THOMAS. cretary and mainspring of the Na- Congress, i8 the most influential bowling leader in the East, but the most powerful in his own limited domain is John E. Ferrall, general manager of the Airicultural Interbureau League. Ferrall's position is unique. Ferrall is in complete charge, eves The legaue has no other officer and n to the matter of keeping records end chroniciing the league’s doings for the newspapers. * The league couldn’t be conducted with more all-around efficiency, for Ferrall devotes to it the same executive ability that makes his record in the department shing chieftan. He is a big fellow in qvery way— in stature, in thought, in heart. It is said he has refused promotion to permit others more in need orf emolument to go ahead, the men- tion of which isn’t likely to make your informant a bit popular with John E. Ferrall. He has a gift for helping others and obscuring such acts. Several years back Ferrall apparently had locked up the singles and all- events championships of Class C in the Washington City Duckpin Associa- | tion tournament. During a late hour on the last night a dub performer “went wild” and took away the honors and prizes that virtually had been con- ceded to Ferrall. And to those who know him it was nothing in the nature of theatricals when big Jack was among the first to congratulate the victor. Has a Firm Hand, Too. Mis sense of sportsmanship and the exercise of it has helped much to make the Agricultural Interbureau League quite a model. A temperamental young star once vented his spleen by slam- ming the ball onto the alley and other- wise comporting himself foolishly to| the annoyance of playmates. Ferrall promptly ruled him out of the league. Had the league a set of officers or a board of directors to pow-wow over the matter nothing ever would have been done about it probably, And we have something more than a vague notion that the Aggles’ czar was giving a thought to_the welfare of the young man as well as the league. Another Agricultural Department leader in the person of L. M. Eidsness recently has come into general notice. Eidsness, & former pitcher for the Aggies and later manager, is president of the Burroughs Citizens' Association ‘which set a precedent for such organi- zations the other night by forming a sports auxiliary, the Burroughs Athletic Club. If Eidsness gives serious atten- tion to the Burroughs Athletic Club it will flourish or Larry won’t be running true to form. The Aggies’ ball team was victorious under his regime, not only in the Departmental League but the city championship series. ess broke in as a ballplayer when John P. Evans, best known now as a bowling leader, was pilot of the les. Larry reported for every game and sat on the bench through half a season before he got a trial in the box. “I decided to give him a chance one day,” says Evans, “against one of the &t teams in the league, the Man- hattans. ‘Either you win this game’ I told him, ‘or don't show,up any more.’ “Larry, you know, has a joint missing from each of his first two fingers, a handicap that would prevent most fel- lows from even trying to pitch. But somehow he had learned a way to grip the ball and had developed a spitter. pitched a queer game against the like a beacon. He is a clerical Manhattans. In one inning he was so wild that Joe Engel would have looked like & master of control by comparison. Larry pitched 17 straight balls. After walking two in & row he looked over at me, as if to ask if I were going to yank I him. I paid no attention. He was either going to win that game or else, and I repeated that to him when the inning was over. ‘The Manhat- “Well, he won—2 to 1. tans got three hits.” , Larry Nops and your corespondent |once walked all over Richmond, Va., | trying to find Eidsness when the latter | disappeared after the Aggies had whip- | ped_the Richmond champs in the an- | nual intercity battle of those pre-war days.

JOHN’S END SPORT RELATIONS CHESTER, Pa., November 14.—Ath- letic relations between St. John's Col- lege and Pennsylvania Military College have been severed after representatives of the two Institutions failed to reach | an agreement concerning detalls for | the annual foot ball game. St. John's place on the P. M. C. schedule for 1930 will be occupled by | Johns Hopkins. ‘The break with St. John's terminated the Thanksgiving clashes which had been an annual affair for 31 years.

A. U. TO RECOGNIZE RECORDS LOS ANGELES, November 14 (#).— Recognition of a record of almost nine years ago will be asked by Charley Pad- | dock, erstwhile sprinter, when officials of the American Athletic Union gather at St. Louis Sunday for their annual convention. ‘The runner, whose flying feet earned for him the name *“Fastest Human,” was en route East today with the avow- ed intention of appearing before the 8t. Louls meeunf to_request his mark of 10.2 seconds for 110 yards also be accepted as the 100-meter record. | Paddock now holds the world record for the 100 meters, which is slightly less than 110 yards, with a time of 10.4 seconds. He contends that inasmuch as | the A. A. U. has in the past recognized marks made for a longer distance as a record for the shorter race, he is justi- asking for the recognition. Pad- dock set the 102 time here in the Spring of 1921, Purdue and Iowa Will Display Full Hands in Game Saturday BY WILLIAM WEEKES. Associnted Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 14 (P)— What Purdue and Iowa have used to overcome Western Conference opponents this sea- son is not all they have in the way of foot ball trickery, but everything they know will go on display Saturday afternoon at Lafayette when they mest in the vital game of the Big Ten day. After dropping its first conference game to Ohio State, Towa speeded up and tied Illinols and conquered Wis- consin and Minnesota. The Hawkeyes, however, did not show a great variety of offensive stuff until they hit Minne- sota last week. Even then Coach Burt Ingwersen's eleven did little with forward passing. All during this week, however, Ingwersen has drilled and polished an aerial offensive, held in reserve for just such & test as the Purdue game. The Bollermakers, already aware of ihe power of the Towa running game led by Capt. Bill Glassgow and Oran Pape, probably will find themselves with added worries in the form of forward passes. / Will Spring New Stuff. Purdue has cleared all obstacles with little difficulty, but Coach Jimmy Phe- lan is drilling his squad with strategy prepared especially for Iowa. Purdue has exhibited a great running attack, built around Welch, Harmeson and Yunevich, as well as a capable passing offensive, with Harmeson doing the tossing. In addition to this, Phelan has worked out variations of both forms of assault, with Welch figuring prominently in the passing. A victory over Towa will leave Purdue with only Indiana to conquer to bring the conference championship to La- fayette for the first time, and prepara- tion is going forward with grim de- termination. Michigan also is expected to break out & new passing game against Minne- sota at Minneapolis Saturday. Coach Harry Kipke has spent most of the week smoothing his passing game and will turn it loose in an effort to take the brown jug back to Ann Arbor. Affairs at Minnesota are not so bright. Brock- meyer, halfback star, and Clarence Munn, sophomore tackle, have not re- covered from injuries suffered at Iowa last week and may not be in shape to play against Michigan. Injuries also are all to plentiful at Illi- nois and Coach Bob Zuppke has indi- cated he will send a backfield composed of Doug Mills at quarter and three W sophomore backs against Chic Sat- \lrdlph; Art Schultz was sent to fullback vesterday after Fritz Humbert sprained an ankle. Root and .Evans are the choices for the halfback posts. Coach A. A. Stagg of Chicago has devoted most of the Maroon practice sessions to defensive measures, especlally against Tllinois end runs. He gave out four new plays yesterday, but indicated they might not be used until the Washington game a week from Saturday. Northwestern Plays Safe. Inability of Indiana to accomplish things against major opponents has not kept, Northwestern from working at top speed in preparation for the Hoosler invasion Saturday. Coach Dick Hanley is experimenting with backfield com- binations on the chance that Rus Bergherm, his best ball carrier, may not be able to work against Indiana. Bergherm came out of the Ohlo State game much battered. Two weeks of vest have brought In- diana to top physical condition and Coach Pat Page has worked his squad hard. He has given much time to improving the defense and Hoosler supporters are hopeful of a surprise vic- tory over the Wildcats, Preparation at Wisconsin and Ohio State is directed at their games a week from Saturday. While Ohio State meets Kenyon Saturday, Coach Sam Willaman is working for the Illinois game. Wisconsin has no game Satur- day, but the Badgers are being kept busy organizing for Minnesota a week from Saturda; Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.

GOULD, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 14 (#).— ‘The Pittsburgh Panthers, in a receptive mood for an invita- tion to compete in the big East-West game at the Rose Bowl on New Year day, probably will find Carnegie on Saturday the hardest hurdle they have tried to clear in the race for national foot ball honors. In seven straight victories so far Jock | Sutherland’s young men have not been seriously extended. Their closest call was a one-touchdown victory over Ne- braska, but actually the game was more decisively a Pitt victory than the score | of 12 to 7 indicated. No other team, including West Virginia, Duke, Ohio State and Washington and Jefferson, has kept the Panther from running up margins of anywhere from two to eight touchdowns. Pittsburgh’s admitted all - around strength has yet to be put to a severe test for the somewhat elementary rea- son that it has so far just about out- classed all this opposition. The Pan- thers have yet to experience the novelty of coming from behind to win or facing anything like a desperate situation. On a line through W. & J., which tied Carnegie but lost by three touch- downs to Pitt, the Panthers appear to have a distinct edge, but comparative scores have meant little so far this sea- son. They mean less where so keen a city rivalry is involved. The Tartans have been beaten by only one team, Notre Dame, which gained a hard- fought 7-0 decision. ~ Through this game it will be possible after Saturd to measure the relative merits of Pitt and Notre Dame if they are still the championship hunt. Carnegle, pointing for Pittsburgh, laid off last Saturday and will have its strength ready. Several injured stars, including Ted , will be back. great fleld general of 1928, Howard Harpster, but they have two fine in Karcis and Flanagan, besides a pow- erful line, to toss in against the smash- ing Pitt forwards, who do the heavy work on the shifty dashes of Uansa and Williams, the plunging of Parkinson and | be the passing of Rooney. Jim Rooney's kicking is one of Pitt's best defensive assets. The battle of quarterbacks in the Notre Dame-Southern California game at Soldier Pield figures to be one of the high spots of the season. Prank Carideo is Notre Dame's cleverest pilot and best passer since Harry Stuhldreher was master-minding on the fleld for the Four Horsemen. The Trojans have two good men for the job in Marshall Duf- fleld and Russell Saunders. Duffield was second-string quarter- back until the Stanford game. but pro- moted himself by leading the Trojans to victory over the Cardinals. He was manhandled by California, but so were most of the other Trojan ball toters in that upset. Saunders has more drive, but is not quite so elusive or resource- ful as Duffield, in the opinion of Coast experts. Wesley Fesler, Ohio State’s fine end and All-America candidate, has the dis- tinction of being his team’s leading scorer, thanks to his sensational 99-yard run for a touchdown last Saturday against Northwestern after recovering a “flying fumble.” Fesler has scored two touchdowns altogether and Dick Larkins, tackle, an- other to give the line half of the Buck- eye total for the season. It is unique that no Ohio back has crossed an op- posing goal line or scored a point since the opening game of the season with Wittenberg. Fred Barratt, the big cen- ter, does what kicking is possible for the extra points. — Roger Contl, billiard champion of Prance, recently shattered the world record with a run of 837 at 18.2 balkline WHAT DOES “B.P.” MEAN TO YOU?
