Sparks Should Fly Tomorrow Night When Southport Cardinals Determine Continentals’ Worth in Annual Grid Battle.

SOCIETY note: There will be a formal football get-together tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock at the Southport villa in Homecroft, with the members of the Southport High School football team as hosts. Guests of honor will be the members of the Washington High School football team, accompanied by their chaperon, Henry C. Bogue, There was no time to get out engraved invitations. Starting the program will be a brief reception for the Southport and Washington teams, in which the players will line up across the field opposite each other. One of the officials hired for the occasicn will blow his whistle, the reception will end, and the boys will try to knock each other’s blocks off for the rest of the evening. 5 ” s - . 8 ” » Yesterday afternoon Southport’s Coach Arling E. Pitcher, who is about the only man around who knows what every room in the new $90,000 Southport Stadium is going to be used for, took us on a tour of inspection of the new plant. Unusual features of the new structure are a wrestling room, built beneath the Southport stands where resting football men can keep in trim during the winter; and an agricultural classroom. Classes in the subject are to be introduced at Southport soon. : x = ” # " HE accomodating architect has included a press booth which would make many college bowls blush with shame. It is of the latest design, with windows to shield the precious . scribes from sleet and rain. There is one light pole in the writers’ view, and Mr. Pitcher is even going to remove that. They are going in for football in a big way at Southport and it is the main topic of conversation among the students. That’s more than many schools can say. Football has been on the Southport sports program for eight years. Mr. Pitcher has been the coach for 11. He is youthful (only 34), has a lot of enthusiasm and looks like he might be able to perk up a lagging tackle with a good deal of finesse. Mr. Pitcher shopped around for his college education, attending Franklin, Butler, Illinois and Northwestern. He teaches classes at Southport in government and physical education. He played football for a while at Franklin but in his own words, he was “just a good scrub.” He tried hurdling on the ~ Butler track but happened to be there when Hal Griggs and Nig Woods were specialists in that particular art and Mr. Pitcher found himself behind the eight ball.

» » » ” ® UT his record for the past five years as a coach at South- " port speaks for itself. His football teams have won 32 games, lost eight and tied two. He has been asking them this . week, in a gentle sort of way, whether it’s going to be 33 wins or nine losses after Friday night. Most of them had the right answer. So far this year Southport has had a clean record. Only Plainfield and Shortridge have crossed their goal line. The scores: : Southport 27—Plainfield 12. Southport 27—Shelbyville 0. Southport 14—Noblesville 0. Southport 14—Shortridge 7. Southport 32—Manual 0. : Their game scheduled with St. Xavier at Louisville last week didn’t materialize. The Southport squad made the trip, but when it was found that the Xavier field was covered with about four inches of water, the boys just stayed all night and came home. It was a nice rest just before the tilt with Washington. ; Last year Mr. Pitcher’s team won seven and lost two. Teams played included Shelbyville, Seymour, Shortridge, Manual, Clinton, Washington (Southport 35, Washington 12), Columbus, Richmond and Cathedral, They lost only to Shortridge and Cathedral. ” sn 8 ” HE Southport squad boasts some 70 players although the school’s enrollment is only about 700. Getting one-tenth of a high school’s enrollment out for football is nothing at which to sneeze. There are no particular stars on Mr. Pitcher’s team. Williams, left halfback, is a good ball carrier; Colbert, right end, is an excellent pass catcher, and Winchell, left tackle, brother to last year’s Southport luminary, makes good when opposing backs come his way. Although Southport is just too far out to be included in the city championship accounting, they still like to beat the city teams. And they've been doing it pretty regularly. Mr. Pitcher explained yesterday that it wouldn't be long before the city limits would take in Southport and maybe Ben Davis and then there would be a hot time in the old town for the older city schools when it came time for football. Yes, sir! You can count on the get-together Friday night. And there's absolutely nothing to that rumor that Mr. Pitcher will pour. As we see it now the whole thing will revolve around the question: “Can Southport get Henry's Carter?”

McMillin Is Old Rival of, Cornhuskers

Bo’s Kansas State Teams Opposed Nebraska Six Times.

Times Special | BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Oct. 15.— Renewing a rivalry that started when he coached in the Big Six Conference, Coach Bo McMillin will start his Indiana University squad for Lincoln, Neb., tonight, to match strength with the powerful University of Nebraska eleven, coached by Dana X. Bible, The Nebraskans are rated as one

tion; and Saturday's game between the Hoosiers and the Cornhuskers is attracting national attention. It is the first of a three-game series between the two schools, all games to be played at Lincoln. While McMillin was at Kansas State, he sent his team against Nebraska six times, but only once was able to take a decision. In 1930 Kansas State won, 10 to 9. Hoosier Lineup Stands Against the array of stars boasted by Nebraska, Indiana probably will be represented by essentially the same starting lineup as took the field against Michigan. This includes Kenderdine and Beasley, ends; Capt. Dal Sasso and Livingston, tackles; .Sirtosky and Dileo, guards; Miller, center, and Huffman, Cherry, Eads and Fowler, backs. Indiana, while holding a healthy respect for Nebraska's driving and versatile attack, has concentrated mostly on offensive maneuvers this week. Despite this, the reserves and freshmen have been working on defensive tactics, and demonstrating Nebraska formations.

Layden Singing the Blues

Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 15.— With his squad riddled by injuries, Coach Elmer Layden was singing the blues today, just 48 hours before his Notre Dame eleven was to stack up against the Badgers from Wisconsin. Steve Miller, number two varsity fullback, visited a Chicago specialist yesterday to see if any harm had been done to his left eye by the bump in Saturday’s Washington U. game, which split the skin above the orb. He was told he might be able to play Saturday. Meanwhile, Larry Danbom, number: one fullback, was under observation for a head injury; Frank Kopczak, injured in the Carnegie Tech game, still was on the sidelines with a bad leg, and Denny Emanuel, first string left tackle, was given little hope for action against Wisconsin because of two previous injuries.

Seven Scraps on Card at Armory

With the exception of an opponent for Melvin Byrode, Chevrolet Commercial Body Plant lighteavyweight, Matchmaker Wallace nnounced today that his seven bout amateur boxing program to be held tomorrow night at the National Guard Armory has been completed. Russ Bennett, Richmond Negro heavyweight, is reported in great shape and that he expects to get even for the loss suffered to Elza Thompson here last January. Bennett and Elza Thompson, Washington A. C. Negro, are to meet in the five-round main event. Carl Hubbell, Coatsville heavyweight, is to tackle Frank Perry, local Negro heavyweight, in one of the three-rounders. The top threerounder will bring together Tommy Thompson, - Bast Side heavyweight, and Jack Wilson of Lafayette. The other completed bouts follow: Jimmy Williams, Oliver A. C., vs. Aural Tyler, local bantamweight. Bob Blue, South Side Turnéfs, vs. Bob Wallace, Lafayette. Bill Cummings, Indianapolis, vs. Jim Webber, Indianapolis.

Lynn Waldorf Is Puzzled Butler Pilot

Regarding Wildcat Eleven

Tells Scribe He Doesn’t Know Whether Team Is Good, Bad |

or Terrible; Fears Ohio State.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent EVANSTON, Ill, Oct. 15.—Northwestern football practice was over;

and Lynn Waldorf, big, mild-mannered coach whose hair is streaked with gray at 34, came into the coaches’ locker room with a perplexed expression on his face and leaned against a radiator. “I don’t know what kind of a team we have,” said Waldorf. “I actually don’t know whether we're good, bad or terrible.”

He took a long pull off a cigaret, and continued: “But there’s one consolation, won't be in doubt much longer. Ohio State will let us know Saturday. And I fear the worst.” The Northwestern - Ohio State battle at Dyche Stadium before a crowd of 40,000 is likely to prove one of the key games of the Big Ten race in addition to determining the strength of the Wildcats for Coach Waldorf. The winner will step up as the No. 1 threat to dethrone Minnesota as Western Conference champion. A victory for Northwestern would mark the Northwestern-Minnesota

game Oct. 31 as a probable cham- |

pionship battle. A victory for Ohio State would tab the Buckeyes as cofavorites to share the title with Minnesota for another year. Minnesota and Ohio State do not play. The collapse of Ohio State's offense in the Pittsburgh game has encouraged hopes of Northwestern supporters for a victory over the erstwhile Scarlet Scourge,<but noi Waldori. : “Pitt has one of the best teams in the country and was able to beat Ohio State only 6 to 0,” said Waldorf. “The failure of Ohio's offense to click against Pitt is likely to re--act to Northwestern's detriment. Coach Schmidt's razzle-dazzle is likely to be red-hot against us.” Waldorf’s chief worry is how to stop the Buckeyes’ aerial attack, which he fears although statistics of the Pitt game show Ohio State gained only 19 yards through the a - Pass Defense Weak “Our pass defense looked bad against Towa and North Dakota State,” said Waldorf. “We had 12 out of 26 passes completed on us, so you see what a real passing team
