THERE are vacancies for some new stars in the Hoosier collegiate hardwood hall of fame this year. Two of the most colorful pastimers in many seasons, who provided the typewriter pushers of this and other states with many sheets of good copy and several fine pieces of art, received their walking papers last June. Stretch Murphy, Purdues a 11-America center, who set the Big Ten scoring record in 1929, and Branch McCracken, Indiana’s brilliant pivot man, who shattered Long Johns mark in 1930, graduated from their respective institutions of higher learning to enter w’hat the editorial writers arc wont to call ‘the game of life.” B B B Both Murphy and McCracken are still lonnecled with the caee sport, however.

Cruising in Sportland j WITH EDDIE ASH

BASKING in major league headlines one spring and wearing the monkey suit of a minor league club the next will be the experience of George Fisher, the handsome fly chaser who used to patrol right field for Indianapolis. John MeGraw plucked Fisher from Buffalo after the ’29 compaign, shipped him to St. Louis in a deal last spring, and for several weeks George was the batting sensation of the majors and the hero of Cardinal fandom. Opposing teams couldn’t get him out. Later Fisher's name dropped out of Cardinal box scores except when he was called in the pinch role. He couldn’t field the sphere out in the gardens, and upset the St. Louis pitchers by fumbling in the tight spots. He will be with the Rochester Internationals next spring. tt B B tt tt B Eddie Montague.

Vvarstler’s first go-around in the big show r found him hitting exactly .185 when the curtain fell. Joe Sprinz, another Indian sent up last year, hit <mlj’ .178. Buck Crcuse had better luck, closing at .254, thirteen points better than Johnny Riddle, whom he displaced at Chicago.

Warner and Lieb Pick Trojans to Cop Fray Big Question in California Is Not Who Will Win, but How Many Points Will Jones’ Team Run Up: Notre Dame at Tucson, Ariz. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES. Dec. 2—Doubt seems to have overtaken Notre Dame supporters in this section, and the outlook today was that Southern California probably would enter Saturday's game favored to take the Irish. For the first time the pre-game odds today were down to even money and take your pick, with Southern California money very much in predominance. Until the Army pushed Notre Dame to win last week, 7-6, the Irish had been favorites at 10 to 8 and 10 to 6 in some quarters. Supremely confident of the strength of Southern California, Trojan backers were not even inclined to smile at Knute Rockne’s prediction that Notre Dame will lose.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Southern California will win,” says Rockne, “but by a close score. They won’t win by four touchdowns, as some are predicting.” Rockne, it is .ecalled, made a similar statement on the eve of the Carnegie Tech game, and the Irish went out and won, 21-7. Among others competent to judge, who have switched to Southern California after favoring Notre Dame earlier, are Pop Warner, Stanford coach, and Tom Lieb, who coached the Irish while Rockne was sick last season. “Before the Northwestern and Army games, I thought Notre Dame would win,” says Warner, “but now I believe those two games have taken too much out of Rockne’s team for it to be at top form. Nothing less than top form can stop Southern California.” Lieb, a former Notre Dame player, w r ho is now coaching Loyola out here, thinks Southern California will win because the Trojans have the stronger line. Lieb Praises Line “Southern California's line hasn’t a weak spot in it and will wear down Notre Dame’s line,” says Lieb. I “Jim Musick should rip the Notre Dame line to pieces as Russell of Northwestern did. Howard Jones’ cutback play through guard is going to be very hard to stop.” The big question out here seems to be not who will win, but how many points Southern California will run up on Notre Dame. It is surprising to see so many persons, including experts and others who don’t know whether Southern California is an educational institution or'just a section of the state, taking for granted the defeat of a team which hasn’t lost a football game in two years.

Strict secret practice has been Instituted for the Southern California squad this week.
