The results of their labors will be put on display at Memorial Stadium next Saturday In one of ths earliest and most difficult Conference starts a Minnesota team has been forced to make. There will be many shifts In the Gopher personnel In preparation for the Conference opener, but the most important change will concern ths quarterback position.

There Jerry Usually in ers are working pretty tense. Newark-Miller of the so-called I than we have ever seen in such an attraction. The last three games these keen rivals have played have been the finest exhibitions of the national pastime that we have seen in a long time.

The Millers, on the usual run scoring record in Nicollet to Griffin, hard-working reserve of last year, will be given every opportunity to Justify the confidence placed in him by the coaches, who make no few times this year that Bush sluggers have been held to two tallies through nine frames. It's not likely to happen again. Donie Bush still has two southpaw aces in Petty and Henry with whom to win the two games needed to give the Millers the lion's share of cash. Donie had to do a little gambling with his pitching yesterday, and it was the only time in this series that he had such an opportunity. One game to the good, he trotted out Rube Benton in order to give Petty and Henry a little additional rest.

Rube wasn't right, and Donie had to go along with Day and Van Gilder. With all of the remaining games at Nicollet, the Millers should come through. If the International leaguers couldn't get more than five runs off Benton, Day and Van Gilder, they shouldn't worry either Petty or Henry much. And if necessary, Benton's arm may have enough strength later this week to win the series if it drags out to even games. Dixie Walker couldn't have covered more ground in the outfield Sunday if he had been chasing flies on a motorcycle.

tr -tr CHOKING CUBS COULDN'T WIN ON INSPIRATION IT'S impossible to win world's baseball championships on inspiration alone. The Chicago Cubs proved that with their pathetic showing against the New York Yankees. With a very mediocre team, the Cubs made a startling finish in the National league pennant fight to win. The bovs played over their heads once the secret of the fact that they regard him as the most logical quarterback candidate among all those who havs tried out for that important position. Kept on Bench Griffin would have been given his big opportunity to prove his worth in the 12 to 0 South Dakota disap.

pointment of Saturday, but a Severn charley horse kept him on the bench throughout That knotting of muscles hit him early in the week, Just at a time when he was believed rips to step into the signal calling assignment for certain. It is quite evident that through ths practice drills of the past two weeks, the coaches have found In Griffin ths best blocker, the best signal caller, and the most consistent and least rattled of the quarterback candidates. One of the most conscientious men I II II After tossing a nice pass to Robinson which left the ball on the South Dakota 10-yard line, Pug Lund, 12 to 0 Gopher victory, tried to hit the line in his first scoring effort but failed to gain much. Here the South Dakotans braced to stop the first Gopher charge, but on the nest play Lund slanted off right tackle for the necessary 10 yards. The picture shows how the Gopher line failed to charge up to expectations as the South Dakotans tossed the Minnesota linemen back on their own ball carrier.

But they were back to normal wnen the Yankees came along. For example, Billy Herman, second baseman, had the best year of his career through the regular season. His play was brilliant every day and his hitting was much better than expected.

Yet when he got into the world series, he was so uncertain of himself that he looked the part of an amateur breaking into baseball for the first time. It wasn't the actual misplays that Herman made that put him in a bad light as much as it was his failure to play the batters. He was out of Dosition time and again. catch on to the Bierman style of quarterback play, which Insists on calling plays in an organized series depending upon location of ths ball rather than on ths hit and miss schedule of the past two weeks of practice preparation. That system likewise calls for rhythm and smooth, ness, and Griffin has been found best there, too.

Now the thing is to determine if Griffin can maintain that even temper in an Important game, and he wo.n't have to wait until aft?

Northwestern. Purdue and Ohio State were installed as fa vorites for the Big Ten title. Cer tainly those four teams did nothing to embarrass that prediction Satur day, for every one of them contrib uted surprisingly strong early season showings. But the most surprising thing to me was the manner in which Iowa came through its Inaugural struggle under Ossie Solem.

My informatfon Is that any team that could defeat Bradley by a decisive margin had something, and Iowa came through with a SI to 7 decision that was nothing if not impressive. Iowa Biggest Surprise A week ago I declared that the alignment of teams in the Big Ten this year was unusual because of the uniform strength throughout By some critics, Iowa had been regard ed as a set-up as the Hawkeyes were attempting to find themselves after their difficulties which Jed to ejec tion from the conference and the in stallation of an entirely new system under Solem. I could not subscribe to that view because of my respect for Solera and because of the strength I knew Iowa boasted. And so it seems that even the so-called under dog in the minds of many Is no under dog at all, and that strength is evident right on down the Big Ten list Possibly most important at the moment was the unexpected early season strength revealed by Michigan in its crushing defeat of Michigan State by a 26 to 0 score. We had been informed that Michigan was pretty well crippled, and some even believed that Harry Kipke was not the type of coach who could develop a strong representative so early in the season.

But knowing of the strength of Michigan State, for Crowley really had a fine pros pect in his Staters this year, that amazing performance of Michigan was a revelation. When they de feated a team of State's caliber, and by such a decisive margin, we may expect the Wolverines to be right up in the running as usual. They just can't miss being one of the favorites from now on. Northwestern was held to a score less tie in the first half by a Carideo- coached team, Which unquestionably was inspired by what Notre Dame under Carideo always could do to the Wildcats. But Northwestern proved this without dispute: it had the stuff that wins ball games when it had to have just that.

Any team that can start at scratch going into the third quarter and run up four touchdowns in two periods is going somewhere because it has the punch when it needs it. Dick Hanley did not want to use his great ace, Pug Rentner, for fear of aggravating his injury, but he had to when Missouri put up such stubborn resistance in the first half, and Rentner proved his contin ued greatness by firing a lethargic team into irresistible action. Buckeyes Dangerous Ohio State has not been discussed as much as the rest of the favorites, but the Buckeyes are up there just the same. The Buckeyes proved that by whipping Ohio Wesleyan, always a capable outfit, by the decisive mar gin of 34 to 7. And that brings us to Minnesota's opponent of next Saturday in Purdue.

From Frank McCormick, Minneso ta athletic director who scouted the Boilermakers, I learned that Purdue has a big, hard charging line and an abundance of fast, driving backs, Kansas State under Bo McMillan re vealed that it had a sting in its attack by scoring twice, but Purdue duplicated Northwestern's feat by proving that it had the winning ha bit when it was demanded. Certain ly the Boilermakers did nothing to indicate that they did not deserve the high ranking of conference fa vorite. Among the remaining teams, there were no upsets since all of the Big Ten schools won. In those other games Illinois showed that it is emerging from its slump of the past two years by taking Miami, 20 to 7, and Coe, 13 to 0, in stride; Indiana repulsed a really good team tn Ohio univer sity, 7 to 6, and Wisconsin proved that Dr. Spears will be dangerous again by overcoming Marquette, 7 to 2.

The fact that the Badgers took on such strong opposition right at the start probably is more an indication of unusual and unexpected strength than in some of the other games. And that brings up to our own Minnesota Gophers, although possibly the least said the better. The Gophers won a listless 12 to 0 game from South Dakota State, and I must confess that they were a decided disappointment. I'p to Jack under The Gophers could muster only six points in the first half, and it was necessary to inject Jack Manders into the lineup when it looked as though they were due to be tied or licked. We had hoped to keep Man ders out completely in order to give his injury a chance to heal completely, but the Gophers did not allow that.

There were no outstanding stars among the Gophers but Milton Bruhn at guard and Roy Oen at center showed up wen. tsrunn was elevated from the scrubs only Fri day, and yet he had enough spirit and balance to be the best man in the Gopher lineup. Oen also played well but some of the glory was taken away by several bad passes from center. The Gophers proved without ques- four sensational plays in each of itself is pretty much of a toss-up Millers retaining a slight advantage. yesterday, still this club could score other hand, were far below their Park.

It was glaringly evident Saturday that the forwards pushed rather than charged on offense Saturday.

For no reason at all because there was little hurrying of the kickers, ths hooters were too hasty in gettinj away their punts in one of ths saddest parts of Saturday's play, and that phase will be given concentrated attention this week. Except for a power shown by Jack Manders during the six minutes he was in ths game, there was little evidnce of ths drive demanded, especially at full back, and that will come in for lt share of attention, too.

Most of the Cubs, even Charley Grimm, were panicky in every game.

They had little confidence in themselves, acting as though they were scared. They expected the worst in every tight jam, and their expectations generally were realized. The Cubs went into the series with a reputation of being a great defensive club with little punch. They didn't show either. Their pitching, with the exception of Warneke in the second tussle, was far inferior to the Yankees.

And the National leaguers' fielding was far below normal. In these world series, the team that plays the best under tension usually wins. The Yankees again were the money performers. Of course the Cubs don't compare with the champions from a standpoint of ability, but the lack of confidence played no small part in Chicago's rout. Colonel Ruppert must be proud of his Yankees.

His last three American league champions have won 12 straight games in world series. Magnates can't make any money that way. GOPHERS BRING RABID DOWN TO EARTH GOING solely by the score and Bernie Swanson's expert information, we imagine that Minnesota football rooters have come down to earth today as far as the 1932 Gophers are concerned. For no reason at all, the fans have been far more enthusiastic about prospects than actual showings on the gridiron warranted. Pitted against a team that should be taken in stride without much trouble, the Gophers had quite a time scoring two touchdowns Sat- urday afternoon against South Dakota State.

That only means that Minnesota fans had better prepare themselves for some lickings. The team will improve as the season goes along, but it's hardly likely that he boys will come along fast enough to cope with Purdue on an even basis next Saturday afternoon. In many ways, the Gophers' failure to show better than they did Saturday will do them and the fans a lot of good. The athletes will appreciate the amount of hard work they must do in order to finish chief ground gainer in Saturday's FOR GEHRIG AVERAGE ment building. He accounted for two of the Yankees' six runs.

In the fourth game he doubled and singled, drew a base on balls and scored twice. -Gehrig's one error came in the sixth inning of the fourth game.

U.R Henry Lou is Gehrig, smiling, deep-dimpled first baseman of the New York Yankees, was the outstanding batsman of the 1932 world series between the Yan kees and Chicago Cubs.

by Bruhn. As heavy senior division football teams continue their close games at South high field, a hot battle for the 1932 championship is promised with none of the five teams boasting a decided "edge on the field. The third week of the schedule opened yesterday with the scoreless games finally ending. The Ewalds defeated the Kunz, 6 to 2, in the first half of the weekly doubleheader as the Barnsdalls won from the Carl sons, 6 to 0. After a scoreless first half, an ex change of punts found the Ewalds backed against their own goal line.

Don Olson's punt was blocked and an Ewald player fell on the oval to score the first points in the league this year. Indications pointed to a Kunz victory until with five minutes to play, Virgil Johnson slipped through the line for a touchdown. The Barnsdalls-Carlson struggle was all even until midway in the final quarter when Bert Skeldon broke through for a 40-yard run and a touchdown. Earl Witty, former Gustavus Adolphus star, led the attack of the Carlsons. Roy Cleve and Chuck Frawley were bulwarks on defense for the -Carlsons.

Six thou sand fans watched Green Bay's Packers score a IS to 0 victory over the strong New York Giants in National Professional Football league game here yesterday. Red Cagle led the ball-carrying of the losers but couldn't gain consistently. McCrary and Hank Bruder scored the touch' downs for the Packers. by a leading Montreal sports syn their strenuous schedule with a passing percentage. And the rabid followers of the team aren't likely to expect so much of Bierman's first Minnesota gridiron edition.

There have been very few coaches who have come into the West' era Conference and turned out a apparently is no exception although everyone appreciates the fact that Bernie knows his stuff when it comes to getting the most out of his material. Bierman found some solace in Safe urday's narrow margin win in the certainty that Jack Manders would be physically ready for Purdue, Hs did not Intend to use the hard-hitting South Dakota muscle man in order to give his knee the benefit of con plete rest, but South Dakota's fourth! quarter stand forced him into ths lineup. Manders carried the ball only sparingly and ran with a elded limp. But that limp and stiffr ness in running was due largely to the fact that his leg was so tightly bnadaged he did not have full uss of his leg action. Pug Lund Stars After being held more than even In the first part of the first quarter largely because of unsatisfactory kicking, the Gophers cut loose with a sustained march in the closing minutes of the opening period and ths first few minutes of the second period to effect one of their two touch downs Saturday.

Pug Lund did most of the work in that drive into South Dakota territory, and then tossed 22-yard pass to Brad Robinson to send the ball to the 10-yard line, from where he went over on a slant oft right tackle. In the third quarter South Dakota Minnesota's outlook isn't hopeless by any means. The boys may ome along and be fairly presentable later in the season, but on Sat urday's showing against South Dakota State it would be well not to expect too much of the Maroon and Gold warriors from now on. ir ir ir It is barely possible that the baseball season will be over before the snow flies, but don't gamble too heavily on that possibility. PLAYERS' SPLITS SHOULD BE HELD UNTIL AFTER A LTHOUGH the Minneapolis players were fair to everyone on the club in parceling out their series money, we still contend that baseball leaders must change their methods of cutting up the cash.

One thing that must be done is to postpone the decision on the splits nntil after these, big and little series are out of the way. For example, if a player who has given his best for several months to a championship club finds himself cut off with a small share of the winnings, he can't possibly play his best ball. He doesn't intentionally let down, but he is not up to normal. Once he gets the idea that to Be a Difference of had the tioptiers in danger thanks t.jp Cards to Montreal or Not? he is slighted by his mates, ill have been conducted dicate, Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, and St. Louis, Oct.

It looked bad for the Gophers at this juncture, but Manders' entry into the fray rallied the Gophers and resulted directly in Sam Swartz's 32-yard run for the second Gopher touchdown. That served to stow away a gams which seemed on its way to being lost, and the Gophers won the opener by the narrowest of squeaks.

It would be far better to wait until these post-season attractions are over before cutting up the melon. It also would be a good idea A for one of the club owners or league officials to supervise the division of cash. Judge Landis has stepped into several quarrels of this type and re-arranged the split. One of the finest gestures the Millers made in their "money" meeting was to give Phil Hensick a full share of the junior series cash.

While he wasn't considered good enough to work in the games, he received a full share because he had been with the team all season and at all times had given his best. The other extreme are the Chicago Cubs, who cut Mark Koenig's split to one-half of the regular allotment and forgot about other park employes who in their small way had helped win the pennant. The Yankees were so generous that Landis had to step in and change the players' own allotments, report the club might be sold or moved from St. Louis is absolutely unfounded." confirmed, that Breadon was attempting an interest in the New York Giants, some weeks ago. Baseball men at Breadon did make an open offer, was turned down.
