made at Illinois. The Bull
dogs were a constant threat with
the best passing attack ever shown
by the local collegians. Their main
trouble was in the line. There is
a young fellow playing in there
by the name Of Green. And that
just about describes the situa-
ton
The Bulldogs learned lot at
Illinois from that veteran for
ward walI-a wall that is wall.
The Butler inemen really never
had a hard defensive workout
this year until they hit the Illini.
Earlham and Hanover did not
furnish enough opposition.
Don't underrate Butler because
of the heavy score piled up by
Illinois. Coach Zuppke has an
outfit Of the highest class at Ur-
bana- 1t was working to perfec-
ton against Butler Saturday on
the offense and the little Him
coach was all smiles.
There is one thing that Zupp
win have to do before meet
ing Michigan, and that Is drill
some of his sweet running backs
on defense against the forward
pass. If he doesn't, Benny Fried
man will rain passes all over
!. that Memorial stadium field.
y Some Of those Butler linemen
y are going to get going before the
season IS over. Bugg and Green
and Fletcher never played any
high school football, so one must
not expect too much of them
right off the bat. Give 'em a
chance.
Coach HinIlle has a fine array
of back field men. And isn't, it
nice that most of them will be
back next year, while the fresh
men squad has quite a few prom
ising linemen. Wait until they
put two and two together out
there in IrvingtOn. The future
appears of rOseate hue.
But don't get it into your noodle
that they are giving up this year.
There will be plenty of fireworks,
and don't forget that. The Wa
bash game should be a WOW and
De PAW should be a wham. The
stuff is there-some Of it undoubt-
eddy a bit crude. That Illinois
contest didn't discourage the boys
at all.
You know, when one sees all
those buildings and athletic ia
cilities and thousands of students
over at Illinois, SO to Z doesn't
lOJk so bad after all.
WV ELL, its all over and Gro
lWi yer Cleveland Alexander is
D the new worlds champion
In baseball. Alex showed the doubt
ing ones that a 39-year-old veteran
fired with various emotions, in
Guiding the inspiration Of some
$4,000 the difference between win
ming and losing can turn back
the years and become young again
while still retaining the shrewd-
mess and cunning gained in years
3of experience. 1t proves an I'M
beatable combination.
The next automobile to be given
away by admiring fans should un-
doubtedly go to a certain freckled
pitcher who joined st. Louis this
season in time to win them the
pennant and the world series. But,
then come to thing about it, Alex
already has a car given to him by
CHICAGO fans.
Maybe Alex was looking for
of those excursions of his which
Manager Mccarthy of Chicago
objected to. And what's more,
he must have found it.
C~7OACH ZUPPKE Of Illinois
paid a compliment to But
- Ter when he said after the
game that he was afraid to take
out his regulars until well into
the second half because he didn't
know when Butler might break
loose. The Bulldogs were a con-
slant menace with their passing
game. AS the game ended Red
Fromuth had just caught a toss
from Collier on the Illinois five
yard line.
Notre Dame has been tried
against good club and has de-
livered. 1t may be another big
year for the South Bend outfit.
But remember this before get
ting too enthusiastic. Minnesota
does not seem to be a good de-
fensive eleven. Coach Spears
team has a great drive, but last
M. year many of these same play
Xers were utterly routed by the
" great University of Michigan
team, 80 to 0.
r-1HERE's one National
League manager who has
~ been writing a baseball
story each day on the world series
whom we admire for his ability to
say, That's my story and I'm 60
ing to stick to It," While others
were fluttering back and forth as
the fortunes Of the game shifted
Jack Hendricks kept on saying,
THE Cards will win"
He said it every day from start
to finish. 1t took seven days, but
Jack had the last word, and it was
right. If the two teams played to-
morrow the Cincy manager would
say, 1.-THE Cards will win"
Most of the experts" picked
the Cards-and they won in
spite of the handicap.
