By Eddie Ash ANDY LOTSHAW STILL I P THERE m m m SWITCHES FROM CUBS TO BEARS
J N 1017 Andy Lotshaw was the trainer for the Indianapolis hall club, lie was a retired ball player and a man with a family. That was the year the youn# ball players had to scurry off to war. Eventually, the Indians reached a point whore they ran out of talent except in the positions where older players held forth. The Indians won the American Association pennant, under .lack Hendricks, but it took some smart maneuvering on the part of Hendricks. Hendricks called on i'rainer ltshaw, who filled in at first base and field. And Lotshaw delivered. Andy was a good hitter in his day and he picked up where he had left off. A “little world series” was played with Toronto of the International League and “Old Man” Lotshaw stayed in there and helped the Iloosiers capture the inter-league title. While the Indians were in Toronto the Canadian war agents collared Lotshaw and suggested that he join the overseas army—not knowing that he was a grandfather. Supported bv references supplied by the Indianapolis club. Lotshaw v n employed as trainer bv the Chicago Cubs a couple of years later. Hr . till there. Moreover, the Indianapolis old-timer in recent years has stepped from baseball to football as a trainer He is "handling” the Chicago Bear of the National Professional Football League now after a hard campaign through spring and summer with the Chicago Cubs, National League champs. ana tt a a lOTSHAW received a good share of the Chicago Cubs' World Series rut this fall and he will collect again from the Chicago Bear griddei r You can not beat that kind of a go-getter, a ball player tabbed a' through" who is now In the coconuts way up high. Lotshaw was one of the fir t home run kings.” He hit 29 during one season in a small minor loop. Lotshaw played a lot of semi-pro baseball around Indianapolis before he entered league service and is well-remembered by the old-timers. He has "smviveri” several new managers at. Wriglev Field. Chicago, and that *s sufficient, evidence to convince the basebail world that Andy Lotshaw of Indianapolis has made good in a big way on baseballs 'main line.” ana n a \ATCHIGAN quick kicks: The Wolverines scored 51 points, in their tVJL first, four games this year, only 20 less than they ran up in its six Western Conference games played during the championship 1933 season. Against Chicago, Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, lowa and Northwestern, Michigan scored 71 in 1933. In four games this year Michigan made 37 first downs, gainea 380 yards by rushing, completed 22 out of 42 passes for a gain of 273 yards, intercepted 11 passes and had five of its own intercepted, averaged 35' t yards per punt, fumbled nine times and recovered five of its own fumbles. Two weeks of practice by the Michigan basketball squad have shown that the Wolverines 1935-36 team probably will be a high-scoring outfit. It is being built around John Townsend, sensational sophomore star from Indianapolis. On the first team now are John Townsend and his brother, Earl, forwards; John Gee, six foot-eight inch veteran, at center; and Capt. Chelso Tamagno and George Rudness, both lettermen, guards. Earl Townsend formerly played at De Pauw. a a a e an DON BUDGE, gangling tennis star, sleeps from 12 to 16 hours a day . . .

The game was played on the D"lavan Smith j gridiron Shortridge crushed Crawfordsville beneath a last-half drive that! netted 20 points at the Athenian city, and the Blue Devils remained tin- j defeated today after six games. The final score was 27 to 12. The local eleven Was on the short end of a 12-7 count at half time.

The game ended, 6-6, both teams missing the extra points. a a a Irish-Manual Young Jack Corriden both helped Catherirai to victory and came near fumbling It to defeat. After a scoreless first quarter young Corriden entered the fray and immediately streaked off between end and tackle for a sixty-five-yard jaunt to a touchdown. Bob Con-, nor tossed a pass to Victor Lanahan for the extra point. Before the period ended Joe Dienhart's charges had amassed 14 additional points. Paul Billman broke through and blocked one o!

Stoshitch was on hand to seize a loose ball that Miner had batted out of Snyder's hands in the second quarter and scored, to tie the count at half time. Tech drove to a touchdown after receiving the third quarter kickoff. A pass. Weaver to Snyder, for 25 yards turned the trick. Laterals paved the way for Stoshitch to score the third Tech marker. A penalty set Tech back in their own territory in the last minute, and Palmer passed to McCreary for the second Frankfort air-pointer. a a tt Ripple-Westfield A thirty-yard pass. Ortwein to Bake-;, who caught the oval in the end zone just before the half ended, gave Westfield a 6-0 lead over Broad Ripple.

College Rivals Clash in Local Grid Feature Wabash Invades for Battle With Bulldogs in Home-Coming. Indianapolis took on a collegiate atmosphere today as Butler University celebrated home-coming and just about all” of Crawfordsville moved in to support Wabash in the annual grid classic between the two schools. The opening kickoff was scheduled for 2 p. m. in the Butler bowl. Both teams sported an unblemished record for the season, with five victories each, and the battle took rn additional importance as both teams fought for the undisputed leadership in the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference. Coaches Tony Hinkle and Wally Middieswcrth sent the Blue gridders through a long signal drill yesterday, using both a dry and watersoaked ball, anticipating any kind of weather for the game. Robert iPetei Vaughan, veteran mentor of the Wabash Little Giants, was forced to make a last-minute change in his lineup, replacing his varsity ends, Wolff and Johnson, with two Indianapolis boys, Home and Long. Johnson has an injured arm according to the Scarlet coach and Wolff is confined to his home with influenza. Both schools staged parades through the downtown district this morning headed by their bands. It is estimated that nearly 10,003 would witness the game.

When the Fiiday loops failed to connect during last night’s sessions, the last opportunity for an individual to chalk up one of the coveted totals was passed up. Honors for the evening were divided between the Washington and Fountain Square circuits, the former furnishing the outstanding solo performance, while the South Side loop produced the best team counts. Kirt Lieber, a member of the Grunow quintet of the Washington merged games of 253.198 and 226 for a 667 to nose out Johnnie Fehr by a single stick for city wide honors. Lieber's top count led his team to a triple victory over Hy-Red Gasoline, which had Charlie Mahoney with his season's best series. 632. as its pace setter. Bob Wuensch cracked out a 657 for J. E. Kernel Opticals, and when his bulging series was backed up by a 637 from Paul Kramer and a 601 from Pug Seyfried the Opticians set anew team record for the season in reaching 3000 from games of 999. 992 and 10009. Their big total enabled them to give Falls City Lagers a triple thumping. Chester Barkman gave Max Patton Case a 635 that enabled them to take two games over Capitol Ice Cos. Rank Black, who posted the only o f her honor count of the evening, a 641. failed to get much support from his McCarthy Furniture teammates and they lost a pair to Coca-Cola. No sensational performances emerged from other team series in which Illinois Five team won three gamse over Hoosier Optical, Lieber's Brewers took a pair from Board of Trade and H. E. Schmitt Insurance took an odd game decision over Pennzoil. nun In the Fountain Square loop, the Cook - * Goldhlume-Marott Shoe frara* turned out to be just a* it was ballyhooed, a nip and tuck affair. Fehr's fill! and a Si! from l.ee Carrain received better support than three 600’s furni*hed be the Marott team, and the Cookmen emerged on the lons end of a two to one score. Paul Stemm with £45. Ed Stevenson with 632 and Larry Coblcr with 607 were the Shoemen's hard hitters. The winner.- totaled 3063 from 922. 1 964 and It)**, while the losers welded games of 1066. MS and 97 4 into a 3005. Taking advantace of the double defeat of Marott's, Falls City Hi-Bru rant through in two of its tames against Acetylene Products and passed the Shoe team in the team standinys. The Brus now rest in second place, two games behind the 'eadint Goldbiumes. The new runnersup failed to land a member in the £OO class, but were consistent enough to offset a (720 from Jack Hunt and a 602 from Bert Cruder of the losers.
