CHICAGO, Nov. 3. (U. P)—A baseball deal for $139,000 in diamond talent strengthened major league lineups today. The big transaction wasn't for a single player like “Dizzy” Dean or Joe Cronin; who have been mvolved |§ in six-figure deals, but rather for the 20 players chosen from the|= minors yesterday at the annual ma-

The Major Offers Another Grid Upset

THIS WEEK'S football letter from Maj. Amos B. Hoople, the inventor of bridge signals: “Egad! It takes the full-time intellectual capacities of an amazing man to keep up with the upsets this year. Modesty forbids my naming the one man in the world who is up to the task—harrumph! i} “You may look high and low, gentle reader, and I doubt if you'll find another prognosticator who will give you’ Navy to defeat Penn. But before you turn this upset lightly aside, please remember that it was the uncanny Hoople who predicted Illinois over Minnesota, Notre Dame over Iowa Seahawks, Minnesota over Michigan and Wisconsin over Ohio State—egad and harrumph! : “And according to the patented Hoople system Bo McMillin’s headache will be cured this week when Indiana upends Minnesota but I fear old Purdue is due for another fall before Great Lakes.

Bertelli to Toss Out Runner at Plate

«THE HOOPLE system points to 14-13 Notre Dame victory over Army. This will be decided in the ninth inning when Bertelli throws out a runner at the plate. “Speaking of plates, it’s time for lunch!

Players were drafted by 11 of the 16 major league clubs. The Chicago White Sox and - the Washington Senators were the most active, taking three ‘players each. The Philadelphia Athletics, Boston, Red Sox, St. Louis Browns, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds each chose two players. Single selections were made by the Philadelphia Phils, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs and Brooklyn Dodgers.

ed are married and have children .| —factors which seem to assure their availability for play next season. Only one clubs, the Browns, was willing to take a long-range gamble and choose a player now in the armed services. The Browns took this chance on pitcher Robert Doyle from Columbus, Ga., of the South Atlantic league. First choice in the draft went to the Phils, who selected Pitcher Albert Hodkey from Scranton of the Eastern league. Hodkey won 15 and lost eight last season.

The Prize Pick

Although well-down on the selection list many diamond observers regarded Pitcher Eddie Albosta as the prize pick of the draft. The 24-year-old right-hander went to Pittsburgh from Montreal. He won one and lost seven for the Royals last season. In 1941 Albosta fanned 192 men in 213 innings to be the strikeout king of the Piedmont league. Of| the 20 players selected; 14 have had previous major league trials. e complete list of drafted players follows:

Saturday Grid Card Red Hot

: By UNITED PRESS A revived Great Lakes footbail machine will invade Purdue next Saturday to headline in 1l-game Hoosier card that includes five Indiana college conference battles. ‘Nofre Dame battles the Army at New York, while Indiana university journeys to Minnesota for its third conference contest. The red-hot secondary school race, which has four teams bunched together with .1000 per cent ratings, is in for some severe shifting. As Valparaiso and Ball State, both with three victories and no defeats, tangle at Muncie. Wabash at Keynton Wabash, now leading the race with four triumphs, plays a nonconference opponent, Keynton college at Gambier, O. St. Joseph’s, defending league champion and winner of its first conference battle in defense of the crown last week, will play St. Norbert’s at West De Pere, Wis, in an intersectional tilt Sunday. The touchdown-crazed Eddie McGovern, who has scored 106 points in four games, was expected to run wild again when Rose Poly invades Hanover. Depauw at Earlham, Franklin at Manchester and Central Normal at Indiana State rounds out the conference card, and Toledo invades Butler in a nonconference game.

Hinkle on Home Ground Great Lakes’ off-and-on eleven was on last week in beating a good Missouri team, 17-0, but the sailors will have to maintain their crest performance to defeat Purdue's Boilermakers, who have brought up surprising power from nowhere. The battle will bring back fo Indiana an old favorite, Tony Hinkle, who coached Butler to many championships before taking over the Great Lakes team.

A year ago Wisconsin had excel lent offensive punch, scoring 188 points fh eight games. However, the Badger defense was sieve-like ahd permitted 208 points to be ‘scored against it. AER It was after losing to Ohio State in 1941 by a 46 to 34 count that Stuhldreher asked: , si} “What's a team have to do:te win a game in this conference? We scored 34 points and still got beat.” The Badger coach knows the ans swer to that question by now. The line he and Assistant Coaches George Fox and Russ Rippe have moulded supply it week after weeks In seven games this season Wise consin yielded only an aggregate of . 37 points.

All-America Choice.

On bare statistical figures the Badgers are not among the nation’s defensive leaders but most of the ground they have given has been of a “harmless” nature. For exame ple, Ohio State gained 296 yards by rushing and passing against Wisconsin but only 79 yards (was made while the Bucks had the ball in Badger territory. Dave Schreiner, a prominent alle America choice at the end of last season, is the top man in the forward wall. He's sharp at diagnosing plays, a splendid blocker and fine pass catcher. | Despite Schreiner’s brilliance howe ever, its the play of two sophomores that has made the Wisconsin line the great unif it is.
