PLAYING the FIELD

With Billy Evans

mAKE one star out of the lineup of a major league club and it makes a tremendous difference. I could enumerate a score of such cases. No second baseman ever has been able to fill the shoes of flddie Col-

lins realiy successfully when injury or illness has made it impossible for Collins to play. A lot of outfielders have essayed at various times to take Tris Speaker’s place, when for some reason he has been unable to play, but none have delivered in his incomparable

style. Wfhen Walter Johnson was in his prime, there never was a pitcher who came even close to taking his turn on the rubber as the ace of the staff, when Walter was ailing. GILBERT WAS MISSED ■ iHILE I have always realized YY/ that such a happening holds ” good in most sports, not until the Michigan-Illinois game did I fully appreciate what an outstanding gridiron performer meant to the success of his team. Louis Gilbert, sensational half back of Michigan, was unable to play against Illinois. Michigan was beaten. Possibly, the result would have been the same had Gilbert played, but certainly it would not have been so easily accomplished by the proteges of Bob Zuppke. Gilbert was operated on for an Infected arm a few hours prior to the game. The Michigan coaches, while realizing what his absence meant, placed his welfare above the desire to win from Illinois. Against Ohio State, with Gilbert starring, Michigan looked like a great team. With Gilbert on the sidelines in the Illinois game, Michigan looked very ordinary. Michigan’s offense in the Illinois game never functioned properly, making it seem that much of it was built up around Gilbert. But don’t forget a potentially great Illinois team trimmed the Wolverines! * * * M<“— "lICHIGAN missed Gilbert In almost every department of ; i___J play. Illinois enjoyed a decided edge in punting, which might not have happened with Gilbert in the game. Michigan’s passing game carried little or no deception, quite the contrary of the previous games in which Oosterbaan alternated with Gilbert in hurling the passes. In running back punts, Gilbert also was sadly missed.

Hagen and Armour Battle in P. G. A. Quarterfinal Match

Phil Scott and Hansen Box Friday English Champ to Make His American Debut; Ring Fans Dubious. Z NEW d YORK, Nov. 3—Phil Scott, heavyweight champion of Great Eritain, makes his American debut Friday night at Madison Square Garden against Knute Hansen, the towering Dane. The bout is scheduled for ten rounds. Scott was matched to meet Paolino Uzcudum, the Spanish woodchopper, on that night, but Paolino injured his back doing his daily flipflop in training and the bout was postponed. Both Scott and Hansen are more than six feet tall. Hansen isn’t a good heavyweight by any means, but he should prove sufficient •to give Scott a rim for his money. American ring fans are dubious over Scott’s ability. He claims a couple of victories over Tom Heeney, the New Zealander, but he also has a six-round knockout by Paolino against him. All three of these bouts were fought across the water. Scott protests that Paolino “butted him out” and he is anxious to get the Basque in the ring again. Unless Scott can dispose of Hansen his chances of getting in the big money are slim.

Sarazen Meets Turnesa in Pro Links Tourney at Dallas. FINAL ON SATURDAY Defending Champ. Barely Misses Hole-in-One. WALTER TWO UP Bu United Press DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 3. —Walter Hagen was two up on Tommy Armour at the end of their first nine holes today. Bu United Press DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 3—By a strange trick in the pairirgs, two of America’s greatest golfers battled today in the quarter-final round of the Professional Golfers Association championship—a match fully deserving of a final round. Walter Hagen, someti: ,es known as the “Champion of Champions,” and Tommy Armour, American open champion, fought their way over a thirty-six hole round for the right to enter the semi-finals Friday. Three other matches on today’s program brought together Gene sarazen vs. Joe Turnesa, Morte Dutra vs. A1 Espinosa and John Golden vs. Francis Gallett. Four Inches From Pin Hagen had an easy day Wednesday, skidding through to victory over Tony Manero of New York, 1and 10. He finished the match on the twenty-sixth hole with a birdie two, but the most spectacular hole of the Hagen-Manero match was the twentieth, where Hagen barely missed a hole in one. His tee shot landed four inches from the pin. Armour entered the quarter-final round by defeating Tom Harmon of Yonkers, N. Y., -7 and 6. Sarazen, who has played erratic golf since the time he won the open crown back in 1922, eliminated Ed Dudley of Los Angeles, 4 and 3. Turnesa Wednesday defeated Willie Klein, one up, after an uphill fight. Johnny Golden had the closest call of the round, winning from Harold Long, of Raleigh, N. C., by a birdie three on the thirty-seventh. Big Surprise Espinosa sprang perhaps the biggest surprise of the day by vanishing Harry Cooper of Los Angeles, 5 and 4. Dutra had a great battle with Charles Guest for the honor of representing the Far West in the quarter finals. Dutra’s margin of victory was two up. Gallett was three down to Ralph Beach of 3ethseda, Md., after the morning round, but came back strong in the afternoon to win his match on the thirty-sixth green.

City Basket League Gets Away to Auspicious Start at Hoosier A. C. High-Geared Net Pastiming at Opening Session; Hoosier, Big Four Triumph in First Tilts.

The City Basketball League got away on the right leg to an auspicious start at the Hoosier Athletic Club Wednesday night, some highgeared net pastiming being unleashed for the large crowd of fans that attended the opening session. Hoosier A. C. cut loose in the last half and romped to a 45-to-12 victory over Ft. Harrison in the first game, and the Big Four team, champion last season, turned in a 40-to-28 victory at the expense of Diamond Chain. The Soldiers gave the Hoosiers a nice battle in the opening half, but the smooth-passing combination of the winners baffled the Fort quintet in the final period. Both coaches pulled “Knute Rockne stuff” by substituting whole teams at a time. Carl Howard was (he big noise in the Big Four victory. He sank seven field goals and a pair of free throws and was ably abetted by

State Collegiate Elevens Start Final Drive in Saturday Games Notre Dame Picked to Win and Purdue Given Edge Over Northwestern —Other Contests.

BY DICK MILLER “What are the Indiana college football teams going to do in the drive down the stretch?" queries the dopester, knocked backward and forward by the terrific jolts of upsets in several games to date. Saturday, two 1 adline battles take place in the State. Minnesota, led by the powerful Joesting, will invade South Bend at full strength to battle Knute Rockne’s clever Notre Dame team. Notre Dame and its vicious tacklers and its precision of attack should defeat Minnesota by at least two touchdowns., Up at Lafayette, Purdue and Northwestern meet. Both teams have suffered recent reverses. Northwestern presents its scoring ace. “Tiny” Lewis, while Purdue will have Capt. Chester Cotton Wilcox in shape. The teams appear evenly* matched. Purdue with Welch, a comer, has a scoring edge, enough of an edge for victory if breaks remain equal. I. U. Is Favored Indiana will have a hard battle with the Michigan State squad at Bloomington Saturday. But the Pagemen should be in good shape and capable of winning by two or three touchdowns. DePauw will meet a strong eleven at Georgetown, Ky., a squad that a month azo held Wabash to a 12-2 count. Georgetown has improved. DcFauw suffere'd injuries that undoubtedly weakened. Wabash will have to hustle to defeat the Bradley Tech team at Peoria, but the Scarlet team, powerful enough to defeat Colgate, no doubt will emerge victorious. Loss Weakens Normal Beck, star of the Indiana State Normal team, was injured in an auto accident last Saturday night. His loss will make Normal a weaker foe for the strong Eastern Illinois Normal team at Terre H-ute. Franklin, with a team of veteran linemen, but inexperienced backs, will find difficulty in stopping the aerial game of the Earlham eleven, which has been the best threat of

Dundee, In excellent condition after rigorous training featured by slashing sparring bouts in preparation for Hudkins, declared he had no fear of the outcome of the tenround bout with the Nebraska "Wildcat.” Hudkins has a strong following in California and betting on the scrap is about even.

Purdue Set for Invasion of Wildcats Seating Capacity at Stadium Increased for Homecoming Contest. Bu Times Snecial LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 3.—The most serious and businesslike preparations of the season are under way in the Purdue football camp for the Northwestern game in the Ross-Ade stadium Saturday. The game will be the annual homecoming contest for the Boilermakers, and the capacity of the stadium has been enlarged to 25,000 for the occasion. Defeated by narrow margins in two Big Ten encounters this year, Purdue is fighting with its back to the wall. Northwestern, which has suffered rebuffs on two successive Saturdays, likewise is out to redeem itself, and the game should be a thriller. Captain Wilcox Is rounding Into sh*pe and will start against the WiHeats. Burt Dreyer, center, who has been moved over to end, Injured his leg again in practice, and It is doubtless if he will be in shape to play. Hutton has recovered, however. Another pair of injured backs. Caraway and Leichtle, looked better in drills this week and will be available. The yearlings, using Northwestern offensiv 3 and defensive plays, have given the regulars the hardest kind of a tussle. Purdue’s offensive appears in somewhat better shape than It has been since early in the season, when Injuries began exacting a heavy toll. INDIANA BEATS N. D.
