WILDCAT-IRISH CLASSIC TOPS BIG MIDWEST GRID CARD

Fireworks Expected When Rivals Tangle 52,000 May See South Bend Struggle; Wisconsin Faces Minnesota, Pitt Invades Nebraska and Ohio State Entertains Penn in Other Features. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—Four of the nation’s outstanding: football games, involving leaders from the east, midwest, Big Ten and Big Six, will be played on middle-western gridirons Saturday. No. 1 on the list is the colorful Notre Dame-Northwestern battle at South Bend, which will come close to taxing the brown brick stadium near the golden dome of its 52,000 capacity. Wisconsin and Minnesota, oldest Big Ten rivals, will hold the conference spotlight with their contest before 35,000 at Madison. The other two important games are intersectional battles between P ttsburgh and Nebraska at Lincoln and Ohio State and Pennsylvania at Columbus. Michigan and Purdue, the two unbeaten Big Ten leaders, are expected to continue their victorious campaign by winning from Chicago and lowa, respectively. The other Big Ten game brings together Illinois

and Indiana at Champaign. The fact that both Notre Dame * and Northwestern have been beaten has taken little of the edge off the twelfth game of their 43-year-old series. Some of the most vicious gridiron conflicts in recent years have been between Notre Dame and Northwestern, with the Irish usually winning but always forced to give everything they had to conquer the Wildcats. They played a sensational scoreless tie last year. Purple Wastes Power Notre Dame, after the Pitt defeat, is gathering power for its remaining important games against Army and Southern California, and is expected to beat Northwestern by a comfortable margin. Northwestern is perhaps 50 per cent stronger than its record reveals, and has wasted more energy than any team in the west. If the Wildcats should happen to click with their passes, and shake off their appalling case of fumblitis, Notre Dame will be in for one of its toughest days of the year. The Minnesota-Wisconsin rivalry, which dates back to 1890, will be renewed under two new coaches, Bernie Bierman of the Gophers and Dec Spears of the Badgers, both in their first year. Additional interest is added to the game because of the fact that Spears formerily coached Minnesota. Gophers Arc Favored Minnesota is slightly favored, but Wisconsin has been doped to lost more than once this season, and the only team to beat the Badgers has been Purdue, 7-6. Pittsburgh, conquerors of Notre Dame and Pennsylvania the last two weeks, can't afford to let down against Nebraska, which has lost only one game—that to Minnesota by a one-point margin, 7-6. Coach Dana Bible has been pointing his team for Pitt, and promises a surprise if his great half back, Mathis, is able to go the route. Indiana U. Choice Ohio State, which has developed into one of the best teams in the Big Ten after a slow start, should put on a spectacular offensive battle with Penn, which was unbeaten until the 19-12 Pitt setback last week. Although Chicago is a decided underdog in the battle with Michigan, the Wolverines may be caught overconfident and slightly battered after last week's fierce struggle with Indiana. The Hoosiers also may show the effects of that game in the fray with Illinois, but E. C. Hayes squad remains the favorite. Purdue just packs too much power for lowa.

Tech-Washington Fray Tops Four-Tilt City Prep Menu

Washington’s battle with Tech, in which the West Side Continentals hope to clinch the city high school championship, topped today’s local prep football program of four games. The east-west rivals tangled on a slippery gridiron at, Butler bowl this afternoon, with proceeds of the game going to the city emergency relief fund. A victory for Washington, unbeaten by a local rival, will give them an undisputed claim to the city title. Led by Cherry, brilliant half back, the Continentals were slight favorites. Both teams were repoi'ted at full strength. Shortridge, pointing for the Tech battle next Friday, was down for a

Harper formerly was a crack grid coach, at Wabash and Notre Dame, and he figured out a lot of plays that dumbfounded enemy teams. Knute Rockne was his pupil.

ON account of the low finances of the Cincy Reds, resulting from poor business the past season, the Ohio team will go along without an official coach next year, it was announced today by Owner Sidney Weil and Ownie Bush, new Redleg pilot. One of the older players on the team will be used in this capacity. Bush will be on the coaching lines himself and one of the veterans will work opposite him. Mickey Doolan, 1932 Cincy coach, has been released. When, and if, the depression lifts, a regular coach will be employed again. a a a THE Cincinnati Enquirer gave Bush a fine send-off in its columns today following official announcement late Thursday to the effect Bush had accepted a one-year contract to pilot the Reds. The Enquirer said, in part: “Bush is a leader of the forceful and aggressive type. He was a fighting ball player, and he always has been a fighting manager. Not too severe with young players, be insists on discipline and is never afraid to enforce the rules of the club on any offender, no matter how popular he j may be. He is active on the coaching lines, and the fans are sure to like his winning style. He will insist on his own ideas being carried out to the limit and will brook no interference from executives or fans. He hr.s the nerve to stand on his ov.n feet and take the consequences.” ft a tt THE veteran Muddy Ruel, who has seen service with six big league clubs, was made a free agent by Detroit today. He was at his best when he was first string catcher 1 with Washington several years ago. I Ruel served more than ten years | in the majors and is now privileged to negotiate for his own job. All I major teams passed up waivers on ! him. Ruel was a great receiver | and smart baseball man in -his day, although rated just fair as a hitter.

According to one story, Mrs. Bush accompanied her famous son to the front door when he was ieaving for his last conference with Owner Sidney Weil of the Reds and she said: “Ownie, you sign. You’re no busher and I don’t want you to be filling any busher jobs.” v Weil then assured Bush the several stars on the Red roster would be retained or used in deals suggested by Ownie, and the little Hoosier inked his name on anew big league conpwct. a a a The Big Four will conduct a football special to South Bend Saturday for the Notre Dame-Northwestern classic.

WHOEVER heard of a ‘‘lovely’’ football player? The answer, is at the University of Illinois in the person of Captain Gilbert I. Berry, the Abingdon (111.) assassin. Berry, a raging terror on the gridiron, has to bear the disgrace of what the girls call “classic features." He dashes up and down the gridiron all afternoon, and in the evening has to hear himself referred to as "handsome.” He runs the ends, he crashes off tackle, he hurls himself into an onrushing pile of interference all afternoon—and then on Saturday night must take the rap of being beautiful. The story of Gil Berry is marked by tragedy in the same measure that the sWy of Red Grange was full of financial success. He joined the Illinois ranks in 1929. Asa member of the freshman squad, he was hailed as “another Red Grange.” Gil leached the Urbana institution at the wrong time. Illinois had won the Big Ten championship in 1927 and 1928 and was up among the leaders in Berry’s freshman year. In 1930, the depression among football players started to set in at Illinois. Coach Bob Zuppke found himself searching for material. Berry seemed to be the only ball carrier he had. For two years the condition continued. Zuppke tried to find some sort of help for Berry in hi* voyages. The line was weak. There were no blockers like McMillan who had mowed down bodies in the path of Grange.

Purdue in lowa ’t est By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 11. Thirty-four Purdue pigskin pastimers departed today for lowa City, where they battle the Hawkeyes Saturday in the final Conference game away from home for the Boilermakers. With Jim Carter, sensational ball carrier, and Doxie Moore, veteran blocking back, both out of action and unable to make the trip, Coach Noble Kizer drafted four reserves to help out Hecker and Purvis at half back. Other members of the Boilermaker squad were in top shape and Purdue is a top heavy favorite to score an easy triumph. lOWA CITY, la!, Nov. 11. The same lowa line that started against Nebraska and a back field of Teyro, Laws, Schneidman and Page probably will start Saturday's game against Purdue. The Hawkeyes had a long session of pass defense Thursday. HOCKEY PLAY STARTS By United rrcss NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The professional league hockey season opened Thursday night.

BERRY was full of the old fight. In the Michigan game of 1931 he insisted on playing with a wrenched back. And In that game, though the Ulini was snowed under by a score of 35 to 0, Berry starred at punting, passing and running. If it hadn't been for h's deadly tackling, the score might have reached clearing house figure,*. This year, it's a little different at Illinois. The line is a bit stronger and Zuppke has developed some backs who know about blocking. In the recent Wisconsin game, which Illinois lost, 20 to 12, the handsome gridder grabbed the spotlight. He took the opening kickoff on his own 11-yard line and scampered through the whole Badger team for eighty-seven yards before going out of bounds on the 2-yard line. His next run came after receiving a punt. He ran to the Wisconsin 39-yard line. On the next play he passed to Froschauer, who beat it across the goal. % Thus he accounted for the team's two touchdowns. Who could ask for anything more "lovely" from one man? All of this “beautiful" business, of course, is not of Berry’s desire. “It means little to me," he says, "and should mean nothing to anybody else. Being accepted as handsome is a detriment rather than a benefit, especially to me, because I am a football player." And he is a football player!

TECH football stock is back up again this year and the credit goes to John Mueller, veteran coach at the east side school. Mueller has developed teams that have won city championships and his current team was sailing along until it struck a snag in Manual and lost by one touchdown. The Green also lost to Muncie. However, the past three weeks have found , the Green squad pounding out victories and dopesters gave this eleven and even chance to beat Washington when they met at Butler bowl today in a city series game for the benefit of the local “emergency work” campaign.

Indiana Is Illini Foe By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 11.— Indiana U. football warriors were Champaign bound today to renew an old rivalry with Illinois U. in a Big Ten fray Saturday. Bernard Dickey, rangy end, made the trip but was not expected to see action. An injury received last Saturday probably will keep him on the sidelines, hampering the I. U. aerial attack. Two full back fields—the starting combination of Veller, Sawicki, Saluski and Edmonds, and Opasik, Sabik, Babb and Bob Jones, and three star reserves, Stickann, Tom Jones, and Dauer, were included in the squad of thirty-three making the trip.
