By ELMER LAYDEN Notre Dame Football Coach

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 22.—Most of the major collegiate football teams don't kick off the 1939 season until Sept. 30, but dozens of games are on this weekend. You probably didn't know until now that San Jose out in California plays its third game of the season. Here's the way the season's prospects line up by sections. EAST—Fordham, with a couple of the country's leading scat-backs, popular choice for highest honors. I don't think they're wrong in rating Carnegie Tech on par with the Rams. Bill Kern needs only to uncover a quarterback to be stronger than last year. Too much should not be expected of new deal at Pitt. Carl Snavely expects to be all right at Cornell. Dartmouth should be better on the field than on paper. Holy Cross under new management has many high hopes and one especially high hurdle in Carnegie. Syracuse is picked in some quarters to show. Analysts say of Army: “That ‘backfield will give Notre Dame a battle.” Notre Dame can always depend on Army for a battle. So may the

for many of us this year. Maj. E. E. Larson, new coach at Navy, is said to face a slight depreciation in prospects. But Navy team is never to be underrated, as we know from bitter experience. L 4 ” 8

VILLANOVA-—Better than even chance to clean all clocks again. Tempile—Fred Swan in for Pop Warner at the coaching post: wait and see if the single wing formation makes a difference. Penn—packing a much improved punch with some tough opposition to try it on. Penn State—some high-class backs will help the Nittany Lions on the way back up. MIDWEST—Speed and more speed is catchword in Big Ten. Northwestern best title bet; speed backed by power. Michigan, with Tom Harmon of Gary, Ind. to pace, has speed and other things to warrant bright and determined eves on championship. Backs Brown, Brock Byelene, Purdue's “Three Bees,” found the bee-line to enemy goals last year: fastest trio in conference expected to double and re-double.

So quiet on the Buckeye front, it's ominous. Speaking of speed, however, Coach Francis Schmidt's Ohio State offense aiso will specialize in swift. Harry Stuhle dreher believes in flanking movements—Wisconsin will be fast and generally improved. Indiana still has pass pitchers de luxe. Iowa will do considerably better under Eddie Anderson. Capable of more {than one upset. Speed or no speed, don't forget the Gophers. Minnesota has power and a schedule favorable to a successful title defense, : ® ” 2 BIG SIX—Oklahoma lost its backfield but if Soph Joe Jacobs justifies his reputation, the Sooners are first choice to repeat for Big Six title. Dethroned Nebraska is probably main menace, with Iowa State and Kansas State not to be counted out before they start to fight. As for those Missour: Tigers, beware is said to be the word.

SOUTH—When Maj. Bob Neyland said of his star back, George Cafego, “He's a football player,” he meant

Cafego has everything. In the same spirit it can be said Tennessee has another football team this year. So in the Southeastern Conference, the Vols again. Main

threats, Alabama and Tulane. (Tipoff on Tulane on Sept. 30, against Clemson.) Georgia Tech made it tough for the best last year. Suffered line losses but retains most of backfield magicians. Bill Alexander always has a rabbit in his hat. More offense, strong defense makes of Duke a repeater in the Southern Conference despite loss of coffincorner kicker Tipton. North Carolina runner-up. Two dark horses—Clemson and Wake Forest. V. M. I. is celebrating centennial—the Kaydets will fight harder than ever. SOUTHWEST—Texas Christian lost Sammy Baugh and came up with Davey O'Brien. Davey’s gone, but now there's Jack Odle, better than his predecessors. But Matty Bell at §. M. U. has a three-way sophomore back, Preston Johnston, and nine of last year’s starters to thwart T. C. U.'s expectations. Matty himself tags his

prospects “the best in recent vears.” Then there's Rice —with a mighty line, Cordill's speed, Lain's throwing arm, and four non-conference games to warm up on. Razorback Eakin is expected to pitch the flanks for Arkansas; if the big Razorback flankers hang on to the ball, it may be Arkansas.

2 7 2

ROCKY MOUNTAINS—Il's Utah in the Rockies, Colorado or Denver U. may put the crimp in the Redskins’ scalplock. PACIFIC COAST—Stupendous, colossal, gigautic— the Trojans are back in stride. Allowing for Hollywood hyperbole, that's the size of the situation far west. Southern Cal to win the conference championship. California a contender, strong at the finish. Oregon State ready for big things, and getting an early test (Sept. 30) with Stanford, a light dark horse. Oregon a threat. Washington with stonewall defense and a few offensive ifs to settle. Buck Shaw is a little worried about his prospects at Santa Clara; Slip Madigan at St. Mary's is not. Both these non-conference contenders will be strong. NOTRE DAME—Reserves in the line are our particu lar problem. Purdue, Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech, Army, Iowa, Northwestern and Southern California in that order aggravate the problem. ILLINOIS—Material about same, Prospect fair for hurdling half or more of six tough obstacles. Chicago—

“ HERE'S DOPE ON STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMES TOMORROW

Butler Host ToBall State

A BIG upset occurred in the college grid sport before the season really got under way. ... Vanderbilt took on a practice opponent in Tennessee Tech Thursday and the pushover upped and pushed back to gain a tie. In games involving Hoosier elevens tomorrow the advance dope runs something like this: Butler over Ball State... in a bitter battle at Butler Bowl. Wabash to edge out Rose at Terre Haute. Eastern Illinois to take care of Central Normal. Manchester to have its own way against Grand Rapids. St. Joe to give the bounce to Wilson College. Valparaiso to bow before Toledo's Rockets. Indiana State to get the short end at Bradley Tech.

= ® Jd ® = ”

HEIGTENED INTEREST in Middle Western inter-collegiate football for 1939 is indicated in reports of advance ticket sales by Big Ten Conference schools. . . . / A uniform increase over pre-season ticket demands of 1938 has been reported, in two instances to startling proportions. Indiana University, with Nebraska and Purdue comprising its home schedule, has reported an advance of 600 per cent over last year, although the remarkable increase is explained by the fact tickets have been on sale throughout the summer. . Michigan, with a home schedule including Michigan State, Yale and Iowa together with its largest-drawing Conference opponents, Minnesota and Ohio State, has reported exceptional interest and an ;advance in sales of more than 73°. : Having added 7200 new seats to care for crowds at its games with Marquette, Indiana, Iowa, Texas and Purdue, Wisconsin is certain to ‘play to a considerably greater number that a year ago, and has re‘ported its ticket applications up about 13%.

All's Well in Wildcats’ Camp

WITH ONE of the strongest teams in the Conference. Northwestern reports ticket sales increased materially for its games with Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue and Iowa. . . , The Wildcats look for a banner season. Iowa's advance ticket sales are reported “far ahead of 1938. with orders coming in much earlier and holding up exceptionally.” The Hawkeyes play Indiana, Notre Dame and Minnesota at home. Substantial increases have been reported by Ohio State, which will play Missouri, Northwestern, Cornell, Indiana and Illinois at home, and Minnesota, whose home schedule includes Arizona, Purdue, Northwestern, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

2 2 2 2 8 2

ONLY CHICAGO and Illinois have not reported definite advances. «. . Maroon authorities, however, expect no decrease in total attendance with a seven-game home schedule whith includes Beloit, Wabash, Oberlin. Michigan, Ohio State and a colorful intersectional rival, Harvard. ; A late deadline for ticket applications has given Illinois little op= portunity to judge the probable volume of advance sales but looks for increased interest in Illini team prospects to heighten demands for home games with Bradley, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Notre Dame Tickets on Sale Here

OUTSIDE THE Big Ten circles Notre Dame, among other Middle Western schools, also has reported a material advance in pre-season sales, as has Pittsburgh in the East. Notre Dame's opener with Purdue has established a record for advance sales, and its home meeting with another Big Ten rival, Northwestern, is expected to prove a highlight of the season.

» = ” 2 = = TICKETS FOR the Purdue at Notre Dame tilt Sept. 30 have been placed on sale in Indianapolis at the Bush-Feezle Sporting Goods Co., 136 E. Washington St., and at Joseph Sexton's, 707 Peoples Bank Bldg. These same agencies will handle tickets for all Notre Dame home games which do not become sellouts before the public sale of pasteboards normally opens, 10 days before each game.

” o 2 = 2 2 PURDUE WITH its “Three Bees,” Brown, Bylene and Brock, is not the only Western Conference school which can boast a set of high-geared [ootball triplets. . . . Ohio State with its “Three Jims,” Langhurst, Strausbaugh and Sexton, has a set which packs a diversified punch The three Ohio State “Jims” won their letters while operating in the Buck backfield as sophomores last season. . . . Langhurst at fullback, Strausbaugh at left halfback, and Sexton at quarterback. Langhurst led the Big Ten in scoring, Sexton showed himself an effective signal caller and a good passer and Strausbaugh, although he did not get loose much last season, always presented a poiential threat to break away for a long jun.

2 on 2 2 = 5 TRAINER MATT Bullock plans to transport 360 gallons of water for the University of Illinois football team on its trip to Los Angeles to play Southern California on Oct. 14. . . . The water will be carried in gallon bottles, packed in 30 cases, a dozen to the case. The Orange and Blue water wagon, a familiar sight at games in the Illinois stadium for the last 10 vears, has worn out and will be replaced by a new and lighter conveyance.

| Seven Other State College, |

The teams in the State's “Big | | Three" are holding their fire for an- | |other week, but for nine Indiana] institutions of higher learning, including Butler University, the 1939 football season will be launched tomorrow afternoon. Butler is to play host to Ball State at the Bowl and if the meeting between these two schools is anything like as good as last vear's game, which Butler won by a 12-to-6 margin, the customers should be well satisfied. Other games tomorrow involving Hoosier schools are: Wabash vs. Rose Poly at Terre Haute. Indiana State vs. Bradley Tech at Peoria, Ill St. Joseph's vs. Wilson College at Rensselaer. Manchester vs. Grand Rapids Junior College at North Manchester. Central Normal vs. Eastern Illinois Teachers at Danville. Valparaiso vs. Toledo at Toledo, O. The question before the house in the game here is whether Butler will be able to stop Ball State's shadow man, Quarterback Jimmy Phend, who as a sophomore last year led all other Hoosier backs in, points scored. Coach John Magnabosco doesn't start Phend, preferring to hold him on the sidelines until the proper chain of circumstances sets up a possible scoring situation for the | Cardinals, and then, whether the {distance to be gained is 60 yards or Isix, Phend is called upon for the { job.

Frazier at Fullback

Sam Guervitz probably will start at quarterback for the Cardinals. | | Other starting backs are expected | {to be Dale Fisher, left halfback: Owen Fisher, right halfback. and Garland Frazier, a good line buster, | fullback. In the Cardinal line will be John Carbone and Ernest Sample, ends; | Dick Stealy and Ralph Peterson, ! tackles; Bob Worthman and Gaber | Takats, guards, and Mike Milankovic, | center. To pit against this strength, Coach (Paul D.

Against Colonels.

Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky. Sept. 22.—As far as the Indianapolis Indians are concerned, it's do or die tonight in their fifth game against the Colonels. The Kentuckians already have three games tucked away in this final series of the Association playoffs and need but one more to move into the Little World Series. Don French has hurled the Tribe to its only victory of the series and

repeat this evening. Bill Burwell is expected to send Yank Terry, the pride of Bedford, Ind., against him. The Colonels won again last night, 4 to 2, but for the second time in as many nights they had to vell for Wes Flowers to bring relief. The story was about the same as the previous night. Woody Rich, Louisville hurler, went into the eighth inning on top, 4-1. After retiring one man, Rich dropped Campbell's assist at first, and Legrant Scott was safe. McCormick scored Scott with a double and Allen Hunt walked. Flowers then was beckoned from the bull pen and he struck out both Jess Newman and Bill Baker. The Hoosiers tallied their other run in the fourth on Hunt's twobagger and Newman's single. Red Barrett, John Wilson and Lefty Lloyd Johnson all had their | chances on the Tribe rubber, giving fup 11 hits among them. | Colonels plated one in the third and bunchéd three more runs in the sixth. If the Hoosiers can come through tonight, the series will return to Perry Stadium tomorrow evening. | The seventh game, if necessary, will

| be played Sunday afternoon.
