Those Evasive Fellows, the Jones Boys, Have Been Found; Southern Methodist’s Mustangs Hold Round-Up in Butler Bowl.
MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 9.—We've found the Jones boys!! There are three of them and they all play on the Muncie football team which mixes headgears with Tech here tonight. , Two of the Joneses, Dave and Dick, are twins. The leftover, Vincent, says he wouldn't mind being in the same family. All three boys are not only outstanding athletes but are on the National Honor Society’s honor roll this month. We looked over Principal Addison’s shoulder yesterday at their report cards and found them dotted with A’s. 4 They're all ‘round boys too. Dave and Dick have intelligence quiz ratings of 132 and Vince is close by with 118. Those are high above average. Muncie's coach, Walter Fisher, who's been here 10 years, was a star in football, track and wrestling at Indiana. He graduated in 1927. Since he found that wrestling was a good winter pick-me-up for resting footballers, he has all his football men who can’t play basketball, work out in the bear-hug sport during the winter. That's why all three of the Jones boys are wrestlers along with everything else. - ” ” # ” n » INCENT is 18, five feet eight inches tall and weighs 155. He is a senior and made his letter last year in football. He plays fullback. But Vince doesn’t get much chance to score. He does the blocking in the backfield, the unsung job that paves the way for the heroic ball-carriers. "Vince spent a year in a CCC camp and got interested in forestry. If he can he would like to go on to college after his high school days are over and study it. At Muncie he is studying building trades, a preliminary course for boys interested in contracting. : The twin Joneses are also seniors but they are only 16. Dick admitted yesterday that Dave is 10 minutes older than he is. But Mr. Fisher says that the fact is often in dispute and Dick is not always so generous with fact. " » » n ” ” THE brothers play side by side on the team. Dave is a guard and Dick a center. Dave is six feet tall, Dick six feet one inch. But Dave weighs 160 and Dick only 156. Dick likes carpentry best in his school work and Dave likes economics and civics. Dick reads adventure stories in his spare time and Dave brouses through detective tales if they are good ones. In the summer time Dave and Dick work up at Camp Crosley on the Tippecanoe River. ‘Dick is a kitchen ‘assistant and Dave curries the grounds. < Coach Fisher usually takes the Muncie squad to Crosley for a couple of weeks before the fall practice season opens. “ Whenever Coach Fisher wants a good wrestling exhibition he matches Dick and Dave. It’s always a good show and yesterday there was a slight argument as to who had won the most bouts. : In the Tech-Muncie series so far, the score stands with Tech having won three contests and Muncie having taken six. Last year Tech drubbed the Muncie gridders 19 to 0. This year it won't be the fault of the Jones boys if Muncie doesn’t send the green and white to Davy Jones ‘locker. ” 8 5 : 88 ” ND it won’t be the fault of the Southern Methodist University band if their football team doesn’t fleece the Fordham ram tomorrow either. Sweeping into the city yesterday from Dallas, their home town, a special train bore more than 300 S. M. U. football players, coaches, rooters, grads and bandsmen. To ‘say nothing of the tiny Mustang mascot, Peruna II. Although the train was two hours late, Coach Madison (Matty) Bell gave his gridmen the only workout they will have before they meet Fordham tomorrow at the Polo grounds, in the Butler Bowl last night. Observers say that Matty has the best bunch of material he's had in years. “But S. M. U. is without 17 of the lettermen who lost to Stanford in the Rose Bowl last year, after winning 12 straight games. Only Johnny Sprague and
Bob Finely are veterans. ® x =» 2 & =n
HE school’s band, which makes music wherever it goes, paraded through the downtown district and then played a brief concert at the Butler bowl. Unlike most college bands, that of Southern Methodist plays no. martial airs. Yesterday's Bowl repertoire included ‘Tiger Rag” and “Christopher Columbus.” Even Benny Goodman could‘learn things about swing from this crew of footers. i And almost any football team could learn things from the way that Mr. Finely punts<(60 and 70 yards in warmups) or from Mr. Bell’s unique passing attack. The way the Texans toss the ball around after the pass has been compléted makes a fumble look like a double dribble.

Heavy Betting Reported
The game has attracted keen attention throughout the nation and

Both teams .are keyed to a high pitch and a hard-fought struggle is predicted by close grid observers. Judging by appearance of .Coach Schmidt, who has been smiling at practice sessions this week—an extraordinary thing for one of the Western Conference's leading dispensers of gloom—and the reactions of the squad, the Buckeye morale is at a high pitch for the Pitt conflict. Practice during the week has been concealed but a backfield man remarked that “we're practicing a couple of ‘Panther tail-twisters’ plays that no one will see until the game Saturday. We hope Pitt won't see ’em either, at least until we get beyond the line of scrimmage. >

Joe Louis Is 2-1 Favorite Over Brescia
Capacity Crowd Expected to Jam Hippodrome to See Bout.
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 3—The lure of Joe Louis’ fists thundering on the body of a boxer who is given slight chance to win will draw a capacity crowd of 7000 into the Hippodrome tonight. These spectators will pay approximately $50,000 to see Louis, still boxing’s magic name, try to crush young Jorge Brescia of Argentina, the third sacrificial lamb in Joe's campaign to regain some of the prestige lost when he was knocked out by Max Schmeling. There has been little betting on the scheduled 10-round fight, but $2 will get you $1 if you back Louis, And the wagering is even that he kayoes the South American before the halfway mark.
Weights of Fighters
Against Schmeling, Joe scaled only 198 pounds. He tipped the beam at 200 when he kayoed Jack Sharkey. And he boosted 3% more pounds when he deflated young Al Ettore in Philadelphia. Tonight Louis is expected to be at 202—which will be 3! less than the poundage lugged by Jorge, a 21-year-old German-Argentine who has won eight straight fights since arriving in the United States in June, 1935, The scrap will have little bearing
-on the heavyweight situation, un-
less it produces an upset. Of the three opponents Louis has been matched against since’ losing to Schmeling, Brescia seems to have the best chance of recording the upset - which would be even more surprising than Schmeling’s tri-

By NEA Service SEATTLE, Oct. 9.—Jimmy Phelan, University of Washington coach, doesn’t think much of the strength of the Big Ten off Minnesota's 14-7 victory over his team early in the season. “Nine of our players were sophomores,” Jimmy explains, “and if a veteran. team like Minnesota can’t - make ‘any more ground against them I'll trade our games with California, Southern California and U.
