Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 31—Of all sports, professional or otherwise, I think football is the least amenable to reason. Or should I 'y to expert reason? do not mean to spoof the ex--its. Exporting in any line is a tough racket. You will note that even the theatrical experts do not always bat 1.000 per cent. Why bring them in? Well, the theatrical experts do their predicting AFTER the show, not BEFORE. And yek— Football Is probably the most exceaaively exported of all aports. Anybody can be a football expert and practically everybody la. There la one particular set that professes to be more expert than any other set—and that la tne professional coach who writes tor the newspapers. Certainly by now everybody must know that the newspaper experts are merely In there guessing and trying to do the best they can with tongue in cheek. There were a lot of big games over the week end. How many of these games did the super experts pick correctly? I haven’t made a thorough checx of all the 'super experts, but did any of them pick Pittsburgh to beat Notre Dame? Or U. C. L, A. (and I’ll bet that nine out of ten football fans do not even know that U. C. L. A. means the University of California of Los Angeles) to beat Pop Warner’s Stanford team? Don’t let me stop with those two games •—or upsets, as they are called when they don't happen to harmonize with the advance dope. How about Boston college beating Fordham? Didn’t I read a couple of weeks ago that there were so many great football players at Fordham that Major Frank Cavanaugh couldn’t get them all on one team—that he had to build two first teams? Was this Just a little free and loose ballyhoo? tt a tt AND how about Harvard? Didn’t Eddie Casey tell the Harvard Club in front of my own very ears *two weeks ago that he had a team that would make trouble for anybody in the east, or words to that general effect? Eddie did and I thought it was very courageous of him to say as much, considering how these professional coaches like to cry in their soup. I remember saying to Eddie: "You certainly put yourself on the spot tonight. You knOw what that speech means don t you—it means you gotta win all your gimmes, ’’ Eddie answered' "Perhaps I was a bit dumb but I really have a good team, gnd It will take a great team to beat us." Well. Brown must have a great team. The Red Shirts didn’t get any closer to the Brown goal than the 33-yard line. The super experts picked Harvard to win by two touchdowns. As the game was played Casey’s men were never In It. They might as well have been selling pennants on the sidelines. Brown has beaten both Yale and Harvard. No team has a more difficult schedule to finish, what with Holy Cross, Columbia and Colgate coming In a row. Brown is unbeaten up to date. If the young men from Providence can keep bat- , tl n K 1.000 per cent they are going to have plenty to say about the eastern . championship. Do you want a super-super-super expert’s tip? They are going to be knocked off next Saturday, so help me, Gregory P. Choynski. There were a number of other games the high pressure experts failed to call the turn on last Saturday. i I’ll admit you have no right to expect a perfect record but they ought to turn in a fair percentage of winners in the tough games either that, or come right out and confess that they are merely guessing like the rest of us.) it tt tt AS I say there were other games that didn’t turn out strictly according to the way the high priests told us they would, but none of these surprises shocked the boys and girls around the country quite as much as did the Notre DamePittsburgh result. Now, there was one game that just couldn’t be lost. It was simply a question of how many touchdowns Notre Dame wanted to make. I saw the Panthers beat Army and I didn’t think they looked anv too great. In fact, I thought they were rather luckv to win, I remember the one thing I liked particularly about them was that When thev had to go out and get a .touchdown to win they did it—and without delay. Perhaps I discounted that old urge-to-wln-spirlt. And there’s a chance, of course that thev played no harder to win than thev had to. A week later these same Panthers went against Ohio State. Now. even in Columbus. the drug store quarter backs do not claim that the Buckeyes are the best team In the Big Ten. Thev haven't won a game from a big time competitor since the season started. Indiana held ’em 7-7. So did Wisconsin. But the Panthers couldn’t even score on ’em. The score was 0-0. Meanwhile. Notre Dame had beaten Haskell. 73-0: Drak(* 62-0. and Carnegie Teen, 42-0. Another wonder team in South Bend. Who said Hunk Anderson was not another .Knute Rockne? In short, clear the tracks for a national football championship—and will somebody please take time out and tell me what a national foot- • ball championship Is? Well, vou know what happened. The team that just did beat the Army and could not even score against Ohio State (which had previously been beaten by Michigan 14-0) turned back Notre Dame, the wonder team. 12-0. All praise to the Panthers. But do •not let nnvbodv sav thev beat a wonder “team and in consequence thev must be a five-star special wonder team themselves. Thev beat a hartlv overrated team. There is no such thing as invincibility in anvbodv’s football system. There is no such thing as magic in anv football formula. And there is no such thing as a • monopoly of football spirit in young men anywhere.

A fumble on the 12-yard line gave Lee and Jay its chance to score in the first period, Councleman crossing the line. A drive from midfield, climaxed by a thirty yard pass to Woods, scored the winners’ marker.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Cruising • in Sports BY EDDIP ASH

HUNK ANDERSON, Notre Dame coach, now knows how Charlie Grimm felt when the Yankees finished kicking his Cubs around. The so-called steam roller ran out of steam. Notre Dame pastimers seemed to lack physical perfection and were outlasted in endurance by the clawing Pittsburgh Panthers. This Michael John Sebastian, the Sharon (Pa.) streak with the Panthers, is so good he got Captain Reider’s job. Mike John was labeled a substitute at the start of the season, but he couldn't be kept out of there. Therefore, the Pittsburgh publicity department announced that Captain Reider was on the injured list. Reider got into Saturday’s game in the closing seconds of play, while Sebastian pranced off the field amid the cheers of the multitude, 60,000 more or less. 0 tt tt Old-time grid fans of Hoosierland are giving three cheers for a former midwest hero, Bill Spulding, who used to captain the Wabash Little Giants when they were at their pinnacle. Spaulding’s team supplied the major upset in the far west Saturday by trouncing Pop Warner’s Stanford eleven. Old Bill is the coach at the University of California (southern branch) at Los Angeles (not the Trojans of Howard Jones that play Notre Dame). And it was only last year there was a movement set in motion out there to fire Spaulding and hire Pat Page. tt tt tt MICHIGAN probably is wondering this week if it is going to be the next victim in the upset league. The Wolverines were not so hot against Princeton Saturday and they have Indiana to worry about the coming Saturday. The Hoosiers usually are good for one big surprise each year. The Wolverine fracas in Bloomington is expected to attract a packed house. Minnesota other menace in the path of the Ann Arbor machine. The Gophers are coming fast. tt tt tt The flashy performance staged by Paul Moss of Purdue in New York kept his name in the headlines and he is well on the way to grab off an all-America berth at end. tt tt Forty thousand seats, formerly priced at 52.75, will be sold for sl.lO at the Michi-gan-Chicago game at Ann Arbor Nov. 12. Only at "key” games are the customers turning out this fall in large numbers. tt tt tt THE moaning heard among Butler university followers last week was answered by the Bulldog warriors with a surprising anil decisive victory over Franklin. The players merely erased that Wabash trouncing out of their minds and sent the Franklin Grizzlies back on Jheir heels. Franklin held Wabash : to a scoreless tie, Wabash beat Buti ler 34 to 0 and Butler trounced Franklin 14 to 0. The courage of the Bulldogs was at its height on home-coming day. It will be Bulldogs vs. Bulldogs at the bowl this week, with Drake of Des Moines coming to town. The Michigan squad will work out at the bowl Friday and remain over in Indianapolis | Friday night and go to BloomingI ton Saturday morning. tt tt St When the local Washington high school opened several years ago one of the names | suggested for its athletic teams was "Cherries.” The name Continentals was chosen and later the official school name | was changed to George Washington. It so ; happens now that a lad named Cherry is doing a lot of spectacular football playing i for the George Washington eleven. He j will be 'the chief threat for Technical to j watch when Washington and Tech clash j in the charity game at Butler bowl Friday, Nov. 11. tt tt tt Football fans unable to attend the Notre Dame-Southern California game in Los Angeles, on Dec. 10, may see it on the screen. The game will be filmed in its entirety, according to Jack L. Warner, vicepresident of the Warner Bros, studios, which have secured exclusive motion picture rights.

Irish Steam Roller Falls Apart; Purdue Gives East Show of Power

BY DICK MILLER These Pennsylvanians have some sort of a sign on the Irish. It was back in 1926 that the late Knute Rockne discounted a Carnegie Tech team and sent his charges over to Pittsburgh to take a licking when they had a national title within their grasp. While Rockne took in the Army-Navy struggle in Chicago, Carnegie upset Notre Dame. Last Saturday, when football fandom the nation over was discussing the Irish as the 1932 national champions, Jock Sutherland and his Pitt Panthers stepped up to give the prognosticators as big ~ kick in the pants as they have received since 1926. They whipped the Irish 12-0. But there is happiness in parts of Hoosierland today. How about that Purdue 34-9 score over New York U? It was the worst beating N. Y. U. ever took save the 34-7 crushing at the hands of Rutgers in 1924. The easterners who saw the game say coach Noble Kizer’s boys had everything. The Boilermaker school warriors have scored

Sectional Grid Prospects. Changed by Big Upheaval

BY JOHN LAW Former Notre Dame Football Captain (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 31. The crystal gazers of football are around picking up the pieces of their glass globes today after Saturday’s almost unprecedented gridiron upheaval, and as they patch the pieces together, new alignments of tedms are made before attempting new selections. The games of the week-end ran the gamut of improbabilities from Notre Dame’s breath-taking first defeat by Pittsburgh to Yale’s unbeSt. Mary’s Is - Undefeated By Times Special SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 31.—The Galloping Gaels of St. Mary’s continued their march toward national gridiron honors Sunday by turning back a fighting university of Santa Clara eleven, 14 to 13, in their fifteenth annual conflict before 60,000 persons. Trailing 13 to 0 at half time, Slip Madigan's pastimers pushed over two touchdowns in the third quarter and Jorgensen, left tackle, booted two extra points through the uprights to keep the St. Mary’s victory string unbroken. Immediately after the game the Gaels boarded a train for New York, where they play Fordham next Saturday. Cathedral and Attucks Bow City high schools dropped two decisions in Saturday tussles. Joe Dienhart’s Cathedral pastimers bowed to Kirklin, 13 to 7. Bob Price, husky full back, led the victorious Kirklin rally after Rohr had scored for Cathedral in the opening quarter. A blocked punt in the third quarter, which resulted in a touchdown, robbed Crispus Attucks of victory, the local Negro eleven losing to Central of Louisville, 7 to 6- Clark scored the local touchdown in the third quarter. PIMLICO RACES START By Times Special BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.—Pimlico’s twelve-day fall race meeting opened today, with proceeds, including all purses, from the initial program going to charitable organizations.

in every one of their last thirtyseven games. Moreover, they are undefeated this year. Indiana university trounced Mississippi A. and M. gridists, 19-0. It was an intersectional battle at Bloomington. Another Hoosier team, Valparaiso, remained among the few undefeated teams of the nation by taking Defiance (O.) college into camp, 31-13. If you don’t think the Hoosier fan well realizes anything can happen in football he will quote you the score, Butler, 14; Franklin, 0. The Bulldogs a week ago took a neat lacing at the hands of Wabash. 34-0, and had half their regulars on the bench with injuries. However, they rallied before a home-coming group of admirers and played with a never-give-up spirit that swept Franklin off its feet. No one hardly expected the Wabash team to defeat Miami and the homecomers who also were celebrating centennial year at Crawfordsville gained their kick from watching the Ohioans who last week staged a nation-wide upset by

lievable first victory over Dartmouth. Important teams rtm to form only in the south. After analyzing the mess, we find that the situation in the various sections might be summarized as follows: EAST-Pittsburgh, Colgate. Columbia Pennsylvania and Brown are the major undefeated leaders, with Pittsburgh looking the strongest after Saturday’s sensational victory. Colgate, however, has great possibilities, and is unscored on. BIG TEN—Michigan leads the conference, but Purdue threatens to take a hunk of the title if the Wolverines are beaten or tied, and that very thing might happen when Michigan bumps into Indiana next Saturday and Minnesota on Nov. 19. SOUTH Auburn, Tennessee, Virginia Poly, and Louisiana State are undefeated and untied in conference games, with the race thrown wide open to the four aftjr the close shaves received by Auburn and Tennessee Saturday. SOUTHWEST Texas university and Texas Christian are the only undefeated teams in the conference, with the University Longhorns slightly favored. BIG SlX—The conference race is between Nebraska, defending champion, and Oklahoma. following Kansas State’s elimination by Nebraska Saturday. PAClFlC—Southern California and U. C. L. A.- are running neck-and-neck for the conference title, the latter having put in a strong bid Saturday by beating Stanford. Each has three opponents to meet, but they do not play each other. Both are formidable teams and may share the title. U. S. C. is unscored on.

♦ Sports of Long Ago ♦ * * tt „ LOCAL BALL CLUB FOLDED UP IN 1890 ' By EARL M’KEE

THE season of 1890 was a hectic, one for Indianapolis baseball. This city was a member of the Na-' tional League and the club was under the ownership of John T. Brush the previous season. The players assembled here on March 17 to work : out under the leadership of Jack Glasscock, manager. Brush was in New York. ' The Brotherhood had lined up a new league and had gobbled up many of the best players. On March 23 Glasscock received a telegram from Brush reading: “We have withdrawn our membership. Buckley, Sommers, Rusie, Bassett and ! Glasscock, Denny, Bassett and others expected to go to New York.'' j Indianapolis and lanother team had been dropped by the National League, it being believed a ten-club loop too unwiedly to fight the Brotherhood. On June 4, Indianapolis obtained the franchise of Galesburg, (111.) in the Interstate League. The first game here was played at the old Seventh street j grounds and the locals lost to! Evansville, 8 to 0. The interstate i was a six-club loop, the other teams being Peoria, Burlington, Terre I Haute, Quincy and EvansvilleThe local lineup for the opening I game in the league was as follows: O'Leary, cf; Schaub, 3b; Weihl, lb;! Donovan, If; Newman, ss; Lyon, rs;: McKenna, 2b; Sharp, c; and Sow- j ders, p. The fans displayed little' interest, and on July 3 there was a strike of the local team, the players refusing to take the field until they i received their pay checks. The game was finally forfeited to Evansville when no money was forthcoming. Somehow things were patched up, and the team continued to play until July 9, when the players split the box office receipts and the team folded up. Out of twenty games

dropping Ohio university a week after the latter had trounced Navy. Wabash played well, but that Miami forward wall was tough. The score was 33 to 0. The De Pauw Tigers will be in fine fettle when they reach that annual Wabash battle Nov. 19, because they revealed a fast improving attack when they set down the Earlham Quakers Saturday, 32-0, without even one minute service from their star ball carrier, Don Wheaton. Bradley filled his shoes a punch on the chin. Bradley filled his shoes in fine style Saturday with two touchdowns. Piper Is Star Red Meyers, the great passer of Ball State, starred in defeat as he tossed the oval in every direction to keep Manchester always in danger, but the scoring punch was absent. Manchester, on the other hand, had its great little runner, Captain Piper, on the front line, and he crossed the goal twice and Yarger once to give the Chesters a 20-0 victory. Pittsburgh gained 199 yards by rushing against 142 for the Irish and the difference is found in that great run by Mike Sebastian for forty-five yards in the last quarter that turned what appeared to be a scoreless tie into a Panther win. The Sebastian gallop threw Notre Dame off stride and Dailey intercepted an Irish pass and ran for a second touchdown. In New York Duane Purvis ran like a marathoner as he galloped 72 yards for one or Purdue’s early touchdowns. Roy Horstmann and Jim Carter went into the packing business as they butchered the Violet line and no one played any better than big Paul Moss who captured a pass for a touchdown and also booted in wonderful style all afternoon. Down at Bloomington Stanlely Saluski couldn’t be stopped and averaged five yards and better. Edmonds also was a ground gainer in the pinch, and those two lads accounted for three Crimson touchdowns. Hanover Gallops Valparaiso breezed through Defiance and three substitute backs scored touchdowns for the Uhlans. Coach John Van Liew’s Hanover team continued to show improvement and this week it was Oakland City that fell before the Hilltoppers in a home-coming tilt at Oakland City. The score was 26-0.

Indiana Is Next Foe Pitt Upset Didn’t Surprise * Irish Coach: He Expected It. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—With Notre Dame beaten and Purdue tied. Michigan will enter November as the outstanding football team in the midwest. Michigan has won five straight battles and appears headed for at least a tie for the Big Ten title, and the recognition as one of the nation’s strongest teams. After defeating Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohib State and Illinois, the Wolverines had their closest call of the season last week from Princeton's rejuvenated team. Princeton, although accorded little chance of winning, led at half-time. 7 to 2. and pushed Michigan to the limit to triumph, 14 to 7. Michigan invades Indiana U. next Saturday. • Pittsburgh’s 12-to-0 victory over Notre Dame, which had overwhelmed its early opposition, was the year’s biggest football upset to every one except the Notre Dame coach. Heartly (Hunk) Anderson. Anderson Warned Players "I didn’t get any sleep at all last week,” said Anderson on his return to South Bend. “I expected some- ! thing like this to happen because all | the psychology favored Pitt. I amjpb ! going to get some rest this week so I can start worrying next about ; Northwestern.” Notre Dame players took all the | blame for the defeat, and admitted I they refused to take the game seriously. “Hunk Anderson told us all Pitt would be tough,” said Captain Paul Host. “And he said even as far back as the opening of practice in September that the Pitt game would be one of the toughest on the schedule.” Purdue Plays Chicago The two Big Ten leaders. Michigan and Purdue, will resume their drive for the conference championship this week after their successful intersectional competition last week. Purdue invaded the east and smashed New York U„ 34 to 9, with Duane Purvis, Paul Moss and Roy Horstmann running wild.

With the score tied 7 to 7 Captain Gil Berry returned a punt seventy-|pl five yards for the winning margin. It was Illinois’ first Big Ten victory since 1930. Surprises cropped up in the other two Big Ten games with Minnesota scoring a fourth period touchdown to beat Northwestern, 7 to 0, and Wisconsin holding Ohio State to a 7-to-7 tie a week after the Buckeyes had held Pitt to a scoreless tie. Gophers Rap Wildcats An 18-yard pass from Pug Lund I to Bob Tenner, both sophomores, ; accounted for Minnesota’s winning touchdown over Northwestern near the end of the game. Ohio State outgained Wisconsin a two hundred yards to thirty-seven, but could get no better than a draw. Wisconsin scored its touchdown on a 65-yard punt returned by Marvin Peterson, sophomore half back, tp match the Buckeyes’ touchdown by Mike Vuchinich, full back. Indiana, playing without its two Negro stars, Fitzhugh Lyons and Jesse Babb, easily won from Mississippi State, 19 to 0, Stan Saluski and Otis Edmonds running wild. Eight of the ten conference teams will return to Big Ten competition this week, with only Minnesota and lowa playing outside the circuit. * Minnesota has an intersectional game with Mississippi U. at Minneapolis and lowa plays its annual game with Nebraska.
