1° last season, Coach Jim Yeager of Iowa State called his players together and told them that the six consecutive defeats they had suffered had not been in vain, “Almost all of us will be back together next year,” he said in a dressing room speech. “The games that we have lost don’t mean anything now. Ali that time we've been playing together we've been mastering fundamentals and improving timing. Next year we'll be a better team.” ’ The Staters went out that afternoon and turned in an upset victory, 3 to 0, over Marquette. : Iowa State has lost only one game since then, to Oklahoma near the end of last season. ... This Saturday the Cyclones’ team will face Marquette again at Milwaukee.

ARMY-NOTRE DAME TICKETS AVAILABLE

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (U. P.).—A few tickets for the Army-Notre Dame football game Saturday were still available today, marking the first time in years that this traditional tilt has not been a sellout weeks ahead of the kickoff. The Army Information Service here put 100 grandstand tickets at $4.40 each on sale at the Army Building this morning, and it was announced that a few box seats were still to be had at $6.60 each by writing or wiring the Athletic Association at West Point,

COLUMBIA’S LUCKMAN DRILLS ON PASSING

NEW YORK, Oct. 28 (U. P.).—Cornell can expect a barrage of passes by Sid Luckman when they meet the Columbia Lions Saturday. Coach Lou Little, smarting under successive setbacks by Colgate and Penn, put his backs and ends through a three-hour aerial drill yesterday. Assistant coaches Cliff Battles and Sam Cordovano aided the second string linesmen in breaking up the varsity aerials.

VIOLETS CORRECT FAULTS FOR OHIO STATE

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (U. P.).—Coach Mal Stevens continued to-drill his N. Y. U. Vielets in football fundamentals today in preparation for Ohio State’s invasion Saturday. Stevens believes that N. Y. U.’s defeat by Lafayette last week was due to poor tackling, blocking and charging. He planned to devote at least an hour a day to these faults, ?

FINAL SCHOONER RACE TODAY

BOSTON, Oct. 26 (U. P.).—The fifth and deciding race for the International Fishermen's Trophy will be sailed around a 36-mile triangular course off the Boston Coast today. Capt. Ben Fine of the American challenger Gertrude L. Thebaud was much displeased with the postponement of yesterday's race because of storm warnings. His schooner, smaller than the Canadian defending champion Bluenose, is a much better performer in a stiff wind.

CROWLEY REVISES FORWARD WALL

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (U. P).—Loss of his regular right end and left guard for the Pitt game forced Coach Jim Crowley to make a wholesale revision of his Fordham forward wall today. Guard Mike Kochel - suffered a nose injury against Oregon last week and will be out of the lineup and end Vincent Dennery, recovering from tonsilitis, will not be strong enough to play.

DASHIELL REMAINS AS INSTRUCTOR

RENO, Oct. 26 (U. P.).—Douglas Dashiell, retiring footba:l coach of the University of Nevada, will be retained as a physical instructor for the remainder of the year, Leon Hartman, acting university president, said today. Dashiell resigned yesterday after circulation of a petition signed by 40 members of the football squad, the student president and athletic manager. The petition charged incompetence and demanded _ the resignation of Dashiell, line-coach Duane Keller and Dr. J. E. Martie, athletic director.

Manual Reserves Beat Southport

While the Manual freshman football team was battling the Southport rhinies to a scoreless tie yesterday at Delavan Smith Field, Manual’s second team journeyed to the Cardinals’ home field to nose out Southport’s second team, 7-0. The Southport rhinies were in position to score early in the third quarter when a passing attack brought them up to the Manual 7-yard line, but the Manual defense stiffened and the Cardinal freshmen were unable to score. Manual’s reserves owed their vietory to Robert Timmons, regular end man, who filled the vacancy created by Allen Smith, second team sparkplug and fullback, who sprained his wrist in the ManualBroad Ripple game last Friday. Timmons accounted for the points

Welton Lost to Butler Eleven

Halfback Breaks Leg During Practice; Out for Season.

8

Frank Welton, Butler’s ace brok=en field runner and senior varsity gridder, will be out of action for the remainder of the season, Dr. J. T. McCallum, university physician indicated today. Welton broke his left leg yesterday during a varsity-freshman scrimmage. The stellar halfback’s injury is a decided blow to the squad which needs a victory over Wabash College Saturday to garner its fifth consecutive Indiana Collegiate Conference title. . Welton, who saw prep action at Manual Training High School here, has been bothered by injuries since last winter when he broke an arm. The 185-pound back reported for this season’s duties, however, but was placed on the injured roster before the opening game with Ball State because of a dislocated shoulder. Two weeks ago in Washington D. C. he wrenched an elbow playing against George Washington University. Ralph Swager, diminutive sophomore from Charleston, W. Va. is Coach Tony Hinkle's likely choice to replace Welton. The Bulldogs resumed intensive drilling yesterday for Saturday's invasion of Crawfordsville.

Contrevent Wins In English Race

year’s record crowd. The Butler Bulldogs will oppose the Little Giants in the feature attraction. Festivities begin Friday night, when the annual pre-homecoming bonfire, parade and pepfest will be held by the student body. A luncheon for students, alumni and friends of the college will be held in the gymnasium Saturday noon, preceding the game at 2 p. m. All fraternities will entertain their returning alumni with dinner at the chapter houses Saturday night. ; Such traditional features as the catching of the greased pig between halves of the game by the freshman class, decoration of the fraternity houses in competition for the Sphinx Club cup and the downtown band concert at noon Saturday will be observed.

Butler Band To Be There

Butler students and alumni, accompanied by the Butler band, will occupy a special section of bleachers on Ingalls Field. Still seeking a triumph, the Scarlet gridders’ Coach R. E. (Pete) Vaughan will spena the next two days attempting to build a defense against the Butier scoring attack as well as trying to find a combination that can tally. Butler has already defeated Ball State and DePauw, the only other two Indiana = College Conference foes on the card, and the expected victory over Wabash will give the Bulldogs another boost toward their fffth comsecutive championship. The Bulldogs have not been defeated in state conference competition since 1933 when Wabash beat them, and the two ties the Little Giants have been able to register since that time are the best any team has been able to do.

Series Replete With Upsets

Last year the Scarlet upset the predictions by holding the Bulldogs to a 0-0 draw and the Blue and White warriors will be out to prevent any such happening again this year. Wabash has yet to win its firgt game this year and will enter the contest on the short end of the dope. The Butler-Wabash rivalty, however, is replete with upsets and a losing season for either school is often made successful by a victory over its traditional rival, Vaughan’s charges will enter the game in better shape than at any time since the opening of the season.

Amateur Football

Fashion Cleaners will practice tonight at 7:30 o'clock at Riverside Drive and Burdsal Parkway. All players report or call LI-9629. The Cleaners will play the Greenfield Merchants at Greenfield Sunday.

‘Slump’ Vacation Idea Complicated—McLemore

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Connie Mack's suggestion that players in slumps be granted vacations with pay instead of suspensions is gratifying to those of us wno have long pitied the baseball hands for their

hard work and oppressive hours. It is almost more than one can bear to think of a baseball piayer’s drudgery. He must work nearly six months of each year, and at the sweatshop hours of from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. The only time he has to

Lazzeri Free To Hunt Post

Wrigley says He Can Rejoin Cubs if He Desires.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26 (U.P.) —Tony Lazzeri, former second baseman of the New York Yankees who came to the Cubs last year as playercoach, was free today to shop around for a major league managerial posis tion, but if a pilot's job is not forth« coming he can return to Chicago next season. Reports from San Francisco quot« ing “Poosh 'Em Up” Tony as saying he had been released by the Cubs, were denied by Club Owner Phil Wrigley. “Lazzeri telephoned from San Francisco to ask if he could hava his unconditional vrelease—if he wanted it,” Wrigley said, “and I told him he could. That's all that was said. No formal release papers have gone through. There's still & place in the Cubs organization for Lazzeri next year—if he wants it.” There are three major league managerial berth vacancies Tony might be dickering for—the S¢. Louis Cards and Browns, and the Detroit Tigers.
