STRESSING speed, experience and winning psythology in the Boilermaker football camp, Mal Elward, ead coach, blew some artistic smoke rings at the Purdue

Association of Indianapolis grid smoker at the Severin oof garden last night and started the local alumni off

pn the right foot in the pre-season warmup. The smiling veteran mentor introduced his assistant professors d they gave a good account of themselves in painting a rosy fall son at the West Lafayette institution. . . . The new member of staff is Joe Boland, .the former Notre Dame assistant coach, who said he’s delighted with his new surroundings and all set to go all-out for Purdue. : Among others who discussed the 1041 Boilermaker talent were Mel Taube, Red Mackey, H. Duggins and Dutch Fehring. . . « The grid chiefs journeyed to Indianapolis after a tough opening day’s practice that called for two drills and a scrimmage, Elward explained the reason for the scrimmage on the first day out was the Vanderbilt game, Sept. 27, first on Purdue’s slate. . . « “That is going to be a bitter battle and I hear the Commodores have been practicing ahead of our boys,” Mal Elwary said Mal. . . . “Put that tilt in the tossup according to the experts, but don’t get me wrong. I think well it if we can steer clear of last year’s jinx of losing in the last “of play. “This is actually the beginning of a new football season but for last season never ended; played the 1940 close ones over and over Brough the winter, spring and summer.

... Hath No Fury

MEDFIELD, Mass., Sept. 11 (U. P.).—Myrtle Chick, 17, said today she was going to organize a girls’ football team, with her self at quarterback, and lick the tar out of the. Medfield High eleven. Myrtle, a policeman’s daughter, bid for a place on the team during a practice session yesterday and was turned down because she was a girl. The entire squad, including Myrtle’s 18-year-old brother, Robert, a first string back, threatened to quit if she didn’t leave. The position Myrtle sought, quarterback, is held by John Finge, captain of the team. Myrtle, who weighs 160 pounds and stands 5 feet 6 inches in her stocking feet, looked Finge over and turned to Coach Jack Welch. “I could make the team easy, coach,” she said. Then she picked up a football and threw it 40-odd yards. But the coach said “No,” and Myrtle, furious because she must confine her athletic activities to such “pantywaist” sports as tennis and scftball, said she would organize a girls’ team and challenge the boys. “She’ll do it, too,” her father predicted. “She’s a better player than her brother.”

Chaney had 102 kayoes, and Young Stribling (strangely enough) had 137, but veterans like “Dumb Dan” Morgan insist, “Young Otto was the deadliest puncher 1 ever saw. His one-two was chain lightning.” He was such a terrific puncher, his admirers claim, that neither the

‘lightweight nor welterweight cham-

ions would fight him, and finally he had to campaign against middleweights. They say he beat Al McCoy three days before McCoy won the middleweight crown from George Chip in 1914, ‘Can’t Punch’ : We found Mr. Dynamite at Stillman’s gymnasium. He was watching Tony Zale, the N.B. A. middleweight king, preparing for Friday's tilt with Georgie Abrams. Otto said, “Most fighters today can’t punch or box. Joe Louis is.a notable exception. They've never had proper instruction and handling. Few of the current trainers ever took a punch on the nose—ever did any fighting themselves. They're’ like truck drivers trying to give piano lessons. I feel sorry for the poor kids, when I'm refereeing.

The Birds used four other pitchers in an attempt to stem the Blue attack but all were ineffecfive. Milo Candini went the route for the Blues and was in difficulty only in the ninth inning but the Kansas City lead was substantial enough to protect him. Victory for the Blues put the count in the Columbus-Kansas City four-out-of-seven series at one game each.

The Colonels stopped a ninth inning rally by the Millers to win, 7 to 5. The Millers took an early lead with three runs in the first inning but were unable to score again until the ninth. Then Minneapolis shoved across two runs and had the tying two runs on base when Bill Butland replaced the Colonels’ Oscar Judd on the mound and forced Ab Wright to pop up to retire the side. Elon Hogsett was the losing

pitcher.
