Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Nov, 21.—A great change has come over Mr. George L. Rickard, the celebrated connoisseur of cauliflowers, and 1 have fears he is soon to be lost to Broadway. I visited with the promoter the other day in the hope of blasting from him some information re-
lating to and touching on the industry of which he is the controlling power. But the author of the milliondollar gate and the inventor of the blurred-vi-sion ringside seat showed little enthusiasm for the subject. The afternoon mail had just brought an artist’s picture of his home in
ll
? Joe Williams
Miami Beach—one of those eyefalling Spanish designs with iron grillings, twisted columns and lowhung balconies, fringed with tropical plants. “Sorta pretty, don’t you think?” beamed Mr. Rickard. It was evident where his main interest was. , nun ; Al! around him the strange Jnachinery of the fight game, his yame, buzzed and hummed. There was a meeting of Knute Hansen’s .managers In the next room. There tyere calls from Leo P. Flynn, who Is a gentleman of importance these days because he is to handle the come-back of the Dempsey fellow, if the Dempsey fellow comes back. There was a long distance call from Boston, Jack Sharkey or his manager probably. # a tt BUT TO ALL THIS MR. RICKARD WAS UNMOVED. "SEE THIS PLACE HERE.” HE SAID, POINTING TO THE PICTURE. "I JUST HAD THAT PART OP THE HOUSE REBUILT AND INSTALLED A BATH TUB THAT’S LONG ENOUGH FOR A FELLOW TO LIE DOWN IN AND STRETCH.” 8 tt St “ A ND over to the left here”—Mr. xY Rickard is talking again—“is a croquet court and the ground is as smooth as a billiard table.” Croquet! Openly and unblushingly, this man who gambled with the goldminers in Nevada, who dazzled the sports world by his promotional daring, who was a Broadway character in the days of Jack’s, Rectors and Delmonico’s confesses to a weakness for lawn polo. n n tt The phones continue to jangle. The buzz and hum of the office machinery goes on and on, but Mr. Rickard still sits behind his desk feasting his eyes on the picture. I thought once I detected about him the wistful look of a mammy singer. tt tt a •T’U. HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TREES,” HE SAID, AS HIS FINGERS MOVED FEELINGLY ACROSS A ROW OF GIANT PALMS IN THE YARD. "YOU CAN’T TELL BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, BU r ; THESE ARE COCOANUT TREES, AN! WHEN THE COCOANUTS GET RIPE ANI. THE WIND BLOWS THEY FALL TO Till GROUND.” “T ALMOST got hit not so long i ago. One of those things came whizzing down and exploded at my feet. I thought at first I was ir. Chicago.” This seemed to amuse Mr. Rickard. He laughed. He has a swell sense of humor. a tt t “I can look out for myself,” he resumed, shifting to a seriousrkey, “but Maxine needs a guard. (Maxine is the child daughter of the promoter). “I suppose I’ll either have to keep her off the lawn or get rid of those cocoanuts. tt tt tt AT THIS POINT IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT MR. RICKARD OUGHT TO BUY A COUPLE OF MONKEYS AND LET THEM SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN THEIR OWN NATIVE SIMIAN MANNER. "MONKEYS?” HE SNORTED. "SAY. I SEE TOO MANY OF THEM AROUND HERE EVERY DAY.” * tt tt IT is indeed true that a great change has come over Mr. Richard. He has reached that stage in life where carpet slippers, a pipe and a dressing gown interest him more than his battles of the century. I wouldn’t be surprised one of these days to see a picture of him setting out pansy beds in his back yard down in Florida.

Minnesota ‘Keyed’ for Clash With Leaders of Conference. MUST BEAT - ‘JINXES’ Wisconsin Eleven May ‘Come Through.’ By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—Wisconsin, now the leader in the 1928 Big Ten championship race, will carry a heavy handicap in Saturday’s game with Minnesota. Not only will ne Badgers be meeting one of the strongest teams in the conference, but they must overcome two jinxes which have stopped all other title aspirations: 1. The Badgers will enter the game as the favorite over their opponent. 2. The Badgers will meet an opponent which has been especially "keyed” for the game, whereas Wisconsin was forced to “key” last week against lowa. Ordinarily the first factor would not be especially important, but records show that the favorite in almost every important game this season has not won. The second handicap cannot be guarded against. Such masters of the art as Knute Rockne and Bob Zuppke declare a team can be “keyed” to its highest pitch not more than twice in a season, and that a “keyed” team generally is below standard the following week. Dr. C. W. Spears will have his Gopher squad at its peak against Wisconsin and this influence may decide not only the victor Saturday, but the final disposition of the Big Ten crown. Glenn Thistlethwaite, Wisconsin coach, knows how to get the most out of his football squad. It is possible that he may be able to bring his team back to its maximum efficiency against Minnesota. The Badger players are young and physically fit and with the incentive of winning Wisconsin’s first championship since 1912 may not suffer the reaction which has penalized other teams.
76,000 to View Notre Dame Tilt With Southern California Dec. 1 Los Angeles Game Will Close Irish Season of Ups and Downs; Regulars Badly Battered.
BU Times Special NOTRE DAME, Ind., Nov. 21. Notre Dame's football eleven will close its season of ups and downs by meeting the undefeated Southern California eleven in Los Angeles, Dec. 1, before a capacity crowd of some 76,000 fans. The game will bring the Irish and Trojans together for the third time in the last three years, and will give the Trojans a splendid chance to make up for the two onepoint victories the Irish won over them in their previous meetings. In 1926, the Irish won by a 13 to 12 score in a game played on the coast, and last year triumphed by a 7 to 6 count before 110,000 fans in Chicago. Following their loss to the powerful Carnegie Tech eleven Saturday, the Irish were granted a rest until Thursday of this week by Coach Rockne. The Army and Tech games took much out of the regulars and all of them are under weight, in addition to being badly battered. The rest during the fore part of this week is the only thing that could put the men in condition for the long journey to the coast. The outlook for a victory over the Trojans is not very bright, but there is a chance that the men will rise to the peak that enabled them to
the fourth manager of the team in as many seasons, succeeding Rogers Hornsby, Bob O’Farrell and McKechnie. The last named led the team to its second pennant in three years last season. Southworth piloted the Rochester Red Wings, a Cardinal “farm,” to a pennant the past season in a wild race down the stretch. He played the outfield in 1928 as well as managed and was one of the leading gardeners and batters of the International circuit. When in National League, Southworth palyed with Pirates, Braves, Giants and Cardinals. His Rochester champions were defeated decisively in the “little world’s series” this year by the Indianapolis American Association pennant winners managed by Bruno Betzel, also a former member of the Cardinals. The removal of McKechnie, It is believed, was brought about by the belief he failed to influence Cardinal players to observe strict training rules while at home the past season. There were rumors of this situation in St. Louis during the latter part of the season. Owner Breadon, It is said, decided McKechnie lacked the “two-fisted” ability to keep the athletes from becoming overconfident and lax in their living. “I am confident St. Louis fans will like the change,” Breadon said, in making the announcement. “Southworth made such a favorable showing with the Rochester team that he could not be denied the chance to pilot the Cardinals.

Southworth and McKechnie axe alike in disposition—both quiet—and the new Card field boss no doubt will meet with plenty of obstacles here, but President Breadon appears to be satisfied Billy has the stuff to “bear down” when aroused. He is a hard worker and it is predicted the St. Louis pastimers will be forced to take much morning practice next year.

WHAT has gone before matters not at Wabash and De Pauw when the big clash of the season looms, the Scarlet-Tiger grid scrap. Through the years these institutions have engaged in some great old conflicts and are again ready for another ahd with the advance dope indicating it is anybody’s game. The teams clash at Greencastle Saturday, kick-off at 2 p. m. Head Coach Vaughan of Wabash brought his men out of the Purdue clash in good shape and is smoothing off the edges for the De Pauw encounter, the last fray of the season. Bayer, Berkey and Weist have been more or less prominent all season and they will see plenty of action against the Tigers. Scarlet students and Crawfordsville townspeople are preparing to move on Greencastle with throats cooled for an afternoon of shouting. Wabash and De Pauw players, students and other followers “give their all” in the annual struggle. Many Indianapolis people will take in the fracas, for it is expected to rival the Indiana-Purdue tilt in thrills.
Southworth’s hustling spirit displayed at Rochester is the big item, it is said, that moved Breadon to give him McKechnie’s job.

Athletes Getting Faster on Track and Better in Field Events 100-Yard Dash Expected to Be Run Sime Day Under 9 3-5: Wykoff Touted by Experts.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY I'nlted Presa Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—New American track and field records recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union during its fortieth annual convention lend support to the belief that athletes are getting faster aand faster in the track events and better and better in the field events. Any man who believes the 100 yards never will be run under 9 3-5 seconds soon may see the day when the record is crashed beyond a shadow of doubt. Paddock Mark Rejected Charley Paddock, once but no more the world’s fastest human, is credited with 9 5-10 for the 100 yards at Los Angeles May 15, 1926, in the applications for new world’s records In the athletic almanac, but he never will get official recognition for the mark by the International Amateur Athletic Federation. Paddock’s record was rejected because the foreign group questions the accuracy of tenth second watches. De Hart Hubbard, the Negro broad jumper and sprinter, whose record of 9 6-10 for the 100 yards made at Cincinnati, June 5, 1926, was accepted after two years’ investigation by the record committee, believes the world record of 9 3-5 will soon be broken.

Leaders Off in Pinches NEW YORK. Nov. 21. Strange as it may seem, batters of the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics were the worst in the American League when sent up to the plate as pinch batters last summer. The statistics show the Athletics were seventh in pinch batting and the Yankees eighth. The A’s obtained only 25 hits by pinch hitters in 120 times at bat, while the Yankees benefited by safe blows only 16 times in 105 efforts. The White Sox were the best pinch batters.
