Hank Casserly Sports Editor SPORT NEWS Hank Casserly Sports Editor i Official Paper of the State of isconsin VOL. 19, NO. 97 MADISON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1927 PRICE THREE CENTS dinette Lost as Cards Leave for Kansas Grab First Game 5-4 as Pirates Crack Preps in Stiff Drills for, Weekend Games YANKS RELIEF HERO Heavy Demand for Pro Grid Game Tiekcls Star Guard Ineligible; Sykes Out Thirly-Foiir Plays Taken to Jnylinuk Stronghold; 3lcKaskIe Remains Behind Bv HANK CASSERLY Minus the services of Paul Schuette vetrran guard, who was declared ineligible jesterday afternoon, and Bo) Sykes, another veteran lineman, thi Wisconsin football squad, 34 strong will entrain at 5-10 o'clock this afternoon over the St. Paul road for thejj battle with Kansas university, Saturday afternoon, at Lawrence.

Schuette announced his lnrligilitv late yesterday afternoon, and the stal wart guard will occupy the sidelines season. Sykes, counted upon to pla one Of the guard berths, was left behind when it became known that the veteran lineman would be forced tr write an examination In anatomy, Saturday afternoon, to clear up his work in that subject. This quiz is not of a serious nature, and in no way wul effect the elibibility of Sjkes, but i' simply one of those essentials that must be attended to, and, sad to relate, it keeps Sykes here, when he could be of great use at Lawrence.

George LUtF Wisconsint director of athletics, Glenn Thistlethwaite, Tom Lieb, eLonard Allison and Irv TJteritz, of the Card coaching staff; George Levis, manager of athletics; Joe Steinauer, trainer and Shorty Bartz, equipment man were in the Badger party. Leaving the St.

Paul station at 5 to this afternoon, the squad arrives In Kansas City Friday morning at o'clock, and works out there in the afternoon. The team and reserves remain overnight Friday at Kansas Citv going to Lawrence Saturday morning The return trip will be made shorth after the game. In last nights drill, the Varsitv re-pulsqd the Frosh, using Kansas plays although the aerial attack of thp Cap-pon coached team, as flashed by the Yearlings looked dangerous, th- Badger backfield allowing the Y'arlings to complete altogether too many passes. Smith, husky Frash fullback, made good gains through the Badger but most of the time he was stopped without gain. The Varsity lineup was shiftc 1 about considerably with Lytle, a sophomoie guard, used at one guard, and Connor, veteran lineman at the other.

Wilson was at center, with 'arks and Kete-laar at the tackles, and Hotchkiss. Davies, Cameron and Welch at the flank ex-tremities. The iniuries to Von Bremer and Mr-Kaskle, guards, whieh will keep them from making th" Kansas trip, fnreeri Thistlethwaite to experimert with Lv -tie and Taylor at the guard berths Tavlor, a fullback, shows piomise a lineman, and will see action In the Javhawk game, according to FOR CUTLER; BENCHES HIM anks Moore Big Hero; tops Bucs Rally Krrmer Weakens 3Iiljus Hurls Great Ball But Damage Is Done PITTSBURGH The bone-crushing pow'er that lies in the Yankee bats didn't assert itself Wednesday, but it asn't needed. The long drives with which Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig ripped the American league asunder were absent, but they werent needed. They werent needed because Pittsburgh's Pirates, title holders of the National league, cracked wide open.

The threat of what the Yanks might do or could do was too much of a burden and the kings of the parent maior went down the trail rf the vanquished to a 5 to 4 defeat in the inaugural of the worlds series before 41,467 customers. And as the Pnates went on their unhappy way at Fast a couple of them George Granthem and the one time btlligercnt Earl Smith seemed to be the goats because of misdeeds that gave the Yanks three runs and what proved the decision in the third inning The usual splendor of worlds titular combat was not for jins battle. What had been termed the two best teams to fight their esoective ways into post season conflict did not look their part. The Pirates not only blundered defensively, but their pitching with Ray Kremer, their ace, perfoiming was so shaky that after five innings he had gone where all bad pitchers go. He helped to beat himself by being too timid about pitching to Gehrig, the Columbia clouter, in the third, when the game fell apait.

His successor, John Miljus, was something different, but he arrived too late. The Pirates partially redeemed themselves by their attack. They refused to be awed by the speed, hooks, and slow balls that relied out of the hand of Waite Hoyt. They peppeied tim at the start and 'hey kept it up. They still were pounding away in the eighth and he vanished, but with all their pounding they could do no better than one run at a time and it wasn enough.

Meuse! Drops Hy. One of these tallies grew out of a muff of an ordinary fly ball by Bob Meusel, who does such things in critical times, but at other times the Yanks weie a stone wall defensively, especially at second base, where Tony Lazzen pulled one great play, and at first base, where the supposedly clumsy Gehiig smothered everything thrown badly or batted fiercely his direction. The Pirates gave their first indication of wabbliness in the first inning Paul Waner made a foolish attempt to dive at a short fly ball that should have been let alone for a singlp. It became a triple and a run. But the National leagueis drove back In their half end evened it.

Then Grantham made his monumental slip on a slow bounding ball, his weakness, in the third and this started the decisive avalanche. Kremer had walked a couple end Smith had muffed a perfect throw from Traynor when a runner was trapped between third and home. The Yanks scored only once af'er this, the run going over in the fifth. It was all they needed Pittsburgh's entry was able to fight bark mainly because of the deeds of the Waner boys whme seasons luck stuck with them and partly because of the contributions of others. Glenn Wright and Pie Traynor, couldn't come through wnh opportunity in front of them and that hurt.

Three times they failed with men on bases and one out. They finally produced In the eighth to erase Hoyt from the picture but the cool, crafty Wiley Moore, the Frank Merri-well of the maiors, strolled in with his sinker and steeled the Pirates onto the rocks. Nothing was gained for the Pirates by the fact that Ruth neglected to rise to the heights with one of his Homeric clouts. He didn't even hoist a ball into the air but he was hitting He singled in the first for v.hat became a run on Gehrig's bargain triple, he supplied the only hit that vas mixed up with the action of the weird third mnmg and he hit again the seventh, this being the only smash off Miljus. The Wisconsin football turn Is on Its way to Kansas where they 111 stop over for a dar, for the first Jnterseetional clash of the season and the fans here at home will be more interested in the result of this clash than the current world series.

4 4 Forty men will make the trip with the crass country team, coach Tom Jones and a trainer taking a large number of Badgers who will be pulling for a Cardinal victory, at Lawrence next Saturday. In preparation for the game Coach Thistlethwaite sent his men against the Frosh in defensive scrimmage last night, with the Badgers smearing the assaults of the Yearlings in most instances, although Smith, Frosh fullback tore through the A arsity line for good gains at times. In the aerial defense, the Badgers didn't look any too good, Kresky coming in for a reproof from Tom Lieb, for his attitude when a number of passes were completed In the It isconsin halfbacks territory. 4- The Kansas offense, as taught the Frosh by Coach Holmes, Is a six count affair before the ball is bi ought into play, and unless the writer misses his guess, the Badger linemen are going to recehe numerous penalties for offside play. If the Jayhawkers use this long drawn out count They also employ a fan formation for sweeping end runs and pass attacks and may puzzle the Cardinal clad warriors for some few plays, but which should be sohed after a couple of gains, and It may be that the Badgers can halt this maneuver before It gains an inch.

4 4 4- 'Markic Schmitt, former Central high school gridiron and cage star was right end on the Frosh team and the youngster looked good. With more experience Schmitz will be a valuable man to have around next fall, as he has the size and weight, and his basketball ability should make his adept at receiving passes. 4- 4- Welch and Cameron, veteran ends alternated with Hotchkiss and Davis on the first eleven, and both the vets will see action in the Jay hawk fray, and they may even start, although this appears hardly likely at the present writing. Lytle was stationed at a guard berth, as Bob Sykes cannot make the trip, an examination In anatomy, Saturday making his presence here desirable. This exam has nothing to do with Sykes cltgioility, but is simply to clear up this course and gie him more time for both his studies and football.

4 A on Bremer and Conner are the probable starters at guard, and while the blonde Dutchman from Chicago, is not in the best of shape that makes little difference to him He'll play if he has two legs under him. All of whith reminds us of a story that ''Doc A1 Tormey tells regarding Robert Parker Butler, better known as Butts" who was named on the late Halter Camp's 1112 All American eleven as tackle. Butler broke his thumb in one of the early games in m2 at Camp Randall and between halves. Dr. Fvans of the Iniversity examined it.

Fvans was all for having Butier put the broken thumb in a splint, saying, You'll be out for a couple of weeks with that: Like hell I will, replied Butler. Just fake this thumb up and I'll show And Butler did playing throughout the season with the injuied thumb. 4 4 Al" alo tells a good otic on Walter Eckcrsall bark In 1911. Eckcrsall was Ahere to cover an impoitant football game, but met a number of congenial souls in the Paik Hotel, who regaled him with the stuff that cheers. Walter ran out to eaten a passing street car with just enough time to get to Camp Randall.

Some time later he awoke and the conductor yelled, End of the linp, all out, and Eckersall found himself at the South Madison terminal He arrived at Camp Randall just after the second half started and wrote one of his usual marvelous stones of the game, which he hadn witnessed for the most part, but tha dorsn matter to an All American quarterback. 4 4- 4 Speaking of Eckersall, many of the fans have often wondered why Alonzo A. Stagg, Chicago coach, and he were not on speaking terms. They are right now, but it Is only for the past couple of years. When Eckeisall was graduated fiom Chicago, him with a beautiful watch with the pictures of his teammates for the hours with Stagg's picture for twelve o'clock.

Eekie sold the Watch the same day he received the gift to a saloonkeeper, and the latter individual tried to sell it back to Stagg. That ended all fnendly feeling between the Grand Old Man and Eckersall, and only lately have the pair spoken to one another. 4 4 Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite is known to many of the gridiron fans, but few if any of them have seen the Badger football mentor between halves at a football game. This is the real test of a coach, even more so that his actions on the field, for it is in the dressing room that he must point cut the mistakes of the men in the first half, and above all else send them onto the field with a burning tl.vire to annihilate the opposition while at the same time having a clear brain which can diagnose the attack and defense of the rival team, 4-4-4- Many coaches rave and (ear their hair, upsetting the bus's and allowing them but scant rest during this all important period between halves. Not so Thistlethwaite.

He ralms down the players, makes them relax, and goes quietly and calmly from one player to another, pointing out the mistakes made in the preceding two quarters and advising them as to the proper method of procedure to be called into play during the final two quarters. 4 4 As calm as the proverbial rucumber, Glenn ta'ks nuietlv to the individual players, making them remain in reclining poiucns, while he does so, until just before he is notified that but rwo minutes the rest period remain. Then with a few words, but these few pregnant with meaning he sends his atriors fo-th to bat'ie for their Alma Mater, and they come through.

Series Sidelights I By The Associated lressl It pajs to advertise. Rabe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and the I ancr bo, thp widely hailvhooed quartette on whom the rival defenses were supposed to be concen-t'ated, turned out to be the hitting stars of tne openings game. They collected ght of the fifteen hits of the day and scored five of the lime runs. 4 4 Babe Rutb didnt take a strike in four t.mse up, either swung or connected. The home run king taught the hist ball pitched for singles on his first two turns at bat.

He took one ball before gioundmg out to Grantham in the fifth and watched another ball in the seventh before lining his third hit to center. 4 Lou Gphrig was the field ng star of the opener. The Alumnus dug em out ot the dirt or speared em from any angle. He saved both Laz.zeri and Kotnig fiom possible errors on bad throws and engineeied three putouts unassisted. 4 4 The baseball plavers who write for the papeis as a sideline had their ranks swelled hv a number of recruits.

The New A oik Giants were represented in the pies box bv their manager and captain, both John McGiaw and Rogers Hornsby taking their pens in band. Hnnus Magner, the Firate slugger of 20 jears ago, sat near the front and took many notes, 4 4- 4" Host found that he could not stand prosperity pitching to Grantham in the second inning. The first two pitches were strikes and then Grantham stood with his bat on his shoulder and atch-cd four balls go by. 4 4 4 At the end of the first game there was nothing to choose between the difference of opinion resulting in wageis that Babe Ruth would have more home inns than stnkeouts. He had neither.

Today Sees Finish Of Busy Week Prop 3lcntors See Improvement In Squads Despite Weather Setbacks Today will sre the last intensive practice sessions for the local high school football teams before they line up against strong f-js ever the weekend. Although inclement weather ha retarded the progies of the teams through prevjnting outdoor work to some extent, all tne 'earns have shown great impr ivenirnt, ar.a bid fair to be on the long of the scores in the approaching games.

East Drills on Defense With the center of his football field inundated, Coi-h Aiciie Morrow and his men were forced tc frisk around the edges yesterday order to get their daily dozi wuheut wallowing in the mud, consist-nt ians having left the East High field iu bad shape for practice. The Purple men hgan their work by limbering up via the drop kicking ion aft vr winch then coach divided them into t.vo sections and drilled them hard on defense and tackling. The East men, having as yet been untried, it is difficult to say just how they will comport themselves in these stages of the game. Drive, drive, and more drive is the goal towards which Morrow is working and he hopes that bv Saturday he w.ll have a sufficien' amount of it injected into his team to make things extremely Warai and interesting for ho me amors. In the sci tonnage that followed, the werk of one Schulz, a speedy halfback must have givn Coach Morrow a great deal of satisfaction Schultz is a fairly heavy man who has the speed an antelope and ran cut, duck, dodge, in fact everything trat a good halfback should be able tc do.

Moreover he is a student, a thing which means much to anv coach for a good football play Is of little value If he can't keep I ts grades up. What might be called the first squad in yesterday's practice was made up of Schantz at center; Ai Recque and G. Johnson, guards, Edmon and N. Recque, tackles; Haipc and Rubado, at the wing pos tions. In the backfield.

Bazan acts as ouaiter, Gallagher and Schultz, halfba' ks and Cirves at full. Firsts Romp Over Seconds This combination ran wild over the seconds with Schultz advancing the ball most of the nme. The second team lined up as tollow's: Pollack, center; Joachim and W. Johnson, guards; Langetieg and Holl, tackles; Bolstad and Kocvera at ends, Gilbert played quarter, Clements and Busse halfbacks, with Borgstrom at fullback. Given fair weather the East squad will get plenty of scrimmage along with its daily work and the team that lines up against Racinp next Saturday afternoon will be a well drilled one even if it is made up of Toros for the most part.

Prep Line Develops Drive Coach Jacques put his Blue and White gridders through what was their last intensive drill before the Mount Horeb game yesterday afternoon, only a light signal practice being scheduled for today. The Prep squad was forced to go through its paces minus three players, Laughbrough, center, Jasper, guard; and Petey Nelson, halfback. Neither of the men will be out of the lineup tomorrow since light colds are their only ailments. Blocking and tackling camevm for the greatest amount of attention yesterday and the little squad is showing much improvement. The Prep line is also developing considerable drive, something which was sadly lacking in last Saturday's tussle and with the week spent in correcting the faults of the team as they showed up in tito Monroe game, the West team will undoubtedly be a much stronger foe than they were in their first game.

Central Scrimmages at the Central camp the Orange gridders are working like beavers in preparation for Saturdays game with Janesville which will be a stiff battle in the opinion of the coach. Fundamentals and signals wTere first on yesterdays bill after which the Central men wne given a taste of scrimmage but the field was too wet for effective work to be done on either side. Tne line is beginning to show improvement and it is hoped that Saturday will see that department of the team far stiffer than it was when Way-land tore it up. In the backfield, Coach Johnson tried a combination composed of Pip Nelson at quarter; fetaab at full; and Gary and Kaeser at halfbacks. This srt of backs is strong and fast and with a dry field, plus a strengthened forward wall the Central aggregation will cause the redoubtable Janesville eleven a good deal of trouble.

FIGHTS LAST NIGHT TACOMA, Wash. Harry Dillon, Winnipeg, won from Everett Strong (6). For the first time in 200 years, parts of Westminster Abbey are bring thor oughly cleaned. 31 i I av a Badgers Strengthen Lineup for Neers All Star Eleven That the first Professional football game attempted in Madison would be a success was assured today with the announcement that more than 400 reserved seats had been sold by Wednesday evening. On the Badger roster appear such old Wisconsin favorites as Joe Wilke, Butch Leitel, Adolph Bieberstem, Kibo Brumm and others.

These men were all stars while members of the varsity, and foo'ball fans will be anxious to see how They will stack up against such line smashing as the great Nevers is capable of producing. In addition to the above men the Milwaukee team nas in its forward wall two very capable ends in Red Carroll and John Fahay and ar outstanding tackle in Weer, the former All-Southern tackle from Alaoama. Behind this line the Badgers will have one of the best backfields in professional football today. Supporting the Incomparable Johnny Mohardt, who will pcrfoim at one of the halfback positions, will be Doc Connell, who was known at Notre Dame as the fifth horseman, Eddie Coy, the great Georgia teeh quarterback who ranks with Paddy Driscoll rs a drop kicker, Ghar-rity, the former Gonzaga fullback, whose plunging ability earned him the title on the coast of a second Nevers, Johnny Helmsch, former Marquette star, and several other men of lesser fame, who are all very able pei formers. Led by the great Nevers the Northmen aie considered today the strongest team in Protessional football.

Nevers himself has no equal on the gnd-iion according to the great coaches and critics who have seen him perform. He is undoubtedly The gieatest smashing fullback the game has ever developed, is an excellent punter and drop kicker and a great forward passer, while his defensive work is far above par. Anxious to win the championship in the Pro league this season the great Leiand Stanford player has surrounded himself with the greatest galaxy of stars ev qr -assembled on the chalk lined field. Every man in his backfield has won All-Coast honors during his college days. Blood, a halfback whom coast papersjgave credit for outshining Mueller, Imlay, Wilson and Grange in a game played on the coast last jear in which all these well known stars participated.

Blood is a triple threat man and an able running mate for Ernie. Other outstanding men in the backfield are Bun Belden, running mate to George Wilson at Washington for three seasons and Dodger McCarthy, all-Coast quarterback at California for three seasons. Suppoiting his all-star backfield Nev-eis has avcritaole stone all for a line. Fav Suess, the giant tackle, Is the mainstay of the Eskimos foiward wall and was easily the outstanding line man Pro footoall last season. I The game is to be played at Breeze Stevens field, Sunday, Oct.

Pennock Ready for Series Play PITTSBURGH -If Miller Huggins desirrs to use Heib Pennock in the world's series, as he most likely will, the southpaw will be ready.

The drive which Cedric Durst bounced against one of Pennock's siendpr underpinnings was not as injurious as it was painful. Herb was out in uniform jesterdav, taking a vigorous warmup before the game and if the mtury caused him any discomfort he concealed it very skilfully. Channel Beats Miss Glitz on Sixth Try 1)01 FR.

Villartova Seeks Badger Game for 28 Villanova, a small college on the outskirts of Philadelphia, coached by Harry Stuhldrrher, quarterback on the Four Horseman eleven of Notre Dame, Is anxious to bring Wisconsin Fast npxt fall for a big game, according to telegram from a Quaker City sport aeribe. It was impossible to reach George Little or Glenn Thistlethwaite late this mornirg for any verification of the rumor, but such a game is hardly likely for the Badger gridders of 1928, as the schedule Is practically drafted, and It As highly improbable that the Badgers would go east for an early season game with Villanova. FANS CLAMOR POOR FORM By ALAN J. GOl'LD Associated Tress Sports Editor PITTSBURGH Hazen (Kiki) Cuy-Ier, fleet outfielder of the Pirates and a hero of the 1925 world's series, is not taking part so far in the championship battle with the Yankees because, in the opinion of Pittsburgh executives, his present playing form is below that of any of the outfield regulars and some of the other substitutes not because of any personal prejudice or for any mysterious reason.

This statement, dealing with an issue which is being almost as hotly debated as the outcome of the series Itself, was given to The Associated Press today bv Sam Dreyfus, treasurer of the Pittsburgh club, in response to a request to clarify a situation that has provoked a flock of fast flying rumors. The question Why dnrn't Pittsburgh use Cuyler'' is on nearly every tongue where baseball men gather. It was in the minds of hundreds of fans Wednesday as they shout'd We ant Cuyler In the ninth inning, W'hen Freddie Brickell, instead, was sent in as a pinch hitter for Pitcher John Miljus. One of the most peisislent of Cuvier reports has been that differences between the outfielder and the Drev-fuss Sam and his father, Barney, club president kept Ktki out of the game, not a dispute with DonF Bush, the manager. But Sam Dreyfuss quickly settled this.

It Is solely an Issue between Cuyler and Bush, he said. Bush is mana-yrr of the club. What he does in handling the team is not dictated by my father or myself. Bush refused to discuss Cuviers case, other than to say he will use him when the need arises. Glcnna Collett Eliminated In Canadian Golf Virginia Van Wie Defeats Mrs.

Toledo Beats Buffalo 3-2, In Little Scries Mmlhons Nccil But One More Victory lo End Junior World Series IBv The Associated Tress 1 TOLEDO JeoS Barnes, a veteran of two woild seiies, pitched Toledo to another victory over Buffalo 3 to 2 in the junior baseball classic Wednesday, giving the Amriican association champions a lead over Buffalo of four games out of five for the class A. A. title.

With his support wabbling at critical moments, Barnes pitched himself out of tight places. He struck out the last man at bat, Andtrson, a pinch hitter, with runners waiting on second and thud to score.
