One of Notre Dame’s ‘Four Horsemen’ Stabled: Here
for Night Before Staking Out His Wisconsin Team Against Purdue Today.
A DOZEN years ago, Notre Dame ran roughshod over 10 opponents—including Wisconsin—and won its first national championship and lone Rose Bowl appearance. Last night one of the “Four Horsemen” of that team, ‘Harry Stuhldreher, now coaching at Wisconsin, attended a premature birthday party in his honor at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Harry will be 35 next Wednesdzy. The Wisconsin team, 35 strong, stopped off in Indianapolis for the night. They will journey to Lafayette today for a game with Purdue, coached by Noble Kizer, another member of the famous 1924 team. The following Saturday, Harry and his boys will be back in Indiana to do battle with his alma mater, Notre Dame, coached by Elmer Layden, who played alongside Harry in the Horsemen backfield. That game will mark the first time that teams coached by members of the great quartet have met in 12 years, although all have been putstanding coaches. Z » ”

HURSDAY the Southern Methodist aggregation worked out at the Butler Bowl in preparation for their game today with Fordham. Jimmy Crowley, left halfback on the Horsemen team, is Fordham's coach. The other member, of the Notre Dame backfield, Don Miller, after serving as assistant coach at Georgia Tech, has settled down in the law business. The years have not visibly changed the little quarterback Stuhldreher. Harry is still the gentleman, the diplomat, the natty dresser he always was, on the field and off. His squad has been hit by ineligibility and graduation but he would like no better birthday present than the Purdue scalp.

td ” # MONG the visitors at the party last night were Howard Purser, Wisconsin News; Robert Shaplin, Daily Cardinal, Wisconsin's student newspaper; Roland McIntyre, Milwaukee Sentinel; George Downer, Wisconsin's publicity director; . Fred Twomey, Wisconsin end coach; Bill Aspinwall, business manager for the team, and Walter Stuhldreher, Harry's brother, who is in business here. ” ” ” ” o ” (COACH LAYDEN has been treating the Notre Dame boys to movies this week. But there wasn’t any Tom Mix or Mickey Mouse 6n the screen. The film was reeled off to show the players how they looked against Carnegie Tech. And, as most movie stars will affirm, there's nothing like the movie camera for revealing flaws. Mr. Layden pointed out to his “audience” that Notre Dame's line charging, both offensive and defensive, was nothing to take movies of. And he showed also the places where Notre Dame's blocking, which received several paragraphs of praise, had been done by the backfield instead of the line.

THE latter part of the first act in the movie showed also that Notre Dame was quite lame at pass defense, as Carnegie put over enough tosses to gain their one touchdown. Whether the movie lesson did any good or not will be “ discovered today because the Washington University of St. Louis team will outweigh Layden’s men seven pounds a man. Frank Kopczak, varsity right tackle, who was injured in the Tech game, is back in uniform but will be unable to play this week. In his place will be Art Cronin Jr. Cronin and Kopczak have been waging a battle for the position all practice season. ” ” 5 ” ” ” GALLANT Manual team fought against odds in the annual battle with Shortridge at Delavan Field yesterday afternoon, which ended 27-6, after showing plenty of spirit in scoring on the third play of the game. Coach Bob Nipper’s ball carriers were in top form and turned in almost 600 yards gain during the afternoon. Harry Painter's Manualites covered less than 150. The first quarter of the game was freakish in the fact that Manual scored one touchdown without having possession of the ball and made no gain during the entire period. Bennie Cohen fell on a blocked Shortridge punt for Manual's tally. ~ Then, aided with one five-yard penalty, the blue and white gridmen marched 75 yards for their first touchdown. Shortridge was handicapped by heavy penalties and it is safe to say that Coach Nipper will stress the “hands off” policy this week because the Northsiders lost 75 yards by holding and being offside. Although the penalty record was high the teams played the entire third quarter without one official set-back.

Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind. Oct. 10. ~=One ;
of the keenest gridiron rivalries ‘in the Big Ten Conference will be re-
newed in the Ross-Ade Stadium here this afternoon as Purdue's rebuilt eleven will .make a supreme effort to launch the Western Conference season with a victory over the rejuvenated Badgers, aflame with a new enthusiasm generated by Harry Stuhldreher, in his first year as the director of Wisconsin's football fortunes. ; Home-coming, a gay crowd, and gala decorations will all add considerable color to the afternoon's encounter, which promises to add another spectacular chapter to the Purdue-Wisconsin series which has become almost traditional for its scoring thrills and upsets. Purdue’s remodeled backfield, in which Wayne Gift at quarterback is the only player to retain last year’s assignment, is expected to be in for a busy afternoon attempting to blast its way through the bulky Badger line. In the final analysis, Purdue's fate is apt to hinge on the functioning of the hastily revised, but fighting, forward wall in holding its own with the Badger linemen. The Boilermakers are placing a lot of faith on the ground gaining ability of the Isbell-Drake-Stalcup trio, providing the forwards can give them a start. Both Isbell and Drake appeared benefited (by the shift in positions against Ohio U, while Stalcup, a converted quarter back, although a comparative midget, has speed to burn in the open.

BY ART KRENZ NEA Service Sports Artist After being held to a 7-7 tie by a Carnegie Tech team that was figured to give the Irish all they wanted, Notre Dame pulled the above surprise play to send Larry Danbom, fullback, off on a 61yard gallop that broke the deadlock and started Elmer Layden’s team on the road to a 21-7 victory. With the Tech backfield lined up in a 6-2-2-1 defense, the Irish backfield shifted to the left. Instead of running a pass play or plunge off that side of the line, however, the South Benders worked a reverse. The ball came to Vic Wojcihovski, right half, who handed it to Danbom on a reverse. Wilke, left half, and Andy Puplis, quarterback, as well as Joe Kuharich, right guard, swept over to the right to block for the runner. Once past the line of scrimmage, Danbom cut sharply to his left and outran Frank Chyczewski, Carnegie right guard, to the goal line.

Louis Stops Brescia With Left to Jaw
Bomber Is Given Trouble When Foe Connects With Right.
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 10—A sizzling left hook, delivered by Joe Louis, caught Jorge Brescia, an ambitious young Argentine heavyweight, on the jaw last night and floored him —the third victim of the “new” Joe Before that blow left the darke haired, 21-year-old youngster writhe ing on the floor, before 6000 fans at the Hippedrome, Louis had ene countered trouble--almost as much as when his march to fistic glory was interrupted by Max Schmeling. But, unlike the night when he was unable to weather the German’s crushing rights, Joe fought back. He took a blow in order to get inside and deliver one. And that was the “new” Louis,
Goes Out “Cold”
Louis finished off Brescia in 2 minutes 12 seconds of the third round of a scheduled ten. He kayoed Jack Sharkey in less time and needed five rounds to dispose of Al Ettore last month. Of the three, Brescia gave Louis the hardest bate tle—and he was the only one of the group to go out “cold.” Joe weighed, 202 to Brescia's 205 ‘2. Before he kayoed Jorge, Joe felt the dynamite in his crushing right hand. One in the second round rocked Louis and his knees sagged slightly again early in the third, The knockout came a few seconds after Brescia drove Joe into a core ner with a furious barrage of right and left smashes to the head. Jorge wasn't afraid. He stood up and traded blow for blow with Joe. Louis was mad but a bit unsteady. He crowded his man in that final round, waiting for an opening. It came. Joe's right fist flashed out and landed on Jorge's jaw. The Argentine reeled. He tottered along the ropes.
Louis Moves In
Joe shuffled his left foot forward. His left hand moved with it. It caught Brescia flush on the side of his jaw. Jorge spun around. The tips of his gloves skidded along the top of the ropes. He fell flat on his face. At the count of seven he rolled over. He lay there looking up at the lights as Referee Arthur Donovan counted him out. Then he was carried from the ring. It was the first time Brescia had been knocked out in.35 amateur fights in South America and nine professional bouts in this country. He was half hysterical when he reached his dressing room. Louis took victory calmly. Finally he said: “That boy sho was good. He made me work up a sweat.”
