THE OLD AND NEW FOR PURDUE ON FALL'S 8STAR GRID MENU
/ =
OTH the old and the new feature Purdue’s strenuous football schedule this fall, ranging from Indiana, a ¥ perennial rival that has been met 41 times, to Santa Clara, . a brand new foe that will send the Boilermakers to the "Pacific Coast for the first time in history on Oct. 28 in a . Pacific World’s Fair attraction. : . The opening battle with Notre Dame, a team that like the Boilermakers lost only one game last year, has already been designated by the critics as the outstanding early game of the nation’s 1939 card, and will mark the first meeting between the Hoosler rivals since the two-game series in 1933 and 1934 when Purdue took the first and the Irish grabbed the second. ink - Purdue’s second start against Minnesota's defending
Big Ten champions will find the Boilermakers striving to even matters with the only team that humbled the Old Gold and Black last season, while the Dad’s Day attraction will be provided with the’ start of a new series against Michigan State, one of the récognized gridiron powers of the Middle West.. The game with the Spartans will mark the first meeting between the two rivals-in 20 years, for the only previous games on record were in 1918 and 1919 when the Boilermakers eked out a pair of victories.
Yes, It Was a Surprise!
OLLOWING the jaunt to the Pacific Coast, the Boilermakers will return to West Lafayette particulary eager for a victory over. Iowa in the home-coming tussle on Nov. 4, for the Hawkeyes were responsible for the surprising scoreless tie last fall that kept Purdue from sharing the Big Ten title with- Minnesota. ; The Hawkeyes, incidentally, are expected to be revitalized by Eddie Anderson, a new head coach. < The next two road games offer the Boilermakers a chance to even the all-time series count with both Northwestern and Wisconsin. . . . The Wildcats went one up in the Purdue series in 1937, while Wisconsin’s lead in the nwvalry with the Boilermakers was whittled to one up last fall in the spectacular 13-to-7 victory for the Hoosiers.

EVENTY-FIVE candidates, including 25 major lettermen from last fall’s squad are included on the tentative roster of aspiring gridders that Coach Mal Elwara must whip into shape in rapid-fire order for one of the most ambitious schedules that has ever been tackled by a Purdue eleven. ; Elward’s early problems of preparing for an “eight-star” card is complicated by the fact that the Boilermakers will have only three. days of double drills before the official opening of classes at the university restricts practice sessions to the one-a-day. Drills will be officially launched on Monday, Sept. 11, while classes at the University will start Thursday, Sept. 14.
Indianapolis Lads on Roster
URDUE has not formally elected a captain for the 1939 season. ... A captain will be appointed by Coach Elward for each game, and an honorary captain for the season as a whole will be elected at the close of the schedule. Purdue’s grid roster contains three Indianapolis products, Jack Brown, Robert Kersey and Marshall Read. . . . Thirty-six warriors on the squad of 75 are Hoosiers. Twenty-five lettermen will

CINCINNATI, Aug. 19 (U. P.).— The Cincinnati Reds, seeking pitching reinforcements for the “stretch” drive in the National League pennant race, today obtained Milburn Shoffner, 33-year-old southpaw, from the Boston Bees via the waiver route. At the same time, the Reds released Pitcher Ray (Peaches) Davis to the Philadelphia Phillies to make room for Shoffner on the roster. Davis a righthander, is 28 year old. Shoffner’'s record this year: ParLeipaisd in 25 games; won four, lost Davis’ record: Worked in 19 games; won one, lost none. Last season ‘Shoffner won eight

LA PORTE, Ind., Aug. 19 (U. P)). —Harold (Red) Wiley, pro of the Rea Park course at Terre Haute, took an early lead in the Indiana Open Golf Championship over the Beechwood Course today when he turned in a 71 for his first round, one under par figures. Ben Drame, Vincenes pro, took & 73 to grab second place as less than half of the record starting field of 145 pros and amateurs posted their scores. Wiley was one over par on the first nine, but nailed two birdies . coming in to break par. An all-night _ rain and a strong north wind kept the scores rather.high compared to some sparkling performances in practice rounds yesterday.
Cummings Shoots 75
. 0. E. Cummings of Fortville and Jim Easter of Logansport took 75 each. Other early scores included: John Zakes of La Porte, 80; Jim Will of Michigan City, 81; W. Van Horne , Jr. of Logansport, 78; Harry Allse paw of Lafayette, 76; Stan Reffner of Auburn, 77; Frank Dobson of Tipton, 84, and Ken Sellers, 77. =.

He and Wayne’ Clark, Evansville amateur, scored a best-ball total of 65 to lead two other teams by one stroke. . Al Collins and Bill Reed Jr. of Indianapolis, and Bud Williamson, '37 open titleholder, and Glenn Mil- , ler, both of F't. Wayne, tied for second place in the warmup meet with’ 66 for each team. Williamson turned in a 69 to give fair warhing he was not to be sold out as a contender in this year’s meet. Fortyl Twosomes Vie Seven teams tied for fourth nlace in the pro-amateur affair. °~ They were: 3 Bob Grant of Kokomo and Dick: McCreary of Indianapolis; Frank.

Playoff Carded Among Amateurs
Kansas City’s league leaders today moved into Indianapolis for the last time this season and the series with the Indians'is booked to open under the lights tonight. The Blues hold a 10-to-6 margin over the Redskins and are here for three games, closing with a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon. Don French probably will draw the Tribe mound assignment tonight and he will be shooting for his 15th victory of the season. The Blues are on the top side of the two-club race with Minneapolis for the American Association pennant and are ahead of the Millers by two | games.
Home Run DiMaggio
Prominent in the Kansas City lineup is Vincent DiMaggio, home run slugger and the league leader in that department. fle has been sold to the Cincinnati Reds for spring delivery at a reported price of $40,000. Other - leading Blues are Gerald Priddy and Phil Rizzuto, the young keystone combination who are priced as a pair at $150,000, according to Manager Bill Meyer. At first base is Johnny Sturm who will be given a chance to play first base for the New York Yankees next season. Yankee scouts rate him the best of the first base talent in their chain.
Game Is Transferred
~The Indians and Saints were rained out in their series finale last night and the Apostles shoved off for Toledo as the Blues replaced them here. Since it was St. Paul’s last trip to Indianapolis the postponed tilt will have to be played off when the Indians swing through the: Twin Cities for the last time. The Redskins have 30 more games to play before the curtain drops on the 154-game schedule on Sept. 10. They have won 42 games at home ;jand lost 23. Their road record is 25 won and 34 lost.

To his surprise in the first trip, Ambers discovered that he was better off standing toe to toe and slugging with Armstfong than he was while attempting to box him. This led the Herkimer Hurricane to sacrifice a little of his blazing speed for punching power which resulted in his winning nine straight scraps the past year and knocking out or halting Paul Junior, Honey Melody, Frankie Wallace and Baby Arizmendi. Al Weill, his manager, points to Ambers’ success in rematches. Armstrong and Jimmy McLarnin, whom he spotted 11 pounds, are the only two holding decisions over Ambers which were not reversed, and. McLarnin retired before the Italian youth could get ansther whack at him. Among others, Ambers repelled Phil Rafferty, Arizmendi, Tony Can-
