Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—A week ago when Army beat Harvard by fifteen points there was, it seemed to me, a disposition on the part of some of the boys to question the power of the team. There were even subtle intimations that if Biff Jones’ Soldiers hadn’t been blessed with oversized horseshoes they wouldn't have won. tt tt tt More than one grim-faced authority on the great autumnal frenzy whispered behind his hand to you that the better team was beaten. Your correspondent wouldn't know about that. tt tt tt

IT IS EVIDENT HARVARD HAS A PRETTY SWEET FOOTBALL TEAM. EITHER THIS IS SO OR DARTMOUTH WAS GREATLY OVER RATED. IT WASN'T A CONTEST WHEN THESE TWO MET SATURDAY. AND IT IS DOUBTFUL IF THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY DIFFERENT IF THE BRILLIANT AL MARSTERS. HURT IN THE FIRST PERIOD, HAD BEEN ABLE TO PLAY THE FULL GAME. tt a tt WHILE Harvard was taking the Hanoverians over the jumps and making them like it, those Cadets, who had been “lucky” the week before, were bouncing Yale around in quite a jolly manner. Oddly, you heard little talk of luck in connection with that one. a a On the contrary, practically everybody got together after the game at New Haven and sang a vast paean of praise to Biff Jones’ team. It seems that after all the Army is a mighty fine football team. It had to be to win from Yale and Harvard. o a a

COACH JONES HAS A GOOD TEAM IN RED CAGLE ALONE. THIS YOUNG MAN IS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE GREAT BACKS OF THE YEAR. BUT OF ALL TIME. AS A TRICKY SLIPPERY ELUSIVE BALL CARRIER HE IS THE NEAREST THING TO RED GRANGE THE GAME HAS SEEN. HE IS JUST AS FAST, JUST AS SHIFTY AND JUST AS HARD TO BRING DOWN. tt tt tt BECAUSE of his versatility he is a better player than the Illinois red head. Grange was the greatest ball carrier of his day, but that about left him out. Grange was just a fair forward passer, while Cagle is a great one. Tad Jones, who resigned a year ago j.s the Yale coach saw Cagle in action against his former charges, and admitted the red head deserves to rank with the notable players of history. o You can put this young gent on your all-America right now. It won’t make much difference what other players you put in the backfield with him. He won’t need much help from them. a a tt YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN READING SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT THE BOYS CALL HIS BACKGROUND. HIS FULL NAME IS CHRISTIAN KEENER CAGLE. HE IS 23 YEARS OLD. WEIGHS 167 POUNDS. IS FIVE FEET, NINE INCHES TALL AND HAS ONE MORE YEAR AFTER THIS ON THE TEAM. HE'S FROM MERRYVILLE, LA. HE PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL THERE AND LATER WENT TO SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA INSTITUTE. WHERE HE WAS A LETTER MAN AT FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL AND TRACK. tt tt tt LAST year Knute Rockne called him the most dangerous back field man in the east. Mr. Rockne can say that again if he wants tp and nobody will attempt to correct him. a tt tt /Whether the Cadets will be able to keep up their winning gait remains to be seen. Notre Dame may have found itself by a week from Saturday when the Irish Invade th? Yankee stadium. Nebraska showed its power by crushing Missouri, and Stanford is one of the great teams of the far west. tt a a THIS LAST GAME WITH STANFORD IS ON DEC. 1. A LOT CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.

‘GET THE JUMP!—GRID STRATEGY THIS FALL

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Notre Dame, Wabash and He Pauw in Intersectional Tilts. TWO GAMES IN CITY Butler, Central to Perform Here Saturday. BY DICK MILLER Eyes of Indiana football fans will turn to eastern gridirons next Saturday with three of the leading Hoosier elevens in action there. Notre Dame goes to Philadelphia to battle Penn State, Wabash and Colgate clash at White Plains, N. Y., and De Pauw boards the “rattler” for West Point for an encounter with Army. Os the three games the fans feel that chances are better than even for two victories. The scarlet shocked the east last year with a 7-0 victory over Colgate and will go back this fall aware that they will meet a good team. Notre Dame and Penn State open relations without past records to settle. However, on early season dope odds are slightly better than even that the “Rockne Rockets” will get away with a victory. A Tough Assignment De Pauw finds itself against one of the best in the east, if not the nation, and with a line that does not rank exceptionally strong the Methodists will find the going rough against the Cadets. Indianapolis fans will be treated with two encounters. Indiana Central moves to Washington Park to take on the Earlham team. One almost would be required to toss a coin to choose a dope favorite between them and a high class struggle is sure to be dished out. Out at the Butler bowl the Bull Dogs take on Ball Teachers and this game hardly could be written into the Muncie “win column” without the rarest of luck. “Potsy” Clark probably will give his varsity a rest unless the Teachers show unlooked-for strength. Case of Cleveland will be the attraction at Purdue. The Lafayette team should be in high spirits after the Chicago massacre and if Jimmy Phelan has any cripples from the Maroon affair they will gain some much needed rest. After three successive Big Ten frays, Indiana university will be idle this week for a rest before the Minnesota clash. On Friday Danville Normal travels to Evansville to play the Aces. Danville has been meeting reverses this fall, both in practice and in games, with an unusual amount of injuries. Evansville is not as strong as usual and the average dopcster gives Danville a twotouchdown victory. State Normal Favored Franklin and Indiana State Normal clash at Terre Haute Saturday. State Normal played good ball at Wabash last Saturday and in view of the fact Franklin is very weak this fall the Sycamores are carrying the pre-game edge. Rose Poly travels to Oakland City for a clash with the Oaks. The latter team gained a great victory before a homecoming crowd last Saturday when it defeated Evansville. The Engineers, who have yet to taste victory, again will find themselves against a tough foe, but this time with a chance to upset advance dope. Hanover, the team that upset the dope bucket last Saturday with a victory over Indiana Central, will play at home Saturday, playing hosts this week to Bethel College of McKenzie, Tenn.

BY BILLY EVANS Gordon < mickey i cochRANE, peppery little catcher of the Athletics, gained a double distinction by virtue of his selection recently as the American League’s most valuable player in 1928. Not only was Cochrane the first Mackian pastimer to be so honored, but he also was the first catcher in the unior organization to win the award. Cochrane is 25 and has completed his fourth campaign in big time. He is a college product, having matriculated at Boston university. Was Good in College * Cochrane is one of those rare fellows who made good in the majors after a brilliant collegiate football career. College football - baseball stars as a rule fall down when they take a whirl at major league diamond play. Cochrane’s selection this year was a most deserved one. Unlike the old days, Mickey is more than just a backstop. He's a splendid all-round performer. Heady, fast and a good hitter, he's a valuable asset to any ball club. The mere fact Connie Mack uses him in third place in the batting lineup shows his worth on the attack. Consistent Swatter Cochrane is a consistent .330 clubber. More than that—and this generally has been overlooked—Mickey
