RAGING CRITICS CARRY ON HOT DEBATE IN NEWSPAPERS

Verbal Battle Raging on Virtue of N. Y. Turf Recalls Walker Quip to Williams ‘Nothing So Dead as Yesterday’s Paper,’ Gibed Former Mayor, but He Forgot ‘Tomorrow’; Swope and Sloan Slap Back in Each New Edition. BV JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer; NEW YORK. Nov. 7 —Between football huddles it comes out that we have a little disagreement between a couple of the boys who are running the hoss racing racket in our state —and since it seems to be generally accepted that as New York racing goes so does the rest of the business in this particular field, it may be of interest to look into it. One of the boys, Mr. Herbert Bayard Swope, who is, behind his back in the press box, called Mr. Herbert Barnyard Swope, is on record as saying that racing, in its essentials, is a very beautiful thing and,

w aajiiiK Uint i ill ith tixDtii 1 moreover, that somebody who is really full of music should write an

opera about it, or at least a George Gershwin folk piece. On the other hand, another of the boys, by name Mr. John Sloan, who spends most of his time plotting blue prints for the bigger buildings of our town, seems to be of the belief that racing as she is

Joe Williams

raced hereabouts is pretty terrible. Reading the newspapers one gets the idea that everything Mr. Swope likes, Mr. Sloan doesn't like. This should be qualified to a certain extent. There never would be a public controversy if it were possible to stop all editions after you had had your say. The distressing thing about newspapers is that they keep on getting out new editions. This gives the other fellow a chance to answer you. Jimmy Walker’s Line And being an after dinner speaker at heart, I find it impossible to refrain from one of those, "This reminds me incidents.” It so happens the gentleman is now back in our midst—and it so happens I think he is a pretty swell guy. I refer to Jimmy Walker. Well, on this particular occasion Mr. Walker was being belted around rather robustly by the newspapers—and I also wish to say I think (whether he was taking the gafl for somebody else or not) the belting was thoroughly justified, the gentleman got up and made this crack. Mr. Walker was called on to speak. And mind you, this was in the midst of the we-don't-want-Walkcr-campaign. Mr. Walker got up, went through the stupid Emily Post formalities that seem so much a part of a fried chicken dinner in this country, and then turned to the muscular publisher of the Graphic, Mr. What's His Bicep, and said: “Mr. MacFadden, there is nothing so dead as yesterday’s newspaper.” A Penetrating Reply You couldn't hear anything else for the cheers. To me it seemed a swf-ir crack. A typical Walkcresque crack. One of the expressions that made him a symbol of New York. That was being quick on the trigger. That was New York, hot stuff, bang-bang, take that, you yokel. Avery large gentleman, not dressed in the nest traditions of Page 18 of Esquire, was listening that night. Down in his heart he liked Jimmy Walker. But he happened to be one of the strange—one of the strangely honest men—who was able to turn a button, and by turning such a button, he was able to see through a phrase. He repeated, "There's nothing so dead as yesterday’s newspaper, eh? That's right. But somebody should tell Mr. Walker there is nothing so lively as tomorrow's newspaper." Somehow that struck me as one of the most penetrating phrases that has ever been uttered. And it was uttered by Hey wood Broun, who has been around more spots than Mr. Walker will ever know about —and will brag about it, if pressed. Mr. Broun was never so right. The newspapers that came out the next day and the next day drove Mr. Walker to France and he didn't come back until the newspapers de- . ui'i to be tolerant—and nobody tv s that better than Mr. Walker, all the cordial handshakes he gets from the retiring Broadway columnists and such like. Back to Swope and Sloan This may or may not be going a long way to catch up with Messrs. Swope and Sloan. Mr. Swope issued

Old Strangler and Giant Redskin to Mix in Mat Clash Lewis and War Eagle Sign for Armory Go. Ed (Strangler) Lewis, the “grand old man” of the mat game, is expected to have his hands full next Tuesday night at, the Armory where he is to make his appearance in the feature attraction on the allheavyweight wrestling card of the Hercules A. C . The veteran Lewis will pit his years of experience against War Eagle Strongbow, 283-pound Indian “giant” from Oklahoma. The match is for two falls out of three. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has been bidding for Strongbow’s services for several weeks, but was unable to sign the Oklahoma Indian until the latter was ofie.ee! Q shot at Lewis. War Eagle has been in the game but a short time, but his services have been sought by many of the leading promoters throughout the country. The Lewis-Strongbow battle *wi!l bring together in one bout the two heaviest grapplers ever to meet in an Armory ring. Their combined weight totals 530 pounds, as Lewis scales around 247. The Oklahoma Indian is the biggest matman in the game with the exception of Man Mountain Dean who is rated more of a "bruiser'’ than a wrestler. Quill Scores Cue Victory Over Pilz Captures Tourney Match in 87 Innings. Leonard Quill defeated Sonny Pilz in a state three-cushion billiard tournament match at Harry Cooler's last night. Pilz had high run honors, grouping four in one inning. The match was contested over 87 innings. A1 Greenberger will meet Larry Shapiro in a tourney contest tomorrow at Cooler’s. Gaels Tune Up for Tilt With Fordham /?/ United Pres* RYE, N. Y„ Nov. 7.—The Galloping Gaels of St. Mary's, who play Fordham in New York Saturday, went through a light workout this afternoon at the Westchester Country Club, where they are quartered. The Gaels arrived yesterday for their fifth invasion of New York and immediately went to work on a defensive scrimmage against Fordham plays. The California eleven will limber up for the last time tomorrow, running signal drills and practicing punting and passing. a statement in which he said everything in metropolitan racing was swell. This was typical of Mr. Swope. Everything would have been all right if Mr. Sloan hadn't come along and said there are a few things that are not all right. Those of us who know Mr. Swope and racing in New York would have been disposed to yawn and say, "what of it?” But Mr. Sloan comes along and talks about gangsters, and by implicating fixed rates, that naturally makes us feel terribly bad.

BY ART KRENZ NEA Service Sports Artist "ITI7ITH one minute to play, V ▼ Notre Dame’s pass from Bill Shakespeare to Wayne Millner clicked, and the biggest “stunner” of the current football season was registered in an 18-13 victory for the Irish over Ohio State. The score stood 13-12 against Elmer Layden’s boys after Andy Pilney had advanced the ball to the State 19-yard line and then was borne from the field on a stretcher after he had pulled a tendon in his ankle. Shakespeare came into the game in Pilney’s place. With the ball on the 19-yard line, Shakespeare took a pass from Pojman. center, faded back and to the right, and hurled a perfect forward to Millner in the end zone. Peters, Irish right end, went down as a decoy and cut out to right. Mazziotti, right half, also went down as a decoy and cut to the right. Ruetz, left guard, pulled out of line to protect Shakespeare, and Zenner, right guard, pulled out for the same purpose. McKenna, quarterback, took care of Hamrick, State left tackle, and Danbom, full back, took out Busich, Ohio State left end. Normal Points for Final Season Tilt Danville Warriors Brush Up on Aerial Attack. Time a Special DANVILLE, Ind., Nov. 7.—Central Normal College’s football team has been spending this week perfecting its forward pass offensive in preparation for the final game of the season against Eastern Illinois at Charleston Saturday. Twenty-six men will make the trip. Central’s probable starters will be Roudebush and Fisher, ends; Martin and Lattimer, tackles; Morris and Smith, guards; Franklin, center; Hendryx, quarter back; Albright, full back; Gullion and Williams, half backs. If the Normal warriors are successful in beating Eastern they will close their season of seven games with only one defeat. Three tilts ended in ties. Feldman Winner in Bout With Kreiger Times Special NEW YORK. Nov. 7.—Abe Feldman, New York light-heavyweight and a leading contender for the crown now worn by John Henry Lewis, scored a technical knockout last night over Johnny Kreiger. Jersey City. The K. O. came in the fourth round of their scheduled 10rounder at Mecca Temple. Joe Sekyra. Dayton heavyweight, had little trouble in gaining a decision over Vincente Parrilli, Argentina, in a 10-round semi-final. DEFENSE IS STRESSED BY EAST SIDE COACH Following a general workout. Coach R. L.'Ball sent his green-clad gridders through a heavy defensive drill yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Tech-Washington game at the east side field tomorrow. A light workout today will conclude the week's preparations for the game. John McHugh, tackle, who received a sprained ankle earlier in the season, has joined the squad and probably will see action tomorrow. MANUAL INJURIES GROW Just when Coach Harry Painter of Manual believed he had struck upon a smooth-running combination at Delavan Smith Field yesterday. Donald Ash and Howard Ellis suffered injuries. Ash suffered a sprained shoulder and Ellis a nose injury. Leachman, who also is on the injured list, has failed to improve, and it is doubtful if any of the three will play at Bloomington Saturday. RAMBLERS WANT GAMES The East Side Ramblers desire basketball games with strong teams who have access to gyms or are willing to share expenses. Call Woody at Irvington 7320. IRISH HOLD WORKOUT A dummy scrimmage against Southport formations featured the workout of Coach Joe Dienhart's Cathedral High School warriors yesterday for the tilt with the Cardinals in .Butler Bowl Monday afternoon. *

On Saturday morning they play St. Anthony’s at Brookside Park. Cathedral likewise has been victor in all its games, but due to the fact the league has eleven teams, one must draw a bye each week. The Cathedral lads trounced St. Catherines iast week, 27-0, but expect to face tougher competition this Saturday when they play Holy Cross at Riverside. Holy Cross looks on this game as a fine chance to stage a bigupset. Holy Trinity, the third team to sport 1.000 per cent in the standing table, drew a bye last week. Earlier in the season the Trinity game with St. Phillips was postponed, so the Haughville boys have only three victories to their credit. This week the Trinity warriors tackle the St. Patrick’s team. Only one game in the league so far has ended in a deadlock, St. Anthony’s and St. Patrick’s being unable to edge out the other. League statistics follow; PAROCHIAL LEAGUE STANDING W. L. T. Pet.

‘Bargain Day’ Arranged for Butler Game Admission Fee Cut for Final Home Contest With Franklin. “Bargain Day” will be offered state football fans when Butler and Franklin clash in the Bulldogs’ final home game at the Fairview bowl Saturday afternoon. The Butler faculty athletic committee announced today that the huge bowl will be “thrown open” Saturday to every one for an admission price of 40 cents. The school hopes to give all fans an opportunity to see the Bulldogs in action in their final home appearance of the season. The game will begin at 2 o'clock. A varsity-freshman scrimmage featured a lengthy drill at the bowl yesterday. Despite the absence of Spero Costas, regular Bulldog quarter back, the varsity functioned smoothly and rolled up a high score on the yearlings. Coach Tony Hinkle gave his men the “beware-of-an-upset” warning and stressed the danger of overconfidence. Inman Blackaby, reserve full back, has been shifted to quarter back and is improving rapidly in that position, where he probably will start Saturday. Assistant Coach Wally Middlesworth has taken Blackaby “under his wing” and is giving him pointers on grid generalship. Linemen, under the direction of Coach Hinkle, practiced until dusk yesterday.

A prolonged drill in the various phases of kicking, punting, covering of punt receivers and protection of punters was held by Coach A. N. McMillin of Indiana University yesterday. McMillin also spent considerable time trying to find a reliable placekicker to convert after touchdown attempts as he sent the Crimson through their last drill before the trip to play Maryland University at Baltimore Saturday.

Twenty years of successful football at Jefferson High School was celebrated here iast night when th* Hi-Y and Sunshine Society banqueted the 1935 Bronco grid team and executives in the school gym. More than 400 fans attended, with Morris E. McCarty, superintendent of Lafayette schools as toastmaster. Rev. George Ritchie recently assigned to a local pastorate and a four-letter man in athletics at the University of Mississippi, was the principal speaker. His subject was "How and Why You Should Play Athletics." A. B Masters, coach, whose Jeff teams have won 26 of its 27 games during the past three years, awarded the monograms. Jeff was held to a scoreless tie by Noblesville and defeated 11-7 by Shortridge of Indianapolis. Last year the Broncos were undefeated in 10 games. Chet Hill, Kokomo High School athletics director, whose school is one of Lafayette's natural rivals, spoke of the high caliber of competition that exists between the two schools and deplored the fact that Coach Masters was unable to schedule more than two games in the North Central Conference for this year. Jeff tied with Muncie for the title last year. Rules of the conference demand that any team must play four games to figure in the chgmpinoship award.
