Mal And Bo Review Those Epic PrercrTnt Strugg les
SPORTS. By Eddie Ash
THIS IS the last big week on the regular college football calendar, and, as:usual, it presents every problem in the book for the experts. . . . Some teams closed their schedules last week, others call it a season today, and Saturday calls( for-many topnotchers to ring down the
curtain. In the Hoosier State the leading spectacles will take place at South Bend and Bloomington, and Ricugnds ¢ of frenzied grid fans will beat the key games. Notre Dame will be striving to’ compiety an undefeated season, battling old rival Southern California, and Indiana and Purdue will go around and around with the Old Oaken Bucket at stake. We are picking the Irish over the Trojans, but predict that the warriors from the Pacific Coast will force Frank Leahy’ s. team to the utmost. The Trojans had two weeks to prepare for this one and are reported more formidable than their record indicates: The Indiapapolis Times’ football ratings as prepared by Expert Bob Godley’ indicate a tie between Indiana and Purdue. , .. ‘Other “systems” call it for Purdue by one point. , . . Some experts are riding . the Crimson bandwagon, some are stringing with the Boilermakers, « + « It certainly is a “natural” for the box office. Our ‘riod ‘goes ‘to ‘Indiana. . . . And’ St: Joseph’s over Valparaiso and Evansville over Arkansas A.-M. . . . St. Joe played host to Valparaiso today. . . . The Pumas have won seven games and tied one. o.+ « The draw verdict was with Illinois Wesleyan, 12-12, : Michigan figures to down Ohio State before another capacity crowd, Minnesota has too much power, for offensive-minded Wisconsin, Northwestern is favored over. Tilinois, and Iowa, playing outside the Western Conference, is doped to edge Nebraska, Selections on all fronts, on games today, tomorrow, Saturday : and Sunday:

Yesteryear’ s Ghosts Re-Play
Thrillers for That Old Bucket
By BOB FLEETWOOD
A fantasy in seven acts. Time--Midnight on the eve of the Purdue-Indiana game, + Place—Nemorial Stadium. It was cold. So cold that the nightwatchman, hurrying on his rounds, neglected to check the giant horseshoe of stone. Scurrying through the snow he failed to notice the two figures striding alcng the side of Memorial Stadium. The two gentlemen were Bo McMillin of Indiana and Mal Elward of Purdue and their mission was a strange one. They came to remember the greats of other years and to recall how spirited and close a PurdueIndiana struggle could be. There were proofs and thrills aplenty in the last seven years. The ones that Bo had watched and worried over. The record book read three for Indiana and three for Purdue with one tie. Neither spoke as they crossed the cinder path and walked to a snow-covered bench at the 50-yard lire, They sat down. Sat down to play ‘em over.
ACT ONE
Suddenly it was 1934 and out there on the field were two football teams. One in crimson and the other in old gold. They were. lined up at midfield but the Crimson was moving. Memories came quickly. There was Wendell Walker racing back to throw gnd tall Ettore Antonini wds-in the end zone, waiting, So Indiana took an early lead and Purdue marched all the way back to the Hoosier: 18-yard line. Then out of a snarl of linemen came Don Veller of Indiana, racing 82 yards to score. There were other moments in the e: ‘Reed Kelso booting: a a pass from
Anderson to score, Final score: Indiana, 17; Purdue, 6. ACT. TWO
Now this one faded and a'new crop of Hoosiers and Boilermakers with a few of the old faces came into the play. The moment to remember was short and sweet for the Hoosiers. Wendell Walker passed 25 yards to a man. football was to hear a lot: about in the following years, Vernon Huffman. Huffman ran 56 yards. after ‘the toss and the final count read Indiana, 7; Purdue, 0.
ACT THREE
Then out of the mists came madcap football that was unrivaled in their ancient series. It was 1936 and Vernon Huffman took the opening kickof! and raced through the entire Purdue team to the Boilermaker 10-yard line, but neither he nor his teammates could move any farther. This should have been an omen, an omen of what was to come. Cecil Isbell, now one of professional football's best passers, sent a spiral to Tom Zachary and Purdue was ahead. Back came the Gold and Black halfback with another superb toss, this one to Freddie Stalcup, and it looked like Purdue in a breeze. But Indiana started to march now. On the sixth play after the kickoff Huffman was tossing to Jick Kenderdine on the goal line to score. There was another kickoff and back came the same combination for another touchdown pass. Huffman was pitching strikes as his third touchdown ticket found 1Torman Beasley in the end zone for a Hoosier score and Indians was ahead. Here were two great backs, in an aerial circus par-excellence. Isbell was not to be denied and he was the pitcher again as Zachary Sock is second six-point pass for a final score of Indiana, 20; ‘Purue, . . x
ag ACT FOUR
In 1037 McMillin saw the last of the great Isbell but he left a memory he won't forget. That same combination that haunted him the year before, Isbell to Tom Zachary, was moving again. "They scored first and Frank Filchock pitching to Kende: dine gave Indiana a tie. But it was Isbell smashing home from the fiveyard line that made the final score, Purdue, 13; Indiana, 7.
’ ! ACT FIVE The year 1938 started off with a bang, a bang that startlec the motion figures huddied on the bench. A bang that made the difference between the two teams, for Jack Brown ran the kickoff back. through a surprised Indiana squad for a touchdown. Lou Brock scored
on an end sweep for Purdue and Ray Dumke did the same for Indian, but ‘that kick-off run had beaten them. Score: Purdue, 13; Indiara, 6.
ACT SIX
The gridders faded and out trotted the “ghosts” of 1939. Lou Brock crossed the double line first for Purdue to cap a 63-yard merch. Indiana came back with a 74-yard move of their own, all through the air. Harry Brooks took the third pass, a 35-yard heave, for theHoosier score. Hal Hursh was hurling. 4 Score: Purdue, 7; Indiana, 6. :
ACT SEVEN Then was re-enacted the heartbreaker of last year. A game no
Indiana fan can forget. A Rose-Ade 8 waited in silence and rain while the and Gene White carefully measured his distance. Then that moment when with 13 seconds left the’ ball was suddenly up there between the goal posts. Indiana, 3; Purdue, 0. ; ‘Came the dawn—1041. Bo and Mal, brows creased with, the worries of a haphazard season, forgot the past and looked forward to: the next few hours which would make for. one a disastrous ‘season, for the other a successful one.

Unimpeachable northern sources, meaning the gang that talks basketball at Petie’s hash house in Gary, have slipped the word around .that Coach Keith Crown has a contender this year. Crown says he has the makings, but it’s up to the boys—whether they have the heart to be champions.
