TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Nov. 18—A number of sports writers met with Owen. D.

What Young wanted to know Tuesday was how these aames as well as the general scheme could be steamed up so as to make them practically irresistible to the cash cusutomers, and that explains why he called In the sports writers. The call came in the form of a very cordial tclearam which was signed Owen D. Youna.

It seems that Harvard sat in on the first conference, but when the sinister purposs was disclosed she withdrew with the flustered hysteria of a dowaaer who had crashed a Turkish aaU bv^mistake.

NINE ALL-AMERICA CANDIDATES IN GRID CLASSIC
Five Irish Stars to Battle for Honors Schwartz, Yarr, Krause, Kurth .and Hoffman Seek High Laurels; Williamson, Mohler, Baker and Pinckert Are Trojan Stars in Annual Struggle. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 18.—More all-America football candidates will be on the field Saturday when Notre Dame plays Southern California here than in any other game of the 1931 season. Notre Dame has five players bidding for places on the mythical allstar team and Southern California has four. At least three of these nine players are likely to make the first all-America team, and Saturday’s game probably will clinch their places. Which three players it will be is something else again.

Phar Lap in Caliente Race By Times Special MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 18. —Phar Lap, Australia’s wonder horse, will compete in the SIOO,OOO Agua Caliente handicap at the Mexican track early in March, it was announced today. The big 5-year-old stajr was shipped to New Zealand Tuesday, en route to the American track. Phar Lap has won close to $300,000, and a victory in the rich Agua Caliente stake would send him past Sun Beau as the world’s greatest money winner. QUAKER PILOT NAMED By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 18.—Carl W. Schncidewind of Richmond, junior end, today held the captaincy of the Earlham football squad for 1932. He was elected Tuesday at a meeting of letter men as a reward for his stellar play of the last two seasons. Schneidewind was the only Quaker athlete to win three major letters last year. Fifteen Earlham players received varsity letters. Three were seniors, four juniors, six sophomores and two freshmen.
no doubt see Yale going against Dartmouth in a play off of that thrilling 33-33 tie and Columbia getting another crack at Cornell, the team which marred its otherwise perfect record. Besides Dartmouth and Yale in the bowl. Brown and Holy Cross will replay an early season game. This constitutes adult footbaH nourishment that will be well worth taking a trip to get, whether you are sentimentally interested or not. And the same applies to the Yankee stadium attraction. There are a lot of people who refuse to believe that Cornell is two touchdowns stronger than Columbia. or any touchdowns for that matter. Laughing Gil Dobie pointed his team for the Lions this year, much to the horror of the Emilv Post school of etiouette. and it is no certainty that if the game is replayed under different physical and psychological conditions, the outcome will not be different. At any rate this possibility gives the bugs something to gibber about, produces what the professional promoters call heat, and In turn beguiles the cash trade. COLONELS GET MAGUIRE BOSTON, Nov. 18.—Freddie Maguire, second baseman, has been sent to the Louisville club of the American Association by the Boston Braves of the National League, it was announced today. Emil Fuchs, president of the Braves, explained that a revision to obtain more batting strength forced the transfer of Maguire’s contract.
Butler Holds Final Grid Practice of Season Today
Hard scrimmages and long workouts will be ended tonight for Butler football performers. Coach Harry Bell planned to wind up the 1931 practice sessions today. The Bulldog squad was gay today, anticipating the trip to Washington, D. C., where the Bellmen play George Washington university Friday night in their final game. Bell did not name his squad which will leave here Thursday, but indicated a large representation of the Blue squad would make the journey. “Football £rst and sight-seeing
Marchy Schwartz, Notre Dame | great left half back, will be one of them unless he doel everything : wrong against U. S. C. and Army, but the pink-cheeked southerner has an uncanny faculty of playing | his best in the big games so the odds are that he will wind up the season in a blaze of glory. In addition to Schwartz, Notre Dame’s greatest players are Joe Kurth, right tackle, Captain Tommy Yarr,.center; Ed Krause, left tackle; and Frank (Norky) Hoffman, right guard. Four Trojan Phenoms Southern California’s outstanding players are Orville Mohler, quarter back, Emy Pinckert, right half back, Johnny Baker, left guard, and CapI tain Stanley Williamson, center. The battle between Yarr and Wil- : liamson, the two captains and rival | centers, promises to be one of the greatest individual duels of the football season. One or the other will be all-American center and Saturday’s game will tell the tale. Oddly enough, each is 22, weighs 197 pounds, and is playing his last season of college football. Williamson is 6 feet, 1 inch in height, two inches taller than Yarr. Yarr is a fiery leader, Williamson is pot. Williamson inspires his teammates because of his sincerity. Both are dead sure passers. Yarr has played six games with a broken thumb, and three with a badly cut finger on the other hand and hasn’t made a bad pass. Baker and Hoffman The battle of the guards brings together Baker, a 185-pound senior, against Hoffman, a 204-pound junior who never had on a football suit until last season. Baker has an old score to settle with Notre Dame. He was touted for an all-American berth last year, and then fizzled badly when the Irish routed the Trojans, 27-0. But, no one knew until after the game that Baker played on his nerve alone. He had his tongue badly cut in the first few minutes of play when Culver, lVotre Dame tackle, smashed into him, but he refused to say anything about the injury. Seven stitches were taken in the wound and he staggered off the fufld, weak from swallowing blood throughout the game. He is one of the fastest men on the Southern California team, including the backs. Praised by Hanley Hoffman is rated by many as the greatest linesman on the Notre Dame team. Dick Hanley, Northwestern coactf says Hoffman, on his form against the Wildcats, is superior to Metzger and Cannon, Notre Dame’s great guards of the last two years. Notre Dame's two tackles, Kurth and Krause, are running nip and tuck for all-America honors. Krause was good enough to relegate Culver, last year's regular. Kurth is one of the most underrated players on the Notre Dame team. In a pinch there is no more vicious player than this tall curly-haired Ger-r man lad. PRO GOLFERS ELECT Charles Hall Re-Elected President; Martin Named Vice-President. By United Press BOSTON, Nov. 18.—Jack Martin of Tacoma, Wash., was elected vice-president of the Professional Golfers Association at the organization’s annual convention Tuesday.

Another matter which was expected to be settled today was the disposition of the Toledo club, now in the hands of receivers. The Association club owners decided to stop the practice of releasing players on option within the .league. There is no question about the Toledo situation being a difficult matter for the league magnates to solve. Receivership and heavy debts have made the Hens no bargain for a sale. Judge K. W. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, was called into the A. A. meeting Tuesday and was asked lor advice and suggestions on the Toledo matter.

Kurtz and Reed, reserve backs, have been moved up to replace Horstman and Moore, who are on the injured list. Rain limited Tuesday's drill and at the conclusion, Kizer admonished his team to “forget what Indiana did against Northwestern.”

Cuban Gets Big Chance Chocolate Is in Spot for Three Titles Against Canzoneri. BY DIXON STEWART United Tress Stsfl Corresoondent NEW YORK. Nov. 18.—A spindlylegged little Cuban, who a few years ago was hustling newspapers on the streets of Havana, steps out under the bright ringlights at Madison Square Garden Friday night to take a shot at two world boxing championships. If successful, the Cuban newsboy whose ring nom de plume is Kid Chocolate, and whose given name is Eligio Sardinias, will attain ranking with the ring’s immortals as one of the few fighters ever to win three world championships. A victory would make him the only fighter, save Bob Fitzsimmons, to hold three titles concurrently. Faces Great Fighter Chocolate already holds the slightly regarded world junior-light-weight crown, won by a seven round knockout victory over Benny Bass at Philadelphia last summer. He will be fighting for another synthetic title, the junior- welterweight, and for the lightweight championship, one of the ring’s richest prizes. It is no easy task which Chocolatp has set himself. When he steps , into the ring the other corner will |he occupied by Tony Canzoneri. perhaps the finest piece of fighting machinery, pound for pound, in the game. And defeating Canzoneri over the fifteen-round route is an assignment that appears beyond the capabilities of even the Cuban star. Although barely past his majority. | Canzoneri has been fighting eight | years. He has held successively the I world featherweight, junior-iight - weight, lightweight and junior welterweight tiles. Chocolate was an unknown when Canzoneri won his first world championship in February. 1928. Chocolate has compiled a remarkable record in three years of professional fighting. Deserting the amateur ranks early in 1928 after scoring eighty-six knockouts and fourteen decision victories in 100 starts, he scored twenty-one consecutive knockouts as a professional before coming to the United States in August, 1928. Experts Predict K. O. Starting in the smaller clubs he was a consistent winner and became one of boxing’s best drawing cards. He campaigned in this country two years before experiencing the first defeat of his career at the hands of Jack (Kid) Berg in August, 1930. Later, in the same year, he lost decisions to Fidel Labarba and Battling Battalino. Then he abandoned the ring and returned to Cuba. He came back to New York last summer and has won every start since, including the junior-light-w-eight title bout with Bass at Philadelphia. He enters the ring Friday night with a record of only three defeats in more than 200 fights. Despite this record he is on the short end of betting against Canzoneri, with many boxing critics predicting that he will be knocked out.
fourth session, and from that point on, the result never was in doubt. Mays kept a left in Redman’s face during the first three stanzas and stung Jack about the body to gain an even break, but wilted as the battle progressed. There was lively action throughout the ten rounds, and Mays .finished with his face bleeding badly from several cuts. The easterner held a fifteen-pound weight edge. Another Hoosier championship scrap is scheduled to head next Tuesday’s program, with Gary Leach, the well-known Gary middleweight slugger,- taking on Kid Slaughter, Bud Taylor's popular Terre Haute Negro and present title holder.
