Football Reviews

■By Dick MiHer

SODAY was official roll call day at the Big Ten colleges. Football coaches officially took charge of the squads at Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame, but at Wabash, De Pauw, Butler, Earlham, Franklin, Rose Poly and others the coaches have been working with the squads since Sept. 8. Down at I. U. football was again ofi the tongues of the student body, the occasion being that Pat Page, the new coach, was to work with the team. Page held spring practice and is not altogether new to the players and student body.- Indiana is expected to win more than half its games. Jimmy Phelan, at Purdue, is known quantity at the engineering school. Tom Hogan, captain, has been working the squad daily and Phelan’s chief worry will be to get •the team in condition for hard early season games. Material at Purdue is about the same as last year and a good season is expected. Rockne at Notre Dame is all smiles and every one expects a great team again this pear. Many veterans, a strong freshman teaqi from last year, and the reserves form the usual large number to pick from. Notre Dame might again upset the country with an undefeated team. They play Indiana this year and the old battle between “Rock" and Page will be resumed. Pete Vaughan is strutting a flock of smiles these days. tlaumma Neae and Frank Reese are aiding in the grooming of the “Little Giants" for the Wabash fall campaigh and reports from the camp are that the Wabashers are slated to go big. De Pauw will play its second season uhder W. L. Hughes. More than fifty candidates are out for the Old Gold team and just how many of them are first team caliber is not known, but at any rate, De Pauw now knows the Hughes system and a better team than last year is expected. Eddie Duggan, at Franklin, is saying little. He had a fine freshman team last year, and while he lost most of his forward wall, among them Buck Rhorabaugh, and Red Rhorabaugh from the back field, it is thought FrankJin is holding something under cover. It is known Butler is the team both Franklin and Wabash are laying for this year. * ♦ Earlham looks good under Coach Ross, who did well last year, and Rose Poly will play its first season with the Freshman rule bars lifted. Heze Clark spent the summer about various coaching schools and with several prominent western 'lndiana high school football stars entering Rose, the team this year is expected to be better than ever. The Normal Schools, Terre Hauie, Danville and Muncie, will open late and play their first games soon after registration day, a handicap to the coaches. They are all looking to a good year, with more players on the squads than ever before. Hanover had its hard time last year and most of the team will be veteran this season. Evansville College, that surprised many in basketball, will make others take notice in football, according to Coach Harmon. Little is known of the Merom, Valparpis\ Oakland City and Manchester college situations.

NATIONAL LEAGUE FLAG FIGHT MAY GO DOWN TO LAST DAY

BREWERS DOWNED IN FJRST Great Pitching by Speece Is Feature —Two More Milwaukee Battles. Second game with the Brewers today and another chance was offered the Indians to make further strides toward ousting the Milwaukee gang from second place. The pennant scramble between Colonels and Brewers is practically all over but the cheering and about all Milwaukee can hope for now is to grab the runner-up honors. The Brewers’ stockholders have no complaints, however. The team drew well over the 300,000 mfirk at home this season and the Brewer bosses cashed in heavily. In fact 'it is said Milwaukee attendance reached 330,000, which means a golden harvest for the club treasury. Added to that, Outfielder Shulte brought a huge price, being purchased by the St. Louis Browns for spring delivery. In thq series opener between Brewers and Indians Tuesday, the men of Lelivelt got a taste of the remarkable pitching the Bushmbn have been getting recently and the locals won, 3to 2. Byron Speece dazzled the invaders and held them to six hits and one earned run. The Brewer marker that crossed the plate in the ninth was helped over by an error. Speece struck out five batters and walked one. He was not touched for a hit until Griffin beat out a bunt after two out in the fourth. “Griff" was the first Brewer to get on base. It was great twirling by Speece that Avas the outstanding feature of the afternoon’s pastiming and about 1,000 customers were well entertained. The Tribe collected ten hits, nine off Jonnard in seven innings and one off Eddleman in one stanza. The Indians rallied in the second to get their three runs. Other opportunities to score were gummed up and thirteen Tribesmen were left stranded. Airismlth came to life and drove in two runs and Matthews socked in the other. Ainsmith got a double, single and two walks. Pitcher Carl Boone, purchased from Terre Haute, joined the Indian staff Tuesday. The Milwaukee 'series closes Thursday.

Wild Struggle Continues, With Cincy Reds Leading by Slight Margin. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The Cincinnati Reds, their pitching staff working like a well-oiled machine and the entire team hitting hard and fielding with precision, were out in front in the spectacular National League pennant race today. The Reds, by taking their seventeenth game of the season from Brooklyn while the St. Louis Cardinals were idle Tuesday, broke t,hc tie and led by half a game. The Pittsburgh Pirates, whose pitching staff likewise is functioning with precision, stayed in the fight by giving the New York Giants a 5-0 beating. The Pirates are two games behind the Cardinals. All three teams were to play today, and the Reds, seemingly invincible against the weak eastern teams, have an excellent chance of sweeping the series with Brooklyn. The formidable Red Lucas w’as expected to pitch for Cincinnati. The Pirates were to meet the Giants again while St. Louis moved into Philadelphia to meet the tailend Phillies. After the surprising slump of the Cards against the weak Boston Braves, the law of averages should wbrk in their favor in their six games with the Phillies. The chances are all in favor of a fight to the last day of the season. Sept. 26, with a play-off possible. Three teams so evenly-matched seldom hit the end of the season so closely together as the Cards, Reds and Pirates. Opinion here gives the Reds a slight edge in pitching strength, but it is only slight. The breaks of the game could glvef victory to any of the three. The pennant in the American League probably will bo decided definitely in Cleveland this week, where the leading New York Yankees meet the second place Indians in six games. The Yanks have a five and a half game lead, and the Indians figure that if they can take four games, they are still in the race. If they sweep the series, they will be in the lead.

Bu United Press FOREST HILLS. N. Y„ Sept. 15. —A badly limping Tilden, suffering from an injured cartilage and wrenched tendons, was to meet a brilliant young player today, Arnold W. Jones, as the battle for the national tennis singles championship simmered down to a field of twelve players. Tuesday one of Champion Tllden’s proteges, Neil Sullivan ( 18, was the star’s opponent and evidenced a willingness to allow the crippled champion to score an easy victory. But even then Tilden lost the opening set. He took the next three, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1. Sullivan's strokes were gentlemanly placed, not too far from Tilden’s vicinity, so. the chnmpion was not forced to exert his bad leg. The surprise of the day was the defeat of the Japanese star, Takeichi Harada, by Dr. George King. Today King, one of the best allround players in the game, was matched against Jacques Brugnon, French Davis cup player. Other matches today were: William Johnson vs. Edward Jacobs, Francis T.

BETTING SCANDAL FEARED Rosenberg and Manager Barned in Illinois—Taylor Bout Called Off. £j. By Bert M.

Rosenberg previously had been barred from rings in New York and California, following reports pf unethical conduct. The Rosenberg-Taylor bout, eehedy uled for Thursday night, was called off following reports New York gamblers had descended on Chicago with heavy bets to place on Cham, pion Rosenberg, when Taylor earlier had been a top-heavy favorite. The Illinois boxing commission, lri its statement barring the bout and conferring the title upon Taylor, gives as the reason for the action: a . n< J Rosenberr ignored our rules pertaining to forfeits after the commission li;ul granted several days ?£<*■ and further because of the Infer*. °t political and other influences per- ‘, S nr appointment of a referee. jOPal mid Rosenberg, j n our opinion, are boxing!" oaUbcr o£ me “ wht > belong in Forfeits should have been posted with the signing of a contract July 24.

The commission, however, heard through underground channels that gamblers were awaiting the appointment of a referee, to lay a half mil. lion dollars on Rosenberg. The gamblers, it is said, ‘ wanted to be sure the decision would not be too unfair to Rosenberg, and were prepared to back their bets with threats as to what would happen if Tailor won. Detectives had been ordered to appear at ringside to forestall any violence, but the commission heard of the action and called a halt. ALTE VS.
