WASHINGTON, SHORTRIDGE.TANGLE IN CITY TITLE TUSSLE

Blue Seek Sixth Win Vet Continentals May Enter Friday Fray Slight Favorite. Unbeaten In five starts this season, Shortridge's powerful Blue Devils invade Washington field Friday afternoon to battle the highscoring Continentals in a game that may decide tlte city school pigskin championship. Each of the rivals holds a triumph" over a city foe, Shortridge turning back Cathedral, the 1931 city cham pion, while Washington knocked off Manual, 1931 city public school champion. Technical was removed from the title picture, at least temporarily, by the 12 to 7 loss to Manual last week. Although tied by Marion and beaten by Libbey high of Toledo, 0., Henry Bogue's west side eleven probably will enter the game a Slight favorite over Shortridge. Veterans predominate in the Continental lineup, and Bogue boasts a long list of capable reserves, both In the line and back field. Bob Nipper’s north siders represent the strongest machine turned out at Shortridge in several seasons. Led by Retterer and Mac Lucas, hard-driving backs, and Burnside, veteran end, the Blue Devils have shown improvement with each fray. A victory for either eleven may mean the city championship, although John Mueller’s Tech eleven still can cut in on the laurels. Tech will battle Washington in another city classic on Nov. 11, and the following week will renew' its old rivalry with Shortridge. Manual and Shortridge are not scheduled.

‘You’ll See Some Football When Purdue Hits N. Y. L..‘ Says Oliphant to Williams

BY WILLIAMS Sports Editor. New York World-Telegram NEW YORK. Oct. 25.—One of the representative teams of the Big Ten. Purdue, invades the metropolis the end of the week to see what can be done toward further de-emphasiz-ing football at New York university. Last Saturday the Red Raiders of Colgate struck a mighty blow for de-emphasis by completely outclassing the young men who are known as the Violets, and great indeed was the joy thereat in the cloistered study halls of the institution Foi N.

Violets —Not Shrinking

IT will be power against deception when New’ York U. and Purdue tangle in the east next Saturday. The Violets have built their bone-crushing attack around the three veteran backs you see here. Bob McNamara, mentioned frequently for all-America rating, is ranked as one of the east’s best punters and broken field runners. He's at the top left in the picture. Bill Abee, center, is Bob’s running mate at half back, and he’s a hard boy to knock down. Joe La Mark, lowe) - right, is captain, quarter back, and another star ball-toter.

The academicians intimate the ultimate goal in football at the university is to play the game informal y and without benefit of cash custo/ers. Possibly this explains the $4.40 tariff. I know of no better way to discourage wholesale attendance in these ripping times. Whether Purdue will be able to duplicate the Colgate triumph remains to be seen.

Other good eastern matches pair Temple with Carnegie Tech., Pennsylvania vs. Navy, Army vs. William & Mary, and Yale vs. Dartmouth.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

1932 Grid Toll Is 13 No College Varsity Players in List: One Frosh Is Killed. By United Prett NEW YORK. Oct. 25.—The 1932 “safety” rule changes seem to have abolished virtually the death list in chllege football, but they ha\p failed to halt fatalities in prep school and sandlot competition. With the season half over, the football death toll now stands at thirteen. None of these deaths occurred in a college game. The only collegian fatally injured was Martin Hugh Williams. 16, freshman at Loyola, New Orleans. He was kicked in the stomach when the freshman team was scrimmaging the varsity in practice Three school boys died from blood poisoning following minor football cuts or bruises. Four died of broken necks. The other fatalities were due to internal or head injuries. Leland Mclrvin, 16-year-old Minatare (Neb.) high school player, is the latest victim. He died Monday of a general infection w'hich followed .an arm bruise received in practice more than a week ago. lOWA INVADES EAST By United Prett lOWA CITY; Oct. 25.—10wa was to have its final practice today before leaving Wednesday for Washington, D.

of 1931 drew crowds totaling 127,000. This year’s opponents were Haskell, Drake and Carnegie Tech, while the 1931 games included the Northwestern and Pittsburgh features. The following figures, which give the total attendance at the best three games thus far this season and that of the best three games through the corresponding period last year, furnish a general indication of football patronage conditions : Team 1931 i 932 Stanford 165,000 147.000 Denver 35,229 32.187 Missouri 24,000 23,000 Kansas 32,090 25,500 Notre Dame 127,000 65,000 Northwestern 140,000 123,000 Chicago U 51,000 49.0(H) Tale 175,000 100,000 Harvard 67.000 64,003 New York U 96,000 77,000 These figures oq New York university are particularly interesting because the totals for each year included attendances at two of the same games, Colgate and Georgetown, and all games were played at Yankee stadium. Changes in the sites of games make considerable difference in attendance. For example, last year’s Stanford-University of Southern California, game, played at Los Angeles, attracted 85,000. But this season's encounter, staged at Palo Alto, drew 65,000. Western observers believe last year's crowd would have been duplicated had the game been played at Los Angeles. Midiwestern reports show that Big Ten games continue to draw large crowds where winning teams are concerned, but a general reduction is noticeable in contests involving weaker conference members. The southwest apparently is doing fairly well. The Rice-Texas game on Saturday attracted an overflow crowd of 19,000, resulting in the sale of much standing room. The south, where general price reductions have been made, is nearly holding its own. Reports from the Big Six area disclose slight increases in attendances, but the crowds of that area are small compared with those of the east, Pacific coast and western | conference areas.

The Violets played that kind of ball under Chick Meehan, and they seem to be playing the same kind of ball under Jake Cann. Fighting power with power, the Violets manage to go all right. But when they are thrown against a smart, speedy, inventive team like Colgate they can’t tell you what day it is. Purdue is not a power team. The Hoosiers go in for that hocus-pocus

♦ Cruising in Sportland ♦

ON Sunday, Sept. 25, the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies were warring in the last game of the season and at the start of the last half of the ninth the score was 6 to 3 in favor of the Quakers. It was the windup of a double-header and the Giants had taken the first tilt, 5 to 3. Up in Boston, with the single game at Braves’ field over between Boston and Brooklyn, a man in Beantown was on the constant alert to hear the outcome of the final game in New York. It was Bill McKechnie. manager of the Braves, who had been guaranteed a SIO,OOO bonus if his team finished in the first division. He could only tie the Phillies for fourth, if the Giants won the second game in New York, but was assured the small fortune would be forthcoming' nevertheless. He missed! The Giants lost. tt K tt Going; back to the Polo Grounds. In the Giants half of the ninth a batting rally started and the Giants pushed across two runs with one out and had runners on first and third. That made the game count 6 to 5 in the Phils’ favor, with the Quakers weakening rapidly and the Giants on a rampage. Evening shadows were at hand, but there were a few fans still hanging around figuring the umpires would let it go the remainder of the inning. Not so. Um-. pire Donnelly stepped out and called the game, putting the score back to the eighth. 6 to 3, Philadelphia. And Bill McKechnie’s SIO,OOO took flight with the night. The Phillies beat him out by six points. A New York victory in the final game would have taken one game out of the Phils’ win column and added one defeat in their lost column. The race finished, however, with the Phillies owning seventy-eight victories agzinst seventy-six defeats, and the Braves with seventy-seven victories and the same number of defeats. t t: a tt THE new backstop crop in the majors duriflg the 1931 season was unimpressive. Tom Padden with the Pirates made the grade as a fair receiver with a promising future, and Maple with Washington looked the part of a comer. Ed Phillips, who was used by the Yankees during Bill Dickey s absence, displayed sound skill and is expected to make the big league time eventually. Padden batted .263. but Maple and Phillips did not work in enough games to bring out their strong or weak points in hitting. B tt tt Rogers Hornsby has been signed by the St. Louis Cardinals, his big league ‘alma mater” where he reached the peak of his career as hitter and manager. He'i going to try to do a comeback on the infield or as pinch-hitter. Some niior experts now will sax: “Well, that move gives the Cardinals six managers, namely. Gabby Street, who rteeives the managerial pay envelope; Branch Rickev. Cardinal business manager, who is said to make it a practice of pouring orders to Street: Rogers Hornsby. who has a weakness for chiselinr. and the three player veterans. Frankie Friaeh, Jim Bottomley and Jimmy Wilson, all selfappointed lieutenants. tt a m VETERANS were in the majority in the lineup of the Minneapolis A. A. champions this year and old Rube Benton wasn’t alone as a venerable regular on the roster of the Bushmen. On the other hand u group of youngsters led the Portland Beavers to the Pacific Coast League pennant, also class AA. Six members of the Beavers were 23 or less, and five were regulars, as follows: Lou Finney, outfielder, 23; Fred Berger, outfielder, 23; Mike

John (Red) Compton, triple threat half back, and Cecil Ray. the little speed merchant. had leg injuries.

Harry Koss. guard, has torn shoulder ligaments. There was some cheer, however, when big Earl Elser, key man of the Bulldog line who missed Saturday’s Wabash fray due to illness, reported Monday. Pilate Sets Track Record By Timet Special LAUREL. Md., Oct. 25.—A new track record was tacked up Monday by Pilate. Andy Schuttinger’s crack runner, in the Glenwood Purse at the local oval. Ridden expertly by Tommy Malley, Pilate raced the mile and seventy yards in 1:414-5, clipping two-fifths of a second off a thirteen-year-old mark. In previous races, Pilate has been used in shorter sprints, but he fln- | ished Monday's race in good shape and well in hand. He led all the way, running the first half mile in | :47 3-5 seconds and the mile in 1:37 3-5. Skirwiii Plays Two Matches H.

Higgins, third baseman, 23; Joe Bowman, pitcher, 22; Hank McDonald, pitcher, 21. and Myer Chozen, shortstop, 19. tt a tt Larry Sutton, baseball’s oldest scout, has been retired with a pension by the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is 74. The veteran discovered many stars over a stretch of twenty-fire years huntipg “ivory.” He brought to the majors Nick Altrock. a great pitcher and now the ktng comedian of coaches. Sutton never played league ball. He also scouted at times for Reds, Tigers and Phillies. JIMMY AUSTIN, released recently by the Browns, was twenty-four years in the American League, twenty-two at St. Louis. He has been acting as coach for a long stretch. Jimmy was a star third sacker, smart hitter and one of the fastest men in the league.. He launched his big league career with the New York Americans in 1903. Austin served as manager of the Brownies part of 1913 and part of 1923. tt u tt Bert Shotton, rhief of the Phillies, say* a second baseman of the class of Frankie Frisch would have meant the pennant for Qualrertown this year. He is trying to land Mickey Finn of Brooklyn. Mallon, at the keystone bag, is the weak link on the Phil infield. Brooklyn offered Finn and Hack Wilson for Ray Benge. Quaker pitcher, and was turned down. Two Vtore mainstay hurlers and the Phillies surely will be up there, providing they bolster the keystone sack post. Mallon, Friberg and Delker saw service there this year. tt tt u MICHIGAN State eleven is the toast of all sports writers. Coach Jimmy Crowley of the Iron Men seldom clutters up thq. field with substitutes. He employed only fifteen warriors to beat the strong Fordham team last Saturday. The real iron in the makeup of Crowley’s gridders came to the surface in the finai quarter w’hen they rallied in the closing minutes of play and had enough wind and “go” left to run wild and finish on top, 19 to 13.M tt m After scoring the only touchdown of hi* football career. Engle, Pennsylvania center, had the misfortune to have it taken away from him by a mistake on the part of the referee who gave a blast on his whistle when there was no cause for calling back the play. A Pennsy gridder blocked a Dartmouth punt and center Engle grabbed the oval and ran arross the enemy goal line. Then the whistle ruined the heroic* of the Quaker center. Penn won anyway, II t* 7, but Engle was left in sobs. TRIS SPEAKER, now in Indianapolis on the business staff of "The Merry Widow” company at English’s, has been mentioned as prospective Boston Red Sox pilot. The Gray Eagle was a champion in his day as a slugger and fly chaser, and later as Cleveland manager. PURPLE TACKLE BACK By United Press EVANSTON. 1... Oct. 25.—Northwestern's line will be bolstered for the Minnesota game by the return of Bob Gonya, tackle, who was out of the Purdue game with a leg injury. Zuver and Heuss, who replaced Gonya at right tackle, played so well against Purdue they probably will be used against the Gophers, however.
