It doesn’t matter If there are Saturdays like Oct. 30, when the Navy beat Michigan and Columbia becomes the gem of the gridiron to Its own fond rooters by beating Cornell for the first time in history. % Nothing stops the dope from flowing, no matter how “cold’’ the guesses the week before. There is always another list of games; always more predictions to make. WABASH is being made the favorite over Butler at Irwin field Saturday. Some of the boys about town are willing to wager 10 to 9 on the chances of the Scarlet. Others will “give” six points—that is, they believe the visitors will win by six points. Such reasoning looks logical enough. NORTHWESTERN is the choice over Purdue. There is much respect for the Boilermakers, but the Purple’s great battle against Notre Dame and the general excellence of tlje Northwestern attack and defense makes the Evanston club a very highly rated eleven. Purdue’s opponents are a 10 to 8 choice and the idea is prevalent that they will win by a touchdown. NOTRE DAME is a 5 to 1 choice over Indiana IT.l T . It would indeed be a startling upset if the “Irish” lost to I. IT. They are generally rated three touchdowns better than the Crimson in spite of the fact that it is thought Rocltne will have his club "under wraps” on account of the Army contest the next Saturday. In the Big Ten ILLINOIS seems to be the unanimous choice over Chicago. The odds are 2 to 1. Many are predicting an Illinois victory by 13 and 14 points in spite of the fact that the Maroons usually give the Illini a real battle. Nobody seems to think much of Stagg’s outfit, this season, MR MICA'S is a 10 to 4 selection over Wisconsin .The Wolverines’ defeat by (lip Navy does not seen to have affected the confidence in Yost’s aggregation around tins city. “Michigan will win by 13,” is the line of talk. The Badgers have proved a disappointment. MINNESOTA always has a tough lime with lowa, but that doesn't the Gophers from being the 10 to 6 choices over the ITawkeyes. There seems to be a feeling that lowa will give the Swedes a battle, add some are putting themselves on record that the team from the North will not win by eight points. The Harvard-Princeton contest. eastern feature, is extremely difficult to dope. When these clubs get together previous scores mean nothing. HARVARD has been coming strong and must be given the edge. There are plenty of Princeton supporters, however. They usually want tlie best of the odds —7 to 10 or 8 to 10. N. Y. U. and Carnegie Tech have exceptionally strong teams this year and their clash on Saturday should be interesting. NEW YORK U. being made the favorite, hut there are those who are willing to take a chance on Carnegie if the odds are right. The guessers believe it will be a close score. PENNSYLVANIA is a 2 to 1 favorite over Penn State in their annual rivalry game. SY'RACUSE is a 10 to 8 choice over Georgetown. Other selections in the East are Y'ARE over Maryland, PITTSBURGH over West Virginia, LAFAY’ETTE over Rutgers, HOLY CROSS over Fordham. In the South, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt go round and round It Is a hard one to “figger,” but it may be GEORGIA TECH. In Hoosierdom there are some games among the smaller schools that are interesting mainly to the rooters of the institutions involved. FRANKLIN should beat Earlham, and HANOVER should defeat Indiana Central. Not so much is known about Illinois Wesleyan, except that team downed Dp Pauw last season. We’ll string along with DE PAITW and hope Sturtridge gets loose a couple of times. At Danville CENTRAL NORMAL eleven should not have a great deal 'rrt trouble with Manchester.

AT PIMLICO Big Field for Rich Futurity Turf Event.. Rv United Press PIMLICO RACE TRACK, BALTIMORE, Nov. s.—An open field appeared likely for the rich Pimlico Futurity, at one mile, to be decided this 'afternoon. The purse was worth between $50,000 and SOO,OOO. '' • Scapa Flow, Osmond and Terma--gwnt, at the head of the 2-year-old list earlier in the season, were not entered, but there were enough good ones to make the race worth while. The strong H. P. Whitney enp-y of Valorous, Whiskery, Bostonian and Maid O’ the Mist was expected to be installed favorite. Lord Chaucer, who sprang from obscurity to fame by taking down the $50,000 Hopeful at Saratoga during the summer, got a good play. E. B. McLean’s Jock drew some of the wise money on the basis of a recent sizzling workout. The Whitney stable, already the season's greatest money winner, will he within striking distance of the Rancociiff’record of $438,849 If James Rowe sends In a winner. Fair weather and a fast track insured a truly run race. The only early scratches were Festive, Sun Forward and Brown Bud. A field of nearly twenty was believed certain.

HOOSIER GRID FANS KEYED UP FOR SATURDAY EXCITEMENT

Wabash-Butler Fracas Expected to Produce Usual Thrills—Purdue at Northwestern, Indiana at N. D. By William J. Dunn United Press Sports Writer Indiana college teams are keyed for a program of week-end battles that is sure to excite much interest among Iloosier fans. Although Saturday’s schedule for the country at large does not include as many games of importance as the two preceding weeks, Indiana’s program—with Purdue at Northwestern, Indiana at Notre Dame and Wabash at Butler for features —will not suffer from lack of excitement and competition. v

Indiana’s invasion of South Bend for a tilt with Notre Dame is of especial interest, inasmuch as the game will mark Coach Rockne’s only encounter with a State team this year. Notre Dame is heavily favored by sport critics everywhere, but Indiana can be counted upon to provide the Irish with an interesting battle. Wabash Slight Favorite Wabash will come to Butler a slight favorite to topple the Bulldogs. The two teams are traditional rivals and feeling is high in the competing schools. Wabash has come to Indianapolis many times favored to win, and almost as many times the Bullodgs have managed to nose them out at the finish. One way of doping the strength of these two teams, which is about as uncertain as any other method, is through the Lombard-Bradley Tech games. Two weeks ago Bradley Tech beat Lombard, 14-6. Last week Lombard trimmed Butler, 18-0, and Bradley trimmed Wabash, 14-o,' This can be taken to mean that Wabash is strdnger, or it can be taken to •mean nothing at all. Big Ten Feature Purdue will go to Evanston for the feature out-State game involving an Indiana team. This battle also will be the feature 6ig Ten game as both Purdue and Northwestern are undefeated in the Big Ten, although Purdue has been tied by Wisconsin. Northwestern is favored to win from the Boilermakers by -most critics and the final score probably will see the Purple still in the Big Ten race, but Coach Jimmy Phelan has his Boilermakers ir. excellent condition and probably will give the Purple a terrific battle. Chances are great for an “upset.” De Pauw is favored to nose out Illinois Wesleyan when the two Methodist aggregations clash at Greencastle. De Pauw looks better than in the past three seasons and should halt the out-state eleven. Earlham at Franklin Earlham is Franklin's Saturday opponent at Franklin. An age-old feud between the schools will insure close competition and hard fighting, with the Baptists favored to win the final decision. Valparaiso invades Adrian and is slightly favored to defeat the Michigan eleven. Hanover, by virtue of its victory over Evansville, is to be the favorite when It plays host to Indiana Central. Evansville will play host to the Rolla School of Mines and it looks like an uphill battle for the Purple Aces. Eastern Kentucky Normal, which meets Indiana State Normal at Terre Haute, should provide all the opposition the Terre Haute eleven cares to handle in one afternoon.

H. S. Big Ten Grid Card Attracts

Morton High School of Richmond will go to Marion this evening for the feature high school grid game of the week-end. The Red Devils will meet the Marion Giants Saturday afternoon in a game which may have direct bearing upon the ultimate outcome of the Big Ten high school race in Indiana. Morton, with Mishawaka and Emerson of Gary, is one of the three undefeated teams in the Indiana high school football conference, and a Marion victory would narrow the field to but two outstanding contenders. Mishawaka, having finished it* conference schedule undefeated, is sure of at least a share in the title, while Emerson of Gary and Morton of Richmond have chances to win joint honors. Central of Evansville was put out of the race for first place last Saturday when the South Bend Bears Invaded the downstate city and defeated the Central eleven, 13-0. Two other conference games are on this week’s program, but the Marlon-Morton game will be the feature. Central of Evansville and Tech of Indianapolis, were to clash here this afternoon at Tech field. Both have dropped decisions to South Bend. Muncie and Elwood will clash in the other conference game of the week-end and critics are unanimous in picking Muncie inasmuch as Elwood already has dropped four conference games and has shown no signs of improvement. HEIGHTS A. C’s. The University Heights A. C’s. will practice Tuesday, Nov. 9, at College gymnasium. Salters, Klein, Jones, Fishback, Simpson, Mayer, Fable, Catt and Horton please report. For games write E. L. Truitt, .1009 Hanna Ave., city.

INDIANS WORK ON LINE-UP Pitcher Leverett Bought From Sox —Many Applications Received. Secretary Clauer of the Indians announced today the J new manager of the local team to succeed Ownio Bush, who left the locals to pilot Pittsburgh, probably would be appointed next week. Owner Smith is due back in the city -within a few days and he will look over the list of applicants. Clauer said there are a number of good men seeking the job. In fact, according to the Tribe "sec,” about forty applications have been received. Clauer would not say whether the new Tribe boss would be a playing manager or bench pilot. The latest addition to the Tribe: roster is Pitcher Leverett, right-1 hander. Pie was purchased from the Chicago White Sox Thursday night and will report to the Indians in the spring at their new training camp at Sanford, Fla. It was announced a few weeks ago that Pitcher -Lloyd Davies, southpaw- had been obtained in the Dutch Henry deal with the Giants, but it seems as though Jersey City owned Davies and it became necessary for the Tribe to deal with the International League team, and the southpaw was purchased. Pitcher Jack Wisner, who was here on a loan the past season, becomes Tribe property in the Henry deal and the Giants will make up the value of Davies with cash or another player. Leverett was '•handicapped by Illness the past season, but his 1925 record was good. He won thirteen games and lost eighteen for the tailend Columbus A. A. team and the earned run average off him was low. Ownie Bush tried to obtain Leverett for the Indians last spring. His home is in Gary, Ind. He is a vet eran and knows how to pitch. FRYING IS WINNER Bu United Press NEAV YORK, Nov. s.—Al Irving, 138 pounds, defeated Alex Toveriski, 141 pounds, on points in ten rounds Thursday.

With Chuck Wiggins In town doing his chores dally at the Arcade gym and Roy Wallace working out in Cincinnati under tho coaching of Frank Rappold, Interest in the clash between the fiig fellows at Tomlinson Hall Monday has picked up a marked degree. The veteran Wiggins, hearing that many ring followers are figuring he’s likely to he a victim of Wallaces k. o. punch, has been digging into serious training. Instead of doing roadwork in the morning, he is doing some rabbit hunting, and after long hikes outdoor, he goes to the Arcade gym in the afternoon and blows through a strenuous grind.

The affair Monday has caused wild interest among Indianapolis fistic followers. In fact, it is an "Indiana apolls battle.” Youth vs. Age.
