PLAYING the FIE L D

-With Billy Evans-

r— —|URT SHOTTEN, who is to B manage the Philadelphia _ Nationals, a rather unenviable job, figured in one of the most unusual plays I ever have seen on the ball field. At the time he was playing center field for the St. Louis Browns, Bill Hogan was in left. The game was played at Washington. Two runners were on bases at the time for Washington, two were out

and St. Louis was enjoying a onerun lead. The batsman hit a long fly to left, which is the sun field at the Washington park. Both Hogan and Shotten started after the ball. Hogan called for it but at the last minute lost it in

Evans

the sun, covering his face with his hands to protect him from injury. The ball struck him squarely on the head, bounced high in the air and Shotten, who was backing up the play, caught the ball on the fly, retiring the side as the two runners whose tallies were necessary to put Washington into the lead scampered 4 over the plate. ** * * If ever a ball player used his head to complete a play, Bill Hogan did in this instance, getting an assist while Shotten was credited with the putout. * * * PREFERS COLLEGE FOOTBALL B l ' JENNY Friedman thinks professional football is harder i_—J than the college brand. “Red” Grange is of the opinion the going is tougher, in the colleges. “I’ve been out of the game three -weeks with a bad knee and it isn’t well yet. Had the same thing happened at Illinois, I would have been back in the game inside of ten days, at the most,” says Red. “The urge of the coach, the skill of the trainer and the old college spirit which makes you yearn to get into the big game, even before you are ready for play, would have hastened' my return.” * 4 * Grange has had a number of offers to coach, but has spumed them all. “That is the toughest Job in the world, not excepting that of a big league baseball "**nager,” is the way “Red” puts it. * * * ALL PRAISE FRIEDMAN - ETTING back to Benny ■ Friedman. He continues to play the same spectacular game as a pro as he did in college. This hasn’t been true of Grange. Perhaps that explains the opposite stand they have taken on the professional sport. “He’s the greatest football player I have ever seen,” is the way an AllAmerican end who turned professional this year sizes up Friedman. “If there ever was a triplethreat player, Friedman is the guy,” was the remark of a famous southern guard now identified with the pro game. “Friedman has six threats instead of three. He can pass, also receive; he can run through a broken field, he can carry the ball, he can kick and how that baby can think.” Irish to Close - With St. Xavier The Cathedral High School football squad, another scalp dangling frcta its belt, today was to start preparations for its final game of the season against St. Xavier at Louisville next Saturday. The local Irish battled their way to a victory over Garfield of Terre Haute at Washington Park Saturday, 6 to 0. The lone touchdown was scored on a long pass, Dugan to Miller, in the first quarter.

Big Ten Cleatmen Prepare for Strenuous Week-End Struggles^

Indiana at Purdue; Minnesota at Michigan; llli- 1 nois at Ohio State. Big Ten football teams today swung into intensive preparation for the final and greatest Saturday on the Western Conference schedules. This week-end’s games are purely intra-conference affairs and the “experts” are treading dangerous ground in attempting to pick socalled “headline” frays. Os the five games carded, involving the entire roster of the Conference, three are worthy of classing with the best in the nation from the ancient rivalry standpoint. Minnesota will be at Michigan, Illinois at Ohio State, and Purdue at Indiana. Those three should and would satisfy the most rabid demander for action, but to top everything off, Wisconsin will be at Chicago and lowa at Northwestern. Hoosier Grid Classic The Purdue-Indiana affair is the Hoosier’s State annual gridiron classic. The Boilermakers are favorites, but undoubtedly will bump into a real battle against their traditional rivals. Purdue’s reserves got a good workout in Saturday’s fray, the Franklin squad taking a 46-to-0 walloping. Indiana ploughed through the Northwestern outfit, 18 to 7. The Minnesota-Michigan struggle has all earmarks of a terrific battle. Minnesota trounced Drake, 27 to 6, in Saturday’s affair, while Michigan displayed flashes of tremendous power in ripping, tearing and passing to victory over Navy, 27 to 12. Title Hopes Waver Illinois apparently faces its toughest foe in its drive for the Big Ten title. Ohio State, fresh from a 61-to-0 triumph over Dennison, has visions of knocking off the Illini. The Urbana squad handed Chicago a 15 to 6 defeat. Northwestern’s Wildcats, endeavoring gallantly to overcome its losing streak, ' hopes to break the downward trend at lowa’s expense. The lowans dropped Wisconsin, 16 to 0, Saturday, while the Wildcats were bowing to Indiana. Chicago and Wisconsin both will be striving to redeem their followings after last Saturday’s downfalls. The Maroons appear to have a slight edge over the Badgers.

Eternal Alertness Price Demanded in These Days of Fast Football

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—What Knute Rockne calls “heads-up” football is what they are paying off this season. Knute’s own team forgot it in the Army game and went the way of all proud gridiron flesh this topsy-turvy year. One reason why Yale stands out as the best team in the East is that those six foot babies in Eli blue play alert, “heads-up” football. This has been a season in which no one major team, except Georgia, has developed sufficient sustained power to crush all its opponents. Yale had its Georgia, Notre Dame

Bv T r jiifptl Press I NEW YORK; Nov. 14.—'The Georgia University football team, which, in early season, swept into the Yale bowl and downed the powerful Yale team in one of the most convincing defeats it had suffered in years, today stands as the football leader of the country with an undefeated, untied record.

Defeat of Princeton Enhances Yale Claim to Eastern Football Title Bulldogs Spoil Unscathed Record of Tigers; Amherst, Pittsburgh, Army, Dartmouth and Penn Also Good.

Bn United Press NEW YORK, Nov.l4.—lt’s Yale’s year. Robbed of its star on the eve of the hardest test of the season, Yale went out Saturday and smashed a great Princeton team, 14 to 6. It was the first defeat of the season for Princeton and further enhanced Ya'e’s claim to the mythical football title in the East. Although beaten by Georgia in an intersectional game early in October, Yale has consistently shown the best all-round football team in the Eastern sector. Old Eli inflicted the only defeats of the season on Army, Dartmouth and /Princeton, three of the East’s best teams. Another Eastern eleven, Amherst,

its Army, Minnesota its Indiana, and Stanford its Santa Clara. Alertness —eternal alertness, from the first whistle to the last—proved the winning note of 192”. Famous players with “All-America” tags to their names forgot for a moment to keep their heads up, and victory, a fickle iade, flitted away. Osner Boasts of Winning Record Fresh from a three weeks’ campaign through Dixie, during which time he engaged in a half-dozen scraps, Frankie Osner of Miami, Fla., is in Indianapolis for his tenround main-go bout- with Augie Pisano of Brooklyn at the Armory Tuesday night. In the course of the three weeks, Osner beat Boots Antley at Mobile; Jack Lewis twice, once at Mobile and again at Miami; defeated Young Manuel at Tampa; stopped Frankie Coogan in three rounds at Jacksonville, and lost by a shade to Basil Gaiiano at New Orleans. Osner weighed 135 at the conclusion of his light training session Sunday, which he asserted was his normal fighting poundage.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Serious Break Between Army-Navy Threatened Over Eligibility Proposal Middies’ Athletic Body to Put New Rule Into Effect Next Year; Cadets Remain Stubborn.

Bn United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—The thousands of football fans who annually look to the Army-Navy game 'to furnish them the climax of the football season may see the two service elevens in action for the last time this year. A serious break over the eligibility question threatens, following the refusal of the Army athletic officials to agree to a Navy proposal. The Navy recently made a ruling that no man who has played over three years on any varsity eleven can hope for a chance on the Navy team and has furthered the move to include the Army, but such a move will not be considered, according to “Biff” Jones, Army coach. Coach “Bill” Ingram of the Navy has been trying to enforce such a rule for several years and he declared the rule will go into effect next year, despite the Army’s indifference. “We are not going to adopt any such rule,” Jones said. “We are

An inspired Army team played its greatest game of the season to shatter Rockne’s Notre Dame eleven, 18 to 0. Pittsburgh beat Nebraska, one of the leading elevens of the Missouri Valley, 21 to 13. Capt. Gibby Welsh, of Pitt, caught the opening kick-off and ran 93 yards for a touchdown. N. Y. U., one of the East’s unbeaten combinations, played its second tie of the season. The Violets came from behind to tie the score with Penn State, 13 to 13. w The Navy went West to lose to Michigan, 27 to 12, before 80,000 persons, the record crowd of the day. Dartmouth closed its season by overwhelming Cornell, 53 to 7. Dartmouth had an amazing forward pass record, completing 23 out of 38 passes attempted. Pennsylvania defeated Columbia, 27 to 0; Harvard trimmed Brown, 18 to 6; W. and J. won from.Bucknell, 19 to 3, and Colgate fought a 13 to 13 tie with Syracuse in other major games in the East.

Butler and Indiana Shine in ‘Upset League’ While N. D. Falls Before Hustling Soldiers

BY DICK MILLER Nearing the final curtain of the 1927 football season, we find more and more that the grid prognosticator is quite a guesser. The old football game just won’t be run according to the advance opinions. We are looking for the fellow who predicted Indiana University woujd trounce Northwestern, 18-17. Likewise the bigger upset—Butler, 13; Wabash, 6. It might be said that Pat Page, crafty coach at Indiana, who proved he had a defense by tying Minnesota and an offense by scoring' 33 points on Michigan State, used those two points to key his squad to send at the demoralized Wildcats. The slicker in which Reinhardt skids off tackle for a delayed cutback sent the Northwestern team on defense, as Indiana scored a touchdown in the opening minutes of play Saturday. It was a grand victory, one that will instill confidence for the Purdue conflct next Saturday. It became quite evident Saturday that the Notre Dame line has been over-rated, especially on offense. Time after time the Army line smothered Notre Dame’s running attack before it was started. Army won, 18 to 0. The Irish failed to stop Cagle, who outsmarted them with his fake pass play, which once turned out to be a 48-yard run for a counter. He later caught a pass and ran 18 yards for a touchdown. Nave intercepted an Irish pass and converted it into another. Collier Leads Butler Indianapolis fans were treated to the biggest surprise possible as Butler swung into an early offensive that gave it confidence to defeat Wabash, 13 to 6. When the Bulldog attack gets under way early It is hard to stop. A long pass, Fromuth to Collier, on which Collier ran

not making an effort to compete in the collegiate field. The military academy does not solicit star football players. But, in case these men come to our institution through the regular channels of appointment and examination, we welcome them.” Ingram proposes to call the athletic officials of the two schools together in' an effort to convince Jones of the justice of the proposal, and if this is unsuccessful, it may take an arbitration board from the from the departments to keep the service game alive.
