Saturday; Muncie Team Averages 173 Pounds ! and Possesses Swift Passing Attack.

UNCIE, Ind., Oct. 28.—They planted the acorns of football success at Ball State Teachers’ College a couple of years ago, and folks are going to be surprised at the oaks which are bound to come. There isn’t much doubt that this is the prettiest little college in the state. It is also one of the most ambitious. From two unpretentious buildings in 1918 to a beautiful layout of 10 modern structures today is but one of its seven- _ league strides. They aren't boasting about this year’s football team. They haven't done much boasting since football began here

in 1924, but it's pretty certain that they will have some-

thing well worth boasting about in the near future, » on = s » #n

JOHN MAGNABOSCO, a native of Clinton, is the professor of football tactics. He is a peppy, well-informed individual with an All-America fullback’s physique and a commanding voice. He works out new plays for the squad with mathematical precision so that although there may be three down there is always one to carry.

Up until this year, the Ball State teams have won 34 football games, lost 41 and tied six. They play De Pauw Saturday. They have scored only seven points against the Tigers in the four games they have played since 1928. De Pauw has scored 55 points against Ball State and has won every game But there's something in the air this year that has been lacking before. Yesterday afternoon Coach ‘“Maggie” put his 22 players through a tough scrimmage. The boys shouted enthusiastically on each play and yelled for more. De Pauw had better be up on its toes. And it may not be good enough even then.

= FJ » = = 2 So far this season Ball State has lost to Michigan Normal, 6 to 0;.to Central Normal, 25 to 6, and to Indiana State, 3 to 0. They have won their last two games, from Franklin, 12 to 0, and from Oakland City, 40 to 0. Last year Ball State scored at least one touchdown on every team it played except the scoreless tie with Manchester. They held four opponents scoreless. Their total was 77 points to their opponents’ 66. Indiana State, De Pauw and Hanover defeated the Cardinals by margins of one touchdown. Karr, of Valparaiso, scored his team’s entire 20 points in Ball State’s worst defeat of the year. We watched the boys yesterday afternoon and were impressed with the personalities on the squad. There is Jim Davidson who was an all-state guard while playing with Bicknell high school. He captained the freshman team last year. : Marion Feasel is in his second year at end. from Decatur without ever having played football, and won

a regular berth in his junior year. = n ~ " » =

ONE of the utility men is Johnny Graham, a Selma, Ind., lad who stepped into his first regular position on any football team last year when Cy Moore withdrew from school. Bud Graham finished the year at guard and is alternating at guard and halfback this year. Hefty Wesley Gough, the 200-pound tackle, alternated at tackle last year. This $year he’s in there to stay. He often is called back to do the punting. Before Dick Hunt entered Ball State, he was the regular center on two Muncie high school teams. He is the spark plug of the Cardinal attack, and this is his last year. Robert Hesher was the regular center on Ball State’s basketball team last year. He plays end on the gridiron, and snagging passes is his hobby.

sophomore year. He was a quarterback at Clinton high school when Mr. Magnabosco was coach there, of Ball State's few triple-threats. Walt Pesavento, a teammate of Miller's at Clinten, is the regular Ball State fullback and he too is a sophomore. He is a left-handed triple-threater and shares the punting duty with Gough. Curtis Rathburn, sophomore, showed well on last year’s freshman team and is getting in part of the time at halfback. Claude Reith goes in at guard when Graham takes over in the backfield. Raymond Lackey, a junior, didn’t come out in his sophomore year because of injuries, but he’s all right now and plays halfback. Mr. Magnabosco’s squad of 22 averages 173 pounds, which is nothing to whisper about. As to the future of Ball State football, Mr. Magnabosco merely points over to the squad of 45 freshmen. The frosh are unusually large, snappy and talented. They may play the Butler yearlings sometime this season. Just wait; there will be a foot-Ball State team yet.

JOCK ‘SEES’ COMEBACK BY HOOSIER TEAM: er Ch Indiana to Mark Golden

Panther Chief Also Predicts Gopher March

Sutherland Fears Own Club Is ‘Doomed’; Rides With Galloping Gaels.

BY JOCK SUTHERLAND Pittsburgh's Head Coach PITTSBURGH, Oct. 28.—Chicago Association of Commerce knew something in declaring. this a football week. The gridiron world will be tuned in on the Chicago district on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.

Saturday sees the phenomenal |-

Minnesota varsity engaging Northwestern at Evanston, Notre Dame nieéting Ohio State at South Bend, and Friday night Marquette plays St. Mary’s at Soldiers’ Field.

Play Sound Football

Northwestern generally is conceded a better chance against Minnesota than any club deployed against the Gophers since they edged Pittsburgh in that memorable scrap early in the campaign of 1934. The Purple plays sound football and has a number of individual stars, but it is difficult to pick against an outfit that has been as consistent as the one drilled by the very able Bernie Bierman. I give Minnesota a slight margin. Against Ohio State, Notre Dame will have the confidence born of its late and winning rally of the thriller of a year ago. The Buckeye attack has been unsteady. I like the Irish in spite of their. downfall last week. Likes St. Mary's

Marquette has an unusually fine all-round backfield luminary in Buzz Buivid, but the Milwaukee aggregation is shy reserve backs. The Galloping Gaels moved to the battleground directly after their game with Fordham. They have done nothing but practice, play, and talk football for days. They figure to cop. I suspect that Fordham will prove a bit too robust defensively for Pittsburgh in New York. The Rams held Pitt to a total of exactly 68 yards last autumn, which is the least a Panther club has gained. Pennsylvania is ‘my choice over Navy, largely because it should be in the better physical condition following a comparatively breather with. Brown.

Favors Michigan State

I favor Michigan State over Boston College, which hasn't shown too much in an offensive way. , Army packs too much heavy drtillery for Colgate. Columbia didn’t like its tie with Cornell last season, and figures to make up for it against Carl Snavely’s sophomores. Dartmouth last year broke the jinx which the Yale Bowl had been to Hanover teams for years, and I have an idea that the Green again will prevail. : Princeton and Harvard launch the season’s competition in the Big Three, with the Crimson lacking the material with which- to combat several opponents on its schedule. Holy Cross is one of the eastern powers, and I have a hunch that Dr. Eddie Anderson’s squad has a little too much stuff for the Temple team of the grand old man, Pop Warner. Rice should dispose of George Washington in an intersectional engagement. Purdue’ would be a bit too much for Carnegie Tech on even terms, and the Boilermakers have an edge, in that the Plaid is travel-worn and tired from a severe early season grind. I am in a position to. know that Duquesne is a bit too accomplished for Detroit, despite its upset defeat by West Virginia Wesleyan. Illinois is improving, and should get by Michigan's Wolves. Indi-

ana is vastly improved this trip, and packs a few too many tricks for Ozzie Simmons and his Iowa company. Wisconsin should turn back Chicago. Dixie Selections

Louisiana State has one of the finest arrays in the' country, and must be selected ds a winner over Vanderbilt. North Carolina is too strong for North Carolina State. Alabama js ' the choice over Kentucky on all around strength. Major Bob Neyland has brought Tennessee a long way back—far enough to hurdle Georgia. Duke will win as it pleases from Washington and Lee. The majority pick, Texas over the Southern Methodist sophomores, but I am inclined to lean the other way. Sammy Baugh'’s passing gives Texas Christian a margin over Baylor. Texas A. and M. figures to emerge victorious in a passing battle with Ar .

Cathedral Tunes for Manual Fray

Coach Joe Dienhart, after giving his squad a rest Monday, resumed intensive practice yesterday in preparation for this week's game with Manual which will be played Friday afternoon at Delavan Smith

Field. The encounter with the Red and White will mark Cathedral's last game against city schools. The Irish defeated Manual last year. Due to Cathedral’s costly fumbles in previous contests yesterday’s workout consisted of ball handling and rehearsing of aerial plays. Coach Dienhart also gave -his proteges some new plays which were worked in a lengthy scrimmage against the reserves that climaxed the practice. Mike Dugan and John McNamara starred defensively while the running of Bob Fitzgerald featured the varsity’s attack. Bill Perry, fullback, was joined on the sidelines by George Langer, who is annoyed by boils.

DISTANCE MEET WON BY WASHINGTON TEAM

Bill Johnson and Frank Dolan finished the approximate mile and two-thirds race in a dead heat—11 minutes—to -lead the Washington cross-country team to victory over Warren Central at the Owls’ course yesterday. :

Hail Bierman

as Secret of

Gopher Power

Ex-Marine Captain Building Football Dynasty at Minnesota.

. BY STEVE SNIDER Unfied Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—From out of the northland - Saturday come the Minnesota Gophers with their challenge for another national championship and a firm belief that Bernie “Bierman is the secret of their power. How else can Minnesota’s threeyear dominance be explained? Material, basic metal of any football team, always has been plentiful; fast | and rugged beyond the average, but still Minnesota took its share of defeats until Bierman established his system. He may be no super-coach, nor yet the nation’s finest. But whatever his system it harmonizes with the temperament of candidates who pour into the university from Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas.

' Lost Seven Stars “>

When seven great stars of the 1935 squad were graduated, a cry was sounded that Minnesota's reign surely would end in 1936. Without these seven, the Gophers have whipped Washington, a power in the West; Nebraska, king of the Big Six; Michigan, and high-scoring Purdue. Cardinal points aiding Bierman’s success: 1. Minnesota draws its talent from virgin territory. Major yival

2. Reorganized athletic setup in state high schools now sends trained athletes to the university. 3. Twin cities population of ap-

, Ioximately 800,000 provides enough

d jobs so that any hustling youngster can work his way through school.

Precedes Actual Drill

All this is before Bierman starts to work. Then comes freshman football ‘and the spring practice that follows when Bierman picks his playing squad. If the; route 1s tough at first, Bierman relies on what’s left of his team the year before for opening games... Against . Washington and Nebraska he worked his regulars until they were ready to drop rather than risk his string of victories with green reserves, The veterans beat Wastngion, 14 to 7, and Nebraska, 7 to 0. Then came Michigan, a breather. The sophomores, Larry Buhler, full-

Hoel - and Warren Wilbgurne, tackles; Horace Bell and Allen Rork, won their spurs and became a part of Minnesota’s reserve. : The Purdue game brought out even more men Bierman decided were ready. Ray Bates, halfback;

pageantry of home-coming,

Gridiron heroes of another era, the men who made football history for the Cream and Crimson before and shortly after the turn of the century, will be the dis ed guests of honor in Memorial Stadium when the 1936 edition of the Hoosiers takes the field against Coach Ossie Solem’s Hawkeyes. The Golden Anniversary football reunion ‘will mark the beginning of annual reunions in which the various classes will be invited to attend 25-year celebrations. Under the plan, next year will be set aside for

reunion of members of the 1912

squad. Gala Program Arranged Buf this week-end, members of teams from 1886 to 1911, as many of them able to return to their alma mater from scattered posts throughout the nation, will be guests of honor at the annual Powwow dinner program Friday, at the freshmen football game after the dinner, at the Golden Anniversary football smoker in the Bryan Room of the Union Building, and the IowaI. U. tilt Saturday. Meanwhile, Coach Bo McMillin is busy devising a check for the elusive and fleet-footed Ozzie Simmons, Iowa’s ace Negro ball-carrier. It was Simmons who last year fled. through almost the entire Hoosier eleven 58 yards for the touchdown that gained the Hawkeyes a 6-to-6 e

Benefited by a week. of rest,

George Faust, quarterback; Bob Johnson, tackle, and Harold Wrightson, halfback, passed their examination with honors. In years past the Gophers often were described as “beautiful, but dumb.” Now they're just beautiful. Replacing their juggernaut tactics is a lateral passing threat that has scored’ seven times this season and no smoother nor versatile set of backs will be seen. Bierman is building a football dynasty at Minnesota. As long as strong men—the average in the north—continue to want higher education of the sort Minnesota offers, the Gophers will have winning teams, He doesn’t spoil his men, He teaches them to love his game and they play it with greater inspiration than those who “da. or die for dear old State.”
