TURNING FROM the gridiron to.the baseball stove league: Frankie Frisch, new manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, admits he was won over by Indianapolis Mike Kelly as he watched the lively Irishman do his stuff for 77 games in Boston, where Frisch spent the last summer as baseball broadcaster. . . . And Frankie signed Mike as Pirate coach shortly after taking over the Buc reins. The radio assignment, in several respects, gave Frisch a gew perspective on the game which he says is sure to help him. . . . He saw the scene from an entirely new angle

and learned a lot of things. : For one thing he observed that Kelly was out with the Boston Bees’ kid players each day hours ahead of the

Wood Rebuilds Lineup and Expeets to ‘Make Game of It Against N. D.

By DANIEL Times Special Writer WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.,, Nov. 3.— Off Army's tie with Columbia and defeat by Yale, its chancé# of stopping Notre Dame's unbeaten tog ball team in their 26th meeting in Yankee Stadium tomorrow would

{appear slim indeed. But in the last

fortnight things have been happening on the Plains, Capt. Bill Wood today announced that a reconstructed eleven, with a stepped-up offense, would take the field against the Irish. “After our little adventure in New Haven we looked as if we didn’t belong on the same gridiron with Notre Dame,” West Point's coach said. “But withiour changes and Notre Dame’s ¢lose call against Carnegie Tech we feel a lot better

around here. I think it safe to prom-

ise you quite a football game. “We have dropped the experiment with Jim Rooney as a blocking back and have sent him back to running guard. This has made a big difference on the line. Bob Evans, sec ond-string center, has been. cone. verted into a. blocking back. Bill Mullin has lost his starting assignment as wing back to Jere Maupin. “As a consequence, the backfield which will open against Notre Dame

{will be composed of Jack Hatch, Art

Frontczak, Maupin’ and Evans. Frontczak and Evans are hard blockers, and Maupin can take care of his end in that department, too. “With two passers in Hatch and Maupin we will be able to go back

{to a more varied offense—along the

lines of that used with Wilson and Long last year. Maupin Disappointing “Something had to be done to get more speed and variety into the attack. Until we met Ursinus last Saturday we hadn't averaged 100 yards a game.” N\ “The one man who has more than come up to expactations is Hatch. He has been a marvel both on defense and attack. The one player who has been a great disappointment is Maupin. But I still believe he is a great back. 5 “We will be 100. per cent perfect in so far as physical condition is concerned on Saturday. One thing

_|is definite. We are in much better

shape than we were for the Notre Dame game last year. You know, we had them 7 to 6 going into the last Juaster, but they wore us down, 19

‘Time to Prove It’

“We presented the game to Yale after a fine showing against a dandy Columbia team. If we have Enyining, now is the time to prove

What have Army scouts told Capt. Wood about Notre Dame? “Well, they say the Irish are both great and poor,” the coach replied. “They certainly are opportunists. They are aggressive and depend almost entirely on a running attack. They must have some pass tricks in their bag, but up to now they have thrown something like 24 passes. Against Carnegie they did not complete one out of eight. “It's a formidable picture. But our line has been improving, and with our changes on offense, we may beSome the opportunists this weekend.”

Butler's undefeated Bulldogs and

Wabash College will meet tomor-

row for the 35th time since 1884,|:

in a “crutch” football game in the Butler Bowl at 1:30 p. m. Both coaches, Raymond (Pete) Vaughan of Wabash and Coach Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle of Butler have spent the entire week searching for replacements. Wabash earlier this week lost its regular quarterback, William Sabo of East Chicago because of a broken collar bone. Martin Quinn, also of him while Gene Maloney will start at one of the guards in place of Laton Lelley, another injured

starter. : Garwood Stowed : Coach Hinkle’s troubles have been confited entirely to his ball carriers. He has lost Henry Abts, Syracuse, Ind. junior for the remainder of the season because of a broken wrist. Tom Harding, left halfbackq and No. 1 ball carrier, probably will miss tomorrow’s game because of a bad knee. James Garwood, Michigan City junior, although he has been slowed up with a “charley horse” will take over Harding's position. Richard Freuchtenicht, Ft. Wayne sophomore, is the likely starter at the left halfback with Capt. Bob Connor, quarterback, and veteran Bill Kreag at fullback to complete the backfield. Dads to Be Honored Tomorrow's battle will be observed as Dads’ and High School Seniors’ day with fathers of football players sitting along the sidelines. Approximately 4500 high school seniors are expected to attend, according to Prof. George A. Schumacher, alumni secretary.

Wabash is the only state foe|

blocking Butler's path to its sixth consecutive Indiana Collegiate Conference title. Previous loop victories by the locals have been scored over Ball State, Indiana State and DePauw. The Little Giants record shows three victories, two défeats and one tie. Their conférence record has been marred with a 0 to 0 game against Rose Poly and a 9 to 6 defeat by Earlham. , Coach Hinkle’s Bulldogs have not been defeated in conference competition since 1933 when the Wabash boys turned the trick, 12 to 0. The two ties the Little Giants have been able to register since in 1934 and 1937 are the best any’ conference team has been able to do. Two Indianapolis boys will be in the Wabash starting lineup. They are Barnes Calwell and Dave Crockett, former Shortridge High School players. Calwell, 180-pound sophomore, probably will start at. the left guard while Crockett, 160-pound junior, will start at fullback.
