Central Tilt in Afternoon Greyhound-Valpo Game Is Moved Up. Indiana Central Greyhounds are hard at work preparing for their final home stand of the season against Valparaiso Saturday. Through an agreement between the two coaches the game will be played at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, instead of at night, as scheduled. The change was made to enable the northern Indiana team to make train connections. Coach Good has been working his squad double time, with signal drills at neon and more extensive workouts in the afternoon. Injuries have handicapped the Centralites throughout the season, and indications are that several reserves will see action Saturday with regulars on the bench. The Greyhounds will play North Manchester and Oakland City on their home fields to close the season.

Group Name Is Sought for Purdue All-Star Back Field High-Scoring Boilermakers, With Reputation of Balanced Power, Still Unnamed; Welch Backbone of Quartet.

Bv Time* Srterinl LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Nov. 7.—Purdue’s high scoring back field quartet, composed of Ralph Welch. Glen Harmeson. Alex Yunevich and John White, through its consistent performances in chalking up five straight victories, has earned a reputation for balanced power that Iras been equalled by few ball carrying combinations and has started sports scribes groping for an appropriate label. Every man in the back field is a distinct threat to the opposition at all times, and once a foe concentrates on stopping one man, any one of the other three is apt to break loose. “Pest” Welch, recognized as a national star for the past two years, is admittedly playing the best ball of his career, but it has been his great team play, rather than individual spectacularism that has caught the eye of the experts this season. In addition to retaining all

Judge Landis Wants Ball Players Cut In On Purchase Price

Diamond Commissioner Said to Favor Slice of 10 Per Cent for Athletes Figuring in Money Deals. BY JOE WILLIAMS Sport* Editor. New York Telegram NEW YORK, Nov. 7/—I am told Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis is in favor of putting a 10 per cent tariff on bush league ivory, and that the good man plans to wage a crusade with this in view at the winter baseball meetings. The Judge feels a ball player is entitled to a slice of the money that his sale from one ciub to another brings. Just how far the commissioner ■will get In his effort to make this scheme a part of baseball law remains to be seen. The major leagues who do the purchasing will, of course, be for it, but the minor leaguers would be the ones who would have to split with the player under the system proposed by the judge. There is no reason why the player shouldn't share in the purchase moneys. Ultimately he will. It takes time to drive a base ball reform home. Even an obvious one.

This year there were several evidences of rebellion on the part of athletes who had been sold to tfie majors for fancy dough. Those who were disposed to make an Issue of the thing succeeded in getting something from the magnates who sold them, or the big league clubs which bought them. Two outfielders were sold by the San Francisco club last winter to the American League—Averlll going to Cleveland for $45,000 and Johnson to Detroit for $50,000. Had the proposed Landis tariff been in force Averill would have received $4,500 ar.d Johnson $5,000 from the ’Frisco owners. When they got nothing they balked and refused to report, though the contracts offered them by the major league clubs, I am told, were satisfactory. After some weeks a settlement of a sort was made and the players finally agreed to join their major league outfits. Johnson and Averill represent typical examples. The ’Frisco club practically picked them up off the sand lots at no more expense to the owners than is habitually involved in taking a long deep breath of fresh air. The players developed Into standout gate attractions and through them the clubs profited to the extent of many thousands of dollars, over and above the combined $95,000 their subsequent sales yielded. A 10 per cent tribute to the hired hands seems little enough.

Right alongside Y/elch comes Glen Harmeson of Indianapolis, the stylist of the squad, whose exasperating cut backs through tackle and accurate forward passes were the downfall of Chicago and Wisconsin. Alex Yunevich, sophomore full back, proved his right to be ranked with his mates with ‘his great performance against Michigan, and when a few yards are needed, the Bicknell lad generally delivers. John Whrte. as a sophomore quarter back, has displayed unusual cleverness as safety man, strategist and blocker, in addition to contributing his share of the ground gaining.

Hard Drills at Wabash Vaughan Drives Squad for Butler Invasion, Bv United Press CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 7. —Long, hard drills continued to be the favorite tools with which Coach Vaughan is knitting together his Wabash squad for the contest Saturday with Butler. Aggressive, line-gaining tactics have been hammered hard during the last three days. Wednesday’s drill was the longest of the season, with Vaughn devoting most of the time to his offense, attempting to develop a scoring punch. Another long workout was scheduled for today, with the Scarlet mentor attempting to strengthen his defense. With Matthews out, Lonsberry and Swails continued to divide the quarter back duties, with Weist, Engle and Egan in the other back field roles. Sullivan worked at kicking, indicating that the Scarlet would try for points by the field goal route. Thirty-five players w r ill leave for Indianapolis Saturday morning.

Coach Harry Kipke is being aided this week by the veteran Hurry Up Yost in an effort, to convince Michigan’s nonwinning football players that they can play. Like Thistle- j thwaite of Wisconsin, the Wolver- i ine coaches believe their men can play, but have lost consistently because of a “nonscoring complex” that causes their fighting spirit to wane whenever they approach an enemy goal. The Wolves play Harvard Saturday. MAROONS CONFIDENT Bn United Prrgg CHICAGO. Nov. 7.—Unable to work his men up to their highest “point” two weeks in succession, Coach Alonzo Stagg this week is trying to do the next best thing by drilling the overconfidence out of his Maroons, who have not yet lost their elation because of last week’s victory over Princeton. Chicago plays Wisconsin Saturday and Wisconsin has not won a Conference game, but the schools are traditional rivals and anything may happen when they meet.

Billy Shaw to Box Cox Here Nov. 18 Tracy and Detroit Feather Billed to Top Tomlinson Hall Card. Tracy Cox, Brightwood feather- ! weight who has been climbing rapidly in fistic prominence, has been matched with Billy Shaw, wellknown Detroit scrapper, to top a boxing program at Tomlinson hall Monday Nov. 18. It will be a tenround attraction. The supporting card will consist of three eightrounders and a “six,” with Jackie Reynolds, Muncie welterweight, facing Johnny Cemas in one of the “eights.” The Shamrock Athletic Club Is staging the show, and Arol Atherton is matchmaker. Cox is the lad who surprised glove circles of the middle west by knocking out Eddie O'Dowd, experienced Columbus feather, at Ft. Harrison last summer. O’Dowd was flattened in the third round. In another clash at Columbus, Cox again defeated O’Dowd on points, and the veteran retired from the game, it is said. Later Cox met Mike O’Dowd, brother of Eddie, and lost on points in a furious fight, and after the Shaw scrap here it is said efforts will be made to stage another CoxMike O’Dowd tilt. Billy Shaw fought at the Armory last winter against Bud Taylor and made an impressive showing after a slow start. Taylor at the time was starting a comeback and it almost met with disaster as the Michigan mauler grew stronger and Taylor weakened. Shaw has battled numerous other prominents.

bunch always having an aggressive squad. Joe Deinhart’s lads were nosed out 6 to 0 by Shortridge last Friday in a heart-breaker and they will be out to make up lost prestige at the expense of the upstaters. Seymour has been going good down south and the rejuvenated Park school gang have a busy afternoon if they are to defeat the invaders. Logans Beat Kokomo The Technical-Logansport game should be a thriller. Last Saturday the Loganberries smeared Kokomo. The score came late in the final quarter on a forward pass. The Logan team had a strong defense and the Kars never seriously threatened their goal line. It was the second straight defeat for Kokomo after a rim of six victories and now the Tech encounter looks anything but on the win side of the ledger for the locals. Tech came out of the Manual game in good shape. Shortridge should find little trouble in disposing of Morton at Richmond, the red and white team having suffered some reverses already this fall. Shortridge keyed up for Washington and Cathedral and likely will not be at top form Saturday. However, they should be able to coast to a victory. Washington Favorite Washington will have its hands full at Sheridan as the Hamilton county team is always strong. Sheridan was held to a scoreless tie last Friday by Lebanon, although the Fletcher-coached team had three good chances to score. From a figure standpoint, though, the Wasnington bunch should come through by about two touchcdowns. Manual will find another tough foe at Bloomington Saturday.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

THE Milwaukee club launched a movement, to put. over the split season plan in the American Association and the proposition will be aired at the league meeting in Chicago late this month. The system calls for two races, the first ending about July 4, with winners of the two meeting after the regular season to determine the year’s champion. Most of the league magnates are luke warm toward the project at this time, but there always is a chance of new ideas being given a trial. The Pacific Coast League, also Class AA, has tried out the split arrangement and likes it. 000 The White Sox and Giants are going to tour Mexico next spring for about six games and will go deep into the country below the Rio Grande. East end friends of Ownie Bush, are thinking of presenting him with a sombrero and other regalia typical of hot tamale land. 0 0 0 Outfielders Zitzmann and Purdy probably will be the first fly chasers cut lcose by Manager Dan Howley of the Cinciy Reds. He has a mob : of them on hand, others being Heilman, Meusel, Allen, Webb, Walker, Callaghan, Crabtree and Swanson. 000 The Columbus “farm” is certain to be strengthened when the Reds unload. Callaghan and Crabtree operated with the Senators the past season and Callaghan was the best left fielder in the A. A. Harry Heilmann Hill understudy George Kelly, Cincy first sacker, when not outfielding. 0 Louisville has put out the word that Eddie Sicking, expert second baseman, is on the market, and there are many Indianapolis fans who crave to see the veteran back in the uniform of the Indians. He captained the Tribe before going to the Colonels and is still a great ball player, smart, swift and a .300 hitter. He will be replaced at Louisville by Bill Herman, a youthful phenom. *0 If Indianapolis keeps Shortstop Warstler, the combination of Sicking and Warstler would be the delight of the league around the keystone. Bud Connolly, though a courageous pastimer, is too slow on his feet to bring out the best that is in Warstler. am* A swift infield is a gate attraction, for infield practice is worth an early trip to the park when the boys pass the sphere around among them with speed and precision. 000 IT would be entertainment de luxe with Monahan on first, Sicking on second, McMillan, now of the Cubs, on third, and Warstler at short. Only a dream, perhaps, but dreams have been known to pan out in baseball. 0 m m Manager Sothoron of the Kentuckians has informed his fans a good guess on his 1930 infield lineup will be Branom, first base; Herman, second base; Ganzel, third base, and Olivares or Funk at short.

East Boosts Panthers as Title Threat Chance for Recognition as Champion Clouded bv Schedule, However. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Nov. 7.—With the nation’s list of undefeated and untied football teams reduced to nine, Cornell, Kentucky, Notre Dame. Minnesota, Pittsburgh. Purdue. Texas Christian. Tennessee and Tulane, eastern fans are hailing Jock Sutherland’s Pittsburgh Panthers as a worthy contender for mythical national honors. Pitt's claims to recognition are clouded by the fact the Panthers' schedule is net conductive to the establishment of an impression of real greatness, but fans, officials who have worked in Pitt’s games and opposing teams are of the opinion that Sutherland's eleven is the greatest gridiron outfit of the season. Nebraska and Ohio State are the strongest teams Pitt has been called upon to meet, and although neither of these has lost, a game except to Pittsburgh, they are not rated *fcs real topnotchers. In its other games Pitt has defeated Waynesburg, Duke. West Virginia and Allegheny, piling up a total of 202 points and holding its six opponents to 23. Washington and Jefferson, Carnegie Tech and Penn State complete the Pitt schedule and there is little reason to believe that any of them will produce serious opposition.
