Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola :

PENCIL POINTS: Fine way to treat Hoosier motorists in Pennsylvania, Gov. John 8. Fine. John V. Barnett and Howard Friend, tax experts of the Indiana State Chamber of¢Commerce, had a $13.50 brush with a constable and

Justice of the peace in the little village of Gaines, Pa., that brought out asbestos envelopes and paper. The (wo men and their § wives were returning from Shawnee, Pa. where they attended a government research workers convention, . Near Gaines, out pops a | Constable E.” W, Brown. He arrests John for going “too fast for conditions.” The Hoo- , | slers are flabbergasted. ) Before Justice of the Peace ? Donald P, Wilson they learn Mr. Sovola the fine will be $10 and costs, an additional $3.50. Constable Brown’s jurisdiction extends, they also learned, “quite a fur piece down the road.” The tax experts, familiar with speed traps of old in Indiana, which have been abolished, tlaim it was a flagrant abuse of law enforcement. The Governor of Pennsylvania and the head of the state police have been forwarded the details. You're right, John, we don't have to take that stuff “lying” down.

Both were waiting for room service to bring the food . .. Ava meanwhile sucking a leriypap, 3 “How long've you been married now?” I asked va, “Ten months in about a week,” she said. “Twelve months on Nov. 7, A whole fat year. Anybody want a lollypop?” The phone rang, Ava took it and invited the caller to come up. “Honey,” said Ava. “Yeah, baby,”—from Frank. “It’s Billy.” “I've got to get him a suit,” Frank said. Billy Grimes, her young nephew from Smithfield, N. C,, a student at the University of North Carolina, was here on vacation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20—One of the holdovers from the last war, burst into full bloom during the last seven years, is the “briefing” conference ~—-the solemn gathering where all the news people are summoned to learn the deepest lowdown, with one slight exception. You aren't supposed te print what you hear. This is the blood-brother to that wonderful phrase, “off the record,” which is so liberally used on high today. Its cousin is the communique, and its’ tincle is the press release. And the whole family has one function—the ducking of honest answers to honest questions. The “briefing” thing is when some brass hat ealls in all the boys and admonishes them not to breathe a word, but here is the picture, for your information, so you understand the future course of events, and so on until nausea sets in, This accomplishes two or three things. ah FIRST OFF, the information so tenderly cherished is all over town in an hour, and leaks to some gossipist or visiting yokel who busts it wide open to the embarrassment of all the pros who got sucked into the imposed silence of the briefing. Next, what the great man had to say probably wasn't very important anyhow, but serves to hang a set of mental handcuffs on the more responsible reporters present. And, finally, it gives the politico or the military mogul a big

Dishing the Dirt By Marguerite Smith

Q—T1 started some African violet leaves in water. They rooted but when I put them in sandy soil they turned brown and died. Mrs. Harry Stants, Edinburg. A-—-You have lots of company in this particular difficulty. It's a ticklish step to get water started plants used to soil. Try either of these two methods. After roots appear add a little soil to the water the leaf is growing in. Every three or four days add a little more earth. At the end of two weeks you should have the water container full of earth, Then lift the plant and pot it. Second method which I tried recently (and it works well) is to pot up the leaf after it is well rooted. Use loose’ rich soil rather than a quick drying sandy soil. Then keep it very wet for several days. 1 let water stand around these newly potted leaves for at least a day. Then cut down on the water as fast as you can. The wilting of the parent leaf will show whether it needs more water.

SCRIPPS-HOWARD FOOTBALL ROUNDUP . . . (Midwest) —

25 Intersectional Games To Show

Midwest's Football Stre

By JACK CLOWSER Sports Writer, The Cleveland Press

THE BIG TEN is not bashful on the score. It claims to play the toughest brand of collegiate football in

he country’ No arguments emanate from the Pacific Coast Conference, which has seen its champions fall six straight times before the Big Ten's Rose Bowl representatives. However, fans in the Southwest and Southeastern Conference areas are not convinced, so perhaps the 1952 schedules may clarify the issue. Members of the Big Ten, plus the leading Midwest independent Notre Dame, are due for 25 intersectional contests this season. This is a form of ‘warning, since the Western Conference area expects to field very outstanding squads at Michigan State, Illinois, Notre Dame, Purdue and Wisconsin. The Spartans of Michigan State, although competing in dll other Big Ten championship races, do not officially énter the football melee until 1953. This

"is because league schedules are

drawn up four years in advance and the Spartans can’t get the required minimum of five league games until next year.

” = » SO, TO this observer at least, Defending Champion Illinois would seem like the soundest wager for the '52 gridiron crown. This despite, the fact that Illini have not been repeters since the days of Red Grange and Earl Britton. Both Illinois and Michigan State went unbeaten last season, and the Spartans, although hampered by severe graduation losses, seem well heeled again. In fact, they may wind up with the best won-and-lost record in this area. There’ll be plenty of “cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame” this time, although Frank Leahy’'s lads may stub. their toes on the most arduous schedule they have essayed in many years. The Irish were deep in freshmen and sophomores last year in both the offensive and defensive platoons. : With experience, very rugged as and juniors. Purdue has its finest prospects since the 1943 wartime team that went unbeaten. Wisconsin, now thoroughly grounded in Coach Ivy Williamson's techniques and boasting excellent organization, might grab the flag it nearly caught the last two seasons.

” " ~ GREAT NAMES like Vie Janowicz and Johnny Karras are not plentiful on the Big Ten rosters, however. This" should be a year of less individual prowess and more notable cohesiveness in the teamwork department: Prospects are, for huge crowds, with Michigan and Ohio State continuing to hold their places as the No.-1 and 2 drawing cards. Advance ticket sales at some schools are amazing. At Purdue, they are 65 per cent ahead of last year.

Michigan State THE SPARTANS, in addition to losing some of their greatest stars on the field, lost a very capable backfield coach when Lowell (Red) Dawson became head coach at Pitt, Still, Clarence (Biggie) Munn has established a very wellgrounded football dynasty at Lansing, and will be ready for anything. If Michigan State gets by the first one-third of its schedule, against Michigan, Oregéh State and the Texas Aggies, it might go all the way again, just as in ’'51. Of course, the big perils continue in November, when Purdue and Notre Dame are due. But by then the Spartans should be set.

o ” » ONLY QUARTERBACK Al Dorow is lost from the starting offensive backfield, and the competition is terrific. Capt. Don McAuliffe, crunching left half, probably will have to split time with elusive Leroy Boldin. Fullback Dick Panin, who slit Notre Dame's throat on the opening play last season, has intensive rivals in Wayne Benson and Evan Slonac. Veterans Vince Pisano and Billy Wells are neck-and-neck at right half, Tom Yewcic, who threw the last-minute pass that beat Ohio State in '51, is heir-ap-parent at quarterback. Paul Dekker, big offensive end; Linebacker Dick Tamburo, and Guard Frank Kush, shifted from defense to offense this year, are hot’ candidates for honor tegms. Defensive Ends Don Dohoney and Ed Luke are particularly rugged, and the defensive backfield returns intact. Jim Ellis, superb puntreturner, is ready to break up games again, linois COACH RAY ELIOT, champion exhorter, must get his squad in tip-top mental and physical condition by the second game with Wisconsin. The Illini were fortunate to scrape by the Badgers year, 14-10.

PIGSKIN POWER—Helping to keep Hoosier football in the national limelight this fall will be (left to right) Pete Russe, Indiana tackle Johnny Lattner, Notre Dame halfback, and Bernard Flowers, Purdue end. :

quarterback Tommy O'Connell. ft Half Pete Bachouras and llback Bill Tate probably will be augmented by veteran Ronnie Clark or Sophomore Clarence DeMoss. As usual, the Illinois line will be on the light side, but very quick. Standouts include Defensive Ends Cliff Waldbeser and Andy Wodziak, Guards Don’ Ernst and Bob Lenzini, Tackles Bob Weddell and Bucky Tate and Center Dan Sabino. Herb Neathery and Al Brosky rank with the best defensive backs in the nation.

Purdue COACH STU HOLCOMB’S entire offensive backfield is ready again, plus five members of the offensive line. The Boilermakers recruited exceptionally well during the last calendar year, and may go all the way to Pasadena this year. If they do, Quarterback Dale Samuels will be a top AllAmerica candidate. He has a very fast backfield around him, including speedsters Phil 'Kiezek, Rex Brock and Max Schmaling, dashman fullback. An abundance of excellent material is on hand for the guards and tackles, but there is a greenish tinge at the ends, and a new center, Walt Cudzik, - has replaced Clint Knitz, the fron man. “d If Purdue whacks Ohio State Oct. 4, they'll be on their way.

Notre Dame SPEAK optimistically about 1952 in the presence of Coach Frank Leahy, and he'll haul out a copy of his schedule. It includes an opener at Penn, touted as best in the east, then such choice foes as Texas, Purdue, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan State and USC. Nevertheless, if the Irish can escape injuries to key men, they may return to the top of the national heap. Offensive punch should be sharp, with great backs like Johnny Lattner, Paul Reynolds, Neil | Worden and Joe Heap surrounding Ralph Guglielmi at quarterback. Lattner earns Leahyis praise as “one of the finest all-around backs we have ever seen.” Capt. Jack Allessandrini, likely to Be an offensive guard instead of a linebacker this year, leads an array of veteran forwards. Tab Frank Szymanski as one of the country’s best linebackers.

Wisconsin THE BADGERS seem to have just about everything necessary except an experienced quarterback to replace Johnny Coatta. Gust Vergetis, a chunky boy, and Mario Bonofiglio are best bets. Most of the offensive line is back, which means devastating backs like Alan Ameche and Jerry Witt should have another big season. Ameche i= the 210-pound thunderer who broke the Big Ten rushing record in ’51 when only a freshman. Witt led the league in scoring. If Harland Carl enjoys a campaign free from injuries, the Badgers will be completely sensational. Capt. George O'Brien and Clarence Stensby at the guards, Art Prchlik and Dave Suminski at tackles are holdover regulars on offense. Three of the toughest are in the defensive platoon, with Iinebacker Bob Kennedy high on Coach Ivy Williamson's rave list. End Don Voss and Guard Roger Dornburg are exceptional, too.

Northwestern HERE'S THE prize dark horse of the Big Ten race. For the first time since he returned to his alma mater, Coach Bob Voigts hasn't had to do a big rebuilding job. If the Wildcats were sure Quarterback Don Burson’ passing would-be a little less erra‘tie, they could be rated with the tanveriles. There are letter-

men for every position, en both offense and defense, 14 having been regulars on one of the two platoons last year. Chuck Hren, bulldozing fullback, is top ball-carrier with support from Clarence Johnson and Halfbacks Johnny Hill, Wally Jones, Bob Lauter and Chuck Bennett. The line is big and experienced. Ray Huizenga, 235pound tackle, is an All-Amer-ica prospect. 80 USC, the opening game foe, had best beware.

Ohio State FOR ONE rather odd reason, the Buckeyes may do better in. Coach Woody Hayes' second year. Every forecaster billed them to be sensational last year—either national or Big Ten champions. They lost three and were tied once. With no abnormal pressure this time, Ohio may go rather well, even though Vic Janowicz and a host of fine players have departed. Hayes has switched to the Split-T, and the Bucks demonstrated in their spring intrasquad game they not only like it, but handle it well. Sophomore quarterback John Borton, linébacker last fall, looks like the key man. Another sophomore, stocky Bobby Watkins, has progressed like a whirl wind, and should ‘be a running sensation at right half. Tony Curcillo, quarterback two years, has been moved to right half. Capt. Bernie Slwarka and fleet Fred Bruney are likely to divide the left half job. The fullback post is wide open, with three lettermen available.

There ig”a scarfity of tackle veterans\ gince Joe Campanella cast his with the profes-

sional Cleveland Browns, and ‘Ohio may be a little thin up front, except at the ends. But Jim Hietikko, 228, is a standout tackle. Michigan MIGHTY MICHIGAN is in the second year of a reconstruction period. Last year unhappy season, which brought more losses than victories, should be improved upon, but not sensationally. Principal reason ‘would be lack of a first-class tailback who can throw well. Sophomores Don Evans and Don Eaddy, plus a pair of juniors who have yet to win a letter, Ted Kress and Bob Hutley, are contesting for the post, Much depends on Duncan McDonald, sophomore quarterback who can pass well but has difficulty adapting himself to the single wing. There will be less trouble at other backfield spots, but in the line, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan has to plug a lot of offensive holes. All-Big Ten Lowell Perry remains as one of the country’s slickest pass receivers, But this doesn’t look like the time for Michigan to ascend the heights again.

Minnesota WES FESLER, who jumped from the Ohio State frying pan and surprised everyone by assembling a pleasing team his first year at Minnesota, is handicapped one way. They've started to whisper “This might be the season for the big comeback.” Actually, Fesler will need another year or two. He undertook’ more than an overnight job, even though in Paul Giel he uncovered a truly sensational sophomore last autumn, Giel is a triple-threater of topdrawer proportions, and at left half, he. puts the go in the

Gophers. His passes gained al- -

most 700 yards in 1951. There no longer is ‘a list of behemoths at Minnesota, Fesler has sacrificed some size for »~ increased speed, and it is paying off. Fullback Mel Holme is an example. In the line, a horde of lettermen have been reinforced by Harry Coates, a fine guard who has switched from - the Naval Acgdemy,

Indiana BERNIE CRIMMINS, a football brain, left Notre Dame to become head coach for the Hoosiers, and he has surrounded himself with a capable staff. Indiana football ‘will be on the uptrend, but it will take two or three years for the new regime to get into high gear. There is no lack of backfield talent, but the line is a question mark. Two good quarterbacks, Lou D’Achille and Dick Ashburner, will direct the Tformation attack to which has been added some Split-T. Capt. Gene (Pat) Gedman 18 an outstanding fullback, and in lettermen Pete Fisher, Bill Holzbach, Bill Dozier and Jerry Ellis the halfback jobs boast competent operatives. Sam Talarico, veteran tackle hurt in the first game last year and unavaliable thereafter, will help Pete Russo and Harry Jagielski make the line fairly formidable,

mon’'s days, is back in the Western Conference after notable success at Washington State.

The Hawks probably have less real Western Conference material than any other school. Also, everything has been switched from the T to the single wing. From the team that finished last in the league, 22 lettermen departed.
