‘THE INDIA

SPORTS

By Eddie Ash

JOHN BOCHNICKA of North Judidn, Ind, will be

\ 4

playing his first regulation football game when he steps into one of the Indiana guard positions against Butler’s

Bulldogs at Bloomington, Sept. 26. - Although he was twice the Golden Gloves boxing champ ‘at Gary, Ind, and was a basketball star at his home town, Boshnicka never wore football cleats until he came fo Indiana. During a hitch-hiking trip, he was “picked up” by Bob Matthews, : former I. U. guard, who is now a physician. ... Matthews interested him in both football and Indiana university. . . . Indiana coaches believe Bochnicka has what it takes in physical equipment to become

an outstanding lineman.

Bo McMillin, Indiana’s football coach, staits his ninth year-~ 8 as dean of the active Western conference grid mentors. ; McMillin became the veteran of Big Nine coaches when Bernie Bierman turned the Minnesota job over to his assistant, George Hauser, after being recalled into the srmed forces. . , . Bo began ng term at I. U. in-1934.

J U. Junior Guard Is Versatile - RUSSELL DEAL of Bicknell, Ind, Indiana junior guard, has

3 really “been around” a

as a football player. . .

. Deal was a fullback

on offense and a tackle on defense as an all-state high school player . at Bicknell, . +. As an Indiana freshman, he played at one of the end positions, . . . This fall he will be a guard, and a regular.

_ Minnesota and Ohio State, a couple of the powerhouse teams of ‘the Western conference, replace Northwestern: and Wisconsin

as ‘the Big Nine opponents on Indiana's 1942 football schedule. ‘Butler, Pittsburgh and Kansas State succeed Detroit, Notre Dame and Texas Christian as the three non-conference foes. . . « Service games with the Iowa Seahawks and Ft. Knox bring the Indiana schedule to 10 games, the biggest—and roughest—card ever arranged for an I. U. grid team.

As Usual, Ben Hogan Leads

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 14 (U. MW) —Ben Hogan, one of golf's best money players, leads the field into the second round of the TimesUnion $5000 open golf tournament today with a four-stroke advantage. The Hershey, Pa. shot-maker fired a six-under-par 64 to set a new course record in yesterday's

| opening 18-hole round. Sam ‘Byrd,

former Yankee outfielder, posted’ a 68 to hold second, a stroke ahead of Jug McSpaden, Jimmy Demaret, Horton Smith and Harry Bettelbladt of Avon, Conn. Hogan occupied the gallery's attention almost exclusively, particularly from the 13th through the 15th, when he scored three successive birdies to go eight under par. But on the long, narrow fairway of the 17th, Ben ran—-intc some bad fortune. He drove under a tree, tried to hook out a recovery and failed. Then he took a two-over-par six to spoil his chances of

NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (U., P).— Bob Montgomery, Negro lightweight coniender of Philadelphia, and veteran Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh, former former welter: weight champion, were back in the championship 3 today in their respective divisions by virtue of triumphs registered before 14,564 fans at Madison Square Garden. Montgome ty, who lost a close decision last month to Lightweight champion - Sammy. Angott, won an easy 10-round decision over Bobby Ruffin of New York, floorirtg him for the count of eight in the seventh round. Zivic registered a sixth-round technical knockout over youthful Corp. Garvey Young of the marines, who last spring won a non-iitle decision over Welterweight Champidn Freddie Cochrane—the same Cochrane who took the title from Zivic in July, 1941. It was Young's first professional defeat, snapping his victory string at 31 straight. Referee Young Otto halted the bout between rounds, before the bell had rung ior the seventh, because Young was bleeding so badly

Mrs. Mann, winner of the Western crown in 1933 and 1941, and the runner-up for the title in 1932, is bothered by a heavy cold and has been under a physician’s care for the last two days. However, her ailment hasn’t affected her golf game too severely. The Omaha star meets Mary Agnes Wall of Menominee, Mich, in one of today’s. semi-final matches. Mrs. Mann conquered Mrs. H. M. Sims of St. Paul, Minn, 4 and 2, yesterday and played back to" the brilliant form that enabled her to equal the Sunset Ridge Country club course record in the qualifying round Monday when she shot a 77. Yesterday the defending titalist was out in 37, one under par, and needed only par on the two unplayed holes to tie the course mark again. See-Saw Duel ”

The defending titalist put herself in a jam at the outset of her match with Mrs. Sims by losing the first hole when she inadvertently cleaned her ball on the green. But she came back to square the match at the fourth hole and went ahead at the 8th. From then on the issue was never in doubt. Outside the hole she won on a penalty, Mrs. Sims took only one other, the 14th. Miss Wall won the first hole of her match from the 18-year-old

In the finals last season at Highland Park, Ili, “Mrs. Mann downed Miss Wall 4 and 3. Miss Jameson, winner of the National title in 1939 and 1940 and victor in the Western open here earlier this season, was forced to survive a see-saw duel with Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta, Ga. before she won 2 and 1. After being all square at-the end of nine holes, the methodical Texas girl sank a 15-foot putt for a birdie on the 10th hole to take a lead she never relinquished. She won the 16th with a par five and ended the match on the 17th green, when’ the hole was halved with bogey fours,

Four years in the fullback slot for the Fightin’ Irish brought him the distinction of being adjudged Notre Dame’s greatest fullback by Frank E. Hering, first - official |:

An All-American

In his years of collegiate play, ‘Piepul fumbled but twice and lost yardage only five times. Besides toting the pigskin, he was known as a vicious blocker and tackler, an accurate passer, a punter and placekicker, For his outstanding grid performances he was named to several mythical all-American elevens in the 1939-40 seasons. The elevens included those of Grantland Rice, Bill Sterns, Ted Huesing and Kate Smith. He also was named to the Indiana all-state teams of 1939

In 1940 he was picked as one of the members of the all-East team to: oppose the all-West squad in the Shriner San Francisco tilt. He did not play, however, as his studies at Notre Dame interfered.

First Game Sept. 11

But he did do his bit in the Chicago Fribune all-star game the following year. A graduate of Cathedral high ‘school in Springfield, Mass., Piepul lettered in all major sports. In college he confined his activities to the gridiron only. Thursday Coach Piepul will en.train with 40 members of the Cathedral squad for Camp Gridley
