Kudo to Wrestle ~ On Tuesday Card

The skilled Kiman Kudo, Japanese light heavyweight star who halted the long winning streak of

_ Whitey Wahlberg, will appear in a

special semi-windup on next Tuesday night’s wrestling card at the Armory. = A formidable opponent will be sént against the trick jujutsu star. Kiman beat Wahlberg

before 2500 fans last Tuesday. Dorve (Iron Man) Roche is heading toward Indianapolis to appear in the main event against Louis Thesz, 230, former heavyweight champ. Dorve scales 222. Thesz and Roche tangled here two weeks ago with Thesz being upset in a match which came only a few days after he had announced a “comeback” effort for the crown he lost four months ago to Bronko Nagurski. Losing to Roche knocked Louie out of two big Eastern bouts. At the request of Thesz, the Indiana State Athletic Commission is waiving the regulation 90-minute time limit rule and the two huskies will not be halted until a winner is declared. Dorve willingly accepted such terms. ;

Early Records on King Carl Missing

MEEKER, Okla. Oct. 20 (NEA). ~—The complete pitching record of Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants probably will be lost for baseball posterity. Statistics of his service in the Oklahoma State

~ League in 1923-24 are missing. The southpaw doesn’t remember the de-

quarters,

Information points that way.

Shortridge Frosh Down Washington

Scoring in the first and third the Shortridge High School freshman football team yesterday downed the yearlings, 13 to 0, on the Shortridge field.

Boilermakers To Be at Home

Illinois Entertains Indiana; DePauw Host to Butler.

By TOM OCHILTREE Purdue is to play on its home lot tomorrow, the Indiana University expeditionary force is to travel to Illinois in an attempt to crack a jinx that goes back to the original bustle days and Notre Dame and Navy are to settle things at Cleveland. Of traditional importance is the meeting in Greencastle between Butler's Bulldogs and the rather badly chewed up Tigers of DePauw. Despite the gloomy prophecies of Coach Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle of Butler, this game, judged on the basis of the season records of the two schools, is apt to be one of the worst debacles in DePauw’s history.

Earlham Still Unbeaten

Earlham, still undefeated and still in the running for a piece of the State Conference title, is to play Evansville at the latter's field. Manchester has the same conference status as Earlham, but is not to play again until Oct. 28 when it meets Valparaiso. The schedule of tomorrow afternoon’s games involving Hoosier teams: Michigan State vs. Purdue at Lafayette. Indiana vs. Illinois a$ Champaign, IIL Notre Dame vs. Navy at Cleveland. Butler castle. Luther College (Iowa) vs. Valparaiso at Valnaraiso. i Wabash vs. Hanover at Hanover. Ball State vs. Indiana State at Terre Haute. Earlham vs. Evansville at Evansville. Central Normal vs. Franklin, - The Irish and the Middies arrived in Cleveland this morning attended by the unusual fanfare, and it is estimated that the paid attendance and the press will bring the crowd at that city’s municipal lakefront stadium to 78,899. If you count the ushers, vendors, gatemen, members of the rival squads and Notre Dame's 100-piece band, the figure is expected to run to approximately 81,000. Undoubtedly, it will be one of the season’s largest football- crowds.

Notre Dame’s Edge Slim

Both teams are undefeated. Notre Dame in three games has scored only a slim seven points more than its rivals, but that was enough of a margin to give the Irish victories over Purdue, Georgia Tech and Southern Methodist. Navy defeated William and Mary and Virginia by (Continued on Page 29)

Gallagher Still Poking 'Em Out

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—Joe Gallagher, hard-hitting: St. Louis Browns outfielder, scored a 120-yard hole-in-one yesterday. Using a No. 4 iron, Gallagher played the shot perfectly agains a strong crosswind. .

St. Joe Bows To Louisville Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky. Oct. 20— Scoring in the second and ' third periods, the University of Louisville football team registered a 13-0 victory over St. Joseph’s College of Collegeville, Ind. here last night. The first touchdown came after a 56-yard march downfield, Lou Zimlich scoring on a T-yard toss from Jimmy Rosenfield. *red Schloemer converted. A fumbled punt by Ronald :Golay, St. Joseph back on the Puma 15, paved the way for the other

Cardinal tally. Rosenfield scored on an off-tackle play from the six.

Is Up for Sale

Breadon Indicates Several Offers Have Been Made.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20 (U. P.).—Outfielder Joe (Ducky) Medwick, highest paid player,on the St. Louis Cardinals roster, was on the trading block today, according to President Sam Breadon. “I wouldn’t hesitate to trade him,” Breadon 3aid, “as long as the deal would strengthen the Cards.” Breadon indicated that trade proposals have been made for Medwick. The Cards are not interested in cash for Medwick, but must have his equivalent in playing strength, Breadon said. “We would need a replacement for Joe in the outfield,” he added, “and we also would demand a good shortstop or second baseman.”

settle a football argument of purely local importance.

It’s a meeting between College of the Pacific, never heard of beyond California, until Amos Alonzo Stagg came out of Chicago to take over its team seven years ago, and San Jose State College which enjoyed only slightly more fame until Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner, chaffing at inactivity in retirement, became its advisory coach and mapped its offense this year.

The team coached by the gridiron mentors whose total coaching experience covers 94 years—50 for Stagg and 44 for Warner—meet in tiny Baxter Stadium in Stockton, Pacific's home field. A crowd of only 12,000 will see the game. Warner sends out a team which has scored 157 points and yielded only 13 in winning six games to

date. Stagg has the club which surprised the football world by beating Universty of California, 6-0.

The teams display. the ultimate in deceptive play. San Jose attacks with reverses, double reverses, spinners, cutbacks and tricky laterals. Pacific uses a flanker in motion, a “peadinger” flanking play, and spread punt formations that are equally deceiving. The odds are 2 to 1 on San Jose but there were plenty of fans who looked for Stagg to spring a surprise. Amos Alonzo wants this game badly. Not once in six previous meetings with San Jose has his team won. Then, too, Stagg, more agile than Warner despite his 77 years as compared to Pop's 68, has an old score to settle with his rival. Only once before have teams they coached met. In 1907, when Stagg’s University of Chicago team was tops in the Midwest and Warner was an upstart trying to bring national at-

tention to his Carlisle Indians, they sat facing each other across a gride iron. The Indians ran Stagg’s team ragged, won 18-4. This is Stagg’s golden anniversary year and his boys want to give him a clean slate for the year. The odds are that if they get by San Jose and Warner tonight, they’ll finish unbeaten. :
