Minnesota Picked to Win Big Ten Title by Football Writers

Huggins Not Worried Over World Series Yankee Manager Confident American League Champs Wili Prove Best. Bn United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Miller Huggins, midget master mind of the New York Yankees, is not worrying q.bout what his club will do in the world series. He doesn’t regard the coming series as a grand, unchallenged stampede to victory for the Yankees, but he thinks they’ll win. “Yes, I think we’ll win',” he said. “We ought to, after the kind of ball we played this season. Taking the bad with the good and averaging it up makes me think we’ve got a club that will win the series.” "Bunk,” Says Hug The fact that the Hugmen “can’t hit curve ball pitching” has been creating quite a stir in baseball circles and has led many to predict that regardless of the team that .wins in the National League, the blanks will lose in the world series. “The Yankees aren’t weak curve ball hitters and don’t let any one tell you that they are,” he said. "I’ve seen them hit some of the best curve ball pitching there is an any league, and I know they can do it. "They say that if Pittsburgh wins the pennant the Pirates will be stronger on the left side of the infield than we are. Well, we will be stronger on the right side of the diamond, and, all in all, I believo my infield is better than Pittsburgh’s. My outfiqjd will compare favorably with theirs and we can hit as well as they.” State of Mind Huggins believes one of the most important angles about any world series is the state of mind with which the team enters it. “Half the battle is to go abc t it as if it wasn’t any different from any other series—to forget the seven-game shortness and that the error is costly beyond repair and that extra effort must be put into every play. Do that and you have the sort of psychology that wins,” he said. The Yankee manager has not decided on his opening pitcher. “It may be Hoyt, it may be Moore or it may be somebody else,” he said.

Middle Western ‘Experts’ Select Purdue to Win( Up in Sixth. INDIANA PLACED TENTH Composite Opinion Favors Gophers, Buckeyes. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1927, by United Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—The University of Minnesota will win the Western Conference footbaty championship, according to composite opinion of nine football writers in the Middle West. The United Press asked representative surmises on the way, the Big Ten race will end and the ballots showed this result: First, Minnesota. Second, Ohio Statr. Third, Northwestern. Fourth. Michigan. Fifth. Illinois. Sixth, l’urdue. Seventh, Wisconsin. Eighth, Chicago. Ninth, lowa. Tenth, Indiana. The expert vote was taken from men in the western, central and eastern portions of the Middle West, and wide variety of beliefs were expressed, save In the particular that Minnesota and Ohio State no where received votes below second place. The “Experts”

The writers invited to ballot were: John McOo/ern, Minneapolis Journal, one of the greatest players who ever wore a Minnesota uniform; Oliver Kuechle, Milwaukee Journal; Stuart Bell, Cleveland Press; Eddie Ash, The Indianapolis Times; Kenneth Fry, Chicago Evening Post; Roundy Coughlin, Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, Wis.; Bill Fox, Indianapolis News; Ed Shave, St. Paul Daily News, and Eddie Jacquin, Champaign, 111., News Gazette. The preponderance of Minnesota votes is well explained by Kuechle, who asks; “I don’t see who Is going to stop Minnesota. Indiana won’t. lowa won’t. Wisconsin won’t. Michigan might in the last game of the season. But Yost’s fellows, I figure, will be pretty well worked the week before by Navy, while Minnesota has comparatively easy sailing with Drake.” Northwestern Third Ohio, with Marek and Freddie Grimm back, seems assured of winning almost every game save perhaps the Michigan or Northwestern contests. Northwestern ranks third with such stars as Tiny Lewis, Capt. Vic Gustafson and Justin Dart. Kuechle rates the Michigan-Ohio game the doubtful one on Michigan’s and Ohio’s program. That battle, he says, will show Michigan at its best against the Buckeyes. .Indiana received seven votes for tenth place. Eddie Ash of The Times in Indianapolis placed the Hooslers seventh and Fox of the News in the same town put them sixth. Most of the writers In the districts with stronger teams were inclined to “play down” local prospects. McGovern confessed that “Doc” Spears of the Minnesota team' would never forgive him if he choSe the Gophers to lead the pack, so he put Michigan and Ohio along with Spears-coached team. Coughlin picked Ohio to tie Minnesota. Otherwise, those two teams reigned “onetwo” throughout the poll.
