By Eddie Ash Football Has Had Good Weather Breaks mum Fans Don’t Dress as in Ye Olden Days

Saturday is at hand and another “big" game. This time, in Hoosierland, it will he Purdue at Notre Dame, and the brand of weather on tap promises to be something on the order of what is known as “mild" in Eskimoland. Football, in recent years, has had good breaks on weather compared with games played in the long ago, when it was necessary at times to clear the field of snow and ice. Grid gladiators wore more and heavier togs then, and the spectators were draped in long underwear and other ponderous garments that beat off the frigid blasts. Not so today. It's opposed to fashion and the average grid fan yearns to appear young and snappy even at the cost of his life. Last Saturday a moderate breeze swept this state’s stadiums and a lot of the game-goers are not over it yet—sniffing and sneezing all week long. Get out the old red flannels, boys, and pull up your socks. a a a a a a F'ANS taking in football undoubtedly have noticed the defensive teams shifting about into various formations to meet the offensive club's shifts and attack. Speaking in the language of the coach, they line up 6-3-2. 6-2-2-1 some use the seven-man line and others the diamond defense. In order to shift the defensive players from one formation to another, there must be a leader to issue orders. This has meant grief for the officials who handle the games because of the rule covering substitutes and communication. The rules prohibit a substitute talking to any one except the official to whom he reports until at least one play has elapsed, except a player substituted for a player previously giving signals may call signals on the first play. n n n nan MANY coaches and officials declare this rule to mean that only the player substituted for the signal caller on the offensive team, the one in possession of the ball, could talk. Some experts have declared that a substitute for the signal caller on the defensive team can not talk for one play the same as any other substitute, and if he does the penalty of fifteen yards should be inflicted. The official rule book states that “until after the ball has been put in play he 'the substitute) shall not communicate with any one other than the officials, except that a man substituted for a player previously giving signals may give the signal.” The rule book, however, does not state whether or not this also applies to the signal caller on the team without the ball. Hence a wide difference of opinion has arisen. nan nan THE knotty "communication” problem was put to The Times and it was passed on to W. R. Okeson of Lehigh university, chairman of the national intercollegiate football rules committee, and he. too, was stymped The guess is that the committee will hasten to clear up the question at its next meeting. Chairman Okeson answered The Times as follows: “The intent of the rules committee was to permit the man substituted for a player who previously had been giving the signals for plays to give the signal for the next play. They had no thought of defensive signals, which at the time the rule was framed, were not in general use.” „ „ _ aaa a a a John Law. who coaches the Sing Ring prison football team, says that Moon Byrd, his full back, hits the line as hard as Joe Savoldi. Moon doesn’t cover ground like Joe, though. The walls are too high. ana ana THE railroads finally get a break. The choo-choo football specials to the Purdue vs. Notre Dame game at South Bend tomorrow are expected to be wcll-filled. At this writing, the weather is not favorable for motorists and the long drive on the highways with Mae West curves. The Big Four and Pennsylvania “steam cars look like the ieal McCoy for that trip. _ ana TWENTY-FIVE years ago Princeton defeated Dartmouth by a field coal and you couldn’t blame the Dartmouth lads for getting tight tha* night trving to forget, John De Witt of Princeton drop-kicked the hal: The leather barely cleared the Dartmouth line, bounced twice on ih* ground and then hopped upward and over the cress bar.

Purdue, Irish Meet for First Time in Decade Notre Dame’s Tenure of Hoosier Grid Sceptre Probably Will Be Broken by Strong Boilermaker Eleven in Fray at South Bend Tomorrow. Timm SprrinJ SOUTH BEND. Ind, Nov. 10.—For the first time in a decade Purdue and Notre Dame will meet in Notre Dame's stadium here tomorrow, and for the first time in twenty years the Irish will play underdog to another Hoosier eleven. Because of a record this year that rates the Anderson-coached team back with the secondary* leagues. Purdue will be a heavy favorite to plaster the Irish jerseys with another defeat on their home grounds, a feat which until this year was something of an accomplishment. Both squads are depleted by injuries but in this respect, Coach Noble Kizer is perhaps worse off. Fred Hecker. full back, has returned to the squad after two week’s rest with a hurt, but it is doubtful, Kizer says, whether he will be in tip-top shape for the brunt of the ball-lugging through the big Irish line.

Heffelfinger Plays Again By United Prc** MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 10.—W. W. (Pudge) Heffelfinger, All-America guard at Yale more than forty years ago, donned a football uniform today for his final game. Heffelfinger, rated by the late Walter Camp as an all-time AllAmerica guard, announced he would play with the Gopher All-Stars tomorrow in a game with the St. Thomas All-Stars. The game, he said, will be his last. He had planned to retire after a game in which he was injured a year ago. The game tomorrow will be for the benefit of disabled American war veterans. “I’m 66 now, and far past football age,” Heffelfinger said, “but I’ve always been willing to help disabled veterans, and I guess I can move back my retirement one year.” Heffelfinger was a member of the All-America teams, among the first named, while playing for Yale in 1890 and 1891.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1933

Duane Purvis, who is another one of Kizer's “dozen-threat” backs, went off with an infection in a knee injury. He may play, however. Three linemen, Fritz Febel, George Dennis and Ed Ungers, also are nursing wounds. Three N. D. Regulars Hurt Anderson will be without Ray Brancheau, right half back, Dominic Vairo, end, and Fred Solari, second string center, while Kitty Gorman, regular pivot man. is just coming back to the game after being knocked out in the Pitt struggle two weeks past. Whether the big bowl that has housed Irish home games for four years will be filled will depend largely on weather conditions tomorrow. according to ticket officials at Notre Dame. The advance sale has not been what it was expected to be when the teams signed the contract for this game. Have Met 14 Times Probably if the Irish were undefeated, or could boast another strong team, the chill winds would not make any difference in the box office report. But this 1933 Hoosier grid classic isn’t quite classic enough, in view of Notre Dame’s three consecutive defeats, to tempt the average fan to shiver through it. This will be the fifteenth meeting of the two teams. In previous contests Notre Dame has walked off with nine victories, given Purdue three, and split two games with the Boilermakers. Ths last time the teams opposed each other, here in Notre Dame’s old bleachers in 1923, Kizer was one of Knute Rockne’s “watchcharm” guards, and aided his mates in piling up a decisive score against the squad that he now coaches. Purdue Joins Top Flight Since that day Purdue has risen very visibly in football ranks. Notre Dame, too, mounted to the top of the pile, maintained a high place in 1931 and 1932, but this year found the going rough and has been rapidly on the downward slip. Just why Notre Dame can t wdn this fall would be excellent material for mystery fiction. Coach Kizer is afraid the Irish are victims of a psychological quirk that may iron itself out in time to give his lads the full blast of Notre Dame’s power. However, fan opinion is that here is Purdue's great chance to knock the Indiana grid crown from its old resting place.

Irish Reserves Are Undefeated Cathedral reserve and freshmen football teams closed their seasons yesterday, both against Shortridge elevens, and the Irish reserves chalked up a 19-0 victory to become the first Cathedral second squad to come through a campaign undefeated. The freshman clubs battled to a 7-7 draw. Washington high school’s freshmen beat the Tech rhinies, 13 to 0, to capture the city first-year title. Tech’s reserves lost to Southport’s second, 14 to 6. at Tech field.

Big Clinton Team Faces Irish in Stadium Tonight

Bearing the banners of a school that originated its football tradition eighteen years ago in overalls and with a borrowed ball, thirty-odd gridmen will advance Clinton high school's state title hopes against Cathedral of Indianapolis in Perry stadium here tonight. Prosperity has come to the begin- j nings made so humbly back in 1915 j by a handful of son.s of poor coal I miners, who chose to risk injuries in ! their work clothes when they could not afford the elaborate trappings of bigger institutions. Five times, the most recent one in 1928, Clinton has copped the state prep football title. This year they have won six games in a row, and have three more on the bill. • Annually about four score of big chaps, sons of the Italians, Rumanians, Slavs and Lithuanians brought into the Clinton region to work in the coal mines, answer Coach John Magnabosco’s call for football material. Clinton probably will outweigh the Irish. The line averages near 180, and the back field is somewhat heavier, due to Vanzo’s bulk of 215 pounds. Although a member of the Wabash Valley League, Clinton piays

The doctors point out that und°r the present system of parental consent and medical examination before a student is allowed to participate in high school athletics, instances have come to their attention where the examination was not carefully done. Special guard against community sentiment is urged to combat the practice of star players seeking some doctor who will pass his physical condition, after he is turned down by others.
