SPORTS... By Eddie Ash
IT WON'T BE long now until the punt, pass and pray boys take over the headlines in the sports world. . . . Most of the grid gladiators have received their notices to please report in shape instead of waiting for the coaches
to run ‘em until their tongues hang out. The college rah. rah warriors will be hard at it a month from new tuning up for another season of feverish football and it's a safe guess that the key games will pack ‘em in as usual unless America is in a shootin’ war by 1941 kickoff time. In Street and Smith's Football Year Book Stanley Woodward gives you an idea of the pre-season sizeup of the Hoosier Big Three as judged and based on summer information. . . . In part, Expert Woodward analyzes the Hoosier situation in this fashion: “Notre Dame remains a problem after six months of Frank Leahy, the man who hoisted Boston College to prominence in two years. He is neither optimistic nor downcest; quite obviously he is figuring on the long pull and does not expect to burn up the world this year. “The up-coming sophomore material at Notre Dame is definitely on the acid side. Leahy is confronted with the proposition of sending into action a team comprising the remnants of last year’s mediocre squad. Some of the remnants are pretty hot stuff, however. Steve Juzwik at right halfback undoubtedly rates as one of the fastest and strongest runners in the country. “Dippy Evans at left half is thoroughly capable in all three offensive maneuvers. Bob Dove is an outstanding end. Bob Hargrave is a thinking quarterback, but neither large nor fast. Leahy is worrying principally about his guards and fullbacks. “Indiana University is coming up with another of those schoolboy phenoms, a sophomore named Bill Hillenbrand who is publicized as another Berwanger. “Purdue has a consignment of guys named Joe who may be formed into quite a football team by Mal Elward.”
Hillenbrand to Carry Indiana’s Mail
ALSO WRITING in the Street and Smith magazine, James Ss. Kearns elaborates on the outlook at Indiana U. and Purdue. . . « Tackling the Fightin' Hoosiers first, Kearns puts the ink to the paper something like this: “At Indiana. Hillenbrand may ave arrived a year or two too late. for the Hoosiers’ powerful line was shot by graduation and it is questionable whether Bo McMillin can build another wall to front for Hillenbrand before Bounding Billy comes of junior or senior age. “But the startling sophomore, who figures to be a really great back, cannot be completely discounted, either, since his offensive talents and his ruggedness figure to give MeMillin’s offensive more versatility than it was able to muster the last few years in which good passers couldnt run, the runners couldn't pass, and the fast boys were just little ‘scooter’ backs who had to be relieved after limited action. “Hillenbrand. 190 pounds, can really run and is big enough to stay in there for more than spasmodic short takes of activity. “Observers have waited for several seasons to see what Bo MeMillin’s well-conceived and nonconstructive offense might turn up when and if it is manned by a big, fast back. Hillenbrand figures o be that back. so Bo may scatter a few headaches as he passes down his row of tough opponents. He shuld get a share for himself, however, from that line problem.”
Speed Merchants Prevail at Old Purdue
EXPERT KEARNS likes Purdue's footwork and declares no football team in the Midlands will be able to overmatch the Boilermakers in the matter of squad speed. “You may get some idea of how the boys move from the fact that during the spring Coach Elward actually toyed with some “tackle-around” plays—tackles, running that fast! «Other offensive developments indicate that Purdue may do some running from the “T" formation as an auxiliary attack to go with its standard Notre Dame shift plays and its flexible short-punt formation series. “The Boilermakers, you see, are going to take every possible advantage from their ability to run. “That tinge of experience is visible all through the Boilermaker squad, with 2¢ major letter winners of 1940 expected to be in action through the eight-game card. In the forward wall, for example, Purdue can field a unit satisfactorily equipped with experience and savvy at every post except center. “Since Tex Axton of the 1940 team was practically tireless in his duties at center, only one pivot candidate, Alex Leugo, can bring any experience to that spot. «Backfield lettermen are Robert Kersey and Fred Smerke, quarterbacks; Bryan Brock, Marion Carter, Tony Berto, Walter Cook, John Galvin and Paul Anderson, halfbacks, and John Petty, Vincent Snyder, William Buffington and Harold Schumacher, fullbacks.”

Yes, It's That Horse Again
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. Aug. 18 (U. P.).—Saratoga’s most|
famed transient, the redoubtable Whirlaway, took to the road again today for a quick trip to Chicago and a chance to use vhe American Derby as a springboard to sixth— or maybe fifth—step on the ladder of great money winning horses. Trailing broken records in his wake, the king of the 3-year-olds boarded a private railway car un-
der the wacthful eye of Honest Ben Jones. who carefully carried ge a supply of special feed and spe- | cial water. “We aren't going west just for the trip. you know.” Jones said. “We have a score to settle in Chicago. and if Whirlaway runs like he did in the Travers here Satur-
He is in pretty good condition for | a hard-working horse.” Prospects were the red-coated colt will have no trouble in the $40,000 race season at Washington Park. For one thing his only recent conqueror, ih Attention, is temporarily out of!’ training. For another, he will be reunited with his favorite jockey, | spindly-legged Eddie Arcaro. In winning the Travers, oldest race in" the country, Whirlaway | scored by three lengths although | weighted down with 130 pounds and | forced to run the full mile and al quarter through holding mud. The | triumph was his 11th in 16 starts] this year.

Bud Sawin. Little Nancy, of the Multnomah Swimming Club of Portland, Ore, {a cripple for more than half of her 14 years, took the spotlight cfaway from the glamour girls by swimming like a demon when she needed to and setting American and A. A. U. records in the 1500 and 800-meter free style events. Sawin, a likeable, 33-year-old {coach from the Hoosier State who to a team victory last year, brought an un{heralded band of swimmers from | Indianapolis’ Riviera Club into town
The crowd wasn't sure which of the two it liked the best. Friday, it was all Nancy when she beat out Ann Harden of Indianapolis by a breadth to set a record of 2
meters—27 seconds under the old | record. Sawin Lionized The next day of the meet, Sawin's 800-meter relay team of Joan Fogle, Mary Ann Walts, Ann Harden and Betty Bemis swam the event in 10 minutes, 30.7 seconds—28.1 seconds under the old National A. A. U.
scored three | mark, and the Hoosiers went into
lead. It was so unexpected [that Sawin was pretty well lionized. Patty Aspinall of the Riviera swam the 206 meter breast Istroke in the record time of 3:14.9, beating the old record of 3:16.1, and Betty Bemis of Sawin's team won the 400-meter free style in the record time of 5:237 and the crowd liked Sawin that much more.
Little Nancy Again Then Sunday with Indianapolis 14 points in the lead. Nancy came into her own again by setting her second record. She was a yard or so behind Miss Bemis—who had beaten her in the 400-meter event —until she came into the home stretch. The little high school girl went into full speed ahead {hen and

In Sunday's events, the New York W. S. A. won the 300-meter medley relay championship in the time of 3 minutes 535 seconds. Members of the team are Miss Callen, Lorraine Fischer and Marion Sahner— {winners last year as well. Portland was second and Indianapolis third. Helen Crlenkovich of the Fairmount Hotel, San Francisco, won the 3-meter springboard diving championship to make a clean sweep of the diving events.

No Glamour, But Tennis
By TOM NOONAN’ United Press Staff Correspondent CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug. 18.—A stage and screen star will try to offset some of the glamour deficiency caused by:the absence of Queen Alice Marble and bigname foreign aces in the 60th National Doubles ¢ h a mpionships starting today at the Longwood Cricket Club. The Thespian racqueteer is Paul Lukas, currently appearing in a New York stage production. Lukas plans a daily round trip by plane to fill his court and theatHe will compete with Dr. William Rosenbaum of New York, an experienced former titlist, in the veteran's doubles. A Dbargain-basement scramble looms in this renewal of the blueribbon event with only one pair of defending titlists In the three main divisions. A bumper crop of strong sectional téams will attempt to repeat the movie-like triumph of John Kramer and Ted Schroeder. In the women’s field, Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke of New York seeks to share the title for the ninth time. Her partner is capable Margaret Osborne of Los Angeles, who scored four upsets en route to triumph in last week's Essex County Tourney at Manchester. The Rollins College duo of Pauline Betz and Dorothy May Bundy rates almost an equal chance.

They're Hosts to Our Lowly
Tribe, Losers in Four Straight
Times Special
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 18.—Having
shoved the Louisville Colonels from
fourth to second place over the week-end by losing the three-game series to them, the Indianapolis Indians today were speeding to Mine neapolis where they'll probably act as stepping stones again and put the Millers back into the pennant hunt.
The Indians are that way.
When they strike a losing streak it makes
no difference who meets them, they just keep on floundering. Their latest slide has reached four straight and needless to say the American Association's four Western clubs are rubbing their hands in glee and anticipation waiting for the Hoosiers to show up.
The Tribe's swing through the
® | West calls for three tilts at Min- | neapolis, four at St. Paul, three at
Milwaukee and one at Kansas City. At the rate the mound staff is going and the hitters not hitting as a
:| team, the Redskins fear the worst Yon this last long trip of the season.
They opened the junket in Louisville Saturday night and the Colonels climbed on George Gill and Lloyd Johnson for a 7-3 victory as Bill Butland held them to five hits. Handcuffed by Dickman
In yesterday's first game—won by the Colonels, 4 to 0— the Indians were held to four hits by Emerson Dickman as they drew a row of goose eggs on the scoreboard. However, the Hoosiers bounced back for 10 hits in the Sunday second game but the Colonels smacked 'em down again, 5 to 4.
Bob Logan pitched the Sabbath first game for the Tribe and Glenn Fletcher and Ray Starr worked the seven-inning second game. And it was another defeat for Starr—his 14th—while striving for his 2lst victory. Ray went to the mound in the second inning with the bases loaded, none out and one run in, and startled the Louisville customers by
getting out of tine jam. But the Colonels got to him in the third for three runs and again in the fourth for one run, which proved the wine ning marker. Leading, 3 to 0, in the top half of the second frame, Fletcher fell apart as the Colonels started clicke ing. This brought Starr in from the bullpen and in the top half of the third the Indians held a lead of 4 to 1. After that, the deluge. Lefty Lefebvre worked the route on the Louisville mound.
Colonels Make Six Errers
The Colonels tried to “give” the game away by committing six errors but the Hoosiers declined and made three errors themselves, Joe Bestudik was the Tribe's best hitter during the series. He got one hit Saturday night and batted in three runs. In yesterday's first fracas he got one blow and in the nightcap the rookie third sacker collected three hits and one run batted in. Louisville has defeated Indianapolis 13 times in 19 clashes and with three more to be played at _ Indianapolis Sept. 1 and 2. The Indians were supposed to have an offday today on an open date but along with the Millers they discovered a postponement on May 8 still is hanging in the schedule and the teams will get together and play it off under the lights a$
