Comparison of the season accom- plishments by the Wildcats and Hoosiers might indicate Northwestern could regard the game as a breather, but Coach Dick Hanley never will feel that way about Indiana again. Three years in a row Northwestern was @ topheavy favorite to whip In- diana—and Northwestern got three lickings in a row. Northwestern will have only one- half of the celebrated Rentner to Baker forward passing combination Saturday. Rentner suffered an in- jury to his spine Saturday against | Minnesota and will not be in action until the Wildcats meet Notre Dame Nov. 22. The most strenuous practice session yesterday was held at Ann Arbor where Harry Kipke’s polishing up * Michigan's attack for use against ' Harvard Saturday.

Chicago Seeking Army-Navy Game Illinois Unemployment Commi: sion Seeks to Mend Breach Between Two Chicago, Nov. 4—(®)—An attempt to repair the gridiron riot between the , Army and Naval academies, in the interest of relief for the unemployed, has been initiated by George F. Getz, chairman of the Illinois unemploy- ment commission. Getz has wired Fred Britton to use his influence toward bringing about a postseason football game between the institutions for Soldiers field. Receipts would be appproximately $750,000. 42 Tiger Students Suspended by Dean Conduct During Pep Riot Said Beneath That of ‘Reds or Gangsters’ Princeton, N. J., Nov. 4.—(?)—Their conduct described by the dean as being beneath reds or gangsters, 42 Princeton university undergraduates hhave been suspended for participat- not revealed by Dean Christian Gauss. Four were dropped for a year; two until the end of the Christmas va- cation; five for one month; three for two weeks; 14 for one week and 14 for an indefinite period. ‘The riot was an aftermath of a football rally designed to arouse en- thusiasm for the Princeton-Chicago game last Saturday which ended in a scoreless tie. After the rally the students rushed into Nassau street, plete Beg hare pushing parked cars into of the roadway, wrecked a theatre ticket booth, rocked buses, turned on fire hydrants and ended by vulling the statue of “The Christian Stu- dent” from its pedestal and dragging it through the street. The dean characterized the rocking of buses as “downright muckerism.” The Princetonian, undergraduate newspaper, termed the punishment “inexplicably and disproportionately severe.” Miniature Golf Is Making China Debut Shanghai, Nov. 4—(?)—Miniature golf has made its debut in Shanghai. ‘Two courses are already in operation. ‘The sport has grown exceptionally with the American and Jap- residents of the city while the are inclined to view the pas- ith a critical eye. incl @hinese feel the same way e@bout it. ‘Only 16 per cent of the 24115 employed in North Carolina during 1928-29 were men. | Northwestern Utilizes Great Back in Simple Thrusts Through Tackle | ‘The return of Hank Bruder, Northwestern university's 200-pound backfield ace, to the lineup once again gives the Purple an opportunity to use its favorite “Bruder” play—an undeceptive smash through tackle. i West to Cooperate for Charity Game Suit Against Gene Tunney Is Resting Timothy J. Mara, Sports Pro- moter, Seeking to Obtain Share of Earnings New York, Nov. 4.—(?)—The lawsuit in which Timothy J. Mara, sports pro- moter, is attempting to obtain a large share of the millions Gene Tunney amassed as heavyweight champion was at a standstill today pending a ruling on a motion to dismiss, An itemized account of $1,742,282 Pl ‘y the suit brought by Mara to collect $435,507.51 and interest.

Hatting had granted @ mofion to dismiss the case as against Billy Gibson, who was Tunney’s man- ager. Gibson has been adjudged in- competent, and his guardians were represented at the trial. Clemson Quarterback Is Dixie Topnotcher Clemson College, 8. C., Nov. 4—(?) Maxcy Welch, Clemson quarterback, makes a bid for recognition along with Jack Roberts, Bobby Dodd, Ship- wreck Kelly and other Dixie top- notchers. It was the potent passing of Welch that enabled Clemson to walk over South Carolina in the 19th: annual state fair contest. Had he not placed so accurately his long forward passes, the score might have been entirely different. tie Sports writers are hailing Welch as @ second Jack McDowall and making predictions that he will go down in this year’s football history as one of the outstanding southern backs, 10 per cent of Permission of Athletic Board Necessary for Nodak-St. Olaf Contest Washington, Nov. 4.—(?)— Coach C. A. West of the Univer- sity of North Dakota football team said he would be willing to cooperate with Minneapolis au- thorities for a charity game Thanksgiving day with St. Olaf college or another team to be se- lected. DEPENDS ON BOARD Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 4.—(#) President Thomas F. Kane, of the Ugiversity of North Dakota, had no comment to make mwgarding the statement of Athletic Director C. A. West that the Noilak foot- ball team would be willing to take part in a charity game Thanksgiving day. It is up to the University athletic board, Kane said. Football at Night Defended by Coach Lynn Waldorf, Oklahoma A. and _M., Denies That Lights Are Harmful Stillwater, Okla., Nov. 4—(P)—Night football is neither brutal nor out- Yageous as some of the coaches of large schools charge, says Lynn Wal- dorf, Oklahoma A. and M. mentor. The Aggie coach declares there is no eye strain on the players after the first five or 10 minutes. After a short, time the players’ eyes become accus- tomed to the artificial light, he as- Instead of being detrimental to the health of the players, night football is better for them than daytime play, maser, in the south, believes Ws “Night practice,” the coach says, “is unnecessary. All a team needs to do to get accustomed to lights is to go on the fleld 10 minutes or so before the game.” Fidel LaBarba Is Leading Feather |Californian Beats Kid Chocolate Decisively in New York Battle New York, Nov. 4.—(?)—Regardless of the fact Battling Battalino holds the official world featherweight championship a young man from Los Angeles, Fidel LaBarba, can claim himself the best of the 126-pounders flinging leather today. LaBarba, once a student of Stan- ford university and before that cham- pion of all the flyweights, proved his Tight to titular recognition among the featherweights last night by clearly out-pointing Kid Chocolate, the Cu- ban sensation, in a torrid 10-round engagement that drew 16,000 persons, the biggest crowd of the indoor sea- son so far, to Madison Square Gar- den. “t Last night-was the first time Chocolate has been beaten by 8 man in his own class, the featherweight division. . By the victory LaBarba reversed a decision against him in his first match with Chocolate here two years ago. Last night, Fidel kept up an everlasting bombardment of the negro’s body with left hooks that buried deep under the smiling’ “Keed’s” stamina. He fought back only in spurts and won but three of the 10 rounds. LaBarba won five with two even. The highlights of the duel, fast and hard fought, came in the third and seventh rounds. There were no knockdowns and neither was marked at the close, _—— FF f Fights Last Night | (By the Associated Prem - New York.—Fidel LaBar! ngeles, outpointed id Ia—Loule Mayen, {pointed Jack Me- Sloux City, In.

(Larry) MacPHAIL (National Football Referee) Things aren’t going so well at the ‘University of Illinois this fall. About every five years they have a disas- trous season at Champaign. The Army and Ohio State are eager for the opportunity to erase bitter memories of previous encounters with the Illini. The material at Illinois is very or- dinary except for a few like Berry, Yanuskus and Captain Robinson. This year’s squad is composed of sophomores and’ 1929 reserves. As a Tesult, Illinois was beaten by North- western and Michigan. se 8 In spite of all this, don’t be in too much of a hurry to “count 10” on Il- linois this season. Glance back over the records first. And pay particular attention to the lean years at Illinois and to the performances ‘of her mediocre teams. In 1916, Illinois did not cut any figure in the Conference race. Min- nesota had one of the mightiest teams the West ever saw and defeat- ed Iowa, Wisconsin and Chicago by a combined score of 170 to 0: No foot- ball critic has been able to explain how that Illinois outfit defeated the’ Gophers 14 to 9. eee In 1921, Ohio State hadn't lost a single game. Illinois had failed to win @ single Conference contest. In the final game Ohio State was a cinch and the gold footballs emblematic of the championship had been ordered. Final score: Illinois 7, Ohio State 0, and another Buckeye championshtp dream shattered! In 1922, Champaign handed Wisconsin an un- expected jolt. In 1925, the Illini were defeated by Nebraska, Iowa and Michigan in turn, only to go East and whip Pennsylvania, conquerors of Yale and Chicago and undefeated for two years in the East, 24 to 2. zk & ‘No matter how ordinary the ma- terial, nor how disastrous the season, in some one game the Illini rose to the heights, played football that was little short of the heroic, and-accom- plished the impossible. ‘That’s a football tradition at Mli- nois, and it has been influenced in its development by a forceful personality. Wherewith is introduced, in this cor- pjner, at 140 pounds, “Fighting Bob” Zuppke. 3 ‘The ability to inspire ordinary ma- terial to perform “way over its head” upon occasions, is the mark of a great football coach. And in that one par- ticular the All-Time All-American is little Herr Zuppke, himself, der Bur- gomeister von Champaign. sk * Even Zupp’s entrance into this world ‘was colorful and dramatic, His parents, residents of Milwaukee, were from @ trip to Australia when Zupp made his first unexpected move. They stopped the boat. Herr Zuppke was born in Germany. Zupp had been accused of being conceited. Possibly this is because Zupp believes in himself and likes to talk. During breakfast last fall shortly after the close of the season, he discussed with me college faculties, national parks, Bob Zuppke, painting in oils, Knute Rockne, the heavy- weight wrestlers, Confucius, prohibi- tion, and—our host ran out of wheat cakes before Zupp came to a semi- jeolon. Zupp’s language is unconventional. A little dialect adds a touch of hu- mor, He delights in wisecracks. * s * Zuppke's personality in football is expressed in the attack. He dislikes the obvious, prefers hidden ball plays |to power, revels in strategy and de- ception.

For two years this pair, Buddy Hackman and Eugene’ McEver, have been the most feared halfbacks in the southland. But a knee injury to Mc- Ever will keep him on the sidelines this year, while his old running mate Pairs up with another halfback. A recent major operation at a Memphis hospital definitely put him out of the game for this season. Doc- tors say he'll be reiidy again next year, but Hackman is playing his fi. nal year, so that eliminates the’ possi- bility of the two appearing together again in college football. i In Tennesse's first major game this year, the Vols missed the “twins” and took their first lacing in three years— an 18 to 6 Gefeat at the hands of Ala- bama, halting Tennessee's winning streak of 33 consecutive games, With Hack running most of his in- terferences,' Mack reached his top stride last year and won national scoring honors*with more than 130 points as a sophomore.

Manager Les Patrick Is Well Equipped With Forwards, Weak on Back Line New York, Nov. 4—(/)—A problem in defense faces Lester Patrick, man- ager of the New York Rangers, in his preparations for the coming National Hockey League season. The Rangers are well equipped with | good forwards, but they have shown a lamentable weakness on the back line. Big Ching Johnson, who was out most of last season with \an injury, fur- nishes one question. He was far from |his best form when he did get back in the lineup late last season and there is some question whether he can re- gain the peak. ‘When the Rangers returned a‘ few days ago from Toronto to finish their training at Springfield, Mass., Johnson and little Leo Bourgeault were named as Patrick's first line of defense. Frank Peters, - purchased from the Philadelphia Arrows, has been selected as one relief defense man, and Bill Regan, formerly of the Boston Tigers, probably will get the ‘other job. John Ross. Roach, little Ranger | goalie, also had a bad season but it is junlikely either of the two minor league stars, Andy Aitkenhead from Springfield and Alfie Moore from Cleveland, will displace him. Patrick already has settled on the nine forwards 'he expects to carry with the Rangers, selecting three newcomers from a large selection of amateur and minor league candidates for positions on the New York team and its Springfield farm. Bill and Bun Cook and Frank Boucher, who form about the best trio any major league team can boast, again will make up the Ranger first line of at- tack. Three minor league stars apparent- ly have survived the competition for jobs as the third line of New York forwards. Frank “Deacon” Waite, Gene Carrigan, Springfield, and Ed- die Rodden, are the prospective new major leaguers. THREE ADVANTAGES AGAINST MICHIGAN Breather Game, Coach Tad Wieman and Ken MacDou- gal Are Important | Minneapolis, Nov. 4.—(2)}—Frity | Crisler apd his football team got to- gether today on Northrop field two hours earlier than usual because of the University of Minnesota holiday on election day to prepare them- selves for the Michigan game. The Gopher chief, whose exper- iences in his baptism as a head coach in the’ Big Ten have been alternate- ly cold and hot in a season of happy surprise and sour defeat, has a task which few coaches have conquered at Minnesota consistently, that of | beating the Wolverines, a Gopher | jinx. | Will. Meet Nov. 15 The question of jinx or better foot- | ball teams will be settled two weeks | hence at Ann Arbor, Mich., where the | Gopher and Wolverine and two of | the youngest head coaches in the | country in “big time” football meet Nov. 15. Harry Kipke’s Michigan team. which beat Minnesota last year by 7 to 6 in the resumption of gridiron competition between the two insti- tutions after a year's interval, plays Harvard at Cambridge this Saturday while the Gophers engage the Uni- versity of South Dakota. This one point in the schedule may be accepted as favorable to the Goph- ers who, in the face of things to date, are short enders in both their re- maining Big Ten engagements, the second with Wisconsin. There are other matters, however, which might |be of value to the maroon and gold. One of them is the quite plausible development that Elton E. “Tad” Wieman, Gopher line coach, would like nothing better than to see Min- nesota whip Michigan. He was head coach at Michigan once, but had to leave the job after disagreements with Fielding H. “Hurry Up” Yost, filled another position in the ath- letic department, and spent last year m4 line coach at Vanderbilt univer- iy. A third point also is of a psycho- logical nature. Ken “Peewee” Mac- Dougal, Ishpeming, Mich., a young sophomore whom few opponents have a fair chance of stopping on a spread field, also may be nourishing some- j thing of a grudge. Didn't Get Invitation MacDougal, so goes the story, once had the idea that he would like to Play for Michigan, and his friends who had seen him in high school football thought the same. But ap- Parently no one representing Michi- gan invited him to the school because he was too small, which resulted in his coming to Minnesota. MacDougal checks himself out to practice at 133 pounds and in after drill at 132 pounds. So the Gophers have three ad- vantages for the game with Michi- gan—the “breather” contest Saturday, while Michigan mixes with Harvard is No, 1, and No.2 and 3 are Tad, ‘Wieman and Ken MacDougal. The rest of it depends on 11 men and reserves and the respective pow- ers and good fortunes of the two teams that day.
