OLLOWING F 0OTBALL with John W. Thompson

Annual Scrap Between Cavemen and Tigers, Oldest Rivalry

West of Alleghenies, to Be Played Saturday on De Pauw’s Home Grounds.

REENCASTLE, Ind., Nov. 10.—If Wabash had mustered a stronger team in 1890, the 43-game series between De Pauw and the Little Giants might never have taken place.

The Tigers’ grid squad was on the “no win-ee, no play-|.

ee” proposition back in those days. But they came through in fine shape and won the 1890 tussle, 34 to 5, against Wabash. Said the De Pauw paper afterwards:

“The beneficial effects of our recent football victory over Wabash can hardly be over-estimated. Had De Pauw lost to Wabash it would have been with the greatest difficulty that a sentiment favorable to football and the right support of a team for next year could have been worked up.” Saturday the two schools are to meet at Blackstock field here for the forty-fourth game in their series, the oldest intercollegiate rivalry west of the Alleghenies. De Pauw and Wabash have played the 43 games in 48 years, an almost continuous string of almost always exciting contests. In the series, which has been unusually close, Wabash has won 20 and De Pauw 18. There have been five ties, and when Wabash and De Pauw tie they really tie. All their ties have been 0 to 0.

Here are the scores:

1889—De Pauw, 18; Wabash, 2 1890—De Pauw, 34; Wabash, 1891—De Pauw, 1; Wabash, 0 Porteit). 1802—De Pauw, 42; Wabash, 4. 1893—De Pauw, 18; Wabash, 34, 1894—Wabash, 16; De Pauw, 4. ;: De Pauw, 0. : De Pauw, 0. 1900—De Pauw, 26; Wabash 11; Wabash, 6; De Pauw, 0. 1901—De Pauw, 31: Wabash, 2. 19%3—Wabash, 10; De , 4 1905—Wabash, 52: De Pauw, 0. 1906—Wabash, 7; De Pauw, 0. 1907—Wabash, 11; De Pauw, 1302 Wabash, 12; De Pauw, 1909—De Pauw, 0; Wabash, 1911—De Pauw, 0; Wabash, 1312 Y hash, 62; 91d e Pauw, 7; Wabash, Pauw, 6. 1914—De Pauw, 3; Wabash, 2 bash, 0 (tie).

= = = = IY 1892, De Pauw’s Fry ran 100 yards for a touchdown, and E. O. Smith, Brock and Eiteljorgall did most of the scoring in the 42 to 4 sweep. Wabash won its first victory over the Tigers in 1894, with Stott, Wynchoop and Huffer scoring for Wabash and Kuykendall coming through for De Pauw.

In 1900 there were two games. The first, Wabash won 6 to 0. Poston was pushed over the goal line by his fellows in the last minute. The second was won by De Pauw, but the game was called on account of darkness with only 12 minutes of the second half gone. In the hotly contested 1911 tussle, which ended 0 to 0, Wabash was on De Pauw’s one-yard line during the final minutes and Lambert of Wabash missed seven tries for a field goal. The Little Giants carried their peak scoring load in71912 when they galloped rough-shod over the Tigers, 62 to 0. With Lambert and Patterson leading the way, Wabash dished out De Pauw’s worst defeat. In the 1917 game, Wabash came back after De Pauw had scored and carried the ball to the Tigers’ six-inch line. Two plays gained four inches and the ball went to De Pauw on their own two-inch line. Although Galloway dashed 60 yards on one run in the 1919 game he failed to score and the game ended 0 to 0, but the next year he stepped back to his 47-yard line, and with 97 seconds left to play, shot a drop-kick through the goalposts to beat Wabash, 3 to 0. Stasand and Roll were the principal Wabash scorers in the 1921 game, the first won by Wabash since 1916. Most of the scoring was done in the first quarter. Wabash pulled another last-minute win in ¥926 when Myers, a smashing fullback, slipped over from the one-yard line in the last two minutes of the game.

N 1927, after DePauw had held three times on the five-

yard line, Wabash pushed over a touchdown to take the game, and in 1928, after Wabash had piled up a two-toug-down lead in the first seven minutes, De Pauw came back and scored three to win. Don Wheaton, De Pauw’s all-America candidate, made himself a hero in the 1930 game. He recovered a bad pass from center on the try for point after touchdown and squirmed over the goal line to win the battle, 7 to 6. The object of grid affection, the Monon Victory Bell, first made its appearanee as the symbol of the winner in the De Pauw-Wabash struggles in 1932. That year, after scraping two feet of snow from the gridiron, both teams came near to scoring but failed because the slippery ground did not afford a sure footing. Pierce scored two De Pauw touchdowns in the second half of the 1933 game to give De Pauw its first perfect season. It was undefeated, untied and unscored on in this year, the only team in the country with that record. Berns and Snyder contributed the winning Wabash pass in the 1934 game, and evened things up in the Bell affair. But last year’s game, ending 0 to 0, didn’t help matters any. It’s still one each way with two scoreless ties to worry over. 2 = 2 » o 2 IF you are interested in such things, Wabash has scored a total of 489 points to De Pauw’s 367 in the 43 games played. One of the best of the fables emanating from De Pauw, football history came forth at the recent Old Gold Day celebration. It was during the very early days when any tough boy in the town could play if he could get by with it. Before one De Pauw game, an opposing player challenged the eligibility of one of the tackles. The fellow really wasn’t! in school, had barely gotten through the fourth grade, but he had been picked up as tackles were scarce. “] don’t believe you are in college,” said the opponent. “Oh, yes I am,” replied the big fellow. “Well, then tell me what subject are you majoring in,”

said the challenger. The big bruiser pondered®a full minute, then blurted:

SUTHERLAND PICKS N. D, PURDUE, INDIAN Chief Gunner at Tech

Jock Selects

Huskers Over Own Panthers

Pitt Chief Favors Huskies in Tilt With Trojans on Coast.

BY JOCK SUTHERLAND Head Coach Pittsburgh University

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 10. — This week’s college football schedule is studded with the usual flock of outstanding games, some important as to sectional rating and others important on account of tradition. Notre Dame and Army head the list in the Bast The Irish will have their hands full with the Cadets, who were shocked by the Colgate defeat and, after two weeks to rest, should give Elmer Layden’s team a great fight. Army has Monk Meyer, but Notre Dame has more men, and a great pass receiver in Joe O’Neill. The Irish are my choice in spite of last Saturday's setback at the hands of the Navy.

The Big Ten

On the Big Ten Northwestern should win from Michigan, Ohio State from Illinois, Purdue from Towa, and Indiana from Chicago. Northwestern and Ohio State get the hardest tests. Intersectional games in this section should see Marquette getting by Mississippi, Michigan = State having little trouble with Kansas, and Minnesota beating Texas very decisively. Pitt journeys to the Big Six territory to meet Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have a chance to step into the front row in this game, and have ‘been. waiting for it for two years. For this reason, if for no other, Nebraska must be favored over my team.

Pitt Sure to Fight

But there are other reasons— Sam Francis, the fullback; Lloyd Cardwell, halfback, and a great defensive line, Pitt will be fighting to keep in the running, and it should be a great ball game. The big feature on the Pacific Coast will be Southern California vs. University of Washington at Seattle. It will be an impact of mighty lines. Southern California’s power attack will be well tested by the Huskie line, and the Trojan line will have to perform superlatively to halt Jimmy Phelan’s fine collection of backs paced by By Haines and Cain, Washington is my choice.

Selects St. Mary’s

University of Santa Clara, one of the few remaining unbeaten and untied varsities, meets a real foe in St. Mary’s on Sunday. The Broncos have repelled Stanford, Auburn, and other major adversaries, while

the Gaudy Gaels have not lived up |

to early promises, having been tied by San Francisco and repulsed by Fordham’ and Marquette.

Yet, knowing Fordham’s strength, |

having a good idea of Marquette’s backs, and realizing that traveling did not help St. Mary's, I believe that the Broncos will drop before Slip Madigan’s outfit. I suspect that the University of California at Loos Angeles will prevail over Washington State and California should win one from Cregon and Stanford from Oregon State. Likes Louisiana

Louisiana State has no opportunity to stay near the top in the national ranking in its engagement with Auburn. It is my offside preciction that Bernie Moore's powerful Tigers are a little too well balanced for the Plainsmen. Alabama has an armful in Georgia Tech, but should prevail. 'Tulane should handle Georgia without too much difficulty. Duke and North Carolina meet in a real major game. The . Tar Heels, still mad about being knocked out of Rose Bowl consideration by Duke a year ago, will be “up” for this game, and Duke must be careful. “The Blue Devils, however, rate the choice. Tennessee isn’t expected to have much trouble with Vanderbilt.

Edge to Princton

Princeton and Yale meet in an Ivy feature, with the Tiger getting the edge, despite its tie with Harvard and despite Yale's great cour-

age and resourcefulness. In a game|-

like this, the team with the greater manpower must rate as favorite. Dartmouth will find those Cornell sophomores beginning to know their own strength, and must be prepared, but I believe Dartmouth will be ready and will prevail. Navy rates the edge over Harvard, Columbia should have little trouble with Syracuse, and Temple and Villanova are due to wage the closest battle in the East in other standpout battles on the Atlantic Coast. In the latter engagement I

cast a shaky vote for Villanova. (Copyright. 1938, NEA Service, e, Inc.)

Light Drills Given Tigers

Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind.; Nov. 10.— Fearful of more injuries, Coach Gaumy Neal took it easy with his De Pauw football charges today and withheld them from stiff scrimmage sessions. ( “We're taking no more chances,” Neal said. “Ankles and knees and hips have wrecked us all season, and now that we're nearly back to full strength, we’re going to try and stay that way for Wabash.” The Tigers tangle with their traditional Cavemen foes Saturday in a Dad’s Day feature at Blackstock Field that is the highlight of the sports year. For the first time since the opening game, they will be nearly at full strength. Missing will probably be Butch Arnold, regular tackle, v\;y received an injured hip in the Ball State game two weeks ago, and Gus Villapiano who has ‘been out ever since the first of the season with a leg injury. Stumpy Rulison, rugged fullback) is expected to return from the bench where he spent last Saturday with a bad ankle, however, and Chuck Kendall should be at half again after a long layoff. Yesterday the freshmen showed the varsity Wabash formations.

Duke Star Is Dismissed From Football Team

By United Press i PITTSBURGH, Nov. 10.—John Perko of Chisholm, Minn. senior left guard of the Duquesne University football team, has been dismissed from the football team and from classes, Rev. John A. Manning, dean of men, announced last night. Perko’s dismissal was due to a “breach of discipline,” a terse announcement from the school said. It was learned Perko was involved in an altercation with a member of the school faculty Saturday, Oct. 31, after the game with Detroit University. He was not with the team when it defeated Washington University at St. Louis last week. Perko was one of the real stars on the Duquesne team and he will be missed greatly when the Dukes play Carnegie Tech in a city championship game Saturday.

Tech to Meet 5 Shortridge in Title Contest

Tilt to Feature Last Week of Local Scholastic Football.

Manat Ripple ees

BY PHILLIPS PECK

King Football which has ruled majestically over gridirons these past seven weeks bows out of the local scholastic sports: picture TFiiday with one final grand gesture— the Technical-Shortridge game at Butler Bowl for the All-City High

| School championship.

Probably one of the largest crowds to attend a local high school game this year will throng the spacious bowl to witness the climax of a colorful grid campaign. The “words and music” for the sport’s

swan song in prep circles includes:

Tomorrow Cathedral at Southport (2:00). Friday . Manual at Washington. Shortridge vs. Technical

ler Bowl). Silent Hoosiers at Broad Ripple.

Saturday Attucks at Roosevelt (Gary).

(But-

A goodly crowd of fans likely will |. | be drawn to the Cathedral-South-

port fray at Roosevelt Stadium tomorrow afternoon for the only Armistice Day battle on the local schedule. Return of George Langer, ace halfback, has bolstered Cathedral’s hopes for. victory. Coach A. E. Pitcher’s Cardinals will be out to avenge a 13-to-8 setback received last year from the Irish, and will be concluding one of the stiffest sghedules of any high school in the state. The Cards had 11 games booked this year; they have won six, lost two, tied one, and one game against St. Xavier of Loyiswilie was cancelled because of

ra, ohn attraction is the Wash-ington-Manual fray. The flashy Continentals won five games and lost but one—to Tech last week— and played a scoreless tie with Southport. Coach Harry Painter's Redskins have won three and lost four. @ Tech’s Campaign Unusual

Coach Doc Ball's Tech eleven has forged into the limelight slowly .and unpretentiously, knocking off Washington last week for their crowning achievement. The Big Green has

‘| been thoroughly unpredictable all|

season—from the very moment that they tied Jeff of Lafayette in the opener until today. It would take a bold prophet to hazard a guess as to the outcome of Friday’s game. Tech has been very confusing. The Big Green picked up speed in its first three games and looked better in each one. Manual held the powerful East Siders to a two-point win. The next week Tech downed Cathedral, 18 to 7. On- the following Friday with the North Central Conference title at stake the Big Green suddenly had a change of pace and lost to Anderson, 13 to 12. Then last week Doc Ball's warriors edged Washingten, 7 to 0. After beating Cathedral, 7 to 0, Shortridge lost to Washington after a desperate fight, 12 to 14.- Then fired with enthusiasm the Blue Devils crushed Broad Ripple. There have been few soft touches on either team’s schedule. Comparative ratings are tricky things to base predictions upon. . But here they are: Shortridge, 27; Manual, 6. Technical, 8; Manual 6. y Shortridge, 7; Jeff (Lafayette), 9. * Technical, 6; Jeff, 6. Shortridge, 7; Cathedral, 0. Technical, 18; Cathedral, 7. Shortridge, 12; Washington, 14. Technical, 7; Washington, 0. If you have a favorite—take your choice. As an added aid to making selections here’s the record of the long series between the schools:

3. 0 (tie). 0.

Games won Games won Two games : Eliminating Broad Ripple from consideration because it does not play all of the city schools and Cathedral because it is not a public institution, the championship race takes on new aspects. In this light it would be possible for Washington, Tech and Shortridge to tie for the Hite if Shortridge should defeat ‘ech Friday.

Big Boy Davis, 239, and Ray Steele, 218, two nationally known heavyweight wrestling aces, are to collide in tonight's main go attraction at the Armory to determine which one will get a chance against Dean Detton, the “Mormon Flash,” on Nov. 17. Detton, who is generally recognized as the world’s title holder, will come here a week from tonight in defense of his title claims. It will be his first local appearance. Indiana is one of the 25 states rating the touted Salt Lake City star as “tops.” Both Davis and Steele are anxious for the chance to face Defton and their encounter tonight promises to supply an unusual amount ‘of ‘detion. “-Steele-'is rated among the first five best heavies in the game. Davis, an aggressive type of performer, has been enjoying a: long winning streak here.

Major Issues

Consideration of St. Louis Deal Is Chief Item of Business.

BY STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Sale of the St. Louis Browns expected at an American League pow-wow here Thursday touched off a series © baseball moves today that may drop bombshells into both major leagues. The sale alone was explosive enough, but with its approval may come settlement of three major side issues: 1. Decision by Baseball Comm sioner K. M. Landis on the case Bob (Young) Feller, Cieveland’s schoolboy strikeout wonder from Van Meter, Ia. 2. Curb on radio broadcasting of American League contests. 3. Transactions by the host of baseball figures attracted by the meeting. Transfer of the browns from the

headed by Donald L. Barnes, St, Louis investment house executive; will be investigated Thursday by.

League club owner and approved if the prospective buyers meet their requirements. May Leave Cardinals

Only William O. De Witt, vice president and treasurer of the St. Louis Cardinals, has been linked with the syndicate, however, and the owners must know the others. If present plans go through, they will insist De Witt cut himself off from the National League club to become general manager of the Browns. After weeks of delay it was bee lieved Judge Landis had reached &.

Either way he rules—declaring Bullet Bob the property of Cleves land or a Iree agent—all major league clubs may be concerned, since the case involves their agree= ment with the minors not to sign any amateurs other than college players. Landis’ decision was said to hinge on whether Feller actually was signed by an official of the Fargo-Moorhead club of the North= ern League or some other scout, Feller then was sold to New Ore leans, a Cleveland farm, but res tired voluntarily with a sore army,

blunt’s Class A amateur team in Cleveland by the Indians. Thi pitched “him: three innings in an exhibition game with the Car~ dinals July 6 and he fanned eight men. him. Foresee Radio Contracts

Also afoot was a proposal to hold radio broadcasters to an actual de= scription of each game and avoid | comment on disputed decisions by umpires or managers. If this is adopted Thursday, each club would have a contract with broadcasters and League President Will Harridge would settle violations. The Chicago Cubs, inactive since their deal that sent Pitcher Lon Warneke to St. Louis, were the first to pick out this week to talk trades. Manager Charley Grimm, who still doesn’t know whether he'll boss the Cubs next year, was expected to confer with Owner Phil Wrigley “about getting a few more good men.” Wrigley discountéd reports that Frank Frisch of the Cardinals would replace Grimm.
