SPORTS By Eddie Ash
BO McMILLIN’S “pore little boys” have: grown up and now he defies any football team to match strides with _ what he has under his wing at Bloomington. . . . It was Bo _ at his best in ‘a talk before the Indiznapolis Indiana ~ Alumni association at the Columbia club yesterday.

‘Hoosiers stated that although the Crimson grid squad was a little thin up in front he wouldn’t trade backfields with any team, and, barring injuries ‘to key men, predicted an “Indiana year.” #1 think we’ll have a great season,” he said, “one of the best “In years, the kind of season you have been ~ patiently wailing for and that you have com"ing to you. er . “The spirit at Indiana is 100 per cent and the boys are in splendid physical condition.

Hoosier classic and called it silly to count that one in the bag for Indiana ahead of the start of the season. “Evidently the football dopesters overlook the fact that Purdue is loaded with lettermen and is sure to have that ‘extra’ lift that a new coach usually inspires.

Michigan Over Great Lakes by a Shade
Great Lakes, scourge of the servics ‘teams in world war I, invades Ann Arbor for a corking clash with Michigan.

The Final Blow Is on Its Way
Warns Writers To Let Army Sports Alone
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent: NEW YORK, Sept. 22—We suggest that the various sports columnists stop trying to tell the men in charge of army public relations
during the war. We make this suggestion because, during the past week, we have been exposed to a couple of columns which insinuate that the possible continuation of professional sports during the next yeaf would be a

But we are confident that the men at the head of the public relations bureaus of the army, navy and other service branches know more about what should be done with sports during the war than any civilian sports columnist whose outlook may be governed entirely by what:the war may mean to him personally. Smart Decision There have been insinuations, for example, that the payment of money to Sergt. Joe Louis and Pvt. Billy Conn for engaging in a heavyweight title battle on Oct. 13 will have an adverse effect upon the morale of all athletes in service and the civilian population. ‘Without disclosing any: military secrets, we can tell you now that that matter of paying ' Champion Louis for this title defense was considered for months by the most able minds in the war department— brass hats far above the public relations division. Beéause of certain aspects of the Louis case, the decision to pay Joe was one of the smartest ever made—a decision affecting the morale of millitary persons in service and out. : This very touchy question of morale as it affected a large and important sector.of our fighting and

For the Flopping Flatbushers; Cards May Clinch Thursday
By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent
struck but apparently it is on the way for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Thursday—Friday at the latest—the National league pennant should belong to the St. Louis Cardinals. Today the Cardinals have five more games to play and the Dodgers six. The Red Birds now hold a 2%-game lead Qver he JSopping Flatbushers and any combination totaling four will give them the flag. Even if Brooklyn wins all its remaining ~ contests, the Cardinals have only 10 win three to clinch a tie. A single Dodger defeat and three St. Louis triumphs would bring the
Brooklyn losses and a brace of Scarlet successes would also end it. Taking into account the opposition both teams face in the next three days, Thursday should see the end.
