By Eddie Ash George Detore Gains Trial With Mack mam Versatile Star of A. A. Is Promoted
INDIANAPOLIS baseball lans will recall the sawed-off George Detore, champion of the American Association the past season from the standpoint of versatility. He played with the Toledo Mud Hens and filled a hail dozen assignments. One day the little fellow would be behind the bat and the next he would be guarding an infield station, second, third, or wherever help was needed. Asa matter of fact, in one game, near the sees son's end. Manager ONeill permitted Detore to make the rounds of all nine positions, one to an inning. George s natural baseball skill caught the eye of Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics and next spring will find the former Colgate college star trying out for a big league berth. Mack purchased Detore, giving cash, one player and a promise of additional talent. George batted .352 for the Hens and is entitled to go up. He failed to make the grade with Cleveland, before joining Toledo, but his 1933 record indicates he possesses the proper courage and aggressiveness to make a strong bid for a berth in the majors. a a a a a a IT looks like that was an even shift of coaches between the midwest and far west—A. A. Stagg for Pop Warner The old boys are down in the ranks apparently to stay. Big names, yes, but names don t get touchdowns. The College of the Pacific and Temple university have failed to gain entree to the elite of football under the veteran character builders. Messrs. Stagg and Warner were world beaters in their heyday, but the derring do parade has passed them now. a a a a a a RELEASES and demotions are coming early in the majors and several . well-known names wall be missing from the box scores next spring. BurP’igh Grimes, let out unconditionally by the St. Louis Cards, surely will tysk for one more chance with another major club. Veterans, seldom admit they are through.* Grimes pitched for six National League teams during his long career as a baseball tourist. He throws a “spitter” and his release just about cleans out the saliva twisters up there. It really looks like curtains for Burleigh. The minor leagues do not allow the use of the spitball and his only chance out of the majors will be to seek a managerial berth. His big league stretch covered eighteen seasons. Not many last that long m fast company and Grimes has no grievance. It wasn’t so long ago when Johnny Hodapp was the Idol of Indianapolis fans. He brought a big price in money and players when sold to Cleveland and loooked good to last under the big top indefinitely. Injuries took their toll and Johnny will be in the minors again in 1934, with the Rochester Internationals. Only 23 and on the way down. a a a a a a WHEN Tony Mareno of Evansville and Paul Lee of Indianapolis clash over the ten-round route at Tomlinson hall next Thursday night, something more than victory will be at stake. Promoter Dale Miller announced today he will endeavor to match the winner with Frankie Jarr, Ft. Wayne, bantamweight champ of the state in a title scrap. Miller plans to try all angles to make his show a lively affair from bell to bell, and if the ringsters respond, lie believes the fans will reciprocate by giving full support to future fistic offerings. a a a a a a WINOOKA is no palooka after all. Ask the race fans at Pimlico who bet against the Australian horse Wednesday. Jockey Edgar Britt, from “down under,” finally learned how to guide his mount to gain an even break with the tricky American riders. Winooka is the son of Windbag and possesses the bellows to go places. This is the horse that was booed by the race fans at Laurel on its first eastern start when it made a dismal showing. Booing a horse recalls the night at the old Empire theater in Indianapolis in the long ago when Leo Pardello, a wrestler, took on a bull (not a cop) for an opponent. Pardello and the animal, which was tied to prevent leaping the footlights, floundered around the ring and eventually the spectators grew' restless, demanded action, and when it wasn't forthcoming, turned loose a chorus of boos. The razzing got under Pardello’s skin and he let go of the bull, w r ent to the ropes, raised his hand and shouted to the crowd: “I ain’t faking. It’s the bull!” a a a a a a FOOTBALL fans of the city and state lost no time in sending in their game predictions this week and The Times was kept on the jump today taking care of the many letters containing the “advance scores” of the sixteen important college games that were listed on the sport page Wednesday. Perfect Picker Pete may be among the stacks of slips and in that event thfere will be some tall celebrating in the “pick ’em league” next week. The fan experts have exhibited keen grid knowledge and it is evident that the football dope is scanned thoroughly over Hoosierland week in and w r eek out. It doesn't seem to make any difference with the amateur prognosticators how tough the going, for they tackle all and sundry games in a manner that leaves no doubt that football is football on the home grounds or in China. The game predictions for this week must be received by tomorrow morning. Address Football Score Editor, The Times. Join the fun and parade with the crowd. High pickers are rewarded by membership in the mythical Times Hail of Experts and in I Told You So, Inc. a a a a a a Ij'OUR members of the 1933 Minneapolis baseball club struck upon a novel way to pass the off-season with profit. They are Andy Cohen, Spencer Harris, Walter Tauscher and Wes Griffin. In looking around for winter jobs, the boys found a discouraging outlook, so they pooled their summer savings and entered the night club, business in Minneapolis. They call their enterprise “The Windup” and it is a combination baseball stove league and entertainment club. The ball players take turns in acting as umpire to settle knotty diamond problems among the customers.

of De Paul, in Chicago, and Mackey is hopeful of an upset. It will be the last home game for the local collegians and the day has been designated as Boy Scout and Dad’s day. Two of the important changes in the local lineup moves Laymon from end to center and changes half back Carr into a full back in Bob Stewart’s place.
Last night he sent the Crimson gridders through a light drill to end tw’o weeks of preparation for the Ohio State game. A tentative lineup announced by Hayes before the team departed included Wendel Walker at full back, Bob Jones and Larry Sawicki at the halves and Ray Rauer at quarter. Don Veller, varsity quarter w'ho was hurt early in the season, will get into the game early, Hayes predicted. Indiana will rely greatly on the kicking of Bob Jones against the new Buckeye punting star, Johnny Kabealo. In the forward wall Indiana probably will have Antonini and Lyons at the ends, Seeson and Anglemeyer at the tackle berths and Voliva and Stevenson at guards. The center has not been named. Vern Huffman, promising new half back, probably will not get in the game due to an injury suffered in the Notre Dame game three weeks ago.
Navy Awaits Irish Battle By Times Special ANNAPOLIS. Md., Nov. 3.—Navy cleared her gridiron decks for action today as a foe came steaming over the horizon from the west, bearing the ensigns of one of the weakest Notre Dame teams in many years.

There was no practice session for the Irish prior to their departure yesterday from South Bend. The team was escorted to the South Bend station by a cheering throng of students who want the string of Notre Dame defeats stopped with a victory over Navy. Coach Edgar (Rip) Miller of the Navy, an ex-Notre Dame tackle, said he expected the game to be a battle of the lines. There probably will be no extensive passing, he predicted, unless his hard-charging midshipmen halt Notre Dame's running attack.

Big Ten Grid Lead Awaits Michigan-Illinois Battle
Four Conference Games Scheduled for Week-End; Wolverines Headed Toward Fourth Straight Title as They Meet Indians at Champaign.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 3. Michigan, marching toward its fourth straight Big Ten title, and Illinois, beating back toward the top after three disastrous years, will battle for the Western Conference lead tomorrow as the championship race swings into the last half of the season. The Michigan-Illinois game will bring together the only two undefeated, untied teams in conference competition, and will leave the, winner in undisputed possession of first place. A crowd of 30,000 is expected at Champaign. Minnesota, battling to get back in the title race despite two ties, will match its bone-crushing attack against Northwestern at Evanston in the day’s second important game, which is expected to draw 35,000. In the other two conference games Ohio State, with anew offense supplanting the double wing-back formation, will meet Indiana, back in action after two weeks rest, at Columbus, and Wisconsin, beaten thri.ee, and Chicago, beaten twice, will clash at Chicago. Two conferences teams go outside I. U. HARRIERS WIN By United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 3.

the league for competition. Purdue, unbeaten but tied, will attempt to hand Carnegie Tech's unscored-on team its first defeat at Lafayette, and lowa will resume football relations with lowa State at lowa City after a lapse of thirteen years. Michigan is favored over Illinois, but Bob Zuppke has pointed his team for this game for two weeks, scouted Michigan personally, and has designed a special defense to halt the Wolverines' wide sweeps and lateral passes. “We will have a fighting team Saturday,” says Zuppke. Beyond that “The Little Napoleon” refuses to commend on Illinois' chances of upsetting Michigan. Michigan has yielded one touchdown this yeaj, and that was through the air to Michigan State. Illinois has the best aerial attack in the Big Ten, with Jack Reynon passing, and five exceptional receivers, Froschauer. Snook, Lindberg, Schustek and Frink. That combination completed twelve out of seventeen passes against Army for gains totaling 153 yards. The Michigan line, -with its potential all-American center, 220pound Charlie Bernard, and the two star wingmen, Ted Petoskey and Willis Ward, will average 192 pounds to 177 for the Illinois forward wall, a difference of fifteen pounds. If Illinois can stop Everhardus, Heston, Regeczi and Fay, four hardhitting backs, operating behind that kind of line, Zuppke will be a miracle man. The Minnesota - Northwestern game promises plenty of fireworks, with Northwestern depending on its forward and lateral pass attack to outscore Pug Lund, the Gophers’ great half back, and his running mate, Julius Alphonse. This game should see nothing but offensive football.
