Three Big Ten Tilts to Draw Nearly 150,000 Other Western Conference Games on Tap; Buckeyes Expect Breather. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY I Pr* Mall Carrr.psad.nt CHICAGO. Nov. 2—A Hollywood billing lor th<> Big Tens three headline football battle* tomorrow would read something like this: Illinois-Army—“Stupendous ’ Minnesota -Michigan—’ Colossal." Purdue-Chicago—“Terrific." Those three football games, which will attract about 150.000 spectators, promise to merit the advance description* given them. National and Big Ten honors may hinge on the result* of those three gridiron conflict*. in which three of the country’s twelve major unbeaten and untied teams will attempt to continue their all-triumphant campaigns. Three other big game* will be played in this sector, but they are so far overshadowed by the three headliners that they are almost pushed back among the want-ads. In two conference games. Involving second division teams. Northwestern meets Wisconsin at Evanston and lowa plav* Indiana at Bloomington. Ohio State has a brea’her against Western Reserve at Cleveland. Army's I.at Big Ten Foe The Illinois-Army game at Champaign brings together two unbeaten, untied teams in the nations big game for the day. A crowd of 60 000. largest throng to attend a game In Champaign since 1920. will see Bob Zuppke pit his aerial circus against Army's high-stepping backs, led by Texas Jack Buckler. Illinois, with one of the greatest passing attacks ever developed in the west, hopes to close out its relations with the Army on even terms. The Illini won 17-7 In 1929. Army triumphed 13-0 in 1930, and last year. 6-0. Tomorrow's game will be the last for a Big Ten team against the Army until the West Pointers adopt a conference ruling. Minnesota's powerhouse team will attempt to wipe out the memory of many defeats by Michigan in the annual battle at Minneapolis for •'the little brown jug” before a capacity crowd of 58.000. The Gophers haven’t beaten the Wolverines at Minneapolis in modern footbgll, and hold only two victories since the turn of the century—a 34-6 triumph in 1919 and a 13-7 victory’ in 1927. Both scored at Ann Arbor. Gophers Want Big Score The long-suffering Minnesota followers want not only a victory, but they want the Gophers to roll up as large a score as possible. Although Minnesota is a 4 to 1 favorite over the thrice beaten Michigan team. Coach Berme Bierman would settle for a 7-0 victory over the Wolverines and call the game off. Pug Lund, spearhead of the Gopher attack. has a chipped bone in his thumb and will play under a handicap. if at all. Art Clarkson, another half back, hasn’t recovered from injuries received in the Pitt game. Phil Bengston, regular tackle, is out with a sprained back. One of the hottest offensive battles on any gridiron tomorrow is likely to be enacted when Purdue meets Chicago in a struggle for Big Ten supremacy. Both are unbeaten in the conference, while Chicago is undefeated against all opposition. N. Y. U. TAPERS OFF FOR CARNEGIE TUSSLE By Press NEW YORK. Nov. 2—A final light workout at Yankee stadium today will prime New York university’s eleven for tomorrow's meeting with invading Carnegie Tech. The Violet squad is expected to rely much on its aerial attack against the Ski bos. Two changes in the back field will see Charlie Siegel at quarter and Nat Machlowitz at full.

Spirit of Rockne Prevails Again as Layden Rekindles Notre Dame Fire

BY DICK MILLER Timm Staff Writer SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Nov. 2. Ringing out above the noise of happy voices and the splash of dressing room showers came the staeatfo rails: “Vairo! Elser! Pilnev! Millner! Fromhart ! Bonar!” It was the voice of Elmer Lavden. Notre Dame’s “New Deal” football roach, announcing the names of the players chosen to make the trip to Pittsburgh, where tomorrow’ the Irish battle Dr. John Sutherland's Pitt Panthers. Where bedlam prevailed a moment before, quiet suddenly existed. The names of the honored fortytwo soon would be known, Joe Petritz, veteran publicity director, leaned over to Jack LeddQn, South Bend sports editor, and whispered. “Sort* makes you recall the old days of Rockne, eh Jack?” And truly so. Because, day by day, the old timers see things becoming more and more like those days, the days when the Viking coach and his Irish warriors ruled the national football world.

Davis Cup Hopes Dimmed as George Lott Turns Pro Doubles Star Joins Tilden-O’Brien Barnstorming Troupe; Other Members of U. S. Team May Be Lost. By XSnitr4 Press NEW YORK. Nov. 2.—George Lott turned professional; Frank Shields entered the movies: Lester Stoefen is expected to join the pros any day now. All of which dims American Davis cup hopes for 1935. Announcement came yesterday that Lott of Chicago, recognized generally as the world's foremost doubles player, had become a member of the Bill Tilden-Bill O Bripn barnstorming troupe. Lott, member of the Davis cup ■

team every year since 1928 with the exception of 1932. signed to make a professional tour in 1935. opening at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 9. Terms were not revealed, but it is understood he declined a SIO,OOO straight guarantee in favor of 124 per cent of the gross receipts. In making the announcement. O'Brien admitted he and Tildes had been negotiating with Stoefen of Las Angeles, the country’s third ranking singles player and Lott's

MINNEAPOLIS—Doubt was expressed today about Pug Lund's ability to play in the MinnesotaMichigan game tomorrow. The Minnesota half back has a chipped bone in the thumb of his right hand and coach Bierman is undecided about using him. If Lund ’doesn't play, George Roscoe will take over the left half back post. Phil Bengston. right tackle, also is likely to be out with an injured back. Sagilio, Day Meet in Return Battle Winner Hopes for Chance at Ross’ Title. By 1 nitr if Prrtt CHICAGO. Nov. 2.—Two young slashing Chicago lightweights. Davey Day. slender Hebrew, and Frankie Sagilio. burly Italian, will meet in a ten-round return bout at the Chicago stadium tonight, and the wimner may go on to a title bout with champion Barney Ross. A crowd of 12.500 is expected to pay $25 noo to see the second engagement between the two youngsters. In their first bout at Mills stadium last summer, they fought a draw after both had been on the floor from wicked punches. Sagilio is a 6-5 favorite. In the ten-round semi-final Frankie Battaglia, formerly of Winnipeg. will meet Hayden (Young) Stuhlev, Wewanee, 111., middleweight. LITTLE GIANTS VIEW PURPLE ACE ATTACK By r. Mfi Bpeeiel CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind.. Nov. 2.—Wabash college varsity gridmen stood aside for more than an hour yesterday watching a parade o! Evansville formations —as interpreted by the Wabash freshmen. Coach Vaughan used the plan to demonstrate to the Little Giants what they are to tackle when they meet the Purple Aces at Evansville tomorrow. The Wabash mentor wound up the drill with a signal rehearsal and 1 dummy scrimmage.

Directly in contrast to his old master, in that he is a stripling of a man, taller and lighter, with a heavy head of black hair, Layden has many of the traits of his great teacher. Some were inherited through his long association with “Rock,” and his constant counsel with his tutor after he graduated and took up coaching work. Others came, as they did to Rockne, from the traditions and the environment of Notre Dame. The pulses of the near 100 hopefuls quickened. It was the first road trip of the season after a four-week stand at home. In the next five weeks trips will be taken to Cleveland to meet Navy, to Evanston to battle Northwestern, to New York to tackle the Army, and to the golden west to battle Southern California. There was a time during the past three years when the interest in making the varsity did not flame so heatedly. But this is anew era. and those who w’atched the era of

doubles partner. He hoped the California'giant would sign shortly. Lott and Stoefen scored the only point for the United States against .England in the 1934 Davis cup challenge round. Later they successfully defended their United States doubles title. In addition they hold the indoor title. Lott was ranked among the first ten American singles players virtually every year for the last decade. Rankings for 1933 placed him tenth. Frank Shields of New York, the country's No. 1 player, entered the movies this week, but his contract permits him to continue playing tennis. Since he w-ill not make tennis pictures, he still is regarded as an amateur. But the experts fear that his movie work will not give him time for competitive play. Tournament competition takes much time and requires extensive traveling. Should Stoefen follow Lott's example, and if Shields does not compete, Wilmer Allison and Sidney Wood probably will be the Davis cup singles players next year. Allison and John Van Ryn, a veteran team, may be used in the doubles, or Gene Mako and Donald Budge, brilliant young California combination.

Wh a t Is the American lion ling Congress? The American Bowiine Congress is the name of the national association and governing body of more than 300.000 bowlers. It is also the name given to the great annual tournament of that association, familiarly called "The A. B. C.” What Does the "A. B. C.” Mean to the Host City? It means entertainment of the world's greatest sports event—--10.000 participants—2o.ooo members of their families and spectators to see this great show during a six weeks’ period. These 30.000 persons are here for two to three days each and spend an estimated sum of <1,000,000.00. t What Must Indianapolis Do to Get the “A. B.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Rockne develop, feel also that the era of Layden is certain to come. The man who put Duquesne on the map before taking over the assignment at South Bend, has little to say and much to do. The blocking of the teoms the ' last three years gradually had dropped away, the tackling had been poor, and the confidence of the players, a vital requisite to win. was shattered. There were few threads for Elmer to catch. Spring football enabled the coaches to get across some of the lessons in fundamentals. Calisthenics now take a prominent part in the daily practice sessions, and Notre Dame has had few injuries this fall. New Tackling System Anew system of tackling drill has been introduced by Layden which gives every man plenty of practice at diving for human targets—freshmen who are adept at running, sidestepping and feinting. This, opines Mr. Layden, beats the old tackling dummy system, with the players waiting in line to hit the sack. Few plays have been given the varsity until now. Elmer wished to develop a knowledge in his men of what they w’ere doing before he attempted execution. The team was not ready to start against such a formidable foe as Texas. But it was only by a 7-6 margin that the Irish lost. Against Purdue the Irish showed possibilities, and against Carnegie Tech, positive power. Notre Dame defeated Wisconsin, 19-0, last week. And “Doc” Spears of Wisconsin tagged the Irish the best team he had seen since 1930. Elmer Layden has drawn approval for the way he has handled the situation of his younger brother being on his own team. Mike Layden is a great player. There are boys on the team who think Mike is so good that Elmer is not giving him the break he deserves. Os course, that is the feeling Elmer wishes the boys to have. At present, Mike is third string half back, ready to step in and win for Elmer and Notre Dame whenever called upon. “Link” in Fine Form The return of George Melinkovich and Jack Robinson, stars of the 1932 team, already has paid big dividends. “Link” has used that old "sudden death” play for several long runs and touchdowns this fall. Don Elser and Andy Pilney, both great interscholastic players who slumped at Notre Dame, are showing marked improvement. So as the stacatto voice rang on, —“Melinkovich! Robinson! Solari! Pojman!”—the spirit of Notre Dame mounted. Those not called swallowed their pride and cheered mightily for those selected. The Panthers had humbled them. 12-0, in 1932. and 14-0 in 1933. Layden, for years a coach at Duquesne. also located <n Pittsburgh, is familiar with the style of the Panthers. The Irish—and coach Elmer Layden—departed to Pitt primed for victory.

THE high point in the Indiana university football .season comes tomorrow w'hen the Hoosiers battle the Hawkeyes from lowa university in Memorial stadium at Bloomington as the home-coming feature for the I. U. grads. Indiana has a habit of producing at least one major upset a year. It will be recalled the Hoosiers halted Minnesota one year when the Gophers were headed for the Big Ten title. Another year they dropped their rival Purdue in a tip-over of the dope bucket. Coach Bo McMillin has revamped his lineup and has spent considerable time with Tony Holmquist, Michigan boy, and Roy Eads, former Kokomo flash, who are expected to break into the limelight as ball toters. Chris Dal Sasso, former all-state tackle at Clinton, where he played on state championship teams, has been showing fine form at Bloomington. Indianapolis is represented on the Hoosier squad by Donas Dischingcr, former Tech high school star, a lanky end who can go up in the air and get them. Equipoise May Start in Belmont Event By Times Special NEW YORK. Nov. 2.—Barring unforseen developments, C. V. Whitney’s Equipoise will be a starter in the $5,000 Whitney gold trophy race at Belmont Park next Tuesday, it has been announced. Mr. Whitney said Equipoise was greatly benefitted by his race at Narragansett Wednesday, despite the handicap king’s unexpected defeat.

Garden to See Cream of Light Glove Tossers Six Strong Contenders for 135*Pound Title on Card Tonight. BY JACK CUDDY Vnitfd Prc St*ff Crrnp<mdit NEW YORK. Nov. 2.—The boxing game, which has been in the dumps these many weeks, will receive a stimulating dram of punch tonight when six aspiring lightweights of the east, midwest and far west tangle in three ten-rounders at Madison Square Garden. Although Tony Canzoneri and Lew Ambers are not.on the menu, it is passible that the next challenger for Barney Rass’ crown may emerge from the shindig. Two young men who have held Ross to draws collide in the feature bout: Harry Dublinsky of Chicago and Frankie Klick of San Francisco. They appear so evenly matched, habitues of punch promenade are betting dollar for dollar. Once Beat Tony Dublinsky is a refreshing character, No. i7 in a family of twentyone children, who first showed signs of becoming a fistic marvel during gastronomic warfare at the stormy Dublinsky dinner table. At first, he says, he got only the softest part of the chicken—the gravy—but as his technique and physique improved, he was marching off with a leg. He is quite a fighter now. and recently won an easy decision over Canzoneri. Klick, the “Portola . Pippin,” has been hailed by some observers as a second Ad Wolgast, bearing a striking facial, physical and fighting resemblance to that famous oldtimer. He is a fast, two-fisted body smasher and a clever ring general. In 150 bouts during six years of professional fighting he lost only seven. Two were to Canzoneri, who stopped him in their last encounter by closing one of his eyes. Jackson to Meet Falco In another melee, young Peter Jackson. California Negro, makes his eastern debut against Tony Falco, a Philadelphia Italian. Jackson, who has been likened by west coast critics to the great Joe Gans, has been impressive in his New York workouts. He is tall, well proportioned, and an excellent counter fighter with a formidable left hook. He knocked out thirty-two of his sixty-eight opponents. Falco is a tough, crafty club fighter who is always coming in. In the third ten-rounder, Eddie Cool, the Irish slugger from Philadelphia who recently knocked out Eddie Ran, tackles A1 Roth, one of the best Jewish fighters developed in the Bronx in years. TECH RESERVES WIN Barnett Scores Twice in Game With Shortridge Seconds. Before a handful of fans, the Tech reserve grid team defeated the Shortridge seconds 12 to 0 yesterday afternoon at Tech field. Early in the second quarter Barnett, Tech half back, went over for a touchdown on a sweeping end run. The extra point failed. In the fourth period Harden threw

a twenty-flve-yard pass to Barnett, who again galloped over the goal
