Purdue Holds
Big Ten Lead
With Gophers
Undefeated Record Seen for
Both; PheIan'S Backs
Like Four HorSemen.
BY BERT DEMBY
nited Press STAFF Correspondent

lHktSC russ CAah Correspondent
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Those Boiler
makers of Purdue and the Gophers
of Minnesota continue to stand out
as favorites to win the 1929 title
in the Big Ten.
There are four teams in the con-
ference-MinneSota Purdue, Illinois
and Ohio Stat5-which have not
tasted defeat, but Illinois and Ohio
have been held to ties.
Purdue has the actual leadership
with two games on the won side of
the column. Minnesota has en-
gagged in only one contest, its defeat
of Northwestern.
The Big Ten is hard spot for
any predicting, but judging from
the schedules Of both Purdue and
Minnesota, it seems quite possible
that either one or both teams will
go through the season indicated.
Three More Games
Purdue yet must play Iowa, Wis
cOnSin and Indiana. Wisconsin has
not shown anything SO far which
would put fear into as good team
as the BoilermakerS, and Indiana, al
though it usually plays its best game
against Purdue, lost to Chicago,
team which Purdue defeated 800.
Iowa has been beaten by Ohio State
and Indiana was good enough to tie
the Buckeyes, 90.
Minnesota yet must meet Indiana,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan and
like Purdue it stands to win from
the former three if past perform
ances are to be taken as criterion.
Michigan, too, has shown little.
First, the Wolverines lost to Purdue
and Ohio and then Illinois piled up
40 count over it last Satur-
day.
In the other conference game,
Iowa defeated Wisconsin 14-0. Min
nesota went out of the conference
to steam roller Ripon and North
western overran Wabash.
Illinois and Ohio, the two unde-
feated teams which have been tied,
would seem to have tougher sled
OA4lE OA4clll CAOA4NA 40AAIAlCOOOcL Va / VI
due. Illinois yet must play North
western, Chicago and Ohio State
and Ohio meets Northwestern and
Illinois.
GOphers Among Best
The opinion seems to exist that
Minnesota has one of the best teams
in America. Coach Spears has
nodded together a powerful outfit
with wonderful reserve strength.
Purdue, with light but fast line,
seems to be working on the theory
that a good offense is the best de-
tense and it certainly has the Of
felsive material. When Harmeson,
WEIGH, Yunevich and White start
down the field it takes a real team
to halt them. 1t begins to appear
the Boilermakers have the best
back field the middle-west has seen
since the -Four Horsemen" achieved
national acclaim for Notre Dame.

HICKEY DENIES HUGE A. A. LOSSES

1.-THE past year was by no means
disastrous to the Indians, although
the figures show it was a poor sea-
son throughout the league. This
was true. however, in the major
leagues also and will be the case
whenever there are runaway races
as was the case this year in both
major leagues and the Association.

the same period for 1928 and had
our team been in the running, I
have no doubt but cur attendance
would have exceeded that of 1928"

association. Perry is opposed to any
drastic salary cut, he asserted today.
Our plan in Ind annapolis is to
keep up the satisfied, fighting spirit
developed on our team and this can
not be done by going out and slash
ing salaries right and left" Perry
said.
However, there Is no doubt but
that some teams in the league are
paying salaries out of proportion to
the revenue received. My idea to
Offset this condition is to bring up
youngsters who can not at this time
demand major league salaries.

L ALKING
IT OVER

New York, Oct. %.
AVER IL New Haven today they
~ are calling him Payof Booth
and on Saturday ne certainly was
the payof. I am referring. of
course, to young Able Booth. Yale's
sophomore quarter back whose
three touchdowns routed Army in
what the technicians of the game
are pleased to record as an upset.
AS footballers go, young Booth ISN'T
any bigger than the head Of a tack

In baseball they used TO say Walter
Johnson was so fast YOU couldn't what
he threw and naturally no batsman was
expected T. hit what he couldn't see. The
Cadets oouidnt stop Booth because they
couldn't &c. their hands on him. In throw

II is of the utmost imDOT lance that you

In the army, but unfortunate for
the earnest coach, Biff Jones, and
his squad, the manual of arms does
not include a technical chapter de-
voted to the capturing of eelS with

THERE is no great mystery at
l. tached to the Booth technique.
He just gets up and goes places and
does things. He's as fast as a track
man, has loads of instructive ability
and is harder to knock off his feet
than Joe Grim ever was. On top
of that he has that extra dab Of
arrogance and daring that you
usually find in these Smallish fell
lows who are forced to battle it
out on an equal physical basis with
the six-footers. This is one of
those psychological twists that your
neighborhood Freud will have to

Trains at Ranch

Walker, bronzed by six weeks Of
rough work at Soper's ranch on the
desert near Ojai, and the. pink
skinned Hudkins will present a con-
trast when they step into the
glazing lights on the fight night.
The Nebraska fighter said he con-
sidered himself in the best shape
Of his career and that he would
have no alibis if he failed to win
the championship.
Walker and his manager, Jack
Kearns, regard the Nebraskan as a
tough fighter, but not a threat to
Mickeys title. Mickey, himself,
confessed to such a dislike for Ace
that he wants to knock him feet
first into the arms of his brothers."
The brothers referred to are
Clyde and Art, who manage the
youngest member of the family and
incidentally help Ace think up wise
cracks to hurl at Mickey.
At Better Weight
That bird is no angel" Walker
declared. Hes lucky. I go on
party and get pinched and he runs
all over Hollywood and nothing
happens to him. Hudkins is in for
a worse beating then I gave him a
year ago last August in Chicago"
The Wildcat, however, claims the
Chicago decision went to the wrong
corner and adds that he is at bet
ter weight this time.
HudkinS expects to fight at 1853
pounds and Walker will come in a
trife under the 160-pound limit.
Jack Doyle, the promoter, antici-
pates a gate of approximately S240,-
000 of which Walker will collect 471a
per cent and Hudkins 1919.
