Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.—Writing in the Harvard A. A. News, •Arthur Sampson, one of the back field coaches, says: "Seventy-five per cent of the major college games in 1931 were decided by the completion of a forward pass or passes at a crucial moment. With this as an established fact, is it any wonder that most major elevens today spend at least a third of the practice periods In the perfection and defense of this method of attack?” Th# gentleman's deductions mav be wholly rational anti accurate but the fact remain* t.v\t the forward pass, no matter how rtueh laboratory attention is devoted to Its perfection, is still the most uncertain phase of the attack In tht* connection. James Anspacher favor* me with the following: "Bv wav of dlvertlsement and thank youi and because ststitties are things you get from something no one ever reads to put into something no one ever will read I—"Well. X took the figures of the ten leading games over the week-end and calculated the forward pass dope with thi* thought in mind You sit In the stands and near people all around you say: 'Why don't they pass?' They say It with variations dictated bv the potency and amount of the bath tub extract they are carrying (lnalde them). "I picked ten games, to repeat, concentrating on the leading eastern contests. Had statistics of the hnid-west. far-west and southern games been available. I might have been able to show even more startling results, for It will be ohser\ed In the accompanying table that the most ground gained was in games between poorly matched rivals, such as ColgatePenn Btate. Purdue-New York university, Syracuse-Mlchlgan State, etc. "Here's the table. Have a look for yourselfl 1 S? $ o#mM l at U Pitt-No.tre Dame 32 10 5 81 Yale-Dartmouth 33 18 5 120 Harvard-Brown 17 7 3 85 Mlchlgan-Prlnceton .... 17 3 4 50 Purdue-N. Y.

"In these ten games an average of 23 passes were thrown and the average gain was only four yards plus. "Wherefore I ask: Considering the risk of loss of ball, not to say loss ot territory ano presentation of scoring chance to the Interceptor, is the pass worth the gamble? "Except, of course, at carefully spotted times when the defense is suitably set. "Anyhow here are a batch of fresh statistics—really, lady, we never carry anything but strictly fresh statistics—and they lend to show that the value and results obtained from passing are frequently overrated by the good people in the stands." # tt tt RIGHT off, it would appear that Sampson is arguing one thing and Anspacher is crowding him to the ropes in frenzied retreat under a barrage of contradictory figures. But this doesn’t happen to be the case. Suppose we concede that the average gain made through the air in all football games Is slightly less than five yards. This might easily be so. Indeed the figures seem to prove that it is. Okay! How, then, can Sampson be correct when he says that 75 per cent of your ball games are won in the air—you don’t win ball games on 5-yard forwards. Not as a steady practice, you don't. Anspacher’s statistics-show Is the difficulty in completing a sequence of passes In the ordinary game. What Sampson contends is that the forward pass or itself is a tremendous agency in scoring winning touchdowns. The apparent inconsistency here disappears when you are reminded that a team can miss twenty passes and still thp twenty-first for the only score in the game. 3

INDIANA POINTS FOR UPSET WIN OVER MICHIGAN

Pitt, Penn Meet Again Unbeaten State Rivals Renew Feud After Seven Years. By r nitrd Press PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Nov. 2.—Two of the greatest football teams ever turned out by the state of Pennsylvania will crash headon at Philadelphia Saturday, when the unbeated Pittsburgh Panthers and the University of Pennsylvania Quakers battle at Franklin field. It is only natural that Pitt’s 1932 eleven should be the favorite to win this renewal of hostilities with Penn after a lapse of seven years. Coach Jock Sutherland's team was strong and fast enough to bowl over the highly-touted Notre Dame Ramblers in the biggest upset of the season last Saturday, 12 to 0. The Panthers will be t full strength against Pennsylvania. The entire squad swung Into intensive preparation Tuesday for the game. The Quakers, although unbeaten and untied this season, can boast of no conquest approaching the magnitude of the Pitt victory over Notre Dame. They have rolled up 153 points against their opponents’ 13, almost the same figures as Pitts’ aggrecate 150 points against 13. But Penn’s only "formidable” opponents were Navy and Dartmouth. Purdue Gets Hard Practice By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 2—Remembering the trouble caused by A. A. Staggs’ recent Maroon elevens. Coach Noble Kizer and his Purdue eleven are taking no chances of a surprise at the Midway Saturday, when the Boilermakers tackle the "Old Man’s” strongest team in years. Kizer planned a long scrimmage on both offense and defense for today. The squad is in fine shape. CHICAGO. Nov. 2.—With Pete Zimmer, sparkplug of the Maroon attack, cavorting again in top style at half back after a week’s layoff due to injuries, Chicago’s hopes for a win over Purdue here Saturday are high. cooler In~cue Action Harry Cooler will make the second start in defense of his Indiana three-cushion billiard championship when he plays J.

Cruising in Sportland—with Eddie Ash

FOOTBALL is fickle. Jock Sutherland. Pittsburgh Panther coach, is being called the new miracle man of the gridiron, now that his team licked Notre Dame. A week before the Irish tilt the Panthers were held to a scoreless tie by Ohio State and old Jock was just another football coach. He issues copyrighted football game selections every week and picked both Ohio State and Notre Dame to beat his own team. He’s too smart to “go” for that miracle stuff they’re heaping on him. His team has four more games to play. an e Here s what the “miracle .coach’* said to his team between halves at Pittsburgh Saturday: “You are doing very well. Keep your eyes open and don’t be careless.” That was

Paul Wagner an3 Jimmie Shannon went four heats to an official draw, but Wagner appeared to hold the edge. Kid Carson, local Neero. thumped Johnnv Hammer in a six-round lightweight scrap and Roughhouse Blankenship had everything his own way over Pete Harris in another six. A small “paid" crowd witnessed the program, the first of the season at the Armory. An effort was made to attach the box office, for an alleged Judgment against Promoter McLemore. but It was shown that after the boxers were paid, little of the $343.50 gross receipts were left.

all. Then the Pitt boys went out and won. A short common-place speech of that sort removes the hocus pocus practiced by miracle coaches of story book and screen. a a o THE player limit in the major leagues next year is expected to be set at twenty-two. It was twenty-three this year and twentyfive before 1932. Some clubs would prefer cutting to twenty-one, but the big teams are sure to hold out for twenty-two, exclusive of the manager. Moreover, a change is planned in the division of world series player money. When the series is decided in four straight games the club owners are left holding the bag and they lose money, with the players receiving the largest slice of the receipts, all profit. It is said a plan may be worked out to pay the winning players a flat sum, say $4,000 to each winning player and $2,500 to each member of the losing team. tt a u Hotel Antlers will be headquarters for the Michigan university grid squad when, it remains over in Indianapolis Friday night before going to Bloomington Saturday morning to clash with the Indiana warriors in the important Big Ten fray.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

It’s Contract Time in Ruthville; How About That Red Sox Berth?

BY DANIEL M. DANIEL, N. Y. World-Telegram Sports Writer. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The time is getting close when Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, and Babe Ruth will have to go into a “huddle” and decide about the Barn’s future in baseball. In the past, when Ruth’s contract ran out, the Colonel and he had merely to negotiate anew agreement. This process nearly always was attenuated, but its issue never was in doubt. However, for 1933, we face anew situation. Not only must Ruth be

Dame 24 to 5 on that date in 1904. Evidently Carrie Nation, the Hatchet Woman, played in the Kansas back field that day and chopped big holes in the Notre Dame line with her brass rail and mahogany demolisher. a tt It was no fault of Coach Hunk Anderson that Notre Dame had three soft teams to play tag with before meeting the sturdy Panthers. The schedule was not of his making. However, it seems an unwise policy for any college coach to announce to the press the names of players demoted to second string immediately after a surprising defeat. Conditions may call for drastic shake-ups and the boys will take it and try to fight their way back, but It isn’t necessary to tell the world and bring embarrassment and heart aches to the young athletes. In a Big Ten game this fall we saw a coach jerk a half back instantly following a fumble. No mercy for the lad. and before a big crowd. Professional baseball managers are not that harsh toward paid veterans of the diamonds. It is said Lew Byrer of the Columbus (O.) Citizen, won all medals in the Pick ’Em League last week i by choosing Pittsburgh over Notre Dame, 10 to 7. So far, he’s the only expert found who guessed right on the Smoky City upset. PICKED OFF* THE WIRES Vin Sahlin, Chicago quarter back, swung a left-hook on Frank Froschauer, Illinois back, in the Chi-cago-Illinois game last week, but missed. The officials either didn’t see it or overlooked it, but “Old Man" Stagg took Sahlin out of the game. It is said Chicago will have another quarter back this week. The inside story on Texas’ 65 to victory over Missouri is that Clyde Littlefield, the Longhorns’ coach, had a score to settle with Frank Carldeo, Missouri coach, because the former Notre Dame quarter back took an unkind dig at Littlefield during a summer coaching school. The quick kick from close formation is one of tne best ground gainers in football. Jack Grossman, former Rutgers star now with the Brooklyn professionals, has it perfected and seems to be able to kick with one foot while backftig up with the other. Mickey McGuire, Wisconsin half back, is unusually good with this style of booting. It is said Notre Dame has the best freshman talent in history. Andy Pilncy, Chicago boy, who was eyed by more than one coach from coast to coast, and a kid named Sullivan from New York state are two of the standouts. Northwestern’s freshman team isn’t any slouch. Neither is Chicago's with several promising Ms from California on it. Pittsburgh’s 6-3-2 defense, which stopped Notre Dame, was copied from Army, which used it successfully against the Irish last year. Notre Dame lost both games by the same score, 12 to 0. Coach Bierman of Minnesota is said to have first seen the possibilities of such a defense against the Notre Dame system while coaching at Tufane. He used it with such success against Georgia and other southern teams coached by the late Knute Rockne’s pupils that Tulane did not lose a game in four years against the Notre Dame system. Dick Hanley, Northwestern football coach can’t cat on the dav bis bo vs pUv a big game. Incidentally. Hanlev thinks the Purdue Boilermakers have the best blocking larkficld he has seen In a long times Colgate seems to hare the best chance of anv major eleven in the country of completing the season undefeated and untied. Andv Kerr’s team has two soft ones in Mississippi college and Syracuse before winding up the season against Brown,

signed again, but there is the more important question as to whether he is to remain with the Yankees or accept the assistance of a Boston syndicate which would back him in the leadership of the Red Sox. It is understood that a group representing $1,000,000 in cash is willing to negotiate for the purchase of the Boston club if the Colonel will release Ruth, and the Babe will accept the Fenway responsibility. Ruth, nearing his thirty-ninth birthday, appreciates that he hasn't many more seasons in him as a regular. If he is to make a-change, it would be best for him to go while

Madigan. Denies Coaching Shift said “not interested” when queried on rumors linking him with Fordham as successor to Major Frank Cavanaugh. Madigan and forty of his Gael squad were here night en route to New York to play Fordham Saturday. He expressed satisfaction with his present post and refused to be drawn into discussion of the reports of a change at Fordham.

Turners Plan Drills for Amateur Boxing Talent

Candidates for the South Side Turners boxing team will begin working out for the winter season next Monday night at Turner gym under the direction of the veteran coach and trainer, Jimmy Dalton, former well-known professional fistic star. Drills will be held twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays. Youngsters interested are requested to report and, try out for the team. Indications point to a big squad and a busy season in the city, county and state tournaments. FREIDMAN IS CLEARED By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 2.—Joe F. Carr, president of National Football League, today had absolved Benny Friedman cf the Brooklyn Dodgers in connection with Friedman’s failure to appear for a game with the Cardinals at Chicago last Sunday. Carr said illness in Friedman’s family caused him to leave quickly without notifying his club. Scrimmage on N. D. Program By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 2 Notre Dame’s first team was due for > a hard scrimmage today in preparation for the Kansas game Saturday. The shock troops scrimmaged Tuesday and had trouble gaining on the freshmen. Captain Paul Host, Ben Alexander and Nick Lukats, all demoted after the Pitt game, remained with the second team. GIVES CHARITY $9,855 By Times Special BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.—A total of $9,855 was turned over to charity by the Pimlico race track officials after Monday's benefit racing. Nearly SIOO,OOO has been raised in seven charity day turf programs on Maryland ovals this year, and two more benefit programs are planned at Bowie on Nov. 15 and 16. GOPHERS TAKE IT EASY By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2. —Coach Bernie Bierman is allowing the Minnesota players to take it easy this week in order to point them for the two final games against Wisconsin and Michigan. The Gophers plav Mississippi Saturday.

Weger New Blue Hope Speedy Little Triple-Threat Back to Start Against Drake. Lefty Weger, the omnipotent little Butler back who was more than a triple-threat man against Franklin last week, will be the mainspring of Coach Fritz Mackey's attack against Drake at Fairview bowl Saturday. One of the missing qualities of the Butler offense all season has been speed, and by rushing the Peru flash into service. Mackey has accelerated his team play to a high degree. Although Jim , Stewart’s injured ankle will be ready for service, the big quarter bswk probably will not displace Weger, who stepped into the role of generalissimo in great style last week. Big Butch Eiser has been declared fit for battle and will add experience and weight to the line. Brandt is expected to remain at tackle in order that Bunnell may be used at the guard post which he handled last week. The Butler back field is functioning at its season's best both on offense and defense. Raber played one of the best games of his career in backing up the line and running interference against Franklin. With Bob Stewart plunging the line and Cecil Ray slanting off tackle, Butler has a formidable quartet of ball toters. Saturday's game with Drake, champions for the last four years, will mark Butler’s first appearance in Missouri Valley Conference competition. BLUE HARRIERS AT I. U. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Nov. 2. Indiana university’s cross-country team, victorious last Saturday over Purdue by a smashing score, meets its second Hoosier foe today when the Butler harriers invade the campus course here for a three-mile jaunt.

he still is regarded as an active outfielder. But the Babe is said to be averse to wrenching himself from New York, where he has been an outstanding sports figure since 1920. He’d like to be a manager, but he can not abide the thought of quitting his home and associations here. On the other hand, it is a question whether the Yankees are ready to let Ruth go. Those who would stand out for his berth if he went still are in the formative state, in so far as membership on a world championship club are concerned. The Boston project has tremendous possibilities. But the way the American League shapes up, it would take a few years of intensive effort—and a lot of money—to rebuild the glories of the old Red Sox. Is Ruth in the proper mood for so vital and difficult an undertaking? Among the men who stand out for possible promotion from the player ranks, Babe Ruth ranks No. 1 as a managerial potentiality. He knows baseball, both by experience and instinct. He has unquenchable spirit, rallying power, and the respect and admiration of his fellow players, both on the Yankees and the other clubs. And the 1932 Ruth can set the proper example to his men. He has been in strict training for several years. . It would be great if the Babe could step into a picture that would befit his rank. It would be tragic to see the Babe close his baseball career in a muddle, fighting tremendous odds, .the leader of a decidedly forlorn hope. With a winning club, Boston would be the ideal spot for Ruth. It was there that he first gained prominence. He would rekindle the fires of drama and interest. But would he be able to bring back the old days of success?

Crimson in Fine Form - \ % Hoosier Power Increased by Saluski’s Return to Action. BY’ VERN BOXELL • That annual surprise which Indiana U. elevens hand out to Big Ten dopesters may be dished up Saturday when Billy Hay's Crimson Warriors take on Michigan's unbeaten Wolverines at Bloomington. Michigan has won five tough encounters in a row, while the Hoosiers have been tied by Ohio State and beaten by Chicago. But Indiana appears to be getting stronger, while the Wolverines, worn by their early struggles, are fading. Michigan showed signs of slipping last week against Princeton after one of the toughest October schedules encountered by any team in the country. Saluski Regains Form Michigan tried six plays from scrimmage in the first half of the Princeton game, and gained eight yards. A blocked kick got the Wolverines one. touchdown in the second half, and a fifteen-yard penalty put them in position to score the other. Meanwhile. Indiana's running attack was stepped up a notch with the rejuvenation of blond Stan Saluski, who accounted for two of threa touchdowns against Mississippi a, and M. last Saturday. With Jess Babb, elusive little Negro, and Don Veller, sophomore flash, ready to go, the Crimson ball-toting department is all set. Good Pass Throwers Bob Jones and Otis Edmonds, both scaling near the 200 mark, will take care of the line-hammer-ing, passing and punting. And they are effective in all these departments. Edmonds’ 50-yard pass to Lyons in the Chicago game is one of the standout plays of the season. Gene Opasik at quarter back gives the Hoosiers another stellar pass-flipper. Blocking, one of Indiana's weak-* nesses in early season tussles, is being improved by Hayes this week, and the work of Stickman, Saluski and Sawicki in paving the way lor ball-toting mates has encouraged the I. U. coach. The one disappointing note from the Crimson camp is the announcement that Ed Anglemeyer, 195pound tackle star, may be kept on the sidelines by an attack of flue. The rest of Indiana’s forwards, first and second string, are ready to Rttempt a repetition of the fine performance of the Ohio State struggle. I. U. Is Under Dog Indiana will go into the Michigan fray the underdog, and Coach Hayes and his pastimers are not underrating the Wolverines’ strength. Hayes ranks the Kipke performers the best in the midwest and one of the best in the country. His chief job this week is to build a defense capable of stopping the plunging of Regeczi, Petroskey and Stan Fay, who is back in action after an injury, and the accurate passes of that ace tosser, Harry Newman. Two weeks have been devoted by the Hoosiers to preparing for this game. That’s why many believe the Crimson have a surprise up their sleeve for Saturday.
