any. I. U., on the other hand, was taking it easy against Rose Poly and reports state the Crimson players are ready for the whistle. The game has all the ear marks of a thriller with both clubs having a repertoire of forward passes that pleases the fans. Indiana played good ball against Ohio State and Northwestern after a rout by Michigan and appears capable of springing an upset on Purdue. Purdue, in spite of tile gloom, will reign a favorite before the battle. The Notre Dame and Purple struggle looks like another close one. Notre Dame is in good shape and Northwestern will put all it has Into the game- Fans remember what a terrific battle the two teams fought last season. Purple Has Crack Team The Purple has one of its best teams, and with Baker in the game is a distinct threat to any club. The South Bend team Is the favorite with the dopesters. There is r.o doubt about the team everyone “likes” in the Wabash-De Pauw scrap. The Greencastle outfit has had a bad. year, the only bright spot being a C-to-C tie with Butler. These rivalry affairs sometimes kick the dope bucket all over the lot, but it hardly seems probable that the Tigers have the stuff to upset the Little Giants. The mayor of Crawfordsville will present the De Pauw students with the.“key to the city,” and the huge gold key which has been prepared, will In turn be presented by the De Pauw students to the captain of tiie winning team, following the game. All Crawfordsville Is preparing for the game, and the streets will have a holiday atmosphere, for the merchants are decorating and flags and bunting are to be hung from every post. Earlham, which surprised last week by beating Franklin, Is at Muncie to play Muneie Normal In another Skate contest. MANUAL - MOORESVILLE The Manual High School basketball team will play its second game of the season tonight in a contest at Mooresville. The first game resulted in a victory over Tipton. The lineup tonight will be the same as in the previous encounter: Marshall and Boswell, forwards; Shaw, center; Rhodes and Brandt; guards.

Zuppke and Griffith Differ on Ruling Bil Unitrd Press CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—While Coach Bob Zuppke and other Illinois University officials hold that Red Grange Is eligible to play Saturday, even if he had signed a professional contract, provided he did not receiv* money in advance, Commissioner John Griffith of the Big Ten Conference thinks otherwiseIf Grange has signed a contract to play professional football, he is disqualified from the Ohio State game, Griffith holds. (jRIKQWZ QUESTIONS J. I* there any discrimination made In the penalty when a player merely runs Into or roughs the kicker? 2. When the defending aide It penalized for running into or roughing the player who has kicked the ball, how Is the penalty enforced? L If • loose ball, that Is In possession of neither side. Is purposely kicked by one player to prevent a player of the other side from recovering it. what action • taken? ANSWERS 1. There Is a difference In the penalty. For merely running into the kicker, a loss of five yards is entailed, but for roughing the kicker it is three times as severe, the loss of fifteen yards. 2. The penalty shall be measured from the spot where the ball was put into play. 3. The Meking of the loose ball in order to prevent an opponent from recovering it is a “bone play,” since that ae’t itself gives the ball to the opposition at the spot whore the foul occurred. H. S. MEDALS Purdue Alumni Make City Awards Nov. 30. The Purdue Alumni Association of Indianapolis will meet at the Severin hotel, Alonday, Nov. 30, at 12:15 to award medals to fifteen stars of the local public high school grid teams. Purdue boosters do this annually to encourage interscholastic football. Coaches and newspaper men vote on the individuals to receive the awards. Selections will be made from players of Technical, Manual, Shortridge and Broad Ripple High Schools. CATHEDRAL GRID SCRAP Cathedral High School football team held its final scrimmage Thursday for the game with St. Xavier Prep at Louisville Saturday. Fullback Egan is recovering from his injuries received at Linton and will be In the battle. Joe Harmon, brother of the Cathedral captain, is the coach of St. Xavier.

STATUS OF STAR DEBAJED Possibility of Grange Beif|g Ruled Ineligible Before Saturday Finale. Red Grange, football wizard, avoided newspaper men as much as possible today In an effort to enjoy some nuich-needed rest before yerforming in his last college grid encounter with Ulini against Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio, Saturday. Grange lias been pestered so much by news hounds that he has been handicapped in his training for his last gridiron romp for Illinois. The sport world, that part of it that is like the curious old woman, has been worked up to a high pitch over Red's future plans, and reports and denials follow in order every hour. Eligible or Not? The sober-thinking sport fans, who readily give Grange credit for being a Vonder man, are not curious to know what ho intends to do after Saturday, but they are concerned over his status as a college grid player. There is a possibility, It Is said, of Red being declared ineligible before the game at Columbus. John Griffith, Big Ten commissioner of athletics, according to wire reports, has stated that if Grange has signed a contract to pla> pro football, he is outlawed from further participation in conference sports. Other reports say officials of the University of Illinois have expressed the opinion that the signing of a contract would not bar the player. Red said Thursday night lie had not signed any papers. Various promoters said they were certain he had. Griffith Is Boss So there you are. Maybe Red will play Saturday and again lie may not. It is believed Commissioner Griffith will be in Columbus Saturday morning to make a definite decision concerning Grange’s eligibility. It’s almost a dead cinch Grange is going to become a professional football player, and he may be declared a pro before kick-off time Saturday. It Is said Ohio State authorities in no way have questioned Red’s status, the whole rumpus apparently having been started by individuals outside of collegiate circles. Saturday Radio Grid Conuriaht.
