SP — ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1928 ° Midwest Scene of Two Big International Games : Hawkeyes Fi NOTRE DAME HOST T0 CARNEGIE TECH Pitt Plays at Lincoln Effort to End Nebraska’s Title. Hopes. in BY HERBERT W. BARKER. Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 13.—The East in general and Pittsburgh specifically sends two foot ball elevens into hostile Midwest- ern territory this Saturday, the one to establish itself more firmly as an outstanding contender for the na- tional title and.the other to halt the rush of another claimant to the myth- ical championship. Carnegie Tech’s husky Engineers, | who vaulted into prominence by down- ing Georgetown last Saturday, are faced with a golden opportunity to add to their foot ball prestige by defeating Notre Dame at South Bend. The Tar- tans' campaign for national recogni- tion will be helped no little if the Pitts- burgh Panthers are neighborly enough to turn back a hitherto all-conquering Nebraska Cornhusker aggregation at Lincoln. Chances Are Even Up. Of course, it is at least an even-up chance that both these objectives will fail. Notre Dame has taken two lick- ings this year and thinks that is enough. It demonstrated this fact con- clusively to the bitter disappointment of the Army last week. And then Nebraska, trouncing Okla- homa, 44 to 6, last Saturday, gave no apparent indication that it was in any mood to be stopped even by a Pitt Panther that has come back to life with a vengeance in the last two weeks. The Cornhuskers beat Syracuse by only a single point on October 20, and Pitt turned the trick, 18 to 0, two weeks later, but comparative scores are hardly a reliable basis of comparison. The West incidentally is sending three emissaries into the East this week—Missouri tackling New York University at the Yankee Stadium, un- defeated Detroit invading the Polo Grounds to take on- Fordham, while the Army’s Cadets entertain Carleton at West Point. That completes the intersectional an- gle of the program, but none of these contests will draw the throng that will flock to Princeton to see the fifty-sec- ond meeting between a_ Yale bulldog, battered by Army and Maryland, and a Princeton tiger held to a draw by Virginia and Ohio State. Penn Favored to Win. Pennsylvania will be fayored to de- feat Columbia in their nineteenth meet- ing at Philadelphia, and Cornell, de- spite a defeat by Princeton and score- less ties with Columbia and St. Bona- venture, may be the public choice against a Dartmouth eleven beaten by Harvard, Yale and Brown on succes- sive Saturdays. This rivalry, begun in 1900 and renewed next Saturday for the cleventh time, is a .youngster compared with the thirtieth clash between Syra- cuse and Colgate, who first began re- lations on the gridiron in 1891, or the forty-fifth battle between.

In the 6-to-0 victory of the Terrapins achieved at New Haven last Saturday to confound the foot ball experts it was Center George Madigan who recovered the fumble which led to the only touchdown. of the fray, while Fullback Snitz Snyder, by his line-crashing ability, in addi- tion to both catching and heaving forward passes, succeeded in gaining about as much ground as all the Yale backs together. Ancther Dempsey-Tunney Bout Now Is Regarded as Possible BY FAIRPLAY. NEW YORK, November 13.—Unless all signs fail Jack Dempsey will be back in California within the next fortnight with the published intention of going through a course of sprouts and if he finds that he can do himself justice he will let the g:lplutlng public in on the secret that means to regain his old crown. Dempsey's personal press agent will burn midnight oil trying to think up new stunts to feed the public. Last year it was clearing out five acres of scrub- land, carrying bolders up the moun- tainside and breaking a mountain trail where no white man ever before had trod. It all went good and was the medium through which two record- breaking gates were listed among the big ones Jack Dempsey has to his credit and his personal bank account, Knowing Gene Tunney, the writer is convinced that Gene has retired for good and all-time. But there is a catch in Gene’s retirement. Just as soon as Dempsey is re-established on his throne you can bet dollars to doughnuts Gene Tunney will forsake the quietude of his home and come back to the ring—for another crack at Jack Dempsey. Gene has been accused.of hand-pick- ing Tom Heeney. Granting that much, it is to Tunney's credit that he held out t othe last minute, thinking he might get Dempsey back into the ring. Tom Heeney was not nominated for the post until it was definitely stated that Demp- sey had retired permanently; “that his eyesight was so bad it would be fool- hardy for him to fight again.” Now 3 sizes the century” *I’M CONFIDENT Bayuk Philadelphia Hand Made is the finest cigar for the money that ever intrigued man’s smoke appetite. The Bayuk method of using only the fully- vipe middle leaves of choice tobacco plants is one of the biggest forward steps in the progress of cigar-making. No doubt it created a manufactur- ing problem as to what to do with the under.ripe top and over.ripe bottom leaves. . « « But why bring that up?

Phone Main 4450-4151 “lts Ripe Tobaccol Gene has a score to settle with Demp- sey. If there is anything Tunney wants, even more than the millions he has ac- cumulated and married, it is to see the big letters “K. O.” alongside Dempsey'’s name in the boxing records. It would give Gene more personal satisfaction to do that little thing than expounding Shapespeare to another class of college students. ‘Tunney's return to the ring depends on Dempsey’s actions. If Jack comes back and lays claim to the title, it is probable that Gene will protest the claim. Gene i3 proud enough to do such a thing. A corps of 210 coaches is to be en- gaged by the Board of Education of Philadelphia, Pa., to develop athletic teams and extend the “moral and physical benefit of athletics.” WISCONSIN BOASTS FINE PASSING GANE Badgers Pointing to Oust lowa From Lead in Big Ten Title Race. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON. Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 13.—Iowa will face probably the most powerful forward passing at- tack in the Big Ten when it battles Wisconsin for first place in the foot ball championship chase at Iowa City Saturday. ‘With either Bill Lusby, Sammy Behr, Ken Bartholomew or “Eo” Cuisiner do- ing the tossing or receiving, the Badgers have an aerial attack that none of its opponents has been able to solve this season. When Michigan stopped them in a great stand at Ann Arbor recently, Wisconsin pulled the game out of the fire in the last two minutes when Cui- siner caught a pass and scored. Realizing Iowa's line has but few weak spots, Coach Glen Thistlethwaite is polishing up his favorite style of play. In scrimmage last night, the first Monday scrimmage at Wisconsin in years, he opened his trick bag, pulled out three new plays and the varsity completely befuddled the reserves. Somewhat Lruised and travel-weary after the Ohio State trip, Iowa began its drill for the Wisconsin invasion with a short signal drill yesterday. But beginning today, Coach Burt Ingwersen plans to drive them relentlessly with scrimmages and to throw up a defense against passes, an attack the Hawks stopped at .Ohio State with great suc- cess Saturday. Northwestern, which gets better day by day, had something else o chzer about last night when its sophomore halfback, Hank Bruder of Peking, IIl, proved he had recovered from his leg injury by giving one of the best punting exhibitions ever seen on a Northwestern practice field. His boots averaged 55 yards and one kick traveled 72 yards before it landed. Northwestern came out of the Purdue game in splendid con- dition and for the first time this sea- son is confident of winning a confer- ence game when it tangles with In- diana. Indiana opened its training for the Northwestern invasion yesterday with a light workout. Offensive Capt. “Chuck” Bennett aggravated an old arm mjury in the Minnesota game, but the others came out unscathed. Coach Bob Zuppke still is dissatisfied with his Illinois varsity and threateas to make several shifts for the Chicago game. “Chuck” Hall has been placed at halfback position and some changes have been promised for the line. “Frosty” Peters seems assured of the quarterback job. Chicago, which sees nothing but an- other defeat Saturday, may put out its full fighting fqree against the Iilini, with Capt. Saul Weislow back at tackle. With non-conference games ahead Saturday, other Big Ten teams took SPORT S. Face Aerial Peri training easily yesterday, except for Minnesota, which is working overtime in preparation for the Wisconsin game two weeks away. SQUAD IS SO BATTERED | THAT 23 MISS PRACTICE NORMAN, Okla., November 13 (#).— | Battered and bruised so badly in last| week's crushing 6 to 44 defeat by Nebraska’s powerful gridiron machine, | 23 members of the Oklahoma foot ball | squad were unable to report for practice | last night. | Only one member of the first or sec- ond string teams showed up on the field, causing virtual cancellation of the | workout. None of the 23 players was hurt seriously, but Coach Ad Lindsay be- lieved it would take most of them two| weeks to “get over their bruises.” Nebraska's power house backfield and formidable line, reported to be the big- gest and best in a decade of Corn-| huskers' gridiron_history, has wreaked | havoc upon Big Six conference rivals. | seventh_t STAGG REMAINS “GRAND OLD MAN” TO CHICAGOANS CHICAGO, November 13 (#).—In de- feat or victory, Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg still is the “grand old man” to University of Chicago alumni and they will give him his annual “spread” to- morrow night. While alumni are distressed with this season’s foot ball team, which hasn't won a Big Ten game, they attribute the fatlure to poor material and not to Stagg's ity. Hence, tomorrow night's banquet will be confined mostly to laudatory speeches to the coach, who is drilling his thirty= m_at_Chica; TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN'S, 7th & F Made with care Standard for men who care.
