Jimmy Wilson Talks Turkey About the Cubs' Hot Seat
CHICAGO, Nov. 18 (U. P.) —Jimmy Wilson, hero of the 1940 World Series, arrives today to | consider signing a contract that will make him the. manager of the [currently crumbling Chicago Cubs, fourth man in 10 years to attempt the task of keeping the erratic baseball team operating smoothly. Announcement of Wilson's appointment to fill the job left open when Leo (Gabby) Hartnett was dismissed came from James T. Gallagher, himself ~ general manager of the National League club. The appointment was part of Owner Phil K. Wrigley’s campaign to reorganize and revitalize his team. Wilson comes from Cincinnati where he served as coach and catcher-emeritus of the championship and series winning Reds. He was accompanied by Warren Giles, business manager of the Reds, who carried with him the authority to give Wilson an unconditional release if he reached an agreement with the Cubs management. Gallagher's announcement that Wilson had been offered the job was not unexpected. Hel was one of four men considered good prospects and it had been rumored that he had made tentative arrangements for the transfer when he made a surprise visit to Chicago | recently, after coming out of retirement during the World Series to flex his 44-year-old legs behind the plate as a substitute for Catcher ie Lombardi when the latter ered an ankle injury. ' The new Cubs manager will be faced with serious pribichs of attempting to rejuvenate the team for Wrigley. Among them are the giling-arm pitchers Dizzy Dean and Clay Bryant. A new catcher probe ably will be needed to replace the veteran Hartnett. And not) the least of his puzzlers will be that of trying to imbue the team [with the spirit that was lacking during the 1940 season when the Cubs finished in the second division. He follows in the footsteps of other baseball “greats” who have fallen in rapid succession since Joe McCarthy was released | in 1830. Rogers Hornsby was the first to try and lasted until 1932 when he was

Battling Cap
Snap Cleveland Victory String In Torrid Tilt
Thomas, on Utility List, Starts the Fireworks
By J. E! O'BRIEN Practice was optional today for the hockey Capitals, who in one night satisfied a deep hunger for goals, spotted the perfect record of the Cleveland Barons and put themselves back in the thick of the American League chase. . Manager Herbie Lewis figured his boys were entitled to a brief furlough after that 7-2 lacing they slapped on the Barons at the Coliseum. Tomorrow, however, everybody reports in uniform. The victory should go down as two-thirds work and one-third fun. For two periods the Caps got in there and’ pitched and established a 2-0 lead, after which they played
ring-around-the-rosy with Cleveland’s disheartened defenders.
Thomson Works Hard
One of the hardest workers during the two work periods was young Billy Thomson, identified in the Indianapolis roster as a utility man. When the season opened Thomson was the 16th man in the squad of 16 and was kept from dressing by the league player limit. Now with Carl Liscombe and Connie out of service, Billy is off the extra board and virtually racing the blades off his skates to hold the job. That's why it was so satisfying to see him drive home the first Indianapolis goal in the opening period. The attack involved threeway maneuvering between Thomson, Bill Jennings and Jud McAtee, with the latter leaving the disc at the red line. The play went as planned, with Thomson hanging the puck in the meshes and lighting the beacon. With that pleasant beginning, toothless Joe Jerwa of the Barons couldn’t convince anybody with his boast from the penalty box that “we'll win our sixth straight tonight.” Incidentally, Joe was there for tripping Bob Whitelaw. 1
Remember Alfie?
The second period was a stormy one at both ends of the ice. First the Caps pushed the attack, ganging the Baron goal and getting on Alfie Moore's nerves. Alfie, who used to yell for help from the Cap cage last season, was doing relief fr the Barons’ injured Moe Roberts. Then the picture changed. The whole mob was down on Jimmy Franks, and Jimmy and Butch MecDonald were trying to keep the gate closed to Norm Locking. Then Les Cunningham was stealing around the back and trying to get Jimmy from the side. But Jimmy was too fast for that. The Barons came back minutes later, with Don Deacon leading the pack. He and Jake Milford and Earl Bartholome punched "and poked while Buck Jones, Dick Behling and Franks whacked and fought to prevent the score. Their stand was successful. Cleveland had itself to blame for the second Capital goal near -the end of the period. Joe Fisher circled the cage for an attempted landing, fired away at some Baron coming down to protect the goal, and the puck bounced off the luckless defender smack into the net. This annoyed Alfie Moore no end. He fussed with the guy who lights the light, argued with Referee Babe Dye and even tossed his gloves and stick away just in a show of dis-
st. After that the Caps’ party began. Kilrea and Keating chased the puck into Cleveland territory and served it to Dillon, who scored. Then Eddie Bush went deep, tried (Continued on Page 15) :

By UNITED PRESS The Toronto Maple Leafs tightened their grip on first place in the National Hockey League race last night by defeating the Boston Bruins, 4-1, while the runner-up Chicago Black Hawks could do no better than a 4-4 tie with the Montreal Canadiens.
The Leafs scored one goal in the first period and three in the second to hand the Bruins their second straight setback on home ice. The Bruins have only a tie to show far the three starts. Trailing 4-1 near the end of the second period, Montreal clicked for one goal a minute before the period ended and two in the third session to gain their tie with Chicago. Detroit defeated the New York Americans 2-0 in a game dominated throughout p Red Wing rookies.

Finish Painful To Co-Champs
By UNITED PRESS Eleven members of the Indiana College conference brought their schedules to a close over the past week-end. Both co-champions, Butler and Manchester, took it on the nose for the count from out-of-state teams. Butler was downed by Toledo, 20 to 6, and Manchester lost to Western State Teachers of Kalamazoo, Mich., 19 to 14. Both of the leaders had perfect conference records for the season with four wins apiece. Rose Poly scored a 24-to-0 victory over Hanover to move into a second place tie with Evansville. The runners-up had season records of four wins and one defeat. Evansville wound up its season by losing to Georgetown, 27 to 7. In the other three conference games played during the last weekend, Wabash defeated DePauw, 17 to 13, in their annual Monon Bell classic, Indiana State beat Ball State 27 to 7, and Franklin kept its season schedule clean of victories by losing to Earlham 20 to 6.

By GEORGE KIRSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (U. P.).— Professional football fans were counting the days until Dec. 8 today for a replay of the Washington Redskins-Chicago Bears gridiron thriller. Unless there’s an upset in the script these two clubs
will meet on that date in Washington for the world’s professional
be recognized as the National Football League's top team as a result of their 7-3 triumph over the Bears yesterday before 35,331 fans, largest throng ever to see a pro game in Washington. The victory virtually clinched the eastern title for the Redskins. . With only two more games left to play and a two-game lead, the Red- | skins need only a tie or a win to clinch the title. The worst they can do is finish in a tie. To do that they’d have to lose their last two games and the Brooklyn Dodgers would have to sweep their remaining pair. Bears Sitting Pretty Although they lost to the Redskins, the Bears still hold a onegame lead in the West and seem reasonably safe with only the Cleveland Rams and Chicago Cardinals, the West's two weak sisters, remaining on the schedule. The Bears have lost three times and in two of those defeats they were within a few seconds of vic-
ry. Last week the Bears lost to the Lions in the last minute of play and yesterday they were within oneyard of victory in the last five seconds. ‘With the Redskins leading, 7-3, Bob Snyder fired a 30-yard pass to George McAfee, who pulled the ball down on the 20-yard line and ran to the 1-yard line before Dick Todd pulled him down. The Bears took time-out and drew a 5-yard penalty. ‘ Then two last ditch passes failed as the game ended. Two passes from Frank Filchock, gave Washington the winning touchdown in the second period after the Bears had set up a 3-0 lead in the opening period on Jack Manders’ field goal. Sammy Baugh completed 11 out of 17 passes for 98 yards but failed to throw any touchdown aerials. Scoring a touchdown in the first two minutes of play, the New York Giants did the Bears a good turn by beating the Green Bay Packers, 7-3, and keeping them in second place. Larry Buhler, Packers’ fullback, fumbled the opening kickoff and Leland Shaffer recovered on the Packers’ 6. Two plays lost two yards and Len Barnum passed to Shaffer in the end zone for the winning touchdown. The Packers outgained the Giants, 227 yards to 120, but were handcuffed in scoring territory.

Maybe Cornell Was Defeated
NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (U. P.)— Any further developments in the discussion on the legality of the play that gave Cornell a 7-3 victory over Dartmouth today awaited detailed reports—which will be forwarded to Asa Bushnell, executive director of the Eastern Intercollegiate Association—from the game's officials. However, Bushnell stated that whether the reports revealed that Cornell had been given five “downs” in the sequence of plays which brought about the winning touchdown Saturday, his office was given no authority under the existing regulations to change the score. As far as he was concerned the result could not be altered unless the universities themselves come to a “gentlemen’s ” agreement to declare Dartmouth the winner. The dispute began at the end of the game—which Cornell won by scoring a touchdown on the last play—when newspapermen and scouts agreed that the score was made on a fifth play. However, Cornell Coach Carl Snavely and several newspapermen said that on the regular fourth down both teams had been offside. In such a case there is no play and the count of the down remains the same. Reached by telephone last night Bushnell said he had not discussed the situation with anybody. “I hope to see pictures of the game, of course, but let me emphasize that they will have no bearing. At present I do not know if there was a double offside. The reports should determine that. I repeat, that no matter what the officials’ statements disclose, I cannot -alter the score.”

Season Records Are Out As Big Game Nears
Tradition says past performances mean less than nothing when Indiana and Purdue roll up their sleeves and get to battling for the
bucket. - That's why we confidently can predict a real football scrap at Lafayette this week in spite of the
sound Saturday spankings handed both—and also in spite of the fact that both are buried so deeply in the Big Ten standings that they will havé to be dug out. For this same reason an estimated 31,000 partisans will elbow their way into Ross-Ade Stadium, while several thousand others prome ise theyselves they'll get around to buying tickets earlier next year.
Nothing Pleasant Here
Last Saturday’s proceedings should have convinced both the Hoosiers and the Boilermakers that it will take a victory now to salvage the season. The 33-6 lacing handed Purdue by the champion Minnesota Gophers certainly was nothing to build a trophy case around, while any guy who can wax optimistic about Indiana’s 27-10 defeat by Wis= consin is the sort of person who would cheer the rising traffic toll. There wasn’t even any salve in the statistics for the Hoosiers this time. Although they battled the Badgers to a 7-7 tie in first downs, they made the grand total of eight yards in ret rushing figures and managed to complete nine of 20 forward passes for 135 yards. Purdue found itself in much the same predicament. Its 10 first downs were overshadowed by Minnesota's 13. The Boilermakers made only 10 net yards rushing and picked up 123 yards on the 13 passes come pleted out of 32 attempted.
Maybe They Just Forgot
We're not cynical enough to be lieve that Purdue an® Indiana didn’t give their all for alma mammy last Saturday just so they could be poised and prepared with full crews for the coming shindig. But . it's quite possible that the lads unconsciously pointed themselves for the Bucket brawl with the resulting massacres. a Of course, neither can expect to get anywhere against the other if last Saturday’s miscues and mis~ takes are repeated. George Paskvan's one-way excure sions in the first period that gave Wisconsin its first touchdown could have been excused. But the same can not be said for the three Wisconsin banged home in the second session—two fumbles setting up the first, another bobble the second and some questionable play-calling bringing about the third.
Purdue’s Tackling Spotty
After Gopher George Franck had gone for ihe goal with the opening kickoff, Purdue was never the same. Poor tackling and ineffective de« fense tactics spoiled what chances the Boilermakers had of spilling the galloping Gophers. The Boilermakers did get rolling in the fourth quarter against an assortment.of Minnesota substitutes, and with John Petty and John Galvin showing the way, grabbed off six points. But this was nullified in the waning seconds by the theft of a forward pass by a weighty tackle named Jim Lushine, who
romped. 15 yards for Minnesota's final touchdown.
