PURDUE FAVORITE IN BIG TEN GRID TITLE RACE

Kizer Has , Many Yets Minnesota, Northwestern Loom as Chief Obstacles. By Unitrd Press LAFAYETTE. Ind., Sept. 21. Purdue won the Big Ten football championship in 1929, and may do ,it again in 1932. Last year Purdue defeated Northwestern in a post- | season charity game,- 7-0, and brought about a three-way tie for first place between Northwestern, Purdue and Michigan. One-third of a title isn’t much to celebrate, and Purdue is bent on winning the whole thing outright this season. Meet Gophers Early And if Minnesota doesn’t stop the Boilermakers on Oct. 8, and Northwestern halt them again on Oct. 22, then Purdue is almost certain to | take down the undisputed Big Ten i championship for the second time 1 in four years. With six conference games scheduled, Purdue might even lose one game and still win the title. The Boilermakers already count the Chicago, lowa and Indiana games as good as won, and they should take Wisconsin after a tough battle. That’s four victories and if they can tumble Minnesota and Northwestern, then the Old Gold and Black will wave from the Big Ten masthead. 81 on Squad Noble Kizer, a Notre Dame product, who is beginning his third year as head coach at Purdue, has the largest squad in the Big Ten. It numbers eighty-one, and includes fourteen letter men from last year, three letter men from other years, seven Aiinor letter men, twelve reserves and forty-five sophomores. In his two years as head coach Kizer has lost three games, two of them fcy 1 point. Purdue’s back field will be a veritable whirlwind. Paul Pardonner, a miniature of Frank Carldeo, will be the quarter back. Fred Hecker, great passer and runner from Texas, and Doxie Moore, who averaged nearly seven yards every time he carried the ball last year in his sophomore year, will be first-string half backs. Roy Horstmann, the briUiant full back, will complete the first team back field. There are at least two formidable reserves for each back field position. Among the best of these are Duane Purvis, 190pound full back and brother of the graduated Jim; Jimmv Peelle, who earned his letter at quarter back last vear. and Emerson Carter and Beany Craig, sopho- I more half backs. The line probably will shape up as follows: Captain John Oehler, center; Letsinger, letter man, and Febel, a minor letter man. guards; Fehring, regular last year, and Ungers, letter man in 1930 who was out of school last year, tackles, and Paul Moss and Ben Merz, regulars last year. ends. Moss, a brilliant punter and pass receiver, was an all-conference man last year. Purdue’s schedule follows; Oct. 1, Kansas Aggies; Oct. 8, Purdue at Minnesota; Oct. 15, Wisconsin; Oct. 22, Purdue at Northwestern; Oct. 29, Purdue vs. New York U„ at New York; Nov. 5, Purdue at Chicago; Nov. 12, Purdue at Jowa; Nov. 19, Indiana at Purdue.

batter. He became the Yankees’ regular catcher in 1929, and has averaged .320 in nearly 500 games since then. In 105 games this year his batting average is .310. The Cubs’ star catcher is Leo (Gabby) Hartnett, a big, strapping fellow who is completing his eleventh season in the majors. He has batted .269 in 119 games this year. T*he National League biographer writes of Hartnett: “He is one of the factors of the Cubs’ success, a fine catcher, a dangerous hitter, and

.SEPT. 21, 1932

Mel Ott Ties Chuck Klein By Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Mel Ott. New York outfielder, today wks tied with Chuck Klein of the Phillies for National League home run honors with thirty-eight each. Ott clouted two Tuesday to help the Giants defeat Boston, 13 to 3. Brooklyn’s Dodgers strengthened their hold on third place, defeating the Phillies, 3 to 1. and increasing their lead over the Phils to one and a half games. Homers by Joe Stripp and Glenn Wright and Lefty Clark's pitching beat the Phils. In the other National League game, St. Louis defeated Cincinnati, 3 to 1. HOOSIER GRIDDER STARS By Times Special WEST POINT, N. Y.. Sept. 21. Ken Fields, former Elkhart (Ind.) high school star, appears certain of a regular half back berth with the 1932 Army eleven. He has starred in early practice sessions. Fields is expected to do part of the kicking and passing.

full of energy, spurring his team on to the limit all through every game.’’ If Hartnett can measure up to those fine words in the world series, Bill Dickey may have to do some hustling to carry off the individual catching honors. Hartnett is the inspirational type of player who might rise to heroic heights in a short series. Hartnett has played considerably better during the last seven weeks under Charlie Grimm than he did under Rogers Hornsby earlier in the season. During the last road trip he was one of the big guns in the Cubs’ attack, driving out half a dozen home runs which proved timely. Erratic on Close Plays There are some who say Hartnett can’t make a close play at the plate, that he will either miss the runner, drop the ball or otherwise gum up the play. This suspicion was partly demonstrated Tuesday against the Pirates when he had three plays in succession at the plate, and failed to get the runner in two of them, once being bowled over by Tony Piet, Pittsburgh infielder. Bill Dickey had an unpleasant experience in trying to block a runner this season which he will not forget soon. In a July 4 game against Washington, Carl Reynolds, Senators’ outfielder, charged into Dickey in trying to score. Losing control of himself, Dickey struck Reynolds in the jaw, breaking it in two places. For this attack the Yanks’ catcher drew a SI,OOO fine and a thirty-day suspension. Able to Stand Ground Dickey, however, is usually a mild, easy-going fellow and is not apt io go around socking Cubs in the world series. .If they come charging into him at the plate, he probably will be able to stand his ground with his 185 pounds on a 6 feet, I' 3 inch frame. The two second-string catchers, Arndt Jorgens of the Yankees, and Rollie Hemsley of the Cubs,’ the National League’s champion playboy, are not apt to figure in the series unless something should happen to Dickey or Hartnett. Jorgens has batted .215 in fifty-two games and Hemsley .231 in fifty-five games.
