Hinkle Preps Butler to Face Heavy Eastern Hlinois Forwards in Opener

With ‘three practice sessions remaining before the opening game with Eastern Illinois State Saturday at 2 p. m. in the bowl, Coach Tony Hinkle is putting the finishing touches on his Butler university Bulldogs’ offensive attack designed to penetrate the reported 214-pound wall

of the Panthers.

Since learning of the heavy Eastern team and some of its defensive

tactics Hinkle has added several new plays to the Butler “bag of tricks” in the hopes of getting his lighter backfield men through .the Panther line. Eastern should be strong at end this ‘year with Jack Miller, 194pound, 6-foot-5-inch sophomore, returning from- last year's team and added aid coming from Neal Hudson, Olney, Ill.; Bill Richey, Alton; Cox, all of Charleston, Ill. Regular Tackles Bernie Hayton, 225-pound senior, and LeeRoy LaRose, -231-pound sophomore, last year's regular tackles, are back and have lost but little weight sihce the opening of practice. Don Davisson, 200-pound junior, a letferman of pre-war days, and - Howard Barnes, 200-pound sophomore back from last year’s have. been working together at the guard positions and will start against Butler Saturday. The Panthers dre equally strong at center with the three lettermen, Vern Ingrum, 172-pound sophomore, Monte Popham, 184.pound secondyear man, and James Sexson, 205pound sophomore, ready to fill the starting position.

Saturday's attack against Illinois State when the Butler university Buylldogs open their home schedule in the Butler Bowl will be Quarter back Les Dold, 165-pound senior, a letterman from the 1942 squad.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Word has reached this sp from the usual authoritative sources that an unspeci number of Brooklyn citizens are optimistically planning to spend a few days in Boston early next month. It may develop, of course, that the plans will have to

be abandoned due to circumstances beyond the monu mental genius of Leo Durocher and his delightful Dodgers, but, as

possibility, this is too revolting to invite consideration av vhe wwoment. In any case it is the feeling here that the travel-minded citize of Brooklyn should be warned that Boston is » bit different. The}

may even find it a strange, almost an alien city, that is, by pure Flat bush standards.

» # » 2 » » » They will discover immediately that the language is different This is due not so much to ignorance as to custom. Boston is funda mentally English and the early settlers, forced to submit to tyrannic practices, had no preference as to their Janguage. By royal dictat they were compelled to adopt the King's English. This could neve have happened in fiercely independent Flatbush. Plainly it hasn’ up to now. A tree may grow in Brooklyn but not a broad A. 5 » » » » . Once the barrier of language is overcome, or mildly compromised the tourists from Brooklyn will ind much about Boston to hold thet

interest. As a suggestion, too much time should not be devoted to th language problem. Interpreters are available, their services inex pensive. .

It will be advisable, too, to disregard popular conceptions of th city and-its citizens. It is not true, for instance, that there are mo libraries in Boston than saloons or pool rooms. Another libel agains the fair-mindedness of the community is that no Princeton men ar allowed to settle there. On the contrary, the Harvard Crimson re ‘cently carried a news piece, or so it was reported, disclosing that; former Princeton all-America football players drive their own tru 4 8 8. . 4 8 No American city is more replete with dramatic reminders of I historic past. Most tourists are interested in the harbor locale of thi Boston tea party but it is to be doubted that Brooklyn guests would care about a personal close up. They may feel that since the in cident involved nothing stronger than tea its importance has bee! exaggerated, an attitude that is not altogether beyond understandin =n = ” =» » » A few hours among the Paul Revere memorials would probab be more engaging. Nowhere in this country is the horse more esteemed than in Flatbush, particularly if he gets down there in front and th price is right. Revere was the first to demonstrate that the horse come to stay. os ” ” » » » Oh, yes, Boston offers any number of points of interest and no the least of which is to be found at the ball park where the Red 80; await the world series. This is the Y. A. F.,, or Yawkey ‘Air Force composed of pigeons which patrol the outfield. More than one gam has actually been decided by their presence and, significantly, alway against the enemy club.
