PITT PINS HOPES FOR WIN OVER IRISH ON VETERAN LINE

Panthers Get Test Eastern Forwards Unscored On, Have Not Allowed First Down. By Times Special PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21.—Pittsburgh s hefty and veteran line, which has yet to be scored upon this season and which has not allowed a first down to be made through it all year, will get its first real test Saturday when the Golden Panthers invade South Bend to tackle Hunk Anderson’s Notre Dame eleven. Unless an injury develops in practice this week, the Panthers will be physically primed for the engagement. Pitt has not met strenuous opposition in its first four games. lowa and West Virginia were expected to provide tests, but collapsed. Pitt will be a decided underdog in Saturday’s game, but Coach Jock Sutherland and his men have high hopes of springing a surprise. In addition to the brilliant line, which Coach Anderson told his Irish warriors was the fastest charging forward wall in the east and better than Northwestern’s, the Panthers boast of a group of fleet backs. So far this season, straight running plays have been the only attack used by Sutherland's crew. Jimmy Clark, 160-pound full back who scored twice against the Irish last year; Heller, Reider and Seabastian all have turned in long touchdown runs. Ralph Daugherty, center, and Jim MacMurdo, husky tackle, are outstanding in the Pitt line. By United rress SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 21.

Redmond and Pickerd to Top Armory Bill; Brady Triumphs

Indiana state heavyweight championship fistic honors will be at stake when Jack Redmond, South Bend Negro, tackles Walter Pickerd In the ten-round top event at the Armory next Tuesday. The state commission will award the winner a title belt. Two punches in the “tummy” delivered by Jackie Brady, the Syracuse (N. Y.) welter, were enough for Duke Trammel and the Ft. Worth (Tex.) battler took the count in the second round of Tuesday night’s scheduled ten-rounder at the Armory. Brady took the lead at the start and hammered Trammel hard about the body during the brief scrap. Roy Mitchell did not appear up to his usual form and took a lacing from Peter Mike, local welter, in the eight-round semi-windup. Mitchell

He learned his horse lore from his father, whom racing experts termed an extremely severe but just teacher. Before he thought much of the racing game, however, Rowe enjoyed a diversified college course. He studied the classics at Fordham university and later went to Cornell, where he studied engineering.

Detroit Heavy Is Added to Armory Mat Program

Dick Lever, Detroit heavyweight, will perform in the semi-final bout on the National Guard Athletic Association wrestling program at the Armory Friday night. His opponent will be selected Thursday and it is said a well-known grappler will be signed. The feature attraction will be between Hardy Krusekamp, Philadelphia, and Charlie Stanton, St. Louis. They are prominent in heavyweight circles and see much action over the country. Stanton was popular with local fans last winter and Krusekamp has annexed two bouts here.

A1 De Rose, veteran local feather, outpointed Chuck Wagner in a feature sixrounder. It was close all the way. Frankie Rosenstein staged a great rally to shade Jimmie Burgess In six rounds, with Burgess holding on at every opportunity in the last three frames. Rosenstein probably wishes today he had stuck to his “retirement.” Earlier in the week, Frankie had withdrawn from a scrap, announcing he was through with the ring. When Pat Bennet of Terre Haute failed to show up. Rosenstein substituted against Burgess. In the second round of the scrap, Burgess slammed a right into Frankie’s face. Result—the loss of two front teeth. A dentist was called into the ring between the second and third rounds to remove one of ther molars. Jimmie Fox outpointed Eddie Blake of Delphi, in another six-rounder, while George Downey took the opener from Billv Watson in four rounds.

For Klein, in case your memory is not what it used to be, led the league in home runs, batted in the most runs, and tied for the lead in runs scored. As much as we like Frisch, we can think of half-a-dozen men we would have placed above him. Red Lucas of Cincinnati, is one. Red won 14 games, aAnost one-fourth as many victories as his club scored

Purdue and Wisconsin to Invade East for Important Grid Games

Big Ten Is Far Behind in Intersectional Grid Tussles. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY L'nited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Wisconsin and Purdue will invade the east Saturday in an attempt to regain some of the prestige the Big Ten has lost this season by its unusually poor record in intersectional competition. In nine major intersectional games thus far, Big Ten teams have won only three, tied one and lost five. Northwestern is the only Big Ten team with an undefeated, untied record in intersectional warfare, having bowled over Nebraska and the University of California (Los Angeles) in its two tests against invaders. Wisconsin, which supplied one of the major upsets of the season by defeating Purdue last week, 21 to 14, will play Pennsylvania at Philadelphia and attempt to repeat last year’s 27-to-0 victory over the Quakers. Purdue, crippled but fighting mad after its reverse at the hands of Wisconsin, will open anew intersectional rivalry with Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh. Every section of the countryeast, south, southwest and far west —holds at least one victory over a Big Ten team this season. The scores of the nine major intersectional games played by Big Ten teams follows: WON Northwestern, 19; Nebraska. 7. Northwestern. 19; U. C. L. A.. 0. Minnesota. 20; Oklahoma A. and M., 0. TIED Wisconsin. 7; Alabama Poly, 7. LOST Yale. 27: Chicago. 0. Stanford, 13; Minnesota. 0. Pittsbur ,h. 20; lowa. 0. Texas A, & M.. 29; lowa. 0. Vanderbilt. 26; Ohio State. 21. After this week, only five more intersectional games will be played by Big Ten teams. The two most important are the Michigan-Prince-ton battle at Princeton Oct. 31 and the Ohio State-Navy clash at Columbus, Nov. 7. The Pennsylvania-Wisconsin game brings together two undefeated teams, although the Badgers have been tied. Wisconsin hasn’t a great team, but for the first time in years the Badgers seem to have a team that can make the most of its opportunities. The generalship of Mickey McGuire, Hawaiian half back with the Irish name, who calls signals, was one of the bright spots in the Purdue triumph. Although Purdue will send a crippled team to battle Carnegie Tech, the Boilermakers have enough reserve strength to patch up the gaps. Two of Purdue’s star backs, Ed Risk, and Alex Yunevich, may not be ready for action, but Fred Hecker and Paul Pardonner, the sophomore stars, should be able to fill their places capably.

—Stove League Chatter — — "BY EDDIE ASH

THE move launched by Winnipeg (Canada) sportsmen to purchase the St. Paul A. A. franchise and transfer the team to the far north doubtless will meet with disappointment. Winnipeg is too far away from the other A. A. cities and the cost of travel would be too great for such teams as Kansas City, Louisville, Indianapolis, Toledo and Columbus. Owing to poor attendance the past season, Prexy Connery of the champion Saints is in a mood to sell, but there's only a remote chance. Larry Benton, Cincy Red pitcher, received no cut of the world series money because cellar teams receive no reward, but Larry went to the Latonia race track the other day and walked into a streak of luck that put some winter spending money in his jeans. He picked six straight winners, missing only the last race. tt tt t 1 IT has been disclosed that the Chicago Cubs paid about $42,000 for pitcher Tinning of Des Moines (Western League) team. He started with Minneapolis last spring, failed to make the A. A. grade and drew his release. The demotion failed to discourage the youth and he became Des Moines’ hero, winning twenty-four games against only two defeats. tt tt tt Tinning pitched 215 innings, gave up 206 hits, 88 runs and struck out 128. He issued 88 walks. The new Cub candidate is a 6-footer and durable. He is a right-hander. The western loop is Class A. From the American Association the Cubs bought the veteran, Dutch Henry, south paw, who turned in 23 wins against 10 losses for the Millers. Henry -was short of big league skill in several other major experiences. NICK WILLIAMS, manager of the champion San Francisco j Seals of the Pacific Coast League, has issued a signed statement to the effect that he was fired off the job. Earlier reports said the veteran had resigned “without comment.” Well, Nick is making plenty of comment now. According to Williams, his resignation was requested and when he refused to resign the club bosses released him. tt tt tt Williams has been identified with baseball for thirty years and his release by the Seals after his club de-

Any man capable of winning 14 games with the Reds deserves any honor you might pay him. a a a selection was entirely In keeping with the tradition that the “most valuable’’ player must come from a pennant-winning club.

And Vance and Wilson were members of the runner-up outfit.

Carl Cramer

A pair of young men who are expected to provide plenty of trouble for gridiron rivals Saturday are Carl Cramer, sophomore phenom of Ohio State, and Murray Armentrout, captain of Carnegie Tech. There’s an all-Big Ten quarter back post awaiting Cramer if he performs against Northwestern aa he did against Michigan. He is a brilliant runner, tosses beautiful passes, does some excellent kicking, and runs the Buckeye machine in smooth fashion. Graduation and ineligibility almost ruined Carnegie Tech’a team this year, but the Plaid has an ace in Armentrout. He played end his sophomore year, but has been a half back since then.

Age Limit Problem Up for I.H.S.A.A. Action Tonight

Several important problems are scheduled for argument tonight when the annual meeting of the athletic council of the Indiana High School Athletic Association is held at the Circle Tower headquarters. One of the most important will be the reduction of the age limit of competing prep athletes from 21 to 20 years of age. Latest efforts to reduce the limit comes from schoolmen who say the average age of high school athletes is about 17. Arguments in the past have been that since a boy is a minor until he is 21 years of age he should be permitted to compete. A. L. Trester, commissioner of the I. H. S. A. A., has made an extensive survey of the age problems and will submit his report tonight. Trester reports that the

seated Hollywood four straight to win the Coast play-off series has stirred up much commotion. Nick said the club directors did not approve of his personal habits and Williams declares his conscience is clear. tt tt tt WHILE on a baseball barnstorming trip Art Shires played in Des Moines, and during the visit went out to the Drake university gridiron and helped put the Bulldogs through the paces in preparation fer the Notre Dame game. Evidently after hearing of the way the Irish slaughtered Drake, Shires will confine his efforts to the diamond and vaudeville. Owner of Sox Is Near Death By United Press EAGLE RIVER, Wis., Oct. 21. Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, was critically ill today at his Sand Lake home. Relatives and physicians described Comiskey’s condition as “very low” and said he had resigned himself to death. Comiskey is 72 years old and has been ill for the last ten or twelve years. ALL-STAR NINE WINS HONOLULU, Oct. 21.—With Lefty Grove, Larry French, Bruce Cunningham, allowing but four hits, the major league all-stars opened their barnstorming tour of the Orient here Tuesday before 12,000 people with a 10 to 0 triumph over the allstar Hawaiians. Lou Gehrig of the Yanks and A1 Simmons of the Athletics hit home runs. The team is en route to Japan for a twelve-game tour. HANOVER”PLAYS OAKS HANOVER, Ind., Oct. 21.—Homecoming will be celebrated when Hanover college grid warriors tackle Oakland City college here Saturday night. Although beaten by Rose Poly, Hanover victory hopes are high. TECH SQUAD CUT Approximately 200 Tech basketball candidates were cut from the squad by Coach Tim Campbell Tuesday, fifty surviving the first I slash.

In the American, Sisler in 1922, and Burns in *26, are the only players to have earned the recognition while playing with nonchampionship outfits. Maybe the committee of eight gave Frankie the job as a sort of consolation prize. Frisch ran third in 1924, and was runner-up in 1927 and 1930. If Frisch was superstitious he would refuse the honor, for the six men who preceded him have either flopped or gone into a partial eclipse. They are Vance (1924), Hornsby (1925), O’Farrell (1926), Bottomley (1928), Hornsby (1929) and Hack Wilson (1930).

S’ .

Murray Armentrout

average age of youths competing in the various basketball tournaments is 17 and 18 years. Illinois prep athletic officials recently lowered their limit to 20 years of age. One of the strongest arguments against the 21-year-old limit in this state, according to Trester, is the fact that many youths, after gradutaing from the common schools, fail to enter high school immediately. They join independent teams, develop more rapidly than the high school youngsters and then return to school to compete against younger boys. Regardless of the decision, tonight’s debate on this subject probably will be filled with fireworks. Pre-season football practice and games also is likedly to come up for discussion. It is urged that practice under direction of coaches be prohibited before Sept. 1 to eliminate August and early September grid grimes. This would meag. elimination of many summer “camps,” where football players drill under coaches. Several phases of the proposed insurance plan probably will be explained. Election of officers and filling of vacancies on the board of ocntrol also will be staged tonight. Texas Eleven to Stop Here By United Press AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 21.—Accompanied by the school band and many student rooters, thirty players of the University of Texas football team were en route east today to play Harvard at Cambridge Saturday. With a 31 to 0 victory over Missouri and a 3 to 0 win over Oklahoma to their credit, the Texans were confident they could whip the team that beat the Army.
