$ ridge, Tech Stress ‘Foolers’ for Tomorrow's Game; Saddened Butler Team Renews Practice, Hopes to Finish Season Undefeated.
J¥ THERE is any doubt that the Tech-Shortridge battle is ~. going to be a siege of wits, let that doubt now be allayed. + 1 spent one afternoon this week at each of the team’s practice fields, and came away completely baffled, not for ‘the first time, of course, but completely baffled by the scientific data which Coaches Ball and Nipper are injecting into their boys for this all-important scrap. ; Both Mr. Ball and Mr. Nipper will admit, under pres- = sure, that their plans for saving the respective names of Shortridge and Tech look plenty feasible on paper. But alas, each will conclude his remarks by saying that football, alas, is not played on paper. " But the coaches admit that the paper part of this particular football game may prove to be much more powerful than in many high school frays. It has been shown that Tech is just about one pound heavier all around than Shortridge. Now that’s pretty close for two teams on the physieal side. So the material they carry on to the field under their headgears tomorrow may mean the difference be- * tween a victory and a defeat, although some folks we know twill argue that actually there is no great difference. As 1 watched the boys run through some smart signal ~ drill my mind wandered back to the time I struggled to make a local high school team. 1 wanted to be a quarterback, one of the smart, Bennie Friedman variety. But each time I took the field against any opposition, all sense of so-called field generalship seemed to fade completely away. All I could see were those. 11 huge players on the other team,
bearing down on us with savage, cynical grins.

So THE COACH, sensing the vacuum which must be pervading my freshman cranium, wrote out the complete set of signals on a large tag and let me wire it to the belt on my football pants. It helped a great deal, for each time . that the grimaces of the primeval opponents caused my memory to slip I would merely jerk out the little tag and read off the signals. But on the kick-off of one of the big freshman games, I happened to be in the path of the ball. I caught it and started what is technically known as a run back of a kickoff. You couldn't have called my sojourn that because it didn’t go back, it just stopped.. There were two big reasons why I stopped. Both of them were 190-pound tackles. To make sure 1 wasn't going to get up, the rest of the linemen piled on. The bone-cracking and vertebrae-twisting that went on beneath’ that pile was terrific. It felt like a whole course in chiropractic science taught in one lesson. ! But if I suffered physically while languishing in the grasp of several carnivorous tacklers, my mental torture upon getting back my senses was twice as depressing. Some one on the other team had stolen the tag off my pelt, containing all our signals. Boy, what a second half that other team played! :
“
=” M7 ESTERDAY afternoon a solemn squad of football play- ® ers ran briskly through a short work-out in the field back of the Butler fieldhouse. It was the first practice this Week for the Bulldogs. * |! The saddened team-mates of Spero Costas returned "ftom his funeral in Canton, Ill, about midnight Tuesday. They got a little sleep, went to classes yesterday morning and turned out for practice ahead of schedule. Even Inman Blackaby, who was in the accident in which Costas was Killed, was on hand. © ‘As usual, the boys were thinking of what their captain would have liked them to do. He would have told them to be sure to keep in shape for that game with Western State Teachers Saturday. ! ° “That’s the one we want,” Spero said, a few hours bebre his death. Those words are ringing in the gridders’ ears, and the Butler boys are out to get Spero the game he ted. Man Reports from Western State. Teachers in Kalamazoo, ve the impression that the Westerners would be satisfied make a good showing against the Indiana Conference Qamrione record has been nothing to paste on the wall, but the Kalamazoo teachers can always be counted on to give “a stiff battle. The trouble is, the Bulldogs are still thinking about the only defeat they received last year at the hands
Western State. . » # » EVER SINCE the football season started Coach Harry + Stuhldreher has been praying that the sun would shine ‘on Saturday. The fates refused him until last Saturday, : and then folks found out why Harry wanted a dry day and fast field. : i) His doughty little Wisconsin team, which scarred its huckles trying to batter down superior opponents all sean, has played four games in the mud and rain. Saturday played on its kind of field and held Northwestern to an ght-point victory. One has only to realize that Wisconsin lost 35 to 14 to due, which was beaten 33 to 0 by Minnesota, which was pfeated 6 to 0 by Northwestern to understand what Wisonsin’s last stand Saturday meant. } The boys from Madison threw 30 passes, completed 19 them. Gains from their passes totaled 185 yards and 11 their 17 first downs were made via the aerial route, enine them to out-gain the Wildcats, 297 yards to 276. hwestern made but 10 first downs.

Little Giants in Top Form for Tiger Tilt
Return of Gruca and Wolf Adds Strength to Wabash Squad.
Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. Nov. 12—~Wabash Coliege gridmen went through their final intensive practice session of the season here today as they prepared for their game with De Pauw, Saturday, at Gréencastle. Coach Pete Vaughan, veteran mentor of the Little Giant squad, indicated his team would be at full strength for the annual football classic. The Little Giants are favored in the forty-fourth renewal of the series—the oldest football series west of the Allegheny Mountains—but Coach Vaughan has warned the squad all week about overconfidence.
Tigers Improve
The Tiger eleven has not had a very impressive season as a whole but nevertheless Coach Gaumy
siderably in recent weeks and with the eri~4ers free for the first time of an injury plague which has beset them this year De Pauw is expected to be a formidable foe for Wabasi. In their last four games the Tigers have not been defeated, winning games from Manchester, second high scorer among state college circles, and Earlham, while playing ties with Evansville and Ball - State. Comparative scores on rivals which both teams have met this year give Wabash an advantage but such statistics are figured to mean little in the historic combat, where the teams have tradition and intense enthusiasm to spur them on.
Veterans Return
Probable return to competition of Joe Gruca, junior halfback, and L. F. Wolf, veteran senior wingman, has bolstered strength of the Wabash squad. Gruca has been out of the lineup for some time because of a bad knee and Wolf suffered minor injuries in the Franklin game. Adams, sophomore end, is: slated to replace Jimmy Johnson, who quit school because of scholastic difficulties, at one of the wing berths. This likely will be the only material change Coach Vaughan will make in his lineup. Five Wabash regulars, White, quarterback; Wolf, endl; Hoke, guard; Moring, center; and .Miller, guard, will end ‘their college gridjron careers at Greencastle Satur day. All have been mainstays 'in the Little Giants’ attack this season which has smashed through six opponents and been reversed only by Butler, 9 to 1. : Wabash and De Pauw played a scoreless tie last season and the Little Giants scored a 7-t0-6 victory in the 1934 game. ab 2

together some razzle-dazzle work to take the ball to Cathedral's 21-yard line. Harrell, Wasson and Harrell again made it a first down on the Irish six-yard stripe. Harrell picked up one; Wasson got four, and then Harrell scored his second touchdown of the afternoon. Hendershott passed to Colbert for the point but it»wasn't needed particularly, for Cathedral was unable to piece together threat.

Negro Flash Quits Squad, Then Returns
Quarrel With Coach Solem - Is Described; Tells of Early ‘Offers.’
BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent
JOWA CITY, Ia., Nov. 12.—-Oze Simmons, swivel-hipped Negro fulle back, today withdrew his second “resignation” from the University of Iowa football team. : Simmons, frequently hailed as & “one-man team” to the dissatisfaction of other players, agreed to forget his quarrel with Coach Ossie Solem and report for practice as. usual. ¢ “I know we’ll get along fine now,” Simmons said after a midnight cone ference with Solem and C. M. Upde« graff, chairman of the board of athe letics. “Everything is settled satise factorily.” Squad in Bad Mood writers, however, doubted whether “everything” had been sete tled. When Simmons returns to practice he will work with a squad wracked by dissension. - Jowa has won only two games against Carleton and South Dae kota. It tied Illinois, but lost to Northwestern and Indiana. The slump reached a climax last week when Minnesota climbed all: over the Hawkeyes, 52 to 0. There were cries for Solem’s scalp even before the Minnesota debacle. His retention of the coaching job was more than ever in doubt when the squad assembled Monday for a lecture on its faults against Minne« sota and discussions of possibilities against the high-powered Purdue and . Temple teams left on the schedule. Solem and Simmons got into an argument over Simmons’ work, Player and coach lost théir tempers, Solem ordered Oze from the room. He left and announced he was “through.” : . Co-Captain Ted Osmaioski per suaded him to report for practice Tuesday, however. When Simmons showed up on the field, Solem demanded an apology. Simmons refused and said he thought Solem owed him an apology. Oze then left the field and turned in his suit. His brother, Don, took his place in the lineup. “I've taken too much abuse this season because of Iowa's poor show« (Turn to Page 23) *
