Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Oct. 10. The shouting and the tumult attendant upon the world series has barely died down yet the football season In many parts of the country is entering upon the third week of its campaign. It’s getting so that it’s difficult to tell where one sports eseason ends and another begins. a a a Generally, tbil la loffically determined by •eaeonal rhanae nl weather. Baseball I* a htcb temperature apart. Football traditionally ealla for bltlnr winds and the stinrlnr spit-spat of snow and sleet. a a a On this basts, no one can say that baseball with respect to the recent series intruded on tbv atmospheric rights of football. Except for one came the whole earlea was staged under a warming Indian rummer kv. Ideal for baseball, but quit* unsuitable for football. a a a rrsHIS may have been due to an m. unusually gracious mood on the part of the elements. Or it may indicate that the calendar rightfully belongs to baseball up to and through the first week In October. At any rate there was nothing In the early stages of the football season possessing sufficient Importance or interest to overshadow the series as a widespread emotional hysteria. a a a At least, thr newsppr—t thosr newspapers which are fumbling around with thr Idealistic thought that profeenional aports should not be featured — found It sound business to keep the spotlight of the linotypes foeueed on the A'* and the Cards. With • great many profound but practical publishers circulation figures still come before Individual whims and tentative ideals. a a a One reason there is a conflict between baseball and football is that most colleges have lengthened their schedules. Where in the past five or six games made >lO ihe card now eight, nine or ten opponents are scheduled. a a a Since none of the games la played to a free gate. It must be assumed that the heavy schedules are not Inspired wholly hr any academic orgy to give the young men a lot of exercise. I think this thought ought to be kept In nlnd when criticism Is made that the baseball people are greedy monopolists and tbat they shonld and their season earlier so as to rive the coheres a clear road to oublic fancy. a a a TRUE, most of the early season college games are little more than artistic burlesques, in which a greatly superior team will meet an opponent with little or no rating, and less skill. The excuse for ached* uling such games is plausible enough. The coach wants to take a look at his new material under what Is laughlingly called fire. At the same time he does not care to run the risk of a defeat, and perhaps you can’t blame him for that, athletic committees and old grads being what they are. a a a Nevertheless, it would be a much more sporting thing if the major teams scheduled opponents somewhat nearer their ewn ralibre from the start. I was chatting with a nationally known football official coming back on the train from Philadelphia Thursday and he agreed that the current practice of booking set up games was not only unfair but it was seldom that anything informative or helpful ever tine out of it. a a a “The big fellows would get a much more spirited workout against their own scrubs.” he contended. "And as for the little fellows. thev frequently come out of these games so battered and crippled that they are never able to swing back Into any sort of stride, granted that thev have a stride to begin with. In the end neither team has gained anything.” a a a Another unflattering item in connection with set-up games is the tabulating of scores which are later exploited to show what a terrific offense the major team owns. Aa If these meant anything. Why shouldn't a big powerful eleven run roughshod over a bush league squad? . a a a NOTRE DAME opened its season against Southern Methodists—one of the best teams in the south—and squeezed through with a sevenpoint victory, 20-14. There was more real merit in that tight score than in all the 70-0 and 99-0 scores that were written into the records by other major teams on the same afternoon. six “riverside scraps Six bouts calling for twenty-six rounds will make up the “thin dime’’ fistic offering at Riverside tonight, starting at 8:30.

NAVY OPPOSES NOTRE DAME IN DEDICATION TILT

55,000 Fans to See Intersectional Classic Capacity Crowd Expected at SBOO,OOO Bowl; Two Regulars, Mullins, Leahy, on Sidelines; Donoghue Also on Hospital List. Bv Timet Kpecidl NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct. 10. —With at least two of his regulars definitely relegated to the sidelines for Saturday’s colorful mtersectional classic with Navy, Coach Knute Rockne planned to send his Notre Dame squad through a brief workout this afternoon in the new SBOO,OOO Irish stadium, which will be dedicated Saturday. A light dummy offensive and defensive scrimmage composed Thursday's workout, and the same was on today’s card. Joe Savoldi continued to work at full back In the absence of Larry Mullins, who was not in uniform.

Rockne’s hopes that Mullins would be able to play Saturday apparently are blasted, for Mullins has not worked this week against Navy plays and will not be prepared If he does get Into the contest. Dick Donoghue, Injured right tackle, alternated with Joe Kurth, husky sophomore flash, and it is a who will start in this position. A1 Culver was at left tackle and Frank Leahy, the regular, was on crutches on the sidelines. A last minute rush of ticket buyers practically assured a sellout Saturday If good weather continues, according to Arthur Haley, business manager, who said today that just a few thousand pasteboards were left for the game. The new stadium will seat 55,000 persons. Final details have been made for tonight’s dedication ceremony. A campus parade, lasting nearly an hour, will start the festivities after a banquet In the school dining hall. The Navy team arrived this morning and went to the Chain o’ Lakes Country Club, where they are staying. Majors and Big Minors Talk Draft B Oct. 10.—Baseball Commissioner Landis, Connie Mack, officials of the two big leagues, big minor league executives and other prominent baseball men were in session here today endeavoring to iron out the player draft problem. The majors want the universal draft, but the big minors are holding out for the modified draft that has been in effect for several years. Under the universal draft any player would be eligible to be taken up, while under the modified system draft eligibles are limited to flayers who have had big league trials. Buckeyes on Hand for Tilt Bn T'nltrd Press EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 10.—Ohio State’s Buckeyes arrived at Evanston today for Saturday’s featured Big Ten game with Northwestern. The Buckeyes won the only conference game played last week and hope to retain first place by defeating the Big Ten favorites Saturday. With the return of injured stars both squads have full strength avalllable for the game. Both Ohio State and Northwestern will hold brief signal drills in Dyche stadium today. STAGG~TO USE PASSES Bv United Press CHICAGO. Oct. 10.—A new injury to Captain Errett Van Nice, which may prevent him from starting against Wisconsin, today lessened Chicago’s hopes of victory in Saturday’s Big Ten opener. The Maroons completed practice Thursday with a dummy offensive scrimmage. Coach Stagg has thrown caution to the winds and will gamble his chances on a deceptive and unorthodox passing attack.

Roy Wallace in Series of Legion Bouts Roy Wallace’s ten-round main go with Len Darcy, Grand Rapids, at the Armory Tuesday night will be the first of a series of Wallace appearances in the Legion ring, according to Armory officials. It Is said it is Wallace’s plan to lead up to a match with Walter Pickerd, local heavyweight. Darcy gave Pickerd a hard fight at Harrison this summer and Wallace will not be caught napping Tuesday when he takes on the Wolverine. He Is working out daily at the Victory gym. East and Prospect streets. Another feature on the Tuesday card will be a special ten-rounder between Jackie Pin-vis, Kokomo welterweight, and Roy Mitchell, St. Louis. Thirty-six rounds of boxing will constitute the Tuesday card.

been the winners or close contenders the past few years will be taking part in a state championship tournament of conferences and not in the annual I. H. S. A. A. meet. Recently, organizers laid the groundwork for the formation of the fourth big conference of the state, to include several strong teams in the south central part of the state. It is said there is no desire on the part of the members of these conferences to break away from the I. H, S. A. A. as far as eligibility rules, track meets, gymnastic tournaments and such are concerned. But it seems that the big schools of the state resent the rule limiting the season to eighteen games and also the three-week grind of the annual state tournament. With four conferences, the organizers plan that each year the winner and runner-up of each of these conferences come to Indianapolis and settle the state conference championship. Naturally, they will claim the state title. It is said several other conferences are in the making. Other conferences would be taken into the conference championship final meet, we are told, and the entire affair ended in one week, eliminating the three-week grind of the present system. That would give teams having big i financial obligations connected with new gyms a chance to play more games at home. There are many problems ahead for the organizers. One is to find a place in Indianapolis to play. The I. H. S. A. A. is reported to have the fleldhouse leased with an option of ten years. Also it is said that not all members of the present four conferences favor dropping out of the I. H. S. A. A. tournament. Loughran and Stribling Sign Bv Ignited Press PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.—Tommy -Loughran, retired light heavyweight champion, has been signed to meet W. L.

Phil Stars in Demand O’Doul, Thompson Booked for Robins for Four Players and Cash. B Oct. 10.—Finishing in the National League cellar with a flock of hard hitters has led to more than one "proposition” from other clubs to the Phillies of Burt Shotton for talent and a Lefty O'Doul and Fresco Thompson deal with Brooklyn may be the first of a series of transactioas Involving the tailenders. No official announcement has been Issued regarding the transfer of O’Doul and Thompson, but O’Doul declares he’s going to the Robins, and according to a report in baseball circles today, Owner Baker will receive for Lefty and Fresco four players and $25,000. Brooklyn pastimers slated to come here are Infielders Jake Flowers and Gordon Slade. Outfielder Harvey Hendrick and Pitcher Ray Moss. Second Baseman Thompson had a poor season with the Phils compared with previous years. Rogers Hornsby, new manager of the Cubs, and President Veek conferred with Owner Baker here Thursday and it is believed they sounded out the Phil boss on the slugging Chuck Klein and Pinkey Whitney, star third sacker. The Phillies have acquired Eddie Roetz, third baseman, from Topefca, where he batted. 313. He was especially noteworthy as a distance hitter and will be given a thorough trial. His home is in Philly. Franklin and Greyhounds in Clash Tonight Franklin college gridders invade the illuminated field at University Heights tonight to battle Coach Good’s Indiana Central Greyhounds, starting at 8, and both teams will be well supported with rooting sections.

World Series Result Shows Difficulty of Defeating A’s

BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—When a world series is over, it is always interesting to look back on the advance dope and compare what happened with what you thought should happen. With the 1930 series a thing ~ of the past and all the heroes nominated. it is timely 4b/*? t° see how the IbBPPw?- teams lived up to predictions, or per- §' haps failed. Like many others 11 , who picked the -V > Athletics to win. I based my conciu- • I sion on two great TSfe* -< pitchers, a trio of - powerful hitters and a tight defense. It was The Babe pointed out that the A’s had a habit of winning ball games even when they were not making a lot of hits. They carried the habit through the series and won four of the six games while hitting about .200. The answer is that they make scoring so tough for the other fellows that they don’t need a lot of runs to win. Take those three games they p&yed in St. Louis. In three days, they scored only three times, yet they won one game and were in a hard fight for another down to the final putout. I couldn’t see when the battle started how any team figured to win a series of games from a club which had Lefty Grove and George Eamshaw to do most of the pitching. Grove pitched the entire first and fourth games. Earnshaw went the full distance in the second and sixth, and both of them worked in the fifth. Only in the third game did Connie Mack fail to call on one or both of hisjices. Naturally, I did not expect to see such marvelous pitching as Earnshaw delivered with twaity-two runless innings in succession and only two runs in twenty-five in-

Two Tilts Top Card Yale Tackles Georgia and Carnegie Tech Plays Georgia Tech. BY HENRY M’LEMORX rotted Pr SUff Gerremondeot NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—With baseball tucked away in lilacs and lavender until another spring, eastern football takes on a decidedly business-like air this week-end, with two first-class intersectional games on the books. In addition to the cross-country tiffs, several worthy scraps a*e scheduled between intra-sectional rivals, notably Lafayette and Colgate at Hamilton, N. Y., and New York university and Villanova here in the Yankee Stadium. But it Is the intersectional games, Involving two of the south’s major elevens and two of the east's finest, that are holding the football spotlight along the Atlantic seaboard this week. The first, and probably the best, of these Is the Georgla-Yale game at New Haven. The second, and a rip-snorter In itself, is the Georgia Tech-Carnegie Tech battle of engineering brawn at Pittsburgh. . At this writing, Yale and Carnegie are slight favorites—Yale because of a wealth of brilliant back field talent headed by the one and only Albie Booth, and Carnegie because of well-balanced strength In both offense and defense. FRIEDMAN’S PASSES WIN Bv United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 10. Benny Friedman’s accurate passes gave the New York Giants a 6 to 0 victory over the Milwaukee Badgers in a night professional football game played Thursday.

nlngs. But I did believe he would be too much for the Cardinals. Grove, too, figured to be too much for the Cardinals and he certainly lived up to the advance dope of those who picked the A’s to win. A team with either a Grove or an Eamshaw would figure to have a great advantage. A team with both could hardly lose in a series. Concentrated Punch The St. Louis pitchers gave the A’s a lot more trouble than I believed they would, but they failed where their work was most important. They could not tame the punch of the A s batting attack. In the order of appearance at the plate it reads Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx, but in the power of attack Simmons belongs in front. A1 battled all year for the batting leadership in our league and I figured he would not be stopped by the Cardinals’ notching. He came through with the highest total of any of the players who took part in every game. Just look at what this slugging trio collected. Their nineteen hits included five home runs, a triple, five doubles and eight singles. There’s the power of attack, and when you pair such hitting with extra high-grade pitching there is only one answer. Cards Lack Distance The three players hitting in the same important positions in the St. Louis batting order got only twelve hits and the longest of these went for two bases. In other words, the A’s had all the pitching strength they needed i and their hitting, where it counted most, was powerful. The defense yielded only twelve runs in six games, thus permitting the A’s to win, despite poor hitting as a team. But that is an old story in our league. .
