Bir. the spirited young Logar. pridders. under the tutelage of Coach Bob Paris, are determined that Richmond press clippings will not cause them to topple over in a dead faint.

An air of expectancy has hung over the Red Devil camp this week as Fails and his assistants sent the boys through preparatory drills. The locals actually anxious to see what they could do against the vaunted Richmond powerhouse. Lineup Unchanged For the first time this season, Fans has announced he plans no changes in his starting lineup. He will rely upon the same eleven hoys who carried most of the load last week at Muncic. Even so.

Harrison (Wee) Smit'h, the big fullback, whose duties have been limited to place-kicking and punting, may be harnessed for a play or two. His shoulder separation is just about mended. There are no injuries to hamper lied Devil plans. The talented pass receivers, upon whom Faris depends, are raring to go. Jim Ricleuour.

who caught the touchdown pass at Muncie and Billy Jargstorf will be the ends, while Bob Sabatini. the rugged little customer at right halfback, also is ready. Pitchin' Jay Byers. the lanky cim'i'terbnck who hit his receivers 14 times at will run the ball club from the T-formation. Hounding out the forward wall are: Ralph Harris and John Hatten, the sophomore tackles: Bill Foreman and Jon Settlemyre at guards; and Ronnie Vinyarcl at center.

Glenn Cooke, the converted center who has been performing capably in the backfield, wil! start at left halfback, with Don Alberts as the slariinjr fullback. Unbeaten in 18 Games Coach Bill Ellas' unit, whose marauders have rolled up staggering point totals so are looking for their nineteenth victory in a row. T.icy haven't tasted defeat since Oct. 13, 1950, when Lafayette 1 bounced them handily. 35 to 13.

Richmond's record to dare follows: 27 to over Fort Wayne Central Catholic: 34 to 0 over Frankfort; -JG to 13 over Anderson; 60 to 0 over Castle: 54 to over Indianapolis Broad Ripple: and to 7 over Kokomo. Klias admits his team has more balance than thu undefeated aggregation r.nd consequently this accounts fcr the scoring punch. "We may slightly weaker de- ffiiMvely. because of our three sophomore line backers." All arc seniors in the starting JiiH'tip. excepting left halfback Tommy Fletcher, fullback Joe Myers and left tackle Charles Malone.

In the event George Peters, who shares the scoring lead with Fletcher is unable start because of a leg injury suffered in practice this week, his duties will be take-i over by Clark Leavell. a junior speedster. Richmond's bis. fast line is anchored by Lamar I.uncly. the giant end at 235 pounds, with Dennis Spicer at the other flunk position, lorn Holthouse will play riciht tackle: Jerry Usher, a blocker and Max Evans HIV -he aiiarcis- and Dale Steele will handle the im-ot Dost.

Klias' quarterback. Bob Ba-rett split T. docs all the passing and most of the punfing, if that ever becomes necessary. Stray Slants On Spoils 8Y JOHN STREY CLOSE SHOP FOR SEASON AT GOLF COURSE Jimmy Carter Regains Lightweight Crown Memo to the Logansport high school coaching staff: George Peti ers, a worthy successor to brother Jimmy as Richmond's "bellweth- er" may spend Friday evening on the bench at the LHS Stadium Paters, we were told by a Richmond scribe in telephone conversation today, suffered an injury to his right leg during practice. The report further stated that although Peters came up limping, he shook oft the injury as minor charley- horse until he saw a doctor after practice.

i Charlie Harter closed up shop on the 1952 golf season at Dykeman park links Wednesday afternoon. Although the clubhouse will not be available, Harter has left the cups in the greens for use of golfers i in post-season play. Harter is shown in the above picture removing his sign which hung over the door to I the clubhouse. (Pharos-Tribune Photo-Engraving) 'Could be the above is no more than a propaganda effort on the part of Richmond strategists but for what reasons? The Red Devils can turn loose numerous of other horses like Tommy Fletchor, Clark Leavell or the giant end Lamar Lundy, but they would miss the shifty Peters Running from right halfback, Peters has averaged 12.5 yards per carry (excluding the Kokomo game) and has counted 14 touchdowns for 84 ooinls. His performance against the Kats is noteworthy.

He scored thfee times on trips of 79, 28 and 12 yards. Kokomo defense maneuvers have forced six opponents to punt a total of only 13 times this season. In i plastering the Kats, 28 to 0, Eli-wood booted the ball once, while i last week, Richmond mauled Ko; komo, 4G to 7, and never bothered about punting.

PickSooners Over Kansas In Top Game NEW YORK once-tied Sooners were listed seven point favorites today to whip Kansas' unbeaten Jsyhau-ks in the only meeting of "top 10" college football teams scheduled this Saturday. This battle at Lawrence, Indiana Backs Lead Big Ten in Rushing, Also Total Offense CHICAGO Indiana fullback Pat Gedman and quarterback Lou D'Achille led the Big Ten in rushing and total offense Wednesday, even though their Hoosier squad was in the conference second division with two defeats in three games. Gedman had gained 307 yards on 53 carries for an average of 5.69, but Ohio State's freshman John Cassady had a better average, 7.45, CHICAGO Carter held the world lightweight championship for the second time today, the fourth man to boast such an achievement, but thousands of television fans probably questioned his right to the crown.

Carter, a 29-year-old New York Negro who knows all the tricks of the trade including counter-punching 'and how to protect himself in the clinch, blasted Lauro Salas, the only Mexican world champion, over 15 rounds Wednesday night in the Chicago Stadium to regain his old title. But to the television audience, SaJas. a 132-pound plunger who can cither fight defensively or go on the offense, made a tremendous defense of the crown he be- Heved he held only to please the Mexican citizens. Salas gave away three pounds to Carter', at 135, when the fight began, and thereafter he did his utmost to stay within punching dis- Hkely to decide the Big Seven for only 22 attempts. The Big Ten is blessed with three pretty fair "country" fullbacks for this campaign.

John Hlay, of Ohio State tops the rushers with 262 yards, but ho required three games to amass that total. Purdue's Max Schmaling has clicked for 227 yards and Alan Ameche, Wisconsin's record-breaker last year as a freshman, has ground out 221 yards, both in two games. The Boilermakers, boasting the inside track to the Rose Bowl goal, rank fifth offensively and third defensively, according to statistics released by the Big Ten service bureau Similar to the situation u'hich existed a year ago, the Badgers must depend upon somebody else to knock off the unbeaten leader. Meanwhile, they are ranked first both offensively and defensively. Credit Norman Montgomery with a share of the Purdue glory.

Norm leads the Big Ten punters with a fine average of yards on his 11 kicks.

After being held to an' opening tie by Colorado, the Sooners came back to earn that fifth ranking by crushing Pitt and Texas, while Kansas has defeated four rivals, including Colorado (by a 21-12 score). Kansas is the only team ranked in the top 10 that the oddsmakers cast as underdog, but they foresee plenty of trouble for Purdue (No. 9) against Notre Dame and UCLA (No.

.10) against Stanford. Purdue and UCLA each are favored, but only by six points. Michigan State, the nation's No. Buckeye quarterback John Borton held first place in passing with 359 'yards gained on competitions of 60 per cent of his throws, while Ted Kress of Michigan was second with 78 per cent completions for ISO yards. D'Achille made 399 yards passing and 25 running to lead in total offense with 424 yards and a 6.95 yard average.

Purdue's Max Schmaling and G'assady led the scorers with four touchdowns apiece while Earl Fisher of Indiana was the leading pass receiver with 137 yards on 10 receptions. In team statistics, Wisconsin's title favorites, though 1 team for the fourth straight beater, by Ohio State, ranked first week, is chosen by a comfortable 1 on both offense and defense while 20 points over Syracuse. Califor- Ohio State was second in each de- Badgers Again Top Yardage CHICAGO (UP) Wisconsin, pre-season favorite for the Big Ten championship, had only an outside chance for the title today but led conference statistics in both offense defense. The Bdtigers. last year's leaders in both departments, have averaged yards in their two games, and held their opponents to an averagi: of 262.

Ohio State, upset victors over Wisconsin last week, held second position in both departments. The Buckeyes also boasted the back with the highest average gain per play, John (Hopalong) who carried 22 times i for an average of 7.45 yards. Indiana, although beaten in two of three conference games, had two individual leaders Lou D'- Achille, passing quarterback, in total offense, and Pat Gedman in rushi'ng. Gedman gained 307 yards in 53 attempts and D'Achille passed and ran for 424 -yards, 399 of them on passes. John Borton, Ohio State quarterback, led in average of completions in three games.

End Ear! Fisher, Indiana, and halfback Jerry Witt, Wisconsin, led in pass receiving with 10 each. Fisher gained a total of 137 yards. Norm Montgomery of Purdue paced the punters. tance of his fast-stepping, nifty- punching foe. Carter, though four years older than Salas, began leveling with both hands at the opening bell and he never eased up until he was certain he had a tremendous lead on points.

After 10 rounds, Cartre had a practically insurmountable advantage on the United Press score; car as well as that of judges, Jim MciManus and pike McAdams, and Referee Frank Gilmer Then Salas, who had emphasized defense only, began to attack. So successful was his as- sauit that he won two consecutive rounds, but then Carter, coasting easily, rallied and never gave the Mexican ajiother chance. Even though a vast group of the crowd consisted of parts'of Chicago's Mexican population, cheering Salas throughout, they failed to boo the obviously fair decision, in which the votes of the judges and referee were 81-69, 84-66 and 82-68, all for Carter. The United Press card had it 82-68 for Carter, crediting him with nine rounds, two for Salas and four even. Salas was cut over both eyes during the brawl and though his corner tried to stem the blood, he) was a gory mess during the final three rounds.

There was no talk of a rematch, although Salas said he he could beat Carter again next time out. Teams Divide Series Purse NEW YORK (UPf Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick announced Wednesday the world champion New York Yankees cut their World Series p'j se into 27 full shares 36,023.32 each, and the Brooklyn Dodgers split their winnings into 29 shares of 64 each.
