New Regime Begins Third Grid Season

Butler Opposes Fivansville Saturday Afternoon at Fairview.

The front page of th¢ 1936 chapter is to be written in a Butler University gridiron -ags that is rich in contrasting and colorful incidents when the Bulldogs opea the plot with Evansville College in Fairview bowl Saturday aft £Tnoor. It is to be the third serial by Lhe co-authors of the Biitler foothall restoration—Paul D. ijlinkle and H. Wally Middlesworth. Hinkle nd Middlesworth salvaged {he remnants of four depressing years to reclaim much of Butler's losf prestige by winning the state secondary colicge championship in 1934. In the second year of the new deal, the title was retained. This fall they not only endeavor to complete a | triumphant triad, but attempt to elevate thé Indianapolis collegians a notch in sectional competition. Faces Big Foes ; Butler reopens athletic relations with the University of Chicago, on which campus Hinkle starred in three sports more tian 15 years ago, and steps back info the Bickeye Conference to tackle the University of Cincinnati. Western State Teachers of Kalamazoo, wreckers of a perfect season in the final game last year, also is on the schedule. Five state foes will threaten the title aspirations. There are 21 lettermen to further the plans of the local mentors. After the illustrious Pat Page had placed Butler in a prominent spot starting.in 1920 and Potsy Clark had elevated the local college to “big league” contests. Butler descended into the doldrims for four years. A composition of “growing pains” at the new campus, the depression and differences with the North Central Association ac-

‘I counted for the lean years.

Had Heavy Schedule When Harry Bell took over the depleted squad left by Coach Clark in 1930, Purdue, Illinois, Marquette, Haskell Indians, Ohio University, St. Louis and Loyola of New Orleans still were on the schedule and all took the Bulldogs into camp. Only Wabash was def¢ated. Bell won three and lost five in 1931, and was supplanted by ¥redrick Mackey as Butler entered the Missouri Valley Conference. But the team still ‘could not stack up against the strong out-of-state schools. Only eight games ‘were won out of 31 in four years and one was tied. Hinkle and Middlesworth started

| from scratch. They lost to Wash-

ington of St. Louis, fied Wabash and won six in 1934. llany of the sophomores of that team are the seniors of the current aggregation.

Veterans on JIiand

Frequent use of subititutes last year provided the mernjors with a seasoned group for this fall. The team will be directed by Spero Costas, Canton (Ill) Graek, captain and quarter back wlio deserves much of the credit for the success of the past two season. Another Canton youth developed by Archie Chadd, form:ir Butler star

School, is Inman (Dog) Blackaby, second highest scorer in the state last ‘year. He will be at full back from which position lie will handle the major portion of the plunging, passing and punting. Emerson Musgrave of Robinson, Ill, was regular full back in 1935, but has been moved to the blocking position. The Butler back field will be rounded .out with any of several ball toters at left half. Andy Boa, shifty and versatile Robinson (Ill) runner, probably will get the starting call. Wally Stout of Sheridan started many of the games 2% that post last year.

Local Sophs Strong

Two local sophomores have pressed into the picture. F'rankie Welton of Manual and Bernard Breen of Cathedral may usurp the assignment behind the line. ? The wingmen are fo be light but capable veterans—Eddie O'Connor of Cathedral and Cody Burdette of Hinton, W. Va. Jake Weger of Robinson, Ill, 235-pound tackle, will anchor the line. Either Bill Merrill of Shortridge or Ray Jureich, Canton sophomore, will ie at the other tackle. Ed Trott, Ft. Waytie senior, starts his third year at guird and will be paired with Matty Crawford of Columbus, O. The pivot post is entrusted to Charles MecDarniels of Hinton, W. Va., a siaior letterman. A host of capable reserves will augment the varsity eleven. Saturday’s game will start at 2:30. Evansville held the high-scoring

| Bulldogs to two touchdowns last

year and is reportec strong for the present campaign.

F STATE TITLE

Lynn Waldorf Has Problem in Back Field

Northwestern Coach Balked Three Times in Setting Ball Toters.

BY STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

EVANSTON, Ill, Sept. 24—All Northwestern's nopes for ‘winning the Big Ten football championship would fit in a fhimble, for the Wildcats presented studious Lynn Waldorf with a back field problem that defies solution. Three times he thought he had it whipped, but ineligibility and injury trimmed his man-power to a skeleton. No skeleton attack can defeat Minnesota or Ohio ‘State, and Northwestern plays them both, “Maybe now you'll believe me whenn I say we are 25 per cent weaker than last year,” Waldorf said today. “I've got another November team, but we play all our tough ones in October while the ‘sophomores are trying to develop. If they come through as I hope, we should play good ball in November.”

Jack Major Injured

Waldorf's miseries this fall started with the ineligibility of Fred

| Flato, sophomore ' sensation from

Corpus Christi, Tex. Jack Major, another sophomore, expected to help Flato fill the gap left by graduation of Wally Cruice, then was injured, and Bobby Swisher, veteran left half, was declared ineligible. Steve Toth, former quarter back and full back, was shifted to right half, Iggy Mesec. 152-pound full back candidate, went to left half as Heap’s alternate, and Bob Carter pulled from left half hack to work with Don Geyer at fuil back. Frede iie Vanzo and Chet Gargas, a mades over lineman, were the quarter backs, but neither knew who was the regular. . Despite losses of Paul ‘Tangora, guard; Al Lind, center; Joe Chame bers, tackle, and Henry Longtels low, end, Waldorf’s line prospects appeared bright enough to carry the Wildcats over any other second bracket team in the Western Cone ference. From his squad of 20 veterans he lined up experienced men at least two deep for every position.
