Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—1 t looks very much to your correspondent, who is always seeing things anyway, as if the old rubber stamp is coming back in the conduct of big league baseball. I mean to say the appointment of Walter Johnson as manager of the Washington Senators and the subsequent naming of Willie Southworth as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals has its baffling aspects. a a a By popular belief and actual demonstration a manager is a man who manages the scheme of play as well as the men who play it Johnson can direct the scheme of play on the field as well as the next one, and so can Southworth, but—ana WELL. THERE AREN’T TWO MORE MEEK OR MODEST OR RETIRING CHARACTERS IN BASEBALL THAN JOHNSON AND SOUTHWORTH AND YOUR CORRESPONDENT CAN NO MORE ASSOCIATE THE DRIVING OR DISCIPLINARIAN QUALITIES OP A M’GRAW WITH' THEM THAN HE CAN VISION JOHN BARRYMORE FIXING THE KITCHEN SINK. nan And for all the refining influences that have entered the modern pattern of baseball it still requires a stern disciplinarian to run a ball club, what with its average quota of adventurous young gents to whom the midnight chimes mean nothing more than another round of roodles or rum. a a a Johnson was a flop as a manager with Newark in the Interna tional League last summer. He didn’t have a ball club. Southworth was a success with Rochester in the same league. He had a ball club. This would seem to indicate that nothing matters in a manager’s life, but players. Mebbe so. a a a HERE'S WHERE THE RUBBER STAMP IS LIKELY TO COME IN. JOHNSON IN WASHINGTON WILL BE WORKING FOR CLARK GRIFFITH. WHO ONCE WAS A MANAGER HIMSELF. THESE OLD MANAGERS SELDOM REFORM COMPLETELY. a a a BRINGING Johnson back to Washington was a popular move. Griffith recognized this. Johnson wanted to come. He always aspired to the job and it was with reluctance he left the club a year ago to go into the minors. Johnson and Griffith have worked together for years. It’s a sure thing they will keep on working together. a a a The old man has always been the veteran pitcher’s adviser, and you can bet he will be in there giving him plenty of advice next season. It will be Griffith baseball under the Johnson trade mark. m a a BRANCH RICKEY WILL PROBABLY HAVE AS MUCH TO DO WITH RUNNING THE CARDINALS NEXT YEAR AS WILLIE SOUTHWORTH. POSSIBLY MORE. RICKEY IS THE MASTER MIND OF THAT CLUB, THE TACTICAL POWER BEHIND THE MANAGERIAL THRONE, THE CHIEF OF STAFF WHO ISSUES MIMEOGRAPHED COPIES OF ORDERS TO HIS GENERALS. IT’S AN OLD HABIT WITH RICKEY, AND OLD HABITS ARE HARD TO BREAK.

Upsets Occur in Big Ten Race Down to Last Day of Seaso

lllini Eleven Finishes on Top After Losing Prestige Previously. NO TEAM IS UNDEFEATED Only One Coaching Change to Be Made. BY DIXON STEWART United Preis Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—Saturday’s surprising western conference football finale—in which Illinois won its second consecutive undisputed championship—was a fitting climax for the most hectic season in the history of the circuit. Illinois was an almost unanimous pre-season choice to retain the title, but during the season the lllini were the least highly regarded of the four teams which entered their final games with an opportunity to win an undisputed title. The following facts stand out, to aid the dopesters seeking alibis: No Big Ten team was able to go through the season undefeated—a situation prevailing only twice since the conference was organized in 1897. No outstanding star was developed to rival the Joestings, Granges, Lockes and Harleys of other years. Every school had a share of the season's glory, and indications are that there will be only one change in Big Ten coaching ranks next season,, Dr. J. W. Wilce having resigned at Ohio. The "favorite” was defeated in several important games during the season. In every instance where a team was “keyed” for a particular contest it was defeated when called upon to meet a formidable foe the following week. Conference teams established an excellent record for intersectional games, and, with the exception of Chicago, no Big Ten team was defeated by a team from outside the organization. Chicago, which provided little opposition for Big Ten foes, lost to P enn by a 20 to 13 score. In the other games Wisconsin swamped Alabama,, Northwestern outclassed Dartmouth, A Ohio State tied Princeton and Michigan played the Navq to a draw. Indiana also defeated Oklahoma. Results throughout the season confirmed the pre-season opinion that strength was more evenly divided than for many years. The Big Ten had nine really good teams.

Traditional Honors Go to Purdue and De Pauw; Butler and Notre Dame in Late Tilts

BY DICK MILLER INDIANA’S football arguments are over. After months of verbal combats the two state traditional rivalry scraps were settled Saturday on their merits. Purdue beat Indiana 14 to 0 while De Pauw humbled Wabash 20 to 12. The hunger of the Hocsier fan for intersectional fray will be whetted Thursday when Tufts comes to Butler bowl to play the Bulldogs. Notre Dame will be in the west next Saturday to battle the*Southern California team. Except for those two games the 1928 football season is history for the home folks. Prognosticators in particular will be glad to see the old curtain fall. "Upsets” were ever in abundance to knock the dope bucked for many flops this season. lllini Come Through The Big Ten conference race ended with Illinois champions, as many fans thought it would before the opening of the season, but it never would have happened without the countless uprisings. When the season opened Purdue was given a rating high in the conference percentage tab’e. They had a tough assignment and lost to Minnesota at the start. They did well to tie Wisconsin. Then a jolt c.n the Boilermaker jaw was administered by Northwestern. But Purdue fans have something to rave about in the triumph over Indiana. The I. U. warriors sprang into prominence when they slipped over a wallop to Michigan, but they soon were cooled by defeats from Ohio State. Minnesota and Illinois. They showed signs of a comeback in a victory over Northwestern, but the latent scoring power that might have netted them at least a tie with Purdue Saturday was lacking. The ball was near the middle of the field Saturday in the first quarter, when Balay hurled a forward pass. Probably the large percentage of football experts call that bad stuff, especially when the crimsonites were not behind. That toss put the Pagemen in the hole. Welch's Great Run Ralph Welch, called the "Pest” of the Purdue back field, caught the ball on the east side of the gridiron and ran toward the other side line. He shook a couple of prospective tacklers and then cut in behind his teammates’ interference. Their blocking was perfect, and it was not long until the galloping ball toter out-distanced the crimson warriors his mates did not bowl over. He ran sixty yards. The second quarter was scoreless Purdue came back at the start of the second half. After taking the ball in mid-field the boiler Makers began a march that ended when Welch dove over for another touchdown. That drive found the Purdue team using a clever short pass with Guthrie cutting across to take the Havmeson heaves near the defensive full back. It appeared the Purdue offense worked In spurts for they failed after they were In scoring distance on two other occasions. Bennett Produces The Pagemen had the ball near the goal line in the second quarter with Bennett slashing off yards nearly every time he toted the oval. When the Crimson were in the shadow or the goal posts it appeared they deserted the points where they had been making yards through the Purdue line and were stopped dead in their tracks. In other attempts. In the last half they continued to pound away and once were called upon to forward pass on fourth down, when only four yards from goal.. Harmeson batted the ball down in the end zone for a touchback. Welch booted on the next play and the Pagemen were back down in their own territory. Welch appeared the whole show for Purdue but it must not be forgotten that Harmeson. Caraway. Hutton, Sleight and Hook played hangup ball. And If Welch Is heralded as a star too much praise

De Pauw Topples Wabash For a few minutes the battle at Greencastle looked all Wabash as the "Little Olants” hopped away to a 12-polnt lead. Weist, dimunitive half back of the scarlet, skirted the De Pauw left end for a touchdown before all the spectators were seated. A few minutes later the Wabash backs si aged a little deception with crisscross piays and Hankins galloped over. Both tries for additional points failed. Captain Firebaugh blocked a Wabash punt in mld-fleld at the close of the first quarter and seemed to reveal to his mates that it was possible to get through the Wabash line. "Speed" Brandenburg entered the fray for De Pauw and was not lone sprinting for a touchdown. He also & ck . ed - th< ‘ <‘ xtra Point. The half ended 12 to 7. The Methodists continued their

City Turns to Butler’s ’ Tufts Tilt Many Grid Parties Plan to Attend Feature Clash Thursday. Thursday’s game between Butler and Tufts college elevens will ring down the curtain on the Bulldog grid show and mark the city’s first opportunity in several years to sit through an intercollegiate tilt on Thanksgiving day. Tlie contest is carded for 2 p. m. and one of the largest crowds of the season is expected, as the two elevens line up for the intersectional clash. Thanksgiving parties will comprise a large per cent of tha crowd, according to Arch Brown, ticket manager. Here in 1916 Tufts has not ventured into western football camps since 1916 when; the easterners defeated Indiana at Washington park, 10 to 7 . Both teams display unusual records. Tufts has lost but one game) in two seasons. The clash with Brown university this year left tha Tufts aggregation with the short end of a 19 to 13 score. Butler hes loost but two games this year, both of them Big Ten elevens that found the fighting Bulldogs a hard nut to crack. Regarding Weights The Butler line will average about the same as the easterners’, which is around 184 pounds, but the Bulldog back field will have a slight weight advantage on the Boston ball carriers. Butler rested over the week-end after a series of strenuous drills ir preparation for the final contest, Potsy Clark, Butler head coach, watched the Tufts-Massachusetts Aggie game at Boston recently and promises a highly intejesting sport dish for Indianapolis fans. Clarlc expects to have his entire squad intact for the Thursday contest.
