‘LITTLE’ MINORS SEEK DEBT CANCELLATION FROM MAJORS

Only Hope, Heads Say National Association to Discuss Matter at December Session. BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues is expected to move at its Columbus (O.) meeting, Dec. 7, 8 and 9, to have major league clubs cancel all debts owed them by ‘‘little’’ minor clubs, as the only salvation for many of the latter. * This project is not listed on the association’s program, but is probably will be the most important matter considered at the minor league meeting. Minor officials have been discussing the matter for some time. Many of the minor clubs, particularly in the lower grades, are so heavily in debt to major clubs that it is impossible for present owners, who haven't sufficient funds to operate the clubs properly, to sell them to men who have money. Most of these debts are for players sent down from the majors, and some of them are ten or more years old. Minor league officials believe that a clean sweep of the debt situation would bring new money and new blood into the lower teams, thereby bolstering the whole baseball picture. A special committee may be appointed to represent the Association in appealing for cancellation. If this committee is appointed it probably will appear at the National League meeting in New York on Dec. 13. In keeping with the Association’s campaign for economy, the meeting also will consider the reduction of salary and player limits for all classifications of leagues.

Zuppke Brings Illini Back to Former Niche Fighting Illinois Eleven, Doped to Finish Lash Proves Big Ten Sensation: Spears, Solem, Bierman and Stagg Also Produce Surprises. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—There have been tome remarkable examples of fine coaching in the middle west*this season, but Bob Zuppke, the “Little Napoleon” of Champaign, must be accorded the year’s honors for getting the most out of his material. Prospects weren t very bright at Illinois when the roll was called for candidates in September. The Illini didn’t win a conference game last year, and only one the year before. The material seemed little better, if any, than the two previous years, and Illinois was picked almost unanimously to ftnisn In the cellar with lowa, without a Big Ten victory. Here we find the Big Ten campaign approaching the season’s final and Illinois with a chance to finish in first division and a .500 per cent record. The odds are against Illinois upsetting Ohio State, the team that tied Pittsburgh and beat Northwestern and Pennsylvania in its last three games, but Zuppke’s boys are young and imbued with the winning spirit that flamed high back in 1928 and 1929, ,

Illinois started slowly. It won Its three warm-up games from Coe, Miami and Bradley, but suffered a rude setback against Northwestern, and then the next week was put to rout by Michigan. But with 58 points scored against them and unable to score themselves in their first two Big Ten games, the Illini foliowed Zuppke’s tireless teachings, and then in a flash found themselves in the third period of the Chicago game. With

His three-game total was 643. Shaw had 627 and Roberson, 619. while Rawley rolled 624 for City Candy. All other contests were decided two to one. Citizens Gas. Bader Coffee and Tip-ton-Lytle Cigar nosing out Coca Cola, Harper Bros.. Garage and Selraeir Towel. Other 600 counts were: Burgan. 601; Rice. 684; Bader. 613; McKinnon, 667; Lauer. 611. and Stemm. 630. The pep and spirit of the "Watch Us Make Progress” League of the Indianapolis Railways was displayed when all team members showed up for plav Wednesday night after battling the storm all day to keep traffic moving. C. Moxley seemed to have the most left, his 218 single game and 567 three-game total carrying off all high honors. The Partlow. Old Gold and Schmitt Insurance teams of the Indiana Ladies League won three from Klngan. Hoosler Pete and Coca Cola, as Van Camp faltered in the final after taking the first two from East Side Greenhouse. No 500 totals were rolled, but Huffheln and McGinty had a battle for high total, the former winning. 493 to 492. Malarkey was the outstanding star during the Antler Recreation League series, rolling games of 248. 190 and 211 for a count of 649. Somer one beat somebody, hut no team names appeared on the score sheets. Another match game will attract local fans Saturday and Sunday, when Eddie Streibeck and Jack Hunt roll Frank Hueber and Don Johnson a home and home series on the Central and Pritchett drives. The first half will be played Saturday at 2 p. m. at the Central and the final set at Pritchett’s. Sunday at 9 p. m. The Medical Society League gathers all the microbes each week, and if you think we are kidding Just read on. Ducrey won three from Spirilli: Puemucocci won two from Weisserian; Diplococci took three from Staplococci: Streptococsi won two from Bacilli as Fungi won three from Spirochetes. To sav the least the league Is auite "cocci.” A special medal award that permits high game scorer to wear it each week, has been donated by the management of the Central alleys. Dr. Ellis and Dr, Day have these honors to date. At the end of the season the player who scores the most high weekly games will become the permanent owner of this medal. Yes. Johnny Barrett again led the Film League plav, this week’s total showing their super star rolling 620. Team play resulted in an odd came win for Fox from Metro and a triple win for Warner from Universal. GRIMES IS RECOVERING ST.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the score 7-0 against them, the Illini found inspiration when Capt. Gil Berry, one of the greatest backs on any team, ran a punt back sev-enty-five yards for a touchdown. The UJini then scored another touchdown to win, 13 to 7. The next week they scored two touchdowns on Wisconsin, but lost, 20 to 12, and then last week beat Indiana, 18 to 6, the worst defeat handed the Hoosiers this season. Illinois loses Berry, Yanuskus and a few others this year, but watch out for the Illini next year. Army comes west to play Illinois, and Zuppke’s going to have a football team ready for the Cadets. Spears Revives Badgers In passing out palms for coaching achievements, W. C. (Doc) Spears of Wisconsin, Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, Ossie Solem of lowa and A. 'a. Stagg of Chicago, must not be overlooked. Spears took over a strange group of players and in his first season whipped them into one of the best teams in the west. The Badgers have lost only one game—that to Purdue, 7 to 6—and have improved by leaps and bounds every week. Bierman’s first year at Minnesota has been successful, regardless of the outcome of the Michigan game. The Gophers have lost only two games, to unbeaten Purdue, and to Wisconsin, 20-13, in the last thirty seconds of play. Bierman also has been handicapped by numerous injuries to some of his best players. Solem Is Building lowa has won only one game, the opener against Bradley Tech, but Solem is building for the future. The Hawkeyes scored their first Big Ten touchdown In two years against Minnesota, put on a great finish to lose by only one point to Nebraska and showed a great defense to hold Purdue to an 18-to-0 score. With only twenty-five players of varsity caliber and from two to six out with injuries every week, Stagg, “The Grand Old Man” of them all, has turned out another fighting team. It would be a fitting tribute to his forty-one years of coaching if the Maroons could rise to unexpected heights and beat Wisconsin. GREENBERGER IS BEATEN A1 Greenberger battles Reuben Cohen in tonight’s match in the state three-cushion billiard tournament at Cooler’s parlor. Harry Cooler, defending champions, defeated Greenberger, 50 to 30, in eighty-nine innings Wednesday.

Sixty Big Ten Harriers Meet By United Press LAFAYETTE. Ind., Nov. 17.

In addition to topping the field in team standings. Indiana is expected to make a strong bid for individual honors with Henry Brocksmith, defending champion, and Donald Neese.

Fifty-First Yale-Harvard Battle Regarded Tossup

By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Yale may be an 8-to-7 betting favorite over Harvard when the two teams meet Saturday before nearly 70,000 fans in the huge football bowl at New Haven, but most of the football experts regard the encounter as a toss-up. This fifty-first renewal of their traditional rivalry finds two of the east’s potentially strong teams facing each other with records that are equally spotty. Each was rated in early season estimates as an outfit that would go places. Each apparently had all the stuff that’s needed to make a winning team. But neither has fulfilled its potentialities—largely because of injury handicaps.

Santa-Carnera Go Short on Quality, Long on Quantity

BY HENRY M’LEMORE, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—1f quantity counts for anything, then the meeting between Primo Camera and Jose Santa Friday night should be about the greatest card Madison Square Garden ever offered. The boys haven't much quality, but there's no denying their quantity. The bureau of weights and measures puts Prime’s height at 6 feet and his weight at 260. Santa’s measurements, show him to be 6 feet 9 in height and 270 in weight. The Portuguese freak is so large, in fact, that Camera, whep asked what style of attack he planned to use, said, “I'll chop heem down to my size and then bust heem one.” Customers who pay the tariff for

But, with both elevens at full strength and groomed for this annual classic, they may surprise the fans by playing one of the most notable games of the year. Yale has slightly the better record in major games. It was beaten by Army, 20-0, less than half the score by which the Cadets smothered Harvard. Brown scored one less touchdown against the Elis . than against the Crimson, and Yale beat Darthmouth by three points more than did Harvard. Both made their best showlhgs last Saturday, indicating that they have finally begun to click. Harvard, using a patched-up line-up, provided a big upset by beating Holy Cross, and Yale tied the Princeton Tigers who had held mighty Michigan to 14-7,

this one will get their money’s worth only in the event that one or both of the fighters Is knocked down. Standing up. neither Primo or Jose is much to look at. But viewed when headed for the canvas—magnificent, terrific, stupendous and tremendous are the adjectives that come to mind. Those who saw Camera take a knockdown in the Sharkey fight will never forget it. They will treasure it along with memories of Niagara Falls by moonlight, the grand canyon at sunset and David Warfield in “The Music Master.” Some critics rate Santa as the absolute master of the fall. One of these is Jack McAuliffe, onetime lightweight champion. “Santa's plunges to the canvas,” McAuliffe told us, “are works of sheer genius. The man’s artistry is superb. Unlike Camera, who falls in sections, Santa always manages to land in one lur p. Naturally, the effect Is stunning.” Camera has been installed as favorite in the betting odds. Nobody knows just why.
