INDIANA INVADES CHICAGO, PURDUE FACES CARNEGIE

Sabik Joins I. U. Squad 'Little Joe’ to Lead Hoosier Pass Attack Against Maroons. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 22 Indiana's pass attack, built around Sabik and Opasik, has been coming along well in practice this week and Coach E. C. Hayes expects it to give the "Toosiers a scoring punch against Chicago when the old rivals tangle at the Midway Saturday. Hayes and a squad of thirty-three Crimson huskies will leave for Chicago Friday. A brisk scrimmage concluded the Hoosiers drill today. The return of Adolp 'Little Joe) Sabik to scrimmage this week was the signal for the opening up of drill or; a passing attack that has been held in reserve until the brilliant little East Chicago sophomore passer could get back into action following an early season injury received in practice before the opening game. Hayes has his I. U. squad highly keyed for the battle against the team coached by A. A. Stagg, assisted by Pat Page, former I. U. mentor, and Otto Strohmeier. former I. U. assistant coach. M By Unite 1 Press CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—John Spearing, 193-pound tackle and heaviest Chicago lineman, has a Charley horse and may not be able to play against Indiana Saturday. If Spearing is unavailable, Coach Stagg will have a hard time finding a capable substitute because of the lack of reserve strength. PEPrER GETS BERTH Bit United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Jerry Pepper, sophomore half back, has won a regular berth in the Forriham varsity lineup and is expected to start against Drake Saturday.

State High Schools Cut Age Limit * to 20; Charity Contests Approved

BY DICK MILLER Legislation against the participation of boys 21 years of age in high school athletics was enacted by the athletic council legislative committee of the Indiana High School Athletic Association at its annual meeting Wednesday night. The vote revealed quite a majority of the twenty-five members present in favor of the reduction to the 20-year limit., The change will not be retroactive, how'ever, and will operate against students entering school from now on. Thus the presence of boys 21 years of age in contests will not be eliminated entirely for four years. Other important actions were taken by the council, but one of the most important was a conduct rule which will give the board of control the right to declare ineligible any student whose conduct outside athletic contests iL such as to reflect discredit upon his high school or the state athletic association. While there was no action taken on the proposed rule that would prohibit summer camps and other training centers where high school students receive instruction from coaches between close of school in June and reopening in September, it was partially struck at in a “preseason games” regulation enacted Wednesday night. Under this rule no games will be played between schools prior to the opening of school in the fall, defined as the first day of classroom instruction. Anticipating the call for high school athletic teams to aid in charity games the council took an initiative step and enacted two rules

Anderson Fights Against Overconfidence as Irish Drill for Pitt

Jf.u Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 22. Heartly (Hunk) Anderson, who already has proved his ability as a coach with Notre Dame’s 63 to 0 victory over Drake last Saturday, will get his great test as a psychologist and handler of men Saturday, when Pittsburgh's undefeated and unscored-on team plays here. Hunk started Monday to key his men for this game. The Irish defeated Pitt last year, 35 to 19. because Schwartz’s 60-yard touchdown run the first time Notre Dame got the ball, demoralized Pitt’s green team. Anderson is faced with the problem of getting his men to realize that Pitt has one of the strongest teams in the east, perhaps the strongest Notre Dame will meet all season. He must make them forget their impressive Drake triumph and prevent overconfidence. He must convince them that Pitt, having Iftst only two men. from 1930, has a veteran team.

One post-season football game may be played in 1931 for charity, the board ruled, providing the contest is under the direct supervision of the school principals involved.

Buck Weaver of Terre Haute meets Buck Lipscomb in the opener.

How well he can do this will be shown Saturday. If Notre Dame loses, you can lay it to overconfidence, because Notre Dame is a better team on paper than Pitt, on the grounds of greater reserve strength. Anderson and his assistants have found it difficult to develop a defense for Pitt. In their four easy triumphs the Panthers have used but one formation. Coach Jock Sutherland has not called upon his regulars to use the double wingback formation in which the eastern eleven specializes. Pitt’s great line of veterans is matched by a brilliant back field. Every member of the varsity eleven is a letter man except Bob Hogan. sensational sophomore quarter back. Captain Eddie Hirsehberg and Rip Collins at ends, Morris and Milligan at guards, Quatse and McMurdo at tackles and Daugherty at center, have not allowed a first tiow*n to be scored against them in four tilts.

Texas U. Grid Squad Drills Here; On Way to Harvard

Coach Clyde Littlefield and his i thirty-one rangy University of Texas football players, eleven of them more than six feet tall, stopped here today on their way to play Harvard at Cambridge Saturday. The Longhorns held a brief workout at Butler bowl. Coach Littlefield was optimistic regarding the chances of the big Orange team in its first invasion of New England.

Heller and Reider are the regular half backs, with Simms and Sebastian as alternates.

Plaid Set for Purdue Carnegie Scotchmen Helped by Rest; Injuries Bother Boilermakers. By Times Special PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 22.—Carnegie Tech probably will have to pay for Purdue’s lapses against Wisconsin last Saturday, which saw the Boilermakers suffering their worst defeat in more than three campaigns. Judge Walter Steffen, Carnegie's head coach, personally scouted t'ne Purdue-Badger game and reported the Hoosiers over-confident at the start. Carnegie had hoped to catch Purdue napping, but last Saturday’s result spoiled all that. Consequently, the visitors will be favorites over the plaid warriors. The Tartans will be at their physical best, however. They have not played since they defeated Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Oct. 10 and all the cripples have returned to active duty. Captain Murray Armentrout, stellar half back, is expected to lead the plaid offense. Purdue alumni are gathering in Pittsburgh this week for their eastern reunion and the visiting team will be supported by at least 6,000 of their own followers. By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 22. With most of Purdue’s regular backs injured, Paul Pardonner, stocky little Italian, and Fred Hecker, Texas sophomore, are expected to lead the Boilermakers’ attack against Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh Saturday. Hecker's passing to Paul Moss, brilliant end, featured Wednesday’s drill. GOPHERS TRY PASSES By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 22. John Hass, sprinter, exhibited skill as a pass receiver in Wednesday's drill and probably will see much service in the Minnesota backfield against lowa. Ken MacDougall, midget quarter back, scrimmaged Wednesday with his broken thumb in a cast.

Loyal Hoosier By Times Special Madison, wis., oct. 22. When Calvin Coolidge came out with a boost for a second presidential term for Herbert Hoover some New York wag remarked: “Well, that assures Herbie of one vote anyway.” Now there evidently is a Hoosier on the Wisconsin campus just as loyal to his home state as Cool Cal is loyal to Hoover. In a student vote taken to learn the preferred opponent for the Badgers in a post-season charity grid game limited to four Big Ten teams, the poll was as follows: Michigan university 51!). lowa university 548. Northwestern university 301. Indiana university 1.

Stove League Chatter 1 BY EDDIE ASH

HARRY HARPER, the picner who established the record for wildness in the American Association years ago, is now described as a wealthy politician in New Jersey. At any rate he is running for state senator in the Skeeter state. Harper, a southpaw', issued twenty bases on balls in one game while on the mound for Minneapolis, against St. Paul in 1915. His “w'alks average” for that season was more than seven per game. # a Ed Walsh Jr. is going to receive another trial with the White Sox. He was farmed out during the past season, seeing service with Louisville and Minneapolis. Sox bosses made a mistake with the young man by taking him from college and starting him in the majors instead of putting him out on option in the minors. From campus to the big show was too great a jump. tt tt tt Milwaukee is expecting to land Earl Sheely, first sacker or Lance Richbourg, fly chaser, from Boston in the deal for Art Shires. Catcher 800 l and SIO,OOO wall go to the Home Brews under the terms of the official deal. Richbourg formerly w'as a popular pastimer with the Cream City club. tt tt tt According to gossip put out in the east, the Brooklyn Robins plan to dispose of Fresco Thompson, second sacker, and outfielders Johnny Frederick and Denny Southern. Brooklyn also is figuring to make other changes over winter. tt tt tt Before asking for another SBO,OOO contract, Babe Ruth is explaining to all who w'ill listen what a tough life he is leading, denying himself life’s pleasures in order to keep the cobwebs out of his batting eyes. The betting is even the Bambino wYll receive the eighty grand. He’s slowed up in the field and on the bases, but the turnstiles haven’t slowed up any wherever he performs and the .big fellow still punishes the horsehide. tt tt a “Pack ’em in” is Ruth’s motto and he’s still doing it out in California in exhibitions. The home-run slugger has participated in several charity games and some have been night tilts. Babe will appear in talkie shorts in Hollywood before return-

er, or they’ll run you ragged Saturday.” Approximately 40,000 fans are expected to see the game, which will start at 2 p. m. and will be broad- | cast over WKBF, Indianapolis: WBBM, Chicago and Columbia Syatern, and WSBT, South Bend.

Scarlet in Top Shape Return of Varner Boosts Hopes for Grid Win Over Denison. By Times Speeial CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 22.—One of the best homecoming football battles in recent years seems assured for Wabash at Ingalls field here Saturday afternoon as Denison university of Granville, 0., a Buckeye conference eleven, invades this city to battle the Scarlet. The return of Red Varner. Hammond sophomore back field flash, to practice this week after resting up from injuries last week-end. has strengthened the Little Giants’

| chances of victory. He likely will | open Saturday's game at right half j back, a position taken by Radford, another Hammond sophomore, against Ball State last Saturday. Swartout, half back; Engel, full back, and S. Smith. Columbia City quarter back, will complete the ball carrying squad. A few changes may be made by Coach Pete Vaughan in the Wabash .line before Saturday’s game. Riker, sophomore, threatens to oust Vojvodich, another sophomore, from his position at left tackle. The latter , may be shifted to one of guard i positions. Homecoming festivities will be opened here Friday night as college students gather back of the campus for the annual freshman bonfire and y pep meeting and parade.

Nearly all big league clubs send representatives to the annual National Association contention and there w'ill be plenty of fan fodder sent out of the Hoosier spa. tt tt a While some veteran players with the Athletics have expressed the opinion Connie Mack will turn over the managerial reins to Eddie Collins next year, George Earnshaw thinks Connie will carry on It is said numerous Athletic followers are of the belief it is time for Mack to give way to a younger man.

Todt, a left-handed batter, understudied Jimmy Foxx the past season, and while highly ! regarded as a fielder, his stick w r ork fell short. Roettger had a big sea- j son with the champion Apostles, and is booked to sub for Foxx and pinch hit.
