By Eddie Ash Stories of Baseball Turmoil Leak Out mum Giants’ Clubhouse Was a Fighting Pit

N o- that the baseball boys are back home chinning with the natives around the comer store things are coming to light that were left untold and unchecked when the baseball season closed. One incident involves a fight that took place in the clubhouse of the New York Giants during the final week of the season. The poor, old Giants, thinking the National League pennant was in the bag, suddenly went into a tailspin and wound up back of the eight ball. It is said the clubhouse battle was in two parts, first, between pitcher Hal Schumacher and manager Bill Terry, and, second, between pitcher Roy Parmelee and Terry. It has not been disclosed if either scrap went to a decision. New York writers, commenting; on the subject, say it is to be regretted that the boys did not start swinging sooner. The scribes declare it was a lack of fight in the closing weeks that cost the Giants the flag. Fights between ball players are not lasting. They are the result of frayed nerves, disappointment and criticism when in a slump. Differences are patched up over winter and manager Terry is not likely to dispose of pitchers of the caliber of Schumacher and Parmelee. a a a ana The Perfect Picker Pete football selections are helping the postoffice business no end. Selections slips rolled into The Times by the arm load last, week and The Times’ sports staff was hard put to it today checking all ol the scores. The names of the high pickers will be published tomorrow. It wa impossible to complete the job of checking in time to print the good and bad news today. This column conductor went haywire again on some games Saturday and muffed five and a tie in twenty-two tries. Sixteen winners were turned in. On the Oct. 13 games the 98"„ Wrong Club record was twelve winners, five misses and one tie in eighteen shots. a a a a a a WHAT becomes of the air that isn’t used now that the football is smaller? The Monday morning quarter backs use it to pump up their bellows after guessing ’em wrong on Saturday. Coach Lou Little of Columbia will need extra air and smelling salts to explain the downfall of his Lions. Oh, Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean was sunk by a Navy Man o’ War. The Columbia ’’mouse trap play” that beat Yale was just so much cheese to the Middies. a a a a a a De Pauw Tigers possess what it takes. They are all there in the A old clutch. The Tiger goal line hasn’t been crossed since 1932. Eleven victories, all shutouts. Hanover tried hard enough Saturday, but the determination of the Hilltoppers was matched by De Pauw, and in the end class told the story. There wasn't the slightest indication of an upset once coach Neal’s warriors gained the upper hand. Evidently De Pauw is stroncfbr than even its most ardent supporters estimated previous to the Hanover tilt. The contest had been forecast generally as close, with a threat of a surprise. The threat only lasted one period. De Pauw and Butler now are the only Hoosier college teams undefeated this season. And they don’t meet. a a a a a a THE treasurer of the St. Louis Cardinals ball earn is handling the personal appearances of the Dean brothers in vaudeville, according to Billboard.

The reason is George Veenker. For five years Veenker, while coach at Emerson high school in Gary, directed the Golden Tornado teams through undefeated seasons. From there he moved into Michigan as an assistant coach and when basketball coach Mather was ill for some time before his death. Veenker was the man actually in charge of the volverine net squads, although it was not generally publicized. About two years ago Veenker accepted the lowa State athletic directorship and football job in preference to his assistant job at a Big Ten school, and it no doubt gave him great satisfaction Saturday to push a leading Big Ten rival all over the lot. Veenker was instrumental in forming the Northern Indiana High School Athletic Conference while at Gary and his activity in the football field played an important part in placing the northern Indiana high school grid teams on the high plane they now occupy. George hails from Hope college. a a a a a a Answer to Brightwood Athletic Club: Charlie Gehringer. Detroit Tiger second baseman, bats left-handed. He is not a switch hitter.

TIGERS UNBEATEN; PURDUE IN BIG TEN WIN

De Pauw Extends Shutout Record to Eleven Straight; Irish Also in Grid Triumph Purvis and Carter Make Long Runs for Touchdowns as Boilermakers Defeat Badgers, 14-0; Wabash and Earlham Are Other State Winners. BY DICK MILLER A jinx was broken, a tradition upheld, an undefeated, unscored upon and untied record was maintained and a home-coming celebration was smeared as the highlights of the Indiana collegiate football program last Saturday afternoon. , With their touchdown duet sufficiently recovered from ankle injuries to permit them to score on long runs against Wisconsin, Duane Purvis and Jim Carter sent 16,000 Purdue home-comers away from Ross-Aae stadium at Lafayette thrilled to the heart over a sensational comeback by the Boilermakers and a 14-0 triumph over the Badgers.

Completely superior to Carnegie Tech in every department of the game, Notre Dame sw’ept to its second consecutive victory of the season, downing the Tartans, 13-0, and breaking a victory jinx that Coach Harold Harpster had held over the Irish dating back to his playing days at Carnegie in 1926. The one sad note sounded in the week-end program of Hoosier gridsters was the crushing defeat of Indiana by Chicago by the count of 21-0. De Pauw, that began a run of victories at the start of the 1933 season and finished undefeated, untied and unscored upon in the sevengame campaign, continued on to its fourth similar victory this season, making the chain eleven straight with a 20-0 triumph over the vaunted Hanover team. Central Normal, all set to smear Earlham and please the home-com-ing folks, was in turn made the goat or the smearing program and it was Earlham that tossed the wrench into the machinery and emerged victorious, 14-6, at Danville. Wabash got back into winning ways at the expense of Rose Poly and to the tune of 25-0, while Oakland City, on the receiving end of several previous drubbings this fall, took another one at Evansville Saturday, the exact count being 19-0.

Purdue-Wisconsin

Flashing a marvelous comeback after two straight opening season setbacks, Coach Noble Kizer’s Purdue warriors took their first Big Ten assignment in high gear and were aggressors throughout the game until the final minutes, and then their great defense staved off two determined Badger drives inside the ten-yard line. Wisconsin gained an edge in first downs, 11-8, but the Purdue total does not include the sixty-four-yard dash by Carter and the eighty-yard run by Purvis that produced twelve points. In addition an early game thirty-three-yard dash by Carter for another touchdown went for naught when the ball was called back and a penalty inflicted on the Purdue eleven. The first quarter went scoreless, but midway of the second quarter, another penalty halted the Boilermakers on the twenty-two-yard line and a great kick sent them to their own tenyard line. Purdue gained in an exchange of punts and then Carter cut back over tackle, used all his masterful elusiveness to do the sixty-four yards standing up. Danny Toriello place-kicked the additional point. Soon after the next kickoff Wisconsin fumbled and Loebs recovered on the Boilermakers’ two-yard line, but Purdue was not equal to the task of putting it over. The half ended with Purdue making two other unsuccessful tries to get over the line after piercing deep into Badger territory. Purvis kept the ball well in Wisconsin territory with his well-placed kicks and there is where Doc Spear’s men made most of their first downs. Daily intercepted a pass and took it down to the invader's eight-yard line, but again Purdue failed to get over. Wisconsin booted one over the Purdue goal line for a touchback in the last period and Purvis, who came back in for Daily after a short rest, broke through on the first play for his eighty-yard jaunt and Wayne Sandefur came back from guard position to plack kick the extra point.

Notre Dame-Carnegie

Bill Shakespeare provided a thrilling run of fifty-five yards to give the Irish an early game 6-0 lead over Carnegie. In the second half Andy Pilney, who relieved Shakespeare, tossed a fine pass to Captain Vairo and the Irish leader had only to fall over the line for the second touchdown. Although Notre Dame so far has scored six touchdowns this fall, it was not until Bruno, a third string quarter back, drop kicked the extra point after the Vairo score that the Irish bagged one of those allimportant after touchdown tries. It cost them a 7-6 defeat from Texas, but did not hurt them as they defeated Purdue. 18-7. There were not many first downs scored successfully, Notre Dame making only five and Carnegie three. Carnegie held up through the fine punting of Joe Mihm.

De Pauw-Hanover

It seems that as the tougher games bob up in front of De Pauw and the opposition is conceded better chances to smear the perfect record of Coach Gaumy Neal's Tigers, that much tougher the Dc Pauw boys become. After defeating Wabash and showing great power in early season games, Hanover was afforded an excellent chance to break the string of unscored upon games if not defeat the Tigers before the 6.000 Old Gold Day home-comers. In the first quarter things certainly looked bad for the Tigers twice as the Panthers tried goals from placement that missed by inches. Jerry Hay, brilliant Hanover full back, broke loose early in the game

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1934

Week's Grid Card

State Colleges Saturday Butler vs. Wabash, at Crawfordsville. Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame, at South Bend. Purdue vs. Carnegie Tech, at Pittsburgh. Franklin vs. De Pauw, at Greencastle. Rose Poly vs. Evansville, at Terre Haute. Manchester vs. St. Joseph’s, at North Manchester. Ball State vs. Valparaiso, at Valparaiso. Oakland City vs. Central Normal, at Oakland City. Hanover vs. Louisville, at Hanover. Earlham vs. Bluffton, at Richmond. Eastern Illinois Normal vs. Indiana State, at Charleston, 111. and took the ball to the twenty-five-yard line. His first attempt went under the bar. After De Pauw kicked out the Panthers came right back down again ar a this time Hay missed a field goal from the tenyard line. De Pauw’s forwards smeared Hanover’s running attack and a Panther punt was blocked. It bounded back into the end zone where Bollinger dove on the oval for a touchdown. Kay place-kicked the extra point. Early in the second half Rpb Fribley, who may not be a Bo McMillin, Don Wheaten or Red Grange as an open field runner, but who is a human dynamo in power and usually good for at least five yards, joined with Bollinger to march down the field. Fribley scored from the one-yard line. Kay’s kick for extra point failed. Fribley again unleashed his powerhouse attack on the Hilltoppers in the last quarter and an eighty-yard drive resulted in seven additional points as Kay kicked the last try. Hanover never gave up and threatened right up to the gun.

Chicago-lndiana

Jay Berwanger, whom they have tagged the “Man in the Iron Mask,” “the Masked Marvel” and other titles because he wears a protector over a badly injured nose, was entirely too tough for Indiana. The great Chicago half back was directly responsible for nineteen of Chicago’s twenty-one points just as on Oct. 13 he was responsible for the crushing defeat handed Michigan. Jay returned a kickoff ninety-seven yards for the last Chicago touchdown Saturday and then retired. Previously he had plunged through the Crimson line for the first marker and later hurled a fine pass to John Baker for the second. Late in the game Bob Keck fumbled the slippery ball as he attempted to kick from the end zone and the safety gave Chicago two more points. Berwanger kicked a placement after one of the touchdowns. It was the second Big Ten win for Chicago this season, the only time since 1927 the Maroons have scored such a feat. It was Indiana and Purdue who were the victims that year. It also placed Chicago at the top of the conference standing today.

Earlham-Normal

Passing enabled the Earlham Quakers to down Central Normal, 14-6, in the Normal home-coming. After passing to Popovec and placing the ball on the four-yard line, Hall plunged over in the first quarter. A blocked punt paved the way for him to plunge over again in the third period. Overman scored both extra points. Lattimer scored late in the game for Normal after triple and lateral passes carried the ball down the field to the one-yard line. Pounding the line for consistent gains full back Freeman of Evansville college scored two touchdowns over Oakland City and Grote cut over tackle for another. Graham kicked the extra point after one and Captain Tebav was a bear on defense for the winning Aces.

Wabash-Rose Poly

Herman Berns was the big noise in the Wabash 25-0 win over Rose Poly, scoring his first marker in the second quarter. The Cavemen produced fine interference for Riggs as he dashed thirty-seven yards for the second marker, and after Riggs intercepted a pass and Berns hurled one to Snyder for fifteen yards. Berns dashed around end for the third marker. Gerow climaxed a determined Wabash drive down the field in the last quarter for the final marker. Snyder drop kicked one extra point. And if you haven’t heard it the finest piece of gridiron play anywhere Saturday was turned in right here on Hoosier soil. Jim Carter, former Washington high school star of Indianapolis, noting that two Wisconsin men were about to tackle his mate, Duane Purvis, who was off for a touchdown, made a perfect, beautiful block that took both Badgers off their feet and permitted Duane to continue on untouched by further tackier*. Nice going, Jim.

Gophers Hold Top Rating in Big Ten Race Purdue Seen as Dark Horse; Five Teams Have Clean Conference Slates. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 22.—Five Western Conference teams today remained unbeaten in league competition, with Chicago heading the parade with two victories. Ilinois, lowa and Purdue have won one game each. Minnesota hasn't played a conference game. Here's the way the contenders rate: Minnesota—Favorite. Illinois—Second choice. Chicago—Third choice. Purdue—Dark horse. lowa—Long shot. lowa Next for Minnesota Minnesota's 13-7 triumph over Pittsburgh not only established the Gophers as Big Ten favorites but as strong contenders for the national football title. With victories over North Dakota State, Nebraska and Pitt, Minnesota will open its conference schedule next Saturday against lowa and then meet Michigan, Indiana, Chicago and Wisconsin in order. On their past record the Gophers will be favored over each individual opponent. Chicago proved its 27-0 victory over Michigan was no fluke by smashing Indiana easily, 21-0. The Maroons used thirty-nine players and might have won more convincingly if coach Clark Shaughnessy had desired. After two defeats in nonconference games. Purdue opened its conference schedule with a 14-0 triumph over Wisconsin, a more convincing victory than the score indicates. Jimmy Carter and Duane Purvis, Purdue's touchdown twins, playing together for the first time this season, reeled off two dazzling runs for the scores. Ohio State in Comeback lowa’s stock dipped sharply downward when lowa State crushed the Hawjceyes, 31-6, in one of the year’s biggest upsets. Any kind of an lowa State victory would have been a surprise, but the size of the score was a shock, which even Ames wasn’t prepared for. A 64-yard touchdown run on a punt by Ferris Jennings, 140-pound quarter back, enabled Michigan to defeat Georgia Tech, 9-2. It was Michigan's first victory after losing to Michigan State and Chicago. Ohio State made it a perfect day for the Big Ten in intersectional competition by coming from behind in the final period to defeat hitherto unbeaten Colgate, 10-7, after losing to Illinois by one point a week ago. Notre Dane's stanch defense was in defeating its old Nemesis, Carnegie Tech, 13-0, on two plays. Notre Dame’s staunch defense was the feature of the game.
