Talking It Over WITH JOE WILI IMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 DESPITE semi-official denials, 1 the American League is likely to authorize the use of resin by its pitchers next season. Resin is used by pitchers to enable them to get a j firmer and surer grip on the ball j This makes it easier to throw curve balls. In recent years the National League has been more of a curve ball league than the American. This has been due in some degree to the : fact that National League pitchers use the resin and American i Leaguers do not. B B B Bin Johnson opposed tlif nf of rum in th* American League on the ground that it gave the pitcher an unnatural advantage and encouraged other forint ol tnckerv in the box. Johnson’* stand teas not wholly approved by his league and led to one of the numerous clashes he had with Judge Landis and ultimately to h*s enforced retirement from the game. u a a THE American League would have adopted the resin last summer if it had not been for a negative vote by Cornelius McGillicuddy who foresaw the possibilities of danger in adding new strength to the rival pitching staffs. As long as McGillicuddy was out in front, riding high, wide and cadaverous, he wasn’t particularly interested in the collapse of curve ball pitching as viewed by the seven other distressed magnates. Starting next spring from scratch his sentiments probably will be different. a a a Hilly Kvans of the Cleveland hall elub, mho** spirited play was the surprise of the baseball world last season* was talking about the effects of the lively ball during the recent world series. a a a “A phase of the suituation that is not generally recognized concerns the youngster who is just turning to the game as a recreation,” says Evans. "It's becoming tougher and tougher to interest a youngster in the business of pitching, whereas twenty years ago all the youngsters wanted to go out there and try to throw the ball past the hitter. BBS PITCHERS are knocked out of the box with such frequency these days that this end of the game has lost much of its glamorous appeal. No youngster likes to be J yanked from the box time after! time. It makes him look bad.” a* * l Evans says this lark of enthusiast for pitching is marked on the college diamonds. and that the eoarh frequently has to resort to oratorical eloquence to get anybody to tackle he job. n u u ' ,r pHERE is a greater intimacy be- j -1- tween the college crowds and the players than you find in professional baseball,” says Evans. “At the college games the crowds are made up of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and sweethearts, and your young college hero does not relish being slammed all over the lot while these people are looking on.” a a a Incidentally . . . Evans insists that the baseball now in use in the two big leagues is about 20 per rent faster than it was before it was crossed with the Jack Rabbit in 1920.

Top Eastern Trio to Meet Weaker Foes Yale, Pitt and Cornell Have Breathers; Many Good Tilts on Card. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. B.—Three of the east's fdotbai’ leaders—Yale, Pittsburgh and Cornell—have slight breathing spells in their schedules Saturday, before they tackle dangerous rivals a week hence. After beating Brown, Army and Dartmouth on successive Saturdays, Yale anticipates less trouble from Maryland at New Haven. Maryland beat Yale last year, 6 to 0, and has eight of the 1928 veterans back, but old Eli expects to win. \fath the Princeton and Harvard games following the Maryland invasion, Yale will conserve as much strength as possible for the traditional foes. i Pitt Plays W. & J. Pittsburgh, one of the east’s two unbeaten and untied teams, plays W. & J. at Pittsburgh, but is looking a week ahead to the annual game with Carnegie Tech on Nov. 16. W. & J. is undefeated, but has been held to scoreles sties by Carnegie Tech and Temple, both beaten. Cornell, without a defeat or tie on its record, but without an outstanding victory, meets Western Reserve at Ithaca. With . Dartmouth as next week’s opponent, Cornell is expected to use reserves and save its regulars. Two of the east’s big teams— Army and Harvard—invade the middle west for games against Big Ten competition. Army plays Illinois at Urbana and Harvard meets Michigan at Ann Arbor. Brown Threatens With A1 Marsters, backbone of the team, through for the season because of an injured back, Dartmouth’s prospects are none too rosy against Brown. Pennsylvania, beaten only by California, 12-7, faces a hard battle against Penn State. With a revised lineup, Navy will attempt to win its first big game of the year against Georgetown of Washington. Boston college and Fordham both are undefeated, but the former has been tied by Villa Nova and the latter by Davis Elkins and West Virginia. An intersectional game of promise brings together New York university and Georgia, conqueror of Yale, at Yankee stadium. TWIN BILL I FOR DAVIS Ben Davis high school’s basketball team meets Vafiey Mills and West Newton in a double-header tonight at Bridgeport community house. Coach Cinicks and Assistant Coach Heavenridge have put the Purple and White squad through hard workouts this week. DUNDEE TO TRY AGAIN NEW YORK, Nov. B.—Johnny Dundee of New York, former featherweight champion and veteran of more than 500 bouts, has changecl his mind about retiring and will meet Georgie Goldberg of Brooklyn in a ten-round bout at Broadway Arena, Brooklyn, Nov. 12.

Knute Believes Cagle Will Baffle Illini; Looks for Wolverines to Become Inspired; Gopher Horse Power Stressed. BY KNUTE ROCKNE Member All-America Football Board (Ref. U. 8. Patent Office) For the first time in footbail history an Army eleven is coming west Saturday to play a western team. Many a western team has gone east to play the Army, but owing to the strict regulations of the military service the Cadet's trip to Champaign Saturday is the first time that the strict bonds of red tape along that line have been broken. The game is the leading attraction in the middlewest due to the fact that over a period of years the two schools have been rich in football traditions. The Army back field has been just as good as ever but the line has been rather spotty. Illinois has been playing good defensive ball, but so far the attack has failed to show very much. However, any one going back over past records will notice that the Illinois teams under Zuppke always came y back with a bang whenever they had been beaten. The West Pointers are anxious to make a good showing in the west, so it should be quite a game with the winner difficult to pick. I pick West Point because Cagle is a threat who may get away any one of the sixty minutes no matter how clever Zuppke’s defense may be.

The Harvard invasion of Ann Arbor is another social victory for the middlewest. It’s a long way from Boston to Ann Arbor—if you know what I mean. Either of these teams has had the success so far this year that its admirers had hoped for, though Harvard did tie the Army team by means of a last minute forward pass. I think Coach Kipke is doing good work in making an improved showing from Saturday to Saturday and the Michigan team ought to show its best so far for the Harvard classic. It looks like a pretty even game, but I pick Michigan by an eyelash. I sort of have a hunch that Michigan wall rise in all its might Saturday. Hawks vs. Steam Roller The lov'a squad will have a lot to do with the Conference championship as the tall corn boys will meet the two undefeated teams, Minnesota and Purdue, on successive Saturdays. This Saturday at lowa City they meet Dr. Spears’ steam roller- The power of Dr. Spears’ eleven seems to be just as plentiful as of old, with enough flank threat, snappy forward passing and smart kicking to give the team complete versatility. The lowa squad has been playing nice football but I believe Dr. Spears’ team has a little too much horse power. Northwestern after its great victory over Illinois goes down to Ohio State to play. The indications are that Northwestern should win handily, but Dick Hanley’s men should beware of a let-down after their supreme effort as Willaman’s men can not be taken lightly. But, if everything goes according to Hoyle, Northwestern should win. Thinks Badgers Are Due I pick Wisconsin to beat Chicago by a small margin. Chicago, after its superb victory over Princeton, probably will let down a little, and it is on this account I believe Wisconsin will shade the Maroons. Purdue will take a breather in “Ole Miss” at Lafayette. Drake has been playing some good football in spots, but does not look formidable enough to threaten Notre Dame too seriously when the two teams meet in Chicago. In past years, when Butler and Wabash clashed, the occasion usually produced one of the most interesting games in Indiana. This year, however, Wabash is away below par on material as the school faculty has become somewhat hysterical Over high class marks, and so Butler should have a comparatively easy time of it. (Copyright. 1929. by The Times)

Rockne’s Choices Army with Cagle in lineup to defeat Illinois. Michigan to stop Harvard. Minnesota to beat lowa. Northwestern to win from Ohio State. Wisconsin to take Chicago by small margin. Purdue will find Mississippi easy. Notre Dame to beat Drake. Kansas to win from Oklahoma. Kansas Aggies to defeat lowa State. Missouri to take University of Washington (St. Louis). Marquette to beat Creighton. Detroit to win from University of West Virginia. Ohio Wesleyan has edge over Wittenberg. Loyola of Chicago to take Loyola of South. Butler should have it easy Saturday with Wabash.

Cathedral Team Goes to Kirklin Cathedral high school gridders will play ac Kirklin Saturday instead of at Washington park, as had been previously slated, according to Coach Joe Dienhart. The Irish are in good shape after the gruelling Shortridge tilt last week and a victory of the Upstaters is expected. Dienhart plans on taking a large squad on the trip and substituting freely if possible to save his men for the next week’s game with Washington. CATHEDRAL RESERVES WIN Catherdal high school reserves downed Washington reserves Thursday, 12 to 0, on the Washington field. Markey made several long gains for the winner, and scored once on a fifty-yard dash. Peake •scored the other Cathedral marker.

Army Invades Midwest for Illinois Battle Crowd of 68,000 to See Cagle and Others in Big Ten Bow. flu Time s Snccial CHAMPAIGN. 111.. Nov. B.—Army, led by its red-headed half back. Captain Chris Cagle, who flits about the gridiron in Red Grange manner. invades the Illinois stadium Saturday for one of the major intersectional battles of the season, before a capacity crowd of 68.000. Every ticket has been sold and positively there will be no "turn backs” to put on sale at the stadium Saturday. C. E. Brown, ticket manager, announced. Both teams have been beaten and tied but still rank high in their respective sections. Army's record is four victories, a tie with Harvard and a defeat by Yale- Illinois has' won three, was tied by lowa, and downed by Northwestern. On the season’s showing, Army has the edge, and the Illini scouts report that Cagle and Murrel are supper-backs, better than any Illinois has met in the Big Ten this season. Army has not lost a game, to a middle-western team except Notre Dame, since 1890. The Cadets journeyed to Chicago a few years ago for its annual game with Navy, but has never appeared before on a middle-western collegiate gridiron. Coach Zuppke, whose men took things easy in early practice this week to recover from the Northwestern defeat, intends to start the same eleven unless "Frosty” Peters is able to play. In that event, Peters will resume his quarter back duties, with Mills going back to his half back berth. BOOTH NOT TO START NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. B. Coach Mai Stevens has decided to start Wilson at quarter back against Maryland Saturday, Albie Booth will start the second period.
