A record opening-day crowd of 23,000 persons was present for the unveiling of Coach Cecil Isbell's third Boilermaker team and they were treated to a game which was left in doubt until almost the final gun, and which at times looked very gloomy indeed for the home eleven.

The pay-off punch for the Boilermakers came midway in the final quarter when, with the score tied at 7 to 7, the Riveters at last found the key to Miami's near-impregnable line and put on a 70-yard march which culminated in the winning touchdown. Harry Szulborski, freshman left halfback filling in for the, Injured. Bill Canfield; George Mihal, a reserve fullback from the 1945 team, and Ed Ehlers, former Riveter basketball star making his debut as a Boilermaker gridder, did what Isbell's backfield veterans couldn't do in powering this victory-making drive. SZULBORSKI started it off by taking a Redskin punt, on his own 23 and running it back to the 30, then slicing around end for nine yards to the 49. Mihal crashed over center for a first down on the Miami 45-yard stripe, and after Szulborski lost two yaras, pounaea tnrougn i the same spot for seven yards, three feet shy of another first down.

Then Szulborski, trying to pick up that yard broke outside of the Miami right tackle for the necessary yardage. But, after he got that far, he found the Redskins' secondary pulled far to the left, so took off for a 42-yard jaunt to the three-yard line. Mihal teased Miami a little off tackle with a yard gain and then Ehlers provided the clincher by bulling over right guard for the score. UP TO THAT time, errors due bad judgment and to inexperience had almost cost Purdue the ball game. George Papach, freshman fullback, committed the first blunder along with the right side of the Purdue line when he allowed an attempted punt to be blocked by Right End Ed Weber back on his own 21.

Quarterback Melvin Olix, on the first play, passed down the line to Left End Melvin Hoover who, after eluding Ehlers, went all the way to the 7V4. Left Half Back Paul Shoultz got to the 1 on two plays and after center Joe Kodba had stopped William Johnston in his tracks, the Miami fullback made good on his second try for the opening touchdown. Tom Cole made his try for the extra point good and Miami went into a 7-to-0 lead at the end of the first quar-ter. Miami stopped everything, from screen passes to line bucks, that the Boilermakers tried from then on the 23d and then two plays riod when Kenny Smock, the Indianapolis Shortridge boy who has returned to Purdue from the 1942 team, started a Riveter drive which put them back into the game. THIS TIME it was Bob DeMoss, the team's 1945 passing star, who came to the rescue.

Smock's running, which was one of the standout performances of the afternoon, brought the home boys to the Miami 33. Then DeMoss took over. He passed over the line to End Bob Heck, who went to a first down on the 43, and then two plays later passed to his other wing-man, Ned Maloney, to move to the Miami 19. It being Heck's turn again, he snagged another DeMoss flip, faked Miami's Johnston and fell Into the end zone. Fullback Ed Cody kicked his only extra point of the day to tie the score.

On DeMoss' passing, running by Smock and Bob (Stormy) Pfohl, a 1944 letterman, the Boilermakers almost got a score again Turn to Page 42, Column 8 ference champions opened their 1946 football season on a dismal note today as they took a 15-to-6 beating from a big and rugged University of Cincinnati eleven. A crowd of 15,000 watched thj Bearcats score two touchdowns in the second quarter, add a field -goal in the third period and stand off every Indiana drive except onev It ws the eighth time in In- diana's gridiron history that tha Hoosiers had lost their season-opening contest and it was Cin- cinnati's first triumph over th Cream and Crimson since 1935. ACTUALLY, the Hoosiers got inside Cincinnati's 30-yard line only twice. Once was when the Hoosiers marched 85 yards for their only touchdown, and the other was in the third quarter when they got as far as the Bearcat 27 before the powerful Cincinnati line held for downs and took the ball. Midway in the final period Indiana punched from its own 12 to the Cincinnati 32 but that was the Hoosiers' last scoring threat and that ended as Floyd Shorts intercepted one of Ben Raimondi's passes.

The scoreless first period was followed by a three-touchdown scoring splurge in the second quarter with Cincinnati tallying two of the markers for its 12-to-S lead at the half. THE BEARCATS' first tally was set up in the closing seconds of the first quarter as Pete Pihos fumbled on his own 25-yard line and Cincinnati recovered. A pass to Nickel and Fred Redeker's off-tackle smash had moved Cincinnati to the 14 as the period ended. An offside penalty set the Ohio-ans back to the 19 and after one incomplete pass, Don McMillan flipped a pass to Jim Dougherty for the score. Nickel's try for the extra point was blocked.

The Hoosiers roared back to tie the score on a drive that carried 85 yards. It was largely a ground attack that moved Indiana to the Cincinnati 41 and Raimondl passed to Hugh McKln-nls on the Bearcat 11. Pihos picked up two and McKinnis three to the Cincinnati six from where Pihos galloped through a wide hole off right tackle to Indiana's try for the extra point also was blocked. CINCINNATI'S second touchdown came on two as spectacular plays as you'd want to see. McMillan took an Indiana punt on his own 25 and lateraled to Dougherty who, i.

after being chased clear back to his 12, came steaming around to his left and raced all the way to the Indiana 35 before he finally was brought down from behind. On the first play McMillan passed Short to Willie Stargel and he lateraled to Nickel. Nickel cut sharply to his right and went over for the touchdown. Cincinnati's third period Held goal by Nickel was booted from the 20-yard stripe after OUle Freese had failed on a previous attempt from the 25-yard line. An Intercepted pass led to that three-pointer.

1 11 lam Smyth made a diving catch to grab off a Ralmondi pass at the Indiana 19-yard line. THREE PLAYS moved the ball to the 12 and Nickel then kicked the field goal from placement. Indiana had one good drive In the first quarter. A short punt gave the Crimson the ball on the Cincinnati 47 and, aided by a holding penalty, they got to the Cincinnati 35 but lost the ball on the 27 when a lateral pass was fumbled after Raimondl had flipped a forward to Pihos. Cincinnati didn't make a serious threat until its drive at the start Turn to Page 43, Column 1 Indiana State Terre Haute, Sept 21 (UP) Sparked by an Intensive aerial attack, Indiana State Teachers' Sycamores today defeated Illinois Normal, 13 to 0.

The first touchdown was scored mid-way in the second period when Fullback Oscat-Reeder plunged over from the one-yard line. Quarterback Bob Brown converted for the extra point. A substitute halfback, Bob Chester, provided the most thrilling moment of the game near the end of the third quarter when he intercepted a forward pass on his own 40-yard line and galloped through the entire Illinois team to score. The Indiana team registered IS downs as against the Red Birds' 4. Illinois never threatened and almost the entire game was played in its half of the playing field.

Badgers Win By 34-0 Count Madison, Sept. 21 CUP) Wisconsin, one of the Western conference's preseason "question-mark" teams, gave evidence of potential strength here today when it defeated Marquette, 34 to 0, before 45,000 fans. The victory was Wisconsin's 18th in 22 renewals of this old state fqptball rivalry. Led by Fred Negusan all-Conference center with the great 1942 Wisconsin team, the light, but highly effective Wisconsin line constantly piled up the Marquette backs and held the visitors to a scant five yards net gain from rushing.

In his first managerial role, Ruel will succeed the veteran catcher and coach, Zach Taylor, If lead in their final play-oft series. The Colonels can wind it all up tomorrow and from the going on the last, three nights they'll be heavy favorites to do just that. THE TRIBESMEN entertained the 8,483 customers by pleading from the second inning to the fifth but after that it was just of how much the Louisville victory margin would be. Al Widmar held the Indians to nine hits but once again the locals passed up opportunity after opportunity to stay in the ball game.

They left 10 men on bases. Once every sack had a man on when the side was retired and three times two runners were stranded. The Colonels never had to worry Itfter Jack Albright's home run over the left field wall gave them a 2 to 1 margin in the fifth frame. That blast followed Chuck Koney's single. AND IF THE Indians have anyone to blame besides them-serves for their present predicament it must be that man Koney.

In the first three games of the series he has had 10 hits in 13 times at bat, and when the Redskins finally got him out in the sixth he had a string of seven consecutive safe blows. Even on that out he drove in a run. Managar Bill Burwell used Johnny Hutchings, Paul Derringer and Earl Reid on the mound in the futile effort to stay close to the Colonels. Hutchings was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth, and Derringer was taken out by the same route in the eighth. But Louisville didn't show any favoritism the Kentuckians scored off all three Tribe hurlers.

THE REDSKINS got a run after two were out in the second. Wentzel hammered a lusty triple to the right center-field wall and Riddle brought him in with a double to the scoreboard. Another run went into the Louisville column in the sixth. Flair tripled over Wentzel's head to the center field corner, Walters then was hit by a pitched ball. The Tribesmen finally snapped Koney's hitting streak but his foul to Blackburn was good enough to bring Flair in as Blackburn hesitated too long before making a throw.

The Tribesmen got one of the runs back in the sixth but quick- who was appointed to manage the Erowns on Aug. 31, following the resignation of Luke Sewell, another former catcher. Under Sewell the Browns won their first American League pennant in 1944, dropped to third last year and were in seventh place when Sewell stepped out. Ruel's salary was not disclosed, but it was reported he will receive $20,000 annually, plus a bonus based on home attendance each season. "WE ARE HAPPY to be able to secure a man of Ruel's ability and experience to manage the Browns," President Muckerman said.

"I am sure he will be a successful manager and we will have a team of which St. Louis fans can be proud." Ruel also expressed himself as pleased with the terms of the contract and with the prospect of managing the Browns. He said he would stay here until Sunday night and then return to his home near Cincinnati. He wanted to see the Browns in action in the two double-headers with the Chicago WhiU Sox today and tomorrow. inougn was evident, jrom me st art that the husky visitors from Cincinnati, reputed to be the top high school eleven In the Queen City this year, was superior from the point of sie and speed alone, the local Cathedral eleven kept on even terms with the Panthers until after the second half got underway.

It was the tirst meeting between the two schools. Then the Panthers scored their second marker in the third quarter on a 63-yard march, and tallied two more times in the closing stanza as all the action took place In Cathedral territory. CATHEDRAL SET IIP its scoring opportunity late In the opening period. When the Blue and Gold couldn't advance beyond Elder's 45-yard-line, the Irish kicked to the Panther 20, Elder attempted one play and drew a 15-yard penalty for holding as the quarter ended. Jim Bart let then stepped back into his own end-zone for the punt, but it only went to the eight from where Vlnce Gatto and Rudy Bnyt carried the pigskin to the one.

Gatto plunged over for the touchdown. Fran Raihz's kick was no good. The Panthers lost no time coming back. Backs Charlie Squeri and Jim Murphy, who started as an end, brought the ball to the locals' 48 after the punl. Bob Menke, tailback, cut around the pnd HnrI swerved to the outside to reel off a Sparkling 4.S- yard run to the five from where i Squeri knifed through tackle for I the tally.

A 63-yard advance from their own 37 gave the Panthers their second touchdown, with Ferd Boops Buening and Don Jansen accounting for the yardage. Buening plowed through the Cathedral center for the marker and Bartlett, the husky Elder center and son of Coach Walter "Babe" Bartlett, booted the extra point. Karfy In the final quarter Jansen shook loose for a first down around his own right, end to the Cathedral 10 before three (TNeill Keeps Detroit, Sept. 21 JT Stephen Francis (Steve) O'Neill was signed today to manage the Detroit Tigers again in 1947.

Executive Vice-President George M. Trautman made the announcement and said O'jNeill was given a one-year contract in line with the policy of the Detroit Baseball Company. O'Neill thus will skipper the Tigers for the fifth straight season. He became manager of the club in 1943, finishing fifth. In 1944 the team lost the pennant on the Iat day of the season and won the flag and the world series last year.

IN ANNOUNCING O'Neill's retention, Trautman said: "During the past few weeks there have been rumors that Detroit would have a new manager next season. I wish to take this opportunity to deny these re ports and to make it plain that the Detroit Baseball Company is thoroughly satisfied with the record which Steve has made in the last four years. At no time has anyone else been considered as his successor." Trautman't statement referred to tha fact that tht team this Blua and Gold tacklers could pin him. Jansen knifed to (he three but. a five-yard fine for too much time-out set Elder back to the eight and the visitors ceded the ball on downs.

BARTLETT BLOCKED Flavian Wledekamp's attempted punt and pounced on the free ball irt the end zone for six more Elder points. He also kicked the extra point. Jansen and Don Menke, brother of Bob who left the game because of injuries, alternated orf-tackle plays on both sides of the Cathedral line to advance the Panthers one from where Jansen scored.

Browns' Manager St. Louis, Sept. 21 GF-Herold D. (Muddy) Ruel, a native St. Louisian, today signed a two-year contract to manage the St.

Louis Browns, the club with which he made his professional debut as catcher in 1915. In taking over the management of the Browns, effective next spring, Ruel will retire as assistant to A. B. (Happy) Chandler, baseball commissioner. His signing was made possible by the announcement earlier in the week that Chandler had given permission to President Richard Muckerman of the Browns to dicker with Ruel.

The three held a conference at the commissioner's home in Versailles, Wednesday at which most of the details were arranged. RUEL, WHO Is 50 years old, has had a notable career in the American League as catcher and coach. He gained his greatest fame with the Washington Senators, where he was Walter Johnson's last battery mate. He was the Senators' first-string catcher.
