Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New York, Oct. 16. THE boys are using airplanes to scout football rivals these days. Pennsylvania sent one of her scouts, Pat Duncan by name, out to California to watch the Golden Bears in action last Saturday and after the game was over he hopped into a plane and flew back to Philadelphia, with graphs of the westerners’ pet plays. Asa result the Penn varsity went into action immediately Monday against a scrub team equipped with many of Nibs Price’s formations, and the time intervening before the week-end struggle at Franklin field is to be devoted to devising a suitable defense. a a m Thl* mar not bo thr Aral time tho airplane haft been uned for this purpose, but •o far as I know the practice is not a common one. In due time, of course, it very likelv will be. Mexico has adopted the American version of football and it is also played sporadically in Canada. tt a b ONE OF THESE DAYS THE DEADLY VIRUS MAY EXTEND ACROSS THE OCEAN AND YOU WILL BE READING ABOUT TRANS-ATLANTIC BIRDMEN SCOUTING THE OXFORD ELEVEN FOR HARVARDS NEXT GAME AT CAMBRIDGE ON THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY. THIS AT LEAST WOULD GIVE THE OCEAN HOPPERS A PRACTICAL BASIS FOR THEIR OPERATIONS. WHICH WOULD BE SOMETHING. B tt B SCOUTING Is frowned on at Yale and a few other intellectual centers where the principles of sportsmanship and ethical conduct are carried to harsh extremes. The academic indictment against scouting is that it tends to overemphasize the sport. This strikes me as a rather futile gesture, because there is scarcely anything that can be done that seriously will underemphasize football the way the game has grown in popularity among undergraduates and graduates. BUB Beside* no one ha* yet prepared a eonvinrin? treatise on the subject showing that football is detrimental to the educational advancement of the sophomore mind. If anv. Until that moment arrive* I should think the deans and the head masters would be content to adopt a philosophical attitude toward what is obviously a theoretical situation. U U tt Up till now no university has suffered anv great defamation of character because of the extraordinary talents of Its half backs And what is just as important. If not much more so. is the fact that many of these highly publicized half backs upon leaving college manage to prosper notablv In their various professions In spite of the vicious influences of over emphasized sport to which they were exposed on the campus. u an SCOUTING is probably the most innocuous of all the Imaginary ailments with which collegiate football is afflicted, it is even a question whether the practice can be turned to profitable results by a coach or team. It is an old story that Pop Warner, perhaps the greatest of all coaches, once offered a visiting scout a list of all his plays in diagram in order to save the visitor the ordeal of sitting in the stands and composing the charts himself.

A simitar *torr with a Biz Ten locale Is told of Knute Rockne, of Notre Dame, likewise a coach of more than average standing. I imagine generally speaking, most roaches would rather outplay a team than outscout it. * tt a Scouting is not a device restricted wholly to football coaches. The opposing clubs In the recent world series went in for it on an expansive scale, and with interesting results. Indeed, the pious Cornelius McGllllcuddv has been charged with employing certain tactics that fail to harmonize with the loftv standards of managerial honorableness. B B B THE accusation against the gentleman who has just led his Athletics to a fourth world championship Is not one that may be laughed off lightly either. It seems that he deliberately and with evil aforethought tricked, deluded and otherwise bamboozeled Joe Tinker, the Cub's scout, into believing that young Jimmy Foxx could not hit a high ball thrown close to his head or shoulders. tt B tt The store Is that when McGUlicuddy learned that Tinker was tailing his etub he changed the bailing styles of several of hia players, particularly that of Foxx. and sent them out to swing at everything except the kinds of pitches they were strongest against. B tt tt The natural upshot of this was that the Information Tinker turned over to the Chicago board of strategy was not worth the frayed ruff it was scribbled on. and Foxx proceeded to massacre the National League Ditching in the first two games, or until the Ditchers changed around on him and began serving him low balls outside.

Homecoming Tussles to Attract Huge Crowds to Local Gridirons

Haskell Leader Is Real Athlete

• •**-♦*- ~ti

Louis Weller

THERE will be a full-blooded Caddo Indian out at Butler bowl Saturday when the Haskell Redskins battle the Butler Bulldogs on the white lines. He is Louis Weller, captain of the Haskell eleven, and he plays quarter back for Cdach Dietz’s team. Weller also stars on the diamond and basket court. His team got away to a swift start this season, winning all early games. Weller's home is at Anadarko, Okla.

Carey Won’t Use Schmeling Under Jacobs 9 Direction Bn T'nited Press SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—Although Madison Square Garden Corporation of New York has nothing against Max Schmeling, heavyweight contender, the German will not be allowed to fight in the Garden as long as he is managed by Joe Jacobs. This declaration was made here by W. F. Carey, president of the Garden corporation, who is in San Francisco in another of his official capacities, that of president of the Curtiss Airport Corporation. “We have no feeling whatsoever against Schmeling personally,” Carey said. “In fact, I have found him to be an exceptionally agreeable chap, capable of holding his own in prize ring and drawing room alike —but as long as he intrusts his affairs to Jacobs we are not of a mind to have any business dealings with him.”

Tut and Tenorio Stage Important Fistic Struggle C CHICAGO* Oct. 16.—King Tut, who makes no bones about his aspirations for the 135-pound title, will match gloves with Lope Tenorio, Filipino, here tonight and it appears he must do some excellent fighting if he expects to continue on his way toward a match with Sammy Mandell, lightweight title holder. Tut has shown amazing improvement during the past year and was rated a slight favorite to win. but there were plenty of persons willing to back the Island boy. Tut added to his laurels recently by beating Billy Petrolle, but Tenorio perhaps has as fine a record. Besides Petrolle, Tut has beaten Ray Miller, Pinky Kauffman, Honeyboy Finnegan and a host of others. That Tenorio is capable of furnishing a large evening is shown by his victories over Stanislaus Loayza, Bruce Flowers and Joe Glick. Tenorio also holds a decision over Tut, but that was scored a year ago.

Big Gate Anticipated at Butler-Haskell Intersectional Battle. BULLDOGS SHOW POWER Greyhound Lineup Changed for Evansville Tilt. BY VERN BOXELL Indianapolis football fans are in for a rare treat this week-end, with two collegiate homecoming tilts on local gridirons. Butler bowl will be the scene of a colorful intersectional tussle Saturday that Is attracting national attention. Haskell Indians come here from Lawrence, Kan., to provide the opposition. Indiana Central likewise will hold open house for alumni, meeting Evansville college, rival of long standing, under the floodlights at University Heights Friday night. For years, Haskell has ranked among the strongest elevens in the mid-west. In 1926, the Red Mep hung up an undefeated record in a card crowded with intersectional tilts. The two following seasons also were successful, and this year Coach Deitz has a combination of husky veterans that rank among the best elevens produced at the school in recent campaigns. Weller Among Best In Louis Weller, captain and quarterback, the Indians have a capable field general and one of the fleetest and cleverest broken field runners in the middle west. In the three opening games, Weller has manager to get into an open field for long touchdown runs at least once during the sixty minutes of play. Bulldog backs will find difficulty in slashing the Kansans’ tackles or circling the ends. Veterans occupy these positions on both sides. Coach Clark is handicapped by injuries to some of his most reliable performers. Notably among these are McCarthy, lineman, and Booz and Hinchman, backs. While they have been in uniform recently, Clark probably will not use them unless forced to, saving them for the following Saturday, when the locals journey to New York university for a battle with Chick Meehan’s Violets.

Vance at Full Back Jarrett and Allen are being groomed to fill the Butler ground gaining roles. In Tuesday’s workout, one of the most aggressive of the season, this pair ripped the fx-eshman line for long gains. Coach Good, disappointed in the early game showing of his Central Greyhounds, is contemplating several shifts for the tussle with Evansville. In Tuesday’s workout, Dave Vance, regarded as one of the best tackles in the state last season, was shifted to full back to add drive and defensive strength to the back field. Vance, working with a green line this season, has failed to show his old form at tackle and may get the call to do some ball toting. Loss of Brenneman, star quarter back and one of the best yard-gain-ers of the squad, has placed Good in another hole. Oscar Smith was calling signals Tuesday. Light and Eayles, both promising backs who have worked at full, are expected to place in the starting back field combination. Dick Ace of Aces The Greyhound forward have been given a difficult assignment in stopping Dick, the giant ace full back, whose plunging and broken field work has featured the play of the southerners this season. Large crowds are expected at both games here. Indiana Central officials are planning to take care of 3.000 fans, while at Butler one of the biggest gates since the opening of the new grid arena is anticipated.

Corriden Out to Put Punch in Tribesmen New Indian Manager Has Lines Cast Seeking Talent for IS3O. As nearly all local fans figured, Johnny (Red) Corriden will be the manager of the Indians in 1930, the official announcement coming Tuesday night in a statement from Owner Norman Perry. When Bruno Betzel resigned the reins at the close of the past season the scribes were quick to guess Corriden would be moved up from coach to player boss for there had been rumors to that effect dating back to last winter. Johnny is well-fitted for the duties. He has been a big league player, minor league player, manager and coach and has a wellrounded baseball background. The fact he is on friendly terms with several major league pilots is expected to aid the Indians in obtaining certain talent they are after to put a punch in the 1930 batting order. Corriden has a reputation for developing young players and hopes to give the Washington park customers one or more phenoms to look at next year. He has been in closetouch with Owner Perry and Secretary Clauer since the 1929 campaign ended and has put out lines for several deals that look favorable if they go through. Corriden is a native of Logansport, Ind. He entered baseball with Keokuk of the old Central Association in 1908 and graduated to the St. Louis Browns the next year. He played with St. Louis in 1910 and then went to Kansas City in the association, remaining with the Blues until 1913 when he was sold to the Chicago Cubs. He was with the Cubs in 1913 and 1914 and then v,-as transferred to Louisville, where he remained for three years, going to St. Paul in 1918 and 1919. Corriden did not play professional baseball in 1920, but signed with the St. Joseph tream in the Western 'League In 1921 and 1922. In 1923 and 1924 he was manager of Des Moines in the -Western League and was taken to Minneapolis in 1925 by Mike Kelley, veteran Association manager.

Rv United Press T'vETTROIT, Oct. 16. —Outfielder Harry Heilmann, sold to Cincinnati Tuesday by the Tigers, came to Detroit from Portland, in the Coast League, in 1914, but was sent to San Francisco under option. He returned here in 1916 and played as a regular since, except in 1918, when he joined the navy. Heilmann’s feats of leading the American League in batting in 1921, 1923, 1925 and 1927 gave him the reputation of being an “odd year” hitter, and he was sadly disappointed when he failed to regain his lead this season. His 1929 average was ,345.

The Muncie team lost a close decision to Indiana Central, then dropped a game to the strong Bowling Green (Ky.) team and last week was nosed out by Franklin.
