S'liimiiiimii!* TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER 6ARD

-~rjHICH of the following: YU games would you like to see Saturday: Georgia Tech vs. Alabama, Illinois vs. lowa, Michigan vs. Minnesota, Notre Dame vs. Penn State, Pennsylvania vs. Chicago, Syracuse vs. Army, Princeton vs. Navy, Purdue vs. Wisconsin, Indiana University vs. Northwestern or Yale vs. Dartmouth? We save the best one until the last. Dartmouth at Yale-—that’s our choice. would come Minnesota at Michigan. Os course, this is not taking into consideration Hoosierdom’s interest in its own State schools. A game that may fool some of the wise ones is Syracuse at Army. This Syracuse team may have one of the best outfits in the East. That gfme is likely to be a thriller. * * • Ooacli Phelan of Purdue has made a mistake. Stories from the Boilermakers’ camp indicate that he has decided upon Snow to play tackle in place of the injured Eiclunann. Up there in Wisconsin they know quite a bit I about snow. In fact, it is said " that Coach Little has several plowing backs. They may be snow plows. • • • mOWA “scouted” the ButlerIllinois game and saw many Butler forward passes completed. Reports drifting in from lowa City are to the effect that “Cowboy 1 ’ Kutsch is heaving passes/ in all directions during practice. No team is stronger than its weakest link. But the Hawkeyes must not be too sure. It’s a ten to one shot that Zuppke has been fixing up that pass defense link this week. He is quite a forge hand—this man Zuppke. * * * Unknown sophomores have a way of suddenly making themselves felt in football games. While all the dopesters are talking abeut Lewis and Baker of Northwestern in the I. U. game at Evanston on Saturday none of them mentions a certain back by the name of Bennett on the Indiana eleven. He will be “discovered” next Saturday. * * * .J. a ELL, it looks as though they VI W will have to call oft the Navy-Princeon game. First the Tigers come out with the yarn that Slagle cannot play—and what is Princeton without its Slagle. Then the Navy retaliates with the story that Shapely Is, not in shape. But here is the surprising thing about all this. When the smoke of tattle has cleared away probably it ■will be found out that Slagle and r Shapely threw away their crutches, picked up their beds and walked —even ran. • * Harry Wills did not follow Dempsey’s play of saying, “The better man won.” Harry had any number of alibis and gave the fans their choice. Among them were: A strained back—a bad cold—lmpurities in the system—bad hands —too long a lay-off. * * • When Sharkey defeated Wills he also landed a solar plexus punch out the New York boxing commission. Those gentlemen insisted that Wills was the logical opponent for Dempsey. • * * EHIS seems to be an H. P. Whitney year on the race tracks. Every day that owner’s horses turn in victories. It is unusual if a Whitney entry does not account for a race at Laurel or Jamaica. Wednesday, Beaming won the second at Jamaica and Afterglow took the sixth. The Whitney l horses were one, two in the latter. Jockey Maiben rode both winners. Whitney had three winners on Tuesday.

ON INDIANA GRIDIRONS AT INDIANA BLOOMINGTON—Defense was the Indiana keyword here today as Coach Pat Page put his charges through their final lengthy workout for Northwestern at Evanston Saturday.

I AT NOTKE DAME SOUTH BEND—The post of right tackle, vacated by the injury to Joe Boland at Minneapolis last Saturday will go to “Bull” Polisky, Notre Dame coaches have indicated from their attitude this week.

Butler Expects Real Opposition From V ' Baptists in First of More Important State Games. One of the first of the more important football games of the year will be played at Irwin Field Saturday when Franklin and Butler clash. The locals ran wild against Earlham and Hanover, but the Baptists are considered more of a serious proposition.

The contest is the feature of home coming day of the local institution and some special stunts will be put on. The visitors have showed some power this year and their main trouble seems to be lack of reserve material. Coach Duggan’s outfit put the skids under State Normal last Saturday, 33 to 9, while Butler was being defeated at Illinois, 38 to 7. The Indianapolis school in defeat may have learned more than Franklin In victory. There Is the point. It has been said the Butler line is a vulnerable point. The veterans at Urbana doubtless showed the Hlnklemen a few tricks. Experience is the best teacher. A Good Line The Butler forwards are likely to get a test against the Baptists. Reports are to the effect Duggan has a line that is capable of giving quite an argument. Both clubs have been working hard this week in preparation for the battle. Franklin, would like nothing better than to upset the locals. It has been some time since that happened. In fact, one must delve back into the records of 1918 to find Butler on the short end. In 1924 Franklin came close, but that was all. The score was 13 to 7 in Butler's favor. One thing seems fairly certain. Franklin ' must * stop some mighty fast backfield men if they would break the jinx. Hinkle has quite an array of ball carriers and forward passers. Fromuth, Collier, Cochrane, Leichty, Miller and company are a nifty outfit. Swede Full Back Duggan's backfield has been improved by the return of Oas. a Swede from Minnesota, who was in Europe this summer and did not return until late this fall. He is a full back. Little “half pint” Chapin will be directing the play from his position at quarter back. A good guess at the starting line-ups would be: FRANKLIN. BUTLER Kannmacker L. E Gcisort Reid L. T Fletcher Kincaid L. O Thaune Dugan C Floyd Homaher it. G Puett F.aHter R. T Bugs: Lyons RE Black Chapin Q Fromuth Wooden L. H Cochrane Rake R. H Collier Oas F.B Miller JASPER BUSY Reid Pushes Team to Meet Cathedral H. S. Bit. Times Special JASPER, Ind., Oct. 14.—The Jasper College Academy eleven lost to Cathedral High School of Indianapolis last year, but it probably will be a different story next Saturday afternoon when the rival teams clash at Washington Park in the capital city. The Jasper warriors defeated the Vincennes College eleven last week, 13 to 6, and expect to add Cathedral to the 1926 victory list. Coach Reid is keeping the boys on the go this week preparing for the battle. Heinrichs, Meier, Scanlon and Dux of the Jasper team are from Indianapolis.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

With Kokomo

Tudy lialir Bu Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 14.—Tudy Bahr, who made himself famous at Purdue University two seasons ago, is now on the roster of the Kokomo American Legion pro football team. Bahr has been instrumental in hanging up the three victories made this fall over the Riversides of Indianapolis, Elwood Ix?glon and last Sunday was on the heaving end of a pass to llarmeson that resulted in the only touchdown of the game and sent the Middletown (Ohio) Armcos to defeat, 7-0. Next Sunday Bahr will be in action here against the strong South Bend Pros, of which the Bergmans and other former Notre Dame stars will he the leading players.

I The Ash Pile - “Well, at any rate," Harry Wills can say, “I had a lot of fun challenging Jack Dempsey. I made him think I was good.” Gene Tunney is a former Marine. Jack Sharkey, who beat Wills, Is a former sailor. Here's another chance for the standing army to sit down while the devil dogs and gobs do the talking. The way Is now cleared for a Wills-Ilempsey match. It won’t mean anything. Try and get somebody to offer a purse. Put 'em on in a curtain ralsfer—a four-round prelim. A “million dollar match” what used to be! Now' they’re both In the same boat using alibis for oars. Babe Ruth’s second home run in world series went out of the St. Louis park and crashed tfirough a plate glass window of an auto salesroom. After the game officials of the auto firm presented the swat king with a Chevrolet sedan. The big fellow wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his iiioutlt, but there must have been a golden hall hat somewhere around the Ruth household when he arrived. The stork that dropped George Herman down the chimney will go down in history as the world’s greatfc baseball scout. The song “The Farmer Hauled Another Load Away, Hay, Hay, Hay,” is beginning to apply to "Farmer Joe” Cooper, Hoosier welter. He is "making hay” boxing in the East and meets Lew Tendler at Madison Square Garden Friday. Three eenters and a half back were injured in grid practice at Wabash College Wednesday. Sounds like a St. Louis baseball celebration casualty list. Old Man Browning says he wanted to be a loving husband, but "Peaches,” his girl wife, was as cold as Ice. Maybe she’d make a good channel swimmer. In the Homo Brew League. It’s a week old. Oh, boy, what a wallop! Smoko that creamy foam!
