By Eddie Ash Perfect Picker Pete Eludes Grid Fans mm m Nine Winners Best as Season Closes
JLJERMAN WEAVER of Stinesville wrote to The Times this fall and said “Perfect Picker Pete never will be found, because he doesn’t exist.” Well, it looks like Herman had the right dope. The football season is over for another year and the gridiron police have another unsolved case on their hands. Old Picker escaped the dragnet and even Mrs. Picker, alias Perfect Picker Patricia, also eluded The Times posse of football prognosticators. The games of Saturday, Dec. 2, closed the chase for The Times readers in the “selection league” and the “field” of twelve was so tough that growing pains, shooting pains and headaches popped out all through the list, resulting in only three fans registering as many as nine winners, against two misses and one tie. Hats off to the Nifty Nine, two men and a woman. The upsets last Saturday were “terrific. ’ a a a a a a IT was a lot of fun, anyway, and the response by the football fans In sending in selections down through the weeks proved that King Football certainly has a tremendous number of subjects and addicts throughout Hoosierdom. Fact is. if the thing grew any bigger, a special shift of selection checkers would have been necessary to wade through the coupons in order to publish results by Tuesday. High pickers, the Nifty Nine, for the Dec. 2 games were: Professor Warren C. Middleton, De Pauw university, Greencastle. He missed South Carolina-Auburn and Notre Dame-Army. None of the high three forecast the Tulane-I.ouisiana tie. Professor Middleton nailed the upset of Duke and Holy Cross. (’. D. Feld, 116 Monument Circle. Indianapolis. His misses were Notre Dame-Army and Boston-Holy Cross. He named the upset of Auburn by South Carolina and the upset of Duke bv Georgia Tech, picking the correct score for Tech, 6 to 0. .Mrs. J. L. Womark, 3019 North Meridian street. Indianapolis. Her niisses were South Carolina-Auburn and \illa Nova-Kutgers. She picked the correct Kansas-Gcorge Washington score, 7 to 0; named Notre Dame to upset Army, and also predicted the upset of Duke by Georgia Tech. Her Boston-Holy Cross forecast was near the actual score. The above amateur experts were the nearest to perfection in the last rdund-up and Messrs. Middleton and Feld therefore are entitled to share at least a part of Perfect Picker Pete's crown, and Mrs. Wemark certainly deserves an invitation to pluck a few orchids out of the garden of Perfect Picker Patricia, if Patricia goes in for orchids. a a a a a a NEXT are the Elegant Eights, seventeen in number. Many of them turned in some fancy upsets and altogether they gained a lot of ground despite three fumbles and a tie, except one, who had four fumbles, but picked the tie. The Elegant Eights all are from Indianapolis, and they made a courageous effort to climb higher in the I Told You So League. However, they helped increase the membership in The Times* Hall of Experts, as the season ends. The Big Eights follow: John E Kleinhenz, Indianapolis Water Company.

Football Selections by the Fans, with no prizes, has been an interesting sports “serial.” The entire staff of The Times has been pulling for one or more readers to become Perfect Picker Pete, or Perfect Picker Patricia, but the football campaign, at the trail’s end. was “dynamite.” But wait ’til next year!

Bad Wolves Drop Pursuit of Hunk, Yelp Around Yale Bowl
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer TVTEW YORK. Dec. s.—The football season isn't completely over yet. For one thing, the boys haven't named the new Yale coach. You may or you may not know it, but the boys insist upon taking these matters in their own hands. Sometimes I wonder whether the universities really appreciate their help. Up until a few hours ago the boys were devoting most of their time to naming the new Notre Dame coach. Mr. Hunk Anderson had to go. His team had lost five games. But over the week-end Mr. Anderson’s team rose in its wrath and smeared a first-class Army team that went into the game unbeaten and untied. Now it appears that the boys are willing to permit Mr. Anderson to hang around for another season. It seems that it was all a mistake. Mr. Anderson really is a fine coach. The trouble was he hadn't been getting the breaks. The boys hadn’t considered that, but now they understand, and are willing to forget. o a b BUT there must be anew Yale coach. Mr. Regg.e Root, serving his first season and inaugurating a new system, just hasn’t clicked. His team toppled before both Harvard and Princeton, and looked pretty bad generally. The boys won’t stand for that, so Mr. Root will have to go. The university will kindly take notice. Who are the boys? For the most part they are old grads who sit around hotel lobbies the night before the big game and spin tall tales about the giants of yesterday. To them the most important thing about the university is the football team. Their interest in life dips or soars in proportion to the team's success. The boys can be and frequently are very influential in shaping the athletic affairs of the university. They know how to apply the pressure where it is felt. Usually this is through an individual or, an organization which contributes to the university's financial funds. When
Columbia Squad to Play Rose Tilt? What Columbia Squad?
BY HENRY M LEMORE I'nitcd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 5.—1 still don't believe it! That Columbia's going to the Rose Bowl, i mean. Columbia in the Rose Bowl! Ha. ha. ha! The limping Lions picked from all the outfits in the country to do battle with one of those super mankillers of the mighty west. And in the biggest game of them all. No. pard. it can't be true. It's a joke. The fellows who thought it up just jumped the gun on repeal, got a little too ossified. Why. man. Columbia's not a football school. Its dinky little ol' wooden stadium looks like a chicken coop alongside those steel and concrete Cecil De Mille-designed things at the regular football schools.

Klein Tops All Hitters Figures Prove Why Chicago Paid Fortune for Ace Hoosier Slugger. By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Official batting averages, released today, indicate the Chicago Cubs showed good judgment in purchasing Chuck Klein from the Phillies last month for about SIOO,OOO and three players. The slugging Indianapolis outfielder won the National League batting championship this year with a percentage of .368. The devastating German did more than this. Counting the high percentage, he topped his circuit in five batting departments. He led in home runs, with 28; made the most two-bag-gers, 44; garnered the most base hits, 223, and led in total bases, with 365. Klein’s former teammate, Virgil Davis, came second in the batting, with a mark of .349, and Riggs Stephenson of the Chicago Cubs was third, with .329. Davis will be with the Cardinals next year. Team batting honors were captured by the Pirates, who registered a mark of .285. The Cardinals were second with .276, and the Phillies third with .274. The world champion Giants were sixth with .261.

Plan Wabash Grid Roundup Wabash college alumni and friends are going to hold a big football dinner in Indianapolis Dec. 19 at the Athenaeum and there will be many active Wabash men in attendance. Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men plan to make it an annual roundup. This year's Scarlet grid squad will be present and members of the team and coaches Vaughan and Goldsberry will make talks. “W” sweaters for the 1933 season will be awarded at the banquet. Football motion pictures also will be shown. President Louis Hopkins of Wabash will be among the guests. Wabash men in active charge of the roundup arrangements are Harry V. Wade, committee chairman; Paul Matthews, Russell Beyers, Paul Payne, G. Vance Smith, Volney Brown, Jean Black, John Collett and Paul Kistler.
the pressure becomes very severe the university is moved to act. u a u 1 HAPPEN to know that a large and powerful alumni committee is already functioning with thf idea of replacing not only Mr. Root, but the entire football system at Yale. The collapse of the team against Princeton in the final game of the season has quickened the resolve of the boys for action. Mr. Root will need a great deal of inside support if he is to hold his job. As for Mr. Anderson, he appeared entirely through before the Army game, and when at the half his team was trailing by two touchdowns you could have bought his career for one of A1 Smith’s baloney dollars. Thirty minutes later, leaving the field in triumph. Mr. Anderson needed a police escort to save him from the cheering throngs. That's football for you. To be more specific, it is the life of a football coach. Often his destiny rides on the score of one game. By the margin of a point after touchdown he rises to starry heights or falls flat on his beak in the dust of oblivion. There are two or three other assignments that are just a shade softer than that of coaching high pressure football. DODGERS.

Generous Bowlers Step Up and Help Clothe Children
THE HOVOR ROLL Clothe a Child for Christmas 1. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Meyer, two children. BY LEFTY LEE On Monday this column appealed to the bowlers of the city to talk it over among their leagues and at a small cost to each member, the subject of clothing .a child for Christmas. The response in past' years always has been generous and the indications are that the bowlers again will come to the front with flying colors. To start things off right, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Meyer have agreed to care for two'children. While it is true that most of us are not in a position to respond in this manner, we can contribute “two bits” each to make up a “pool” that will provide some poor kiddie with an outfit that will warm the heart and body of the unfortunate. You also will find that is is great fun, especially if you are the lucky bowler selected by your league to take the boy or girl to the store and do the shopping. Call The Times Clothe-a-Child for Christmas Editor, give him the name of your league and tell him how many children you want. He will then turn the child over to you and your Christmas is made. Bob Morris, a member of the Gabriel Sales team of the Indianapolis Automotive League, last night opened his first game w;ith a spare, and then struck eleven times, for the season's high single game of 290, for this league, and second only to the perfect game rolled by Eddie Striebeck last week, for all leagues. Morris made it twelve in a row by starting his next game with a strike, but lost the pocket at this stage and finished with a three-game mark of 583.

concerned. They've got uniforms, and they make the Lion bench look a lot cozier. Why, Lou told me only a few weeks ago—just before the Princeton game to be exact —that he had only seventeen real players. Seventeen players, mind you, and they expect me to believe that Columbia is going out there to play Stanford, out there .in the golden west where 190-pound tackles grow on bushes; where, at the better department stores, they throw in a couple all-American half backs like the butcher used to throw' in liver, with every * purchase over a dollar; and where when a team runs on the field, you can read Anthony Adverse through before the last aenemic 200pounder comes through the gate. No sir! Don’t expect me to believe that Columbia is goins to the Rose Bowl.

Lions Accept Stanford Bid to Rose Bowl Game Indians Criticised in Selection of Columbia as Foe in Traditional New Year's Day Gridiron Battle: Both Teams Were Defeated This Fall. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Cal., Dec. s—Columbia and Stanford, both of whose teams faltered toward mid-season but managed to finish strong, will be the opponents in the annual Tournament of Roses New Year's day football game here. Stanford officials, who extended the bid, professed great delight at Columbia's decision, although the selection of Lou Little's eleven was subject to considerable criticism in some circles. Chief criticism of the final choice was that Columbia's schedule was not a hard one, and that all its victories were over teams that lost three or more games during the season. The Lions lost only to Princeton by a 0 to 20 score.
Irish Win First Game By Times Special NOTRE DAME, Ind., Dec. 5 With acting captain Joe Voegele leading the way, Coach George Keogan's Notre Dame cagemen opened their season here last night with a 30 to 22 victory over Kalamazoo college.

Both Teams Bog Down “Columbia was chosen primarily because of its record,” graduate manager Al Masters of Stanford, said. "Its fine showing in late season more than offset its early de* feat by Princeton.

Indians seemed bogged down when they were held to a tie by North--' western, and again when they lost, 0 to 6, to Washington.

The great finish permitted Stan-, ford to get to the top of the coast conference. The team, with seven sophomores on its regular eleven* gained polish and experience with every game. Columbia never has appeared in a tournament contest before, while Stanford is an old hand in Pasadena. Stanford appeared in the very first tournament game in 1902. The Indians were humbled then, 0 to 49, by Willie Heston and other Michigan greats. Since the beginning of the modern series of New Year's games in 1916, Stanford has appeared three times.
