ACCORDING to George Barton, veteran grid scribe f the Minneapolis Morning Tribune, Coach Eddie Anderson of Iowa believes Indiana university or Wisconsin may in the Big Nine football championship this season, LL Barton is making the rounds of the western conference camps and ts is what he picked up ‘from the chief mentor of the Hawkeyes: “Football critics in their pre-season ‘dope rated Minnesota, Northwestern, Michigdn and

Wisconsin ‘as the four strongest.teams in the ] tonference, but I don’t concur in that sizeup of

the championship race. “Both: Indiana and Wisconsin are Tossed. Each has its best, team in years, If Billy Hillenbrand's arm isn‘t seriously injured, he will lead" the Hoosiers to their most successful season.

“Bo McMillin has a squad of veterans in the |

backfield and in the line, two and three deep in Coach Anderson Very pesition. at Wisconsin with a squad topped by two of the best backs of the year, Pat Harder and Elroy Hirscher, a sophomore who is certain to "be a sensation as a runner, passer and punter. ; “Don’t be surprised if Wiscansirt knocks off Notre Dame at Madison on Sept. 26.” Incidentally, Dr, Anderson intends -entering the U. 8. army medica] corps for the duration shortly after the Hawkeyes conclude their schedule against Michigan on Nov. 28. . Towa has a tough 10-game schedule that calls for six western conterencs engagements, including Indiana at Bloomington, Oct. 24, and Purdue at Iowa

Lee Savold Gains Unpopular Verdict

DETROIT, Sept. 18 (U. P.).— Heavyweight Lee Savold from Des Moines, pounded out an unpopular 10-round decision over Tony Musto

of Chicago last 3 night before : 4500 fans at : Olympia stadium. Savold’s triumph avenged a split decision which Musto won over the Des Moines fighter in Washington, D. C,, a month ago. That decision snapped Savold’s string of professional victories at 15 straight. Savold jabbed constantly at Musto’s face during the opening rounds of a spiritless fight, to open a cut. over his opponent’s right eye. Musto became groggy in the sixth but held his feet until the tenth when Savold registered the only knockdown ' of the fight. Musto took a seven count.

. Savold weighed 193, Musto, 200.

Hole-in-One?

They are still talking about this one. When is a hole-in-one not a hole-in-one? : Sunday, Aug. 30, Dr. Dale Lentz sank his tee shot for an ace on the 12th hole at Hillcrest, John McGuire, Bill Wilkinson and Ralph Bowstrom saw him do it. On Sept. 9 Dr. Lentz hit his tee, shot two feet from the pin on “the fourth hole at Hillcrest. Harry McNeill, playing in the same foursome, hit his tee shot in a sand trap in front of the green. Using a sand wedge, McNeill blasted out with a high arch shot. The ball struck Dr. Lentz’s ball, knocking the latter into “the cup. ! McNeil, Dr. D. E. McGregor | and C. E. Malgren were Wit: nesses. It was a “once in a itn shot, but was it a hole-in-one?

Experts Give e Wihitlaway Edge In Match Race With Alsab

By. JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent "NEW YORK, “Sept. 18.—The success or failure of ‘tomorrow's match

race between. Alsab and Whirlaway at Narragansett. park, R. I, may depend upon the decisions of Jockey Georgie Woolf as he guides Whirly

around the course.

The decisions of Woolf apparently are all- -important in this test because it is perhaps the most unusual meeting in match-race history.

The race brings together two great horses who like to run off the pace —who . like to come from behind and eat up the good earth in the stretch. They are the most renowned stretch runners of their day, and some experts consider

Whirlaway the greatest stretch runner of all time. ; Woolf “the iceman” may elect to send: Whirlaway off in front and set the pace, as he did in the turfs last great match race, when he shot Seabiscuit from the barrier like a bullet and. maintdined such a killing pace in the early stages that he virtually killed War Admiral in the stretch. That contest, easily the most thrilling of the century, was staged at Pimlico, Md., on Nov. 1, 1938.

Bierman Upon Alsab

Alsab will be ridden by Carroll Bierman, an- improving young jockey who was the leading rider at the recent Suffolk Downs meeting. Bierman is expected to let Woolf make his moves and ‘then counter with Alsab’s speed ‘in the stretch. This match race—like most competitions of its kind—resulted from cancellations of other meetings. On Labor Day at Washington park the two were slated to meet, but Whirlaway suffered an eye injury in the east and Trainer Ben Jones decided not to ship him west. Then they were slated to meet in the $25,000 Narragansett special Sept. 12, but Alsab was delayed in arriving from the - midwest, and Trainer Sarge Swenke decided to withdraw him from the special, which Whirlaway won with comparative ease. Whereupon President James E. Dooley of the Narragansett Racing association cooked up tomorrow's match race and offered a purse of $25,000, winner take all. He also pledged that the track’s proceeds of the mutuels would go to army and navy relief.
