Local Pin Gossip BY LEFTY LEE

Defending their championship of the city won last year, the Marott Shoe shop team rolled into the lead in the team event of the present meet with a fine total of 3,018 on games of 949, 1,031 and 1,038. Rassmussen was the outstanding star of this series, getting 693 on games of 215, 258 and 223. Larry Cobler backed him up with a count of 638. Wiesman had 579, L. Fox, 573, and F. Fox, 514. With Jess Pritchett. Fred Westover and Mounts carrying the heavy end, the Hare Chevrolet team of the Indianapolis league reached second place with a total of 3,002, while the Kare Chevrolet of the city league hit lor 2,985, the show position. Jerry O'Grady and Eddie Hornberger carried the Silver Flash into fourth place with totals of 607 and 604 respectively. A1 Striebeck. rolling with a badly cut hand, was far below his usual tournament form. Team leaders follows: Marott Shoe Shop 3,018 Hare-Chevroltt (Indianapolis) 3,002 Hare-Chevrolet (City) 2,985 Silver Flash Gas 2,904 3JR Coffee 2,875 Kirschner-Lovick 2,865 Denham Oil 2,856 Roy E. Steele Shoe Shop 2,838 Sterling Loan 2,837 Knannlein Pharmacy 2,836 Hoosier Pioneer Coffee 2,836 The large gallery on hand at the Capitol alleys was the greatest thrill of all. All available space was jammed and many left owing to the fact they could not reach the upper floor of the Capitol where the games are rolled. Even the space behind the pits were filled. The crowd was pulling for Jess Pritchett to come in with a 700 total when he started with 256 and followed with 235. However, a 183 with two openings in the late innings stopped him at 673. Rassmussen’s 693 is the highest threegame total of the meet and a real race for all-event honors will be on tap when Rass and Pritchett roll their minor events next week. An amusing incident, even to the victim, was pulled Saturday evening when one of the boys left the alleys dressed for the theater with his trouser cuffs rolled and his bowling shoes on. The excitement of the game "had him" as he reached Washington and Illinois streets before he realized why people were all smiles. Some. of. the. boys. are. figuring, the Marotts as "in" in the team event, but some real clubs are still to roll on tonights squads. Owing to the illness of Eddie Richert the Meridian Life team, run-ner-uo in the Mid-West meet, did not roll Sunday night and will take the drives tonight on the late shift. If they get "hot” it will be “too bad.” Other bowlers who showed some real pin spilling were: Brandlein. 630; Hanna, 628; Runvan. 617; L. Miller. 618: Blue, 606; Mevcr, 637: J. Hurt. 638; Whetstine. 611; Phearson, 645; Daugherty. 641; Kirkhoff, 659; Johnson. 616; Hoyt. 643; Schutte, 616; Carmin. 632; W. Kemper. 612; Hukle, 602; Hill, 606. and Spencer, 651. Tire pins were falling for the boys that hit them and the splits were standing for the nose hits which is proper, and the reason the bowling game is one of the greatest sports for the greatest number. Ben Cutsinger either must get plenty of wood or "eat crow” tonight. Ben has been telling the world that he is going to "barrell” them. The Knannlein Pharmacy took care of the Fountain Square alleys by entering the first ten with a total of 2,836. The Uptown also was shown in the select circle when the Denham Oil boys hit for a total of 2.856. Tonight’s schedule at Capitol alleys. FIVE MEN. 7:15 P. M.

Four Purdue Men Honored on Dick Miller’s Choice of Mythical First Team Indiana and Notre Dame Each Get Two Warriors on Roster; Butler, De Pauw and Wabash Also Given Positions; Many Star Backs. BY DICK MILLER The annual season for “mythical football selections” is here. Mythical means something described as a myth, but it also means “imaginary.” That gave the experts an idea and as soon as the final football games are played along come countless imaginary teams. These teams never become a reality, never play together or defeat any one, consequently never prove they are the world's greatest.

While many fans probably enjoyed the past season of football and all its upsets, not all Iloosier fans were satisfied with the fall campaign of their favorite sons. Notre Dame did not have its usual aggregation and lost four of nine games. Purdue, felt by many to be stronger than Notre Dame, was looked upon as a top-notcher in the Big Ten before the season opened, but lost to Minnesota and Northwestern. The Boilermakers, however, turned in a notable victory over Chicago, tied Wisconsin and defeated Indiana. Injuries Cost Indiana Indiana, after a glorious start in which it defeated Michigan, slumped, and its only uprising was against Northwestern. The Hoosiers were weakened by injuries. Butler sailed through in good shape. The Bulldogs looked powerful in their Turkey day victory over Tufts, and played great ball against both Northwestern and Illinois. The rest of the games were victories. De Pauw enjoyed the brightest season in years. The Methodists had the strongest line they have had in years. Wabash had a fair year, but Indiana Central fans are happy at the showing of the team Harry Good produced that suffered only two defeats. The remainder of the state schools failed to show much. Tackles and Half Backs The state this fall produced a large number of great tackles and half backs, but only here and. there one finds an outstanding player for other positions. # Oberst, assistant Tiger coach, made Firebaugh a great tackle at De Pauw this fall. The De Pauw man was fast on his feet, used his hands well and was into every play. Many Purdue fans favor Eickman, but his teammate, “Red” Sleight, after turning in a great season, climaxed his play with one of the finest performances we have seen from a lineman against Indiana. Vance of Indiana Central was a fine player, but did not match with such men as Sleight, Eickman, Miller and Unger, although we believe he could hold his own. Schopf of Butler was a strong player in the forward wall, undoubtedly the Bulldogs’ best lineman. Captain Miller of Notre Dame did not play even close to his 1927 form. Some people in the know, say Miller worried under the strain of leadership. Center Choice Puzzles The greatest task in naming The Times all-state first team was the selection of the center. Randolph of Indiana made a fast start and was going great when he suffered a terrific blow on the head in the Ohio State game. He showed courage in coming back to his team when it needed him to steady the defense and defeat Northwestern. Moynihan. Notre Dame, is probably the most improved pivot man in the state. His 5 - bad passes were responsible for the loss of the Wisconsin game. He likewise passed

badly in the Georgia Tech affair. But under the tutoring of A1 Feeney, former Notre Dame star, Moynihan came fast. His game against Army was fjne. He played well against Navy and Fenn State. The Carnegie Tech game was not so good. The choice between Randolph and Moynihan was hard to make, but Moynihan will have the golden opportunity of proving next year he can pass accurately. • Purdue End Best Hutton, Purdue, is an outstanding end, and the only one. Latimer, Wabash, has been consistent all year, and with a bit more speed would be a great all-round player. Druley of Earlham did not show well this fall. Hook of Purdue and Law of Notre Dame are the choice at guard. Bennett, Indiana, and Welch, Purdue, retain their places from the 1927 all-state selections. Bennett is undoubtedly the greatest ball-toting back this state has had in years. Welch and Niemiec are great allround players. Hinchman, the Butler “ace,’’ is one of the finest players we have seen in moons. That young man can hit the line and direct his team. He would call signals for the all-state. Niemiec, Notre Dame, is the other back chosen. Harmeson, Purdue, came along fast as the seacon progressed and Brandenburg and Weist were outstanding all year for their teams. Bratton was about all there was left of the collapsed Danville Normal team that went to pieces when Captain Walls was injured before the season opened. Smith High Scorer O, Smith of Indiana Central was a fleet-footed half back and high scorer of the state, but weak as a blocker and tackier. Liggett was a fine leader for Muncie, as was Willis, a heavy plunging full back star for Indiana State Normal, a team that came fast at the end. The writer saw all teams in the state save two, and these were well scouted. Officials rendered valuable service and coaches were consulted for the final word. It’s our choice. Title Scrap on Coast Tonight Bit United Picxn SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.—Toly Irwin or Bobby Johnson probably will be the referee in the ten-round battle for the junior lightweight title between Tod Morgan, defender, and Santiago Zorilla, here tonight. Selection of the referee will not be announced by the state athletic commission until a few minutes before the gong sounds. Morgan, a product of the lumber camps of the northwest, was a 10 to 7 favorite in what betting there was.
