Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—For the first time since Helen Twelvetrees was a shrub, the east finds itself dominating the football scene this week, what with: A) Brown meeting Colgate; <B) Notre Dame meeting Army; <C> Pittsburgh meeting Stanford. An added note of interest Is that one of these teams may be picked to go to the wide open spaces of Hollywood, where men are very strange, indeed, to meet Southern California in the annual Rose bowl game. Which one will it be? Before going into that. I ought to tell you that there la a very strong move on to put Michigan in the *pot. The move started some weeks ago on the west coast, spread to the middle west and has now hit the big town. In fact, it practically amounts to a national alumni move on the part of old-Michlganders. Michigan won tne undisputed championship of the Big Ten. In addition, the Wolverines beat Princeton and outclassed Michigan State—a team that later showed Fordham how to olav football. They have been beaten only once In the last, thirty games. They boast a record unsurpassed bv few malor teams. m a TEAMS don’t automatically qualify for the Rose Bowl game. They are invited. Some decline the invitations, because of faculty disapproval. No team has been invited so far this season. There is a feeling that Michigan will accept if invited, though' in the past such invitations have been frowned upon by the Big Ten folks. Michigan men around here tell me Hurrv Up Yost, the athletic director, is in favor of the game. So are Harry Kipke, the coach, and also the players. The team ints not yet broken training altogether. Faeullv representatives of the Big Ten have the last say on the matter. They meet next on Dec. 3. Professor Ralph W. Alger represents Michigan on this board, and the tip is that he will vote ••Yes." 8o the Rose bowl nomination may not be decided by the eastern returns after all. For some reason, the southern teams did not. seem to be getting a tumble this year. Auburn Is undefeated. It's record shows a decisive victory over Tulane, the Rose bowl victim of a year ago. Centenary, disclosing an amazing upswing in power, is untied and undefeated, and my field operatives report it is the best team in the south. Maybe the boys need a press agent down there. n n tt AT any rate, the situation is interesting. My own idea is that an emphatic victory by either Brown or Colgate will form the final answer. There has ljeen a tendency to belittle these two teams, Colgate because of its pushover schedule and Brown because of its long string of narrow escapes. In this connection I remember sitting in at a gathering of experts the night before Tunney fought Dempsey at Philadelphia. The sentiment was preponderantly pro-Dempsey. There was an extended recital of Tunnev's deficiencies. He rouldn’t hit, he was slow, he didn't like ’em downstairs. In short, he was a bum. 'All right," piped up the only proTuney man In the room, "tell me who ever beat, him?" That was a hard one to answer, because no one had ever beaten him except Oreb. who butted him blind between tne eyes. Similarly, Colgate has done all that the schedule demanded, and Brown has gone on from Saturday to Saturdav winning sometimes by five points, sometimes by three points, sometimes by one point, but still winning. The boys must have something. a a tt HOW about Pittsburgh? Are you going to count a team like the Panthers out just because they were held even in two games? How about their schedule? Can you name any other team in football that attempted to take West Virginia, Duquesne, Army, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Pensylvania, Nebraska, Carnegie Tech and Stanford in a row? The answer is you can not and as I have said before, the 1932 Pittsburgh schedule is a moral affront to the traditions of the university, and what is probably more important in a material sense, a cruel imposition on the young men who were asked to see it through. It would be a tough schedule for the Green Bay Packers.

Shortridge Is Tech Rival

Three regulars were expected to be missing from Tech’s lineup when the east side eleven renewed its city high school rivalry with Shortridge at 2 p. m. at the east side field. Dischinger, star end and punter; Edwards, guard, and Pardue, leading ground gainer, were reported on the hospital list with injuries and illness.

Nipper Makes Fine Record Second Year as Blue Coach

Bob Nipper, former Butler sta? athlete and for the past two yean coach at Shortridge high school, brought his 1932 season to a close today against Tech. Win. lose or draw today the Blue fans will be more than satisfied with "Nip’s" success. Taking the helm of the north side eleven when there was a dearth of material and prospects were not so hot, Nipper launched a campaign of building. Even now his material consists of underclassmen chiefly, sophomores and juniors. Only four seniors. Burnside, end; Retterer. half back and cocaptain; Bell, half back, and Thompson, quarter back, will conclude their varsity careers in the Tech game today. The Blue eleven has participated in eight games this season and only once have the north siders tasted defeat, and that was to George Washington, the team that also scored the only seven points pushed across the Shortridge goal line this fall. The record follow’s: Shortridge, SI; Lebanon. 4. Shortridge, 27; Greenfield. . Shortrldre. t; Cathedral. #. Shortridge, It; Jeff of Lafayette, 0. Shortridge, IS; Seymour. 0. Shortridge, ft; Washington. 7. Shortridge, fi; Broad Ripple. 0. Shortridge, 13; Richmond. 0. The tilt with Tech at the east side field today ended the season for both teams and was the final curtain on interscholastic football in Indianapolis this year. ST. PAT GRIDDERS MEET The St. Patrick's football team will hold a meeting Thursday at 10:30 a. m. All players are requested to attend and to return their uniforms.

THREE NOTRE DAME STARS OUT OF ARMY CLASSIC

Melinkovich, Harris 111, Brancheau Hurt Pessimistic Anderson Predicts 3-Touchdown Victory for Cadets at New York Saturday; Soldiers Wind Up Hard Work Today. j ßy T'nitrri Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 23.—Three Notre Dame regulars today appeared to be out of the Irish-Army game at New York Saturday. Jim Harris, left guard, and George Melinkovich, sensational full back, who is leading tne team in ground gaining and scoring, are in the infirmary with influenza and Ray Brancheau, right* half back, still is nursing injuries received in the Navy game. Dick Pfefferle, reserve left tackle, also may be out of the Army game with injuries. Harry Wunsch has replaced Harris at guard, and Jim Leonard and Steve Banas are alternating at full back. Joe Sheeketski, who scored both touchdowns against the Navy, probably will play in Brancheau’s place.

Strong Prep Machines of North Clash Elkhart’s high school football team will invade East Chicago Thursday to battle Frank Cash s Washington eleven for the championship of the Northern Indiana High School Conference. The game will carry with it a strong claim for the victor to the mythical state prep grid championship. It was Elkhart that put an end to the victory string of twenty-four consecutive wins held by Central of South Bend last Saturday when it defeated Elmer Burnhams Bears, 13-7, for the title of the eastern division of the northern conference. At Evansville Thursday, Bosse and Central will meet. Bosse will be city champion if it wins. Memorial of Evansville will play at Clinton. South Side of Ft. Wayne will play at Elkhart Saturday.

HOOSIERS PLAY CHICAGO Indiana, Purdue on 1933 Maroon Football Schedule. By Times Special CHICAGO. Nov. 23.—80th Purdue and Indiana are on the 1933 football schedule for the University of Chicago, the Boilermakers playing here on Oct. 21 and Indiana on Nov. 11. Michigan. Wisconsin and Illinois are other Big Ten teams carded, and the season will close on Nov. 25 with Dartmouth invading the Midway.

Coach Heartly Anderson assumed a pessimistic attitude after Tuesday practice and predicted Army would win by three touchdowns. “I hope we have a dry field,” said Anderson. “Our only hops seems to be how well our passing attack functions.” More than 100 students crashed the gate to attend secret practice Tuesday and lend support to the team, but Anderson promptly herded his players into the gym to conclude the workout. ARMY ENDS DRILLS WEST POINT, N. Y„ Nov. 23. Army will hold a final heavy practice today and taper off with a signal rehearsal Thursday morning for Saturday’s classic struggle with Notre Dame. Major Ralph Sasse and his squad depart late Thursday for Briarcliff, where they will eat Thanksgiving dinner. All visitors will be barred from the players’ quarters. The team wil leave for Yankee stadium, scene of the game, Saturday at noon. Army practiced in secret again Tuesday, with Sasse concentrating on the left end and quarter back positions. Dick King's broken leg makes it necessary for Sasse soon to decide between Jack Lawlor and Curley Edwards, for the position. Joe Mac William or Felix Vidal will start at quarter. The play of these four men was watched closely in Tuesday’s session. The varsity line-up found the following at the other positions: Kopcsak, right end; Lincoln, right tackle; Jablonsky, right guard; Evans, center; Summerfelt, left guard; Armstrong, left tackle; Fields and Brown, half backs; Kilday, full back. An early darkness fell over the practice field and arc lights erected only days ago were brought into use.

Disapproval was voiced by Hermon Phillips, former Olympic star, now coaching at Butler, who said: “I see no advantage in the change and the metric system is not readily understood by the people in the United States.”

Seven Race Meets Set Winter Turf Campaign Gets Under Way Thursday at New Orleans. TENTATIVE RACE DATES Jefferson park (New Orleans), Nov. 24. A*ua Caliente (Mexico), Dec. 35. Tampa. Fla.. Dec. 30. Havana, Cuba. Jan. 10. Hialeah (Miami. Fla.). Jan. 14 or 19. Fairground (New Orleans). Jan. 23. Tropical park (Miami, Fla.), Feb. 7. A big winter turf racing program opens Thursday at New Orleans, with the inaugural program at Jefferson park, and the tentative schedule will keep horsemen and racing fans occupied until March 31. Seven meetings are on the present tentative cards. About eighty days have been knocked off the combined programs and several slashes made in purses, but officials expect a successful season. New Orleans tracks, Jefferson park and Fairground, have not slashed their dates or purses, and the thoroughbreds will be galloping over the Crescent City ovals from Thanksgiving day to St. Patrick’s day, March 17. Rich Race at Caliente Jefferson will run fifty-one days, until Jan. 21, with the Fairground track, remodeled and under new management, starting on Jan. 23. Featured by the $50,000 Agua Caliente handicap in March, racing at the Mexican spa gets under way on Christmas Day, Dec. 25. The late Phar Lap, Australian wonder horse, won last year’s handicap. Two more stars from “down under” will seek the rich prize this year. Agua Caliente also is under new management. Outstanding thoroughbreds from New York, Maryland and other eastern stables will be shipped to Havana, where a rich program is planned at Oriental park, starting Jan. 10. In an effort to bolster its program, the Cuban track also is planning a $50,000 handicap. Florida Dates Conflict A conflict in racing dates following the announcement that Tropical park would be operated this year, is being studied by the Florida racing commission, and the programs may be changed. The high spot of Florida’s winter season will be the meeting at Joseph E. Widener’s Hialeah park in Miami. There are no $50,000 stakes on the program, but the average value of the purses and stakes will be higher than at any other winter track. Nearly every prominent stable in America will race at Hialeah from Jan. 14 to March 11. Tropical park is scheduled for forty-six days, starting Feb. 7 and closing March 31. TCeeney park at Jacksonville, Fla., is not scheduled to operate this year.

Cruising in Sportland—with Eddie Ash

AFTER accepting eleven press tickets from Notre Dame for the N. D.-Navy game at Cleveland last Saturday, the Army grid officials supplied eleven scouts with the ducats to permit the West Point sleuths to occupy choice seats and watch every move of the Irish and copy down all of the plays used against the Middies. Thereupon the scouts hustled their information to West Point, and to guard against any chance of Army plays leaking out for the benefit of Notre Dame, the West Point gates were locked and a police detail posted. Eleven scouts on one game, one for every position on a team, breaks all records for football hawkshawing. The generals, majors, captains, colonels and lieutenants will have a tough time explaining their strategy if the Cadets happen to bump into an upset Saturday. u a t* The jfrid season just closing; doubtless tore apart for the last time the play house of the ‘comparative score” dopester. Teams are different on different Saturdays and certain elevens do all of their “pointing; for certain opponents. Anyway, it’s a difficult problem to keep the young; collegians keyed up every week. For instance, try and figure this line of comparative scores: Pittsburgh. 12: Notre Dame. 0. Pittsburgh. 0; Nebraska, 0. Nebraska. 14; lowa. 13. Northwestern. 44: lowa. 6. Notre Dame, 21; Northwestern. .* Moreover, Valparaiso of Indiana ‘claims” the secondary college championship of the whole United States. Valpo' was undefeated and untied, but its opponents do not ‘‘rate” in the top flight secondary class. n n n SPEAKING of the economic readjustment. even the racing dogs of the north country have felt the blow. The international dog derby at Quebec has been called off this winter and the annual snow carnival there will be minus the canine feature. The snow hounds demand choice bones to make ’em run best and they can not show the old speed on table scraps and half portions. It’s the depression, the derby promoters stated, as they canceled the event. n n n Fans in Columbus are trying to “guess” the 1933 pilot of the Red Birds. They seem to think Billy Southworth won’t be back and hope that Pat Crawford obtains the berth. However, they have a hunch Bob O'Farrell may be sent to them from the Cardinals, the parent club, and some imagine that if Rogers Hornsby fails on the comeback trail he eventually will land at Columbus directing the reins. The Cardinals may meet with stern opposition j if they endeavor to transfer Crawford to the minors again. He was a whale of a ball player in the A. A. this year. ana NO better example of a ball! player overcoming a batting weakness ever has been given than the feat performed by Jimmy Foxx. 1 American League pitchers thought; they had him squelched with a low fast one in 1931, when he slumped to .291, but the stalwart youth keptj fighting and found a way to smack j that style of pitch. He always could slaughter high fast ones and when he mastered his fault this year he went on to gain new heights, barely missing Babe Ruth's all-time record for home runs. Foxx learned to solve the low pitch this year before the pitchers got wise and as a result he had them mystified. n n n THE Brown vs. Colgate grid battle at Providence Thursday for the mythical eastern championship (if you don’t rate Pittsburgh and

He was elected Tuesday to succeed Charlie Hall of Birmingham. Bobby Jones, former amateur and open king, was named honorary vice-president. No attempt was made to name the 1933 Ryder cup team to play England next spring. Walter Hagen probably wil! serve as captain, with Olin Dutra and Gene Sarazen as probable members. The other candidates will be picked on their showings in the winter tournaments. Cox Strives for Peak of Fistic Form Twenty-one miles of “road work" on a bicycle was a part of the training session of Tracy Cox Tuesday in the Victory gym as the local pride continued his workouts in preparation for his ten-round rematch with Harry Dublinsky, Chicago junior welter, at the Armory next Tuesday night. Tracy's bike “trip” was taken on the stationary training bicycle. Cox pedaled a “distance” of twenty-one miles as indicated on the speedometer. Rope skipping, bag punching and tugging with the weights and sand bag came next, after which six rounds of boxing were indulged in. The fact that Collyer’s Eye, national boxing authority, picked Dublinsky to win over Cox again has served to make Tracy’s handlers redouble their efforts' to have him in the best passible shape. Reserved seats for Tuesday night s show went on sale today at the Claypool drug store.

Track Rule Is Changed

Metric System Is Adopted by A. A. U., Starting Jan. 1. By I'nited Press NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—The Amateur Athletic Union finally has adopted the metric system of measurement for all its track and field events. The new measure will go into effect Jan. 1. 1933. It was first propased in 1923. The metric system has been used by all other countries of the world except the United States and England. The change here came as a surpirse. England is expected to make the shift soon, making the metric system universal. Sprinters and distance runners will be most affected by the change. The 100-meter dash will be equal to 109.3 yards, while the 1.500 meters event will be 120 yards shorter than the mile. In the middle distances, however, there will be little change. The 200-meter is 1.28 yards less than the present 220-yard dash, and the change is proportionate in the 440yard dash and half mile. The I. C. A. A. A.
