By Eddie Ash Tigers, Crimson Forget Old Bitterness • • They Have Not Clashed Since 1926

S; pRINCETON and Harvard renew football relation tomor- * row after a lapse of several years. The big institutions £ went to war during the 1926 game and relations were diss rupted. Harvard described the Tigers as roughnecks and i Princeton men decided to let the Crimson alone for a while. The Harvard Lampoon was directly responsible for the break. The Crimson publication ridiculed the Tigers and * pages from that issue in 1926 indicate the Harvprds went £ entirely too far. As one opened the Lampoon there was a 5 sketch of two mired hogs and beneath it were these words, * "Come, brother, let us root for dear old Princeton.” Another cartoon depicted a number of Princeton men, : all pretty much the worse for liquor, staggering in front of a jj tavern with the sign "Ye Olde Helle Hole.” Another paragraph described the Princeton slogan as “Spit out that gum H and chew an Harvard q^r.” a • m mum PRINCETON went into that 1326 game with a determination to “get even" and the Tizera slammed over a 12-tn-0 victory. The Lampoon * ridicule got In ita work and Harvard lost an old playmate until this year S when representatives of the universities Joined up and smoked the peace 3 pipe. All Is forgotten now. The Lampoon of 1926 stopped at nothing. On one page of the > "poison edition” this question was asked, Are you a Princeton man?” - Several individuals reply, “No, I was kicked by a horse. “No, the nurse dropped me.” “No, I have to wear my father's pant and they are too f big for me.” “No. I'm a hair-oil salesman.” •% On another page a master cartoon was carried, titled “The Romper 5 Bovs of Princeton.” A girl at the Princeton station sees a lot of lads I- dressed In white and she thinks they are street cleaners. The conductor £ says, “don't worry, lady. These are only Princeton men in their beer 2 suits.” Is it any wonder the Tigers dropped Harvard? ana * nan fr •pvUCKY MEDWICK the “one man riot” in the 1934 world series, at .

Medwick took up league ball under the name i of Mirkev King, but went back to Medwick after a rapid advance in the V salaried profession. He is a ball pmver of manv monikers, such as Ducky Wucky. Mickey t and the Hungry Hungarian. He entered league pastlming in 1930 with ‘ Scottdale in the Mid-Atlantic League and batted .419. This fat hitting ' average changed Joes mind about attending college and he kept right on going up the baseball ladder.

Nellie Flag Promises to Step Out as 3-Year-Old
Rangy Wright Filly Bids Fair to Prove Exception to Rule Females are ‘Through' at 2. BY HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Servie Editor. CHICAGO. Nov. 2.—What will the turf’s pretty misses of 1934 do in 1935—Nellie Flag. Black Helen and Motto? Nellie Flag appears to have the best chance of going on. Nellie Flag is big. rangy and well made, like Princess Doreen. This daughter of American Flag is the property of the Calumet Farm of Warren Wright, who sold his trotters upon the death of his father and purchased run-
< .
ning stock. Black Helen, unbeaten in a half ! dozen starts for Colonel Edward Riley Bradley, seems constructed for sprinting. Motto, owned by C. V. Whitney, won a couple of the better stakes in brihant style, but slipped in the closing weeks of the campaign, when she could not carry her weight against colts. The fact that Nellie Flag was able 1 to repel the masculine gender in late fall is some indication that she may be able to go over a distance at 3. yet many players will lay off of her on general principles in the rich events of next spring. These wouldn't play a filly at 3 If she had | wings. Few of them have clicked after 2. The great majority of them have had to be given exceptionally good weight allowances to run with colts. Top Flight Slumps While Mata Hari acquired the Illinois Derby and the Illinois Oaks, she was a flop in 1934. along with , Bazaar. More than $500,000 was ' lost when little Top Flight couldn't gpt her mind on racing and the Kentucky Derby of 1932. They had chucked it into the winter books to that extent on the strength of Top Flight having been the best animal in training at 2. regardless of sex Top Flight was unbeaten at 2. when she" replaced Prircess Doreen as the richest strength of Top Flight having been time in one fell swoop with $219,000 to her'credit. Burgoo King, the Derby winner; Universe. Economic and Indian Runner couldn’t even warm her up. Only Tick On got close to her. Yet at 3 there wasn't a colt she could beat. The colts simply were slow in developing in Top Flight's 2-vear-old year, and she was a filly of remarkable speed and developed early. Bright Derby Prospesct But Owner Wright undoubtedly will nominate Nellie Flag for the Kentucky Derby, and her smash;ng victory in the Kentucky Jockey Club stakes at Churchill Downs the other afternoon assures him of having one of the winter book favorites. That's where Derby choices and winners are unveiled—Reigh Count, Clyde Van Dusen, Twenty Grand and Mata Hari. And Nellie Flag negotiated the mile of the Kentucky Jockey Club fixture in 1:37 3-5, nearly two seconds less than Mata Hari required to bag the number a year ago. It was the fastest time recorded in the raca since Twenty Grand took

M’MILLIN SHIFTS I. U. LINEUP FOR lOWA
Vercuski Gets Experience as Blocking Back Fred Johnson May Be Given Opportunity at Guard in Home-Coming Tilt.* By T\mr* Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Nov. 2. Coach Bo McMillin's Indiana university football team tomorrow is expected to make its strongest bid for a Big Ten victory when it entertaias lowa here before a homecoming crowd at 2 p. m. The Crimson gridders are strengthened by two weeks of hard drill and rest from competition, due to an open date last week-end. They have lost Big Ten tilts to Ohio State and Chicago, but hold a victory over Ohio U. and tie against strong Temple. Injuries Slow to Heal Injuries still hamper I. U., despite the long rest, and Fox and Yoder, capable ball carriers, are not expected to see much action. Ettore Antonini, veteran end, also is bunged up and may have to stay on the bench. With the probable starting lineup juggled eonsiderably, the old Prayin’ Colonel McMillin has hopes any way of beating the lowa grid machine, which Ossie Sofem will have in the best condition it has been since it romped over Northwestern, 20-7, early In the season. Anew face in Bo’s five-man back field this week is that of Bronko Vercuski, senior tackle, who is listed in the lineup as an end. In reality Bronko now is a blocking back, and will play that position Saturday while on offense. Walker to Call Signals Another change has Fred Johnson, a guard and end, at guard. Johnson, who came back to school this year after a two-year absence, has improved steadily. Wendel Walker, usually playing full back, probably will call signals tomorrow'. lowa will have its greatest potentialities in ground-gaining combinations together .in Captain Russ Fisher, Oze Simons. Dwight Hoover and Dick Crayne. It was this outfit which ran up scores of 35-0 against South Dakota U. and 20-7 against Northwestern, but which has been without the seryices of the sparkplug Captain Fisher, since that time. Tomorrow’s probable starting lineup: INDIANA lOWA Kelso L. E Walker Schilawskl L. T Foster Beeson L. G Dee Spraner C Osmaloski Johnson R. G Gallagher Dal Sasso R. T McDowell Vercuski R. E Page Walker Q. B Fisher Veller L. H Simmons Keck R. H Hoover Davis F. B Crarne
it from Equipoise by the barest fraction of a nose to hang up a new' 2-year-old mark for the mile, 1:36, in one of the greatest races ever run. Previously, Nellie Flag captured the Matron stakes in the mud, and hung up a 1:38 for future generations to shoot at in the Selima stakes. Nellie Flag's Dam Nellie Flag has only to follow in the illustrious footsteps of her dam to make good in 1935. Nellie Morse topped Transmute and Mad Play to bag the Preakness of 1924 for Bud Fisher. Other later-day exceptions to the rule that a filly is finished at 2 are Princess Doreen, Edith Cavell and Tred Avon. Edith Cavell. which starred at two and one-quarter miles, nosed out the stayer. Crusader, over that route in 1927. Tred Avon, which whipped Equipoise and Gallant Sir in accounting for the Washington handicap of 1931, is reported being prepared for racing's comeback in California this winter. But Nellie Morse, Princes Doreen, Edith Cavell. Tred Avon and Regret before them were—and arerare exceptions. Regret hoofed it home first in the Kentucky Derby of 1915 to be the only filly ever to win that blue ribbon event. Breeders have been waiting since the turn of the century for another Beldame. Hamburg Belle, or Artful. Or another Miss Woodford, which reigned shortly before that smacking trio as the first really standout racing mare since Ruthless, the finest ever developed in this country.

Numa-Rascher Match Stirs Fan Interest Young Heavy Wrestlers Will Meet for First Time at Armory. Local wrestling fans are displaying more interest in the Leo Northwest) Numa vs Andy Rascher main go tussle scheduled for the Armory next Tuesday night than in any match the Hercules A. C. has staged this season, according to matchmaker Lloyd Carter. Carter's personal opinion of the bout is that it will be a “natural.” The match brings together two of the young outstanding huskies in the professional ranks. Rascher is rated the Hoosier state's best heavyweight and he also is conceded to be the best young heavy in the middle west. On the other hand, Numa is rated the best of the young heavyweight stars on the Pacific coast. Past records of the stars fail to furnish much “dope” to make a comparison, for Rasher has never opposed any western grapplers who have met Numa, while Numa is new in this territory and has met but few of the heavyweights in this section of the country In his first appearance tiere, however, Numa defeated G. Bashara, the former Oklahoma A. and M. athlete, w'hile Rascher and Bashara went to a thirty-minute draw. Numa has won three local bouts in a row. Numa hails from Seattle, and is a protege of the late Charlie Hansen, one-time “big time” heavyweight ace. Leo w'as a football aqd baseball star at the University of Washington. Rascher, who lives at Cedar Lake, Ind.. w r as a grid anc i mat star several years ago at Indiana university. Andy weighs 212 to 215. w'hile Numa scales between 218 and 220.

Sweet Mollie. won the Narragansett feature. She paid $27.50 for a $2 ticket. Other long shots winners at the same track included Horatio Hugh, who paid $77 for a $2 ticket in winning th£ third race. The outstanding upset of the day occurred at Pimlico track, when J. Lowensteins Bqbblesome paid $100.50 for $2 in the mutuels after beating out Harry Murdock's Band Wagon by a nose.

Butler's Bulldogs left Union station at 2:27 this afternoon for St. Louis, where they hope to extend their “new r deal” program to an upset over the strong Washington university eleven tomorrow. Thirty-nine players, coaches and trainers made the trip to meet an opponent considered the toughest on the Butler schedule this fall. Edward Trott, suffering a broken nose, will be the only member of the squad not available for the battle. Coach Tony Hinkle has perfected several new plays and developed speedier back field punting this week with an eye toward boosting the Bulldog record to five victories in six starts. The Mound City machine has become notable this fall as a nemesis to opposing punters. Blocked kicks .have figured in several of their scores this season. It will be the only out-of-state game of the season for the local warriors. DUSEK THROWS ROMANO NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Rudy Dusek.
