(Pinch Hitting for Eddie Ash Whe Is On Vacation) CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Purdue’s Cecil Isbell, who learned his football in Texas and came north to make it pay, today solved one of the toughest problems of the

coaching business—finding standout performers to replace departed stars. A Texas-schooled passer who rose to fame with Purdue and the Green Bay Packers, Isbell will launch his new career as head coach Saturday when his Purdue Boilermakers open a tough 10game schedule against heavily-manned Great Lakes. 4 's game will not only test Isbell’s first coaching product but will test his judgment in fullback Ed Cody, who was a freshman regular with Boston college in 1942, and quarterback Ray ie a. minor letterman of last year who will handle Isbell’s “T"

J » o - Banks On His Two Selections

WITH A Big Ten co-championship to defend, Isbell il ride or fall with his fullback and quarterback selections. : Isbell stepped into a tough spot this year. He was backfield coach of the undefeated, untied Purdue team of 1943 and did much to develop quarterback Sam Vacanti and ‘All-American fullback Tony Butkovich—the driving force of the Boilermakers’ high-scoring team. _ When he took over Elmer Burnham's job this fall many star linemen had moved along as had Vacanti and Butkovich, A T-formation usually wins or loses with the play of the quarterback and fullback, and Isbell has worked hard this fall with Cody and Schultz. He apparently is ready now to stake his first-year Tesults on their play.

g AN ARMY dischargee, Cody may be the man to make Purdue a _ thampionship contender. A 200-pounder, the New Britain, Conn., boy is quick-footed and fast enough to be a touchdown threat every time he breaks through the line. Hunting for a passer, Isbell hit on Schultz and stuck by him through the early practice. The youthful coach showed Schultz, another 200-pounder who is a proven blocker, all the tricks that made him great and now Isbell is sure his hand-moulded passer will gome through against Great Lakes. : Rounding out the backfield will be Babe Dimanchef!, Purdue's No. 1 ball carrier from Indianapolis Washington who ranked sixth ¢ In the Big Ten 35 i ushep last year, and Chalmer (Bump) Elliott, team’s handy-Andy who is a ood kicker an ~ @xceptional runner.

Morris MeCarty to Serve as Acting THSAA Commissioner

‘Morris E. McCarty, Lafayette, president of the board of control of the Indiana High School Athletic association, temporarily will serve as commissioner until the election of a successor to Arthur L. Trester who died Monday. The board met. today to elect a successor, but postponed action. “Out of respect for the great work he (Mr. Trester) has done in making the association what it is today we will wait some time

before ‘attempting to fill his position,” Mr. McCarty said as the meeting opened. Three men had been mentioned as possible successors to Mr. Trester. They were Fred R. Gorman, assistant principal at Tech; K. V. Ammerman, Broad Ripple principal, and Mark C. Wakefleld, acting supervisor of phy: education in Evansville public schools. Mr. Trester was buried yesterday in Crown Hill,

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. 21 (U. P.).—Indiana’s hopes for a suc=céssful opening of the 1944 Big Ten football season against Illinois Saturday were boosted sky-high today with .the announcement that Bob (Hunchy) Hoernschemeyer, Indiana’s great freshman back of 1943, is back in Hoosier uniform. Hoernschemeyer was the Big Ten’s No. 1 passer last year when he pitched for a .453 completion percentage, He has been granted a special navy discharge and will play against Illinois at Champaign. He had: been stationed at the Bainbridge, Md. naval academy, preparatory to entrance. According to Bainbridge officials, Hoernschemeyer now will take his entrance examinations next April.

Return of Hoernschemeyer Boosts Hopes of Crimson

The passing star's return throws Saturday's football picture out of focus. Indiana Coach Bo McMillin said that Bob Miller, Chicago freshman, will start at left halfback, Hoernschemeyer's old position. Hoernschemeyer will see some ac-

tion against the Illini, McMillin |

said. : Another piece of bad news for

Illinois was the return of J. C. Cof-|.

fee, veteran Indiana Negro guard, who has been out with a shoulder injury. The Indiana-Illinois game, the only Big Ten game Saturday, takes top billing this week. Other Midwestern games are: Michigan at Marquette (night) Iowa Pre-Flight at Minnesota, Purdue at Great Lakes, and DePauw at Northwestern, tomorrow night.

Scoring in local bowling loops remained far below par last night. Although the Indianapolis league was in session at Pritchett’s only

one soloist, Paul Fields, passed the 650 mark. Fields, in pacing 13 bowlers who reached the 600 mark in the league's matches, rolled 243, 247, 204—604, the top series of the séa-| gon in the Indianapolis circuit. He was in action with Gold Medal Beer, who turned in the best team series of the evening, a 2043. Two of the feague’s teams, HerflJones and Curtiss-Wright, were unable to complete their serigs be-

NEW YORK, Sept. 21 (U. P)—

| Prank (Stubby) Overmire of the

Detroit Tigers, a little man with a long memory, awaited his chance today to gain revenge against the New York Yankees—a chance he has awaited for a year. The Yankees are reeling on their heels now, all but mathematically out of the American league pen-

The fact that he pitched credhurler, Spud Chandler, didn’t mini-

'venge and today the situation is reversed. The Tigers aren't going to clinch the pennant, yet—but no matter what the Yankees do, they aren’ likely to be the team to beat them out of it. Presuming that the Tigers are due for a slump and that they may play no better than .500 baseball in their remaining 12 games, which isn't likely, the Yankees now four games behind would have to win 10 out of 12 to tie them and 11 out of 12 to win, The case of the Boston Red Sox is even more hopeless. Six games off the pace they would have to win all 12 of their remaining games to tie the Tigers if Detroit broke even and couldn’t win under last any circumstances unless the league |off leaders’ dropped below. .500.
