BUTLER BOOKS AMBITIOUS '39

Coach Hinkle Wants Extra Tilt on Road

Winter Drills to Be Held by Bulldogs; Six Home Games Arranged.

By LEO DAUGHERTY Butler's Bulldogs want to play a nine-game schedule for 1939! And no doubt the faculty athletic committee today weighed heavily Coach Tony Hinkle’s plea for per mission to do so after the idea was so. enthusiastically received by the 450 persons at last night’s Blue Key banquet for the 1938 team at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Tony made his wish known at the affair after announcing the booking of eight games—six of them at the Bowl—for next season in which there will be nine Saturday’s. " The event was highlighted also by the awarding of monograms and blankets, the election of Bob Connor as 1939 captain and the gridiron yarns of Red Grange. The Bulldogs, with present prospects of 16 returning lettermen and an upcoming squad of 34 from Pop Heddon’s freshmen ranks, will kickoff «in the Bowl next fall on Sept. 23 against Ball State. Following the Cardinals, Ohio University, Indiana State and George Washington of Washington come into the saucer. ‘The Bulldogs then go to DePauw and return for ‘home games with Washington of St. Louis and Wabash, then go to Western State of Michigan at Kalamazoo. : Hinkle is eager for a ninth game which would give the. boys a nice trip. The new captain will be a senior next year. He is a Cathedral product and is a left-handed quarterback. ; The Butler athletic chief revealed that preparations for the ambitious 1939 campaign will begin immediately after the Thanksgiving vacation. Linemen will practice on Mondays and Wednesday, backs - on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then together on Friday.

No Social Security Worries for Tony

- Tony Hinkle is one coach in the land who doesn’t have to worry about social security. Toastmaster Cully Thomas, Butler's all-time ace

athlete who more than two decades ago won 17 Bs, certainly knew his dope when he said that the mentor, who has been at Butler since 1921, is there to stay—if he wants to. Seems funny that two football captains who played against each other would meet-13 seasons after the game and one could say to the other: “Say, where did I meet you before?” And the other would have to reply: “On the 5-yard line, the 10-

than it used to be, which shows he didn’t see Dizzy Dean pitch last season. zn ” zn » s ” President Roosevelt once called himself the nation’s quarterback, but that was before the Texas Christians came up with young Davey O'Brien. ” ” ” » 2 T last four undefeated teams will expose their records to another test this week, Villanova against Manhattan, Tennessee against Kentucky, Duke against Pittsburgh and Texas Christian against Southern Methodist. The dope indicates Duke, not only unbeaten and untied, but also unscored on, will have the greatest difficulty in surviving. Pittsburgh, once more intact, with Biggie Goldberg again blocking with awesome ferocity, will certainly be no part of a pop over. Injuries may prove a vital factor. ~The Pittsburgh first team is probably the best team in the East, possibly the country, but the squad is weak in first class replacements. Thus a great deal will depend on how long Dr. John Bain Sutherland can keep his regulars on the field. The Duke line appears to be vulnerable. Several times :this season mediocre opposition has stormed through to place the ball within.the 10-yard line. Once Wake Forest had the ball on the three, only to lose it on a fumble. ; If Wake Forest could get that close the Panther backs figure to get closer. They are superior to any set of backs Duke has looked at all season. Indeed, this -superiority.in backs will probably decide the issue, for the Panthers’ line is not altogether shock proof itself. We still can see the Fordhams ripping large holes in it for more than half the game. : ay : a 2 i #2 un nn We were puzzled to see so many hoop skirts at the opening of the opera. We couldn’t tell whether it was a preview of “Gone With the Wind” or a parachute jumpers’ convention. # ” 2 ? i ” 2 2 OST of the interest in the Tennessee-Kentucky game tomorrow will center in George Cafego, the halfback. He has been running strong in the early All-America returns and if he happens to put on ga gaudy show against Kentucky he is likely to be pretty, generally picked. The all pickers like to scatter their shots and a Southern standout

ble for even the keenest judge of football ability to see all the good ~ ones in action, who can be sure? Once this year Cafego was stopped almost dead; this was when Bo Russell, a tackle, took charge of him in the Auburn game, And later, against Vanderbilt, Cafego played a secondary role to Babe Wood, a wate. These circumstances would seem to put the Tennessee star and his All-America hopes, for whatever they are worth, on the spot in the Kentucky game. : Incidentally, we are told the Sherman Hinkebein, of Kentucky, is the best center in the South, surpassing in all-round effectiveness even the widely headlined Dan Hill of Duke. This information comes to us from two coaches who saw both boys perform this year, and they insist they were looking at the right men, too. Still, we recall Mr. Ossie Solem, the Syracuse coach, took one look at Hill and said, “There ain’t no such animal” To Mr. Solem, Hill was the best he ever lo pked at. v : ” ” 8 " s 8 ‘We know “The Great Waltz” is a movie, but over in Philadelphia hear they have dedicated it to the Galento-Thomas figh

‘upside down it looks

Such was the case with Grange and Lou Reichel, Park’s coach and former Butler star. Assistant Coach Wally Middlesworth couldn’t help but laughingly recalling the game for the benefit of the whole crowd. Butler was playing Illinois at Champaign in 1925. The Bulldogs punted and Grange scooped it up. Just as he started running, Reichel dove for him and got an armful of thin air only. Grange veered to the right, stepped up about five yards and started back to the center of the field. Reichel was glad to see him again, but again missed the weaving Red. Old “77” went to the left a little, then up about 10 yards and back towards’ the middle. Reichel had gotten up and met him again, but again he missed. Of course a lot more Butlers missed at other points. Lou laughs as heartily about it now as the old Gallopin’ Ghost. Grange peeled off a lot of football tales, never bragged about himself, but praised Earl Britton who was the big policeman sounding the siren for him on many of his long journeys.

Law of Averages Works for Grange

“1 carried the ball 30 to 35 times in a game,” he said. Coach Bob Zuppke figured that out of every 100 times you carried the ball you ought to score so many times. Guess that’s why I scored so many. But if he made Britt carry the ball and me doing the blocking Britt would have been killed.” Red said he got his greatest thrill as a sophomore in a game at Iowa. “Zup was giving a chalk talk that morning and everyone was there but Britt,” he recalled. “No one could find him and finally a bellboy at the hotel tipped me off to look on the roof. “Iowa followers were staging a parade and Britt was up there making toy airplanes out of hotel stationery, writing nasty things about Iowa on them and sailing them down into the parade. “Britt could kick. It didn’t make any difference whether the ball was wet or dry and in that game he place-kicked a 55-yard field goal when the count was 7 to 6 against us.” The team got the congratulations of President James W. Putnam and Hilton U. Brown, president of the board of trustees. Prof. Henry M. Gelston, athletic committee chairman, awarded monograms and letters and Hinkle the B blankets. ° ’ Seniors awarded both letters and blankets were: : Al Sporer, John a. Silvio

Thirty-four freshmen were awarded numerals. 2 2 # =n The town was a mecca for quite a few football celebrities yesterday noon at the season’s final ses-

at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. The lineup included Coach Elmer Layden of Notre Dame; Bo McMillin of Indiana; Mal Elward and Mel Taube of Purdue; Noble Kizer, Purdue athletic director, and Red Grange. McMillin, who didn’t have any thing to say about his suggestion that the coach be permitted to go into the, huddle and call the signals, had his fun in operating the movie machine. "He maneuvered it some way so that Jack Brown's 98-yard opening run for a Purdue touchdown was nothing but a smear of gray on the screen. But he finally cleared away the clouds and let them see the thriller.
