SHINNY on your own side! . . . The curtain goes up tonight on Indianapolis’ second professional ice hockey season when the local Capitals play an exhibition with the Detroit Red Wings of the National League, the sport’s major loop. | The aos Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairground is all sp ced up for the occasion, the ice is firm,

the surface clear; in other words, track fast. What the well-dressed ice hockey player should wear will be modeled by veterans and youngsters on both. teams. . . . It’s true ‘that Indianapolis is & Detroit “farm” in the ice game but that doesn’t mean the Capitals will dress like agrarians. . . . “They are tillers of the ice no less, and in the American League which is the sport's top minor circuit. | y = Indianapolis sport goers and others out in the State took to hockey in a big way last winter after they caught on to the maneuvers and infricacies of blocking, passing, stick work, trick work and penalties. Indianapolis is in the middle of the Detroit hockey chain, with , the Wings No. 1, Capitals No. 2 and Omaha of the American Association No. 3. ... Furthermore, the Wings are in close touch with teams in amateur leagues and the chain is sure to grow stronger as the years go by . 4 + + a situation that puts Indianapolis in a choice spot.

. Buckeye Grid Scribe Fears Hoosiers .

WRITING IN the Ohio State Journal, Earl Flora discusses the upcoming Indiana at Ohio State grid battle and says, in part: “What will happen to the Bucks when Indiana breezes into the Ohio Stadium Saturday would be hard to predict. . , . Since there’s no use crying over spilled milk we may as well start crying over some more milk that’s likely to be spilled. “One talk to Fritz Mackey, Ohio scout, who has been watching Indiana in action, will convince everyone that the Bucks’ losing habit may become perpetual. . « . The Hoosiers eat nails for breakfast with liquid fire as a chaser.

8 8 p 8 = =»

“SCOUT MACKEY is worried plenty about the Hoosiers’ passing attack. . . . In the first, second and third place, Hurling Hal Hursh - will once again bring his good arm down from Bloomington. . .. At any rate the Bucks don’t have what a person could call a good pass defense. . . . Purdue, Northwestern and Cornell passed them dizzy. “The only trouble those three elevens had in completing passes against the Bucks was determining which one of the open receivers deserved the six points. . .

Zimmer Rated Another I. U. Threat

“Red Zimmer will line up with Hursh in the backfield as another I. U. threat. . . . Zimmer is the Same gent who was sent in as a substitute against Iowa with instructions to quick kick on the next play. . . . But Zimmer. .was not allowed to talk on the first play under football rulings and Hursh called Zimmer's number for an end sweep. . . . Zimmer swept up 56-yard stripes for a touchdown. “While the Indiana line isn’t much stronger than its losing scores indicate, it may not have muéh difficulty maneuvering with an Ohio State liné that has buckled, bent and deflated every game.”

8 = 8 2 #9 ROBERT A. COOK, Indiana University’s sports publicity pur veyor, says that his “00k” on the Indiana-Northwestern game statistics shows the Hoosiers gained 205 yards by rushing to 115 by the Wildcats. . . . Also, Indiana gained 97 yards by passing to 75 by Northwestern. S : Other sources differed on the amount of yardage reeled off in rushing and passing by both teams. i 8 #2 8 8 8 = ON a point basis, Rex Mays heads the 1940 race drivers and will be entitled to etch No. 1 on his auto speed chariot next year. . . .

Nebraska Fans Say Huskers Won't Lose Another Game

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 29 (U. P.).—The University of Nebraska football team, hard perenial of the Big Six Conference, is back in stride this year, and its fond followers at Lincoln are predicting a clean sweep in the remaining games. The fans had an: idea the Cornhuskers were really good even when they dropped the season's opener to’ mighty Minnesota, and today after watching them romp past Indiana, Kansas and Missouri they are sure their first ideas were right. Coach Lawrence (Biff) Jones naturally isn’t so optimistic, being a normal coach, but the disappointment he suffered because of the Minnesota defeat has been eased by the fine game his team has played since. The Biffer always had longed for an undefeated team. This season he thought he might have the answer ‘but when tHe Gophers barred

the door on that one he {began con=centrating on the conference title,

‘Huskers Meet Oklahoma has been eased.

Biff Jones . . . the pain of defeat

The Kansas game didn’t give the nimble Nébraskans anything but exercise and experience, but getting past Missouri, 20 to 7, was something else, for the Tigers were the defending champions and their pass-throwing Paul Christman had twice beaten the Huskers, This Saturday they play Oklahoma at Norman in the game that may decide the title. The Sooners are pretty tough in their own right, theyll be playing before a home crowd and then will be trying to even up for last year’s game, when the ungerdog Nebraskans peat them. Tom Stidham, the ‘Oklahoma coach, has been pointing his team for the Nebraska game but the Nepraskans rate the favorite’s role and the betting is that! they will top the conference again after their - lapse. I fine material in both the line and the backfield. In the _ latter department Herman Rohrig probably comes first/\He played only five minutes Saturday, but in that time he completed two passes, one

Bids Issued for

Harrier Meet

Plans for the first annual Central Indiana Invitational Cross-Country Meet to be held Nov. 9 at Butler University were launched today as high school coaches all over the state received invitations. A committee of city and county coaches last night mapped final arrangements at Southport High School, which will sponsor the first state-wide meet. : . City and county schools will rotate as sponsors, Doyal = Plunkitt, Southport coach said. The* meet, to be held over the Butler two-mile course, will replace a state-wide meet formerly held at Ft. Wayne, Mr. Plunkitt said. A $2 entry fee will be charged to cover costs of 15 individual medals and first and second place team trophies. Schools may enter a team or individual runners. Entry deadline is noon, Friday, Nov. 8. Other coaches on the committee in charge are Mordecai Lee of Broad Ripple, Raymond Van Arsdale, Manual Training, and George Farkas, Howe High School. !

Position Put

On the Block

Anybody Welcome to Play, Says Hinkle

Are you tough? Can you tackle? If so, and you want to be an All-American to get along with the beautiful girls, apply to Tony Hinkle, football coach

at Butler University. Excluding the reissuance of uniforms, the football season virtually has begun anew at Butler. Hinkle has announced that bench players have an opportunity Saturday to start in the home-coming contest against DePauw University in the Bowl. > And with this “new” season beginning, a new candidate has re-

ster City, Iowa, senior whose only college tootball experience has been the intramural tag type. Ostlund participated in yesterday’s until-dark-scrimmage as a halfback.

‘Thought I Could Help’

Ostlund, who did play some high school football, said, “There are oniy three games left to play this year and there is. a shortage of backfield men. I thought I could help.” _ Hinkle asked him if he could pass. Ostlund said yes. As a result, the senior was .given an hour and 15 minutes drill and spent a good part of last night walking off stiffness. The Bulldogs have been bumped three times this season, the most recent being last Saturday's 27 to 19 affair with Washington University at St. Louis. Hinkle described the Washington game as a “nightmare.” wi No Set-Up

The Butler mentor warned his gridders yesterday thay DePauw will not be an easy prey and that Saturday’s starting lineup will be based upon individual performances this week, The shock troops were sent against the rhinies yesterday and were told to score “if it took all night.” ‘They did not. The freshmen this year have won over DePauw, 39 to 0, and Wabash, 6 to 0. Meanwhile in the DePauw camp, Coach Gaumy Neal is grinding morale into his Tigers who were trumped by Evansville’s Purple Aces, 14 to 12, last Saturday. It was DePauw’s first conference loss of the season and dropped them from first place, now being shared by Butler and Manchester. The campus cry at DePauw is, “Beat Butler and all is forgiven.” During the 25 games played by the two schools, since 1888, Butler~has won 12 and lost nine, four games being tied. DePauw won its ast Butler game in 1926, 21 to 10. From 1929 until 1937 * athletic ‘relations were severed between the two .schools. 2

New War Perils Backfield Ties

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29 U. P)—War between Greece and Italy caught Coach Red Strader: of St. Mary’s College right between the eyes today. Gus Mare=fos, father of the fullback Andy Marefos, voted the outstanding player in the St. Mary’s-Fordham game, was quoted as having put his foot down and demanded that Andy play no more with Tony Compagno, halfback. Andy .is Greek and Tony is Italian.

Glenn Paired With Paul in 4-Rounder

Semi-windup action on the weekly amateur boxing card to be staged Friday night at the Armory will pit Raymond Glenn, popular 125-pounder, against Earl Paul Rhodius Community Center favorite, over the four-round route. Paul has been a crowd pleaser since his first appearance here early this summer at Sports Arena, and is rated one of the most aggressive boys in local featherweight circles. Glenn is a fair boxer who packs a murderous wallop in either hand. The feature five round scrap will bring together Buddy Jones, Leeper A. C. slugger, and James Sheron, 135-pound boxing master.

Purdue Lines Sights on fowa

Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 29.—Purdue’s football youngsters, nosed out in the final 19 seconds by Ohio State and in the last six seconds by Wisconsin, are grooming for a supreme effort to break into the conference victory column against Iowa a# Iowa City Saturday in a game that will provide the home-coming attraction for the Hawkeyes. Victims of a field goal kicked by an ineligible player in the Buckeye mixup and a “story book” finish by an almost completely out-played Badger eleven, the Boilermakers are naturally disappointed as far as their present status in conference circles is concerned, but more determined than downcast in looking forward to the stretch drive against Iowa, Fordham, Minnesota and Indiana in order. Against Wisconsin, the Boilermakers displayed a running attack that averaged five yards a crack on scrimmage plays, and Coach Mal Elward was particularly pleased with the performance of a number of sophomores, including Marion (Red) Carter of Indianapolis, and Paul Anderson, halfbacks, and Fred Smerke, quarterback, whose all-around play was outstanding. In all probability, the Boilermakers will be in better physical condition for the Hawkeye encounter than they were against the Badgers. Mike Byelene, veteran right halfback, may be able to rejoin the squad this week in time to get in shape for at least some action, while Bill Combs, sturdy right end, who was handicapped by a nose injury, is expected to be back to r Po The Boilermakers will have three days of drill before leaving for Iowa City on Thursday evening. The squad will stay overnight in Chicago and then continue to Davenport Friday morning.

Yale Plays Loyola

CHICAGO, Oct. 29 (NEA).—Yale has been scheduled as the basketball opponent of Loyola in a doubleheader program at the Chicago Coliseum, Dec. 27. .

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—The 1940 racing season draws to a close in all but a few out-lying precincts this week and unless a few pressing matters are settled in Pimlico’s Special and Futurity the year will end without having produced a standout thoroughbred in any championship division. : The situation is unique. Ohio tracks stop running on Thursday and plants in Kentucky, Illinois, New York and New England will fold up shop in Saturday. The only meetings still on the schedule are late fall runs in Maryland and West Virginia and the winter sessions in California and Florida—yet there is no sign of a true title-holder of any

age. The Pimlico fixtures may solve two or even three of the riddles. On Friday Alfred Vanderbilt will present his newest version of the Special, in which W. L. Brann’s Challedon, a 4-year-old; Myron Sleznick’s Can’t Wait, a 5-year-old; and C. S. Howard’s Mioland, a 3-year-old, will meet to settle a pure-

Probe Reported ‘Horse’ F ixing

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 29 (U. P.). —Officials of the River Downs track today investigated reported “fixing” of horses after track veterinarian M. J. Sierveld examined two horses and said sponges had been inserted in their noses. The examination was made following the fifth race yesterday. A favorite, Odessas Pride at 11-5, and also Caravel at 6-1 finished out of the money and Belle Elan at 10-1 won the race. Track stewards

started the investigation. Odessas Pride dropped from second to fifth place before entering the stretch and Caravel trailed in sixth place. Mutual manager George Lewis said two other horses, Whistling Dick and Seneschal, also had been tampered with. He said, however, that a check with a dozen cities showed that there was little bettin

Only Pimlico Events Are Left To Produce Turf Standouts

ly theoretical titl: of “horse of the year.” The mile and 2-16 event to be run at weight for age actually won't determine anything nearly so important, hut it will provide a bundle of clues as to the true abilities of the three performers. A smashing triumph for Miolind would give the Oregon-bred colt first claim to the 3-year-old crown and more than overcome the early season advantage held by Iimelech. The Futurity similarly. should unravel the tangled 2-year-olds. The juvenile title was prematurely awarded Our Boots after the Futurity at Belmont and the youngster promptly bowed to Whirlaway at Keeneland. In the Pimlico event these two will mezsure strides with Monday Lunch, Bold Irishman, Bryan Station and several other late comers with g flair for running a distance. A triumph for either top contender would win the crown.

Seven in Ten

EVANSTON, Oct. 29 (NEA), —Why Northwestern moaned because a sprained ankle kept Bill deCorrevont out of the Indiana game is made ‘clear by a tabulation of the ‘Chicago boy’s passing. In three games, the Austin High School product was called on 10 pass plays. Seven times he completed passes, once Ike Kepford "dropped a long one and on the other two occasions deCorrevont kept the ball and ran with it for a total of 58 yards.
