Wabash Cavemen Whittle Big Clubs to Ward off Sharp Bulldog Teeth in 25th Annual Grudge Battle at Crawfordsville Saturday.
RAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 20.—There have been several beautiful red sunsets here during the past week and some of the townspeople are taking them as good omens for a Wabash victory over Butler Saturday. Coach Pete Vaughan’'s 18 years experience has taught him, however, not to rely on sunsets, or scientific ratings, or anything else in order to beat Butler. He feels that maybe good blocking, hard tackling, a strong passing attack and perhaps a fluke play or two might have more effect.
The Butler-Wabash rivalry is second only to the Wa-|.
bash-De Pauw feud in color and tradition. The game Saturday will round out a quarter of a century of games between the Blues and the Reds, although it was 46 years ago that the Bulldogs first snarled at the Little Giants’ coat-tails. During the 25-game series Butler has won 13, Wabash has won nine and there have been two tie contests. But Wabash has scored 363 points to Butler’s 219. The following scores should arouse fond memories as well as sad recollections among the grads from both schools:
1923—Butler 2, Wabash 0. 1924—Butler 12, Wabash 0. 1925—Butler 0, Wabash 0. 1926—Wabash 13, Butler 0. 1927—Butler 13, Wabash 7. 1929—Butler 14, Wabash 0. 1930—Butler 13, Wabash 7. 1931—Butler 13, Wabash 0. 1932—Wabash 34, Butler 0. 1933—Wabash 12, Butler 0.
1890—Butler 22, Wabash 0. 1892—Butler 14, Wabash 12. 18904—Butler 58, Wabash 0. 1903—Wabash 46, Butler 0. 1909-—Butler 12, Wabash 0. 1912-—Wabash 47, Butler 0. 1913—Butler 10, Wabas 1915~~Wabash 35, Butler 7. 1916—Wabash 56, Butler 0, 1919—Wabash 67, Bmtler 0. 1921-—~Wabash 14, Putler 0. 1934—Wabash 0, Butler 0. 1922-—Butler 9, Wabash 7. 1935—Butler 20, Wabash 0.
» s s # ” ” OME strange tales have sprung up from the games between these two schools. There is one about the 1922 game which makes Mr. Vaughan’s assistant, Lon Goldsberry particularly anxious to obtain a Butler scalp whenever possible. Mr. Goldsberry was one of the stalwarts on the Little Giant team that year. Tony Hinkle’s helper, Hugh Walden Middlesworth, was a member of the Bulldog eleven. The two teams battled back and forth on old Irwin field all afternoon with Wabash holding the edge after finally pushing over a But Butler's eleven included a blond curlyheaded fellow by the name of Haldane Alfred Griggs and Mr. Griggs, while Mr. Middlesworth neatly held the ball, place-kicked three field goals to win the game, 9 to 7. Mr. Goldsberry claimed then as he still claims today that the best team lost. And there are those, among Butler fans as well as Wabash backers, who agree with him. One of Griggs kicks that afternoon was for 52 yards, and it was the second longest place-kick in the country that year. There is another point on which Mr. Middlesworth
being tossed to Wally over Wabash’s goal line, and something else about Wally letting it slip through his fingers. But it’s all sort of hazy now. Bob Nipper, the Shortridge coach can demonstrate how Wally did it. = 2 = 2 2 2 THE following year, Wally went to coach at Coe College. He saw a new playing style developing and on the eve of the Butler game with Wabash he wired Pat Page, Butler’s
formation on fourth down if the Bulldogs got in a tight spot. That year’s game was won with two passes from punt formation on fourth down. And Mr. Page always claimed he never opened Wally’s wire until the game was over. Yesterday afternoon we visited the Little Giants practice. It was a pretty quiet session. The air was tense, as it always is the week before the Butler tussle. Over in one corner of the Wabash pasture, Coach Vaughan showed the linemen how to slow down an ambitious defensive tackle, and in another spot Mr. Goldsberry ran the ends and backs through a stiff pass offensive drill. It isn’t much of a secret that the Wabash team will use the air Saturday. They have been polishing their aerial tactics all season. And Butler is the game to which they have pointed. The Crawfordsville boys aren’t saying much. They're scrappy. They look as if they liked to play. And when they do say anything it has something to do with “beating Butler. " & » ® ” 2 So it is pretty well settled that there will be a worth while football game here Saturday. There is the matter of who will keep the Iron Key, and also the matter of who is going to be Indiana Inter-Collegiate champions. Wabash leads the conference now. A Butler victory would practically assure the Bulldogs of their third state title among secondary
colleges.

Gleaned from the yellowed files: In 1909 Butler beat Wabash under the tutelage of an ex-Wabash star, Walter Gipe. In 1887, the first year of football at Butler, the Bulldogs won from Purdue, 45 to 5. O Tempora, O, Mores!

PITT COACH FEARS IRISH KNOW TOO MUCH Big Game Coming Up Over Cra fordsville Way
Jock Expects Tough Battle Out of Rivals
Veteran Mentor ‘Sees’ 1. U. in Defeat Along With Boilermakers.
BY JOCK SUTHERLAND Pittsburgh’s Head Coach PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20—It’s a rich fare for football fans on Saturday as they pick out which game to see. Foremost intersectional games see Notre Dame traveling to Pittsburgh, and St. Mary's engaging Fordham in New York. Purdue sends its fighting team against mighty Minnesota in the Big Ten feature in Minneapolis. While Pittsburgh may be made the favorite over Notre Dame, the Panthers are coming back after bruising battles with Ohio State and Duquesne. Elmer Layden has a complete line that helped to beat us a year ago, and it has been reinforced by new men. The South Bend club lost some fine backs, but is three deep in other positions.
“Know Our Offense”
I am not sure about just what sort of strength Pittsburgh can muster to use against Notre Dame. The Irish know our offense pretty well, and we expect to find the going tough. St. Mary’s has another great squad which comes east anxious to make up for last fall's scoreless tie with Fordham. The Ram has a rugged line that should keep the Galloping Gaels at bay, however, and pny Crowley's array should be able to score at least once to win. Purdue doesn’t appear to have quite enough material to repel Bernie Bjerman’s remarkable Min-
A number of arguments will be settled along the Atlantic seaboard, traditional and sectional. Navy has a game, scrappy eleven, but it can not match Princeton, in weight, experience, or manpower.
Tech and Holy Cross Carnegie Tech meets one of the
The Tartans have had a tough row to hoe thus far, and won't find Holy Cross a lot easier. Cornell and Penn State renew relations, with the Nittany Lions the choice.
Dartmouth and Harvard resume their traditional rivalry. The Big Green has served notice that it is a team to be feared, and the Crimson, while improved, must be rated the underdog. Pennsylvania should beat Brown, Army should walk over Springfield, vale will handle Rutgers easily, and Colgate will have very little trouble with Lafayette. The big intersectional battle down South will see Texas Christian passing to a win from Mississippi State, with Sammy Baugh'’s good right arm representing the margin of victory. Columbia Over Michigan In other games between sectional leaders, Columbia will be favored over Michigan, Lou Little having one of his best teams this year; Catholic University should win over a travel-weary Mississippi eleven; Detroit will have a slight edge on Manhattan; Louisiana State's rugged line will be too much for Arkansas’ passes; and Syracuse will have a long, hard but successful afternoon against Maryland. Illinois will throw its trick formations and wide-open game against Northwestern, but Lynn Waldorf has his team ready to go now, and will have too much power for the Illini. Ohio State should have little trou-
Ten battle, and Michigan State should have little trouble with Marquette. In the Big Six, interest centers on the Nebraska-Oklahoma game. One of these will come out the conference leader, and Nebraska is an odds-on choice to take this contest. Missouri has a slight edge on Iowa State, and Kansas State over Kansas. The outstanding Southern game brings together Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt at N lle. The Enginéers should p il in a hard battle. Duke figures to find Tennessee below par of other years and cop. Auburn’s line again is its margin of superiority over Georgia. Tulane has caused all sorts of trouble al-

The popular Brown brothers, Or-

George, the 240-pound: “manhandler,” is to face Orville, the star exponent of the “Indian deathlock” hold, in the top offering carded for two falls out, of three and no time limit. At the request of Orville, who weighs 222, the State Athletic Commission waived the 90-minute time limit rule on main go bouts and the nationally-known matmen will battle it out to a finish. Frank Brown, 219, is to tackle Chris Zaharias, 212, .in the semiwindup of two falls out of three. The two engaged in a thriller six weeks ago and Chris won. In the 8:30 opener, Roland Kirschmeyer, 230, is to meet Milo Steinborn, 223. :

Texas A. and M. and Texas will finish in front. Southern California is moving and Stanford is finding the going heavy after the loss of Paulman, a fine back and kicker. It looks: like the Trojans. Washington has lost some key men by injuries, but California hasn’t hit its real stride, and it’s a vote for the Huskies in this one. Washington State should beat Oregon, and U. C. L. A. is picked over Oregon State.

Coach Calls Cops

School football players won't
break training rules hereafter. Worried over his: team’s three recent defeats, Coach William H. Seeglitz went to Police Chief William F. Pierce for help. Much of the trouble, the coach %aid, was due to the popularity of his gridsters at dances. The chief ordered patrolmen to visit each player’s home and see him safeiy in bed by 10 o'clock each night.
more halfback from Indianapolis. The Little Giants and the Bulldogs will be playing for possession of the Iron Key. The Key was first donated in 1933 by the Butler and Wabash chapters of the Blue Key Fraternity. It was won by the Bulldogs last year and is another colorful angle to the historic rivalry between the two institutions which began in 1890 and has continued intermittently until the present day.

BY STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 20.—One of the most disastrous jinxes in modern football stalked out of Pure due’s training camp again today, leaving three varsity players injured and the Boilermakers’ high hopes of giving Minnesota its first defeat in 27 games badly punctured. Fred Stalcup and John Drake, the starting halfbacks, and Big Bill Vergane, giant sophomore end, all came out of the Chicago game with injuries and at—least one of them definitely will not face the Gophers at Minneapolis Saturday. Vergane, star punter and key receiver in the aerial attack, may be out two weeks with a twisted knee. Unless Drake and Stalcup benee fit by the long rest ordered by Coach Noble Kizer, Purdue can expect to do little more than attempt to hold down the score. These two are vital to the success of the wilde running backfield that rolled up 70 points in two Big Ten games and (Turn to Page 18)
