FINLEY TO MEET BIG TEN ELEVENS WALKER IN ARENA START HARD WEEK

CHICAGO. Oct. 29.--Big Ten foot ball leaders went into hard practice sessions this week for crucial games of the 1928 season next Saturday.
 Chicago and Illinois, leading the title race with two victories each, meet this weekend at Urbana. The game. traditionally one of the hard est fought contests of the midwest, will put one of the teams out of the running. \ Illinois by virtue of its 29 to defeat of Northwestern, was a slight favorite to win. Chicago found difficulty one week earlier in nosing out 13 to victory over North western.
 Michigan, with one win and no de- feats, faces a hard fight at Iowa. The Hawkeye, after dropping an earlier game to Illinois. was a re- juvenated team when they sent Ohio down to a 20 to 0 defeat Saturday. Michigan, although picked by many for conference honors this year, may find trouble in stopping the Hawk eyes multiple attack.
 Wisconsin has an open date. Min nesota takes on the lowly Purple of northwestern. and the other mem- bers of the Big Ten will be engaged contests with non conference eleyens.

Thief Steals Pete
 Herman's Car And Fight Fans Are Sore

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2s.-some- body stole Pete Herman's S5,0O0 touring car last night, and every pugilist, fight promoter, ring hanger on and fight fan in New Orleans is indignant. Above Canal street the air is blue with expressions of rage and unanimously they say the theft must have been mistake for 1t cer- tainly would not have been perpe- trated had the thief known to whom the car belonged.
 The New Orleans boy, who twice held the worlds bantamweight cham pionship, is totally blind now, but he still Is dead game. In an dbition bout in Philadelphia during the height of his career Herman was struck in one eye and a vital nerve was killed. He continued his ring battles, however. lost the champion ship. regained it. then lost it again It was only after he became blind that persons other than his physician and himself knew he went through the latter part of his ring campaign with only one eye, and that not what 1t should have been.
 When the good eye became affected and It's sight was lost Pete was put to bed by q specialist. For months he lay on his back with his eyes bandaged. The wrappings were re- moved several months ago and Pete discovered he could distinguish light. It was believed for a time he might regain the sight of one eye but this hope has almost been dissipated and now he realizes the remainder of his life probably must be spent in dark ness.
 Blindness has not broken the spirit of the little Italo- American. Pete had saved large part of his pugilis- tic earnings and within the last few months he has gone into business. He Is conducting job printing shop, has become a real estate operator his real estate holdings are said to be worth around $100. .0O0-and is blos- soming out as manager of pugilists He increased his business ventures Saturday night when he and Charlie Graffagnini, former wrestler and now 8 fight referee, opened 8 big cabaret

SIMPSON TO PLAY BESSEMER TEAM
Tornado Starts Week Of Hard Practice For
 Game

The Simpson Purple Tornado start ed week of hard work Monday in preparation for the game against Bessemer next Friday.
 Several hard scrimmages will be in order before the Tornado will be ready to enter the game against the Tiger. as number of changes have been recently made in the Techstehs' lineup, which will call for some hard rehearsals before the team takes the field again. A number of varsity men have ssbeen out of the game on account of injuries while their places are being filled by sev eral others who are returning after week of absence. This will cause at least one new change in the start ing eleven and, in addition will prob ably shift one new man into line for the game at the close of the week
 Johnson Ellis and Slick" Vincent are in their regular backfield berths, while Captain Red" Hickman has re- turned to the team, playing in last Fridays game against Sades-Ca- haba, Ed Smith and Bob Sudderth have both been used In the back field and Malloy was shifted to the halfback position last week. where he was used in the game against the Mountaineers.
 The Tornado line is practically in- tact with few changes to be made with the exception of the return of McGinty, who will take his regular place at tackle in case Malloy Is shifted permanently to the position behind the forward seven. Another development. of promise Is the prob anls return of Harold Stearnes, crack center of the Techsters' line. who has ben out all of the season on account of broken arm. Although 1t Is probable that Stearnes will not start in the Bessemer game his return will greatly strengthen the line as up to the present time there has ben only man availabl for the pivot position wo could occupy that berth to an advantage.
 The Tornado is expecting a hard game with Bessemer and are spend- ing the week in thorough preparation for the encounter, which will be held on the Bessemer gridiron.
