May Make Tour of Nation

Historic Heavies Trade Letters Feverishly ,

By HARRY FERGUSON Daiten Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—After all psey and Luis 1 Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, are feverishly exchanging letters and they may 2 make a tour of the country on the 20th anni-

Jversary of their historic fight.

That wouldn't occur, until 1943 (the fight took place Sept. 23, 1923) bus the Wild Bull seems anxious to do

that, because the old timers do say that the Wild Bull and the Manassa Maller put on the greatest bout of all time in six short minutes, Dempsey, - knocked through the ropes, crawled back and ' knocked out Firpo. The Wild Bull says he

Seatac, and adds in a letter to Jack. “Now about myself. I am. living in the country on a ranch of my own; plenty of steers, horses, pigs, etc. I cannot grumble. But very often I dream of the skyscrapers of New York and the lights of Broadway. How I misg them!” .

A. & M. football team brought to New York to intimidate the N. Y. U. boys before today’s game was a lulu about Willie Zapalac, a 200pound back. Seems that Willie kicks like a mule and runs like a deer. When he was playing for Belleville (Texas) High School,

he got into a scramble for the ball and eventually fell on it behind the opposition goal line for a touchdown. I didn’t see it; I'm just telling you what the nman told me.

The boys in blue still fumble, still miss their tackles and blocks in large quantities. Their offensive power is improving although still misdirected. But the feeling of victory .is there now, 13 to 6, over| Ball State Teachers of Muncie. Mr. Dimancheff is largely responsible.

No. 10 for Bulldogs

It was the tenth straight victory for the Bulldogs over the Cardinals. Coach Paul D. Hinkle’s men had been beaten by one conference foe already this season (St. Joseph, 13 to 6) and it was victory or “kiss the boys goodby” last night. Late in the third period with Ball State leading, 6 to 0, thanks to Bulldog ‘errors, Dimancheff struck. He sliced off tackle on an innocent play, saw the moon over a Cardinal shoulder and headed right for it.

It was the first long jaunt of the year for a Fairview sonchuowner,

Opportunity knocked again in the fourth period for Babe and he answered quickly. Tucking in a long punt on the Butler 47 he evaded the Cardinal ends and headed toward the sidelines. Joe Rodick picked him up at midfield and cleared the way with a beautiful block. A change of pace fooled the remaining backfield boys and Dimancheff traveled 53 yards to score.

Break Even in Grid Games

Indianapolis footballers broke even in six games : yesterday, with Shortridge, Tech and Crispus Attucks on the winning sides. Manual lost, 16 to 7, at the expense of Southport, who ended a three-game losing streak. Elwood conquered Cathedral, 13 to 0, and West Lafayette trompled all over Broad Ripple, 31 to 6.

Shortridge was on top almost all the way in their game with Lafayette at the North Side field. It was squirming, slithering James Fleming of the Broncs who edged through the Blue Devil line and outran the secondary in the opening period to give Lafayette a 6-point margin. Late in the first period, Ted Corbin recovered a Brorfc fumble that started Shortridge to a second period touchdown when Allerdice flipped a shorty to Corbin in the end zone. Don Rogers’ kick from placement was good. Runs Win for Tech

Except for a threat late in the half, when Jeff took the ball to the Shortridge five-yard line, the Blue Devils played a paramotnt defensive game. Rogers intercepted a ° Jefferson pass near the close of the game when the Broncs took to the air in a last-minute attempt to win. In a conference battle, two long runs and a concentrated drive won for Tech over Anderson by a score of 19 to 12. Tech scored in the first, second and final periods and Anderson, making four first. downs in a Yow: counted in the third stanza, and again in the fourth.

Oldham Leads Tigers

Meyer of Tech intercepted a pass in his own territory in the quarter and ran 53 yards to score. Tech made it 13 to 0 in the second period, when Pi returned a punt 80 yards and passed to Burries and then to Patterson for another touchdown. - Hanna of Tech plunged a final counter near the end of the game, after Tech had netted three first downs in g row. Priddy and Clemons counted for Anderson. - Crispus Attucks, led by - four touchdowns by Pete Oldham, blanketed Dunbar of Dayton, O., 45 to 0, The Tigers scared in every period. Oldham went around end in the first quarter for 80 yards, galloped

87 and 16 yards in the second ses-

sion for touchdowns and counted again in the final stanza with a 70yard run. Elwood held Cathedral's threats when it. counted most and took advantage of its own scoring opportunities to shade the local school. The Elwood team had possession of the ball most of the first period. They scored on the second play of the second quarter when Ernie Reichert went through guard stand-

ing up. Irish Fumble The Irish threatened in the next period on a 60-yard pass, Emmett Behr to Jack Devine, but a fumble lost their opportunity. Reichert intercepted a pass from Cathedral on the Elwood two-yard stripe to break up an Irish drive that had netted six first Sqwa. Resorting to passes near end of the game, Cathedral lost the ball again when Copher, Panther end, intercepted.

2000 See Manual

Manual lost before a crowd of 2000 at the Southport stadium last night. The Cards tallied in the first and second periods, both on pluhges off tackle. Manual scored late in the third quarter on a run off tackle by Bill VanDerMoere, who was shifted from tackle to fullback before the

first game

The Southport safety was chalked up when Allanson was tackled 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage after a bad pass from center. Punt Is Blocked

‘A blocked punt and a fumble helped Broad Ripple lose to West Lafayette. Steinmetz of the Red Devils ran 55 yards after picking up the blocked kick. The fumble started West Lafayette on another march for a score, Swank’s 55-yard dash and a 15yard pass accounted for two other Red counters. Stafford recovered a West Lafayete kick blocked by several linemen in the last stanza for Broad Ripple’s only score.
