Wolverines’ Big Ten , Title Hop es at Stake Victory Over Gophers Will Give Unbeaten Kipke Eleven Crown; Boilermakers Still Have Chance, but Must Drop I. U. in ‘Bucket’ Scrap. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Preis Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Nov. 14.—The Big Ten football campaign will end Saturday with five Conference games on the schedule, the most important of which is the Minnesota-Michigan battle for the “little brown jug'’ at For Michigan, the game will mean more than retaining possession e little brown Jug." It means the Big Ten championship. If Michigan wins, the Wolverines will capture undisputed possession of the conference title. t ~,S houl?

Harry Newman, Michigan’s candidate for the mythical all-America quarter back berth, led the Wolverines to their fifth straight conference victory over Chicago, 12-0, by running back a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and making a 27-yard touchdown run from pass formation. McGuire Badger Star Wisconsin beat Minnesota in the last minute of play when Mickey McGuire, the Hawaiian half back, caught a pass from Joe Linfor and ran for the winning touchdown. McGuire had previously caught the opening kickoff, ran 87 yards for a touchdown, and caught a pass for a second touchdown. Notre Dame played its greatest game of the year to triumph over Northwestern, 21-0, in the fiercest football game seen in the midwest this season. George Melinkovich, Notre Dame full back, fumbled the opening kickoff, picked up the ball on the 1-yard line and ran 99 yards for a touchdown. A pass, Koken to Vairo, on fourth down with twelve yards to go was good for 22 yards and the second touchdown. A double spinner by Koken to Jaskwhich scored the third touchdown in the final period. This play was worked on fourth down with five yards to go to the goal line. Illini on Upgrade Illinois, definitely on the upgrade, after two years in the depths, upset Indiana, 18 to 6. Jack Beynon’s 61-yard run and Gil Berry’s passing and running featured the mini’s second conference victory of the season, more than they had won in the two previous years. Purdue’s Boilermakers hammered out a 18 to 0 victory over a gallant lowa team which has shown great improvement under careful coaching of Ossie Solem. A 40-yard pass, Purvis to Moss, was one of the high spots. Purvis was the leading ground-gainer with 190 yards in twenty-three attempts. Huskers Tie Pitt Ohio State battered down Pennsylvania, 19 to 0, in the first football game ever played between those two teams. Sid Gillman’s pass-catching and Marty Varner’s recovery of his own kickoff behind Penn’s goal for a touchdown were the features. Nebraska avenged its 40 to 0 defeat at the hands of Pittsburgh last year by holding Pitt to a 0-0 tie, and wrecking the Panthers’ hope for the national title. The lighter Cornhuskers outplayed Pitt, gaining 260 yards to the Panthers’ 161, and twice threatened to score. Pitt was never inside Nebraska’s 13yard line.

At times Jonah Goldman has looked good, but he has the bad luck to be overcome by the error jinx too often to suit the customers. The Indians were almost helpless trying for double plays last season and it is believed Manager Wade KJUefer will give his first attention to bolstering the team around the keystone bag. It is said one of Killefer’s plans calls for Frank Sigafoos to start the 1933 campaign at third base instead of at second. Siggie appeared at third in a few games this year and was not so hot there, especially in night tilts. He may be able to fill the bill, however, if assigned to the far corner from the outset. # tt TWO . of Cleveland’s oldest rival schools, Case and Western Reserve, recently met in their traditional encounter on the gridiron, and here’s what happened: Case rolled up 18 first downs to Reserve’s none; made 251 yards to 85; completed 5 passed to 1; suffered 25 yards in penalties to 70, and kept the ball in Reserve’s territory for 55 minutes of the 60-minute game —and yet lost 13-7.

Max Carey’s Brooklyn Dodgers plan to charge head-on into the depression and make their spring training trip compare with the happy days in Florida when the sky was the limit. With much talk heard in the big leagues about curtailing training expenses, the Dodgers have decided to do it the other way. Instead of shortening their trip, they intend to lengthen it by a week with the athletes assembling in Miami on Washington’s birthday. Writers in the east already are referring to the Flatbush boys as Max’s Merry Men of Miami. Their pre-season activities will extend over at least six weeks; regular league play not starting until the second week in April. tt a a BASEBALL magnates can become optimists over night and there are signs indicating several of the major owners are on the verge of changing their minds about slicing expenses. The Chicago White Sox have switched camps, from San Antonio to Pasadena, and the New York Yankees frown when somebody mentions drastic spring training cuts. They’re going back to St. Petersburg, and evidently intend to go to Florida at the customary time, late in February. There seems to be a feeling that baseball, in the majors, will do a comeback at the gate next season. tt a Billy Petrolic, the Fargo Express warhorse, has passed out of the lightweight fistic division and no longer will be a contender for the world’s 135-pound title.

Cummings averaged 90.40 miles an hour to shatter the mark of 78.94, set by Red Schafer at Syracuse, N. Y., eight years ago. Bob Carey, Anderson (Ind.) youth, who finished about 100 yards behind Cummings, clinched the national title, awarded on a basis of points won in A. A. A. races during the season.

Wabash and De Pauw Beat State Foes; Point for Rivalry Tussle
BY DICK MILLER The football birds are headed south, and while the coming Saturday generally regarded as the finale for the pigskin sport on Hoosier soil, several teams wrote their final efforts into the record books the past week-end. The two .big classics of Indiana grid wars, \irdue vs. Indiana and Wabash vs. De Pauw, are down for settlement next Saturday. Flushed with sweet victories last week, three of the four contestants pronounced themselves as fit for the tests. Only Indiana is faced with a comeback task, as the Crimson boys were knocked cold by the stunning setback, 18 to 6, at the hands of Illinois. ■** Billy Hayes’ warriors went sprawling before a group of lads who did everything right. Once underway, the Illini wiped out an early 6-0 Indiana lead and passed, ran and blocked their way to a trio of touchdowns. Purdue added another conference victim to its list, dropping lowa, 18 to 0, for the thirteenth victory in a row. It took the Boilermakers some time to get warmed up, but once under full steam they out-powered the Hawkeyes and won handily. The summary, as usual, gives the touchdowns to Horstman, Purvis and Moss. Paul Pardonner, the sterling little quarter back who collects points after touhedowns with unerring accuracy, received a knee injury early in the game that forced him out and may keep him from the Indiana game. The thousands who took in the Northwestem-Notre Dame fray at South Bend were given their money’s worth on the first kickoff, which Melinkovich ran back 98 yards for a touchdown. While the final count was 21-0. Notre Dame, it in no way reveals the action. Northwestern’s line was powerful although outweighed and the Irish were forced to take to the air to get their points. De Pauw found Franklin a tough foe to wear down, but a break on a blocked punt that resulted in a De Pauw touchdown and some inspirational play by Wheaton gave the Tigers the punch to grind out a 25 to 6 win. Their rival foe, Wabash, whitewashed Central Normal of Danville, 50 to 0, using every man on the Scarlet squad. Lon Goldsberry, assistant to Pete Vaughan, directed the Cavemen,

♦ Sports of Long Ago ♦ • * * HOW WISE TELEGRAPHER OUTSMARTED CLUB
IT was in the eighties of the last century. The Indianapolis base'ball club was a member of the National League, and games were flayed at the old Seventh street park. Even in those early days telegraphic accounts of all league games were sent all over the country. Asa result, of some argument tl)e local baseball management attempted to prevent the Western Union operator from sending out stories from the park, and the Western Union operator was barred. The operator was the late Frank Samuels, later local manager for the Western Union. Samuels immediately rented a room in a tower of an old-fashioned residence across the street from the park and installed his instruments. A fine view of the playing field was thus ob- , tain*l and the'wire stories continued going out.
