Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK, Oct. 17.—1 think it * * S P re^y swell the way the lootball teams are responding to Owen D. Young’s call for benefit games. Just about a year ago I proposed the same plan but it didn't Eet to first base. Possibly this was hue to the fact that I have always been wrong. At anv rate at the time it was mv •ueeestlon that it would be a good idea " the various colleges got together and Dlavcd games for the unemployed. I realIzed that at best this was Just a gesture, but it seemed to me that it might work out to be a happy gesture. I mean colleges are not in iotball for money—not in the sense that professional promoters are anyway. So it was mv thought that if the colleges played a specified game for the jobless it would be a sporting thing. At the very *lcast it w'as as sound a hroposal as anybody else had at the time. Certainly it meant some money for a general fund. For the past several years I have been reading statements by the best brains of the country that prosperity is Just around the corner and that better times are sure to come. Very likely this is true, but in the meantime 1 see no reason why the various charity funds should not be encouraged. Admittedly employment is most to be desired, but lacking that some sort of a helping hand is better than nothing. There seems to be a sentiment in some circles that, in a situation of this nature the polleges should not be asked to participate. Z beg to ask whv not? A day or so ago. Vale disclosed that the football games had drawn more than a million dollars and that this money paid for the enttre athletic program at New Haven. I think it is safe to assume that this is typical of all the large universities. tt a a FOR better or worse, football has become a tremendous thing in undergraduate life. Offhand, I would say that Albie Booth is the best known man at Yale and that Mai Stevens, the head coach, is the next best known. Whether this is as It should be X have my doubts. But from the standpoint of academic, neither Yale nor any other university sells its athletic program to a prospective student. The tuition is based wholly on scholarly offerings. Football and other sports supposedly go with it, a sort of sprinkling of parsley on brains and eggs. Conceding that sports have grown beyond the wishes and control of the educators, the fact, remains that sports have, as a side line, developed into a million dollar business. So, then, when a national crisis develops, I fail to see where it entails any great sacrifice on the part of the educators to divert a part of this xevenue to a national need. To repeat. I think it is swell the way practically all of the colleges have fallen In line with Mr. Young’s idea. X think it would have been sweller still —if there is such a phrase—if they had done as much without waiting for Mr. Young—or even Williams—to suggest it. Harvard has been one of the important universities that has seen fit to stand aloof. It has been said that you can always count on Harvard being different. In this instance Harvard at least is consistent. Whether Harvard is right is a question. Personally, I think Harvard or any other university that takes a similar stand is all wrong. I have been reading the newspapers for a great number of years and I do not recall that Harvard has ever refused a Harkness gift—and the Hatkness gifts have added materially to the advance of culture and education in this country. Whether it is more humane to emphasize culture an deducation than to relieve suffering is something which Harvard seems resolved to decide for itself, and in its ewn wav. I promise not to sermonize on this subject again. To begin with it is entirely too big for me to play with in even a meager way. But I do want to give a cheer for the colleges that have pigeonholed traditions and backgrounds. In times such as this I think everybody will agree that every little bit helps.

‘Too Short!’ Bit United Press Kansas city, mo., oct. 17.—The late Knute Rockne’s two sons, William and Knute Jr., heard his voice again Friday night. The sons of Rockne, students in the Pembroke school here, were guests of a showing of the motion picture, ‘"The Spirit of Notre Dame.” Rockne's voice, from a recording, is heard from the screen addressing the players. Only the listening team is seen. •'lt's great,” was the only comment of William, the older of the boys. "But it's too short.”

Valpo Team Swamps I. C. Valparaiso college football team remained undefeated today. The northern eleven down Indiana Central. 43 to 0 under the lights of the University Heights Friday night. Valparaiso commanded the situation from the start and scored in each quarter. Coach Good's men were not equal to the task of halting the Valpo men once they got the ball. The visitors’ aerial attack was perfect, ■with five complete passes out of as many attempts. Valparaiso, unscored on this season, used their entire squad and seven different men contributed to the scoring column. Diamond Stars Go to Orient B'i Timet Special SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Oct. 16. —Fourteen major and minor league diamond stars left today for the Orient.

MANUAL, WASHINGTON AND RIPPLE GRID WINNERS

Red Eleven Undefeated Tech Only Local Loser in Four Prep Games Friday. BY DICK MILLER Three triumphs and a two-point | loss were the results of four local ! prep grid encounters here Friday, i Manual’s veteran pastimers conj tinued their quest of an undefeated record by battling out a 13 to 0 victory over a stubborn Southport eleven at the southside field. Washington had an easy foe for home-coming opposition, snowing under Noblesville with a 69 to 0 count. Broad Ripple entinued its impressive showing by thumping a powerful Westfield team, 19 to 6. Tech i was the only capital city loser of | the day, bowing to Muncie’s Bear- ! cats by the margin of a safety, 9 to 7. Tech Play Listless John Mueller’s east siders played listless offense in the first half and Muncie had the best of the argument all the way. A Tech fumble on the 35-yard line paved the way for Bartlett to pass to Ottinger, who carried the ball to the 5-yard line. Ottinger plunged over and G. Bartlett smashed across with the extra point. The gun stopped a Tech drive that followed. In the second half Tech showed life and carried the ball to the one yard line, but a great bit of defense by the Muncie forwards drove the Tech ball carriers back. Muncie took the ball and punted out of danger. Muncie punted to the three yard line. A bad pass from center to Dischinger, Tech back, sent in to punt, sent the ball out of the end zone for a safety. Just before the game ended Tech opened up with passes and Dischinger leaped high into the air to tafle a heave from Masarachia for a j touchdown. Dine plunged for the extra point. Ripple Shows Power Ed Deiderich’s Broad Ripple eleven which looked strong at the opening of the season seemed to strike their stride and beat Westfield, 19 to 6. Led by Murbarger, who scored in the first and second quarters and added one extra point, the Ripple team paced the strong Westfield eleven, 13 to 0, at the half, j Everson hit the line for a touch- j down in the third quarter. Westfield W'as able to score in the last period w'hen Stanley drove through the line. After holding Manual even in the first qaurter, Southport saw Welton the flashy Manual half, twist and dash through their secondary for a forty-yard touchdown run before the half ended. Coach Harry Painter sent in reserves in the second half with his team showing superiority, but lacking scoring punch. Guleff, a sub, carted the oval over and Welton added the extra point with a buck, making the 1 final score 13 to 0, Manual. Washington scored 49 points in the first half against Noblesville. Every bal carrier seemed able to score for the west siders. Touchdown summary reveals Cherry, 2Warren, 2; Howard, 2; Eastwood, 2; Hedge and McDonald, 1 each.

with this winter and next summer. Right now the game boasts as fine a crop of heavyweight fighters as it has in the last ten years. More than a dozen topnotch big fellows are ready to answer Johnston’s call. Heading the list of big men are Schmeling, the champion; Sharkey, who has sworn off being a prima donna and decided to get to work in a serious way; Jack Dempsey, the greatest drawing card of al ltime; Primo Camera, Stribling, those sensational slugging youngsters; Steve Hamas, Charley Retzlaff and Stanley Poreda, the Tommy Loughran, the hard-hitting and willing Ernie Schaaf, Campoio, Griffiths and Paulino. '* This large and imposing group of heavyweights is a source of much ioy to Johnston, for like Rickard, James joy likes his fighters big! He's not quite as prejudiced against the little 'uns as Tex, who had absolutely no use for any fighter weighing under 175. But heavyweights are his chief interest, and Heavyweights will receive the major share of his attention. Johnston will stage his first show on Nov. 13 when he will pit the dumb, but strong Paulino, against the strong, but dumb earners. If Johnston doesn’t succeed i< won’t be because he hasn’t a boxing background. The man has been eating .sleeping, breathing and talking fights for the last twentyfive years and knows just about all the answers. He is not likely to be outwitted by any of his competitors, for the man is shrewdness personified.

Bulldogs Triumph Butler Shows Power in / Trouncing Louisville, 61 to 6. With a smooth-functioning offense that clicked even with reserves in the lineup, Butler gridders snowed Louisville university eleven beneath an avalanche of touchdowns at the north side bowl Friday to win, 61 to 6. Coach Harry Bell’s first and second-string warriors were entirely too strong for the invaders, and it was two long passes, well tossed by Shell and both captured by Blott, against a Butler reserve back field, that- netted the invaders their lone mraker late in the first half. Led by Captain Kenny Booz, who turned in some beautiful runs, the Bulldogs scored in the first few minutes. aßber and Booz carried the oval to the goal again, Booz scoring his second touchdown. Conrad hung up thet third touchdown in the second quarter and a reserve back field, directed by Zimmerman, carreid the ball down, Zimmerman scoring just before the half ended. Booz added one point after touchdown and Compton one. Stewart and Knock figured in scoring the next Blue marker and before the game ended. Booz had scored two more touchdowns after brilliant runs and Zimmerman and j Ray one each. Booz kicked five j straight points after touchdowns, making it a perfect 35 points for the half. The Butler line played well ”in all combinations an only occasional laxness permitted Louisville to gain. The regular Blue back field put up a stiff pass defense and Booz ran one intercepted heave back for a touchdown. The entire Butler team showed improvement over a week ago when they trounced Ball State, 34 to 0.

Yale Conceded Edge Over Chicago by Maroon Pilot

BY A. A. STAGG University of Chicago Coach CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—For the first time in football history. Yale is playing beyond the Allegheny Mountains. Because of this epoch-making fact and because of Yale's tremendous prestige in athletics, the YaleChicago game Saturday dramatically becomes the most important intersectional game of the season. People familiar with the history of American football will concede that Yale has been the most consistently outstanding institution in the history of the game. Due to a nonscouting agreement, I confess that with the exception of Captain Albie Booth, I do not know another Yale player, and I presume Coach Mai Stevens of the Bulldogs is equally ignorant about the Chicago players. Realizing Chicago’s poverty in material, I naturally am predisposed to give Yale the edge over Chicago, but while doing so I can not feel that Yale is going to run wild with the game. The results of Chicago’s contests with Princeton in 1921 and 1922 and again in 1929 and 1930

—Stove League Chatter— BY EDDIE ASH

STANLEY HACK, ex-bank clerk, purchased by the Chicago Cubs from Sacramento for $50,000 and one player, collected 232 hits in the' Coast League this year and his record indicates he will make a strong bid to stick in the majors on his first try. He was in 164 games and batted .352, his blows including 37 doubles, 11 triples, and 2 homers. Eighteen was his base theft total. Altogether, the young man performed exceedingly well for his first year in league ball. Hack is th youngster who caused President Leyis Moreing of Saacramento to shout THERE IS a Santa Claus. Last spring Stanley was just one of many bank tellers, playing amateur ball on the side. Sacramento needed a third sacker and Hack was induced to take two weeks off from his work to try his diamond skill with the home-town leaguers. The club) went on the road and in two weeks Hack wired his resignation to the bank. He had made good. tt tt tt In a short while big league scouts were on Hack's trail and at one time Sacramento asked $75,000 for the lad whom it got for small change and rolls and coffee, more or less. The price frightened nearly all big league clubs, but the Cubs kept negotiations open and finally landed the vouth for fiftv grand and an infielder. Miracles still are happening in baseball. Ask the Sacramento owner. Johnny Corriden. former Indianapolis manager, now scouting for the Cubs, recommended the purchase of Hack. tt tt it OSCAR ECKHARDT, outfielder who failed to make the grade with Detroit last spring, topped the Coast Leaguee regulars in batting this year, socking the spheree for .366. He gathered 275 hits in 185 games, including 53 doubles, 11 triples and seven homers. tt n Frank Crosetti, Pacific Coast loop short stop who will be with the New York Yankees next season, turned in a swat average of .345 for the 1931 campaign. He saw action in 183 games. Frank rapped out forty-five doubles, fourteen triples and five homers. He stole twenty-two bases. New York purchased Crosetti in 1930 and permitted him to remain in the big minors another year. tt a a Emil Yde. who was a winning pitcher and a red hot pinch-hitter when with Indianaoo.is .has not lost the gift of finding ; the safe spots with the bludgeon. Pitch- 1 ing and pinch hitting for Hollywood this 1 season Yde piled up a stick figure of .383. seeing service as hurler or swatter in fiftytwo games. On the mound he won fourteen games and lost 16. Fov Frazier, another former Indian, batted .329 in the Coast circuit. tt tt tt WITH a couple of fly-chasing sluggers, George Puccinelli i and Ray Pepper, coming up from j their Rochester farm, the world ! champion Cardinals are said to be j thinking seriously of selling Chick Hafey, the high-priced batting champ who fell into a dizzy slump i

lend strength to my belief and give hope to Chicago men that the team will rise in a superior way for the contest with Yale, regardless of handicaps. I look for a soul-stirring contest. There will be a clash of the Warner and the Rockne systems in the Wisconsin-Purdue game at Madison. Coach Thistlethwaite is using the double wingback and Coach Kiser the Notre Dame attack. Last year Purdue won 7 to 6 at Lafayette. It should be another hair-raising contest, with the odds favoring Purdue. There will be a championship battle at Ann Arbor when Michigan meets Ohio State. Experts report Ohio has superb material. Michigan’s veteran line is in for a thorough testing. This game represents sne of the intensest rivalries in the Big Ten. I expect Michigan to squeeze through. Other predictions: **- Indiana favored over lowa. Northwestern should have easv time with California i.Los Angeles Branchi. Illinois to take Bradley. Notre Dame over Drake. Kansas to over power Kansas Aggies. Texas over Oklahoma. Colorado to take Missouri. Creighton favored to win over 'Washington university.

Make Offer for Saints Winnipeg Men Seek A. A. Franchise: Champs Are on Market. By Times Special CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—According to an announcement made by President T. J. Hickey of the American Association, there is a possibility of the St. Paul franchise being transferred to Winnipeg, Canada. The A. A. prexy said R. J. Connery, Apostle owner, is willing to sell and that two wealthy Winnipeg sportsmen have made overtures to buy the champions. Hickey said the two bidders asked their names be held secret during the early negotiations. St. Paul was supported poorly during the past season and attendance at little world series games in the Apostle city fell far below expectations. During midseason, President Connery of the Saints saw the “handwriting” of poor financial returns with a first place team and sold five of his stars to the majors for 1932 delivery. It was reported here today that Connery stated that he would welcome any bidders at the station with a band if they arrived with an attractive bank roll.
