FROM the files of the Purdue Athletic News Service: The average Boilermaker football player of 1941 will be a typical Midwesterner, for although 11 States are represented on Mal Elward’s grid roster, all but 10 of the prospective candidates hail from Indiana or one of the three bordering States—Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. Purdue's “ideal” 1941 grid warrior, as determined by the averages of the 70 plavers who are expected to report to Coach Elward for the opening practice on Sept. 10, will have the following general specifications: Weight, 185 pounds; height 3 feet, 11 inches; age 20 vears, eight months. As far as scholastic inclinations are concerned, virtually every school in the University is represented, including agriculture, forestry, the various branches of engineering, physical education and science. The sophomore class with 30 candidates, will predominate, although closely followed by the junior class, with 27. Seniors, with tives, will be in the distinct minority. anything in size, there should be plenty of at tackle The two largest men on the squad are Italo Rossi, 5 feet, 11 inches and 225 pounds, and Barry French, 6 feet. 1 220 pounds .

‘Hoosiers Beat Kentucky Stars

By BOB FLEETWOOD

You can't beat Hoosier high school basketball, at least Kentucky lads can’t. So smile that wry smile, Branch McCracken. The bouncing ball wasn't a strange weapon to a little band of basketeers from Inez High School in Kentucky but they were hopelessly outclassed by the Indiana All-Stars last night, 51 to 42. The nucleus of this Hoosier offense, it is rumor, will matriculate at Indiana University this fall. It was the third straight victory for the Hoosierland in this anuual All-Star meeting with Kentucky stars and this time the spotlight fell on little Leroy “Hook” Mangin of the state champion Washington five. “Hook.” along with the two other standouts, Carl Campbell of Kokomo and Marshall “Coondog” Koontz of Newcastle, may play under McCracken this fall.

Little Leroy

Little Mangin was spotted all the way by Kentucky guards. They meant to stop him, but it in your backyard sometime. He scored 14 points. Right behind him came Campbell with 10 and Koontz with eight. Coach Glenn Curtis of Indiana State Teachers College managed the substitutions for Indiana. Maybe the boys won't all play in a Teachers’ uniform someday, but that look of “I can dream, can't I?” was on his face as they pranced up and down the long floor with Carl and “Coondog” passing and “Hook” tossing. Ed Diddle of Western State Teachers College in Bowling Green, Ky., started the Inez five, state champions, and they soon showed the | Hoosiers they had played this game before. The first quarter score was 16 to 13 for the homeland but West and Harmon were giving their guards (plenty of trouble. Mangin wasn't easy the downstate learned, as he {contributed five to the total.

Times Special ST. PAUL, Aug. 23.—The Indianapolis Redskins didn't do much with their bats except carry them up te the plate last night and the Saints achieved a shutout over them as Art Herring, righthander, held the Tribe to three blows.

The score was 5 to 0 and the Hoosiers looked outclassed as they drew nine round eggs on the scoreboard. For five innings Bill Cox sparred on even terms with Herring but in the sixth the Apostles rallied for three runs and in the seventh Gryska and Herring smacked home runs for the home team. / Charlie Moncrief relieved Cox in the seventh and finished out the Tribe mound task. The Saints made nine hits and no errors, the Indians were charged with two miscues. On the season's play between the teams the Indiana won 14 games, the Apostles eight.

The Hoosiers shoved off for Mil- -

waukee late last night and were to open a three-game series with the Brewers in the Cream City this afternoon, a single game, to be followed by a double-header tomorrow afternoon. The Indians hold 13 victories over the Brewers while losing six.

Wow! Williams Is Hitting .414

NEW YORK, Aug. 23 (U. P).— Ted Williams’ free and easy swing and mighty bat pounded out 10 hits—five of which were home runs —in his last five games to give him an amazing average of .414 and virtually assure him of the American League batting championship. Averages released today—including games played Thursday—showed Williams, outfielder of the Boston Red Sox, 45 percentage points in front of his nearest rival, Cecil Travis of the Washington Senators, who now is batting .369. Joe DiMaggio, out with an injured ankle, is in third place with .356. Johnny Hopp, slugging outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, dropped three points during the week but retained his National League lead with .329, one point ahead of Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Phillies’ Nick Etten, who are tied at .328.

Johnny Hopp 7 Hurt as Mates Take the Phils

“Bums” Sloppy But Beat Cubs

By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 23. Every St. Louis Cardinal box« score during the rest of the season should have an extra column to list injuries. The Cards are getting hurt often it looks like a plot. Latest Cardinal to make the “in jury column” is Johnny Hopp, the dashing outfielder who was lead ing the league in batting when he

was spiked in the left hand yesterday by Bobby Bragan, Phillies’ shortstop. With Hopp on the shelf the entire regular St. Louis outfield is now crippled and out of action. Terry Moore was beaned in Boston Wednesday and Enos Slaughter broke his shoulder two weeks ago. Call Second Stringers Coming into Brooklyn tomorrow for their critical four-game series with the Dodgers, St. Louis will have to play its second-string oute field of Don Padgett, 37-year-old Estel Crabtree and Coaker Triplett and trust to luck none of them get hurt. They have no reserves unless Branch Rickey rushes up a farm hand. After Hopp had singled in the fourth inning yesterday against the Phils, he was spiked in the hand by Bragan in a play at second. He helped tie the count at 2-2 and then his substitute, Coaker Triplett, broke up the game in the 10th with a homer inside the park which scored a mate ahead of him. Thus the Cardinals won 4-2 and held their distance a game and a half behind the Dodgers who put on a sloppy performance but neverthe=less beat the Cubs, 8-5. Bums Err 3 Times

The Cards top the liniment and bandage league but they haven't got their act copyrighted. The Yankees are gradually going to pot with Joe DiMaggio laid up with an injured ankle and to make matters worse Bill Dickey was hit in the shoulder by a foul tip off Jim Bagby’s bat in yesterday's Cleveland game. If he is laid up for any length of time, the Yanks’ 15-game lead is sure to melt to smaller pro= portions. Without DiMaggio’s big bat, the Yanks lost their fourth game in five starts on their current Western trip. The score was 5-4. The Yanks ending their streak of scoreless innings at 22 when they scored an unearned run off Bagby in the fourth.
