IRISH, INDIANA SET FOR RIVALRY TILT

Notre Dame Starts to ‘Carry On for Rockne’ Inspired South Bend Eleven Begins First Season in 20 Years Without Late Coach Against Rejuvenated and Determined Crimson at Bloomington. By Timet Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 2.—Time-honored Hoosier rivals of the gridiron, Indiana and Notre Dame, will renew their struggles at Memorial stadium here Saturday in a tussle that is expected to draw a capacity crowd. It will mark Notre Dame’s first gridiron activities in twenty years without the services of the late Knute K. Rockne as player or coach. Eyes of the football world will be on the game to see how the Irish begin their campaign to “carry on for Rockne.” It will be an inspired South Bend team which will oppose the rejuvenated Indiana eleven. The Crimson, who stopped Ohio U.’s nineteengame winning streak last Saturday, will be out to repeat the performance against the twice-national champions, who also have piled up nineteen consecutive triumphs.

Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.—Well, I always say that one swallow does not make an Indian summer, nor necessarily the delirium tremens and while the Cardinals started this world series by retreating aggressively it does not mean that they are through yet. No matter what happens you can count on my ball club staying In there and fighting until at least four games are played. Or maybe five. In. the bright lexicon of modern youth there is no such word as skldoo. twenty-three for you. The tact Is that my ball club might very easily have beaten those A's of yours in the opening game Thursday if it had not been for one or two Important factors. X will edmlt that one of these was Mr. lefty Grove, who was very good when he had to be. and the other was the cast of eight players who supported Mr. Grove both In the field and at the bat. But there were still other vital confederations. (The presses will pause two minutes while the author dons the powdered grav wig and flowing robes of an expert.) As you know mv team got away to a two-run lead in the first Inning, and for a brief soell it looked as if the boys would blast Mr. Grove right out of there and make a Greco-Roman holiday of the occasion. , A young country boy bv the name or Derringer, making his first start In a world series, was doing the chucking and for two Innings he was as complete a mvstcrv as what happened that tragic night on the Penguin. He had tanned four of the first six men to face him and as Mr. Nick Altrock. sitting n the press box. remarked, it looked like a breeze for him.” Btarting the third the A’s got their first hit a high bounder bv Dykes which caromed off Andy High’s glove at third. I won't sav anything about High being a substitute third baser because the same kind of a ball might have got awav from Sparkv Adams, too. But in any event, was a luckv hit. 1 mean had it been an inch lower in its flight it would have been a simple out. Young Dlb Williams, the one new face In the A's picture, followed with a clean single to right and Dykes raced to third. Grove took a third strike. Had the rates been playing with the Cardinals instead of the A's this normally would have been the second out." Bishop, clean faced, fidgety, colorless but altogether efficient, was the next hitter, and slashed a grounder down the first base line. On the nlnv Dykes was run down between, third and home. . Continuing to Actionize this would have made the third out for my team with no scoring if the opening break had not gone against us. In this connection it is important to remember that before the inning ended the A's scored four runs and that was ouito enough to chill the tomatoes. . But don’t run away—l am not through experttng. With two down in this same inning Mule' Haas, who is so called because of his large, expressive ears, slummed a double to left, scoring Williams. This smash seemed to upset young Derringer and he passed Cochrane to fill the bases. Make note that the score at this point was still 2 to 1 in favor of the Cardinals. . .. „„ Simmons was the next batter. He worked the count to three and two. From the press coop it looked as If the next pitch might have been called either way. It was a tough decision for Old Bill Klein. A National League umpire, to make. He called it a ball. As I say. from where I sat. he might, with coual correctness, have called it a strike. But a ball he called it and Bishop came home with the tying run. Mocw-faced Jimmy Foxx then proceeded to lift the entire situation above the realm of speculation by cracking a single to center, on which both Haas and Cochrane scored. To all practical Intents and purposes that was the end of Derringer and the end of the first game. st u a ALMOST on the instant long lines of loyal Missourians were seen to leave the park and start lor the banks of the Mississippi, which rolls lazily past the town, a melancholy, turgid stream quietly beckoning to distressed souls. It Is true that later in the game the A's got two more runs on a homer into the left-field stands with one on by Simmons, but aside from the artistry of the performance and the extreme muscular violence Involved the homer had no more bearing on the outcome than Legs Diamond's opinion on child care. Taking it fore and aft. it was a rather vapid ball game, deficient both in consistency and earnest vigor, and at times dropping to the unkempt level of a Sunday afternoon conflict between the Bushwicks and the Cuban Giants. Gabby Street made an audacious move In starting a kid pitcher. It was even more audacious than the strategy Cornelius McGlllicuddy exercised against the Cubs two years ago when he started the supposedly outmoded and decrepit Howard Ehmke. For two brief innings Street looked like the smartest guy In baseball. But after the A's had batted around in the third it was evident that he had been carried awav by his ambition and imagination. Derringer is a brawny young giant with a gaudy windup and a high knee action which makes it appear as if he is always trying to knock himself out with a right knee cap to the Jaw. His technique consists wholly of closing his eves, besrlng down and biasing away. It Is a technique that will yield dividends for only a limited time. In his case Thursday two innings was the limit. Depending on the view point. Grove pitched an ordinary game or a great game. The Cardinals got twelve hits off him. And that's a lot of hits to make off the greatest pitcher in baseball. But they only made two runs, and both of these came in. the first inning before he had fully settled down. After that, with the exception of three lnnimra. he always got the first hitter out. To repeat, the raw boned Marylander w - as good when he had to be good and when be needed help In the pinches two voung men by the name of Simmons and Williams were not at all reluctant to ob!lo. Bui even so I still think my team has a chance. At the very least they have demonstrated that they can score on the A's and while that may not be much ft is something. For all I know It may even represent a moral victory.

Hope and tenseness reigned here on the eve of the crucial battle for both teams. Notre Dame scouts at the Ohio U.-Inidana game reported the Hayesmen to be “big, strong, tough and smart” and said: “Indiana didn’t show us a thing.” After stating the starting lineup against Notre Dame probably would be the same as last week, Coach Billy Hayes saief of the Irish: “Under the new staff, I am sure the memory of intimate contacts with Rockne will become a wonderful influence in guiding the destiny of future Notre Dame teams. To play Notre Dame, we feel the challenge of a real battle, with the odds against us, but we enter the battle with joy.” Coach Heartley Anderson’s chief worry is the replacement of Nick Lukats at full back. The former Gary prep star will be out for at least a month. Steve Banas of Hammond and George Melinkovich, two sophomore left half backs, are making an effort to “carry on” at full back.

Captain Ookie Miller PURDUE’S hopes of regaining Big Ten conference gridiron honors which they held in 1929 will receive their first test Saturday at Lafayette when Noble Kizer’s Boilermakers open the 1931 campaign against two strong foes. First will come Western Reserve, to be followed by Coe. Action will get under way at 1 p. m. Alcnough the two brilliant ball-carrying quartets developed by the former Notre Dame star are attracting much attention, Kizer’s husky line will play an important part in Purdue’s attack. Leading the 1931 edition of Boilermakers will be Captain Lewis (Ookie) Miller, giant center. Miller is a candidate for mythical honors this year. His consistent good passing, brilliant offensive play, and deadly, accurate tackling on defense make him one of the outstanding pivots in the nation.
