American wrestling managers are smart people, but most of ’em are ready to admit the so-called heavyweight champion of Afghanistan, Ghafcor Kahn, is a new answer to a mat promoter's prayer.

Sept. 16.—Another of those crucial battles which has made the current National League race the greatest in history—save for the 1908 season when the Cubs beat the Giants out by half a game in a replay of a tie game—opened today between the league-leading Brooklyn Robins and the second-place St. Louis Cardinals.

Lou Gehrig’s forty-seven homers in 1927 was the next best to Ruth’s until Wilson came along.

Each of the conference schools will be discussed separately, with the final article including a consensus prediction by the middlewest’s leading sports writers on the rating of each team at the close of the season. Tuesday’s article will discuss the University of Chicago. BY nIXON~STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—Although the loss of two all-Americas, an allWestern and three regular ends might cause a lot of coaches to break down in tears, Noble Kizer, Purdue’s new head football coach, is wasting no time in sobbing and is devoting all his energies to developing a competent eleven for the Boilermakers’ title defense. Pest Welch, Glen Harmeson, Elmer Sleight. Bill Mackle, Woemer and Caraway, all of whom were lost by graduation, do not crop up on every football tree. Kizer and his assistants, Mai El ward. Earl Martineau and Christy Flanagan, already have started grafting some sturdy shoots that give promise of branching out and blossoming along with the remains of the 1929 squad.

"I get my buffalo milk in five gallon cans shipped from my home country every two weeks, scentiffcally refrigerated,” Kahn explained during an interview. Cow’s milk, he says, upsets his stomach but defenders of "old bossy” have tried to point out to Ghafoor that most American cows were discontented on his arrival during the drought. f Anyway, Yankee wrestling champions hope the Afghan sticks to the buffalo milk diet, for they are inclined to believe they wouldn’t have a chance with him if he had started life lunching on elephant milk.

straight. Preparations to hold the world series in Brooklyn already have been started, and if the Robins win two out of three or three straight from the Cardinals, they can go on. The Cardinals must win two out of three or three in a row to overhaul the Robins. With their spirit broken and their ranks sadly depleted, the Chicago Cubs gathered all their strength for one final pennant drive in the three-game series opening today against the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds. The Cubs divided a double-header with the last-place Phillies Monday, and now are a game and a. half from the top with only eleven games left to play. The Cubs have lost eleven out of their last sixteen games. Lefty O'Doul’s homer in the ninth with the score tied enabled the Phillies to win the first game, 12-11. Guy Bush halted a rally in the ninth, the Cubs winning the second game, 6-4.
shows that the Boilermakers have available twenty-one major lettermen, six minor lettermen, and a husky group of promising sophomores. Two well-tested "rivets” from last year’s “four riveters” back field— Alex Yunevich, husky full back, and Jack White, quarter back, probably will be permanent fixtures in the rebuilt back field. The fight for half back berths is an open battle between Ed Risk, Jim Purvis, Lewis Pope and Howard Kissell, a quartet of shifty lettermen ball carriers, with sophomore candidates having little prospect of breaking into the lineup. Lewis Miller and Lester Sherbeck, who divided the time at center last year, are back in harness with Koehler and Westerman, sophomores, furnishing competition. Five lettermen and one minor lettermen —George Stears, Horace Buttner, Don Trimble, Jack Christman, Sam Voinoff and Don Fassler are competing for guard positions. Loss of Sleight, all-America tackle, is tempered by the fact that George Van Bibber, who was rated on a par wild his teammate, is back in his old stand at left tackle. Richard Chubb and Eugene Boswell, both lettermen, end John Husar, Clair Helmer and Edward Ungers, sophomores, look like the best of the other tackle possibilities. Paul Calvert and Ed Moon, the only surviving ends from the 1929 team, seem due to draw the early assignments, although they will be pushed for the right to permanent ownership by Paul Moss and Richard Bateman, a speedy pair of passgrabbing sophomores. While Purdue’s schedule may not be one of those "suicide” affairs, it is hardly designed to make Coach Kizer rest easy. Six conference games, five of them in a row following the season’s opener against Baylor, favorite for the southwest conference title, are included. The complete schedule is: Oct. 4—Baylor at Purdue. Oct. 11—Purdue at Michigan. Oct. 18—Purdue at lowa. Oct. 25—Wisconsin at Purdue (homecoming). Nov. I.—Purdue at Illinois. Nov. B—Purdue at Chicago. Nov. 15—Butler at Purdue.

Rockne Says N. D. Talent Shows Well BY KNUTE ROCKNE. (Member All-America Board of Football) i Reg. U. S. Patent Office > SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 16. Although Norte Dame lost an entire veteran line by graduation and also Jack Elder, a great half back, the football prospects at South Bend are good. Last year’s second string line probably will function this year as the varsity and there is a w r ealth of material for the backfield. The real problem is the question of reserve material in the line. If this can be answered satisfactorily Notre Dame should have a fair season, but the Irish are bound to drop one or two games on the way, as they meet formidable opponents every week, from the opening game against Southern Methodist on Oct. 4 to the ninth game vyth Southern California on Dec. 6. CUBS BUY CATCHER CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—Gilly Campbell, Memphis Southern Association catcher, has been sold to the Chicago Cubs and will report next spring. Campbell hits left-handed.
Legion Boxing AMERICAN Legion boxing programs will begin at the Armory Tuesday evening, Oct. 7, and will continue weekly during the fall, winter and spring months. Gerald B. Ely will be general manager of the shows; J. I. Veach will be in charge of ticket sales, including season reservations, and Earl McKee will continue as director of publicity.

Thousands Seek Seats Brooklyn Series Supply Far Too Smali: Not to Change Fields. Bn t nit r d Press NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—’Thousands of applications for world series tickets already have been received by the Brooklyn Club, and it was apparnet today that supply would be exhausted within two or three days. Efforts to have the Robins play the world series at Yankee stadium, with its 80,000 seating capacity, or the Polo Grounds, with its 60,000 seating capacity, have failed, and President Frank York announced today that if the Robins won they would play their games at Ebbets field, with its mere 29,000 seats. Only 18,000 reserved seats are available, less than one-fifth the expected demand. Long famous for its rabid baseball fans, Brooklyn has staged many hysterical demonstrations during the Robins’ winning spurt of the last two weeks. Dozens of hats are tossed on to the field every day. The Robins are the principal topic of conversation on street corners, subways and other gathering places. Interest is also at its highest pitch in St. Louis, where the Cardinals, who have W'on twenty-seven of their last thirty-five games, are being compared to the Boston Braves of 1914. All box seats have been sold for the Pittsburgh series which winds up the season. The last game played at St. Louis, between the Reds and Cards, drew 35,000, a record for Sportsman j park. After being baseball crazy for weeks, the fans of Chicago today began to lose interest in the fastslipping Cubs, it was reported. Traffic has been blocked in the Loop daily while crowds watched the game on scoreboards or listened to a radio broadcast. Most of the crowds drifted away after the Cubs lost the first game to the Phillies Monday and applications for reservations are not onetenth as heavy as a year ago, according to President Bill Veeck. SCHMADEL VS. GAHIMER Carl Schmadel. Brightwood, will oppose Ownie Gahimer, Shelbyville welterweight, in the main event of next Friday night’s thin dime boxing show at Riverside. They will meet for six rounds. There will be six bouts on the card. The semiwindup for four rounds will bring Michigan Kid of Grand Rapids, against Pepper Martin, Indianapolis.
