TIRRIN' the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

TUB WINNERS? Mn— tost of the high powered action on the college grid- . -I irons takes place In the Middle West Saturday. The Big Ten teams end then- seasons with all at each others' throats. The main feature in the East is the Yale-Harvard battle. A number of the other eastern rivalry contests are held over until Thanksgiving, to give the football fans something to be tliankful for—if they can obtain tickets. Among these annual games are Colgate at Brown, Syracuse at Columbia, Cornell at Pennsylvania and Penn iSta/e at Pittsburgh. Perhaps the scraps which are 'attracting the most interest in the West on Saturday are Michigan at Minnesota and Ohio at Illinois. Michigan is a 10 to 6 favorite over the Gophers among the dopesters in this city. We can not see this and believe Minnesota has an even chance to win. If the game is played on a muddy field the Swedes are likely to give the Yostmen their first defeat this year in the Western Conference. Water and mud sometimes are the best defense against a pass atitack. In fact, surprising as it may seem to some, we are going to take a chance and piek MINNESOTA to win. OHIO STATE should defeat Illinois. The Buckeyes have a great offensive club. Up until the Michigan battle they had never been held to less than three touchdowns. Ohio scored two touchdowns against the Wolverines and a place kick and were nosed out by one point, as everyone knows. In our estimation, Illinois has not shown enough this year to warrant giving them much of a chance in this fray. The odds of 10 to 8 seem about right. One of the Big Ten frays is a feature of the Iloosier card. PURDUE is very much the favorite. There have been some 2 to 1 wagers that the Boilermakers will cop. That’s pretty good odds on a game like that. The boys are picking Pursue to “take” I. U. by six and seven points. On previous performance this dope b o. k. But, as has often been said, in a game like this anything can happen. The two other Big Ten encounters are supposed to be “in,” according to the fans. WTSCONSIN is a 2 to 1 choice over Chicago and NORTHWESTERN against lowa seems to be just a question of how many points the Purple will run up. The chance for an upset here seems most likely at Chicago, but

it is remote. In the big game in the East YALE is a 10 to 6 favorite over Harvard. Old Eli played well against Princeton and appears good enough to set back the Crimson. CARNEGIE TECH, which will be watched with interest because it is Notre Dame’s opponent on Nov. 27, is the 10 to 7 choice over West Virginia. GEORGETOWN is favored to defeat Fordham. The former has one of the strong clubs in the East. The Navy had to stage one of its last quarter rallies to down the Washington, I}. C., eleven last week. New York University, one of the undefeated teams of the season, may get “knocked off” when it comes West to meet NEBRASKA Saturday. The .Cornhuskers are anything but hospitable out their way. Visiting teams fare rather badly. The Gotham club is up against something plenty tough. The wagering is favoring Nebraska In a Close game. Five points are being "given” and "taker..” MISSOURI is the choice over Kansas in another “valley” struggle. There isn’t much doubt about BROWN keeping Its slate clean when the Providence (R. I.) club tackles New Hampshire State., Rhode Island Is the smallest State irr-Jhe Union, but it has one of the "bigprest” college elevens. LAFAYETTE, another undefeated one, apparently will gif' through the season just that way as it eloses its schedule against Lehigh Saturday. Far out on the Pacific coast STANFORD must Vdown California to go on its winning way. The Bears are not so fierce this year and there seems no good reason why they should come out of their hibernation against Warner’s Palo Alto outfit. The Navy, which has all its games in the win column. Is resting up for the Army on Nov. 27. and Alabama, -the class of the South, is waiting to march through Georgia on Thanksgiving day In this State it ap|*cars 'as Plough NOTRE DAME should '■nke-walk in for benefit of the old grads on homecoming day. These who follow the gridders have lost all confidence in Butler ami believe DAYTON IT. will avin by thirteen points. Their money says so. WABASH is a 2 to 1 selection over De Pauw and some are so reckless as to “give” as many as nine points on the game. “Two .touchdowns better.” is the word f-om the wise boys. M UNCI E NORMAL may surprise Earlham and HANOVER do the same thing to Rose Poly. There is one thing that can upset some of these calculations. That is the weather. Most any kind of an upset can occur in a blizzard, wind storm or mud puddlo. meetdates announced The local sectional of the ninth annual independent amateur basketball championship play will be held at the Y.

BOSS OF INDIANS IN C.ITY New Tribe Pilot Will Be Playing Manager—Shannon Wants Back. By Eddie Ash ’ William C. Smith, Sr., president of the Indianapolis ball club, reached the city from the East today and visited the ball park office to confer with Secretary Clauer and discuss the many managerial applications on file. Smith said letters and telegrams from old ball players seeking to land the Tribe manager berth form £ stack “as high as your head.” The Tribe owner was still “singing the blues” over the loss of Ownie Bush, the pepViery pilot graduated to the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he put in a good word for Bush and predicted Ownie would be successful in the majors. “He’s an outstanding Smith remarked, “and I guess I was lucky to have him three years.” The Indian prexy announced ho had decided definitely to name a playing manager for next season, but he gave no inkling whom he had in mind. He said there would be more deals *and that the new Tribe field pilot would be named wh.en the minor leagues hold their big meeting in Asheville in December. Smith appeal’s well satisfied*at the progress already made toward , reorganizing the Indians for 1927 and intimated three more members of the 192(1 rinb would be missing from the Washington Park scenery next spring. Shortstop Maurice Shannon wants to come back. Smith said. Maury wrote to Smith and promised to hustle for the Indians, and forget about his old love for the Louisville Colonels. ’The “red head” Is a good ball player and can be used handily in a deal If not retained herl. The new park project has Smith puzzled because of, the "cold water** thrown on his efforts to obtain the site in the southwest section of the city. “I’ll keep the present park, and make repairs,” Smith said, "if I don’t get some action on anew spot shortly.” "Some city officials dp not seem wiling to cooperate very readily in this matter of anew site for a modern baseball plant ,in Indianapolis,” Smith stated, “and if there are interests here that want me to get out I can do that, too, and either sell or take the franchise with me.” Owner Smith lias not been in the best- of health since the 1926 seasiiu- closed and plans to head for California, after a visit to French Lick. He will spend a couple of months at a Coast health resort. He Is accompanied* by Mrs. Smith. Vice President Smith Jr., and Hayward Smith, road secretary, will represent the Indians at the fnlnor league sesssion at Asheville. Smith assures the fans he will have a strong ball team next year if trades and cash can do the work. Pittsburgh owes the Indians two players and Ownie Bush has promised to use his influence to see that the athletes coming here are of A. A. caliber. GRID PICTURES SHOWN News reel views of the Notre Dame-Army football game of last Saturday and the Yale-Princeton game will be an added feature to the program at the Colonial Theater tonight and Saturday. It is said the pictures show plenty of the thrilling action that occurred during the . battles.

Indiana U.-Purdue and Wa-bash-De Pauw Games Cap Season’s Play. By William J. Dunn United Press Sports Writer Indiana grid fans are looking to Lafayette and Greencastle for the ! feature football games of the week - end in Hoosierdom. At Lafayette Jimmy Phelan's Purdue Boilermakers concluded preparations today for the invasion Saturday of their arch rivals, Pat Page’s Ini diana gridders. Purdue, with victories over ChiI cago, Wabash, Franklin and Terre | Haute Normal and a tie with Wisconjsin, is looking to the I. U. battle as I the climax of -a successful season. Indiana, on the other hand, alj though buffeted about by Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Northwestern, would forget earlier re-erses if the scalps of Phelan’s Boilermakers could be added to those of De Pauw, Kentucky and Mississippi A. and M. Purdue Favorite Dope favors the Boilermakers, but dope does not mean a great deal in a game such as will be played at fayette tomorrow. At Greencastle Saturday, Wabash and De Pauw, rivals for many years, meet in a game that promises to rival the Indiana-Purdue fracas. The winner of this game will have a good claim to the secondary championship of ~ Hoosierdom as neither has lost a game to a secondary Indiana team this year. Franklin and De Pauw, however, played a 0 t 0 tie. The Tigers have shown strength in games' played thus fat this year and while Wabash is favored by nine critics out of ten, De Pauw cannot be denied a fighting chance. Notre Dame’s alumni are flocking to South Bend for the annual homecoming celebration. Drake, however, is not expected to seriously threaten the Irish in their last appearance on a Mid-Wes? gridiron. I Butler at Dayton Butler left Indianapolis today for Dayton, where the Bulldogs meet Dayton U. tomorrow. Dayton is the favorite in this game. Rose Poly and Hanover wind up their program tomorrow at Hanovet with the Hllltoppers favored to trim the Engineers by a narrow wfargin. Kentucky Normal wall play the Purple Aces of Evansville College Saturday In the finale of the season for the southern Indiana school. The teams look evenly matched. Muncle Normal and Earlham meet at Richmond to ring dawn the curtains on their respective seasons. Neither team looks to hold much of an edge In this game. Valparaiso entertains St. an -Illinois school. Indiana Central, Manchester, Vincennes. Danville Normal and Oakland City already have wound up their schedules. ANDERSON RING BOUTS Lavell and I, if Rose Box in Main Go Monday. Bv Times Bimetal ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 19.—Ned Williamson has arranged an attractive boxing card to be staged in this vity next Monday night.

OLYMPIC TEAM MAY BE DISRUPTED BY QUARREL College Athletes Unlikely to Compete in Big Games as Result of Split With A. A. U.

Bv Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—1 tis doubtful if this country will have a team in the 1928 Olympic games aA a result of the break in the American Olympic Association here, when William C. Prout of the A. A. U., was named President. Even If Prout does assemble a team of athletes It Is very doubtful if that squad will represent the best of this country. It will almost certainly not include collegiate athletes. Nor is iFHkely to Include any' athletes who decide to go along with HARVARD SET Crimson Ready for Invasion of Yale Saturday. Bv Times Special CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 19. Harvard University’s football team, mentally and physically fit. concluded its practice today, in preparation for its biggest game of the season —the tilt with Yale at New Haven Saturday. The Crimson squad was to depart for New Haven today. The gam-3, will be virtually a test of western tdctics against Tad Jones’ eastern style of play. # What*Harvard does in its traditionally nil-impor-tant game against Yalo will go down as a big factor for or against a permanent berth for Horween. Although present odds here slightly favor Yqle, both teams have about the same record. Both defeated Dartmouth, and both lost to Princeton and Browm.

the National Amateur Athletic Association. Gen. Palmer E. Pierce, president of the National Collegiate Association, withdrew his organization from the Olympic committee. His move was followed by withdrawals of Col. Hern > Breckinridge and his Amateur 'ederatlon and Maj. John L. Griffltl , head of the Western Collegiate Conference. Since the Olympic games of 1920 friction has existed between the collegiate body and the A. A. U. This friction created the amateur federation headed by Colonel Breckinridge. Heads of both organizations objected to the treatment of athletes In the 1920 Oylmpics by the A. A. JJ. officials had also objected to the A. A. IT. attempt to control all athletics, including collegiate competition. Coaches and athletic directors of all large colleges and universities of the country are expected to back General Pierce to the limit. There is a bitter feeling against Prout and his A. A. U. that seems sure to prevent college stars from taking part in the Olympics. And that: may ruin the United States team. To avoid such a break four years ago the organization combined in the Olympic association and elected Col. Robert M. Thompson of Washington. Thompson was probably the only man in the country who could keep the Olympic committee intact despite this bitter rivalry. He organized the greatest possible team to represent the United States and ggain returned from Europe victorious. .
