‘Better Be Wary of the Gang From

Grid Leaders to Put ’39 Shields on ‘Block’; One Will Be Blemished

Cornell or Ohio State Due for Disappointment; Some Spotless Records Endangered, but Most Are Safe, Says Layden.

By ELMER LAYDEN Notre Dame Football Coach

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 27.—One shield is sure to be tarnished

with defeat or tie at the end of this week’s collegiate football games. Some others are endangered. For the most part the undefeatd should

keep their records unblemished.

Cornell and Ohio State are the only undefeated, untied major teams

playing each other. The Buckeyes had a nerve-wracking time at Minnesota last Saturday. The Big Red was not pressed by Penn State, but it

has plenty of reserves to keep the boys up to the mark. That makes you

look for the tarnish at Columbus.

North Carolina

power—Fordham will testify.

If Carnegie Tech will spend most of the time on the ground, Notre Dame has better than even chance. If the Tartans throw from the whistle—you never can tell

what is going to happen when the ball is in the air.

DUQUESNE-TEXAS TECH—don‘t think the Dukes left their all on the field while upsetting Pitt last week. But it will be tough. Texas A. & M.-Baylor—A. & M.

looks like the class of the Southwest.

The now undefeated and untied (*) should be still undefeated when the following games have been played

Purdue-Santa Clara —Buck Shaw's team resurged brilliantly against St. Mary's, but the Boilermakers have a balanced power and speed which is on the rise— and a hairline advantage. Arkan-sas-Villanova—don’t think Arkansas can stop Villanova on the bounce-back from the 33-7 punch Texas A. & M. administered to Clipper Smith’s smoothies. Iowa-Wis-consin—at the start of the season you might have given this one to the Badgers.

John Car-roll-Case—this should be the second step to a city of Cleveland championship. Loyola (New Orleans)Creighton—teammates under Rockne clash—Moon Mullins vs. Marchy Schwartz. Let’s settle for a tie. Other games: SOUTH—L. S. U.-Vanderbilt — Vanderbilt must reverse form to take this one. Auburn-Georgia Tech—you can’t stop ‘em if you can’t see ’em—Georgia Tech's ball carriers will be hard to find. Ala-bama-Mississippi State — Alabama will be smarting from that Tennessee trimming. Florida-Maryland— if Maryland wins it will be an upset. The first are best of all remaining games: Duke-Wake Forest, Richmond-Citadel, V. P. I.-Washington-Lee, Furman-Davidson, West Virginia-South Carolina. Pacific Ccast—Washington-Stan-ford—Heads, Stanford wins. It’s tails. St. Mary’s-Portland—How can St. Mary’s lose? Only by feeling just that way about it. Southwest—Texas-Rice—Rice will have to do an about-face. T.C. U.Centenary—The Frogs win a game!

2 2 ” BIG TEN-Illinois-Northwestern —Zuppke’s tricks will not match the Purple’s slowly rising power. East—Princeton will do up Brown, it appears. Holy Cross should handle Colgate. Penn State and Syracuse both took sound trouncings last Saturday. Syracuse, off the comeback. Temple is logical over

Bucknell.

Big Six—Missouri should still be tied for Big Six title after meeting Iowa State.

change of base in fighting in Indianapolis, it was evidenced last night when an announcement was made that the future bi-weekly boxing shows, starting next Friday night, will be held in Tomlinson Hall instead of at the Armory as in the past. Army orders calling for intensive training of the National Guard, meaning, among other things, extra drill nights, have made the change necessary. : Tomlinson -Hall, scene of fight shows for several generations, has recently undergone many improvements, among which was the .installation of 1200 leather-seat chairs. New light fixtures have been installed and there has been much painting and decorating. Kelse McClure, the Hercules A.

Wallen put the first important block on the Tide defensive right end as Andridge and Vol, left end, took care of the defemsive right tackle. Butler headed toward Nelson, Bama defensive left wing back who was blocked by Balitsaris, Tennessee right end. Butler again reversed his field and remained in the clear as Guard Thomas and Halfback Andridge completed blocks on secondary defenders. Davis, Alabama tackle, followed the play and was in a good position to make the tackle when Peel came through with an all-important block on the 20-yard line, leaving

Coaches Push 16-Team Plan

Indiana's basketball coaches still want a 1l6-team state tournament but don’t see much chance of an immediate change, according to a consensus of the mentors meeting last night at the Hotel Antlers. The meeting was held in connection with the Indiana State Teachers’ Association convention. Coaches at a session under the direction of J. Wendell Ballard of Shelbyville, Indiana Coaches’ Association president, voiced an intent to continue their drive to impress school principals with the arvisability of returning to the 16-team plan. The coaches would like to replace the present schedule of sectional, regional, semi-final and final tourneys. ‘They voted approval of the sixman grid team for smaller schools and decided to lend their help in promoting such athletics. The principal spedker at the banquet was Dr. N. P. Neilson of Washington, D. C., executive secretary of the American Association for Health and Physical Education of the National Education Association. He declared that theory and practice should be combined in physical education, “using the activity to develop the boys, rather than the boys to develop the activity.”

Isolater Is Hurt, Out of Pimlico

BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 27 (U.P.). ~—Trainer Jim Fitzsimmons announced today that Belair Stud’s Isolater had injured a hock in his stall at Laurel Park during the night and has been thrown out of the Pimlico Special into probable retirement for the season. The defection left only three horses—Kayak II, Challedon and Cravat—in the running for the mile and 3-16 event Wednesday to determine the “horse of the year.”

Krueger, Leading" Mates : to Bowl Gates.

By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Sports Writer Z In the Deep South folks resent the inference that Tennessee is the only football team in Dixie, and the warning they offer is: . “Better be wary Of the gang from Gary . . .” De-coded, thi; poetic message calls atention to the fact that the Indiana steel city has furnished a great part of the power which enables Tulane’s Green Wave to chart a Bowl course—whether it be Rose, Sugar or Orange. Lowell Dawson, who at 32 is one of the youngest big-time coaches in the business, has fashioned what

running attack in the South. : Why Take to Air? There has been some criticism about the New Orleans team rarely taking to the air, but Red Dawson logically explains there is little need to when his club can gain anywhere from 250 to 300 yards every Saturday afternoon on straight footall. That’s ‘what the Wave did in beating a tough Clemson team, Auburn, Fordham and tying North Carolina. Tulane’s aerial. average in 1938 was four passes a game, possibly the lowest of any major team in the country. It won’t be any higher this season with the type of material at Dawson’s command.

Additional Gary importations are Charles Block, Marty Comer and Pete Mandich, sophomore reserve linemen. And on Other End— Paired at the other end with Bodney is Ralph Wenzel, 212-pound star from Tucker, Ark., a great defensive player whom many consider the equal of Jerry Dalrymple, another Arkansan who made AllAmerica at Tulane a few years back. Millard White, 212 pounds, and Harvey McCollum, 235 pounds, are the tackles. McCollum plays the right side of the line with O’Boyle and Wenzel.

Will Play at Last

SOUTH - BEND, Ind. Oct. 27.— Notre Dame’s B team will open its 1939 schedule—at long last—against St." Francis College of Latrobe, Pa., at Johnstown, Pa., Sunday. Games with Illinois and Northwestern B teams scheduled for earlier in the season, were postponed at the request of the Irish opponents. The St. Francis team is coached by Jim Leonard, former Notre Dame fullback and guard. = Included on the squad of 22 men likely to make the trip is Knute Rockne Jr., speedy lightweight right halfback and a sophomore. Bob O'Neill, senior brother of Joe O’Neill, 1936 star left end, will be at tackle for the reserves. Ed Sullivan, sophomore brother of the late Joe Sullivan, 1935 captain, is slated for a guard post. :

posts, with center ably handled by Hank Flower, 193. This gives Tulane the heaviest line in Dixie. The reserves backing up the first seven are almost as big and efficient. Krueger weighs only 169, but has few peers as a field general. Buddy Banker, 195-pound kid brother of Tulane’s former allAmerica Billy Banker, is the power boy of the ball-carrying corps, deploying from right half. Bob Kellogg is a slippery 167-pounder who operates at left half. Fred Gloden is a 186-pound fullback. Behind them are Stan Nyhan, Fred Cassibry, Harry Hays and Monette Butler, who in no way de-

Butler's Foes In City Today

Head Coach Jimmy Conzelman and his two assistants, Frank Kopczak ‘and Frank Loebs, former luminaries of ‘Notre Dame and Purdue, respectively, were to arrive in town this afternoon with their Washington University grid squad and hold a light workout in the Butler Bowl as a final warmup for Butler's home-coming battle tomorrow.

The: undefeated Bulldogs were handed an easy drill yesterday,

| brushing up on their aerial drive

to cope with the Bears’ overhead attack. Coach Tony Hinkle served notice that he will start Henry Abts at the right halfback instead of Richard Freuchtenicht, a sophomore. Abts, a Syracuse, Ind. junior, has been pilaying the understudy role for fullback Bill Kreag. The Hinklemen will be at full power for the Missouri aggregation. No injuries were received in last week’s lop-sided victory over DePauw and Joe Dezelan, local junior tackler, will be ready for line duty, having recovered from a slight attack of intestinal flu. The home-coming clash probably will feature a two-man battle for individual honors with Butler's Tom Harding, nation’s leading scorer,
