It was a bright sunny day in Bloomington on Saturday afternoon, comfortable for the fans, and perfect weather for Indiana final home game of the 1954 gridiron season, but the came up with more of that less-perfect play, as they dropped their fifth game of the season against only two wins. Miami of Ohio looked like I a mighty sharp outfit, in staying I undefeated, with a conquest of this Indiana eleven that finds the little pigskin hard to hold. I It was the fumbles that turned the tide, os the alert Miami team I gained possession on six of seven costly LU. bobbles.

But it was the defensive scrap, and alertness on those fumbles that kept the clean, with two ball games to go.

The victory was a great honor for the boys I from the Ohio town, who have I had unbeaten seasons before, but never one with a big Ten foe on the schedule. Pandemonium reigned, as the final gun sounded. Miami rooters, some 4,000 strong, were lined along the south side-lines throughput the waning seconds and when the final gun sounded victory for their boys, onto the field came the rush. The cheering, happy followers grabbed the players, hugged them, tackled them and carried them off to the dressing room, cheering and shouting all the way. The splendid Miami band then assembled at the west end of the playing field in Memorial stadium, and marched the length of the gridiron, singing and playing the victory song.

Over on the Indiana side, Bungs dottily gluily jjp- boys left the field. And there were lots of bowed heads, for this was the same Indiana eleven, that only a week before Ivad journeyed to Ann Arbor to upset a strong Michigan Wolverine club 13-9. Of course, this might have been the same team, but they hadn't played like t. I doubt if a club could fumble seven against Michigan, and leave shouting the victory song. Flo llelinski is still a good quarterback, for the Hoosiers, and the club well on those offensive manuevers, despite the fact that Indiana lost the ball a couple of times on key pitch-out plays, just when the club seemed to be rolling.

I still contend that the pitchout and a flat pass are two of the most dangerous gambles that, an offensive football eleven can try. When they backfire, the victory hopes can go up in thin air. Then, that LU. Junior fullback, John Barth iewicz and the Soph half sensation, Milt Campbell, are two of the finer runners in Big Ten football, and folks should be hearing a lot from them next season. This Campbell, less the fumbling act, could develop into one of Big outstanding got everything it takes.

Miami had a fine tailback, too, iii Senior 165 lb. Dick Hunter, a real deceptive lad on pitchouts rid faking plays. The lone score, the 24-yard down pass that Hunter wheeled to halfback Bob Wallace was a beauty, and a bullseye. The Miami ball club looked good to me, full of fire, and clicking on both offense and defense. Indiana journeys to Northwestern on Saturday and if the fumbles are out of the system, the Hoosiers could return to winning ways.

Purdue at Lafayette, is the last opponent on Nov. 20. A team representing the local bowling alleys, still looking for a sponsor, took two sets (6 games) from a Robinson, Illinois five, on the Linton alleys Sunday afternoon. The club Is lining up a big bowling schedule for this season and will tangle with clubs from all over the state, as well as Illinois. Johnny Powell led the way In the first three 0n Sunday afternoon, getting a grand single game of 269 and a high series of 025.

Ray York of Robinson had a 245 game, and Ott Earnest picked up a 225. The Linton club took the first set getting 2675 pins, to 2,620. All the local keglers got warm in that second sot, winning to 2,567. The two teams will meet in a return engagement on the Robinson on Nov. 20.

Here are the local keglers, along with Ralph Folk and Jim Maners of Worthington, who turned In some topnotch bowling in the Robinson encounter. Listing both, the lads high series and high single games for the afternoon. Hubert Trinkle 536 197 Johnny Powell 625 269 Ralph Fulk 351 210 Jim Maners 555 244 Jake Fritz 563 222 Taylor 562 204 The Pleasantville Blue Streaks, with Ross Miller, the ex-Switz City high star, and now a Lin- tbHfim, Bolson as head coach down that way, will open the 55 hardwood campaign tonight, with a journey to Freelandville and an engagement with the Dutch. Miller has seven letter-men returning to this Pleasantville club, but the lack of height is going to be the big problem. In Freelandville, the Streaks face a club tonight that lost only one lad from last most successful aggregation, and the are figured to be one of the better teams competing in Knox county this coming season.

get acquainted with the Pleasantville Blue Streaks who begin firing at the hoop this evening. Here they are. While on the basketball subject, the head Linton high coach, Wayne Wakefield is planning a basketball clinic for the fellows who are slated to coach the various grade school teams, in a grade school clty-township league this season.
