Eddie Ash Picks Irish, Purdi ue and Indiana to Come Through

Southern college teams took over the headlines last - week-end and ambushed Northern foes for a row of victories. On the Sept. 30 week-end the Pacific Coast supplied the upsets, or whatever you call it when a favored eleven is bowled over. Usually it’s just a poor guess except when an underdog tosses a last-minute touchdown pass. Some major teams played their first games last week and naturally the warriors will know more about it on

Notre Dame And Butler In Big Tilts
Games Here and at South “Bend Top State Card; I. U. And Purdue on Road.
By TOM OCHILTREE
: With Purdue and Indiana playdng slightly tarnished giants up North, the major football battles ‘on Hoosier soil tomorrow will be the intersectional engagements involving Butler's Bulldogs and George ‘Washington University here and ‘Notre Dame and Southern Methoddist at South Bend. The meeting between Purdue and Minnesota at Minneapolis will be -the first Big Ten |encounter of the season for both schools. While most of the experts who picked one or the other of these teams in September as the ible conference title winner alre have. cooled off faster than “cup of lunch wagon coffee, there still is a ‘chance that when the n- has been concluded this will be regarded. as the decisive game. :

cles the games involving Earlham | |

Butler—are attracting considerable attention. The complete schedule of tomorrow's games involving Hoosier colleges and universities: Southern Methodist vs. Dame at South Bend. Purdue vs. Minnesota at Minneapolis. Indiana vs. Wisconsin at Madison. George ‘Washington VU. vs. Butler here. Valparaiso vs. Indiana State at Terre Haute. DePauw vs, Evansville at Evansville. Wabash vs. mond. ~ Franklin vs. Rose Poly at Terre Haute. Hanover vs. Manchester at North Manchester. . Central Normal vs. Deflance at . Defiance, O. ' The same Buber team that performed so well against Ball State and Ohio University and started the rout of Indiana State will take the field against George Washington, a team from the nation’s capital that is known variously as the Presidents and Colonials. Activities at the Bowl actually are to begin at 1:30 p. m., a half hour before game time, with a “Na- - tional Defense Pay” program in which various military units are to take part.
Butler Out for Revenge
“The Bulldogs will be out to avenge the 26-0 licking handed them by Washington last year in the first meeting between the two schools, and if the Blue and White line can continue to charge with the spirit it has shown in previous games there is a chance they will be able to make the grade. Since the Presidents’ starting lineup contains five sophomores, three Juniors and three seniors, and since the team has only, played one game, defeating Davis and Elkins College, 19 to 0, last week ‘in its opener, the Colonials still are a comparatively untried crew. The starting lineup of the invaders is expected to consist of Nowaskey and August, ends; Keahey and Jones, tackles; Swett and Ziobro, guards; Monchlovich, center; Wilamoski, left halfback: Booth, right halfback: Wele, fullbaek, and Ba- * bich, quarterback. August, Ziobro, Monchlovich, Wilamoski and Welc are the sophomores. An apendectomy has taken John Kokoski, crack running guard, out of the lineup and Coach William J. Reinhart reported that he keenly felt this loss.
‘ Mustangs Hard to Dope
Wilamoski starts ‘at left halfback chiefly because he is a triple threater, but as far as runing goes Batson and Richardson, his alternates, are rated on a par with him, and Richardson has a whiplash pass delivery that’s a dandy. On the basis of its record thus far, Bouthern Methodist’s team is harder to figure out than a Chinese safe combination. The Mustangs opened the season by playing a 7-7 tie with Oklahoma, which appears now ‘to have been something of a feat since Oklahoma went on to humble Northwestern and gain a reputation oo itself as one of the real power aS s of the Southwest. :

JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—New champions will rule every active | boxing ‘ division within the next year—except the middleweight class—says Johnny Attell, match maker for Mike Jacobs’ 20th Cen tury Club.

Henry's Fight No
Title Go, Is Ruling
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Oct. 13 (U.] P.).—Edward Foster, secretary of
the National Boxing Association, said today that the champion in any division had to meet one of the first three challengers, as designated by the N. B. A. for a bout to be recognized as a title contest by the Association. | Foster's statement was made in explanation of the Association's stand on the Armstrong-Scott fight, billed as a championship contest, in Minneapolis tonight. “Scott’s name is not included on the N. B. A. list of the leading 10 challengers,” Foster said, “so it will be impossible for the association to recognize it as a fight for the title. N. B. A. rules state specifically that the champion can risk the cham-
pionship only against one of the]
three top ranking challengers.” Asked what would be the association’s stand in case Scott scored a knockout over Armstrong, Foster
replied “if both come within the}
welterweight limit of 147 pounds and Scott knolks out Armstrong, I see nothing for us to do but recognize Scott as the new Champion.
