BOILERMAKERS EXPECT HARD BATTLE WITH lOWA ELEVEN

Hawkeyes Show Form Invaders Boast Powerful Defense for Hoosiers’ Home-Coming Tilt. Bpi tm rs Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 11.lowa’s defensive ability as demonstrated in its last two battles, combined with the gradual development of the Hawkeye offensive that is expected to be at its peak here next Saturday, make the Purdue-lowa home-coming struggle here stand out as a game that is apt to produce more than its share of action. lowa, beset on all sides by injuries early in the season, has gradually recruited its full strength. Last Saturday, the Hawkeyes battled to the finish with the sturdy Nebraska eleven, and were nosed out after a gallant stand, 7 to 0, but their defensive ability in stopping the heavy Cornhuskers threw a scare into Purdue’s scout. Although the Boilermakers flashed brilliant offensive power against Centenary last Saturday as the backs raced to seven touchdowns, lowa will present tackles and ends who are not used to being shoved out of the way, and passing the line of scrimmage will be a vastly different matter. History repeats itself for the tilt, for when the initial kickoff comes Saturday it will be just two years, lacking two days, since Purdue clinched the Big Tem title against .the Hawkeyes in the home-coming tussle of 1929. Local gridiron fans will long remember that tilt, for it stands out as one of the hardest fought and best played games ever staged in the local stadium. Welever New Ohio Piling er Bp United Press COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 11.—Watson Welever, second string full back, may be elevated to the Ohio State’s varsity for the Wisconsin game in order to give the Buckeyes more offensive strength. Welever has been showing up well at carrying the ball in practice. MADISON, Wis., Nov. 10.—Wisconsin’s attack appeared feeble against the freshmen in Tuesday’s workout. The Badgers’ back field was composed of McGuire, Pacetti, Rebliolz and Schneller.

TALKING IT OVER

NEW YORK.Nov.il.—The young gentleman who edits the Columbia student newspaper achieves the metropolitan headlines by putting in a rap for college football. It is a very lusty rap, too, if I may add. The voung gentleman, one Reed Harris bv name, charges that Columbia —his dead old alma mater—and other large universities are sponsoring a racket in the form of semi-Drofessional football. I suppose what the young gentleman is struggling to sav is that all the boys are getting dough and that there is a divvy somewhere between the coach and the faculty. I never know just how to take these undergraduate Masts. For instance, does this voung gentleman in his capacity as editor of the Columbia newspaper speak for the rest of the students? And what is more important, does he speak the truth? Everybody knows of course that some teams maintain a very high scholastic standard, and that others do not. Also that there are still other teams which make only a scant pretense at amateurism. But on the whole the situation does not seem to be vicious, and certainly it 4s tremendously better than it was even a decade ago. when the tramp athlete roamed the country and colleges openly bid lor smashing half backs. I am surprised to hear that prim old Columbia is listed with the black sheep of football, and since the listing is made bv one of her own sons. I suppose that Dean Herbert E. Hawkes will insist upon a prompt revelation of all the facts. It must naturally be assumed that Editor Harris has in his possession some very interesting information touching upon the subject. No editor would make such a charge unless he was prepared to prove it. At least it doesn’t seem reasonable that he would. But mavbe college editors are different. Personally I should hate to have it established that Columbia is merely a semipro team. Against Dartmouth. Lou Little's youths played well enough to warrant a much more flattering rating in the professional artistic scale. hum INCIDENTALLY, I note that Little in commenting on Editor Harris* article talks of the existence of graft in college publications and says it is of such magnitude as would shame Tammany Hall. Is this the beginning of a finish fight between One Round Kettle and Kavo Pot. or do mv ears deceive me? No matter what vou had better stick around. Mr. Keaburv. It looks as if the bovs will have another large load of dirt for vou orettv So Whtte they are investigating the football learn. Little seems to feel that thev ihoulf also investigate the campus publicatif/'S. And why not-what’s one more i ttia investigation in thlii man’s town!

Collegian’s Attack on Grid Sport Gets Little Intrest

By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Another attack on college football—this one by Spectator, undergraduate daily at Columbia university—appears to have “flivvered.” University authorities and the public in general refuse to become excited over the “deplorable conditions’’ pictured by the college paper. In xact, university authorities were inclined to regard the attack as an attempt by undergraduate editors to attract attention and notoriety.

I susuect. however, that Little’s estimate of what he calls Illegitimate riches In the collegiate editorial field is slightly high. For one thing you seldom see a football star on the college newspaper. The football star always seems to make much more money by turning out the gym lights or tearing off the calendar months than is offered bv a literary career, and besides this keeps him out of the company of free verse writers and feverish juniors who are trying to decide between Stalin and Mussolini—which may be a blessing at that.

Down the Alleys

BY LEFTY LEE

The anti-football editorial was written by editor-in-chief Reed Harris, a senior classman, and classified all college foottball as a “semi-professional racket operated for the amusement of alumni and public.” The editorial advocated “honest professionalism to replace furtive hypocrisy,” and suggested that alumni pay “a good living wage to every football man, openly and not underhandedly.” Heywood Broun had urged such action some weeks previously.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Ross May Quit Post Earlham Mentor Asks to Give Up Grid Job, Serve as Dean. Bp Time* Special RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 11.—M. O. Ross, head football coach at Earlham college for the past eight seasons, is reported by the Earlham Post, student publication, to have submitted his resignation. Weight of other duties is said by the publication to be responsible for his request to be relieved of the coaching post. Ross also acts as dean of the college and is head of economics department. William Cullen Dennis, president of the college, refused to confirm or deny the report while ~-ss also was noncommital. Five particularly successful teams have been turned out by Ross during his eight years of coaching here. The season of 1930 and the present campaign might have been more successful but for injuries. Ross attended the University of Kentucky and Kentucky Wesleyan. He coached in the high school at Sturgis, Ky„ and came to Earlham in the fall of 1924 to succeed N G Wann. President Dennis and the trustees of the college are said to have a high regard for Ross and his work.

Max Carey to Rule Dodgers With Firm Hand; Seeks New Pitchers

BY DANIEL M. DANIEL Sports Writer, New York World-Telegram NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Max Carey, new boss of the Dodgers, is in Brooklyn today, ready to tell his hopes and aspirations and ponder over the divers trades which have been broached by other clubs or suggested by his own desires and impressions. Carey is not going to make Lhe mistake of spouting brash statements and hazarding bold promises. He is too old and experienced a hand to underestimate the size of the job which confronts him—and he is too crafty a campaigner to promise Brooklyn fans a pennant. Carey will have to make several changes in the personnel of the club and he will have to change its psychology. He will find it a little hard at first to institute a system based on training rules and attention to behaviorism. It was the method of Wilbert Robinson, deposed pilot, to judge a player solely by what he did on the field. This antique system no longer is workable. In his faith in the players Uncle Robbie made a lot of mis-

It will be the final game for Joe Dienhart’s eleven, expert exponents of the intricate Notre Dame system. Clinton was stopped once this season, breaking even with Emerson of Gary, but is unbeaten.

takes on the side of graciousness and generosity. For example, last spring Robbie took the Dodgers to Havana. Os all the places available for exhibition games, Havana possibly was the worst from the standpoint of training and fitness. The week of minor league games at Macon, preceding the opening of the pennant race,' also will be omitted. It is Carey's job to put the Dodgers on a more business-like basis with a • firmer band at the helm and hard-boiled attitude on the bench. Carey also hopes to alter the old Flatbush trademark, the popular conception around the circuit that Brooklyn is a stupid ball club. In so far as the personnel is concerned, Carey is forced to admit a deficiency in the pitching department—and a deficiency in trading material. Pat Malone of the Cubs, Si Johnson and Red Lucas of the Reds, Ray Benge of the Phillies, Lefty Sherdel and Bruce Cunningham of the Braves, Steven Swetonic of the Pirates and Tony Kaufman and Jess Haines of the Cardinals are reported to be available if the right sort of bait can be put on the hook.

Long Rest Bolsters Bulldogs, Victory Hopes in Marquette Tilt

Butler Winds Up 1931 Home Campaign Against Powerful Hilltoppers; Coach Bell Hopes to Surprise Invaders and Gain Revenge for 1930 Thumping. Butler’s Bulldogs close the home football schedule at Fairview bowl Saturday afternoon as host to the powerful Marquette eleven, rated one of the outstanding collegiate machines in the midvest and regarded Butler’s strongest foe this season. Unbeaten in 1930, Coach Frank Murray was forced to rebuild his Golden Avalanche team this year, but has won five games and lost one. His inexperienced pastimers have gained momentum with each battle and will be at tops for the test here. Marquette’s great strength lies in the weight and speed of the back field. In speedy Johnny Sisk, 185-pound half back who received allAmerica honorable mention last year as a sophomore, the Hilltoppers

boast a great ball caiTier Eugene Ronzani, 185-pound quarter back also is a spectacular broken field runner as line plunger Halfman and Peterson round out the back field, which averages over the 170-pcund mark. Rozmarynoski and Bachuber are line leaders. The invading forward wall will hold a weight advantage of five pounds to the man over the Blue performers. Coach Harry Bell has told his squad in drills this week that the Bulldogs are capable of beating Marquette. The Bulldog mentor scouted the Hilltoppers personally last week, and hopes to key # his squad for a revenge win. Marquette turned in a 25-to-0 win at Milwaukee last year. A few changes may be made in the Bulldog lineup. Elser wlil perform as he did against Wabash, starting at tackle, but shifting to end to be eligible for passes. The new Blue passing combination, Booz to Elser, will be a big factor in Butler’s attack. Due to the extra week layoff last week and short practice session, Butler will be in excellent shape to withstand the Marquette power attackle. New plays which will be flashed against the invaders also have been perfected.

But how many of these would be worth the sacrifice which would be demanded? Carey already has quieted rumors which would bring Pat Malone and Hack Wilson of the Cubs to the Dodgers. The new Flatbush pilot may find more solace in Mungo, Moore and Gallivan than in any pitchers he may be able to grab in trades. This trio of youpg hurlers has strong possibilities and they may have the answer to Brooklyn hopes for the 1932 campaign, especially if Babe Phelps and Dazzy Vance return to their 1930 form.

Military Grid Foes to Meet

Bp Times SpecialCHICAGO, Nov. 11.—While superior weight gives St. Johns Military Academy eleven an edge in the charity gridiron battle at Soldiers field next Saturday, Culver (Ind.) Academy has a scrappy and determined team which may pull even a bigger upset than marked last year’s game and sweep ahead to victory. The Culver line averages over the 180-mark, but will be outweighed. The outstanding weakness of the Hoosier eleven appears to be the lack of a heavy, battering-ram back field man capable of picking up a yard or two for first down. A giant crowd is expected for Saturday’s tussle.

only way to force my way into bouts with Schmeling and Sharkey is to knock out some of the other contenders and I would like to start on Paulino—a fighter who is as rugged as they make them, and who never have been knocked off his feet.” Having got that speech off his chest, Loughran stepped into his daily training workouts. And after watching the Philadelphia dancing master go through his boxing workout it is not difficult to see why Tommy is rated as an 8 to 5 favorite. Working against Tiger Thomas, Loughran had little difficulty in solving a crouching, weaving attack similar to the one employed by Paulino. In addition he appeared to be punching harder than in previous New York appearances.

final time the Detroiter went down, it was for keeps. Peter Mike and Don Fagg, a couple of rugged welters, stole the show from the top event performers with a ten-round slugfest, in which the local battler copped the verdict. Mike tied up the Clinton fighter at close range, silencing Fagg’s chief offense. He also beat Fagg to the punches and the final count was heavily in Mike’s favor. There were no knockdowns, but plenty of heavy wallops at long and short range. One Round Bess, veteran local flyweight. staged a strong finish, but lost on points to Guy Stubbs.
