Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Oct. 21. THOSE gifted Merriwell brothers —Frank and Dick—would have a tough time getting anywhere if they were around these days, in the flesh or otherwise. Os course, you will recall the Merriwells. They were the climax performers of a stirring form of sports literature. In the closing minutes of play It was always one of the brothers who slammed out the home run or went over for the touchdown that won the old ball game. a a a But th* M*rrlw*ll. onfnrtunatclT. were alt fletinn. an<l tbeir dramatic aeeomptUhm.nt, were restricted to the nag** of paper back novel*. Today the athlete* are dolor thl* *nrt of thine hotter than even the Merriwell* ever did it. and thev are doinr It without the aid of an author a Inflamed Imagination a a a THERE was a distinct Merriwell touch to the 20-20 tie which Harvard achieved in the game with Army over the week-end. With less than three minutes to play and the Crimson behind seven points, a 19-year old sophomore. Willie Wood, not even a first string back, pegged a 55-yard pass squarely into the arms of a team mate for a touchdown, and a moment later while 90,000 person'’ sat In frozen silence the same young man booted the ball over the white cross bar for the tying point. ana Thr prOfcsMoiat dramuti*!* who turn nt th*** sr3l n-tiltinr movleg In Hollywood whfr< Ih* Animated Collar Ad* pick nn fumbled Mil* b*rk of iMr own and rnn !h* fnlt lerHh of tho field to rore wlnnfnr touchdown* eonldn’t have rleviied tt nora f aneetacular or Ineredlble climax than that one. tt ft tt It was one of those unbelievable things that somehow manages to occur from time to time. Captain Biff Jones, the Army coach, doesn't believe It yet. “I'd read about those things,” says the captain, “but I never saw one of them bpfore.” It is understood on highest military authority that if he does not see an-j other one again for 100 years and three days it will be too soon. a a a THIS young Wood, incidentally, is ! quite an athlete. Football is | only one of his weaknesses. He can do a lot of things on a baseball diamond. a tennis court, or a golf course. It is even said of him that he is a raging terror at ping pong, though this is believed to be a base canard circulated by disgruntled cadet*. a a a What I liked about the yoiiu? man Sat* urdjtv nerfect composure In the Dicthrs.

On the success or failure of this comparatively trivial details the final and complete outcome of a football drama that had risen to heroic heights hinged. a a a ALL the highlights of the day's moving pageant were lost irt intense speculation as Wood took his position twenty yards in front of the pests to try for the kick. The Army crowd sat wordless, fearful that the kick would succeed; the Harvard crowd hardly dared to breathe fearful that it wouldn't. Little wonder then you could have dropped a bottle opener and everybody in the vast amphitheater would have heard It. a a a Football Is like that. Frequently you get your thrills from the moat unexpected sources, and from maneuvers requiring only a minimum of activity and limited skill.

Big Six Title Fight Opens on Saturday Intersectional Games Over: Missouri Meets Nebraska in Feature Battle. B" United Press KANSAS CITY. Mo., Oct. 21. Big Six football squads which have been measuring their standards against opponents in other sections during the early season will pick up the burden of a race for the conference championship Saturday. Coaches launched a heavy week’s program of practice today. In the two conference games played thus far, Missouri defeated lowa State and Kansas Aggies defeated Kansas university. Oklahoma and Nebraska have confined their activity to intersectional contests. Missouri, with her severest tests yet to face, is the only team in the conference which has gone unbeaten.

Oklahoma went down before Texas university last week-end. while Kansas Aggies beat Kansas and Missouri won from Drake. In the games this week, lowa State meets Kansas at Ames. Kansas Aggies play Oklahoma at Manhattan and Missouri meets Nebraska at Columbia.

RY DICK MILLER A man known to football fans as ‘Kenny Prognosticator,” suffering from bruises, kicks and exhaustion, was found near the Butler university bowl late Saturday. Police, checking up on his identity, declared he was wanted here and also in several more cities over the country where he had falsely represented strength of football teams previous to games last Saturday. His predictions caused persons to expect certain verdicts that did not materialize, and while these failures are generally called upsets, the losses made it tough on the forecasters. Right in our midst Butler took a trouncing at the hands of Haskell Indians, 13-6. It came on the eve of the eastern invasion, where on next Saturday the Bulldogs will tackle New York university.

A few minutes after Bing slammed that pitch of Fat Malone's for two bases, scoring the winning run for the Athletics in the final game of the series, he was asked to speak over the radio. “Hello, my Vinton friends," Bing said. “I hope you enjoyed the game. I’ll see you soon.” To say that Vinton was pleased is not enough—lt was elated. Immediately plans got under way to greet Bing. It’s seme seventeen years since Bing left a farm near here and he’s been knocking about minor and major leagues ever since. He always has spent the baseball off season in Vinton.
Gioom at Indiana
Hi/ United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Oct. 21. There was to be no rest for the Hoosiers today, according to Pat Page, who planned a stiff afternoon practice. The 21 to 6 defeat at the hands of Colgate Saturday placed a serious outlook on the Indiana grid season and every effort will be made to stop Ohio State this week and even up the score sheet, which is now topheavy with defeats.
apparent during the game that Butler will have to brush up on its forward pass attack and not only learn how to pass ’em but when to heave 'em. It Is true that Curly Hinchman, the human dynamo of the Bulldogs was on the side lines and Captain Hosier was used as a substitute for a short while, but at that the team Butler used should have emerged victorious. Thanks to Notre Dame, Indiana's reputation was upheld at Chicago when the Irish exhibited before 85.000 fans at Soldiers’ field. They trounced Wisconsin, 19-0. Coach Rockne, still suffering from his leg injury, was hardly needed, as his good man Friday (Tom Leib) had the shock troops keyed up to such a pitch when he sent them in to start the game that they scored a touchdown in short order.

Mooneys of Georgetown

Georgetown university, Washington, D. C„ has three brothers on its 1929 football squad, the Mooneys from Chicago. Left to right they are: Philip; James, captain of the team, and Bill.
Joe Savoldi, easily the star of the afternoon, galloped forty yards to goal. That was just a warm up and later he galloped seventy-two yards for another. Jack Elder who already has reached headline this fall, cut into the glory of the day with a forty-three yard dash for 6 points. Pete Vaughan's Wabash eleven trimmed the Georgetown, Ky., team 7 to 0, at Crawfordsville Saturday night. The Cavemen rallied in the last ten minutes to win. It rather had been expected that Colgate would hand Pat Page’s Hoosiers their third defeat of the season. 21-6, at Bloomington. Led by fine interference, Dowler scored first in the opening quarter after a seventy-five-yard dash. Indiana exhibited a powerful drive to score a touchdown before half time. Ross and Todd .slashed off tackle to the easterners’ thirteen-
American turf will reach the ears of the veteran starter no more. For Mars is dead. After sending away from the barrier nearly 100.000 fields of thoroughbred race horses, according to his own recent estimate, Cassidy succumbed to stomach illness and a complication of internal disorders which had troubled him for a year or more and died at his home in Hollis, Sunday morning. Mars stuck to his task as starter, which he took up for forty years ago, until the close of the recent Jamaica meeting less than a week ago. He was ready to go on again at the current meeting at Empire, but was stricken and died suddenly. Funeral services, which probably will be attended by many prominent figures of the American turf, will be on Tuesday. Cassidy, who was born In the heart of a thoroughbred community at Edgarton, Md.„ 67 years ago, is survived by three sons, Marshall, Wendell and George, the last named being his assistant at the barrier in metropolitan racing circles. Horsemen throughout North America knew Mars, for he officiated at scores of tracks in this country, Mexico and Canada.

The regulars played the last eight minutes and added one counter to make the final count 26-7. However, some of the first bunch were not reserves, as no one figures Jim Purvis and Lou Pope anybody's bench warmers. Pope scored two touchdowns with his twisting runs and Purvis one. A driving line, led by L. Felix and an offense not to be stopped, led by T. Felix £nd Johnson, gave the fightin’ Quakers of Earlham a chance to score an impressive 2C-0 victory before a home-coming crowd at Richmond over the undefeated Franklin team. The Franklin line lacked chafge and Surface, the star “Grizzly” full back, never had a chance.

Rain Discourages Local Visit of Mack’s Stars
After wiring for a date this week at Washington park, Earl Mack’s big league All-Stars, made up of a galaxy of American league pastimers, evidently decided the weather gamble was too great for a trip here. At any rate the Indianapolis baseball club has received no word from young Mack since Saturday. The All-Stars asked for a date here for a contest with the Chicago American Giants, but rain Sunday and today apparently broke up the barnstorming tour.

Gophers and Boilermakers Show Most Ability of Four Undefeated Elevens. OHIO STATE ON 'TOP Illinois Hurt by Tie: Michigan Drops Two. BY BERT DEMBY, United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Around Purdue and Minnesota, the former a “dark horse" at the start of the season and the latter an admitted title contender, the majority of Big Ten interest centered today, as all conference teams began practice for next Saturday’s games. The favoritism toward the Gophers and Boilermakers is the result of the ability exhibited by both these teams in games up to date. At present Ohio State is leading the conference as the result of two victories scored over lowa and Michigan, and no losses. Three other teams—Chicago, Minnesota, and Purdue—have perfect records, but each of these has won only one game. Illinois Record Marred Illinois lias neither victory nor defeat charged to it, but the Illini record is marred by a 7.7 tie played with lowa last Saturday, and that after lowa had lost to Ohio. One of the teams with a perfect record is almost certain to receive a blemish next Saturday when Purdue meets Chicago. The Boilermakers, with their 30-16 victory over Michigan, appear to have the better team and incidentally as good a back field as most coaches hope for. When Harmeson. Welch and Yuhevich start down the field it’s going to take a real football team to stop them. Injuries may keep Yunevich out of action Saturday, "but Purdue will be the favorite anyway. The other conference games Sat. urday find Indiana playing Ohio State. lowa meeting Wisconsin and Michigan hooking up with Illinois. lowa, Badgers Close Ohio, with its unblemished record, must be rated favorite over the Hoosiers. The lowa-Wisconsin game appears to be one of those affairs where it is impossible to figure either team before the game. The Hawkeyes proved they have a good team when they held Illinois to 7-7 tie last Saturday. The Badgers probably are better than they showed in the two defeats which they received from Northwestern and Notre Dame. Against the Irish Saturday the Wisconsin line looked to be anything but good. However, Coach Thistlethwaite has some good back field men, and if he can strengthen his line his team may yet cause trouble in the Big Ten. Illinois, conference champion for the last two years, on paper appear to be as good as during the past two seasons, and must be rated favorite over Michigan. The other conference teams play nonconference opponents next Saturday. Minnesota meets Ripon and Wabash plays Northwestern.

Yankee Pilot Must Rebuild From Minors Rivals Not to Help Shawkey, Who Assumes Duties This Week. Bv T nited prrn * NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—80 b Shawkey returns from a Canadian hunting trip this week to take up the management of the New York Yankees. The Yankees, beaten out for the American League pennant this year after three successful seasons, appear on the downward path. The task of stepping in as successor to the late Miller Huggins in handling the former world's champions is by no means a sinecure. Ruppert’s Purse Open Needing new and young blood, the local American League club will have no help from Its rivals. Shawkey will have to pick wisely and well from the minors, although he will have Colonel Jacob Ruppert's everready pocketbook at his disposal. In a short time, among other problems, Shawkey will have to find a successor to Babe Ruth. The home run king can not go on for long. The Babe is ready and anxious to co-operate with Bob the Gob in every way, he says, but failing legs soon will put the mightiest slugger of them all on ttie sidelines. Left Side Weak The Yankees must be rebuilt from top to bottom If they are to figure promirtently in forthcoming American League pennant race. Bob Meusel has been sold from the club, and the left side of the infield must be reorganized. The pitching staff is a problem in itself. Pharmer Leads Big Ten Scorers Bv United Press CHICAGO.

to attain recognition as mythical national champions—will meet Saturday in the most important encounter of midseason in the far west, with an attendance of 88,000 persons assured. The Cardinals brought their early season activities to a close with a 40 to 7 victory over Oregon State Saturday and the Trojans were given a final polishing in public while trouncing Occidental college, 64 to 0. Betting will be about even. Southern California seems to have an edge on reserve strength, while Stanford will depend on co-ordina-tion in tricky passes and reserves. One Pacific coast conference game will be played this week, but the contestants each have been defeated. Oregon will be favored to beat Washington. The Webfeet defeated Idaho Saturday, 24 to 7, while Washington State was beating Washington. 20 to 13. California will meet the Olympic Club eleven at Berkeley. DARTMOUTH GETS READY Bu United Pre** HANOVER, N. H.. Oct. 21.—Preparing for the Harvard game this coming Saturday, Dartmouth is to spend the week working on an open attack, and the meeting of the traditional rivals at Soldiers’ field, Cambridge, is bound to be a high scoring affair, probably even more so than the Crimson’s 20-20 tie with the Army.
