By Eddie Ash Michigan Holds All-Time I pper Hand mam •Race Angle’ Benefits Big Ten Football
STATISTICS compiled by Frederic S. Beebee of the University of lowa athletic department show that Michigan rules the roost in the matter of all-time leadership of the Western Conference, and just at present the Wolverines look the part of another champion, which will make thirteen titles for the Ann Arbor entry. The all-time conference standing, Beebe’s figures show, give the Maize and Blue first place by a wide margin since the midwest universities combined into an official league. Beebee evidently went far back in years to obtain his statistics, for his all-time standing gives Chicago second place and Purdue is marked down in seventh position. His record is cluttered with tied contests and even in this respect the Wolverines are low in no-decisions, with five. Following Michigan and Chicago in the lowa expert’s standing are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio State, Purdue, Northwestern, lowa and Indiana. a a b a a a THE Big Ten schools are fortunate from the standpoint of publicity and ballyhoo in having a regular organization that supplies an official standing and race. It commands more interest on the part of the public and sharpens up the “race” angle. At a glance the average grid fan knows what team is on top and what teams are still contenders. The average sports follower knows all about standings as a result of seeing the professional baseball league figures in print every day during the summer and he likes football the same way. It's a strong selling point every week for the gridders ro have standings published, the next week's games listed and other data placed in print. The American athletic fan is "race minded’’ and also is interested in picking over statistics of the past and present. Big Ten football has benefited extensively by its league-like arrangement. B B B BUM THE Times today presents sixteen more college grid games for the fans to forecast the scores before another Saturday is rolled up on the various gridirons of the nation. There are plenty of headaches in the group of tilts on the program of the "pick 'em league” this week and if Perfect Picker Pete ever is going to show himself for the world to gaze upon the guess is that he won't exhibit himself Saturday. Anyway, the many readers of The Times participating in this feature don’t care how tough they come and it’s a good bet one or more amateur experts will come close to qualifying for Pete’s coveted crown. Some of the fan experts almost mad% a clean sweep of the entire lot of last week’? games. B B B BBS IN the list below there are heavy favorites, slight favorites, toss-ups and perhaps some upsets. Nearly all of the major games of Saturday are included and the field is open to city fans and state grid followers to demonstrate their skill at “calling the turn.” Clip the coupon, fill out the brackets with scores of your choosing and mail or bring to Football Score Editor, The Times, Indianapolis, before Saturday morning. Don’t lose this coupon. It will not appear again this week. Brush up on your grid knowledge and shoot the works. Sixteen games and a carload of headaches.

Now the group plans an annual get-together party, for many years to come, the former gridiron gladiators hope. They will meet this fall on Nov. 4. Saturday, and as a number of the old boys eligible to the “Old Eastern” organization have not been located, the president, J. Harry Lambert, has enlisted the aid of The Times to locate them. He desires to send them invitations to attend Saturday’s reunion. Mr. Lambert sent in the following list of missing former Eastern members: Harry Aggerter, Martin Barry. Edward Hyde, Bud Kruger.

B B B B B B MICHIGAN was too good for Ohio State on Oct. 21, but perhaps the Buckeyes would have made a better showing if they had not been led to believe the world would come to an end if they didn’t get out there and win. or die trying. It is said there was so much howling and yowling and begging and pleading by Ohio supporters before the game that many of the Buckeye lads cracked under the emotional strain in the dressing room shortly before kick-off time and broke out in tears, and that when the warriors went out on the field not all of them had recovered from the clubhouse hysteria. To step out before 90,000 people, and with your nervous system upset, is no laughing matter.

Old Slogan Peps Illini Zuppke Uses ‘Crown ’Em" Cry to Inspire Lads for Michigan. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. I.—An old Illinois slogan is being dusted off and polished up down at Champaign this week as Bob Zuppke prepares his team for Michigan’s invasion Saturday. It's ‘Michigan, champions of the west —crown ’em.” That’s the old slogan that reverbrated across the Illinois campus back in 1924 before the great 39 to 14 victory over Michigan, in which Red Grange ran wild for four touchdowns in the first period. Unbeaten and Untied Memories of this and other famous games with Michigan will inspire the young Illinois team as it moves into action against the unbeaten, untied Wolverines Michigan, because of its decisive victories over Michigan State, Cornell, Ohio State and Chicago, will be favored, but Illinois, beaten only by Army, 6 to 0, must be accorded a chance, even though it is a slim one. to upset the Wolverines. Illinois’ aerial attack, which almost drove the Army to cover, is Bob Zuppke’s biggest hope for victory. Against Army, the Illini, with Jack Beynon passing, completed 12 out of 17 passes for 153 yards, eleven of them in succession. Illinois twice lost the ball on fumbles inside Army’s 20-yard line. Chance for Lindbergh Michigan has yet to face a team with a competent passing attack. Ohio State’s passing was feeble, and Chicago's passes weren’t intricate enough or accurate enough to give the Wolverines any trouble at all. It is doubtful if Illinois can muster a strong enough running game to dent fylichigan’s big, alert line, but the Illini may loosen up the defense with its passes to slip Les • Flying) Lindbergh, not another Grange, but a good all-round back and a dangerous runner in the open, through for a few gains. Beynon, the Ilinois quarter back, is one of the best tactical quarter backs in the Big Ten. He hasn't made an error in judgment in any game this year, and if Michigan has a weakness he'll find it in Saturday’s battle.

Purdue Seeks New Defense By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 1. Coach Noble Kizer went to the blackboard with Purdue’s football team here yesterday, trying to find in the diagrams thereon a defense he could feel would stop Carnegie Tech Saturday. Today the Boilermakers were to go out on the practice field and begin work on the system Kizer selected. “Carnegie is the most powerful and versatile team we have met this year,” a Purdue scout reported back to his chief. “You can expect anything from them,” he added. By Times Special PITTSBURGH, Nov. I.—Howard Harpster, youthful coach of Carnegie Tech's football team, sent his squad through a final drill today preparatory to an invasion of the midwest to meet Purdue Saturday. The powerful Tartan eleven will entrain here tomorrow for the Indiana trip, stopping at Logansport, Ind., to rest before the game and indulge in warming up exercises. CATHEDRAL RESERVES DOWN SOUTHPORT, 12-6 A blocked kick in the forth quarter provided the opportunity for Cathedral high school’s reserve eleven to defeat the Southport seconds, 12 to 6, yesterday afternoon at Perry stadium. The Irish B team scored in the second period, and in the final seconds of the same frame the Southport lads tossed a fifty-yard pass to the Cathedral 1-yard line, from where the ball was pushed over for six points. With four minutes to play Cathedral blocked a punt on the Southport 15-yard ribbon and scored again.

The Engineers’ mentor is experimenting with some lineup changes. BADGERS IN GOOD SHAPE MADISON. Wis., Nov. I.—Wisconsin will be in the best shape in three weeks for the Chicago game, Coach Dos Spears has indicated. Karl Scuelke received considerable attention as a passer yesterday in an effort to bolster the weakest part of the Badgers’ offense.
Wilbur Bohne ONE of the reasons Tech’s football team is sporting a record of four games won and only one lost and is a favorite to capture the city grid title this fall, is none other than Wilbur Bohne. Bohne is one of the real offensive threats. He can kick, pass and carry the old pigskin for consistent gains. Coach John Mueller’s eleven takes on Frankfort in a North Central conference struggle at the east side field Friday at 2:30, and then points for the two remaining big tests in the city race, Washington and Shortridge, who will be met on successive Fridays. The Green eleven already has marked up wins over Manual and Cathedral, and if victorious in the two remaining starts, will have undisputed claim to the city crown.
You Can’t Outguess Fight Game Today, Joe Discovers
BY’ JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK, Nov. I—Overheard in front of the Garden: “I see •where Mussolini made a knight out of Camera.” And the reply: “Yeah. And Paulino rfiade a bum out of him.'’ Os course, it was hardly that bad. But it is true that there is no consistency about most of the modern fighters. That’s one of the things jhat is wrong with the game. The other three million will be taken up at a later time. When Camera went away from these shores after flattening Jack Sharkey they were calling him a superman. And now because he failed to stop Paulino, or even knock him off his feet in fifteen rounds, they are calling him a superham. The chances are he never was exactly either. a st n THE other night Lou Brouillard dropped the middleweight title to the veteran Vincent Dundee, of Baltimore. Brouillard was one of the few current performers who looked as if he might go somewhere in the business. There was much yip-vipping when he beat Ben Jeby for the title a couple of months ago. And yet in his first defense of the championship he is decisively outslapped by a fellow who is practically an old-timer. This equals Sharkey’s record in dropping the heavyweight championship the first time he put it on the line. Except in Sharkey’s case no one should have been surprised. The championship always was too heavy for him to hold. Brouillard established something of a record by dropping first the welterweight and then the middleweight championship in a space of two years. They say he outgrew both divisions. Now he plans to fight as a light heavyweight. Should he win and lose the light heavyweight title within the next twelve months, that indeed would be something. THE day’s fight news includes a cable from London heaping high praise on Midget Wolgast for his victory over Jackie Brown, the English flyweight. “Wolgast brought

Coaches Want Repeal of Dead Ball Fumble Ruling

The ends have taken the play away from the backs in Big Ten football this year Lou Grower of Rutgers is one of the east’s most versatile athletes Last, year Lou started at center, was moved to tackle, and this year is at guard ...He has played at forward and guard at basketball, and caught, pitched and played outfield for the Scarlet baseball team.... Sam Williamson, they say, is on the way out at Ohio state, yet Sam has a better record against Kipke.

Is nothing sacred in England any more? I’ll admit the Midget is pretty fair, but unless he has improved at least three million per cent he has no more business being linked with the marvelous Wilde than Mae West has with Maude Adams. I saw Wilde when he was through and even then he was in a class by himself.
Two Unbeaten Foes Matched Two undefeated teams in the Em-Roe City League will battle for the supremacy of that division of the local amateur grid circuit at Perry stadium.

Jinx Threatens Buckeyes on Eve of Indiana Battle Superstitions Favor Invading Hoosiers Saturday: Crimson Annually Upsets Conference Giant and May Deliver Blow to Ohio State. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Nov. 1 —ls the gridiron hoodoo can brew a potent charm its effect should be felt strongest this week in the big horseshoe stadium at Ohio State. At least three superstitions of established reputation, but which have failed to deliver their annual upset thus far, should be working alongside the Crimson gridders from Indiana, who will go into the game decidedly the underdog. The first tradition which augurs against the Buckeyes is the notable memory among Big Ten coaches that Indiana each year pulls a surprise and defeats or ties some giant of the Conference, against whom the pregame dopesters gave the Hoosiers no chance for victory.

Dopesters Stick to Belief Vet Mack Will Sell Stars
By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Nov. I.—Members of the hot stove league are expecting an announcement any day from Connie Mack he has sold pitcher Lefty Grove, catcher Mickey Cochrane or Max Bishop, second baseman. In fact a sale of all three would not be startling, despite the 70-year-old manager’s insistence last night that he has made “no move to dispose of them.” When asked if he would be willing to part with any of the three men, Mack replied, “I don't want to put myself on the spot by answering that question. I’m not saying what we might do in the future. I'll make whatever moves I think best for the club.” Close followers of baseball believe that Mack and Frank J.

Andy Rascher, popular young Hoosier heavyweight, will appear in the other featured bout if Lloyd Carter, matchmaker, is successful in obtaining an outstanding opponent. Racsher has shown to advantage in previous local matches, and feels confident of his ability to stack up against ‘big league’’ opposition. Bronowicz is rated one of the best of foreign mat performers. He is said to be of the aggressive type and boasts a strong record. Lever comes here touted as a clever grappier. He has met such well-known wTestlers as joe Savoldi, John Pesek and Gus Sonnenberg. A prelim bout also will be arranged. LUND TOSSES PASSES By United Press MINNEAPOLIS. Nov.
