Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Herbert Hoover’s football team comes to the Yankee stadium to play the Army Saturday. Hoover’s football team is, of course, Stanford of Palo Alto, Cal. What makes it his team is that he is an alumnus oi’ the university and a letter man. Hoover did not win his letter on the gory field of combat. Rather it fluttered to his manly bosom through the more sedate channels of administrative excellences. n tt n As. an. undergraduate. Hoover pioneered the application of efficiency methods to the conduct of athletic teams and so capably did he perform his chores that he was honored along with the battlescarred warriors. tt tt tt OLD TIMERS AROUND THE STANFORD CAMPUS WILL TELL YOU THAT HOOVER COULD GET MORE YARDAGE OUT OF A'BOLT OF ADHESIVE TAPE THAN THE MAN WHO MADE IT. IT ALSO HAS BEEN SAID THAT HE INAGURATED A SYSTEM BY WHICH THE TAPE WAS APPLIED FIRST ON ONE SIDE AND THEN ON THE OTHER. THUS MAKING IS LAST DOUBLY LONG. BUT THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE A MALICIOUS CANARD ORIGINATING IN THE MIND OF A POLITICAL ENEMY. tt tt tt MANY people have wondered why Hoover as a youth did not go in for sports in a big way. It was not that he was deficient in sports consciousness. The trouble was Hoover was always inclined to girthy dimensions and such sports as would have appealed to him placed too great a stress on body agility and crow-hopping. tt tt tt Hoover would in all likelihood would have made a fine wrestler, hut in his day they did not go in for wrestling very much in the colleges and besides he would have been much too large to face an average college opponent. tt tt a OF COURSE. HE WOULD HAVE MADE A PERFECT W HITE HOPE. BUT HERE AGAIN THE COLLEGES LAGGED FAR BEHIND THE SPIRITUAL TREND OF CIVILIZATION; THERE WAS LITTLE COLLEGATE FIST SLINGING IN THOSE DAYS, NOR HAD THE DEMAND FOR A WHITE HOPE TO COME FORWARD AND AVENGE THE RENO TRAGEDY YET REACHED THE EARS OF THE WORLD. tt tt tt UNDER the circumstances young Herbert Hoover had no choice; it must be administrative athletics or no athletics at all. Thus began the career that saved the Belgians, and wrecked the solid south. I am told that Herbert is today the outstanding gate attraction at Stanford in spite of the fact he never smashed a line nor skirted an end. His presence at one of the home games, ballyhooed in advance, has been known to add from 15,000 to 20,000 to the attendance. tt tt tt Os late Hoover has attended games only on the pledge that his presence be kept a secret from the public. He seems to feel, apparently, that the university is making too much fuss over one of its old athletic managers. With all truth Hoover might say, “I wasn’t half the man at school that Ernie Nevers was.” Quite a few football critics would have to agree with him. Nevers is the player whom Pop Warner said was greater than Jim Thorpe, the Indian. Pop coached them both, Thorpe at Carlisle and Nevers at Stanford. 18 Contests for Wabash During Basket Season By United Press CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind„ Nov. 28.—The Wabash college basketball schedule, one of the strongest in the school’s history, was made public Tuesday night.

Next Sunday at Pennsy Park the Southpaws will meet the strong Riverside Olympic eleven. Most of the Olympic players were present last Sunday at Pennsy Park when the Southpaws defeated the Lincoln Highways, 13 to 6, in a tough battle. Along with the rest of the City Football League stars that Dempsey has gathered together will be Franklin, elusive half back, who was high scorer of Indiana with Danville Normal last year.

COLUMBIA KEEPS CROWLEY B-y United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Charles F.

Hoosier Turkey Day Grid Interest Centers on Feature at Butler

Garcia Gets Shade Over Young Ruth Legion Main Go Is Tame, Prelim Boys Supplying Real Action. Action in the Legion boxing bouts at the Armory Tuesday was confined to the scraps preceding the main go, which failed to appeal to the customers. Frankie Garcia, Los Angeles, won on points from Young Babe Ruth, Louisville, in the ten-round event, a tame affair. Repeated warnings by the referee moved the boys to flourish occasionally, but on the whole Frankie and Babe merely sparred rather than fought. Garcia scored often with his left hand. Tracy Cox, Indianapolis, and Bobby Allen, Chicago, battled hard in the semi-windup of eight rounds with Tracy winning an edge. His first punch closed Allen’s rigjht eye and later Allen got smacked in the right “glim” and he had a tough time sighting his opponent. Kid Woods scored a knockdown on Jack Coogan in a six-rounder and that slam earned the honors for the Kid, though Coogan made a fight of it that pleased the fans. The boys delivered their best. Howard Jones shaded Reamer Roberts in another six-rounder, mainly because Roberts saved most of his energy until the last round. In the opening four-rounder Harry Memering outpointed Eddie pick.

Weighs 120, Plays Full Back

Dudley Hormel ALTHOUGH he weighs only 120 pounds, Dudley Hormel is the regular full back for Chick Meehan’s New York university eleven. Hormel’s showing in early games convinced Meehan that he was able to stand the gaff and, as a result, he was made regular full back. He is, needless to say, the lightest full back on any major team. He is slated to perform against the Oregon Aggies Thursday.

Four Shortridgers on Local Mythical Eleven; Tech, Cathedral Three Each, Washington One

BY DICK MILLER The 1928 all-city football selections are made up of players on six of the seven high schools in the city. There has been direct competition this fall between all the teams except Crispus Attucks. the Negro school, and for that reason players of that team are not figured in the selections. That eleven, however, had a very good season. Brown, full back, tvas an outstanding ball carrier in all games. In just a few places do the second team members of the selected mythical elevens really contest the selection of the first team. Rehm of Shortridge, a good tackle, did not come up to all expectations, and letdowns at intervals during the season marred his work. Otherwise he rates as good as Unser of Washington.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tufts Jumbos Arrive Vrom East for Intersectional Fray Here. BULLDOGS END DRILLS Locals Have Two Strong Back Fields Ready. Interest in the turkey day intersectional fray between Tufts of Medford, Mass., and Butler football teams at Butler stadium increased today when the Tufts Jumbos and coaches arrived shortly before noon. Head doach Potsy Clark sent his Bulldog warriors through a long drill Tuesday, the last vigorous work he will give them before the game, which is carded for Thursday afternoon at 2. Clark offered the use of the bowl to the Tufts team at 1:30 today and Coach Sampson and his assistants welcomed the opportunity to work the kinks out of their team after the long ride. Great Tilt Promised The game Thursday should be a thriller, one that will satisfy the fans. The contest will bring the local collegiate grid season to a close. Butler authorities hope for a large crowd, with the game being discussed, popular prices prevailing and many Turkey day football boxparties being arranged. Clark plans to send two sets o i backs at the easterners, one composed of Hosier at quarter, Royse and Fromuth at half back posts and Hinchman at full. That se will have the speed and cunning that should worry the invaders. Another set, the shock troop variety that should batter down the defense of the Jumbos, will be composed of Reynolds at quarter, Cavosie and Allen at halves and Watford at full. Butler Linemen Active Several different combinations have been tried in the line this week and most of the local forward wall players likely will see service. Tufts will be a hard team to beat. The Jumbos have lost but one game and that by a one touchdown margin this fall in the two seasons. One game was a scoreless tie. Coach Clark gained some idea of the Tufts strength two weeks ago when he went east and saw them play. Neither coach will have anything to say, as the game will be the final one for both teams. Every available football trick will be used to gain victory and the fans will reap the harvest of a high-class exhibition. Coach Robert Nipper will take the Butler yearling team to Culver Thursday to meet the Cadets at the academy grounds. Last year Nipper’s crew emerged victorious by a 26 to 12 count.

Thom, Reynold ? in Main Go of Next Mat Show Coach W. H. Thom, wrestling instructor at Indiana university, again will feature the main bout at the Monday night wrestling card at Tomlinson hall. This time Thom gets a crack at Jack Reynolds, the welterweight star, who is an old Indianapolis favorite. Incidentally there is quite a bit of jealousy between Thom and Reynolds, as Thom has the instructor’s job at Indiana university that Reynolds filled for several years. Both men have coached hundreds of college wrestlers and have a large following. The match will be two out of three falls to a finish, no time limit. A strong supporting card with Marting Leudeke in the semi-final will complete the bill. READY FOR SYRACUSE By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—A light woikout at Baker field this afternoon ended Colmnbia’s preparation for the Thanksgiving game with [ Syracuse.

Kick-off time for the intersectional tilt is set at 2 p. m. Thursday. It’s a real treat for the turkey day fans, for the dopesters figure, it’s going to be a hot thriller. The best players of both elevens are reported in super shape for the struggle. Tufts lost only one game this season and none last year.

ent drive is considered a better field general than Stewart, who certainly was the anchor of the Shortridge back field with his cod, deliberate and steady play at all times. Those two quarter backs have quite an edge on Carter of Washington, who faded after a fast start in early season. Horn Outstanding Horn is the outstanding half back of the city, being able to tackle and block as well as tote the oval. Rose a great man when it comes to advancing the ball, is not the best at blocking and defensive play. However, he rates just a bit better than Burris, who was on a very weak club, and Lippincott, who appears as a comer. Compton, very strong on defense as well as a good ball advancer, takes the full back job over Caine. Cummings, the big Boys’ Prep tackle, and Boolser were luminaries on the Riverside squad.

Greyhounds Display Pep in Practice I. C. Netters Play Vincennes Next Tuesday; Take Short Vacation. Coach Harry Good Tuesday evening ran his Indiana Central netmen through the hardest practice for this season when he dismissed them for Thanksgiving vacation. The squad, running through some fundamentals in warming up, showed considerable pep and punch. Pete Bailey, captain, and his brother Abe, are showing up exceptionally well in bombarding the net, while Rush Smith and Joe Knowling, Plainfield stars, and Emig from Edgewood make up a smooth-run-ning and fast offensive combination. Emig has developed a vigorous drive under the basket that undoubtedly will prove costly to Central opponents this season. Babbit, last year’s captain, and Swan, a product of Corydon, show up best at the back guard position. According to Coach Good, the 1 lineup for the game with Vincennes college next Tuesday night at the Central gymnasium will not be announced until after practice Monday evening. Five Local Men Receive Letters at Purdue Fete By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 28.—Five Indianapolis members of the Purdue university football squad received major letter awards at the team’s annual banquet Tuesday night.
