"Smiling Bob" Sledge Sends in Entry List for Sunday Program at Fair By JACK I lDY. I nited Press Staff Correspondent New York, Oct. 26. LP) Twelve smashing regional collisions, affecting momentuously the nation's five big races for sectional championships, will headline tomorrow's sieniflcent mid-season slate of 220 football games.

Although Dixie will see the day's most torrid strife, the big-crowd game will be staged In the east. More than 70,000 fans, a new record for 1934. are expected to witness the 34th Army-Yale game at New Haven. The vastly Improved Yales are expected to show whether unbeaten Army will be a contender for the eastern championship. It is the Cadets' first major test.

Baton Rouge, Oct. 26 (TV Senator Huey P. Long and his thousand-odd Louisiana State university cadets steamed out of Baton Rouge at 5:10 p. m. today for Nashville after a fabulous cntrainment that Long enjoyed as much as a six -year-old youngster, and was as strange a combination of horseplay and mass efficiency that had to be seen to be appreciated.

Company after company of gray-clad cadets marched In waves down the switchtrack where the military trains stood with engines puffing, and piled Into the cars at Lng's dirction. The student officers and army military Instructors did the actual job of loading the men, but Huey did the shouting and directing. Long, flanked by his usual personal attendants and with detail of state police directing traffic, was there ahead of the cadets, aftre sweeping up in his high-powerd car. The university commandant of cadets, MaJ. Troy H.

Middleton, was In charge, but Long was In command. Normal Position La. Tech. Boucher Left End Waters Fulton Left Tackle Lowery Camp Left Guard Ruple Maxcy Center Brooks A.

If the Crusaders can win this one, they will establish themselves as one of the most formidable outfits in the section. Below the Mason-Dixie line a virtual Civil war is forecast with four banner melees on tap. Five contenders for the Southern championship will see action In these games: Ala- bama. Duke, Tulane, Vanderbilt and Louisiana State.

The latter team has been tied twice, but Is still unbeaten and at the half-way mark, still Is a potential threat. In the Southeastern conference Alabama tangles with Georgia, Tulane meets Georgia and Vanderbilt plays Louisiana State. In an inter-conference clash, Duke opposes Tennessee. In tli: midwest two unbeaten contenders for the Big Ten title, (Continued on followlnt PI By KAY WINN Natchitoches, Oct. 26 Special) The largest crowd to ever witness a football game In Natchitoches will be present Saturday for the Louisiana State Normal Demons and the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs' annual game on Normal field.

Play will start at 3 p. m. The contest is the feature of Normal college's annual homecoming day program. The college and city proper Is bedecked with festive colors. An extensive amplifying system has been Installed over the entire campus and gridiron.

A parade through the down-town district is to open the day's festivities and approximately 500 Louisiana Tech supporters are expected to lend color W.V...V.S. Tornado Wins by Small Score From Neville Hi BIRDMEN FALL BEFORE LATE RUSH OF ENEMY Joe Cronin, young manager of the Washington American league baseball team, was sold Friday to the Boston Red Sov, and reports here said be was given a five-year contract as player-manager. It Is one of the biggest major league deals of recent years, and involved a price reported to be the highest ever paid for a player, considerably more than the the Yankees paid for Babe Ruth in 1919.

Hirsch of the Louisiana State Fair late Friday that Smiling Bob Sledge, king of all the dirt track speed-hounds at the Industrial Speedway at Dallas would invade Shreveport Sunday with his fast Riley Special, the speed creation he hae been using to clean up all comers at the Dallas racing oval. Sledge probably personifies more the typical type of Texas race driver than any other speed demon participating In the gasoline sport in the Lone Star state. In the parlance of the old timer. Sledge would be known as a "two-gun driver," as he casts caution to the winds and disregards all the ordinary rules of safety, and places no limit on the throttle which hurtles his car to victory or destruction. In the last two weeks Sledge has been the big money winner at the Industrial Speedway at Dallas and now his ambition has grown to a point where he feels he can hold his own with world's champion, Gus Schrader; Canadian Epeed king, Emory Collins and the other stars entered in the Louisiana State Fair races.

Sledge's participation in the Shreveport races will add considerably to the program as he was the only one of the star Southwestern pilots who had created any doubt that he might not be able to return for tomorrow's speed program. The list now reaches almost a score of the leading drivers of the country and all that remains to make the closing day of the Louisiana State Fair one of the most memorable in the speed history of the country is the presence of good weather. The track will be fast as the result of the good work done by Morgan F. Bagley, the expert who has been in charge of it with the assistance of "Captain Mack" of the city glneneering department and his crew of assistants. Loyola Wolves Win Hard Battle From Springhill EXCELLENT TASTE Bossier City Bearkats hit their winning stride Friday afternoon and turned in a 21 to 0 victory over the Sarepta high school eleven in a game played on Bossier City field.

It was the third win of the season for the Cats and gives them a .500 percentage for the year. "Big l'ub" Partin, who is used both in the line and the backfield, plowed to the vent. Although the Intense rivalry between these North Louisiana institutions has been in existence for years, never has ther school made such major plans for the event, nor has lie annual clash enjoyed such statewide attention. A sweetheart of the Normal foot bull team, ami her maids, have, been elected to sponsor the jrlil duel.

Oct. (Special). Haynesville Golden Tornado continued its winning streak here this afternoon over Neville of Monroe by scoring a lone touchdown in the last quarter w-hen Wroten broke through right tackle for 15 yards. The extra point was kicked by Walker, making the final score for the game 7 to 0. The game was one of the hardest fought on the local field In several seasons.

The first half showed the teams to be evenly matched, but in the last quarter the Tornado started several line drives that carried the ball almost to the scoring line, only to fumble or be held for downs. No greater line play has ever been performed here than the work of Goree at right tackle. Baten at center, and Captain Heard at right guard for the Tornados. These boys broke through the Neville line time after time, throwing their ball carriers for losses, and on the offense they never failed to take opponents out. Sherman at right end played the greatest game of his career, doing beautiful blocking and receiving passes.

T. Maddox at left end played well, having to do the punting for his team. Ben Hall at fullback made the fans think of Charlie (Josh I Thomas, star of last year's team, in hts line plunging and In backing up he line. Halt is a very difficult man to stop when he passes the line of scrimmage. The game was an expensive one for the Tornado, as H.

Maddox was again removed from the game due to a head Injury. For Neville the playing of Basco, Apgar. Hampton and Causey was outstanding. Basco, the quarterback, brought the fans to their feet when he returned a punt for about 30 yards. Neville had several injured players who saw but little service.

Realizing they will face one of the best outfits In the state association, and a team pepped up to put on a show for the old grads, the Canines' only comment of prospects Is to Loyola scored in the first quarter and again In the second period, but the second half was a close deadlock with both teams filling the air with passes. Loyola started off with a dazzling air attack, but soon reverted to a running game. The pack forged to Spring Hill's 15-yard line in the first few minutes, but Roy fumbled to end that advance. A little after, Al Childress, a hard-running sophomore halfback, and Paul Jones ran the ball Into scoring territory again and Hughes tossed over the goal line to Henry Kaack, subbing for Young at end for the first touchdown.

Roy kicked the extra point. In the second period. Spring Hill led off with a passing game featuring tosses from Palmes which piloted the Badgers down the field. Bet they were never able to get close enough to Loyola's goal line to threaten seriously. Soon after the period started, Bobby Sarpy took the ball through left tackle on Spring Hill's 46-yard line and sped across the secondary defense goahvards almost unmolested.

Jones caught Sarpy's pass 1 nthe try for extra point, but was tackled before he could cross the goal line. The last quarter was a series of Intercepted passes.
