Joestin; to Play Saturday — Instead of sitting along the side- lines Saturday, two of the most prominent players of the Big Ten. Herb Joesting of Minnesota and “Tiny” Lewis of Northwestern, ex- pect to get into Saturday's games. Joesting, who has been out all sea- son with an injured leg, is ready to hit the Indiana linc and Lewis, the victim of ;,rippe, expects to work | against Ohio State. 4 Another star, Captain Wilcox, of Purdue, is definitely out of the Chi- cago game, however. Tony Leichtle, Purdue right halfback, will also be out with a bad knee. é Probably the most _ mysterious mentor in the Big Ten today is Coach Stagg.

D'BRIEN T'amous Football Referee The change that has be n made in Rule 18, is expecte- to bring back the very pretty play of catching and running back a punt. In recent defense, who were about to receive a punt, have been coached not to catch the ball, but to let it strike} the ground. This was all for fear of a fumble, whereby the ends coming down the field would, as a result, recover the ball and run for a touch- down.

NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer .New York, Oct. 14,—(?)—The biggest surprise — and likewise the greatest thrill of a season packed with nerve tingling moments—came to Columbia Lou Gehrig when the committee of eight sports writers round the American League circuit adjudged him the most valuable player to his team during; the sea- so_ of 1927. Stripped to a mere breech cloth, the bulging muscles of his broad Physique knotting as stepped about assembling che uniform of the “Larruping Lou” for an exhibition game at Asbury Park, N. J., the husky young first baseman of the world champion New York Yankees allowed that even striking out with bases full and the, score tied in the ninth inning of the final world se- ries game hadn’t stunned him as much as receipt of the coveted player award. _ Stretched out . « nearby chair in the club house dressing room, Babe Ruth, teacher, guide and club- bing mentor of his young teammate, took his ease in similar attire and joshed the youngster affectionately whenever the lisibet Sd here ‘Temperaments itrasting No greater contrast in tempera- ment or physique could be found anywhere in baseba.l than 0 batsmen who waged a thrilling race for home run honors from spring to fall before the~ veteran finally fell into his record-breaking stride and left youth far behind. The Babe is huge through the shoulders, pudgy of waist, with the legs of a welterweight bearing his 225-pound bulk, whil. wou has the build of a four-square Du‘chman, wide of shculder and hip, with the legs of a heavyweight wrestler. Babe, although loving baseball wholeheartedly, is the business head of the combination as befits his 33 years, while Lou plays for thrills and isn’t a bit anxious to hide the fact that the national pastime is “his meat.” “Perhaps the greatest thrill of the honor came from its unexpect- edness,” said Lou. “All through the year I though that Babe would get it. I never even knew that he wasn’t eligible because he won it in 1923. So I just played along through the season, doi.g as well as |I could, and the thought never once entered by mind that I might be judged the most valuable player in ithe Ar erican league. , ‘Its a great feeling, though, and I’m sure it will give me confidence, {and make a better player of me next season. I'll be in there swinging every minut- to prove thev were right. Maybe I won't hit more than 47 home runs in 1928, but 3 won’t be fai shy either.” _ About that time, the Bambino cut himself into the conversation. _ “Listen, kid,” h said “you were a cinch. You'd have won it anyway even if I wasn’t out. Act your age and climb into that sweatshirt.” Inperturbed, “Larruping Lou” i Stalked over to the B be who had not moved from his easy position, and said almost accusingly: “You know, that big hittipg freak there.taught me more about batting ders, even h:s ears go with the bat. No one else can do that. this season than all the --st of the people that have worked on me put together.

All I can do is stand there and swing with my arms alone. Just my arms.” As Lou stretched at full length a pair of forearms that would shame @ safe-mover, Babe bestirred him- self, pulled on a pair of stockings, and then er.\2red into the fascinat- ing task of inserting himself back- wards into the pants of his uniform. It was a feat ‘orthy of special mention. First - Babe turned the pants inside out and laid them on the floor. He thcn pulled each trouser leg on up to the knee and left the waist of the garment dang- ling, still inside out, -round his ankles. and panis kneees to~ether securely, he reached down and successfully peeled the garment up about his ample waist, adjusted the belt and grunted. Performs “ymnastics “There’s one pair of pants that won't get loose from my stockings in a hurry!” Fully dressed, the home run twins carefully selected favorite bats and headed for the exit. “Remember, Babe,” said Lou, “we've got to catch a train west at 5:30 and it’s ° o'clock now. Hit, a couple out of the park about the sixth inning an I'll sick the kids on you and break up the ball game.” The “kids” didn’t need Lou’s urg- ing. Before the seventh inning could be completed, swarming youngsters had stolen 40 balls which, in addition to one Babe lifted over the center field fence, com- prised the entire supply. Thus the game had to be called on account of no more baseballs and the Babe and Columbia Lou made their train with ease. saa Tae AR CT Be Fights Last Night | f, The Associated Press) - Atlanta, Georga—Paul _Berlen- bach, New York, and Joe Lohman, Toledo, drew, (12).
