with confidence over the'chances of his Port

mouth (0.) Spartans to annex the championship of ti western division of the National Professional Footba. League, Potsy Clark, Indianapolis coach of the Spartans, today expressed the opinion that his team looks like a sure shot to battle New York or Brooklyn in the play-off for the loop title and bijj financial rewards. The New York Giants are pacing the eastern race, with the Dodgers a close second, and Portsmouth is camping on the heels of the Chicago Bears for first place in the west. Clark is wise in the ways of football, both collegiate and professional, and trusts his experience w'hen he predicts the Spartans will do well enough during the remainder of the schedule to climb over the Bears. New York and Brooklyn are big money towns in the pro sport, and if Clark lands his team in the championship bracket, he will be “siftin’ in the throne room.” " BUM B B B CLARK and his agile and hard-hitting Spartans barely missed winning the pro title last year from the high-salaried big city elevens, and now he’s up there again tossing fright into the camps of his rivals. Five clubs are in each division of the league. The pro circuit is cashing in on the recent lifting of the blue laws in Pennsylvania, permitting professional sports on Sunday, and Pittsburgh, especially, is reaping a harvest. Clark said Pittsburgh, Boston and Brooklyn are saying it with blue ink and apparently possess the “hottest” fans, the type similar to dyed-in-the-wool baseball rooters. m a a a a a LONE STAR DIETZ assembled a team of the world’s biggest football players to represent the Redskins of Boston, but little Portsmouth cut them down and were the recipients of columns of bouquets in Beantown newspapers The tip is out now that a big eastern college will endeavor to coax Potsy back into the ranks of the rah rah gridders as head coach. His pass plays and smooth running formations centered attention on his team in the east and drew the plaudits of leading football writers. Injuries handicapped Portsmouth at one stage of the current raf!e, but the hospital list is clear now, and Coach Clark believes his warriors are destined to make a whirlwind finish. a a a a a a SATURDAY noon the downtown district will be the scene of a monster pep session in the interests of the football game to be played that afternoon in the Butler bowl between Southport and Cathedral high school teams, and a parade is being organized by Walter Boetcher, president of the board of works, who originated the project of bringing the two teams together as a means of raising funds to maintain the city and county employes relief kitchen. The band of Cathedral high school and the police and firemen’s band, together with delegations from the student bodies, will form the nucleus of the parade. The midday demonstration likely will be reminiscent of those grand jamborees that use** to be staged here each fall when Wabash and De Pauw took possession of the local “loop” district prior to their yearly rivalry clashes. aaaa a a • SIXTEEN college football games, spread in a row, and along came The Times’ experts singing I Told You So. At any rate, another group of games is offered today for Times readers to forecast in advance. This new group of sixteen tilts, to be played Saturday, in the east, middle west, south and far west, is comprised of some "tough babies” to handle.

Strong Nebraska Team to Meet Pittsburgh in East

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 15—The Nebraska Comhuskers, one of the nation’s seven unbeaten, untied major football teams, heads east this week for its climax game of the season against the Pitt Panthers, at Pittsburgh. Since Dana X. Bible, one of the game's keenest strategists, became head coach at Nebraska in 1929, the Comhuskers have never been able to beat Pittsburgh. Nebraska twice tied great Pitt teams. 0-0. in 1930 and 1932. lost a close one in 1929 bv a 12-7 score, and suffered its worst reverse under Bible’s coaching in the 40-0 rout in 1931. Bible ranks his 1933 Nebraska team as the lpest he has developed in the corn belt. “Our success can be attributed to the fact that we do not have a position that is unusually weak.” says Bible. "Our kicking has been fair, passing, fair, and the running attack strong. The guards are fast enough to get into the interference. We

have featured more open play than in the past, using a combination of forward-backward passes, laterals and end runs. We have nine seniors on the team, and that accounts for our excellent teamwork.” Nebraska has won six straight games, and has annexed the Big Six title for the fourth time in five years under Bible. In its six games Nebraska has scored 109 points against its opponents’ 7. defeating Texas. 26-0; lowa State. 20-0: Kansas State. 9-0; Oklahoma, 6-7; Missouri, 26-0, and Kansas, 12-0.

If Nebraska gets by Pitts Saturday. the Comhuskers then will meet lowa in their final game, which may send them to the Rose Bowl game for the first time in history.

How Can You Tell Ring Faking? The Answer Is, You Can’t

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK. Nov. 15 —Some of the boys are saying Mr. Max Baer will never fight again, that he is too big a smash as a magic-lan-tern performer. I wouldn't know about that. When Jean Harlow’ isn't romping across the flickers in silky things, all that is fine and idealistic and touching about the motion picture art is lost on me. But this much I do know: Mr. Baer and his artistic stooge, Mr. Primo Camera, put on in the current picture one of the most convincing prize fights I have ever stretched my neck to look at—and of course it is strictly one of those things. The two gentlemen have never met in honest conflict in the ring, so it is impossible to say just what kind of performance they would produce. My own notion is that no matter energetically they functioned the result would fail to

Old Rivalry Renewed as Wabash and De Pauw Meet

By Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Nov. 15. Coached by a alumnus, De Pauw’s unscored on gridmen will come here Saturday for the thirtyseventh annual football meeting between the Tigers and the Wabash Cavemen. The Tigers will be favored heavily in this year’s renewal of one of the oldest grid rivalries in the midwest. Last fall the teams battled to a scoreless tie, but the two preceding games went to De Pauw. For nine men on Coach Pete Vaughan's squad the tilt with De Pauw will be their last college competition. The seniors concluding their grid careers Saturday are: Ralph Wheaton, center; Gerry Vinroot, end; Harry Verner, half back; Marion Milam, tackle; Eddie Meese, quarter back; Wiley Robbins, half back; George Soddy, guard; John Riker, tackle, and George Mangus, tackle. Vaughan yesterday shot his charges out into the chill weather for a long workout. He said his team will be full strength Saturday. Coach Gaumy Neal, in Greencastle, yesterday admitted he was fearful lest overconfidence undermine his team’s precision, and to guard against that malady of all athletic

Three first-string teams were sent in to defend against Wabash formations as exemplified by the De Pauw frosh, and then the Tigers’ mentor used his men in a lengthy offensive drill. In their thirty-six games Wabash has conquered their Tiger foes nineteen times; De Pauw has won twelve games, and five have been deadlocked. New bleachers to seat 5,000 persons will be added for the day, Wabash athletic officials said.

promised no break to the idling gridders. However it couldn’t be much better at Northwestern, the Notre Dame coaching staff figured as they resigned themselves to anotheV misspent afternoon. Records of the Irish and Wildcats are almost identical this fall. Notre Dame has tied one, lost four, and won one. Northwestern has tied two, lost three, and won one. The single victory of each was over Indiana. All season backers of both teams have awaited a change from the fumble-system the squads adopted, and of which they have yet to rid themselves. The Irish have outgained all their opponents, but have crossed no goal line except Indiana’s. Northwestern buckled down in its second game to hold Stanford to a scoreless tie—and Stanford last week conquered Southern California. Obviously there is potential strength on either side. Something should happen when the two teams meet. List to Coach Hunk Anderson of the Notre Dame squad sound his first optimistic note of the year: “We are going to cross that goalj line yet.” BALL STATE DRILLS By Timeg Special MUNCIE, Ind., Nov. 15.—Intent upon providing Indiana college football with at least one upset Satur- | day, Ball State Teachers’ college today worked on a running attack with which they hoped to stop Hanover.

considerable. The morals of the boys seem to’ run in that direction. Unfortunately not all the fakes have been characterized by such painstaking detail and appreciation of the drama as the kodakeries of Baer and Camera. For the most part the phoney presentations have been crude and awkward, bearing the unmistakable imprint of the amateur producer. Something you might expect from a little theater group, inspired more by zeal and Zangwill. BBS IF these theatrical pretenses are to be continued in the ring, the work obviously should be supervised by professional talent, such as the gentlemen who led Baer and Carnera through their militant mockeries. Hollywood has demonstrated that it not only can make matches, but make matches good. For all any one know’s Cecil de Mille may be worth fifty Jimmy Johnstons. Xt is quite possible I have gone

Kizer Eyes Air Attack Purdue Mentor Fears lowa Will .Open Up Pass Offensive. By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Nov. 15—Out of the sky today two disturbing worries plunged into Purdue's gridiron camp. The retrenchment of the thermometer to an unseasonable low mark this morning reiterated a threat of painfully unfavorable weather for the Boilermakers’ last home game Saturday with lowa. And. while Noble Kizer's respect for lowa’s ground offensive had not ebbed, his apprehension that it might be abetted by an even more devastating aerial attack had set up an irritation under his scalp. Hawks Pass to Score For Kizer had examined a report on lowa’s performance against the powerful Michigan eleven last weekend only to realize that, while the Hawkeyes’ running attack was one yard in the red at the last whistle, the Hawks still gained enough to score once against the Wolverines. As he saw from the statistics on the Michigan contest that lowa, gaining fifty-nine but losing sixty yards on the ground, resorted to aerial antics to pick up 113 yards, Kizer peered over his team’s equipment in the line of pass defense. It sounded entirely reasonable to Purdue’s official, as well as to its off-campus gridiron clinics, that a team that could harry Michigan as gravely as did lowa with air maneuvers, might also threaten Purdue in a similar manner. Solem Stresses Attack Reports today from lowa City were that, while Dick Crayne, Hawkeye full back, still limped around on crutches with a knee injury suffered against Michigan, Coach Ossie Solem could replace him with a good back, and was drilling his team almost exclusively on offensive tactics. Purdue will be lowa’s last Big Ten opponent. Kizer kno'ws the Hawks will pitch in their total resources to pile up a score on the Boilermakers. Saturday’s contest will be a Dads’ day performance at Lafayette. All Hoosierland, and most of the Hawkeye state today hoped for a break in the biting cold that gripped the midwest. LEBANON MINUS TEAM High School Conference Unable to Draft 1934 Schedules. By Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Nov. 15. —Lebanon high school may not revive football in its 1934 sports calendar, it was revealed at a meeting of North Central High School Athletic Conference members here last night. Gridiron schedules for the ten teams in the conference could not be completed at the meeting, because Lebanon representatives reported they were uncertain their school would compete. A banquet was given in honor of the Muncie team, this year’s wanner.

Walker Tries Kicking Task

By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 15. Bob Jones, guard, may be left in the line while Wendel Walker, sophomore full back, does the kicking for Indiana against St. Xavier in Cincinnati Saturday. Coach Billy Hayes yesterday groomed Walker on quick kicks, with the obvious intention of graduating the soph flash to the triple threat division. Freshmen used Xavier formations against the Hoosiers in a dummy scrimmage. Jones looked good on defense, while Robert Keck, another sophomore full back, in for Walker while the latter practiced kicking, was an offensive star. Zup Warns Men Chicago Is Good By United Preen CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov. 15. Coach Bob Zuppke continues to warn the Illinois players against overconfidence regarding the Chicago game. He gave the team a stiff workout yesterday and stressed the fact that Chicago has shown improvement every week. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—Hoping to spring an upset against Illinois. Chicago continues to hold secret practice in an effort to smooth out its offense. Ed Cullen ran the team at quarter back yesterday, and will start against Illinois.

away from several rousing ring spectacles betrayed into accepting the spurious as the splendid. I have very moving memories, for instance, of the high artistry of Eddie Anderson and Pete Sarmiento. They could put it on for you! I once saw Mr. Sarmiento and Mr. Anderson on tour with their road show in Cleveland, and for general excellence, sustained interest and dramatic force their performance would have challenged the genius of a Barrymore. It was a bald, brazen Barney, but r‘ the end the customers were standing on their seats screaming. The referee. Mr. Mat Hinkle, had been warned that the touring Thespians were going to do a bit from one of the old New England classics, and he gave them a lecture in their dressing rooms, threatening to stop the performance if the sham became too evident. “I couldn’t stop it,” complained Mr. Hinkle afterward. “The crowd would have mobbed me.”

FRIDAY AFTERNOON Washington vs. Manual at Delavan Smith field. Technical vs. Shortridge at Perry stadium. SATURDAY AFTERNOON Southport vs. Cathedral at Butler bowl. BY DICK MILLER A trio of fine games will ring down the curtain on Indianapolis high school football this week and with city title honors at stake in two of the tilts thrilling gridiron action is anticipated. Charity will have its big opportunity this week too, using an outstanding grid attraction to lure both football enthusiasts and cheerful givers to the Butler bowl Saturday afternoon to see Cathedral and Southport battle. Whether Shortridge wears the city title crown unchallenged or if they must share it with Technical and Washington depends upon how they perform against Tech. Bob Nipper's Blue Devils can defeat Tech and take possession of the cup, while Tech can defeat Shortridge and share the title. Washington, the team that rallied to score a 7-6 defeat of Tech last Friday, also has a chance to share the title. If Tech defeats Shortridge and the Continentals defeat Manual then

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15—Virgil Davis and Eddie Delker. first-string catcher and utility infielder, have been traded by the Phillies to the St. Louis Cardinals for Jimmy Wilson, veteran catcher, and some cash, it was learned today. Wilson, rated one of the best catchers in the majors, played with the Phillies for five seasons before being traded to the Cards in May, 1928.

Cold Forces Team Indoors By United Press ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 15. Michigan coaches today were worried about the team going stale because of the inability to work outdoors. Cold weather drove the squad indoors yesterday, and there seemed little chance that an outdoor session would be held this week. By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 15.—Minnesota drilled in secret again today on new plays to be used against Michigan Saturday. Although Coach Bierman has announced that the regular lineup will start Saturday, some doubt exists whether Bob Tenner, end, will be able to play the full game.

the trio will tie with one loss each. Shortridge defeated Washington. Tech and Shortridge each defeated Cathedral and Tech defeated Manual. Shortridge and Manual tied 7-7. Broad Ripple packed away her grid togs after the Shortridge defeat last Friday. Cathedral and Southport held their equipment out to engage in the charity tilt. This tilt will carry a lot of rivalry because of the early season hattle between the two that ended in a slim 7-6 margin for Southport. Coach A. E. Pitcher’s lads went through the season undefeated and were tied only by Columbus. They handed Washington a walloping, 27-0, and also defeated Broad Ripple, so it would be to Cathedral’s credit to beat the suburban lads. Last Friday night Cathedral looked good against the powerful Clinton team. Washington will be a favorite over Manual after the Tech victory, and the south siders must rally their spirit after a defeat at Bloomington Saturday. The Tech-Short-ridge game should be a real thriller, with the east siders carrying a slight weight advantage, but with Shortridge presenting a fast, charging eleven with a shifty, versatile back field. All games will get under way at 2.

Playoff System Brings Out Baseball Oratory

By United Press GALVESTON, Tex., Nov. 15.—The annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (the minors) went into high gear here today. More than 500 delegates were on hand as William G. Bramham, president, of Durham, N. C~ slated for re-election, delivered his annual address. Sharing the spotlight with the sessions of the general association were separate meetings of the western and international leagues. St. Joseph was prepared to lead a fight against Dale C. Gear, president of the Western League, while the International League expected a battle over the “Shaughnessy play-off plan.” Two Clubs in Scrap Opposed in the fight over the “Shaughnessy plan” were Warren C. Giles, of Rochester, and Frank Shaughnessy himself, originator of the plan and general manager of the Montreal club. The Texas League in a heated session yesterday voted to retain the plan for the 1934 championship season by a count of six to two. Managerial heads fell in the sand in some instances and were glued in place for another season in others. Jake Atz of the Ft. Worth club of the Texas League was among the first to go. Bill Moore, president and receiver of the club, announced the former Southern Association and Texas League pilot would not be signed for next year. Red Harvel, manager of the Oklahoma City club of the Texas League, fared better, jack Holland, the eb b’s owner, announced anew contract for next season had been presented to Harvel. Texas Stays With “Chains” The “chain store” baseball controversy, expected to create some excitement in the general sessions, was disposed of yesterday by the Texas League. Delegates overwhelmingly voted down a proposal by Dallas to adopt the American Association’s ruling which prevents any club from acquiring a player after May 15 each year from any major league club which holds an interest in the member organization. Beaumont fears that its Texas League franchise would be transferred to Shreveport were quieted when R. L.

Feldman had no chance against the southpaw last night. Miller’s speed and ringer aft won most of the rounds. Miller weighed 127, Feldman 130.
