GOPHERS HAVE BILLED' S.C.ORPHEUMS

YANKS OUGHT TO TAKE BIG SERIES HANDILY

By DOUBLE PASS The East Chicago Gopher football club will open their season Sunday, Oct. 1. asalnst the fast South Chicago Orpheums, who last year lost only one game.

The fast Chicago Gophers last year were tlie champions of the middie weight division. A cup standing over two feet high was awarded '.o them. The cup will be on display in one of the local bank windows in a few days. The manager of the Gophers has had a hard time booking a Fame owing to the fact that the Gophers beat everything in sight. The South Chicago Orpheums have It doped out that if they can defeat the Gophers they can walk away with any club that is in the middle weight division. The Hammond Scatenas have approached the Gopher management several t!m"s trying to book a game

for Thanksgiving Day and Manager Shank insists that w- play at Hammond. The Gophers cannot play at Hammond on this day, as Thanksgiving Day s a home day for the East Chicago champs The lineup of the Gophers will be practically the same as last year. Walter Conroy, last year's star of the Gophers, has joined the Pullman Tanthers the old T. T. T.s. We wish Conroy ail the luck in the world. Stitch Kider. star end for the Gophers will be back in his old position. In practice Sunday morning, Rider sure showed the old time form. Picking forward passes out of the air b Rider is like a frog falling off a log. We have with us Chuck Loyd. one time player en the East Chicago high school squad and also star end for the White Eagles last year. Herb Hill, who played for the Scatinas of Hammond last year, has signed with the Gophers. Word has been passed around that Dr. Clarence S'.cffes would not

appear on the Gopher lineup. Let all the football fans ease their minds right new, because Dr. Clarence will be cut ther.? with the rest. Dr. Steffes has the reputation of being the best center and end in Lake county. Pinky Qulnn, who last Sunday played with? the Dodgers ar.d who was mostly responsible for winning the game, will be seen on the Gopher lineup. In last Sunday's game when Pinky played against the Koscland team, he broke up all their plays. Time and time again they started a steam roller play to crush Pinky and try to get him out of the Fame. But Pinky was there, to stop them all. Bobby Darrow, the brainy quarter back,' has tho team well In hand, and when Bobbie says "Let's o," the boys show lots of pep. Jay O'Connell, who was injured the first part of last season, will be in the baclc field in his old position. Mike Oswego, Madura, and Zimmerman will be in the back field, and Freddie Armstrong when he hits an opponent, they stay hit. Armstrong sure lives up to his name. He is strong all over.

This organization has been steady followers of the Gophers for several years and to make it look good the organization has put in an order for white sweaters which will be worn by the GoodfetlowEhip Club. They- wi'.l not have their sweaters for this game, but will for the next game. Later in the week the lineup will appear in The Times. To start the season right, the Gophers are giving a Get-Together Dance on Saturday evening. Sept. 30. at the Colonial Dance Talace.

In taking on the South Chicago Orpheums. the Gophers are taking on a hard cub. but this game will prove the metal of th Gophers. If the Gophers defeat the South. Chicago tribe, they will have defeated one of the strongest clubs on the gridiron. An official of the MidWest league will officiate. The game will Mart promptly at 2:30 o'clock.

After suoh a disastrous season as last year they are either going to have a championship contJndlng team, or none at all. That's a pretty high mark to hit. but with some veterans of last year and plenty of new talent Well, it's best to leave everyone form their own conclusilons. Hard practice starts early next week.
