One hundred behind-the-goal post ; tickets for the Army-Notre Dame encounter were placed on-public sale in New York the other day and were sold in 15 minutes. The U. S. Army nearly had to call in the New York constabulary to disperse several thousand citizens who milled around waving greenbacks and demanding pasteboards. Only three seniors have been in Purdue’s starting lineup the bulk of the time this fall—Cocaptain Joe Mihal, left tackle; Cocaptain Paul Humphrey, center, and Tony Ippolito, fullback. ‘The performance of Purdue’s Mike Byelene against Wisconsin in the second half rally was no flash in the pan. « « . Little Mike tossed a pass to Jack Krause for a touchdown in the opening game against Detroit, as well as breaking loose for a 23-yard touchdown dash in the same game.

No tickets will be available at the gate. : In past Duke-Carolina games the unfavored team more often than not has gone home with the bacon and within the recent memory of most of the 40,000 customers who’ will be on hand tomorrow each team has used the annual game to knock the other out of a possible postseason Bowl bid by spoiling a perfect record.

Although outclassed and outsmarted by Ohio the Violet turned around later in the same season ‘to*win. from the crack Fordham University outfit, 7 to 6. The 60-to-0 defeat was the worst sustained by the Violet under Coach Mal Stevens and is one of the highest scores ever made against N. Y. U. in its 56 years of intercollegiate competition.

Junior Major Loop May Discard Sluggers’ Delight
CHICAGO, Oct. 28 (U. P.).—American League officials considered today the feasibility of adopting a “modified ball” for the 1939 season, similar to the so-called “dead” ball used in the National League. ‘William Harridge, American League president, revealed last night that managers of some teams have conferred with sporting goods manu-
faeturers with the idea of deadening the “lively” ball, the delight of sluggers. The National League adopted its 1938 ball last Decembér, and although its use showed it wasn’t as “dead” as advertised, the league intends to keep it in play. It is a “modified’’ ball, one not as lively as the one used by the American League. The seams, too, are raised - slightly. “The "main object in changing to a ball similar to that used in the National League,” Harridge said, «would be to help the pitchers. The higher seams enable them to get a firmer grasp on the ball, and therefore have more control.”

Louisiana U. Is Threat to Tennessee Warriors.
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 28 (U. P.)—
‘| The Southeastern Conference foot-
ball campaign may be thrown wide open this week-end. Louisiana State can turn the trick by upsetting Tennessee, conqueror of Alabama and current leader of the circuit with three victories and no defeats. Louisiana, once beaten, turned giant killer last week and knocked Vanderbilt from the ranks of the undefeated, 7 to 0. Vandy had been Tennessee’s running-mate at the top of the standings. The odds for tomorrow’s game in Knoxville, however, favor Tennessee. The Vols didn't work up a sweat in swamping The Citadel, 44 to 0, last Saturday. George Cafego, the All-America halfback = candidate, made something like 50 yards in four tries the short time he was in the game. If Louisiana does beat Tennessee there’ll be a scramble for the Conference lead. Alabama, Louisiana State, Vanderbilt, Mississippi and Mississippi State each have lost once and if Tennessee should join them it would be anybody's championship.

For Encounter With Marcon Team.
By LEO DAUGHERTY
To the Fast, West and North today went Indiana's Big Three of the college football wars and little DePauw for tomorrow’s touchdown quests. Ten other Hoosierland teams remained on native soil for Indiana conference battles, one of them tonight and four others tomorrow. It probably won't be the best foot-
® [ball game of the day and certainly
doesn’t rank witn the “big” or “crucial” engagements, but the surprise skirmish of the afternoon
: |might be that one at Stagg Field in : | Chicago.
DePauw’s Tigers travel there to go big time against the University of Chicago Maroons, It’s big time for the Greencastles because Chicago still is a Big Tenner, even if it has been buffeted around unmercifully this year by three conference foes. Chicago's best showing to date has been a scoreless tie with the Bradley Poly Indians in the season’s warmer-upper. But remember Centre once went Fast unheard of and had the fans trying to find it on the map after the Prayin’ Colonels spilled Harvard. Coach Gaumy Neal pulls out of Greencastle tomorrow morning with a squad pared to 30 players. plans to present a shifted lineup, and ventured the prophecy that “I believe the team has one good game; under its belt and it might as well be played in Chicago as Greencastle.” He still is trying to figure out why the Tigers were no better than to yield to the Manchester Spartans last week, 7 to 6. Indications were that the starting backfield in the Windy City might find Howard Longshore at quarterback in place of Alex Shiach. Bob Kemp and Paul Randells were ready for halfback jobs with Bob Rohn certain at the tailback. DePauw followers are so eager over this one that the band gets
to go along and a special train with
about 300 fans aboard will pull out of Greencastle tomorrow morning.
Report Shaughnessy
Shifts Lineup Reports from Chicago were that Coach Clark Shaughnessy of the victoryless Maroons has been shifting fullbacks to tackles and tackles to fullback in a Yesperate effort to win tomorrow. Another report said that the La-
Salle St. coaching staff of the U. of C. met yesterday and decided that if the Maroon loses tomorrow it’s Thursday program will include checkers or chess with a cessation of all discussion of the science of football. Chicago has been thumped by Michigan, Iowa and Ohio State. Before Bo McMillin piloted his Crimson out of Bloomington . for Madison, Wis., to help in the homecoming celebration there, he received word that Howie Weiss, fullback and powerhouse of the Badger backfield, made one of those speedy foot-ball-player recoveries from injuries. If Weiss had to stay on the bench, the going might have been more comfortable for the Hoosiers. The Crimson were to complete preparations fon the: struggle in a workout this afternoon during a stopover at Janesville, Wis. Lineup revisions during practices indicated that Rdy Dumke, a sophomore substitute, would get the call to start at fullback. A drastic change in*the starting line was that Don Weardine would relieve Russ Sloss, regular center. Indiana and Wisconsin did not

Purdue Prepares
Aerial Attack
Coach Mal Elward used Mike Beylene, Jim Nesbitt and Ted Tykocki as the chief pitchers. An effective aerial attack would enable pint sized Mike to have an easier Saturday than the bruising ones’ he has experienced in sparkling against Wisconsin and Fordham. As Elward sought to build up a powerful relief for his regulars, Jack Winchell from Southport ‘stood a good chance to see guard duty. Purdue took last year’s fight, 13-t0-0, and has won eight of nine games between the two. To be like 81,000 other persons tomorrow, the place to be is at the Yankee Stadium in New York where the Notre Dame Irish will try to strengthen their bid as being the Yankees of football. They maneuver against the Army for the 25th time. The Irish outgunned the Cadets, 7-t0-0, last year and have won 16 of the 24 clashes. The Army has won only five times and two battles ended in no decisions. Of course, when the Irish left South Bend today, they had their usual trainful of players and their bumper supply of backs. The Cadets will enter the game the .underdog, despite the fact that they have won four and lost only to Columbia by the narrow 20-to-18 margin, The Wabash Little Giants are all keyed up for their battle of the Iron Key with the Butler Bulldogs before a home-coming crowd at Crawfordsville. Ownership of the key, the prize posted by the Blue Key fraternity, has been shared this year by reason of a surprising scoreless tie at the Butler Bowl last year. With Butler’s ace halfback, Frank Welton, out of service with a broken leg, the Little Giants, despite the fact that they, too, are beset by
