BRAVES IN FOR
OVERLAPPING
Management Seeking Players - A
Thorough ReorganizatOnis
Planned.
By JOHN B. FOSTER,

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, Oct. 24.-The
Boston National league club is in
for a pretty thorough reorganiza-
ton if the management can secure
the players. The operation of the
draft brought forth a little ma
terial OF some promise but not
much experience The release of
Nicholson, hard hitting but slow
motioned outfielder, can only mean
that speed is to be injected into
the team. The Braves were motor
iously slow last year. 0
The Boston iniield can stand
tightening up as we'll as the out
field, and SO can the pitching staff
The present occupants Of the first
base, third base and shortstop po-
sitions are hardly up to champion
ship class. Holke has been 4 men,
Der of championship team but
has not gone forward any since.
kopf, too. has played on pennant
team, but, like Holke, he has fail
ed to retain his speed Boeckel has
experience. but he won't win pen
nants unless there is an infield
which will keep him keyed up to
top pitch.
Ford is fast as a streak at times
He is a great ground coverer and
might go along with a first division
team and keep the pace if he were
surrounded by players who were
peppery. The Boston outfield has
been long on the diamond and is
dropping back.
Folks down in Florida say the
team trained too hard, in the St
Petersburg climate. Training toe
hard in the spring is scarcely a
| common fault among the old tim
ers. If anything of the kind did
happen, Mitchell should profit by
the experience and either go lit
tie slower with his tribe in 1928
or find training camp with a eli.
! mate not so conducive to overwork

New York, Oct. 24.-In view of
the coming great intersectional
contests among football teams of
the middle west institutions is OF
particular interest and importance.
In the case of Chicago, Stage has
not shown his strength as yet. He
is saving everything for the return
game on Stage Field with Prince
ton Saturday. Straight football of
the simplest kind was all he need
ed against Purdue but he undoubt-
eddy will spring surprise Satur-
day. He would not be Stage if he
did not.
Changes are still going on down
at Princeton Coach Roper is in
sisting upon development of the
kicking game. With CIeaves and
Van Gerbig he is apparently we'll
taken care of in this respect. He
is making a lot of shifts in the
line and working hard on the quar-
terback proposition. Dinsmore has
done some recent work at that po-
sition which looked very good.
knute Rockne has big job at
Notre Dame this year, probably the
hardest he has had in many sea
sons. If he can get his team up to
anything like the high standing
they reached last year. he will
prove himself wonder.
West Point is laying for him this
year and this is the Army's year
to take revenge for some bad beat
ings at the hands of the westerners
Rockne's line is fair but somewhat
light. He has a hard schedule, but
in Cashier he has one Of the best
running backs in the west. He is
working hard on the overhead
game and will put puzzling aerial
attack up to West Point.
r Both Northwestern and Mime
sofa have been building from the
bottom this year and making about
equal progress as the even terms
ON which they played last week
showed. The Northwestern offense
is varied and likely to surprise her
later opponents. They are throw.
ing plenty of forward passes and
this is combined with vel
schooled fundamental defense.
Minnesota Builds Slowly.
Spaulding, the new Minnesota
coach, is building slowly but stead
lily, and when November comes il
the offense, built largely arount
Martineau, is going to show we'll
The line is good but crude. In it,
making defense has not been los

New York, N. Y, Oct. A.-Pro-
motors are after Tommy Gibbons
again. As soon as affairs in St
Paul, resulting from the death Of
his father, have been settled, Glib
bons will be ready for all corners.
The fact that Gibbons lost to Misks
by a foul after b had completely
outfought his fellow townsman is
not held against the fighter in the
east. No one believes that wallop
was intentional. 1t is not unlikely
that another Gibbons-Greb fight
will mark Tommy's return to the
ring.
Mike Gibbons is having a lot of
trouble with his eye. Probably he
will lose the sight of the damaged
optic. This is the result of an in
jury due to g. glove lacing crossing
the eye. Mikes wife did not want
him to return to the ring two years
ago. He had plenty of money and

mates Sunday.

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct. 24.-Coach Guy
Chamberlin, who brings the Can
ton Bulldogs to the Cub park Sun
day afternoon to meet the Chicago
Bears, has a powerful forward wall,
one which should prove severe
test for the local men. Three for
mer All-American linemen are in
cluded in the number, but the star
of the outfit Is Guard Taylor, ex-
Ohio State, who received no NEIL
ton from Walter Camp.
Both Chamberlin and Taylor
we're with the Staleys last fall and
were favorites here. Taylor, it will
be remembered, is one of the few
players who refuses to wear head
guard when in action, and general
iy is in the midst of every pile.
The Canton Bulldogs, one of the
oldest football teams in the coun-
try, being organized II years ago
have an eleven thoroughly repre-
sentative of the country. Ten col
leges and universities are number
ed on the list, including Texas A.
a. NJ, Washington and Jefferson,
Penn State, Ohio State, Nebraska,
Annapolis. Christian College, Pur-
due, Canton University and Buck
nell. In a recent game the Bull
dogs upset Jim Thorpe's Indians
winning by the decisive score of IA
to 0. They gave the Staleys hard
clash last fall. and are considered
one of the fiercest playing outfits
in the league.
With four straight victories tC
their credit this season, the Chica-
go Bears resume practice this aft
ernoon at the Cub park. Every
man came out of the hard SCRAP
with the Buffalo All-Americans in
fair shape and Dutch Sternaman
who was slightly injured the weel
before. is expected to be ready fol
action when Canton is not here
Sternaman and Halas have a new
package of plays to teach the
Bears this week.

Urbana. ILL.,, Oct. 24-Even ad-
hitting that Iowa was suffering
from not surprising mental slump
after its victory over Yale, the
showing of Illinois against the
Hawkeyes in last Saturdays game
is regarded here today as a happy
augury of the future. The team is
coming, it is felt. Throughout the
western conference it was expected
that Iowa would do a lot of evil
! things to the Illini Hence the
! small margin of Iowa's victory is
regarded in this ebullient univers-
ity community in the light of a
! moral triumph.
Of the men. who pulled the ILL
nois-Ohio State game out of the
fire last season, many a blazing
star is missing. ]. Sternaman. the
brilliant quarter, has departed and
so have Walquist, Crangle, Carney,
Olander, Drayer Gneligible), Sabo
and Vogel.
1t should, as matter of justice
to the football system here, be
made known that the team is young
and green, composed mainly of last
years freshmen. Hope mainly is
directed to next year. What crumbs
| can be gathered this fall will be
gratefully accepted. But next
year" is the watchword.

Bob Zuppke's men recently. Last
year Illini won but one conference
game and the preceding year the
team lost to Ohio and Wisconsin
He is hard taskmaster, is Zuppkc
His methods are for rugged men
alone. He makes them or breaks
them. Beginning last Februay the
Illinois candidates scrimnaged for
two months and the games were sc
interesting as to attract student

The loyal Illinois rooter will de.
clare that what the team is today
is due to this rigorous winter worl:
The weather is mild in this latitude

: me nrst thing that strikes the
visitor to Urbana is the influence
of the pervading personality D
George Huff, the director of ath
letics. For 80 years he has been {
player, a student of sports and ;
coach. He has gathered about hin
perhaps the greatest staff D

ference victories that success il
this sport is no longer of especia

With Alvine probably out ana
most OF the team in poor physical
condition, Rock Islands chances
against Moline in next Saturdays
game are lower than ever today.
| The squad came out Of the Clinton
affair in a battered and bruised
shape and with the Swede menace
only FIVE days OF, things are not
very bright around the local
school.
Alvine Is the most seriously in
jured Of the bunch and there is
only a small chance of the sterling
lineman being in the coming bat
tie. A bad charley horse in his
lower right limb and bruised
lung are the injuries that Hugo
suffered. The lung injury, unless
complications set in, is not likely
! to be serious. The charley horse
will ease up slowly and if the field
is slippery next Saturday, the in
jured limb may alone keep Alvine
out.
A sore foot is responsible for the
limp that charaSerizes the walk OF
Clark. and Reid is stiff and sore
from the battering he received
Mayer has a bad limb, too, and this
makes him feel uncomfortable. He
will be in good shape for the Mo-
line tussle, however Haddick is
battered from the Clinton attack
and other men are suffering from
, bruises of some sort or other.
, The week at the local institution
, will be spent in getting the Grip
plies back in playing condition
while at Moline the men are going
through the regular pre-champion
ship stunts. Moline has been a:

INDIANS PLAY
WATERLOO A C.
MolineFs to Make Initial Bow to
Home Folks Against Stif
Opposition.

Next Sunday the Moline Indians
are making their seasons debut to
their friends and admirers at
Browning field. They have chosen
the stiffest opposition possible-the
Waterloo Athletic clubs eleven, for
three seasons professional cham
pions of the Hawkeye state.
This is a bit of news that should
cause the football fan to smack his
lips in gleeful anticipation. Sun
days contest will be between two
evenly balanced elevens who will
fight with a capital IF" from
whistle to whistle.
Waterloo has not tasted defeat IN
three seasons. Its record for the
fourth, thus far, is clean. Water
loo has numbered among its victims
the best professional teams that the
Hawkeye state has produced. In
the pro circles of Iowa Waterloo
compares to Jack Dempsey in the
heavyweight fistic realm. Other
contenders for the Iowa title care
for none of Waterloo's stuff. That
is exactly the reason that the In
| dians were able to book the Hawk
eye prides for next Sunday-lack
Of logical opponents within the
boundaries of their own state.
Waterloo has not played game
away from the home lot since its
organization three years ago. The
team has performed before throngS
of fans for miles around its own
bailiwick. There were diamonds OF
acres right at home and that is
where the team reaped its harvest.
| Despite the fact that suitable
opponent for home game could moi
be secured, Waterloo demanded &
small fortune to embark on for
eign soil. 1t is huge chunk fol
the Indians to bite off but they wan
to give the fans a real game, re
CARELESS of expense and result.
! The Freeborg clan was numbered
among Waterloo's victims in post
season game last year by 10 to
score. 1t was the stiffest opposition
of the season and. according tt
Coach Freeborg. Waterloo had {
better team at that time than TIT
Gary Elks, the outfit that Cowne;
the Indians last Sunday. New me1
have been added this year and Wa
terloo has moved down its oppo
nents most numerically thus far.
The Indians may lose. Dope ia
vors Waterloo. That is only sid
issue The Indians will fight to re
gain the prestige among the HON,
fans that the Illini. West Ends anc
Moline club had years ago. Water
loo will struggle to the last breatl
to keep it's slate clean.
