SPORTS... By Eddie Ash

THE DAY before the Big Game and both sides thirsting to enjoy a victory gulp out of the Old Oaken Bucket. ve Lafayette is seething, Bloomington is seething. ... Purdue alumni are on needles and pins. . . . Indiana alumni

are suffering the same punishment.

The students are in their best voice and itching to cut loose when their yell leaders signal “Let ’Er Go!” . . .’The bandsmen are dressed in spiffy fashion and ready to climax the season with an eye-filling performance, | > 3 The Battle of Bands is a part of the Hoosier Classic and the Crimson and Boilermaker tooters are prepared to turn it on tomorTow to end all Battles of Bands. The grid warriors are at the end of the trail and legalized mayhem will begin at the kickoff. . . . Indiana is a.slight favorite according to the so-called football “systems” that issue ratings on a percentage basis. . . . And the pool operators are giving the Hoosiers a three-point edge. . The rivalry between Indiana and Purdue is only bitter in the sense that each school is more eager to win this contest than any other on its slate. There is no frenzied bitterness between the cleat wearers or between the rah, rah student bodies and after 60 minutes of give-until-it-hurts on the field the rival sides call it a season and leave the battleground exchanging cheerios. . . . Until the next year.

Mentioning a Few Late Upsets

JUST A couple of weeks ago Richmond knocked off North Carolina U. in one lot the season’s huge surprises. . . . Yesterday little William and Mary trounced Richmond. .. . Who goes there? . Well, Maryland, for one . .. by taking care of Rutgers. . . .. Where's that guy who said he'd die for Dear Old Rutgers? . . . Probably filled up on turkey and didn’t show up. : Upsets here and there yesterday—just a warning to the experts to don their steel nelmets for this week-end. . . . The Battle of Denver ender in a 3-3 draw. . . . Our choice was Colorado. If ever a team needs to win one, it’s Illinois. . . . Which makes it tough on Iowa... . And the 1llini made it plenty hard for Ohio State to skim through last week.

ON NOV. 28 Columbia and Brown close their 1940 grid season, and in 1941, in [the first game for both, they meet again. . . . It is seldom college elevens meet in successive games. Auburn ahd Georgia have met in football 45 times—an old Southern rivalry—and the record shows 20 victories each and five ties. . . . Tie that one if you can. The Harvard-Pénnsylvania rivalry dates back to 1881 and during that long stretch the teams have played one deadlock. . . . It was this fall's 10-10 tie and it upset the pool investors. . .. Penn looked like a cinch to win with points to spare.

East Recalls Spears’ 1931 Visit

THE LAST TIME Clarence (Fat) Spears journeyed East was in 1931, when he coached an Oregon team which knocked undefeated New York University overboard. . . . On the trip East, Spears discarded all his entire formations—so thoroughly scouted by N. Y. U.

—fashioned an [entirely new offense and upset the Violets, who thought they were headed for a Rose Bowl bid. Tomorrow Spears will pit his Toledo University eleven against Long Island University at Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn. . . . The Rockets, who trounced Butler here last Saturday, are picked to win. Spears, an [old Dartmouth guard, made Walter Camp's AllAmerica team in 1915. . .. He has coached Dartmouth, West Virginia, Northwestern, Oregon and Wisconsin.

THE Stanford at California game, originally scheduled to be played tomorrow, is to be staged on Nov. 39. . . . Spalding’s Guide carried it for Nov. 23. . . . Both teams are idle this week. Stanford is undefeated and untied, California is steadily improv= ing and probably will be a tough hurdle for the amazing Indians a week from tomorrow. California has won four and lost four. . .. Stanford has won eight.

Old Oaken Buck

Layden Says N. D. Will Win

By ELMER LAYDEN |

We might dedicate this week-end; to the philosophy of eternal vigilance. Our word of advice to the still undefeated, untied teams of the nation is—remember how you got that way. Don’t relax. Texas Aggies and Stanford both find themselves at liberty this week. Both have played tough schedules. The Aggies have developed steadily since squeezing by U.C, L.A. early, 7-0. Stanford has undisputed first place on the Coast, and the Rose| Bowl bid, even if beaten a week hence by California. Texas Aggies are already being measured for the Rose Bowl. It might have been a good idea for these probable Jan. 1 opponents to skip practice this week and read what happened to undefeated teams that got cocky, instead of practicing and possibly reading clippings about themselves this week and next.

Elmer Layden :

Warns Minnesota

Minnesota, not a bowl prospect, has come through undefeated the hard way, winning three games by a touchdown, and two by an extra point. So the Gophers should enter their Wisconsin game with the proper humility. The Badgers have scored in every game and they've never been easy for Minnesota. The

Boston College saw how easy it might be to lose, taking Georgetown ff the undefeated list, 19-18, last week. A safety, well-conceived and well-executed, insured the victory. Charley O'Rourke took the ball in the end zone on a punt situation, but let the Hoyas chase him for several precious seconds before handing them two points. Praise over their acomplishments might turn the B. C. heads, but we’ll string along with them to take an Auburn team that has lost close ones to L. S. U,, S. M. U,, and Georgia—and won the rest. Sa Tennessee hasn’t been closer than a two-touchdown margin to defeat. but Kentucky's up and down outfit may make trouble. The Volunteers should win in a breeze.

Lesson Is Learned Cornell, apparently victorious 7-3 Saturday, but actually defeated, 3-0, by Dartmouth, no longer needs this advice. A mistake concerning the number of downs gave the Big Red a fifth down with six seconds left

By J. E. O'BRIEN : Sure we were suckers once, but no honey-dipped, powder-sugar=-coated voice can draw a prediction from us this time. That PurdueIndiana football game tomorrow at Lafayette is a tossup at this address, so please put that folding money back in your wallet. However, we cah report safely and fearlessly that tomorrow's game will start at 1:30-p. m., that 16,000 fans will try to go in the wrong gate at Ross-Ade Stadium, that the other 16,000 will end up in the wrong seats and that the whole mob will think of eating lunch in the same restaurant. You can also be sure that: 1. Nobody will even get a peek at the Old Oaken Bucket. 2. Some Purdue graduate will take exception to what the Indiana party two rows up is saying, whereupon everyone will rise, argue, shake fists and undoubtedly miss a scoring play. 3. Every Indiana student will lise ten to the I. U. band, then tell his neighbor it's the best in the country. 4. Every Purdue student will listen to the Purdue band, then tell his neighbor it's the best in the country. But beyond that, nothing can be put in the death-and-taxes category. At this late hour Coach Mal Elward hasn't decided on his start ing Purdue backfield. Neither has Coach Bo McMillin for that matter, The right halfback problem is Elward's most serious. Out for a month with a cracked wrist, Mike Byelene, veteran pitch -and -run star, suffered a shoulder injury against Minnesota that makes him a doubtful performer. But we still believe Michael will get in the bail game, if it’s only to hold the ball on a placekick. Other right half candidates are
