off: 1:30 p. m. (Indianapolis Hime), ieials, Referee, Tom, Banas, Russel The “Iron Key” swings back into circulation here" tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 as Tony Hinkle’s Butler university Bulldogs and Glen Harmeson's Wabash Little Giants tangle in what could be the “championship” battle of the Indiana Intercollegiate conference. In the battle for the Iron Key, which started in 1033 with a Wabash victory, the Cavemen have

won 2 ‘and tied 2, with the remaining six contests going to Butler. Saturday will be the first attempt to add a link to the trophy since 1042 when the Little Giants won, 6 to 0. Passes Wet Ball The success of the Butler offense lies in the strong passing arm of Jim MeLinn and the powerful legs of Francis Moriarty, During the) week Hinkle has had McLinn pass-| ing a wet, muddy ball in anticipa- | tion of bad weather tomorrow. . | The Bulldog mentor also has had extensive punting drills after hearing his scouts report on the punt-, ing of Jay Gray, freshman stand-| out from New Castle. In the Centre| game last Saturday Gray stood on | his own goal line and punted out! of bounds on the Centre 28, Outstanding in the Wabash offense is Jim - Allerdice, a junior from Indianapolis Shortridge. Allerdice leads the Little Giants in scoring and ground gaining. Thus far this season only one touchdown has been scored on Wabash despite a line average of 185 pounds, a little lighter than most college teams. : Coach Harmeson heightened the hopes of Little Giant followers earlier in the week by announcing the return to practice of Ronald Montgomery, quarterback from Pittsboro who had been out with a fractured foot; Mel Pfeifer, halfback from Melrose Park, Ill, who has had a leg injury, and Pierce Green, Crawfordsville right end, who had a dislocated elbow. Still on the doubtful list are

Quarterback Ben Raimondi, Fullback Pete Pihos and either Mel Groomes or Bobs Cowan at right halfback. Carl Depasqua, the Panthers’ fleld general, will start at quarterback in the Pittsburgh backfield. fone of a bumper crop of outstanding “yearlings” on Coach Feslegs first Pitt eleven, Depasqua does the punting for the Panthers as well as calling the plays. It was his punt| that rolled out of bounds on the Purdue two-yard line that led to a Pittsburgh safety against the Boilermakers last week. The line smashes of fullback Bill Bruno and the passes of halfback Bill Lee are featured in the Pittsburgh offensive.

By JOE WILLIAMS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer BALTIMORE, Md.,, Nov. 1.—The Navy-Notre Dame football game tomorrow does not figure to be exactly a struggle of Titans but since the. Midshipmen are regarded as home folks here .and Notre Dame is Notre Dame, it will" be what is known as a gala, anyway.’ The Tars have dropped four in a row after winning a one-touch-down decision over Villanova in the opening game of their schedule and it is not conceivable that there can be any - enormous amount of optimism among their supporters.

lon the contrary, there are mant-

festations of dark despair even in circles which normally could be countéd on for the ultimate frenzy in the old school tie spirit. One of the local writers, for instance, gleefully applaudes the fact that Notre Dame is arriving with only 36 men. “This means,” beams, “Navy will not be insulted by having the Irish play 'em with their fourth team because there won't be any fourth team.” And Capt. Tom Hamilton; the “We'll let

them have our No. 2 shot.” The

explanation of this cryptic remark]

seems to be that the Navy coach has decided to hold his No. 1 shot

for the Army game which closes pgrticipating schools will be Broad

The Boilermakers, handicapped | by early season injuries to key men, hit the comeback trail as they tied Ohio State two weeks ago and then went on to defeat Pittsburgh in a [breath-taking finish last Saturday.| In attempting to continue on ‘the comeback trail against the favored | Badgers, Coach Cecil Isbell's unabashed crew will be striving to even the all-time series with Wisconsin, as well as to pull up on even terms for the current season.
