Giants and Bears Each Place 3 Men on U. P. All-Pro Team

SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

IF THE ice hockey leaguers fashioned their league standings like baseball the over-all International-American figures would show the Indianapolis Hoosiers with a percentage of .643 to an even .600 for Providence, the difference of a half game. In the hockey point system in which defeats don’t count in the standings Indianapolis is ahead 21 to 20, based on two points for a win, one for a tie. This department would be happy if football prediction averages followed the hockey rule—1.000 per cent a week, 1.000 per cent a season. , . . The Promised Land for the grid experts!

MOE ROBERTS, Cleveland goalie who will be here tonight %% battle Herbie Lewis’ six at the Coliseum rink, supplied the individual playoff feat last winter. , . . The veteran scored four shutouts in the Barons’ nine playoff games and missed a fifth by a matter of three seconds. ‘ In the last twe games of the championship series with Philadelphia Roberts let nary a puck get past him in 120 minutes of play, and this against the team that had set a league scoring record during the regular season. Prior to that Goalie Roberts scored successive shutouts against Springfield to send the Barons to the playoff semi-finals.

Colonel Bradley Says Derby Is in Bag

E. R. BRADLEY, ve olde Kentucky Colonel who has sent four winners to the Derby, celebrated his 80th birthday recently and took time out to throw a scare into the nation’s other horsemen, With a twinkle in his eye, Bradley dictated the following birthday prediction to close friends: “We are going to run one, two, three in Col. Matt Winn's race next May. Bimelech will be first, Bashful Duck second, and Bold and Bad third. And we might have another to go in the big race and he will finish fourth.” Well, at any rate, the winter book price on Bimelech has dropped tod tol. » 5 » . » » » THERE HAVE BEEN some powerful winter book favorites, but no Derby choice ever shaped up more attractively than Bimelech, considered one of the best horses ever bred by the elderly master of Idle Hour Farm. But there is one big hitch to Bimelech’s chances of annexing the Derby. . . . It is the weather. . . . Bradley doesn’t fear any horse, but he will be concerned about track conditions when the time rolls around. While the brilliant son of Black Toney-La Trioenne was undefeated in six starts this year he never ran over a muddy track. » = ” on » »

IT IS significent that Bimelech was scratched out of the Arlington Futurity and the New England Futurity becatse of “off” tracks—an admission that he is strictly a fast track horse, Bradley did want to run him in the Champagne Stakes at Belmont, wet or dry, to find out whether he could negotiate the ‘‘g00,”

sional team. Before you think you can name & better club, remember you'll have to have a passer who completes every other pass thrown, a fullback who whacks off 59 yards a crack. A pair of halfbacks good for nearly four yards every time they start out on a journey, a punter who averages over 40 yards, and end who requires two men to cover him, a guard who can run as fast as a halfback. That just gives you an idea.

Does Just About Everything

The all-pro backfield is made up of Parker Hall, Cleveland; Tuffy Leemans, New York; Andy Farkas, Washington, and Bill Osmanski, Chicago Bears. It can do everything but knit and take care of the baby. Hall, & rookie from the U.of Mississippi, is the league's No. 1 player of the year. He can pass, run and kick and that’s putting it mildiy.

Fast Track Prevailed for 37 Runnings

In the 65 renewals of the Derby, it is interesting to note a fast track prevailed for 37 runnings. . . . Will it be fast next spring? . . . That's the question uppermost in the mind of Bradley, who otherwise visions even at this time another conquest in the greatest turf spectacle of the American turf But if it comes up mud—what then? Will Bimelech run in the Derby, anyway, and will he prove just as invincible in it as he has proved himself to be on a pasteboard strip? One thing is certain, Bimelech will dominate the winter book Derby betting. . . . And should he roll home triumphant ih the rich event he will break a long-standing jinx and become the first Belmont Futurity winner ever to capture the Derby. » ” on » ” ®

UNTIL MONDAY Notre Dame footballers steered clear of naming a backfield man team captain . As a matter of fact 1926 was the last time a ball toter received the coveted honor. . . , Then Milten (We The) Piepul came along and the battering ram fullback will lead the Irish into battle next fall. The new captain led the 1939 team in points by making six of Notre Dame's 14 touchdowns. . . . He led in attempts in rushing with 84 and in total yardage with 427 yards, averaging five per ‘carry. . . . Piepul also is no slouch as & punter and is a sort of handy man in the backfield. = » ” LJ » » PIEPUL SCORED one of Notre Dame's touchdowns against South ern California and it was a beauty. . . . He caught the Trojans unawares, received good blocking and scooted over the goal line standing up. : An Notre Dame opponents were lavish in their estimate of Piepul's ability. . . . He's good at wide running as well as plunging, & smart faker and tight on defense. . . , The Irish eleven’s new leader is a junior and hails from Thompsonville, Conn.

The two guards are Dan Fortmann, Chicago Bears, a holdover from last year's team, and John] Wiethe, Detroit, a newcomer, Both are speedy and aggressive and stars | at leading interference and crash-| ing through to break up plays, | Joe Stydahar, Chicago Bears, again was the league's best tackle.
