BOB WOODWORTH, Purdue university's sports

“news bureau chief, wishes Hoosier sportsgoers to know

that the Ross-Ade stadium will provide the setting for

the most attractive home schedule in Boilermaker his-

tory this fall. Four major opponents—Fordham, Wisconsin, Great Lakes and Indiana—will invade the horseshoe structure on the Purdue campus for a series of tilts that will be packed with gridiron dynamite. In pre-season forecasts, all four of the Boilermakers’ home foes have been tabbed for high honors, either nationally or in Big Nine

competition. °

There will be no “opener” in the strict sense of the word, for the four-star home schedule starts off on Sept. 26 against Fordham’s defending Sugar Bowl champions, a rugged combination that is already being touted for No. 1 eastern honors and another bowl bid. The Rams, noted for their versatile style of attack, boast an

* unusual aggregation of veteran backs, headed by Steve Filipowicz, _ known as the “human tree stump,” a power driver and passing star, and Joe Andrejco and George Cherverko, the touchdown twins from

Hazelton, -Pa. ‘ The next home. stand will find Wisconsin providing the home-

~ coming attraction on Oct. 24 in the 27th renewal of a time-honored __geries that has been notable for its upsets. .

. « The burly Badgers. with a virtually veteran aggregation, have been ranked right behind

Minnesota in the Big, Nine title chase, with Pat Harder, leading conference scorer last season, as the wheelhorse of a hard-driving : backfield. :

: focused on the service game with the all-star Great Lakes eleven

that will provide the “Dad’s day” attraction at Purdue on Nov. 7, « « « The sailors, with a host of former collegiate and professional stars available, will be coached by Lieut. Tony Hinkle, former Butler mentor, who will feel perfectly at home directing a team against

In all probability, a number of former Hoosier collegiate stars,

Poat Wins His 15th Game Beating Columbus, 5-4, Placing Tribe at .500 Mark Again

By EDDIE ASH The Indianapolis Indians’ popular Johnny McCarthy,

first sacker de-

luxe and power hitter, today ‘was sold to the Boston Braves for an undisclosed sum of cash and two players to be selected by the Tribe|

management next year.

McCarthy was sold for 1943 delivery. He is to remain with the| Tribe for the balance of the American association season and for the | '§

Indians qualify for the extra competition. Secretary = Al Schlensker announced the details of the deal and added that the management ‘feels sure the Indians will come out all right in the transaction although regretting to depart with a star of McCarthy's caliber. It’s President Owen J. Bush's policy to help players advance to the majors. The big-time is the goal of all players and they do their best work when they know a club will not stand in the way of their promotion. McCarthy is the best first baseman in these parts for many a year. He was an unanimous choice for that position on the American as-

Alsab Favored in

American Derby

CHICAGO, Aug. 25 (U.P.).—Shut Out, one of the top 3-year-olds of the season, yesterday was scratched from the American derby, scheduled Saturday at the Washington park race track. Trainer - John N. Gave wired Benjamin Lindheimer, Washington park president, that the Kentucky derby winner would not be shipped from Saratoga. “Shut Out’s work today was not satisfactory,” Gaver wired, “apparently he has trained off and is in need of a letup.” With the removal ‘of Shut Out, Alsab probably will become the top-

heavy favorite for the rich stake. ®

Indians Annex Thriller

Last night the Indians caused the Victory field grandstand to shake as the fans put on a rooting show in the ninth as the home boys rallied to annex the series opener from. the Columbus Red Birds, § to 4. More than 3300 customers shouted and danced in the aisles as Gabby Hartnett’s Redskins pulled the game out of the fire after Columbus took a 4-to0-3 lead in its half of the final inning. Ray Poat worked the route on the Tribe mound and tacked up: his 15th victory of the season. He held the invaders to six hits, struck out eight and issued six walks. The big fellow did not allow a’ hit for six innings. In the &eventh Antonelli walked and pulled up at third on Davis’ double to right.. This was the Red Birds’ first blow. On Young’s grounder, Antonelli was nipped trying to score, Bestudik to Schlueter to Bestudik. Poat then disposed of the next two men. | Meanwhile, the Indians were riding along on a .2-t0-0 lead as a result of getting to Preacher Roe in the fourth on McCarthy's : triple to center, Bestudik’s single, Skelley’s walk and Schlueter’s double. The birds tied it up in the eighth on Myatt’s safe bunt, an error by McDowell, Gleeson’s safe bunt, a double . out and Antonelli’s single. The Indians bounced back in their eighth and regained the lead, 3 to 2, on English’s single and Schlueter’s second double.” In the Columbus ninth Young flew out and Heath walked. Brecheen ran for Heath and M batted for the pitcher.

That Winning Rally

Brecheen stole second as the pinch hitter fanned and Myatt rammed a triple to the left field corner, scoring Brecheen, and Myatt also scored when Schlueter muffed the throw in. English in left was slow in fielding the drive as he slipped and fell on his first effort to intercept it. : Taking their last bats and one run behind, 4 to 3, the Redskins got going after one out. McDowell singled and Moore, . batting for Seeds, walked.. McCarthy slashed a single to right, scoring McDowell with the tying run and Moore reached third. McCarthy took second on the throw in and the Birds handed Bestudik

Favor Indiana

For ’43 Meet

.By UNITED PRESS A number of A. A. U. officials who attended the national junior and Shakamak open A. A. U. swimming carnival at Shakamak state park last week-end, indicated today they would favor selection of the Indiana site for the 1943 women’s national A. A. U, meet. : At least, it was understood, Shakamak will be considered when the time comes for selecting a site for the important 1943 meet. Located in Greene, Clay and Sullivan counties near Jasonville, the Shakamak course is regarded by swimmers and divers.as one of the best and safest swimming courses in the country. Because of Indiana’s centralized location, A. A, U. officials pointed out, the park would offer the best and shortest transportation routes for a wartime tourney. : The park has one of the few 10 meter platforms in the Midwest and the water is deep enough to offer safety to divers. It was understood sponsors of the annual Shakamak meet would set about immediately to obtain funds necessary to bring the A. A. U. program to Indiana,

His opponents in this divi sion are Talbert, ranked 10th in the nation; Greenberg, Segura . and Everett. % - Miss Brough leads the lower.division of the women’s singles, which attracted a field of 60.
