PAGE TEN MUNCIE EVENING PRESS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1935, Hacry Sporls I ress UflCIG SE'CSAGE S5 A1 Watched in Week-End Gridiron Battles A They'll Be hi 9 rl I If 111! I -V. A X' I iRAYSON DR. JOCK SUTHERLAND says that Joe Stydahar, West Virginia captain, is the best tackle that Pittsburgh has faced this season. "I doubt that there is a more formidable tackle in the country," asserts the renowned coach of the Panthers. Sutherland remains in West Virginia in naming the first young man on his list of great backs.

He is Leonard Barnum, of West Virginia Weselyan. "Offhand, I would say that Barnum can do everything a bit better than anybody else." opines the soft-spoken doctor. "He can run faster in a football suit, kick farther, pass more accurately than any other athlete I can recall at the moment. I suppose he can eat nails better, too. He weighs 195 pounds and runs the high hurdles in 16 seconds.

He's a finer all-round back than Cliff Battles." Stydahr and Barnum are striking examples of the injustice of All-America Because West Virginia and West Virginia Weselyan have only fair records and do not appear before big crowds, neither is likely to get anything more than honorable mention, if that. Must Be Content to Rank With Great at Schools. Yet Stydahar's career at West Virginia is paralleled only by that of Ira Errett Rodgers. a rushing and passing back who did make the All-America, and Little Sleepy Glen, both now members of the coaching staff and regarded by Tri-State football followers as the greatest performers who ever wore the Gold and Blue. Naturally, Barnum will take his place alongside of the accomplished Battles in West Virginia Wesleyan gridiron history.

West Virginia Weselyan wishes that there was one born every year. Stydahar is rounding out his third campaifn as a Mountaineer in brilliant form. Big Joe stopped Pittsburgh's running game almost single-handed in the second half, when the Panthers failed to chalk up a single first down. Stydahar stands 6 feet 4 and weighs 220 pounds. He has one of the largest pair of hands in the business.

A vicious tackier and a bruising blocker, Big Joe is fast getting down under punts despite his bulk. Andy Kerr. Colgate coach, last year invited Stydahar to accompany the Eastern AH Stars to San Francisco for the Shine benefit game on New Year's Day, but Big Joe declined because he was a junior. Kerr regards Stydahar as one of the east's finest linemen and will likely re-extend his 1934 invitation. Professionals Saw Value of Star.

Stydahar blocked five punts last season, grabbing the ball against Duquesne and racing 17 yards for the winning touchdown. Stydahar was named on the All-America college team selected by members of the New York Professional Giants in 1934, after a great exhibition against Fordham. On the same club was Tod Goodwin, also honored by the Giants last season, and who this year is the regular right end of the world's professional champions. Stydahar and Goodwin played side-by-side for two campaigns. Three professional offers have been sent Stydahar already this season.

Stydahahas not confined his activities to football alone. He is a six-letterman who has maintained a average in scholastic work. He was captain of the West Virginia basketball team of last winter, set the present high-scoring record of 100 points in the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference, and for three years was named on the first All-Conference teams. Stydahar and Barnum will be overlooked by the great majority of All-America selectors, including a number of coaches, any one of whom would be able to construct a powerful team around them.

North Carolina will wonder why they call Brunansky, lower left, Duke tackle, Gentleman Joe, before the Tobacco Triangle feature is very old at Durham. Joe Minsavage, Syracuse end, hopes to accomplish what he is shown doing in the center, against Colgate at Syracuse. Washington State is counting on Ed Goddard, insert, triple-threat back, to help make Souther Colifornia's season even more disastrous in Los Angeles. Wayne Mill-ner, right, Notre Dame lert end, wouldn't mind snagging another forward against Army at Yankee Stadium such as the one from Bill Shakespeare which gave the Irish their last-minute victory over Ohio State.

Daleville at Burris. Yorktown at Union City. Eaton at Royerton. DeSoto at Center. Selma at Farmland.

Jefferson at Gaston. Harrison at Albany. Heading Into the fourth week of the 1935-36 basketball season, one finds a peculiar situation among members of the Delaware County High School Conference. Three teams are tied for the top with a trio of victories apiece; just as many are on an even basis in fourth place; one has a grip on seventh rank and four others haven't won a victory among them in three tries apiece. All of which may prove something, but what it may be, the writer hasn't any idea.

Last week this time, there were five undefeated teams in the county, but two of them, Selma and Yorktown, had the misfortune to encounter Burris Training School on Friday and Saturday nights. Their consolation lies in the fact that few, if any teams are going to fare a whole lot better against Burris, this winter. Gaston, one of the three leaders, takes on a proverbial rival Friday when the Bulldogs will entertain Jefferson Township's combination of Upland and Matthews players. Jefferson has lost both of its games, dropping before Hartford City, 17 to 37 and to Fairmount, 12 to 26, so apparently, those Gaston veterans shouldn't be troubled. The strength of Clarence Christophers team remains unsettled so far.

Although Gaston has won three straight, its three victims, Daleville, Eaton and DeSoto, haven't taken a single decision in nine tries. Albany Appears Best. Albany should hardly be bothered by Ross Wilkinson's Harrison Township club, although the Cardinals have displayed flashes of basketball at infrequent intervals. Albany's triumph over a fairly strong Red-key quintet, last week, stamped Harold Anson's machine as the best that has represented the Wildcat school in many years. Cowan, the third member of the undefeated combine, will be idle for the second consecutive week.

Yorktown, knocked out of the select list by Burris, should get oack on its feet at Union City. Coach Mc-Cullough's men have broken even in two games, beating Fountain City, 28 to 6 and falling to Hagerstown, 20 to 25. Daleville at Burris will undoubtedly mean Victory No. 5 for the rampaging Owls. Daleville, whose outstanding achievement has been in holding Cowan to a single point win, lacks stature and experience to cope Continued on Page Eleven.

NEW YORK, Nov. Football has taken more lives than usual this year. Five deaths this last week brought the total on the Associated Press list, to 34, the highest since 1931.

Forty-nine fatalities that year resulted in a revision of the rules. Deaths this, year already exceed by nearly 40 per cent the toll of 24 for the entire 1934 season. The latest victims were two sandlot players and one each from college, high school and club rosters. Sandlot and high school football has accounted for the entire increase over last year's toll. 19 Schoolboys Die.

A composite of records compiled by the Associated Press and Floyd H. Eastwood of New York University, who prepares death and injury statistics for the American Football Coaches' Association and the rules committee of the N. C. A. shows 13 school boys and four sandlotters died last year.

The totals so far this season are 19 and 9, respectively. Three fatalities each have been chalked up against college and club gridirons, trailing the 1934 total by one in each instance. Eleven deaths have been reported from the East, "10 from the Midwest, four each from the South and the Far West, three from the Southwest and one each from Canada and Hawaii.

A trek of about a mile took me to a dry swamp in Washington Township, where I flushed a covey of about a dozen plump quail. It would have been a hard shot but a good marksman probably would have dropped one of them. I waded through a quarter-mile of thick horse weeds and kicked out one rabbit. There probably- were jthers but didn't see them. I had to break a new trail and was too busy dodging weed stalks and wiping perspiration out of my eyes to keep a very close watch for bunnies.

The big thrili came as I was walking along a bittersweet-covered fence between two clcse-cropped pasture fields. Almost under my feet, a covey of fine pheasants zoomed out of the grass. If it had been during an open season on the birds, a week day and I had been carrying a gun I doubt that I would have killed one of the beauties. The appearance of the eight or 10 big birds me almost out of my wits. They flew scarcely a hundred yards but they were running like the dickens the last time saw them.

The quail and pheasants were about a quarter-mile apart as the crow flies. There is no doubt that there has been considerable illegal killing of pheasants, although it is mighty precious meat if a warden learns about it. I've heard city hunters complaining that farmers are shooting the birds. I've heard farmers, without admitting they had been dining on pheasant, express the opinion that they might as well kill the birds because the city rabbit hunters would get them. It's a cinch the millenium hasn't arrived.

The game wardens can't save the pheasants their territories are too large. An officer covering only a square mile would have his hands full. Elwood's Panthers, who take on Central and Burris of Muncie next week in the first two games of their schedule, probably will make a determined effort to avenge that 20-to-0 drubbing given them by the Bearcats in the last football game of the season. And it isn't impossible that they'll get their vengeance. Coach Vein Shinn has five letter-men left from last season.

They are D. Hartzeler, Locke and R. Sil-vey, guards! Kurtz and Mutt, forwards. Other varsity men are Noble, A. Hartzler, Hodson and Mock, guards; Van Briggle and Ellis, center, and Austin and Riser, forwards.

Elwood takes on Centra at Muncie, Wednesday night, November 20, and plays its first home game against Burris the following Saturday night.

TV ITS OF LOANS CO-MAKER STOCKS or BONDS AUTOMOBOILE Muncie Industrial Company 117 East Adams Street NOTRE DAME IS LIKELY CHOICE FOR ROSE BOWL Despite Defeat, the Ramblers Have Inside Track. NEW YORK, 12. (U.R) Elimination of Notre Dame from the ranks of the undefeated has converted the race for a Rose Bowl invitation into a wide-open affair. But the Irish, "despite their whipping last week by Northwestern, ap-parenty still have the inside track. The nation today boasts but 10 majoi unbeaten teams.

One of them, California, will be the western entrant if it gets by College of Pacific next week and Stanford the week after. The othei nine all have tough roads toward perfect seasons and, even if they clear them, the cards will be stacked against most of them. It is no secret that the Eastern team invited West must have a certain amount 'of box office appeal. All of the Rose Bowl teams from the East in the last decade had that power. Notre Dame, which last played in 1925, has more crowd appeal this season than any of the other Eastern brigades.

Three Would Decline. Of the 10 teams that have perfect records, three probably would refuse invitations Minnesota, Dartmouth and Princeton. Thus the field of unbeaten elevens which could accept invitations simmers down to New York University, North Carolina, Syracuse, Mar quette, Southern Methodist Texas Christian. N. Y.

U. can be counted out because it has a second-rate schedule. Marquette is in the running but it, too, has an unattractive schedule and hasn't enjoyed the national ballyhoo that would make it a drawing card at Pasadena. Syracuse likewise hasn't a tough schedule and it has stayed in the select group by close margins on several occasions. North Carolina is a leading contender and may get the bid if it whips Duke and Virginia.

The Tar Heels are well known in the South but whether the West would consider them a drawing card remains to be seen. One Sure to Fall. Southern Methodist and Texas Christian have among the toughest schedules in the country. They clash on Nov. 30 and one will be eliminated from the top-flight ranks.

S. M. U. already has appeared in Los Angeles, beating U. C.

L. A. yesterday. T. C.

U. appears on the coast in December against Santa Clara. In all past Rose Bowl games, the Eastern team has come from beyond the Mississippi. Perhaps precedent may be broken this year but reports from the coast indicate that it is doubtful whether California crowds would go much for a second appearance of either of these teams. Princeton, as in 1933, is favored by the coast for a bid if it goes undefeated.

But the Tigers are prohibited from playing post-season games. Thus it wouldn't be surprising if Notre Dame were invited if it beats Army and Southern California. 1935 BEARCATS TO BE INTRODUCED "Open House" Will Be Held Wednesday Night. The Bearcat basketball team will have "open house" Wednesday night at the field house. In a two-hour program beginning at 7 p.

Bearcat first and second teams will play a series of practice scrimmages and Ernest Ebrite, McKinley Junior High School teacher, will explain the new rules through a loud-speaking system. The Bearcats will open the 1935-36 season Monday night against Farmland. Season tickets were placed on sale Tuesday morning at Central liigh School, and the sale ill continue a week Adult tickets sell for $4, student stickets for $1 50. LOUIS WALLOPS FOUR ON EXHIBITION TOUR MONTREAL, Nov, 12. (U.R) Joe Louis, Detroit Negro heavyweight contender, returned to the ring last night for the first time since September and battered four opponents in four rounds of exhibtion fighting.

Louis, whose last appearance was against Max Baer, started his exhibition tour before 5,000 persons. For two minutes Joe sidestepped his first opponent, Paul Cavalier of Chicago. Then he opened with a barrage of right and left hooks and Cavalier was saved from a knockout by the bell. Louis opened up in the last three rounds and quickly disposed of Stan Ketchell, Mickey McEvoy and Andy Wallace. McEvoy and Wallace also were saved by the bell.

Accent on Smartness It costs no more so send your fall and winter things to THONE 2090 rr ST 4 1,1 ft. many guns for the Lions. Dartmouth should continue its winning way against Cornell. The Big Green has it this fall. Zuppke Magic May Fool Bucks Ohio State's Buckeyes, still smarting from that Notre Dame shock, will have a chance to take it out on Illinois, but they had better watch out for the Mini.

Bob Zuppke is a tough fellow to beat when he points for one game. All Purdue has to do is to stop Ozie Simmons, Dick Crayne, and Iowa, which is isn't likely to do. Chicago, with Jay Berwanger in form, is the choice, to beat Indiana, and Northwestern should win over Wisconsin, Kansas State has too much material for Oklahoma, improved as the Sooners are. In the southwest, the parade of S. M.

U. and Texas Christian should continue, with the former beating Arkansas, despite a long train ride back from the U. C. L. A.

game, and the latter winning over Texas. There isn't a lot of action on the west coast. U. S. C.

may get back on the winning side against Washington State, but this one is a toss-up. Neither California nor Stanford should have much trouble with College of the Pacific and Montana State, respectively. On Sunday, St. Mary's and Santa Clara meet in their traditional struggle. This game always is close, and the breaks will have to go decidedly to one team to prevent a tie game.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 12.

(U.R) Inman Blackaby, Butler University fullback, today apparently had clinched the individual scoring championship of the Indiana Conference. He scored eight touchdowns and an extra point in the six conference games played by the unbeaten Butler eleven for a season's total of 49 points. Willie Karr, of Valparaiso, who has competed in but three conference games this season, is second In the league scoring with 34 points. He made five touchdowns and scored four extra points. He suffered a leg injury in a contest against Michigan Normal and probably will be unable to compete in Valparaiso's final conference game against Evansville Nov.

23. Ties for Third Place. Jim Wulle, of Butler, scored a touchdown aganist Franklin to gain a tie for third place in the scoring with Fay Johnson, of Evansville. Each scored five touchdowns and two extra points in six games for a total of 32 points. Spero Costas, injured Butler quarterback, is tied with Herb Banet for fifth place, each having 30 points.

Ccstas scored five touchdowns in five games, while the Manchester star made four touchdowns and six extra points in six games. Jerome Schilling, DePauw, went scoreless Saturday but held to sixth place with a total of 24 points. Howard Vire, of Oakland City, also failed to score Saturday, but remained in seventh position with a total of 20 points. Wabash retained the team scoring lead with a total of 211 points for seven games, against 30 points scored by its rivals. Butler is second in team scoring with 193 points, as compared to 14 points scored by its opponents.

BUCKLER AND HOSTER BATTLE TONIGHT Lightweights Will Headline 30 Rounds of Boxing. Jimmy Buckler, lightweight cham-' pion of Kentucky, and Jackie Hos-ter of Columbus, will tangle in the main go of a 30-round boxing card at the Armory tonight. The card will begin at 8:30 p. m. Both Buckler and Hoster are well known to Muncie fight fans.

Buckler decisioned Al George, Ohio lightweight champion, in the last offering of the Muncie Athletic Club. Hoster has fought here twice.

University of Pittsburgh. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12. A football season that has been unsurpassed as far as the spectacular and unusual is concerned roars toward its conclusion this week-end, with practically every major eleven in the country playing a game upon which will depend its ultimate standing in sectional or national ratings. The two standout games of the week are Army-Notre Dame, at Yankee Stadium, and Minnesota-Michigan, at Ann Arbor.

The Irish face their final dangerous, hurdle in the Cadets. No matter how easily Notre Dame has won in the past against other teams, the Irish always find Army providing rugged enough opposition to keep them going at top speed until the final gun. The coming game will prove no exception. Army does not boast of the man power of Notre Dame, but is big enough, and well-drilled, and in Monk Meyer has the kind of back who will make the going tough. Army's first-team line will hold its own with Notre Dame, but when the reserves go into action it may be a different story.

Shakespeare's kicking and the reserves will give the Irish an edge. Michigan is back again with an old-time defensive eleven, playing with effect its punt, pass and prayer system. This is just the type of football that will make the going tough for the Gophers, but this still is a Gopher year. Nebraska is moving along like a champion, and has its greatest chance since 1928 of beating Pittsburgh. The Huskers have Cardwell and LaNoue, they have the incentive, and have not had too strenuous going in the last few games.

Pitt still is looking for a really effective combination. A Temple team that has the advantage of a two-week rest will have a slight edge over Marquette. The latter had a tough game against Michigan State Saturday, and will have to meet a fresh Owl team, one that has been able to point for this game. Duke Last Stone in Tar Heels' Path' Duke and North Carolina meet in the southern headliner. North Carolina can win this one and be pretty certain of playing in either the Rose or Sugar Bowl.

Carl Snavely has a fine team and should be able to win. Another game that is going to be well worth watching is that between Louisiana State and Georgia. Georgia lacks the man power to cope succeisSSully enough with the Tigers. Kentucky and Tulane meet in a close one, with Kentucky having a slight edge. Both Tennessee and Vanderbilt have leund the going rocky thus far, but their records will not detract from the interest of this southern classic.

I'll ride with Ray Morrison and Vanderbilt. Alabama, now riding high, wide, and handsome, has a decided edge over Georgia Tech. Syracuse's record is going to be damaged Saturday when the Orange meets Colgate. The Red Raiders lost three hard-luck ones in a row, and are due to hand someone a real beating. Penn State has to come back after a really hard game with Villanova and meet Penn's powerhouse.

The Quarkers have had trouble with Penn State in the past, and this year should prove no exception, but the edge belongs in Philadelphia. Columbia gets a chance to even up with Navy, but the Middies have too NEW YORK, Nov. 12. (U.R) The following cable dispatch from Moscow has been received by the United Press: "Golf was introduced in Russia for the first time today (Sunday) when Leonard Macomber of Chicago teed off with a long drive on a natural fairway at Silver Forest Park just outside the city. A large crowd of Russians applauded the exhibition, and it is understood that the Soviet Government plans to build several golf courses near Moscow." My guess is that the next dispatch, if and when the Soviet courses are built, will read something like this: Moscow Leonard Macomber, who introduced golf to the Soviet, today was sentenced to 10 years in the Siberian salt mines by Commissar S.

Popovitch. "And put him in the deepest mine you can find," roared the commissar as Macomber was led away. "One as deep as those blankety-blank bunkers on the Caviar Country Club course." Yes, I fear Macomber made a grave error Henry introducing golf to the Russians, those people who consider five years long enough to accomplish anything. The Russians will find that five years, while all right for little matters such as subways and economic upheavals, is much too brief a period for learning golf. It usually takes longer than that to hit upon a thoroughly unsatisfactory grip.

Before the Russians find a cure for slicing, theyll need 10 five-year plans. Macomber made a grave error when he introduced the game by hitting a 350-yard drive. If he had to introduce it, it would have been much smarter to dub three in a row out of a trap, miss a two-foot putt, or slice three out of bounds into the Volga. Macomber made it appear so easy that the first time the head of the OGPU, with his wife and a group of friends looking on, whiffs one completely or looks upon his brassie second and sends it trickling two or three yards, Macomber had better start running. Those OGPU's don't take "no" for an answer, and there's certain to be the devil to pay the first time Comrade Stalin gets his whiskers caught in the rough or finds himself stymied by a briar patch.

And the Lord help Macomber if he happens to come up before a commissar who, on the afternoon before, had only to shoot three over par on the last four holes to break a hundred for the first time, but who put three in the lake on the short 17th to take a nine. Or one who lost a $2 Nassau when his putt rimmed the cup on the twelfth. He'll get put under the salt mines. The matter of dress is going to bother Macomber a bit. It will be up to him to introduce the plus-four pants to the bearded Bolsheviki, and it may cost him his life the first time one of those bearded vodka drinkers gets a full-length view of himself in a canary yellow sweater, lavender socks, and pea-green plus-fours with tassels on the buckles.
