THIS IS a big week for Bob Cook and Bob Woodh, the sports publicity specialists at Indiana univery and Purdue, respectively. . . . It’s Old Oaken Bucket and these football drum: beaters really turn it on ‘that traditional game of the year in Hoosierland. Woodworth: advises that plenty of reserved seats are available for the annual classic at Lafayette Saturday and also announces n unlimited supply of general admission ducats. . . . In other words, Purdue ticket officials can almost guarantee that no one will be turned away before the 2 p. m. kickoff. Publicist Cook, in Bloomington, writes that the war cry in the Indiana camp this week is “Remember ’37.” . .. It’s a dead cinch that any fan that the rode that so-called “football special” to Bloomington that year will never forget. Now back to the Old Oaken Bucket attraction . , . from the Indiana angle. . . . As the highscoring Hoosiers get ready for the 45th game with Bushs, the “tragedy” of 1937 has been recalled : e minds of Bo McMillin’s players because of parallel between that game and the one scheduled for Ross-Ade stadium Saturday. The Hoosiers got only a fleeting glimpse of the Bucket, that celebrated symbol of supremacy—intrinsically worthless but a pot of gridiron gold to Indiana and Purdue, between the time it was placed at stake in 1925 and 1934. : © The 1925 game ended in a scoreless tie and Indiana upset the ‘Boilermakers, 7-6, in 1830. . , . During the seasons between these two dates, the Bucket made its home in Lafayette.

There Was That 20-20 Tie Thriller :

THEN CAME Bo McMillin. . , , And then came the Bucket. . . . . MeMillin’s first Hoosier eleven in 1934 knocked the Boilermakers out of a Western conference title share with a stunning 17-6 victory. . . . ‘McMillin’s surprise defense bottled up the touchdown twins, Duane Purvis and Jim Carter. | A year later, Wendell Walker passed 35 yards to Vernon Huffman for an Indiana touchdown and a 7-0 triumph. . , . The Bucket stayed in Blomington. .|. . Came 1936 and the most thrilling game . of the lang series. , . . A scoreless contest for 30 minutes, the game ~ ended in a 20-20 tie. |

Last Chance for 13 Purdue Players

NOW AGAIN, Purdue’s seniors—and there’s 13 of them—come to the Old Oaken Bucket battle without a victory over Indiana... . ‘Gene White's 37-yard place kick in the final 13 seconds gave the Hoosiers a 3-0 victory two years ago at Lafayette. Billy Hillenbrand’s touchdown, following the 14-yard pass to Wed Hasapes, left end, brought a 7-0 triumph in 1941, ~The seniors on Indiana's squad—Capt. Bob White, Earl Dolaway, : Jack Nash, Pat Ronzone, Dan Preger and Dale Swihart—have known nothing ut victory over the Boilermakers,. and they have mades a fim resolve that they never shall. , , .

But again, the Hoosiers have never won three straight since the ‘Bucket was resurrected by George Ade, of Purdue, and the late Harry Eurrie, an I. U. graduate, from a Southern Indiana well. And they have decided that the proper place for the relic is the na “Wells” House—the office of President Herman B Wells, ere the Bucket remains under lock and key.

fifth triumph in nine years. Since McMillin ‘ took over the Hoosier coaching reins in 1¢34 Indiana has won four, lost three and tied one. Before the McMillin era, the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket was a matter of Purdue pride and I. U. shame. The Boilermakers have won 24, lost 15 and tied five in the over-all 44-game series. Since the bucket became a symbol of rivalry in 1925, Purdue has won 10, Indiana has won five and two contests ended in deadlocks.

Rickey Expects

Decision Today

NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (U. P.).— President Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers, still “undecided” about who would manage his club in 1943, said he would confer again with Manager Leo Durocher tomorrow morning and have a “definite announcement regarding next year’s

pilot” in the: afternoon.

Rickey, who summoned Durocher from St. Louis for a final conference on his 1943 status, conferred with the Brooklyn pilot for several hours yesterday but announced “nothing had ‘been decided.” Durocher’s salary-— reportedly about $25,000—may be furnishing fuel for debate since baseball men in general may be expected to favor a decided retrenchment in financial policies for 1943. According to Rickey, Durocher’s draft status is no longer a subject for argument.
