GRID PASTIME ‘COCK-EYED’ AS EVER
Football Gets Off to Usual Inconsistent Start as Big Teams Bow in Upset Wave Alabama and Stanford, Rose Bowl Rivals Last Year, Fall Before Expected ‘Pushover' Teams; Few 1934 Powers Still Strong. BV JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NTEW YORK. Oct. 14 A casual survey of the national football picture I following the games of the week-end indicates that the great autumnal hysteria has lost none of its whimsical, cock-eyed qualities. ’ Asa mild starter I call your attention to the fact that both the teams that participated in the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day were beaten on Saturday, Alabama tailing beforp Mississippi State, a second-rate Dixie power, 20 to 7, and Stanford bowing to the University of California at Los Angeles, 7 to G.
A year ago Alabama beat Mississippi State 41 to 0. and at a corresponding date Stanford beat U. C. L A. 27 to 0. Put that was a year ago. Nothing
changes so swiftly and completely as the relative characteristics of a football team from year to year. Some of the old established firms manage to achieve a certain consistency, but they merely represent, the inevitable exceptions that prove the rule.
Williams
Os the great number of top ranking teams that, started the 1934 season with such high promise and hope only a bare handful remained to warrant national recognition at the end of the campaign. Minnesota was the best team in the country. In the No. 2 group came Pittsburgh, Alabama, Ohio State and Stanford, with Rice and Colgate being close up. Gophers Are Consistent Alabama and Minnesota went through the season with clean slates, unbeaten, untied. That’s a difficult performance in itself in these days of circus football. Stanford didn't lose a game, but was tied once. Thp only game Pitt lost was to Minnesota. Ohio State missed a point after touchdown and was beaten by Illinois. Ohio State was the only team Colgate failed to beat. Rice was held even by Louisiana State and beaten by Texas Chris- | 'tan. Rut on the whole these teams set the pace a year ago. Some of them still are going pretty strong. Minnesota, lor one. Despite the loss of Pug Lund, Stanley Kostka and Julie Alfonse, the Gophers were strong enough to take Nebraska in stride last week—and the chances are they won’t be called on to handle a tougher assignment all year. Purdue Is Challenge Right now Purdue shapes up as the only team liable to challenge the Gophers’ march to another unbeaten season. The schedule doesn’t call for a meeting with Pittsburgh this year, as it did a year ago, nor, have any arrangements been made for a date with Ohio State, the most talked-of team of the year. Much of the class of the football i map seems to be centered in the j Big Ten in particular and the Mid- j rile West in general, but even so it | may be difficult to draw a clear cut, convincing line of superiority when j all the returns are in. P’or example, Minnesota and Ohio State do not meet —and at this date the critics concede they are the class of the Conference. If they play up to form and win all their Conference games, it’s going to be hard to split them out, as they say at the track. East Is Puzzle Trying to tell where the class ot the East rests at this precise moment is sheer guess-work. Until and when later ballots prove otherwise Pitt must be accepted as the leading power. Princeton doesn't seem to have as much this year as last.! The Tigers just did outnose Penn two Saturdays ago and they had plenty of trouble with little Williams in the more recent test. The Yales, on the other hand, seem to have taken up where they left off a year ago and are playing smashing football. They lived up to all the hallowed traditions of the fighting Bulldogs by coming from behind to beat Penn in a game that looked hopelessly lost. Thev handicapped themselves by loos? and indiscreet handling of the ball in the early stages of the game, but when they finally started to click they moved forward with energy, efficiency and enterprise. Pigskin Plagiarism—Who Cares? The most impressive thing about the Yales' performance was the diversity and smartness of their attack—which was shameless in its exploitation of pirated plays, but engaging in its smoothness of operation. Mr. Lou Little of Columbia would have been flattered by the expert manner in which the Yales worked old KF-79—as would the gridiron genius from whom Mr. Little lifted the Rose Bowl play in the beginning. The policy of the Yales these days seems to be. “we don't care where we get the plays, as long as they work for us” And since this is the policy of mast football teams the proper comment would seem to be: •What of it?” The Yales will get a suffer test this Saturday when they go against Navy. There is reason to believe Penn is over-rated. At best, the Quakers are early starters. They bog down after tiie half. Without attempting to take anything away from the YTiles there is something markedly wrong with a team that fades after taking a 20-6 lead. The Middies aren't liable to do anything like that. .1/ urbarger Named as N. R. .4. ‘Trials’ Chief John J.

r FWO season's individual records were hung up last week as the loops of the city went through their schedules. Lee Carmin, a member of the all star cast
known as the Cook’s G o 1 dblumes soared to a 731 during the Friday night matches of the Fountain Square Recreation League. Knitting games of 219, 246 and 266, Carmin bettered the old ma rk posted by Nan Schott two weeks previous by 20 pins.

The Uptown Recreation League, in session Wednesday night, furnished the second 700 total of the week, when Arthur Rowley, a retired Army officer, combined games of 246. 233 and 221 to halt right on the coveted mark. Rowley, who last year in Chicago was a member of the renowned Randolph League, is a member of the Ko-We-Ba Coffee team at the North Side drives. One pin separated Johnny Murphy from the third 700 series of the week. The youthful kegler mowed down 699 sticks during his appearance in the South Side Business Men’s League. Don Johnson, who is enjoying one of his best seasons, turned in a pair of stellar performances, one a 692 in the Courthouse League and the other a 679 in the Indianapolis. In posting a 687 in (he Intermediate League on Thursday night, Francis “Pug” Leppert, manager of
he Uptown Recreation Alleys, missed a perfect score by one pin, the No. 3 standing between him and the bowlers’ "Hall of Fame.” His 299 became the best single game effort of the season, replacing the 289 rolled by Don Johnson Sept. 16.

Paul Striebeck turned in a nifty pair of series, a 684 in the Indianapolis and a 654 in the Fountain Square. Lou Meyer, the East Side youngster, chalked up two sets better than 650, getting a 669 in the Printcraft and a 650 in the St. Philip No. 2. Other outstanding series were: Carl Hardin (Indianapolis). 669; Paul Stemm (Fountain Square), 667: Red Mounts (Indianapolis), 665; Ernie Krutsinger (Lions Club), 655: Jess Pritchett Sr. (Optimists), 654; Ray Thomas (Commercial), 652; Bud Sehoch i Indianapolis), 650, and Herman Bohne (Indianapolis). 650. Team honors again went to Cook’s Goldblumes, its 3134 and 1125 in the Indianapolis League session being the best three-game total and single game of the week. The team was but two pins light of its India napolis League mark in the Friday appearance at the Fountain Square. Seven other flvesomes were over the 3000 mark, Flap Jacks getting 3066 in the Fountain Square Recreation; Bowes Seal Fast, 3062 in the Indianapolis; Bake & Vans D-X Service. 3058 in the South Side Business Mens; Falls City Hi-Brus, 3048 in the Indianapolis; Lieber Lager, 3044 in the Indianapolis; Marmon-Herrington. 3038 in the Indianapolis. and Indiana Wheel and Rim. 3023 in the Elks. HAROLD KOCH, chairman of the ticket committee of the Indianapolis American Bowling Congress Tournament Corporation, reported in a meeting of that group in the Hotel Severin yesterday that more than S2OOO already had been collected from the advance sale of season tickets, although the opening date of the classic is many months away. Other chairmen submitted reports on the progress of their committees, and after the session. Paul Crosier, president of the corporation, announced that without doubt the tourney next spring would be the greatest in bowling history. One of the biggest problems of the local body after being awarded the 1936 event was that of heating the huge coliseum during the six weeks of activities. Arrangements have been made, it was reported in yesterday's session, to start work immediately on a heating plant that will assure the thousands of participants and spectators warmth and comfort during the progress of the event. Launrh Lccal Campaign With a record entry of visiting teams assured. Mr. Crosier announced that the tourney corporation would concentrate its efforts during the next few weeks toward the enlistment of 3000 local quintets. With this quota in view, the initial open meeting for Indianapolis pastimers will be held at the Severin Hotel headquarters next Saturday night.

Orville Brown will attempt to clamp his pet hold, the “Indian deathlock.'’ around long, lanky Roland Kirshmeyer tomorrow night at the Armory’ where the two wellknown grappiers will clash in the top tussle on the all-heavyweight card of the Hercules A C. Orville boasts that once he connects with his Indian deathlock,” it stays put. but it is doubtful if he has ever tried it out on such a tall grappler as Kirshmeyer. The Oklahoma artist stands six feet, seven inches. Roland specializes in the flying hook scissors, a style of offense that is difficult to avoid. The bout promises plenty of action. Orville scales 220 and Kirshmeyer 228. Two other tugs are on the card, the first at 8:30.
I Leacue have been victorious In fifteen ?ames. Cook's Goldblume leaders of the Inj riianapolis League have tasted defeat but | once in 18 eames S & S Body and Fender Service has a record of 11 victories and ; one defeat in the Delaware Recreation; General Superintendents of the Big; Four j loop have won 14 and lost one. and Rough Notes, top team of the Insurance League, have received but one setback in ; 12 games. All other league leaders have been beaten in two or more games, and many hold their top positions by narrow margins. In 1 many Instances races are so close that the league leadership may be changed overnight. Previous to last Friday’s games, six ] teams of the Bankers League were tied for second place, just one game behind the leaders. And the eighth place team was but one game behind the second placers. Carl Hardin, the portly kegler of "I hits ’em" fame, has again achieved a position that he is constantly gunning for. He is the individual average' leader of the ’ all-star Indianapolis League, rated as the fastest loop in the city, and one of the : best, in the country. Hardin, rolling in the anchor position for the Fall City Hi-Brus, has an average j of 214. holding a two-point edge on Don Johnson, who has 212. Series of 362, 678. i 625. 661, 667. and 669 have pushed the i "big boy" to the top. and he is determined i to hold that position, casting aside many predictions that others were supposed to do the same thing. The initial tournament of the season will he a five-man lOftt) scratch affair, and will he held at the Pritchett Alleys Saturday and Sunday Oct. 26 and 27. First prize will he S3OO if an entry of 100 learns is received, otherwise 40 per rent of the prize fund. Fntry fee has been set at $lO a team, including bowling, and all entry money must be paid before 12:30 p. m. Saturday, Oct. 26. Teams must use at least three of their regu'ar members, using the average from the league from which they are entered. Piek-up members will use their highest league averages, and all entrants participating must have bowled in at least 12 games in sanctioned leagues to receiye handicaps. Drawings for alleys will be held on deck just : before the start of each squad. BOWLINGRAMS—What a headache that 126 proved to be for Ronald Wittmann.

Jean goes for a horseback ride with Sandy He sends her roses, takes hvr to lunch She and Bobbv go to the Goiden Fea'her again. Sandv is there with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis NOW’ GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER EIGHT T\4"R. LEWIS, like his wife, seemed to be of a friendly disposition. He was gently jocose with Jean, assuring her that Sandy had been able neither to sleep nor eat properly since he had met her. “All I’ve heard,” he said, “since that other night, has been a lot of stuff about some beautiful mama with golden hair.” He sat slumped down in his chair and looked at Jean with sly impudence. “Is that right, Sandy?” she asked. “It’s been worse than that,” said Sandy lugubriously. “I’m wasting away to a shadow.” “Too bad about you,” she said lightly. "You look healthy enough.” The music stopped and Bobby and Eve came back to the table. Bobby was duly introduced to Mr. Lewis and as they sat down Jean discov- | ered that her conscience was trying to make itself heard again. “There you go,” said Conscience. “You're egging me on.” “I'm not.” said Jean indignantly. “Can’t I say anything to him?” “You were jealous when you saw Sandy with Eve, but you weren't .jealous a bit when Bobby danced with her,” said Conscience. “I won't listen to you any longer,” said Jean firmly. A ripple of laughter gxeeted her as she emerged from this bit of selfi communion. Bobby had just told some funny incident or other that had occurred that afternoon while he tried to sell an automobile to a pompous dowager. “She said. ‘Only $2500? That isn't nearly enough!’” he repeated. Mr. Lewis looked at him writh interest. “So you sell autos, do you?” he asked. “Well. I try to.” “Mmm. Who you with?” “State Auto Sales. Incorporated.” “Uh. That's Mark Hopkins’ agency, isn’t it?” "Yeah.” “Who's Mark Hopkins, dear?” asked Eve. “Oh,” said her husband, “he's quite a guy. He runs this big auto agency here, and he's a sort of sport promoter on the side. I guess he’s in politics some too, isn’t he?” “I guess so,” said Bobby. tt tt tt lEWI3 stared at the drink which .j the waiter put in front of him, and held the glass cupped in his hand for a long time, studying it intently. “Listen.” he said to Bobby at last. “You and I might be able to do some business, one of these days.” Bobby looked at him expectantly. “Yeah,” went on Lewis. “I'm going to be needing anew car. Might as well let you sell it to me, I guess.” He yawned lazily. “That’d be swell,” said Bobby. Lewis continued to look at his glass. "Trouble is,” he said, “I got a | little deal to put over, first.” Bobby looked at him expectantly. Eve also turned to her husband. “Now listen,” she said, “let's not talk business here. Were supposed to be here for recreation tonight. Besides ...” Her voice trailed off uncertainly. “Okay,” said Lewis, good-natured-ly. “Tell you what; when we’re ready to leave, let’s all buzz out to our place for a coupla minutes. Then you girls can fix up a little midnight lunch, and while you do Mr. Wallace and I can talk business. How about it?” It was agreed, and the subject was dropped.

dancing, much gay conversation and joking, and at last Eve yawned elaborately and announced that it was getting late. It was 10 o'clock. They left the night, club and walked half a block to where a large, expensive sedan was parked by the curb. Lewis unlocked it and slipped m behind the wheel; and Jean wondered, vaguely, why he should be wanting anew car when he already owned such a fine one. Fifteen minutes later they drew up before an ornate apartment hotel !on the western side of town. He left j the car at the curb, ushered them into the lobby and conducted them up to a sixth floor suite. They entered a roomy, weilfurntshed living room. Eve sank into an overstuffed chair and announced, "I'm too full to want any ; midnight lunch, and I bet all the rest of you are, too. Go ahead and talk business, if you want to.” Bobby found himself seated on a couch beside Lewis. Lewis iight--1 cd a cigar and said, “Well, it's like ; this. Your boss, Hopkins, has got a special job out there I want. It's | a sedan, and he wants SIO,OOO for j it.” Bobby gaped at him. “I didn't know we had any jobs ! out. there that cost that much,” he ; said. “This is a special job, I said," said Lewis. "Custom-built, and all. Anyhow, that's the car I want. Now listen.” tt tt tt HE crossed the room suddenly, went to a desk, unlocked a drawer and took out a long, bulky envelope. He brought this back and resumed his seat on the couch. “In here,” he said, hefting the envelope meditatively, “I've got some bonds. They have a face value of $14,509, and they're good as old wheat in the bin. But I've got to be careful what I do with ’em.” He looked at Bobby. “I got these.” he said, “from a friend of mine in Chicago, in settlement for a debt. As I say, they’re worth 100 cents on the dollar anywhere. But here’s the catch. This | friend of mine is in politics, out in | Chi, and he got the bonds from a bird who runs a string of dog- | racing tracks and such around that | neck of the woods. “The deal was perfectly o. k„ but since then the dog track man has got into a jam with the county grand jury and they're investigating all of his deals. Now, the trouble is this; those bonds are registered, and if they once turn up anywhere they can be traced right back to him. And you see, it would look bad for this politician frieijd of mine if it should become known that he had got them from this bird who is in such a jam.” He tapped Bobby's knee with the envelope. “You know how it is.” he said. "Everything was all right—only it would look bad. It’d be poison, in fact, plain poison, as far as my friend is concerned. He just don't dare have these bonds come to light until this blows over. That's why he let ’em go to me at a discount, and that’s why I've got to do the same thing, because 1 don't want to market them at a bank or broker’s office in the regular way.” He paused again, and looked at ; Bobby fixedly. “Now then,” he went on. "I want a car that costs ten grand. I got these bonds that are worth fourteen and a half—if a fellow can hold 'em a year or two. I'd be willing to let j ’em go for the price -of the car, if I could find a fellow that'd take em off my hands that way. See?” "But listen.” said Bobby, slightly confused, “I haven’t got the capital to swing a deal like that. I can't buy your bonds and hold ’em a year.” “No, no, of course not,” said Lewis smoothly. “But look; suppose you or the young lady here” —he gestured toward Jean—“suppose you happen to know somebody that can. You sell them to him. You can get more than ten grand for ’em. You could probably shove ’em for twelve, without trouble. That way you make a nice cut for yourself. See what I mean?” t> tt a T)OBBY leaned back and wrinkled his brows. “You mean,” he said slowly, “that it would amount to my buying them from you for 10, selling them for 12, and pocketing the difference?” “That's it. Only you wouldn't have to put up any cash yourself.” Bobby meditated. “The only trouble is that I don't believe I know anybody that could swing it,” he said. “I bet daddy would do it.” said Jean suddenly. They laughed at her. Lewis laughed and shook his head. “No, sister.” he said. “Your dad’s a banker. We could sell them to any banker. What we want to do is place them with somebody that'd be willing to keep them in a safety deposit box for a year before he either sold them or clipped the coupons.” Jean sat with her hands clasped about her knees. Bobby was slowly shaking his head. “It's just no use, I guess,” he said. “Gee. I'm sorry. I could use that dough.” He looked wistfully at Jean. “Well,” said Lewis. “Think it over. And there's this, too; I buy that car from your agency, and you’re the salesman on the deal, so you get your commission there as well.” “That'd be swell,” said Bobby. “Think it over,” said Lewis. “Listen —give me your phone number. I'll give, you a buzz in a day or so—huh?” Bobby agreed; and later—after Sandy had driven him home, dropping Jean at her apartment en route —he sat long in thought over this peculiar, but dazzling, proposition. “If I could make $2000,” he said suddenly. I could ask Jean to marry me. She would marry me, then—she's practically said so. Oil, doggone it, who do I know tnat's got money, anyhow?” He smoked two cigarets while he thought futilely over this problem; then, at last, an mspiration struck him. He reached for his telephone and called up Jean. After a long wait her sleepy voice answered. “Jean honey—listen,” he said. “You know what we were talking about tonight—about those bonds?” “Yes,” she said sleepily. “I bet I know who and buy them,” he said. “Will you introduce me to him, so I can try to sell them to him?” “Who is it?” “Your boss—Mr. Montague!” (To Be Continued)
