ior college grid games thin out this week and the| experts probably will be jolted again in their predictions as
traditonal foes ring down the
enough surprises to wreck team ratings in wholesale lots and the turnover on form|. go-around may be just as|'§ startling. The picking field is studded with ~ tossup clashes. Thin ice just about describes the eR for the prognosticators in sections of the nation where the rivals battle for blood as they shoot the works in final

The two big games in the Hoosier State| serve as ‘examples of the tough gaing for professional or hatpin pickers.

Caps to Show How It’s Done
Crowd Will Be Instructed On Hockey Before Game.
The Indianapolis. Capitals, a hockey team on the up beat, are to meet the New Haven Eagles at the Coliseum tomorrow night, and the
| Caps are to do a little crowd in-
structing in addition to their regular ice duties. Possibly this game will have a
‘| bearing on the leadership of the
Western Division of the Interna-tional-American League. The Capitals now head the parade in this division and are two points in front of the Cleveland Barons. However, the New Haven ‘club plays at Cleveland tpnight, and if Cleveland’s Barons win this one they will pull up to a tie with the} Capitals. That will put the pressure on Herbie Lewis’ boys to down the
| Eagles here tomorrow night to keep
up at the head of the pack.
Demonstrate Rules The game is to start at 8:30, but 15 a before ‘the match, Lewis and members of the Capitals team
{are to give a demonstration of vari-
ous rules of play for the instruction of local customers who are getting their first glimpses of the ice game this season. The New Haven Eagles reportedly have a well-balanced team. Wilfred Cude, their goalie, is reportedly one of the best men in the circuit at this
* | position. He formerly was with De-
troit and Montreal in the National League, and at Detroit was a teammate of Lewis’ for a time. Allen Shields is a strong defense man, while the two forwards, Brydson and Summerhill, are scoring threats. But if it seems like a coincidence that Lewis is to play against a former teammate, a bigger sensation is is store for the Capitals’ manager this week-end when the Caps play a home-and-home series with Pitts burgh.
- Teammates 10 Years The coach of the Pittsburgh Hor-
nets is Larry Aurle, a teammate of
Herbie’s for 10 years at Detroit. Aurie was the right er and Lewis the left winger, and between the two of them they ig out four centers who played in line. These centers, George Hay, Ebbie Goodfellow, Cooney Wieland and Marty Barry; were about as good as any in the business, too. Barry played with Lewis and Aurie when the Red Wings copped the national championship in 1936 and ’37. In the Pittsburgh series the Caps will be out for revenge, for the Hornets are the only league team that has beaten them. That was earlier
'|in the season and Lewis wasn't in
the lineup then. The Hornets and the Caps are to clash at Pittsburgh Saturday and then meet again in the local Coliseum Sunday night.

Our Mr. Ochiltree Decides
He Will Buy * By TOM OCHILTREE I've about come to the conclusion that you'll save money getting the makings for your. Thanksgiving dinner at the grocery, or maybe going down to Joe's - tables-for-ladies hamburger hutch. This business of hunting it for yourself is fun all right, but it doesn't seem very practical. True, my survey was as brief as a general’s answer. But I was willing— I had tobe. It was the boss’ idea that I go into the field and bag some game, and when he gets one like that it takes ether to get it out of him, The facts now have to be faced, through. As a nimrod, I'm a bust, or maybe more so. I don't believe I could hit a living room ceiling with a handful of puffed rice.
Noticed ’Em in Windows
However, this wasn’t a complete surprise to me, because my previous experience with shotguns had been limited to looking at them in sporting goods store windows. Quite naturally I wanted some fine coaching. That is exactly what I received, too, because I imposed upon the good nature of C. R. (Pink) Gutermuth, education director of the State Conservation Department, and H. F. Mosbaugh, department education bureau field representative. : We walked around a few flelds and got our feet wet. On my own initiative I fired at something. It turned out to be about the most nonchalant cat I ever saw. And I Jas stl a5 goodies How after I shot.
Skeet Easy? Try It!
By now our walking had taken|pe
us suspiciously close to the Capitol City Gun Club, but I didn't .let on.. It was Pink who suggested that I try my hand at a little skeet shooting. They had me stand at the eas-
|iest station where the clay birds
come out of the trap right beside you. This seemed more like it. I had been in shooting galleries before, and this looked as easy as a straight-in set-up for the corner pocket. When I shot there was a feeble “pop,” and I almost fell on my face. Figuring the gun would have a recoil, I had set myself and been fooled just” the way a batter is when he waits for a fast ball and He pitcher gives him a’ ae 2 swing at. Actually, I fired a 16-gauge shell in a 13-gauge gun. Again Mosbaugh loaded the gun, and this time—‘WHAM"—it really let go. I broke the disc and thought
I could hear the shot Taling ¢ a

building & mile away, It turned out
that this was a duck load shell, one of the heavy-charge kind. Now Mosbaugh was just pulling these shells out of his pocket, and he claimed this was just a happen50, but the more I think about it the more I'm beginning to wonder. They both were pretty hearty with ‘their laughter. With the right kind of ammunition, I did all right from that easy station, but from other spots I had trouble, I was either over leading or under leading, or both. We went into the club then, and I discovered that gun prices range all the way from $6 to $3000, and that to be turned out properly you need a hunting suit at $15, a $2 cap, a $4.50 shell vest, two pair of boots totaling $15 or up,” a gun case and cleaning equipment for $6, wool underwear for. $3 and about $3 worth of wool sox. ;
Where Indiana Is Ahead
Also, that the State Conservation Department is way ahead of any other state in its propagation program . . . that residents pay $1.50 for a fishing, hunting and trapping license, while non-Hoosiers pay $1550 . . . that all of that money is used for the protection and propagation of wild life . . . and that Indiana’s wild life conservation program is carried on without dipping into the funds raised by taxes. Both my friends agreed that half the fun of hunting is. owning a good bird dog and watching it work. I don’t doubt it either. But this piece will have to end on a melancholy note. Already I'm afraid my Thanksgiving order will

Wally Dusek, 229-pound grappler from Omaha, Neb. was under suspension today as the result of his “ungentlemanly cone duct” after his match at the Are mory last night with Everett Marshall, 223, La Junta, Colo. Sam Murbarger, State athletic commissioner, suspended Dusek after the wrestler had kicked
