GOPHER SCRIBE LAUDS INDIANA

ALABAMA, TENNESSEE THIS WEEK

(COMMENTING on the Minnesota-Indiana grid game, George Rarton of Minneapolis, dean of Twin Cities sports writers, had the following to say: “The crafty Bo McMillin of the Hoosiers had stated in advance of the game that he had a very good first team, but was weak in re“placements. Bo was only spoofing when he issued those pregame statements as the contest produced the fact that Bo not only had a powerful and versatile first team, but possessed plenty of high-class replacements. “It didn’t seem to matter much who McMillin sent into the game Decause each reserve seemed to be just about as capable as the man he replaced. Coach Bierman’s strategy of wearing down Indiana by sending in two coniplete teams twice failed to feaze the Hoosiers. “The Gophers played far better football against Indi.ana than they did against Nebraska. If they had bogged down Saturday as they did at Lincoln, they would have suffered another defeat instead of having a six-point fri-

umph to their credit.” = #H n

BIG game in the South this week, Alabama at Tennessee. ... It was a scoreless tie last year. . .. Frank Thomas, Notre Dame, coachés the Tide; Maj. R. R. Neyland, West Point, is chief of the Vols. . . . Followers of Illinois Weslevan University are using the comparative score system as an argument for a place in the big league football sun. . . . De Paul of Chicago held Illinois to scoreless tie. . . . Illinois and Notre Dame played a scoreless tie. . . . Wesleyvan knocked off De Paul, 7 to 6. ... Next!... Harry Bell,

California looks a cinch to drive through the Pacific Coast Conference and land in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. . .. The race for the other invitation is wide open. . . . Princeton alumni in the Middle West will barge on Chicago Saturday to see the Tigers tackle the Maroons in an intersectional clash. . .. It is seldom that a member of the Ivy League comes out this way to show off its grid prowess. Ohio State has an open date this week. . . . Other Big Ten teams will be occupied as follows: Purdue at Northwestern, Illinois at Indiana, Minnesota at Michigan, Towa at Wisconsin, x 5 ” un n [7 ANSAS STATE has a junior lightweight quarterback, Frank Sims, 132 pounds. . . . And he is first string. . .. John McLaughry, Brown halfback, is the son of the Bears’ head coach, Tuss McLaughry. . . . Frank Filchock, Indiana's senior halfback, is getting plenty of rave notices in Middle Western newspapers as a result of his triple-threat pastiming against the Gophers. Michigan and Minnesota meet at Ann Arbor Saturday. . . . They have clashed 27 times over a period of 45 years. . . . The Wolverines won 18 games, Minnesota seven. . . . Two tie tilts were staged. . . . The Gophers annexed the last three by decisive scores, 34-0, 40-0, 26-0. . . . A bitter battle is the prediction for Saturday. ... Michigan is emerging from the grid doldrums and the 1937 squad is a fighting, clawing aggregation of Wolves boasting of an aggressive line led by Don Siegel, giant tackle. un » 8 ILL. McKECHNIE, new manager of the Cincy Reds, played with the Queen City team in 1916 and 1817. . . . And in 1914 he was the talented third sacker for the Indianapolis Federals. . . . Cincy fans are so enthusiastic over the change they predict the Redlegs perhaps might move out of the cellar next year. . . . One thing is certain, the team can’t be any worse. . Pepper Martin, St. Louis Cardinal veteran, holds a managerial interest in Junior Munsell, Oklahoma southpaw heavyweight and will second him against Ralph Carpenter of Chicago in Detroit Friday. . . . The headline attraction brings together John Henry Lewis, light heavyweight champion, and Izzy Gastanaga, heavyweight. un un u n » n Henry Armstrong has scored 18 knockouts in 19 starts this year and probably will be picked to dethrone Pete Sarron, National Boxing Association featherweight champion, in New York Oct. 28. . There are rumors, however, that Armstrong is having trouble making the featherweight poundage.

| When winter trade winds blow, the champion New York Giants will be in the thick of the bartering, it was believed today.

To get them, Manager | Bill Terry is expected to place | Hal Schumacher, outfielders Wally | Berger and Hank Leiber and First | Baseman Johnny McCarthy on the | block.

The Giants centerfield problem is acute. During the World Series, Terry used Hank Leiber and Lou Chiozza. Chiozza is a great fielder but a weak hitter. Leiber is a poor fielder but he can hit,

Record Sought

By Seabiscuit

Handicap Ace May Capture Money-Winning Title.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (U. P).— C. S. Howard's Seabiscuit ruled a heavy favorite today for the running of the $10,000 aded Continental Handicap at the Jamaica race track. Despite an impost of 130 pounds the son of Hard Tack was expected to go to the post at even money. The impost is 13 pounds greater than that assigned to the next heavily burdened entries, Mrs. Ethel Jacobs’ Caballero, and Hal Price Headley's pre-eminent, each of which will carry 117. Seabiscuit would become the leading money-winning thoroughbred of the year by winning today. Eight | victories in 11 starts this year have | given Seabiscuit earnings of $143,530, which is but $1090 less than the amount won by War Admiral, which has totaled $144.629. There are 13 entries for the Continental, a gallop of a mile and onesixteenth.

Soft for Casey Casey Stengel received $15,000 for not managing the Brooklyn Dodgers

where as Burleigh Grimes

got only $7500 for doing the job.
