STEPPING UP the pace on the college football front, this week’s menu .calls for fancy pigskin dishes of the traditional variety plus a flock of intersectional clashes

between top flight elevens. You'll probably see a spirited struggle out at Butler Bowl Friday night when Ball State invades. . . . Pushed into the doghouse by three straight defeats, it is said the local Bulldogs are determined to emerge from the doldrums at the expense of the Muncie Teachers. . . . Butler prevailed last year, 25-0. At Bloomington Saturday, Texas Christian of Pt. Worth fills an intersectional date with Indiana’s Hoosiers and this show is recommended to . all grid goers. . . . Ft. Worth, you know, is Bo McMillin’s old home town. . . . The Horned Frogs’ colors are purple and white. Notre Dame also engages in an intersectional attraction down Georgia way, at Atlanta, against Georgia Tech’s Yellow Jackets. . . . A big aerial duel is indicated as both teams boast of star pigskin pitchers as well as speed. . . . The aerial display may not match that recent Aurora Borealis show but the spectators are sure to see plenty. The Irish and Jackets will be meeting for the fourth consecutive year and Tech still has to win a game in the current series. . . . However, all tilts have been close, 26-20, last year; 17-14, in 1939, and - 14-6 in 1938. : Notre Dame and Georgia Tech began meeting in 1822 and the

Bosch Does Tech’s Pigskin Pitching COACH ALEXANDER'S ace pass tosser is Johnny Bosch, now weighing 165 and reported as fast as ever. . . . Johnny is teamed with Dave Eldredge, sophomore sensation, a broken field runner of the grade-A type. ; i Bobby Dodd, halfback, is another Tech starlight. . « « In its only game to date Tech was ragged against Chattanooga last week, winning, 20-9, but Bosch wasn’t off form and sparked the team against the inferior foe. Atjany rate, Coach Alexander: wasn’t grumbling after the game "and told Tech followers the boys would be all set for Notre Dame. Alexander authored the story about the wise-cracking halfback who had an answer for every mistake. . . . Several years ago after Tech won a close one against a Southern rival and was forced to come from behind twice to win something like 19-16 the movies of the combat were reviewed the following Monday. The pictures revealed the halfback pulling a couple of blunders and Alexander shouted to the player: “How about that? You missed an easy block and where weyg you on that other play?” \ The halfback broke out a smile and said: “Ah, coach, take it easy. This is one we can’t lose.”

ham and Wesley Fesler. But where it took his predecessors years to achieve their fame, Brown has won his in just 12 days. : At 33, Paul Brown is the youngest coach in the Westarn Conference. Just nine months ago he was as anonymous in national football cir-

cles as the 1930 All = America. He was well known in his own baliliwick as the “Mir-§ acle Man of Massillon,” where he had lost only one game of 60 played in five years, but

a high school to ‘Miracle’ Brown a college the likes of Ohio State is almost impossible. Only two modern coaches bridged the gap with a single leap — Bob Zuppke, who went from Oak Park, Ill, to the University of Illinois, and Abe Kirwan, who stepped from Manual High in Louisville to the University of Kentucky. Brown has done even better.

His first*game pitted Ohio State against Missouri and State barely won, 12-7. In Columbus the Downtown Coaching Society went into session and decided to withhold its verdict. It was just as well because last week the Buckeyes made good —they crushed Southern California, 33-0. * Worst Beating for U. S. C.

This was the worst beating the mighty Trojans had absorbed since they first climbed to football prominence almost two decades ago and it was one of the most pertinent developments of foothall’s_second big week-end. : How (‘id this Jonnny-Come-Lately do it? Well, the answer is fairly simple. Brown uses neither black magic

nor mirrors, just plain common sense. :

First of all, Brown is a stickler for condition. He believes every man on his squad should be geared to play 60 minutes of football and that a coach should never need to substitute merely because players are tired. And he stresses one quality above all others—before any boy can play for Brown he must prove he likes to knock other boys off their feet.

There -is no Brown “system,” except in the development of players. Even before he obtained the job at Ohio, the Massillon mentor visited his fellow high school coaches and asked them to slant their material to State in the event He got the job.

He intends to chodke the best 36 players each year and train them daily in his basic ideas so that each autumn he will have 36 sophomores ready to roll. Brown stresses unit play. Paul Bixler handles ends and wingbacks; Carroll Widdoes, the blocking backs and fulls; Hugh McGranahan, the

f|guards and centers; Fritz Mackey,

the tackles, and Edward Blicke, the reserves,

Brown puts the pieces together into a boxed variation of the single wing. There is nothing unusual in his style; it accents execution of fundamentals and condition. The new Ohio State coach doesn’t believe in mass scrimmaging. He thinks it results in too many inuries. Like Carl Snavely of Cor-

‘Looney Lew’s’ Doom Sealed

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (U. P.).—The|: three slightly comic gentlemen on|: the New York Boxing Commission occasionally forget their double talk

and other things which make them|: the darlings of the gagsters, and|: get down to business with all the|: zeal of a new housemaid wielding a |:

new broom.

They did it yesterday, and, after all these months, finally cracked |: down on the hungry-looking young |:

man who is lightweight champion in this state. He is Lew Jenkins, and his story is one of the strangest in the strangest of all worlds—the prize fight racket. They say that the fire that burns highest and brightest dies first, and that, in a few words, is the story of Jenkins’ career. A few years ago he arrived here with a broken-down automobile and a pretty young wife. He had come from Texas to see the World's Fair, and all he wanted was a few nights at small clubs to earn enough money to pay expenses here and buy gasoline back home. Much to his surprise, he began, licking the daylights out of all the lightweights in these parts. Jenkins was an indifferent boxer, but he had a right hand that landed like TNT and he began to build up quite a following. His manager was Fred Browning, a Texan, but the man who handled his affairs in and out of the fight racket was Hymie Caplin, a fast talker who knew the ropes—and I don’t mean the ropes that bound the ring at Madison Square Garden.

Smooth Sailing

Everything was smooth sailing for Lew and Katie Jenkins until he won the lightweight championship. Then the roof fell in on them. Caplin, it developed, was associated with persons who loved to play cards, the chief reason being that they always won. The law sent Mr. Caplin to the Big House to repent the error of his ways. Jenkins had troubles of a different kind. He had a quarrel with his wife, he went to Texas and issued a statement that bit a large chunk out of the hand that was feeding him. He criticized New Yorkers, the people who were paying the money that earned him his purses, for being “funny talkers.”

Liked Motorcycles

But, most important ‘of all, he became more interested in riding motorcycles at high speed than in getting ready for fights. He began to lose, and only the fact that he was involved in non-title bouts kept him from losing his championship. Monday night in Madison Square Garden, Jenkins struck bottom. He was matched with Welterweight Champion Red Cochrane in another one of those non-title affairs, and it turned out to be a dismal performance, It was so bad that yesterday the Boxing Commission ordered Promoter Mike Jacobs to hold up Jenkins’ purse, some $7000. Late this ‘month Jenkins, cham=pion in New York state, is supposed to fight Sammy Angott, recognized by the National Boxing Association as lightweight title-holder. Even if Jenkins gets over that hurdle. his doom still is written plainly on the

wall, . Dark Dynamite Ahead

For lurking in the wings, eager to get a crack at the title is a bundle of dark dynamite named Ray Robinson. The negro lad is a classy boxer, a hard puncher and a fast

man on his feet. He has “champion”

written all over him, and some night this winter he probably will land the blow that will send Jenkins back to

There he can ride his motorcycle and grow old, telling the neighbors how he came out of nowhere and for a brief span of time was a great man on the Street of the Bright Lights.

The Indianapolis Capitals were to report at the Coliseum this morning for their first practice session of the 1941-42 season.

The team was bolstered today by the acquisition of four players from the Detroit Red Wings. The official announcement said the players had been “farmed out,” and it is possible they will remain with the Caps all year. They are Bill Jennings and Joe Carveti, right wings; Harold Jackson, defense man, and Ken Kilrea, center,

All other things being equal, the Gophers play their mathematical chances with slide-rule efficiency and more often than not the breaks

finally come their way. This may be the key to Minnesota’s opening Western Conference title defense Saturday against Illinois. Physically the Gophers are far superior but none can tell for certain what sort of frenzy Bob Zuppke will have whipped up for the underdog Illini. ”

¥ When Illinois upset Michigan and Harmon in 1939, Michigan was demoralized from the third period on. That licked ’em.

Indiana is a tossup against | Texas Christian. Here’s why: Illinois at Minnesota—At the outset the Illini may have enough charge to handle Minnesota’s line despite their lack of weight. Illinois seconds, however, will have a sharp letdown against Minnesota seconds.
