Through the grace of an open date last Saturday. Page has had two entire weeks in which to bolsier his eleven and revamp his offense.

Saluski and Opasik, sophomore half back stars, continue to improve and probably will be used considerably against the Boilermakers, while Edmonds, ;he husky full back, has recovered from injuries received in the Notre Dame tilt, and probably will get into the game. Brubaker, • Ross, Ashby and Hughes, all seniors, probably will compose the starting back field, while Dauer and Hoover, juniors, may break into the game.

'Cruising in Sportland

WITH EDDIE ASII WHILE in Indianapolis last week doing a vaudeville turn at the Lyric theater, Burldgh Grimes, St. Louis Cardinal mpund ace. talked some more of his ambitions and said one was to surpass the National League victory mark of 373 posted by Grover Cleveland Alexander. Grimes has amassed 312 triumphs and believes he is good for five more years in the majors. He has set twenty as his aim in 1931, but naturally expects tq better that figure if the Cardinals get away to a flying start. Burleigh is the flinger who caused moaning on the part of Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh owner, who sold him to Boston rather than to a pennant contender, but Boston turned around and sold him to St. Louis. tt n b n a Del Bissonette, Brooklyn first sacker, has gained twelve pounds and promises to have a big season in 1931. He has been handicapped by sickness and operations, but managed to bat .335 the last season despite the obstacles. He signed a 1931 contract recently after a hunting trip in Maine and soon will join Dazzy Vance in the south for more outdoor exercise during the remainder of the off-season. He was “beaned” by Sugar Swcetland in 1929 and that and other ailments held him back.

tt a tt A LOT of the so-called “color" attached to the Notre Dame : football machine disappears with ! the withdrawal of Jumping Joe j Salvoldi, smashing full back, famil- ! iarly known as the “People’s Choice.” IHe was a crowd pleaser if there ever was one, and caught the eye and admiration of everybody as he lugged the leather against the best of opposition. Stalwart and bull-like, he hit hard and furthermore was difficult to pull down in the open, owing to his powerful legs and bouncing stride. It’s just too bad. u tt e Notre Dame has three more games of tremendous importance, with j Northwestern, Army and Southern California, and what the Salvoldi incident will do to the morale of the Irish squad is hard to contemplate. Knute Rockne will be put to one more great test. a a tt Replacing jumping Joe will be Moon Mullins, regular, and Dan Hanley, a lad from Butte, Mont. He has been on the squad all season, but saw no game action until last Saturday against Drake. He attended Central high school in Butte and is described as age 21, weight 195, height 6 feet 1% inches. Evi- ! dently he is more than a wisp. a a Other Notre Dame full backs on hand are third stringers Howard and Staab, but it’s a dead cinch j Savoldi’s punch and experience will ;be missed. It is reported Rockne was unable to use Hanley before the Drake contest because the youth j was having difficulty with his ; studies and was forced to hurdle the j mid-term examinations before the faculty would permit him to play.

The Army football team today had lost one of its best back field stars through the dropping of Cy Letzelter, former Carnegie Tech star, from the squad because in the opinion of authorities at West Point the cadet in question was over the age limit of 22 when admitted to the military academy.

The University of California students’ council informed the Trojan undergraduate body that it had officially censured Arthur Arlett, editor of the Daily Californian, who started the controversy with a bitter editorial against the southerner*. Southern California formally accepted the apology at a meeting on Tuesday night, but only after a heated discussion. Arlett in his editorials accused U. S.

Emerson to Face Mishawaka t for Northern Prep Honors

A toss of a coin today eliminated Froebel high school of Gary from a chance to repeat as winner of the state mythical high school football championship. Instead, Emerson of Gary, winner of the toss, will represent the western division of the northern Indiana conference against Mishawaka, undisputed eastern division victor, in a game for the conference title at Gary next Saturday. Plans call for a game between the winner of the Emerson-Mishawaka game and Logansport’s undefeated and untied eleven on Thanksgiving day or Saturday, Nov. 29. Froebel passed from apparent ■winner of the western division to an outside position by two breaks in luck. Mathematically the winner of the western division based on games played after Get. 1, Froebel appeared a safe winner. Emerson officials raised the protest that they played Whiting Sept. 20 because the conference schedule committee assigned them that game. They charged either the rules of the conference were being violated or the schedule committee was in error?* A meeting of principals decided Emerson’s game with Whiting should count as a win. giving Emerson a tie with Froebel for division honors, Froebel first demanded to play Emerson. The element of time arose and the two Gary coaches, John Kyle of Froebel and Art Rolfe of Emerson agreed on the plan of tossing the coin. Rolfe won, but the provision Was inserted that which-

More speed, both in offense and defense, was the goal of Coach Harry Bell as he drove his Bulldogs through another workout in preparation for the invasion of Haskell Indians here Saturday for the Blue home-coming tilt. Most of the work this week has been devoted to line play, strengthening the defense against the brilliant runs of Weller and Charles, speedy Haskell backs. Bell has ! stated his backs are in top condition and with more speed in the line, should be able to give their best performance of the season. Lack of reserve material has hampered the Bulldogs in recent tilts, and Bell also has devoted considerable time to uncovering replacements for his regulars.

Traditional Rivalry Games Top Big Ten Grid Program

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—Four additional rivalries—three of them older than the western conference itself—make Saturday’s Big Ten football schedule one of the most attractive of the entire season. Only one game, Michigan vs. Chicago, will have any bearing on the 1930 championship, but each of the contests boasts a background rich in tradition. The games, with starting dates of the series between the rivals follow: Purdue vs. Indiana. 1891. Michigan vs. Chicago. 1892. Wisconsin vs. Minnesota, 1895. Ohio State vs. Illinois. 1904. To an outsider, the MichiganChicago game is worthy of note only because Michigan will be bidding for its fifth successive Big Ten victory and a shaijp of the 1930 title, and because it is one of the west’s

Rockne Says Wildcats* Power May Beat Irish w Knute Believes Notre Dame Will Lead at Half, but May Falter in Final Periods: Loss of Savoldi Hurts Hoosiers, He Claims. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Nov. 19.—Notre Dame ahead at half time, and then a bruising battle through the final periods to protect its lead. That's Knute Rockne’s version of the Notre-Dame-Northwestem football game Saturday as forecast today to the United Press. “With Joe Savoldi in there,” said Rockne, “we would have won by a touchdown or two. But with Savoldi out, we might not be able to stave off their powerful attack in that final half. I think we can get out in front but I don’t know how long we’ll be able to stay there. Northwestern has power enough to wear most any team down. That’s how they beat Wisconsin. They may do us the same way.”

When Rockne scouted the North-western-Wisconsin game last week, it was the first time since 1926 that he had personally looked over a team in action before a game with his team. Although Rockne would not flatly say so, he intimated to the writer that he believes he has found a vulnerable spot in the Northwestern team. Either Frank Baker, Northwestern’s ace end, or Wade Woodworth, the spectacular guard, may be the player Rockne observed at fault against Wisconsin. It was Woodworth who failed to block when Greg Kabat. Wisconsin guard, smashed through the Northwestern line and blocked a kick which enabled Wisconsin to get a 7-to-0 lead over the Wildcats. As for Baker, Rockne smiled at mention of his name and said: “I'll tell you about him Saturday night.” “No team using the Warner system has ever beaten us,” said Rockne, “but we have been beaten by teams using much inferior systems, which we are not bragging about.” Rockne continued to stress the loss of Savoldi on the ground that it was the Three Oaks (Mich.) Italian who demoralized the opposition by his hard hitting. “When Savoldi hit ’em he jarred ’em to their eye-teeth,” said Rockne, “and after they had tackled him a few times they weren’t so anxious to come tearing in, making it easier for Schwartz, Brill and the other backs to get away.” Hanley Slams Rockne By United Press EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 19.—‘1 don’t see any excuse for Rockne and the Notre Dame supporters to get out the ‘crying towel’ just because

few “charity” games. To alumni of the two schools of the period preceding 1910 the game is the one big battle of the year. This year Chicago apparently has no chance for victory. Another famous rivalry will be renewed at Champaign, when Ohio State and Illinois battle for “IlliBuck,” turtle mascot of the game. Ohio State apparently has the edge. The “Old Oaken Bucket” will be at stake when Purdue and Indiana meet for the twenty-third time. The competition between these two state rivals is one of the high spots of western football history. Wisconsin and Minnesota annually display their best football against each other. This year Wisconsin is a slight favorite. Even the two non-conference games—Notre Dame vs. Northwestern, and lowa vs. Nebraska—boast traditional backgrounds. lowa first met Nebraska in 1896 and the schools were frequent foes until 1919. Northwestern and Notre Dame inaugurated football competition in' 1899 and have met on eight occasions, with four of their battles being played during the past six years.
