By Eddie Ash I. U. Tackles the New Big Ten ‘Phenom’ m m m And Purdue and Badgers Come to Grips

DOTH of the lloosier state's Big Ten grid machines are booked for important action this Saturday. At Chicago Ro McMillin’s I. U. Crimson warriors will stack into the rejuvenated Maroons, surprise team of the Western Conference and conqueror of Michigan, 27 to 0. Indiana leaped back to form last week against Temple and confidence has been restored in the ranks of McMillin’s men. It’s Chicago’s turn to do the worrying. Indiana may catch the Maroons slightly bent from the bruising Wolverine skirmish. Chicago "keyed” for Michigan and now Indiana is “keyed” for Chicago. You w ill have to go a long way to find better entertainment than Purdue and Wisconsin offer in their classics. And as George Kirksey of the United Press, Chicago, said yesterday, “Don’t sell Purdue short on account of the defeats by Puce and Notre Dame.” In other words, it makes very little difference what has happened before when these Big Ten adversaries collide in their own game.

r | Mr. Wisconsin conflict will be homecoming at Purdue and will mart the last home game for the Boilermakers until the final fracas of the season with Indiana Nov. 24. After the Badger battle, the Boilermakers will play four successive games away from home against Carnegie Tech, Chicago. lowa and Fordham, in order. All of which supplies another reason why Noble Kizer's athletes will be determined to tear into the Badgers with all of their power, speed and fight. Incidentally, the Boilermakers have scored one or more touchdowns in lorty-nine out of their last fifty games. Purdue and Wisconsin have met on the gridiron eighteen times since the series was started in 1892. Although the Boilermakers have had the berier of the recent years, the Badgers hold the edge on the series as a whole, with nine victories against six for Purdue. Three of the games have ended in ties. a a a a a a WILLARD BROWN, the dandy and fast-stepping Indianapolis welterweight boxer, is back from a successful invasion of the southland. The 21-year-old glove tosser has issued a challenge to the other home-town pride, Tracy Cox. Willard is a boxer, Tracy is a puncher, and a clash between the pair doubtless would go far to settle a lot of differences of opinions. Brown has climbed to fourth place in welterweight rating, issued by the Ring magazine, and Cox is rated seventh as a lightweight by Ring. However, Cox has mingled with the jifnior welters and welters, and Willard’s fistic weight is about at junior welter figures. Moreover, it is said Cox would not object to a few pounds difference in the event a local promoter sees a way clear to close a match with Brown. a a a a a a COX holds one decision over Brown, earned in a ten-rounder in Texas. It was a close battle and Tracy finished in front by a narrow margin, both boys stepping the distance in high gear. It was their first and only meeting and Willard admits he was a little timid about flirting with the Cox Vallop. Since then Brown has tackled other punchers of reputation and now is willing to exchange blows with all comers. Brown is going under his own power and management. Asa matter of fact he said today that his tour of Dixie the last year was “personally conducted." His next bout will be a ten-canto jam with Eddie Kid Wolfe, at Memphis, next Wednesday night. Both Cox and Brown are on the upgrade again and if there is a ‘‘natural” match locally, this ia it. Both are in the midst of winning streaks. The problem, of course, is to induce a promoter to take a chance. Boxing has been dead here so long that the men who foot the bills are wary of being drowned in red ink. This column has a hunch that a Cox-Brown go at popular prices would pay and pave the way for a fistic comeback in Indianapolis. a a a a a a THERE was a lot of criticism and shouting when Notre Dame football went into a tailspin last year, but the razzing was tame compared to the way some Southern California followers have turned on their own warriors. The “movie madness” charge made by the U. S. C. student publication scorched the Trojan grid boys no end, l it .ney became downright indignant when they were described as “toys to some henna-haired screen beauty.” The girl friends of the ootball players demand to know about that! Southern Cal” takes its football to the extreme. Several years ago wild-eyed boys of the campus kidnaped one of their own classmates and kept h ir n under cover until the Notre Dame game, .ie had expressed admiration for the Notre Dame system and immedia cly was set upon by frenzied r-aters who thought he might tip off Trojan formations to the "enemy.” It took a long time for the university officials to settle with the young man’s relatives.

UNDEFEATED BADGERS COMING TO PURDUE

Game to Open Big Ten Action for Kizermen Boilermaker Win Saturday Would Make Up for Early Losses. By Timex Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 18.—Unsuccessful in two games against nonconference opponents, Purdue will open its Big Ten competition here Saturday in a home-coming game against the undefeated Wisconsin Badgers. The Boilermakers, grim and determined after losses to Rice and Notre Dame, will be underdog to the Badgers, who have downed Marquette and South Dakota State. Injuries have disrupted progress of Coach Noble Kizer’s Purdue squad from the start. At present, Duane Purvis, all-America half back, is not able to play. He has been given a two weeks’ vacation after recurrence on an old ankle injury. Others on the Purdue injury list are Dick Sandefur, full back, who has a broken nose; Ed Skoronski, center, who is slowly recovering from a wrenched back, and George Dennis, guard, nursing a broken hand. Sophs to Assist Carter Kizer’s chief consolation seems to be the fact that he has intact the same back field combination which scored Purdue’s only touchdown against Notre Dame last Saturday. The four are Jim Carter, left half back, around whom offensive plays for the coming tussle are being built; Leon Dailey, right half back and expert punter; John Drake, sophomore full back, and Wayne Gift, sophomore quarter back. The last named, a chunky player, has been an excellent blocker and defensive man along with his offensive playing. , Despite Purdue’s two losses, Jim Carter has been averaging well over four yards per try on running plays from scrimmage. He displayed his old elusiveness last Saturday when he scored for Purdue in the last quarter. Drake, despite inexperience, has been playing a courageous game at both offense and defense. Badgers Have Good Kicker Tackling drills have been emphasized in the Boilermakers’ drill this week, as indecisive work in that department, rather than getting at the ball carriers, proved costly against Notre Dame. • Wisconsin’s outstanding performers include Tom Fontaine, who threw a twenty-two-ya'd pass to start the Badgers scoring in their 28-7 win over South Dakota State last Saturday, and Mario Pacatti, husky tackle, whose placement kick defeated Marquette, 3-0. George Dehnert, Badger substitute full back, showed ability last week by scoring two touchdowns.

The Gophers, with two weeks’ rest since the Nebraska game, will be at full strength. MADISON—With Bill Millar, regular tackle, definitely through with the Wisconsin team, coach Doc Spears today sought a man to take his place.

15.000 See Negro Team Beat Deans; Dizzy Has Shaky Night on Mound

By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The famous pitching Dean brothers—Dizzy and Daffy—cavorted on a Brooklyn diamond last night in the uniform of the semi-professional Bushwicks, to the delight of a crowd of 15.000 and the embarrassment of the Bushwicks. With the invincible Dizzy on the mound, the Bushwicks were cocksure they would beat the Black Yankees. But. as it turned out. the final score was 6 to 0 in favor of the Negro team. Dizzy helped the Black Yankees by yielding two hits in three innings, a pass, committing a balk, and letting the first run of | the game get across on a steal. Daffy, suffering from a sore arm, j played only three innings in right field. Dizzy played five other innings in the outfield. "Ducky Wucky” Medwick. one of the St. Louis Cardinals' world series heroes, played left field for the Bushwicks and went hitless.

Charlie Bush, Indiana State Quarter Back

In the Northwestern lineup today as a result of the 20-0 defeat by Stanford. Geyer will take over full back and Burnett, sophomore end, will be shifted to guard. Both tackle jobs will be thrown open for competition. ANN ARBOR—Michigan showed improvement yesterday on the defensive, but lapsed into its old errors of pre-season practice on the offense. The forward passers attempted to throw the ball as far as they could regardless of whether receivers had a chance to get under the throws. CHAMPAIGN—Bob Wright, alert Illinois pass receiver, is back in good condition after being injured in the Washington U. ’ game, and will add strength to the Illini pass attack for the Michigan game next week. The regulars scrimmaged yesterday after two days’ rest. CHICAGO—Coach Clark Shaughnessy continues to devote attention to Chicago's reserves in an effort to develop more capable substitutes, especially in the line. Captain El Patterson, center, who was injured in the Michigan game, was back at practice yesterday. lOWA ClTY—lowa’s lineup probably will see several changes when the Hawkeyes meet lowa State at Ames Saturday. Coach Solem has made many changes in experimenting with new combinations in secret practice this week. Several sophomores may get the call against lowa State. COLUMBUS—Four changes are likely in the Ohio State lineup for Saturday's game with Colgate. Buzz Wetzel probably will replace Kabealo at full back. Karcher take over Monahan's guard post and Antenucci take the injured Jack Smith’s half back post. Coach Schmidt also ’s considering a change at left tackle. NOBLESVILLE DOWNS WESTFIELD, 25 TO 7 By Timet Special WESTFIELD, Ind.. Oct. 18.—In a game billed for the Hamilton county championship, Noblesville high school’s football team defeated Westfield, 25 to 7, here yesterday afternoon.

Butler Warriors, Left to Right: Ed Trott, guard; Clifford Swift, center; Kermit Bunnel, guard.

WHILE Butler’s “new deal” football team has been crashing through to a trio of early season victories and everybody has been praising the scoring punch of the Bulldogs, little has been mentioned of the defensive qualities of the team. Cliff Swijt, at center, has been tossing back fast, accurate passes to get the back field men off on time. Moreover, Bunnell and Trott have presented a stone wall of defense at guards. These Bulldog warriors are expected to shine when Butler battles Indiana State ‘ Teachers college of Terre Haute in the homecoming feature at the north side bowl tomorrow night. Little Charlie Bush, the “Gallopin’ Ghost” of the Teachers, has been troublesome against every opponent. Last year he was one of the leading scorers in Indiana collegiate football and in three games this fall Charlie has scored six touchdowns and passed to team mates for two additional markers. The Butler management is anticipating the largest crowd of the season at their night home-coming affair. It will be the last night game of the local collegians’ season. The kick-off will be at 8:15.

Ray Fox May Play For /. U. Saturday By United Press BLOOMINGTON, Oct. 18— Ray Fox, Indiana’s injured quarter back, showed improvement today and probably will share in that position Saturday with Don Yoder. Coach McMillin experimented yesterday with several new men in his “fiveman back field.” Coach McMillin made some shifts in the varsity lineup yesterday, placing Tatum, reserve center, at a half back position, and alternating Rce and Hecke, two ends, at tackle for Vercuski, who has sin injured leg.

Writers Name Cochrane for Loop Honors Tiger Pilot Given Title of ‘American League’s Most Valuable Player.’ By United Prext CHICAGO. Oct. 18. Mickey Cochrane, catcher and manager of t£e pennant-winning Detroit Tigers, today had the title ’ most valuable player of the American League” bestowed on him by a committee representing the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Cochrane won the honor by a narrow margin of two points over Charlie Gehringer, his teammate and the Tigers’ second baseman. Cochrane had 67 votes, Gehringer 65. Detroit players were named first on each of the eight ballots, first place counting ten points. Cochrane was named first on six, Gehringer on one and Schoolboy Rowe, who won sixteen straight games, on the other. The fact that Cochrane’s name did not appear on one ballot brought about the close finish between himself and Gehringer. The ten leaders follow: Mickey Cochrane, Detroit, 67; Charlie Gehringer, Detroit, 65; Vernon Gomez, New York, 60; Schoolboy Rowe, Detroit, 59; Lou Gehrig, New York. 54; Henry Greenberg, Detroit, 29; Hal Trosky, Cleveland, 18; Wesley Ferrell, Boston, 16; Marvin Owen, Detroit, 13; Jimmy Foxx, Philadelphia. 11. Cochrane succeeds Jimmy Foxx, his former teammate at Philadelphia, who received the nomination last year. Lou Gehrig, who dropped to fifth, wdn it in 1931 and 1932.
