EIGHTEEN THE EVENING INDEPENDENT. MASSILLON, OHJO FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 2. KIPKE GIVES PURDUE EDGE OVER CHICAGO AND PREDICTS COMEBACK FOR IOWA HAWKEYES By HARRY KIPKE Football Coach, University of Michigan ANN: ARBOR, Nov. ing up the job of picking winners for Saturday wouldn't make me mad at all, It's'a tough racket, this predicting, any way you look at it, but just gaze at the lineup the schedule-makers have handed out for this week.

No wonder you are reading all about sellouts for this week-end. Yost often talks about there being a rattlesnake in every woodpile. Well, they've got woodpiles galore stacked on about every gridiron in the mid- west this week. A lot of people are due to be bitten. Dopesters included, 'it's lucky I ran across this individual I told you about last Monday, the fellow who claims he doesn't know anything about football 'and therefore should be mighty good at picking good, anyway, as the dopesters who have been calling them so far this season.

I'm beginning to suspect, however, that Joe knows more than he'd like us to think. He Just told me he picked eight winners ouc of eight starts last he couldn't find the bookie to get on the pay-off. Then, to make me all the more certain, he started right in to disagree with me about that Purdue-Chicago game. Purvis and Carter look pretty good and so Purdue got the call, But up pops Joe and starts talking about named Berwanger and Patterson'and Bartlett and Flinn and some more who shouldn't mean a thing to an individual who knows nothing about football but who are certain to be all-important from a Purdue viewpoint. Right away we decided that this game, because of its uncertainty, is the standout.

Noble Kizer's team has been showing remarkable improvement as the season has progressed, and it is a well- departments. So, with apologies to departments. So, with apollgies to Clark Shaughnessy, I give the edge to Purdue. Another close game will be the one between Northwestern and Wisconsin. It is an.

important battle for 'both, with victory a very desirable and long-sought-for goal. Joe and I.both believe that Wisconsin has too much power for the Evanston men, though a warning goes out to "Doc" Spears not to let Northwestern get that six- point lead which was handed out by Ohio. If Potter gets away for a touchdown rtght off the reel like he did last Saturday it's likely to be pretty tough for the Badgers. Iowa is about due to come back this week and make violent amends for what has been happening to the Hawkeyes lately. Ossie Solem's men are no doubt pretty well fed up with those three defeats and not at all in the mood another.

Simmons should 'be recovered from his recent injuries and ready to start moving once more. OJ course Indiana has had a week of rest and that isn't going to make McMillin's ooys less ready to do battle. It should be Iowa's ball game, however. Buckler and Stancook go to Champaign, Saturday. Those Army backs have been ripping things up all over the east.

But the native sons in the Illinois-West Point melee are named Beynon, Lindberg, Proschauer and Portman, and that's four to two, If the game were to be played any other place than in Zuppke's back yard the prediction might be different, but on the home field the Illini should win. Zupp had better arrange for some good weather just to make the thing more certain, Ohio State will romp through its game with Western Reserve, coached by its old teacher, Sam Willaman. It will be just a breather in preparation for the tough conference games to follow. But the Notre Dame-Pittsburgh game will be something else. Here is the Ramblers' big moment.

Win this battle and the boys coached by Elmer Layden are right back where they used to be in' the olden I've been watching this South Bend team and It has been coming along fjjst, but I fear this Pitt outfit will prove a bit too tough a nut to crack. But Joe picks Notre Dame, so there you piactical toss-up. The little brown jug, most famous of gridiron trophies, takes its biennial trip to Minneapolis this It is going to be on the Michigan side of the field all during the Dopesters who have been scanning the form sheets and announcing that Michigan hasn't a chance, aren't going to move that jug until Minnesota has proved its right to possession. 1 Other teams have been in just th? same position as Michigan this: the unjax- pected has 'happened. chief hope.

p-. It will be a thrilling battle up there at Minneapolis. It will be a Minnesota-Michigan and tKat means a ask sorrie of the folk who have seen them in the past. Something else may go into the niche in the trophy case wKers. the little brown jug now ing is going in there until after tbs ball game is over.

See you later arid tell' you all about it! AKRON WEST TO TEST STRENGTH OF WASHINGTON HIGH GRIDDERS SATURDAY COWBOYS ON BIG TACKLES TO STOP TIGERS' DASH By LUTHER EMERY The Tigers of Washington high, face what may prove to be their severest test of the season thus far when they battle Akron West high at 2:30 Saturday afternoon on Massillon field. Undefeated in 20 games, West comes here with an enviable record and Coach Russ Beichly is prepared to go the limit to win. Though the Tigers have been made an established favorite in Akron, by virtue of victories by lop-sided margins, Coach Beichly has the reputation of pulling the unexpected, and most anything may happen when the teams take the field. Hold Secret Workouts An air of mystery shrouds the West high camp, and what will come out it nobody seems to know except Beichly and his squad, though Coaah Paul Brown is expecting some sort of an unorthodox formation designed to set his Tigers haywire. 'Since neither team has tasted defeat this season, the eyes of the state are glued on the outcome of the contest.

A victory for the Tigers will force state experts to give.them greater recognition, and elevate them to a post they will be considered possible contenders for the scholastic championship of Ohio. The Tiger team is fit and trim for the game, and all regulars are due to. start including Howard Button, first string quarterback who has been on the bench the past two wee'ks with an'injured leg. Dutton was hurt in the Youngstow South game. West Player Injured With exception of Farmer, a halfback, West too will be ready to shoot the works.

Farmer niay or niay not play, that all depending upon how he feels tomorrow afternoon. The Tigers will have a weight advantage of several pounds to the player on both the line and West, however, has two tackles of unusual ability in Matthews and Hoff, each of tip the scales well over 170 pounds. Massillon scouts declare the -pair to be the best tackles the Tigers have faced this year and upon their performance to a large extent depends West's chances of shopping the MassiUon eleven.

PICKS PITT AS VICTOR OVERJHISH Forecaster Also BeljeWs Illinois Will Turn Back Army FAVORS PURDUE Michigan To Shoot Works Against Gophers In Big Ten Grid Clash Minnesota Is Favored But Fears Wolves By WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer. CHICAGO, Nov. 2. While it did not amount to downright worry that may accomplish another miracle victory over Minnesota tomorrow, there were a few apprehensive shivers among supporters of the mighty men of the north today.

On their record, the Wolverines have little right in the same stadium with the Gophers, but injuries to Captain Pug Lund, all-America halfback, and Phil Bengston, veteran tackle, coupled with memories of heroics by other Michigan elevens, have added another to Minnesota's sense of security. Lund suffered an injury to his right hand, and Bengston an aggravation of an old back injury. Coaches and trainers would not admit that either would sit on the sidelines while Minnesota strives for its first home victory over the Wolverines since 1892. With everything to gain, and nothing much to lose, the Wolverines left their lair at Ann Arbor last night, ready for a mighty effort to accomplish the upet Coach Harry Kipke has been promising all season. Except for a few uncertainties as to starting lineups, the other Big Ten teams were primed for their assignments.

Illinois finished yesterday for Army, which was due at Champaign today. Purdue, hampered by injuries most of the season, at last had all hands available for Chicago. Iowa faced the India'na game with Oze Simmons and Bernie Page, veteran end, not yet recovered from injuries. Wisconsin had numerous minor ailments, but was confident of downing Northwestern for its first Big Ten victory. Ohio State figured to take Western Reserve in stride as a warm-up for its meeting with Chicago next week.

and Clark. Three of the boys are Ford and Ippolito Coach Willaman will start three sophomores in Ray Zeh, Gene, Myslenski and Larry Severs. The kickoff is at 2 p. m. One thousand high school boys will be guests of the joint management.

The game marks the resumption of football relations with Ohio State which terminated in 1913. State won that game 14 to 8. The first game was in 1891, Reserve winning by the overwhelming score of 58 to 6. Eleven games have been played between the two Ohio teams, the record standing six victories for Rescire, four for Ohio State, and one tie.

2. The lifetime dream of a. former San Francisco newsboy will come true tomorrow, when the new $800,000 Bay Meadows horse racing plant opens with William P. Kyne, as general manager and one of the chief stock holders. First track to be built and operated since pari-mutuel betting was legalized in California two years ago, the Bay Meadow's oval was conceived by Kyne, who since the days he "hustled" newspapers has risen to a position of eminence in the turf racing world.

YOST LIKES NEW GRID RULES SAYS CHANGES HAVE BROUGHT DESIRED RESULTS ANN ARBOR, Nov. Z. in the intercollegiate football playing code inaugurated this fall have had the dcs'red effect of opening up the panic, in the opinion of Fielding H.

Yost, Michigan athletic director and member of the national ruics committee. Yost likes the recent suggestion by Fritz Crisler, Princeton coach, that the k'cking; game might be helped by widening- the distance between the goal posts and possibly lowering the cross-bar. "The three important changes in the rules this year," Yost' said today, "were taking the five-yard penalty off the second incomplete forward pass, making the first pass thrown into the end zone count only a clown instrad of a touchunck, and rcduc'ng the circumference of the ball. "In the past quarterbacks have hesitated to call for long forward passes from the opponents' 30 or 35 yard line because there was danger that the ball might go into the end zone and the defense take it on their 20. This year such passes haves been thrown, and many of them completed for touchdowns or near touchdowns.

Eliminating the penalty for second incomplete passes has increased the number of attempts by air. "At the end of Ihe season I believe statistics w'll show more scoring than last year." The prediction made by Yost last winter that "under.the present rules the offense soon will have the defense begfring for mercy through development of the lateral pass" is on the way to being fulfilled, he believes. 60 Hounds In Jackson Test JACKSON, pack of 60 hounds, their baying echoing over the countryside, leaped away for the hunt today in the second day's trials of-the National Pox A trace of dampness that lingered from yesterday's snow and raiir provided desirable' conditions for the pursuit of Brer Fox, of whose family the hounds raised six and killed four in yesterday's unusual occurrence.
