Big Green Has |
One Veteran in Forward Wall
Coach Had to Fill Sven Vacancies; Size of Squad, Optimistic Note.
Working with an inexperienced squad that includes four lettermen, Coach Robert L. Ball is fighting to build a Technical team that can hold its own against central Indiana’s football powerhouses. Seven strong teams remain on the Big Green schedule—Jefferson of Lafayette, Muncie and Anderson from the potent North Central Conference, and Manual, Cathedral, Washington and Shortridge of Indianapolis. - Confronted by the necessity of filling seven varsity positions with untried material, Tech's coaching staff doesn’t expect a championship team this season. In the line only Norman Linne, senior end, is a letterman. Harry Adkins, right half, Jim McCormick, fuilback, and Tommy Wilson, quarterback, are backfield veterans, but Wilson is out for the present with an arm infection and will see service only a part of the season. But to counteract this none-too-bright outleok is the fact that the biggest Tech squad in recent years, ost of them underclassmen, is playing football, and that several of those underclassmen rapidly are developing into topflight football players. r Faces Jeff Tomorrow : Coach Ball is working hard fo get his team into shape for its second North Central Conference game at Lafayette tomorrow. Jeff, he says, is “plenty :tough.” After winning from Logansport and Frankfort, the Jeff team took a 26-6 lacing from Middletown, O. last week, and Coach Ball seems to think they'll be in a fighting mood. Against Jeff, Coach Ball says he probably will start a team composed of Linne and Goodman, ends; Bostic and Hartlage, tackles; Kirsch and Thomas, guards; Johnson, center; Risley, quarterback; Adkins and Weaver, halfbacks, and McCormick, fullback.
McCormick Veteran Back
Fullback Jim McCormick, 180und senior, is the veteran who
burden in ‘the Big Green backfield. Risley and Wilson, quarterbacks, are light—each weighing about 130— and Wilson's injury has made the quarterback position one of Tech's toughest problems. Harry Adkins will hold down one of the halfback berths with the same skill; it is hoped, that he showed last season, but the other is wide open. Jim Weaver, a senior who can punt and pass has the edge right now. But Johnny Higginbotham, junior basketball star, is developing fast and may be in there before the season is over. Higginbotham has been out:with a severe cold this week. Sophomore Charlie Howard is another halfback who shows promise. To aid Coach Ball in his building program is a capable group of assistants—Wayne Rhodes, his righthand man; Warren Cleveland, who has charge of the reserves, and Paul Wetzel and Ray Scott, freshman coaches. ci The remainder of the Technical
schedule follows: . 8—Muncie, here. - . 15—Manual, here. .. 22—Cathedral, here. . 29—At Anderson. Nov. 5—Washington, here. Nov. 12—Shortridge at Butler Bowl.
Lowell Hasn’t Lost a Game
In Three Years
LOWELL, Ind, Sept. 30.—The Lowell High School football team, undefeated since 1934, boasts a record that is believed to be unique in Indiana high school circles. The Lowellites have either won or tied 25 games in a row. With a total enrollment of about 350 pupils, Lowell has 62 boys out for football this year. The team has won all its games so far this season, and Coaches Walter Floyd and Gene Wern believe this year’s team is one of Lowell's strongest. Games on Lowell's schedule are: Morocco, Oct. 1; Momence, Oct. 8; Griffith, Oct. 15; Crown Point, Oct. 29, and Valparaiso, Nov. 5. All games except the final one are at home.
Roller Leaders Cover 113 Miles
Tiny McDowell and Billy Lyons were far out in front of the field today as the Roller Derby at the Fair Grounds Coliseum reached into its third round of competition. The leaders had covered 113 miles and picked up 14 points to hold a comfortable margin over their closest rivals, the Grace Freid-Jack Cummings team and the Gene Vizena-Joe Nygra combination, who were tied for second with seven points and 113 miles apiece. A crowd estimated at 4000 watched the second night of the event. Standing of leaders: Miles Pts.

| Sullivan Seems Headed For Another Big Year
By PHILLIPS J. PECK - United Press Staff Correspondent With competition growing keener and opponents more formidable as the season unfolds, interest in Indiana high school football takes a rapid rise this week-end with Conference gameés lending a rich flavor to the
schedule.
the southern Indiana loop—potential champions are beginning to rear their heads above the rank and file. Sullivan appears well-started for another great season under Coach Paul (Spike) Kelly and bids fair to dominate the S. I. A. C. this year. Boasting two conference wins, Sullivan meets Bloomington tomorrow at Sullivan. The latter eleven will be playing its first league engagement. Other S. I. A. C. tilts tomorrow include New Albany at Bicknell and Vincennes at Princeton. Both the latter teams have-one victory to their credit in the conference standings.
Evansville Plays Away
Don Ping’s Memorial of Evansville eleven, not a conference member, but one of southern Indiana's strongest high school teams, plays Saturday at Robinson, Ill. Memorial has scored 159 points to its opponents 6 in three games thus far, and is unbeaten in its last 30 starts. Four games are booked for tomorrow on the North Central Conference schedule—known to high school grid fans as the “Big Ten.” They are: Richmond at Newcastle, Frankfort at Logansport, Technical (Indianapolis) at Lafayette and Muncie at Kokomo.
Lafayette, Technical and Marion still are unbeaten in league competition. Marion entertains Elwood tomorrow and Anderson, another Big Ten member, plays at Noblesville in. non-conference engagements. Lafayette seeks to retain its 1936 title this season and Tech appears to be the toughest contener. In the northern Indiana high school conference—stronghold of state prep elevens—Hammond High and Whiting are early-season favorites of the western division while Riley of South Bend and Elkhart ‘look best of the eastern division lineup.
