Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov, I.—Br-r-rJ ... No, this is no time to write of tennis. . . . Boy, bring me my earmuffs. . . . No, this certainly is no time to write of tennis. . . . Still, your correspondent feels a tennis yam coming on, and, being weak and submissive, there is nothing he can do about it. a a a Os course, it has something to do with Bill Tilden and what is with high levity called amateurism. All tennis yams do. You may recall that Bill was suspended by the American Association on the eve of the Davis cup matches late last summer and then reinstated when the American ambassador went to the front for him—and, as it developed, the French box office as well. a a a THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE SOMEWHAT PUZZLING TO THE LAY MIND. BILL WROTE A STORY ABOUT A TENNIS MATCH THAT HAPPENED, OCCURRED OR TRANSPIRED. AS THE CASE MAY BE, ON A MONDAY WHEN THE RULES OP AMATEURISM HE SHOULDN’T HAVE WRITTEN IT UNTIL THREE DAYS LATER. r a a WEI L, Bill was allowed to play in the Davis cup matches After the matches in France Bill again became a nonamateur as well as a noncombatant in the of the tennis bosses and when the American championships were held at Forest Hills, he sat in the press box, with his hair slicked back, smoking cigarets and scribbling in a most industrious manner. a a a Os course it would have seemed more than fair at the time if the French ambassador had petitioned the tennis bosses to allow Bill to play in the matches here but for £ome reason, no doubt fraught with deep diplomatic significance this was not done, ' and Monseigneur Henri Cochet waded through a miscellaneous assembly of flannel trousers and 'gaudy berets to win the title. a a a AT THAT TIME THE WORD WENT AROUND. AS WORDS WILL IN A WORLD SUCH AS THIS, THAT BILL WAS TO BE KEPT OUT OP TENNIS INDEFINITELY, THAT THE TENNIS BOSSES WERE DETERMINED TO MAKE A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE OP HIM, AND THAT OUT OP THE EPISODE WOULD COME A NEW SET OF RULES WHICH WOULD ELIMINATE ALL PHASES OP EVASION, COMMERCIALISM AND SHAM. a a a IN short, this was to mark the beginning of a thorough housecleaning in tennis, and goodness knows it was high time. It develops that nothing of the sort is in the making. Your correspondent is informed that Bill is to be reinstated at the coming winter meeting and that the changes in the rules, if any, regulating what a player must do or must not do to retain his amateur standing will be unimportant. Indeed they will scarcely be visible to the naked eye. a a Strangely, a young lady on the west coast has much to do with this standpat situation. Meaning of course. Helen Wills. Right now the fair Helen is the biggest attraction in tennis. What’s more she represents about all that is left of this country’s dominating prestige in the game. a a a AND THAT ISN'T ALL. HELEN WRITES FOR THE NEWSPAPERS AND DRAWS FOR THE MAGAZINES AND IN OTHER WAYS ADDS TO HER ANNUAL REVENUE THROUGH SOURCES OPEN TO HER LARGELY BECAUSE OP HER STANDING IN TENNIS. a a a THESE are some of the objectionable features of amateur tennis, but as long as Helen remains the power she is, nothing will be done about it. Not even if it meant putting a permanent curb on Tilden.

Butler and Indiana Central Groomed for Tilts Here Saturday

Purdue Gets in. Trim for Case Fracas Boilermakers Not OverConfident; Ready for Any Threat. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. I.—Coach Jimmy Phelan today pronounced his Purdue university football squad in good shape for its game with Case of Cleveland here Saturday afternoon in Ross-Ade stadium. The Boilermaker regulars have had it easy all week, getting ready for the Northwestern game Nov. 10. The Purdue reserves probably will see most of the action against Case. Despite the fact the Phelanmen are not rating the Ohio team very highly, the Purdue team is not getting overconfident and the regulars will be ready to break into the lineup at any time the Case eleven threatens.

In Disguise By United Press Madison, wis., Nov. l.— Milo Lubratovich, Wisconsin tackle, now is going under the name of ‘‘the man with the iron mask” since a freshman broke his nose in a scrimmage. He wears a leather mask that covers his face except for slits at the eyes. Despite the handicap he expects to be in the game against Alabama Saturday.

Roller Polo at Riverside Rink Saturday Night Roller polo, a game that one time had dozens of Indiana towns dizzy with excitement, is to be revived Saturday night at Riverside rink. The two teams which will clash are the Riverside Americans and the Broad Ripple Giants, two outfits which have been practicing for several weeks. Lineups follow: RIVERSIDE BROAD RIPPLE Berger P. R Carmtn Kerst S. R Jennings Justus c Thompson A.bright H. B Schaeffer Davis G. T Bader Each outfit is supplied with subs, the Riversides having three utility men in Lefty Beale, goal tender; William Whaley, first rush, and Bob Monroe, second rush. The Ripple team is equally well equipped in reserve strength, Wayne Hinshaw and Buzz Trusty being among the second-string skaters. Saturday night’s contest will start at 9:30. Thirteen-minute halves will be played, with three minutes intermission. not" very optTniistic By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 1. —The Maroons need two tackles and a quarter back before Saturday when they meet Penn. The only two veterans who were out this year for tackle are •out for the season from injuries, and Stagg is tearing his hair for substitutes. Poor generalship has been the cause of several defeats for Chicago this year and the situation appears far from encouraging. STARS OUT OF GAME By United Press HANOVER, N. H., Nov. I.—Al Marsters and Freddy Breithut, Dartmouth’s star backs, are definitely out of the Yale game Saturday. Wolff, another back, has a bad knee and may not play. SHAKEUP AT PENN Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Nov. I.—ln the last practice before leaving for Chicago, Coach Lou Young gave the Pennsylvania team another shake up and selected an entirely new backfield composed of Wilner at quarter, Gentle and Masters at half backs and Opekum at full back NEED ~ SOME TACKLES By United Press EVANSTON, 111., Nov. I.—Northwestern is up against it for tackles to meet the Gophers. Two of the three regulars at that position are on the hospital list. Coach Dick Hanley will be forced to use some of his spare ends for tackles. USES REVAMPED LINE By United Press ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. I.—Revamped line, averaging 103 pounds, will confront the Illini Saturday when they trot on the field to meet Michigan. Bruce Hulbert, who weighs 238 pounds and fast withal, has been inserted into the lineup after his good showing against Wisconsin. ILLINI ARE CONFIDENT By United Press CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov. I.—lllinois had its final practice Wednesday before going to Ann Arbor. There was an air of quiet confidence as the regulars went through maneuvers. Zuppke said the Illini would be stronger against Michigan than at any time sd far this season. MCLAIN STILL OUT~ By United Press lOWA CITY, Nov. I.—Forward passes and running attacks have featured the lowa practice sessions this week in preparation for the Ohio State gamq a week from Saturday. McLain still is out of scrimmage with an injured hand.

Bulldogs Primed for Clash With Muncie in Blue Bowl. EARLHAM IS FEARED Greyhounds Do Not Underrate Quakers. Two Indianapolis college football squads today were to go through their final tapering-off drills in preparation for games here Saturday. Head Coach George (Potsy) Clark was to put the finishing touches on hia Butler university squad for its game with Muncie Normal at the Butler bowl at 2:00 Saturday and Coach Harry Good was to send his Indiana Central gridmen through their last long workout for their contest with Earlham at Washington park Saturday at 2:30. Butler is confident or victory over the Muncie team and it is very likely that Clark will start his strongest team in an effort to wear down the opposition early and then rest his regulars for the game with Illinois on Nov. 10. Indiana Central faces a stiff battle and the Greyhounds are not attempting to fool themselves in believing they have a set up. The Quakers have one of the strongest passing attacks in the state and their fast moving running attack is very liable to catch the University Heights cleatmen off their guard.

Indianapolis H. S. Gridmen Pile Up Impressive Early Season Record City Teams Win 22 of 37 Games Played, Tie in Five; S. H. S. and Technical Best.

BY DICK MILLER It is an impressive record the Indianapolis high school gridders have amassed thus far this season. The half-way mark just passed for the seven local interscholastic elevens shows the capitol city boys in thirtyseven contests this fall won 22 and lost 10 and tied 5 The local lads have made a remarkable stride forward in the gridiron sport and bid fair to place themselves among the top-notchers of the state before many more seasons pass. Shortridge and Technical have the most outstanding records. The blue and white have played seven games, six against state teams. They have defeated Westfield, Sheridan, Richmond, Elwood, Garfield of Terre Haute and Crawfordsvllle. They lost to Stivers, of Dayton, at Dayton early in the season. Played Five Gaines Tech has played five games, all against members of the scholastic Big Ten. The season was opened wtih a victory over Elwood, but Tech lost the next week to the strong South Bend team. Since, they have defeated Linton, Muncie and Marion, all strong teams. Manual has played four games. They opened with a 6-0 defeat at the hands of Wabash, but rallied to tie with Newcastle. The next week found them on the long end of an 18-6 count against Brazil, and the next week the Reds downed Kokomo, 7-6. Washington has made a fine record this fall despite the fact it is their second year in the field. The Continentals opened with a 41-6 victory over Logansport and then lost to Kirklin, 6-0. The next game was a 10-6 victory over Knightstown, after which they lost to Cathedral, 31-6, iff ter holding the Irish even for three quarters. The last three games were victories by good margins over Westfield, Crawlordsville and Lebanon. Just Over .500 Mark Cathedral Is just over the .500 mark with three victories over Garfield of Terre Haute, Columbus and Washington. After battling to a tie with New Albany, Sheridan upset the Irish 12-6 and Jasonville spoiled the home-coming exercises, downing the locals, 14-0. Crispus Attucks, new Negro high school, is on top of the percentage table with two victories over Covington and Xenia, O. They played a 6-6 tie with Terre Haute. Boys’ Prep team lowers the local win margin with four losses and

one tie game of five played. The opening game was a 6-6 tie with Noblesville, but after that Prep lost to Seymour, Wilkinson twice, and Thorn town. Comparison of records gives Shortridge an edge over both Manual and Cathedral, whom they play this month. Following the Cathedral game Shortridge and Tech clash, and at this time that game appears a tossup.

The Greyhounds tied with Muncie Normal and lost last Saturday to Hanover. In running up scores a great part of the offensive has seen supplied by Oscar Smith and Art Bright.

Cruising In Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

THE call of the diamond was too much for Floyd Carlson, Omaha bricklayer, who turned down s*/eral offers to pitch big league ball “because he was earning sl2 a day the year ’round, and couldn’t afford to leave a job like that.” The old lure of the diamond gets all average Americans, once they hear kind words spoken of their skill. The best of bricklayers never get their names in the headlines. a a a And so Carlson, the crack bricklayer of Omaha, with an earning capacity of $3,700 yearly, will be just a rookie next spring in the., training camp of the SL Louis Cardinals. And at that, the Cards do need anew foundation after their world series collapse. a a a MARTY BERGHAMMER, WHO WAS ‘ POISON’’ TO THE INDIANS WHEN HE PLAYED THE INFIELD FOR ST. PAUL SEVERAL YEARS AGO, MAY RETURN TO THE A. A. AS MANAGER OF THE APOBTLES. HE HAS BEEN PILOTING TULSA AND DELIVERING THE GOODS. EDDIE SICKING has popped up as the “people’s choice” at Louisville to manage the 1929 Colonels, and the club bosses are going to have a tough time sidetracking him unless he happens to be their selection too. a a a It didn't take long for Americans to hang their own idea of a name on El Ouafi, the Algerian athlete who won the marathon run. He is being called A1 Waffle by American sport linguists. Fair enough! *

I.—The Stanford Cardinals and the Southern California Trojans will meet here Saturday before 80,000 fans in a contest that will mean much in the annual national football ratings. The game probably will decide the Pacific Coast conference titlo and will have a definite bearing on the mythical national title. A victory for Stanford will make the Cardinals’ game with the Army in New York Dec. 1 the greatest mevent of the year. Stanford goes into the fray Saturday a distinct favorite. The huge coliseum here seating 76,500 was sold out two weeks ago and standing room tickets will bring the crowd to 80,000.

BENNY LEONARD SAYS COLLEGE FOOTBALL MEN MAKE POOH PUGILISTS. OH, WELL. NOBODY EVER CLAIMED A MAN HAD TO GO TO COLLEGE TO LEARN HOW TO BECOME A RING PALOOKA.

THE CO-EDS MIGHT BECOME EXCITED AND TELL THE COACHES HOW TO OUTFIT THE BOYS. YOO HOO! a a a A few of the Ohio State boys evidently failed to realize hoyv pretty their pants were, however, because they ruined the effect by playing bare-legged and the bristles on their shins didn’t match very well with what was above. a a a ITALY has a heavyweight hops built along the lines of an elephant.
