STIRRIN! the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

r— —iOOTBALL dopester3 are Ip' I conservative. They never i * I believe a team which has a good record in the past will lose. They never give an eleven which has not much of a “rep” a chance of victory over one of the "big” clubs. The fans' memories are remarkable. If a team is good in 1925 it must be good in 1926; if it isn't much one season it isn’t to be considered the next year. One fan wagered 10 to 1 that Michigan would defeat the Navy. Many just would not believe that Purdue could beat Chicago. IP just wasn’t being done. The Wolverines are a 10 to 6 choice over Minnesota next Saturday. If there ever was an even game this one looks tliat way, but then they all remember that Michigan defeated the Gophers at the start of the season, 20 to 0. And Michigan has not lost a game in the Big Ten. Minnesota, the way the dopesters figure, could not itnprove through the following weeks. The Swedes are not supposed to win, according to the fans with such good memories. The contest is a big IF. There is no doubt of the crushing power of the northmen. They very likely will score. But will the Minneapolis team be able to stop the great passing attack, the main spring of which is Benny Friedman, perhaps the greatest tosser of the pigskin in football today? It goes without saying that if Coach Spears’ men can stop the aerial barrage of Michigan that the latter wall lose its first Western Conference game. Those who are willing t-o wager IQ to 6 must bo very sure that the Gophers who burrow through forward walls know noticing about the higher altitudes in which passes fly. The same thing is noticeable in the Ohio State-Ililnois contest. Illinois has always held the Buckeyes, so they will do it again. That is the line of reasoning used. Although Ohio is the favorite, many are willing to bet that the Columbus (Ohio) club will not win by seven points. Granted that Illinois is a good defensive team, it looks as though Ohio has a decided edge. Illinois, when one gets right down to brass taclts, has not showax anything remarkable this season. Their best game w r as against Michigan. Zuppke’s crew barely defeated Pennsylvania, but that Eastern club was much over-rated. Liooking at this season’s results and not delving back into history, we see no reason why Ohio State should not win by seven points at Illinois. It is more likely to be thirteen. It has taken all year to convince the skeptical that Northwestern has a real club and that Chicago is in the midst of an off-season/ After next Saturday Ohio State will have a higher place In the estimation of many. * * * lONEY is spoken of as the root of all evil. It is mighty ■ good stuff to have, but it does cause trouble. Some of the changes made In the managerial ranks of the major league clubs came because of financial reasons. At least, that is the way it loQks. Some of the things done by the baseball magnates .ire taking the national pastime out of the category of sport and putting it solely under the head of big business. Concern for the treasury had (Cont'nucd on Page 9)

MAJORITY OF 818 ELEVENS TO CLOSE SCHEDULES SATURDAY

IN FINAL SESSION OF YEAR No More Practice Scrimmage for Purdue —Bring on the Crimson! Bv Times Snerial LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 18.— With the annual Indiana game only two days away, the Boilermakers indulged In their last hard workout of the season late this afternoon, with only a light drill on tap for Friday evening s practice card. Scrimmage sessions were held on Tuesday and Wednesday and offensive and defensive work was stressed at both. Coach Phelan is seeking to speed up his offensive and has devoted no little time to Purdue’s forward pass offense and defense. Spencer and Eickmann are the only two members of the squad who will be unable to play Saturday. Spencer dislocated an elbow against Northwestern and a leg Injury suffered early in tjie season Is bothering Eickmann. The game will mark the last appearance of an even dozen of Purdue football players in an Old Gold and Black grid uniform. The mep lost include four backs, Houston, Gladders, Smiley and Isley; and Malone, Spencer, Snow, Winkler, Deephouse, Mlrcau, Captain Hogan and Threlfall, linemen. Practically all of these men have played for three years with the Boilermakers. The “old oaken bucket.” symbolical of Purdue-Indiana football rivalry, is on display at the Memorial Union building. Two links, one an "I” and the other a “P”, bearing last year’s 0-0 score are attached to the handle of the bucket, representing last year’s game. Purdue will retain the bucket here if victorious, while It will go back to Bloomington if the Crimson eleven wins Saturday. A sell-out of .reserved seats was Indicated today, with only a few hundred left and plans were being made for the erection of temporary bleachers across the south end of the Ross-Ade stadium. Ten thousand general admission tickets will be available for the game. ELK RESULTS / ________________ Club Boxing Supplies Crowd With Real Action. In royal “opposition” last night, the monthly boxing show at the Elks Club Was well attended and a fine fistic program was enjoyed. A good job of matchmaking was done by Mike Hyland, who organized the card, and every bout was almost evenly contested, the winners having little edge to boast of. Results were as follows: Ehrman Clark shaded Rip Wilson in an eight-round bout at ISO pn’inris. Allen Watson had a slight edge over Johnnv Murphy in an eight-round match at 124 pounds. _ Soldier Jack McCullough of Ft. Harrison stepped on the gas in the last two round* of his go with Tiger Purvis of Kokomo, and was entitled to the honors, it was a six-stanza setto at 153 pounds. In the opening six-rounder. Jackie Dugan of Lafayette and Johnny Bair of Indianapolis went the half-dozen sessions at top speed, with honors even. Dugan landed a lot of resounding smacks but thev appeared to be with the open glove. Bair was stronger at the finish. The Gray brothers, a pair of smart little kids, opened the show with a three-round exhibition, and the usual battle royal closed the card. Mike Mitchell and Plez Oliver refereed. —'

Four Major Undefeated Teams in Action —Rivalry Features Numerous. • By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Corrcsvondcnt NEW YORK, Nov. 18. —Four of the major undefeated teams that still have hopes for the 1926 national football crown will "feature a program Saturday that just about brings the season to a close. With the exception of a scattering of Thanksgiving day games, ono or two’ big games for Nov. 27, Notre Dame’s final game In California and a possible post-season intersectional game or two, the season will end this week. Notre Dame, Stanford, New York University and Brown will get into action again, but the Navy will rest for a week in preparation for the Army game and Alabama will be idle until Thanksgiving day. Notre Dame against Drake and Brown against New Hampshire State ought to keep their imposing records unblemished, but New York University is expecting the hardest game of the season from Nebraska, and Stanford may have a severe test against California. Stanford, according to dope from the Pacific Coast, is at least two touchdowns better than California, but California, finishing a disastrous season, has everything to gain and nothing to lose. The Yale-Harvard battle will be for the booby prize of the late “Big Three” and for £he championship of the new “Big Two,” which Harvard assumes to be the aristocracy of the East since Princeton asked Harvard not to play any more. The big Army team, which was defeated last week by Notre Dame, will play Ursinus in a game that is not causing worry to the coaches. Three important games are scheduled in the Western Conference. Michigan and Northwestern, leading the “Big Ten,” will try to keep their conference records unblotted. Michigan will play its second game of the season against Minnesota and Northwestern will play lowa. Ohio State and Illinois will meet In another Important game, although there is no bearing on the curtference title attached unless Michigan and Northwestern should flop. At Lafayette, Ind., the two Hoosier Big Ten teams. Purdue and Indiana, will clash in their annual conflict. TIGERS IN SUPERB FORM Bv United Press GREEN CASTLE, Ind., Nov. 18.— Coach Hughes today sent his De Pauw Tigers through their last stiff workout of the season in preparation for Saturday's game here with Wabash. The Tigers are in top condition for the battle with their ancient foes.

If the start of tha City Basketball League, Wednesday night, is any indication of what is to come later, the local Independent netters are likely to force the Hoosier A.

A great array of fofimer college and high school stars, along with the best of the Independent basket snipers, set a dazzling pace in the two opening games. ■she Hoosier A.
