NEXT WEEK is
GALAOCCASION
FOR GRID FANS
Best College Teams of State
Gather Here Oct. 1929 for
Feature Scraps.
TWO DAYS OF SPORT

Four of the best football teams in the
State will be gathered together all in
one big bunch in this city next week
when Butler plays Wabash at Irwin
Field on Friday and Indiana clashes with
Notre Dame at Washington Park on
Saturday. 1t is the hugest weekend ever
fixed up for the delight of local grid
fans. 1t seems a shame to crowd SO
much good sport into the small COM
pass of two days. The Irwin field scrap
hardly will be over before Washington
Park will be the scene of the annual
historic battle between the Irish and the
Crimson.
The fact of the matter is that the two
football teams of the State that have
shown the best form to date are Butler
and Wabash. After defeating Purdue in
the opening game Of the season at La
fayette and running up a big score on
Georgetown the Scarlet eleven went East
and played the Army on even terms ex-
cept in the third quarter IN which the
Cadets rolled up 81 points. Coach
Vaughan appears to have a battling
squad that is especially good on the de-
fensive. 1t will meet in Butler an eleven
Of opposite type. Pat Pages team Is
one of the strongest offensive teams that
Butler ever has had. Although light, the
back field is lightning fast and so far has
opened up such a dazzling burst Of speed
that opponents have been helpless before
BUTLER AROUSES
FANS CONFIDENCE.
its varied attack.
The Scarlet-Blue and White affair prom
Uses to be a great fight and there is not
much doubt, but that Irwin Field will
be filed with the greatest crowd that
ever attended an athletic contest at the
Irvington school. Local followers Of
football have awakened to the fact that
Coach Page has developed a real team at
Butler and are taking more interest in
the squad than ever before in the his
tory Of the institution. 1t is needless to
say that the students are more than en-
thusiastic about the. grid team. Out at
where Wabash alumni are assembled the
Charlottesville outfit has already van
quished the proteges of Page:
Butler points TO its one sided victories
until Butler hits the cave men of
Vaughan. 1t won't be like going up
against some of the weak teams of the
and White line and Singleton boots
few. 1t will be a different story than
running up 122 points against a team
that showed no opposition"
Well, everybody that is disinterested Is
waiting to see and Friday, Oct. %, viii
tell the story while all followers Of sport
that can possibly find an excuse Will be
on hand to see the battle fought.
THEN COMES THE
BIG ENCOUNTER.
Then before voices have had time to
recover their normal pitch the Irish and
Crimson will hook up out at Washing
ton Park. No one will ever forget the
terrific combat waged between the two
State schools last year wnen NOtre Dame
came from behind in the closing period
and defeated Stiehm's huskies by 10
to 10 score. Neither team seems as
strong this season with stars of last
years elevens missing from their familiar
place Neither team has found its stride
as yet though each may develop later.
Now. Rockne's men although defeated by
Iowa and playing ragged ball at Purdue,
still seem to have the strong punch that
always is a feature of the Irish play. In
diana sorely misses Mathys at quarter
and seems to be bit weak in the back
field with the exception of Captain Kyle
Indiana plays Minnesota on Saturday
while Notre Dame tackles Nebraska. Both
of these contests are hard games and the
way the teams come out of these scraps
may have an important bearing on the
big State game here the following Satur-
day. 1t is thought that Hanny, the |. u.
star will not attempt to play in the Min
nesota fraeas in order that his torn
shoulder will have a chance to heal for
the Irish scrap.
Two games in two days for the Hoosier
capital next week. The fans can't take
their choice. There is no choice. They
have to see them both or miss some
thing.
