IAONROE EYENING TIMES, MONROE, WISCONSIN. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1945 PAGE FIVE Indiana Great Hurdle for Hoosiers, Seeking Their First Title McMillin Outfit Strengthened as Veterans Return university's undefeated football team ranked favorite today to hurdle its next to last obstacle on its march for the Hoosiers first Western conference grid championship. In the 49 years of competition in the Big 10 every school has won at least one football title except the Hoosiers, But victories" over Minnesota Saturday and against Purdue, their arch rivals, on Nov. 24 would give them their initial conference crown. The Hoosiers held the favorite role against the once mighty Gophers because of their season's league record of three wins, no defeats and a tie as compared to Minnesota's lone victory in three conference games.

Indiana, in its opener, dumped Michigan, 13-7 while the Wolverines poured it on the Gophers last week in -a 26-0 triumph. The only blemish on the league record is the 7-7 tie with Northwestern, which, incidentally, was humbled by the Gophers 30-7. But Indiana has been strengthened since the season got under way. Two regulars have returned from military service and another first-stringer, out with injuries, is ready for action in the Hoosiers' final games. The returned veterans are Howard Brown, at guard, and Pete Pihos, who has been converted from end into a fullback.

John Canaday. scheduled to play fullback until he was injured after summer practice, has recovered and will be starting center. At Minneapolis, Warren Beson, attending classes at Minnesota while on 45-day furlough from the army, yesterday was groomed for center of the Gopher team. Beson probably will get in the Indiana game as replacement for Dick Van Dusen, regular center, who is scheduled to leave the squad for navy duty next week. Billy Conn Says Exhibitions Won't Give Him Condition Kansas Billy Conn, the fancy boxing Irishman from Pittsburgh, says he is-convinced that exhibition fighting is a "heck of a poor way" to get in condition for his championship bout with Heavyweight King Joe Louis next June.

That's why, he said after a 3-round appearance here last night, he is quitting "show off" stuff in favor of serious training for a return engagement with Brown Bomber. "You can tell the world I'm handsome ex-army corporal de- through with exhibitions, the dared. 'Tans dont realize it's only an exhibition," Conn explained. "Thev expect me to show the same" boxing skill I used that night in 1941 when I boxed rings around Louis for 12 rounds before I got careless." Overweight and not "up to his usual speed, Conn threw a few fast hooks at Bearcat Jones in the last minute of the exhibition, but he admitted that he had a "long way to go" before he's ready for Louis.

New Wildcats Lynn Waldorf indicated yesterday that two" new additions to the Northwestern university football squad will see action when the Wildcats meet Wisconsin at Madison Saturday.

Earlier the association announced a finding 'that payments of fees to top Swedish track stars 3y leading sports clubs constituted a' breach of amateur regulations and. indicated there would be disciplinary measures against both dubs and performers. The association did not name the individuals involved, and had announced it wouid not do so until completion of the nationwide inquiry.

He entered the army last spring.
