Osborne, who never has scaled above 105 pounds, gave away 10 to 15 pounds to all comers in the 118pound division and went on to capture the Golden Gloves bantamweight title here in 1937. After a year of ring inactivity, Osborne came back in 1939 and 1940 to repeat in the 118-pound class at Evansville, and represented that city at Chicago. In another thiee-rounder Sam Haslett, English Avenue Boys’ Club, will swap punches with Bobbie Roberts of Ft. Harrison.

Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 22— Coach Mal Elward of Purdue centered his attention today on sophomore candidates for Mike Byelene’s halfback post in the Boilermaker backfield. i Byelene, nursing a cracked wrist, definitely is out of the Wisconsin game here Saturday, physician announced. Either Tony Berto or Paul Anderson, a pair of first-year men, is expected to fill in for Byelene.

Cracked That Second Line
By STEVE SNIDER
CHICAGO, Oct. 22 (U. P.) .—If these were the days in which 11 men composed. a football team, Notre Dame would stand alone as the number
one team of the nation.
Man for man, the first 11 men Elmer Layden can field probably will
excel any group now assembled at any one school.
The line is fast, agile,
alert and tough. The backfield has everything, including a master strategist of the Harry Stuhldreher-Frank Carideo type, a sprint champion, and the most versatile fullback of the year. These are the men who may carry Notre Dame to an undefeated season, since, as often happens when the Irish come up with great prospects,
their schedule has softened up.
Among ali this pleasant news, however, is cause for worry. In three
comparatively easy conquests, Notre troubles.
Dame replacements have had their
Even against crippled, disspirited, de-emphasized Carnegie
Tech, Notre Dame’s second string line permitted an offensive drive at a time when the first stringers had Carnegie so groggy it could hardly
move.
Carnegie and from that assortment of reserves Layden hopes to find the stuff to carry him past Illinois, Navy, Army, Iowa, Northwestern and Southern California. ; While Notre Dame was rolling onward last week, Michigan, Minnesota and Northwestern continued their slow process of tying up the Big Ten title. They all are undefeated and they’ll have to meet before the last Saturday of November. Michigan’s 28 to-0 revenge triumph over Illinois set the stage for a duel of the nation’s greatest backs as of this moment—Tommy Harmon and Francis Reagan of Pennsylvania. Harmon was the big show in their last meeting and he should be again. Coach Fritz Crisler has developed Michigan’s downfield blocking to an amazing degree to give Harmon all the breaks he can. The shifty Gary, Ind., flash doesn’t need much. In the clutch, it’s Minnesota. Bernie Bierman is famous for developing the “killer instinct” and that’s just what this Minnesota team has. For instance, against Ohio State they had two scoring breaks and cashed them both. Ohio State, lackjing the same instinct, marched all .over the lot and lost 13 to 7. ’ This week, Minpesota tangles with another fallen favorite, Iowa, which ‘ost to Indiana, 10 to 6. Ohio State twice defeated, invades Cornell for the game the Bucks have red-let-tered as the game of the year. Cornell was the first to defeat Ohio’s champions last year. The tables are reversed, now, with Cornell as a leading contender for the one Saturday on which they can put to use ali their potential power. Northwestern’s rise to power has been considered lightly although the Wildcats now lead the Big Ten with two victories. Michigan and Minnesota have one each. If, however, Northwestern defeats Indiana’s rebounding Hoosiers, it will rate on a par with the two favorites and make its games with Minnesota and Michigan next month the payoff days of the Conference campaign.
The experience may benefit the Irish. They paraded 67 men against

Zuppke’s Boys Whet Ax For Notre Dame
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 22... Twenty-seven major unbeaten football teams in the country today face a horde of glorye hungry snipers during the re mainder of the season, a study of the schedule reveals. Only a few of the 11 Easte ern, five Southern, five Mid western, four Southwestern and two Pacific Coast teams with unbeaten records have more than a 50-50 chance of coming through an exceptions ally tough second-half program unscathed. Of these 27 teams, five already have sufe
2 fered ties.
Irish Capt. Milt Piepul.
Varini of St. Joseph's Still Leads the Pack in Scoring
By UNITED PRESS Despite the rapid climb of several aces of the Notre Dame scoring juggernaut, Pete Varini, St. Joseph's sophomore fullback, chalked up two touchdowns Saturday against Louisville to lead the Pumas to a conference victory and nold the individual lead for Indiana college football players. > Varini’s 12 points raised his season total to 42 for four games. He was overshadowed in individual etforts for the day, however, by Crimmins of Notre Dame who registered 18 points against Carnegie Tech, Piepul of Notre Dame, who counted 15, Lee of Notre Dame with 14, and his own teammate, Golay, with 13. Crimmins’ three touchdowns carried him out of the scoring ruck into ‘a tie for third place with Metzelaars of Butler who scored one touchdown against Wabash. Each had a total of 24 points. Juzwik of Notre Dame scored only once against the Tartans, but the six points raised his total to 25 and gave him second place in the state scoring race. Piepul held down fifth place with 23 points. Piepul, incidentally, kicked three points atter touchdown Saturday to run his season total in that department to five, more than any other Hoosier player.
Petty; Purdue’s first-string full-|.
back, was idle Saturday but his 19-point total was good enough to hold him in sixth place. Snider of De Pauw failed to score against Ohio Wesleyan, but remained in a
tie for seventh place with 18 points with F. Mueller of Valparaiso and Benefiel of De Pauw. Mueller and Benefiel scored one. touchdown each over the week-end.
Swager of Butler was In undisputed 10th place with 15 points although he failed to count Saturday. William of Hanover, Lee of Notre Dame and Brandon of Manchester were deadlocked at 14 points each. Lee made all his points Saturday while Brandon made 7 counters. Williams failed tc increase his total. Golay of St. Joseph’s, who made all his points in Saturday’s single game, was tied with Pitts of Indiana State, who scored a touchdown and a point after touchdown Saturday, at 13 points each.
Fourteen Hoosier players had 12 points each. They were Butlington of Purdue, Zimmer of Indiana, Brown, Higgins, Gregg and Biggs of De Pauw, Boalbey of Central Normal, Dowd and Gray of Wabash, Phelps of Earlham, Crawford of Butler, Cooper of Indiana State, Duvall of Evansville and Eggers of Valparaiso. Of these Zimmer, Crawford, Gray, Gregg, Cooper, Duvall, Eggers and Biggs each scored six points Saturday while the others failed to count. ’
Two City Grid Games Carded
The up-and-coming football Continentals of Washington will make their first bid for city honors tomorrow when they take on Shortridge at the Washington field. The city series encounter is scheduled for 2:30 p. m. Also on tomorrow’s midweek schedule is the intracity engagement between Broad Ripple and Manual at Delavan Smith Field. It appears that both Washington and Shortridge are going to depend on passes for much of their groundgaining. Coach Bob Nipper yesterday ran his Shortridge Blue Devils through a vigorous aerial session, while at Washington Coach Henry Bogue sharpened the same weapon. Two Redskin regulars likely will be out of the game with Broad Ripple. Wilbert Allanson, running and kicking halfback, still is slowed by a hip injury, while Paul Brandies, quarterback, has been declared ineligible because of classroom difficulties. Charles Sanders is expected to replace -Allanson, with end Charles Morical doing the Manual punting. % Wally Day is a likely starter instead of Ted Westervelt in the Broad Ripple line. Westervelt is bothered with a knee injury.
The East still boasts these 11 clubs, both undefeated and untied: Cornell, Pennsylvania, Fordham, Boston College, Georgetown, Rute gers, Lafayette, Columbia, Navy, Penn State and Franklin and Mare shall. Shining targets of the Middle= western underdogs are Notre Dame, Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota and Detroit. None of these have been beaten or tied. In the South, Tennessee, Missis= sippi and Clemson are the last three perfect record clubs while Mississipe pi State and Kentucky are unbeaten but tied. In the Southwestern scramble, only Texas Aggies, defending cone ference champions, and University of Texas remain with perfect rec= ords. S. M. U. and Texas Tech are unbeaten but both have one deade lock against them. Stanford boasts the single une blemished record on the Pacific Coast and Southern California, the other unbeaten club, has been held/ to two ties.
Conn Climbs Another Step
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— Billy Conn, world's light heavy« weight champion who is working his way through the heavyweight
ranks to a shot at champion Joe Louis, will fight Lee Savold of Des Moines, Iowa, in a 15-round none title bout at Madison Square Gare den, Nov. 29. Promoter Mike Jacobs announced the match late yesterday and said that the winner would probably get a shot at Jack Dempsey’s protege, Red Burman, ‘as the next step toward Louis. Savold has won his last eight bouts, seven by knockouts while | Conn, in his four previous heavyweight fights, knocked out Gus Dorazio and Bob Pastor and out= pointed Henry Cooper and Al Mc« Coy. >
