Washington, Rockets, Tech
FOOTBALL WILL have the sports stage to itself next week-end and grid interest naturally will be whipped up to a greater degree than during the conflict with the World Series. . . . It takes a couple of rounds of big games to get the grid fans warmed up properly to something resembling midseason form. Take a look at the Hoosier picture for Oct. 14 and write your own ticket. . .. Purdue at Minnesota, probably one of the leading attractions of the Big Ten season. . .". Indiana will be at Wisconsin for its third start on the new season
and its second Western Conference encounter.
Notre Dame will be in another intersectional struggle, with a Southwest foe this time, Southern Methodist University of Texas; at South Bend. . . . Butler's Bulldogs step into the major bracket by playing host to George Washington University of Washington, D. C. . A year ago the Bulldogs invaded Washington and were thumped, 26- 0. In 1938 Minnesota defeated the Boilermakers, 7 to 0, in a rousing melee and the Badgers downed Indiana in a close one, 6 to 0. . . . The Methodists of Dallas are new on the Irish schedule.
Play Off a Scoreless 1928 Tie
IN THE Hoosier State college field next week's games and last fall’s scores follow:
Wabash (0) at Earlham (0). . . « Who'll be the first to score? DePauw (41) at Evansville (0). .. . It was a waltz for the Tigers. Valparaiso (34) at Indiana State (20). . . « A touchdown parade, no less. Franklin at Rose Poly. . . « They did not clash a year ago. Hanover at Manchester. . . . No tilt between them in 1938. St. Joseph (2) at Louisville (0). . . . By the margin of a safety. Central Normal (7) at Defiance (7). . « « Maybe they'll settle it,

r OTHER ACTION in the Big Ten a week hence-calls for Harvard at Chicago, Iowa at Michigan, Northwestern at Ohio State, Illinois at Southern California. , . . Nice scenic trip for the Illini and against a mighty foe. While the Maroons hardly rate as a match for Harvard, the appearance of the Crimson in the Middle West is expected to create unusual interest and maybe Chicago will find a way to give the Ivy League eleven all it can handle.
® = © THIS COLUMN fumbled a last week’s score in Thursday’s issue while listing this week’s opponents in leading games together with last week's records of said opponents. . . . Hampden-Sydney, which plays Dartmouth’s Big Green today, was credited with a 26-to-0 victory over the University of Maryland. As a matter of record, the Maryland Terrapins got the 26 points,
not the Virginia college, which was on the shutout end in that game.
Cooney to Become Big League Coach
JOHNNY COONEY, former star flychaser and hitter with the Indianapolis club, will take Barney Mike Kelly's place on the Boston Bees’ coach staff, now that Mike has signed with the Pirates. Paul Derringer’s caustic remark: “Big league outfielders should catch fly balls.” . . . Not mentioning the names of Teammates Ival Goodman and Wallie Berger, of course. Indianapolis’ Indians have renewed their working agreement with the Cincinnati Reds for 1940. . . . The Redlegs also are pledged to send surplus talent to the Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association. . . . They bought controlling interest there.

Keep Slates Clean.
By TOM OCHILTREE
With the colors of Cathedral High School humbled for the first time this season, the football teams of Washington, Tech and Broad Ripple remained undefeated today because in the pinches they were able to explode the most powerful running attacks. Victory didn’t come particularly
easy for any of the three yesterday. The two other undefeated city teams, Shortridge and Park, were to get their tests this afternoon when the former played at Culver and the latter at Howe Military Academy. Scores of yesterday’s games involving Indianapolis and Marion County high schools fol-

Plainfield, 0; Ben Davis, 0 (tie). New Castle, 14; Southport, 8. The Washington-Cathedral engagement was the major game on this list, because it brought together two strong City rivals who heretofore had not been defeated. Both teams were worthy of the attention attracted to them, and they put on a hard fight that probably would have aroused memories in the late General Custer. The game was played on Washington's field,
Line Play Heavy Factor
In the end, the runs of Boris (Babe) Dimancheff, the Russian jackrabbit, and the superiority of the Continental line were the factors which gave Washington the triumph. Throughout the first half the two
.|teams battled on even terms with
Ott Hurrle, Irish fullback, matching Dimancheff’'s wide sweeps with hard-driving line plunges. But Dimancheff is an extraordinary ball carrier. It is even notice-
|able when the Washington team is
warming up. Even his opponents must know and dread that time .in the game where he will get a little opening and be off to the goal line like a frightened deer. Jaynes Recovers Fumble
To start the second half Coach Joe Harmon sent in the Irish second team, which fumbled on its own |g 34-yard line and the ball was recovered by Capt. Kenneth Jaynes, Washington right guard. Dimancheff and Bob Millspaugh then punched up to the Irish 22 for a first down, and on a fake reverse that fooled the Cathedral secondary, 'Dimancheff zoomed the rest of the ‘way for the touchdown. In the first attempt for the exifa point, both teams were offside, and the ‘Continentals were given another try. This time the ball was poorly centered, and the Washington backs juggled it around between themselves, unable to buck across (Continued on Page 7)

Loses to Louisville by Margin of One Point.
Times Special LOUISVILLE, Oct. 7.—By scoring in the final five minutes of play the University of Louisville last night defeated the Evansville College Aces, 7 to 6, before a home-coming crowd of 5000.
Neither team was able to make a sustained drive in the first: half. Taking to the air in the third period, Evansville gained 60 yards by this route. Acker tock a pass from Hess on the Evansville 30 and ran to the Cardinals’ 19. Another pass, Hess to Montgomery, put the ball on the 1-foot line and Easley bucked center for the score. Co-captain Schloemer, of Louisville, blocked Easley’s attempt for the extra point. In the fourth quarter, Turner ran an Evansville punt from midfield to the Ace 20. McKay, Turner and Rosenfield alternated to plunge for a first down. Turner went around end to the five, and Rosenfield slipped over guard for the score. The winning extra point was booted by Schloemer.

nual business of humiliating the
season. We don’t know whether it is good news or bad for the rest of baseball, but the Yankees are going to stand pat. Considering that many expert observers are ‘inclined to -the belief this is one of the greatest teams ever put together, the decision to stand pat an the present lineup will not come as a head-rocking surprise. Just the same, there have been reports that certain changes were being considered.
Greenberg Yarn Denied
There was, for instance, the possibility of a trade with the Detroit Tigers which would bring Hank Greenberg, the slugging first baseman, to .Yankee Stadium. Mr, Barrow tells us this possibility no longer exists; in fact, it never did exist. And Mr. Barrow ought to know|: what he is talking about. He is the Yankee president. “We don’t plan to make any changes at all,” said Mr. Barrow. “The chances are we will take the field next spring wich the same club you are Joking at in this series. That means Babe Dahlgren will be on first base. We aren’t interested in dealing for Greenberg and never have been. Where that: report started is a mystery to us.” When Dahlgren replaced the ailing Lou Gehrig in the lineup this season it was looked upon as a temporary arrangement. Dahlgren had been with the club in a reserve capacity. Skilled at third and first, his value was that of an emergency (Continued on Page 17)
