: Bosch Gunning For the Irish

. By BROOKS SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 10.—Ever since Billy Gibson dropped what would have been a winning touchdown pass against Notre Dame two years ‘ago, little Johnny Bosch, Georgia Tech’s midget tailback, has been vowing to get the Irish. He tried it last year when he

Bosch was an unknown sophomore when Tech met Notre Dame in 1939. He weighed only 145 pounds and had yet to be tested in big time football. Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech’s veteran coach, must have wondered what would happen waen he sent the “little fellow with possibilities” out te lead the Engineers that afternoon, but he didn’t wonder long. : :

Cool As a Veteran

Johnny ‘played and ran the team as cool as any veteran. The teams came up to the closing minutes with Notre Dame leading 17-14, but Bosch wasn’t through.

The Southwest long has pitchers, and the cream of the crop has belonged to Texas Christian, which had Slingin’

He is the lad who pitched 14 strikes in- 20 tosses against Arkansas last Saturday, and he is- the fellow the Fightin’ Hoosiers will have to lasso if the Indiana Homecoming celebration is going to have the right ending. Gillespie is capable of passing his opponents dizzy, running them ragged and kicking them jnto coffin corner. In the words of Indiana scouts who watched him lead his team to victories over both Tulsa, 6-0, and Arkansas, 9-0, it would take a Bill Shakespeare to coin an adjective befitting his prowess. This is the task Indiana, beaten in its first two starts against Detroit, 14-7, and Notre Dame, 19-6, will try to accomplish before 20,000 fans and former students returning to the I. U. campus for the 1941 Homecoming. Hoosiers at Full Strength

It’s Butler’s Last Stand

By UNITED PRESS Indiana’s 14 college conference grid teams turn to inter-league warfare this week-end, and when the smoke of battle clears away a new champion may be assuréd. Butler, titleholder for seven

straight ‘years, fights with its -back: to the wall tonight in meeting Ball

Bowl. Coach Tony Hinkle crystal balls a victory, but he means not so much that Butler will win, but that it must win.

The Bulldogs, too weak ‘to ‘shell peanuts thus: far, have dropped three straight, including a conference clash. Another league defeat and Butler virtually can kiss the boys goodbye. Ball State has played only one game, a 6-6 tie with Northern Illinois.

Champ May Emerge

If Butler falls, the future conference champion well may emerge from the Central Normal ~St. Joseph's clash, easily the standout game Saturday. New coach Hank Miller has brought Central Normal along to two straight victories, St. Joe has‘won three. These records include a conference win apiece. St. Joe was said to view the Central Normal invasion with alarm, since Bill Smith, its starting right guard, is out with a broken collar bone, and two key members of a slick- functioning backfield, Steve Theodosis . and Stan Wisniewski, also may be out.

Still to be defeated in conference play are: Rose Poly and DePauw, with one league victory each, and both get a break in meeting teams which have yet fo produce a victory. Rose Poly plays at Evansville ang DePauw at Hanover.
