Indiana.and Purdue Grid Potentialities Become Topic-of

Fan Talk; Notre Dame, Ohio State to Play to 56,000.

ALONG about this time each season, groups of enthusiastic alumni gather in private offices and dining rooms for subtle conferences concerning the relative potentialities of Indiana and Purdue. The outcome of the state's outstanding traditional gridiron battle will be the subject of conversation wherever football fans meet, with rising ‘intensity from now until Nov. 21 at. 2 p. m. We have seen both téams play and as far as we're concerned if they played tomorrow it might just as well be a scoreless tie. That is an awful thought, for splitting the old Oaken Bucket is not looked upon with any satisfaction by either school. Purdue swamped Ohio University in its first game, 47 to 0; took Wisconsin inte camp, 35 to 14; won from Chicago, 35 to 7, and Saturday went down before. the pile-driving Gophers, 33 to 0. Indiana started the season againat Centre, Bo McMillin’s alma mater, with a 38 to 0 victory; defeated Michigan, 14 to 3; lost to Nebraska, 13 to 9; and fell before the convalescing Ohio Staters Saturday, 7 to 0.

» = » ” » ® HILE Purdue backers are showing that the DBoilermakers have scored some 117 points to their opponents’ 21 (excepting the Gophers’ 33), Indiana men are whispering that Indiana held Nebraska to a four-point victory; that Nebraska held Minnesota to a seven-point victory. And that, they say with thumbs in. vest-sleeves, makes Indiana 22 points better than Purdue. One thing we can say: Indiana is not 22 points better than Purdue—and is most unlikely to be on Nov. 21. Other forecasters point to the fact that Indiana shouldn't have a difficult time with Iowa next Saturday; nor with Syracuse and Chicago on ensuing week-ends before they meet their Lafayette rivals. The battle-scarred Hoosiers need a rest. Purdue, on the other hand, meets Carnegie Tech next Saturday (Notre Dame beat Tech by two touchdowns) ; Ford-

=

ham, and Iowa, all three games taking the Purdue team away,

from home. All of which probably means nothing at all, for the Old QOaken Bucket rarely has been filled with what came out of the dope bucket.

~ » = s THE two-year-old rivalry between Notre Dame and Ohio State is probably the most brilliant for its age of any in the country. It will be renewed at South Bend Saturday before 56,000 adherents, Notre Dame's first sell-out crowd since the stadium was built six years ago. There has been but one football game between the two schools although they have met in nearly every other sport before. But this one football game, played at Columbus last year before 81,000 people, probably was the greatest gridiron thrill-drama ever played. Neither team had been defeated. Ohio State had the edge in background ‘They also had the edge when the first half was over, and 13 points to Notre Danie’s none. The story then became the monolog of one Andrew Pilney, substitute left halfback, who had threatened to have a big day several times but had never made it. Pilney inspired his team to a high pitch in the third quarter, running, blocking, kicking, tackling and catching passes. In the fourth Steve Miller scored on a line plunge. With two minutes to go Pilney passed to Mike Layden for a second touchdown, -then tackled an Ohio State back so hard he fumbled and Notre Dame recovered. Then Pilney ran to the Buckeye 19-yard line and was hurt. As he was carried from the field on a stretcher, he raised up and looked back just in time to see Bill Shakespeare pass to Wayne Millner for the final touchdown with less than 80 seconds to play, and a Notre Dame victory,

18 to 13.

= "

» = » HE traditional rivalry betweeen Michigan and Illinois will come to the boiling point again when the two teams meet Saturday at Ann Arbor. Since 1933 the games between these two have been won with single kick margins. In 1934, although Michigan had had one of its worst

seasons it was a slight favorite to win, but came out with

. six points to Illinois’ seven.

Last year, with Michigan apparently on the road to recovery, having won four straight games, the game again seemed in the bag for the Wolverines. The Illini were supposed to be stringing along on- Coach Zuppke’s ‘will. But Michigan was run into the ground by a band of fighting Indians and Lowell Spurgeon booted a 30-yard place-kick to give his team the game, 3 to 0. Among the many games played between the two, Illinois fans like to remember the story-book tale about the 1924 game in which Red Grange galloped, ghost-like to a 39 to 14 victory over the Wolverines. That was the time of his famous five touchdowns, four of them scored in-less than 12 minutes of play. Michigan alums like to recall the following year when Grange, without the linemen of the year before, was stopped cold and Benny Friedman won the game with a field goal.

Gophers Are 2-1 Favorites Over Wildcats

Game May Decide Big Ten and National College Championships.

BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Bernie Bierman’s Minnesota Gophers were 2-1 favorites today to subdue Northwestern at Evanston, Ill, Saturday in the headline grid attraction. This tilt between the Middle West's two perfect teams probably will decide whether Minnesota will wear the national championship crown for the third successive year and the outcome of the Big Ten conference, but it will have to vie for attention with three other feature games. Fordham’s unmarred record is in danger as Pitt, conqueror of Ohio State and Notre Dame, invades New York; Marquette, angling for a Rose Bowl bid, tangles with the Gaels of St. Mary's at Chicago; and Auburn, held to. a tie by Tulane, encounters ‘Santa Clara, only undefeateduntied team on the Pacific Coast, at San Francisco.

Game Is Sell-Out v:

Already the Gopher-Wildcat game is a sell-out. * ~The Wildcats have piled up 85 points to. their opponents’ 29 in defeating Iowa, North Dakota State, Ohio State and| Illinois. The power of the Gophers in their 33-0 triumph over previously unbeaten Purdue last week, however, made them betting favorites. The East still has four other major elevens, Army, Yale, Villanova and Holy Cross, with unblemished records and they will find the going tougher this week. The Cadets entertain Zolgate’s Red Raiders; Yale tackles Dartmouth at New Haven; Holy Cross plays Temple's Owls at Philadelphia, and Villanova invades Lewisburg to play Bucknell. The nation’s .only other major unbeaten-untied team is Utah State, and the Aggies engage Denver's Pioneers in the Colorado city Saturday.

Irish Eleven Is Bruised, Battered |

Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 27.— Despite the fact that five mén were injured in Notre Dame’s bruising battle with Pittsburgh last week, Coach Elmer Layden ordered a heavy workout for the Irish today in preparation for Ohio State here Saturday,

Andy Puplis, quarterback; Vic Wojcihovski, right halfback; Steve Miller, fullback; John Lauter, guard, and Joe Zwers, end, were on the sidelines yesterday and Layden indicated he would not know until later in the week whether any of the quintet would be able to start against the Buckeyes. ‘ Layden said he was concerned about how the Irish squad would react to the Pittsburgh licking in view of the fact that Ohio State had held the powerful Panthers to a 6-to-0 victory at olumbuz. Notre Dame was beaten 26 to “I believe that the i] will come

Purdue Turns

Toward East

Carnegie, Fordham Are Next Opponents for Kizer’s: Boilermakers.

Times Special LAFAYETE, Ind. Oct. 27.—Carnegie Tech, the same eleven that provided the stunning upset that started Purdue on the downward path last fall after an auspicious start, will provide the next stumbling block in the Boilermakers’ path next Saturday at Pittsburgh as they turn their attention from Big Ten warfare in search of Eastern ‘intersectional honors. Following the tilt with the rejuvenated Tartans, Noble Kizer’s Boilermakers will return to the East the next week-end to meet Fordham in the Polo Grounds, New York,:and will not renew their Big Ten schedule until Saturday, Nov. 14, when they invade Iowa City to-meet the Hawkeyes. Carnegie by virtue of its strong showings against ‘Holy Cross, -Michigan State and Notre Dame,. and upset victory over Temple, has already’ convincingly demonstrated that it is much more of a‘ power in the gridiron world than’ it was last season ‘when it defeated the Boilermakers, 7 to. 0. - Lack of reserve strength is : providing one of the main worries. for the - Boilermaker coaching staff as it prepares for the Eastern invasion, particularly in view of the pounding taken by the regulars in the last

two games: with Chicago and Min=

nesota. Bill Vergane, Giant end, probably | will be out the rest of .the season

from a knee injury aggravated in

the Minnesota game;” Fred Stalcup, varsity back, will be out two more weeks, and George Spehn and Don Powell, ends, both suffered knee injuries in last Saturday’s battle with the Gophers.

Solem to Speed Running Attack

By United Press IOWA CITY, Ia. Oct. 27.—Coach Ossie Solem gave the Iowa squad a hard workout today and planned another for tomorrow. After that he expected to taper off with light drills in preparation for Indiana.

Solem sought to speed up the running attack. The Hawkeyes had an open date last Saturday, but played the annual game with the yearlings and were compelled to go at top speed to win, 18-14"

Divide Honors in Kokomo mo Golf Meet

By United Press KOKOMO, Ind. Oct. 27.—Darkness prevented a playoff after two team had tied for first place in the

final pro-amateur golf tournament:

of the Indiana Professional Golfers’ Association yesterday. “Bill Heinlein, professional, and Bill Binder, amateur, both of Indianapolis, aided by.a handicap of three strokes, carded a 72 for a net 69.

Pe gre for Foreign Foes

Cathedral, Manual to Play Only Intra-City Grid Engagement.

Indianapolis high school grid machines are busy tuning up offensive and defensive maneuvers this week and preparing to repel an invasion of foreign prep teams which occupy the top spot on the heavy week-end schedule of seven games. . Only one intra-city tilt, Cathe-

dral’s Irish against the Redskins of Manual is scheduled. Coach Joe Dienhart’'s team will be after its second win of the season, having turned in two ties, three losses, and one victory to date. Manual has won two and lost three. ‘Probably the feature of the grid program will be Technical’s game with Coach Archie Chadd’s Indians of Anderson High School at the East Side school.

Tech Holds Edge

Anderson has defeated Elwood, Connersville, Richmond and Frankfort this season, while losing io Newcastle,” Muncie, Noblesville and Marion. A comparative analysis may be had in the Richmond and Muncie tilts since Tech also met these two elevens.

Anderson lost to’ Muncie, 13 to 0, whereas Tech shaded the Bearcats, 8 to 7. The Indians beat Richmond, 7 to 0, while Doc Ball's Big Green eleven subdued the Richmond eleven under a 20-to-14 count. Hence the edge, if there is any, lies in Tech‘nical’s favor. Washington's high-powered Continentals are expected to have mere-ly-a “breather” in their tilt at Kirklin and the game should serve to polish up the West Siders’ attack for Tech the following week-end.

Ripple Has Tough One

Coachh Bob Nipper’s Shortridge Blue Devils, who have been on the short end of a couple of hard-fought battles this season, stack up against a strong Crawfordsville eleven. The Crawfordsville outfit has won four games, lost one, and tied one against
