Talking It Over by joe williams
NEW YORK Oct. 31.—They had a get-together dinner at the Columbia Club. Lou Little, the Columbia football coach, wa* talking—and of all things—about football. "The Mr thin* to*waUh in football In Um next ten ;ctn it the lateral pass.” Lon said. "Oat of thia play will com * whatever now velopramta tbe yrldtron ■port la to are In tbli eomlnr deeade. a a a "Juat now the lateral pass is an attractive and yet very dangerous weauon. Asa matter of cold fact, very few of us coaches know *xactly how to manipulate it eo that it fits Into the standard offensive. 808 Tbe lateral paw at thia time greatly represents the forward paaa aa It appealed to coschee baek In 1906. They worked with It and Anally evolved the various types es aerial offensives you aee around tbe country this aeason. 808 “TJMDOTBALL may change along ■F these lines, but basloally it will remain the game of the smash off tackle. The sport was built on this stratagem and it will continue to grow on this slant. a b b “Football attack overbalanced defense with tbe growth of tbe forward pass, but right now the defense Is catching up. Tbe lateral may open It np again, but one thing 1a certain—this play can not ret any further protection from the rules. tt n a “One of the big needs In football right now Is more expert and accurate officiating. We have some fine officials, but the game is being changed so much, with so many different Interpretations that they can not catch up with the book. BBS “Tha new football rules and the new Interpretations should be issued In January. Thereafter, there ahould be bimonthly meetings of the officials In various sections of the country, so that they may become thoroughly conversant with every clause and every quirk.” a a a LITTLE made the interesting observation that a great professional eleven could beat a great college team by a couple of touchdowns. According to the Columbia coach, the average college star does not attain hte full development in football stature while he is on the varsity. If he continues to play after his graduation he reaches his crest two years later. ft tt tt He cited the case of Benny Friedman of Michigan, and the New Tork Giants, who is currently teaching Tale things about tbe forward pass. Little said that Friedman now was far superior to tbe player who called signals and threw the passes for Michigan.

FOUR BIG TEN CONTENDERS TO RISK TITLE HOPES
Undefeated Wildcats, Gophers in Top Clash Northwestern Favorite in First Meeting of Unbeaten Elevens; Purdue Tackles Illinois, Wisconsin Faces Ohio State in Other Conference Contests. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—Title hopes of four of the remaining five contenders for the Big Ten championship will be in the balance Saturday as the 1930 season enters its final month- The fifth aspirant, Michigan, has an open date and will not resume conference competition until Nov. 15. Northwestern and Minnesota, grouped with Michigan In the Big Ten’s unbeaten trio, meet at Minneapolis in the feature contest of the day and in the first clash of unbeaten conference clubs since the opening week of the season.
Lou Gehrig in Hospital Bv United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees first baseman, today was reported resting comfortably at St. Vincent’s hospital, where he underwent three operations Thursday morning. A chip of bone was removed from his left elbow, and the little finger on his right hand was broken and reset. Two cysts on the right ear were also removed. Gehrig is expected to remain in the hospital a week. Negro Boxers on Gadle Bill The semi-windup of the Chuck Wiggins-Walter Pickerd encounter billed for Cadle tabernacle next Thursday night is to feature two fast Negro fighters. Kid Slaughter, Terre Haute welterweight, has been matched over the eight-round route with Eddie Allen, Columbus, O.

The leading Mallory-Weiland team of the Universal League recorded another gain, being the only club to win three during Thursday night’s play, the Claman Lunch being the latest victim. 8. <ss S. Service, Blue Point Service. Standard Oil. Akers and Kav-O won two games from Blacker Chili. Auto Equipment. Coca-Cola. Outlaws and Emrlch Hardware during the other games. Maurer, the flashy lead-off of the Blue Point team, led the individual list with a 645 total on games of 225. 208 and 212. Hod Eller rolled 629: Weigel, 626; Vossen, 624; Hockensmith. 614. and Miller, 607. Charlie Stick keeps reaching the 600 mark with great regularity, his latest effort being a 634.

Purdue, which bases its titular hopes on the possibility of no team completing the season undefeated, meets Eob Zuppke’s fast improving Illinoii. team at Champaign, HI. Wisconsin endangers its already slim championship chance in a game with Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio. Northwestern, rated as the strongest team in the conference, is a favorite to defeat Minnesota, but expects a hard battle. Minnesota apparently does not possess sufficient offensive power to threaten Northwestern Illinois made a strong showing against Michigan last week, but has a light and inexperienced team and is conceded only an outside chance against Purdue. The Boilermakers’ powerful squad has everything a coach could ask Wisconsin’s highly touted “power house” dropped a 7 to 6 decision to Purdue last week and is in a mood which promises grief for the Buckeyes. Ohio State has a sophomore squad of great possibilities and may hand the Badgers a surprise. The Buckeyes have outgained every foe this season " The other three Big Ten teams play outside foes. lowa and Indiana are decided “underdogs” in their games with Detroit university and Notre Dame, respectively, and a victory for either would be a real upset. Chicago meets a traditional foe, Princeton, in the renewal of a competition which has produced some of the game’s greatest battles.

Frank Carideo
WHEN the all-America selectors get down to work at the end of the grid campaign, there is cue position they will not have much trouble in filling. Frank Carideo, Notre Dame’s quarter back and last season’s choice, has few rivals for the honors, for his smart direction of the Irish squad in important games, his accurate kicking and passing and stellar ball carrying and blocking, make him one of the outstanding stars of the country. He probably will see some action against Indiana at South Bend Saturday.
Illinois-Purdue Battle Tossup, Rockne Says; Picks Butler, Irish . ■ i —1 nrlfVi
BY KNUTE ROCKNE MEMBER, ALL AMERICA BOARD OF FOOTBALL (Reg. V. S. Patent Office) SOUTH BEND, Oct. 31.—Several years ago the clash between Chicago and Princeton was the outstanding contest of the day, if not of the year. Remember that great, 21 to 18 battle? When these two teams meet Saturday, however, it will just be another ball game. Stories are to the effect that the entrance requirements at both institutions and the professional excavations are so high that only the boys with the scholarly mind can get in and stay in. It is my guess that Chicago will take Princeton. The worst Michigan can do in the Big Ten is to get a tie with Northwestern. But Northwestern has a long row to hoe before this can take place. Saturday the Purple meet Minnesota, and with Bruder back they should take the Gophers, but not via the Gopher line. I pre-

Big Green Faces Yale Punting Duel Between Morton and Parker Looms as Feature. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—1 t looks as though there would be one of the greatest kicking contests of the football season up at New Haven Saturday, and that doesn’t mean the kind they have been holding as an aftermath, of the Yale-Army game, either. When Dartmouth and Yale meet in the Bowl before 70,000, memories of last week's unpleasantness should be wiped out by one of the hardest fought games of the year, featured by a punting duel between “Wild BUI” Morton and “Dud” Parker. These young men booted their respective Green and Eli elevens directly to touchdowns last Saturday, and are expected to play an important part in deciding Saturday’s winner. Word from Hanover today stated the Big Green squad was in the best condition of the season, and that Coach Cannell would have Morton, Wollf, Frigard and Sutton ready for back field duty. Coach Stevens of Yale evidently intends to throw a lot of passes at the invaders, and has stressed the aerial attack in this week’s workout. The starting Yale back field is uncertain, it not being known whether or not Booth wUI open the game at quarter.
dict that the Northwestern passes will turn the trick I pick Wisconsin to take Ohio State, while the Illinois-Purdue game is a tossup. Purdue played great ball to turn back the fighting Badgers last Saturday, but I doubt if they can reach that high pitch two Saturdays in succession. Zuppke’s green team is much better than their last two scores showed and by the time Illinois meets the Army they will be a dangerous foe for any one. Detroit has too strong a team for lowa and Notre Dame should take Indiana without putting on full pressure. In the Big Six, I look for Oklahoma to take lowa State. The Kansas Aggies should take Missouri, but Pitt will have just a little too much on the ball for Nebraska. The Pitt team will be encouraged by their fine showing in the second half against Notre Dame last Saturday, and I believe the momentum they gathered will pc a great help to

Even Tom Whelan, former popular Indianapolis utility pastimer, has been mentioned and given strong support. He has been a decided success as a minor league pilot.

dotted with some 200 games, but the potential thrillers are scarce. One of the grandest games of the 1930 season should come off at Lexington, Ky., where Alabama and Kentucky, undefeated and untied, and each seeking a Southern Conference title, will come to grips. Back in the east there’s a game of quite some moment at New Hayen. Dartmouth’s white Indians, which haven’t been beaten or tied, will play a Yale eleven which has lost to Georgia and which was tied by the Army. Fordham’s undefeated, untied and unscored-upon Rams will meet an improved West Virginia eleven team here in New York. The service elevens have what should be breathers, Army playing North Dakota, and Navy meeting West Virginia Wesleyan. The east’s leading contribution to the Intersectional phase will come off at Philadelphia in the Pennsylvania-Kansas meeting. Carnegie Tech and N. Y.

CHICAGO IS HOPEFUL B v United P”eta CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—A new fighting spirit is apparent on the Midway, and Chicago supporters are hopeful of a victory over Princeton Saturday. Coach Stagg apparently has decided upon Bimey, Paul Stagg. Knuddson and Kanne as a starting back field, and is drilling Wallace, Stackler, Mackenzie and Buzzell as reserves.

In the Missouri valley, I believe Drake will take Washington, but the Oklahoma Aggies will find the Haskell Indians more of a meal than they can digest. In Weller, a little 150-pound half back, the Indians have one of the finest all-round backs in the country.

FRANK WADDEY, outfielder drafted from Memphis by the St. Louis Browns, formerly played football with Georgia Tech and helped defeat California in the famous game in which Roy Regels, California center, toted the ball in the wrong direction after recovering a fumble.

The Cracker officials desire to test out attendance between day and night games before reaching definite conclusions. a tt THE mythical all-southern League team was named recently and Fred Eichrodt, Indianapolis, was the choice for right field. He performed with New Orleans and was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. Other fly chasers named were Weis, Birmingham, and Jeanes, Memphis. Rose, Little Rock, was named extra outfielder. Eichrodt led the league in triples with twenty-three. 000 JACK CLEMENTS, left-handed catcher in the way-back-when days, is employed during summer at the Philadelphia American League park at one of the gates. Clements caught two base thiefs once on the same play. He was catching against Pop Anson’s Chicago club and Billy Sunday was on first and George Gore on third. On the first pitch Sunday dashed for second and Gore was tagged out by Clements trying to steal home and Sunday kept running and Clements’ throw nailed him sliding for third. Clements caught for Philadelphia ten years and finished with St. Louis and says he wasn’t bothered in the capacity of southpaw catcher. 000 Connie Mack has several oldtimers working for him. One, George Washington Bradley, is 75 vears old, and John Streckler, 71, old shortstop. Bradley pitched a no-hit, no-run game for St. Louis against Hartford In 1876.

Hornsby, Cub Pilot, to Play Second Base Bruin Manager Denies Several Players Are Slated to Go; Few Changes Will Be Made Unless Positions Can Be Strengthened, He Says. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Frets BUS Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—Rogers Hornsby has nominated himself for two difficult tasks in his new r role as manager of the Chicago Cub 6. In addition to trying to give his boss, William Wrigley. the world baseball championship he has specified, Hornsby will attempt to stage a comeback as a player. Hornsby, w-ho Is here conferring with William Veeck, president of the Cubs, told the United Press today that he expected to play second base regularly next season. Handicapped early last year by a homed growth on his right heel and later laid up entirely with a broken left ankle, Hornsby had his worst season aince he became a major league regular. He played in forty-two games and batted. 308.
“I have completely recovered from my broken ankle and my heel ailment,” said Hornsby, “and I expect to play in 154 games next season and some exhibition games before the season.” “How much is that you’re going to bat, Rog?” queried Veeck, “about .400 isn’t it?’ “Well, I’ll be in there swinging and you can bet I won’t be the cripple I was last season at the plate.” Heft Field Is Open Hornsby is well pleased with the material he has assembled for the 1931 season, and said he doubted if the Cubs would make any more trades unless he could place a better man at some position than he has now. “There isn’t a player on the team slated to go as has been rumored,” said Hornsby. “Some of the players may not be bosom pals of mine, but as long as they give their best efforts out there on the field that’s all I care.” x Hornsby believes the addition of Jakie May and Lester Sweetland, southpaws, and Bob Smith, righthander, will strengthen the Cubs’ pitching staff considerably. About the only wide open job on the Cubs outside of the box, according to Hornsby, is left field. Two rookies, Johnny Moore, who batted .345 last season for Los Angeles, and Vincent Barton, who batted -336 for Baltimore, will vie with two veterans, Riggs Stephenson and Cliff Heathcote, for the left field position. Moore is highly thought of and may land the job. Bell at Third Lester Bell, Hornsby’s old pal when both were on the Cardinals and Braves together, will be the regular third baseman. “Bell was the best third baseman in the league during the last six weeks of the season after he had recovered from a sore arm,” said Hornsby. “He should be a much improved player next year without his arm trouble” Ray Schalk has been promoted from coach to Hornsby’s first lieutenant. The Cubs have many applications for the other coach’s job.
