Turf Stars
May Meet
Wo-Year-0Id Title May Be
Settled by Top Flight,
Burning Blaze.
By Times Special


LAUREL, Md, Oct. 14.-Juvenile
turf supremacy of 1881 may be
settled in a special match race be-
tween Top Flight, G. V. Whitney's
sensational unbeaten FLY, and
Burning Blaze, Nash brothers
speedy chestnut colt.
An effort is being made TO bring
this pair together at the Bowie
meeting over a mile and one-six-
! teenth distance, at scale weights,
with $4,000 added. The date OF
the running will be announced as
soon as it is agreed by Whitney
and Nash to have the stars meet.
If Burning Blaze were eligible for
the Pimlico Futurity, the moot
question of 2-year-old champion
ship honors would be settled def
nitely. Unfortunately, he is not.
Top Flight will make her final
appearance of the year in this rich
special at Pinlico next month. The
two stars have not met previously
this season.
Burning Blaze strengthened his
claim to the crown when he packed
1870 pounds and triumphed in the
Richard Johnson Stakes here last
Saturday. 1t was his third straight
triumph over leading juveniles in
training. In winning the Post and
Paddock, Eastern Shore and john
son Stakes, the son Of Big Blaze and
Mexican Tea has beaten the best in
the east and west, with the excep-
ton of Top Flight, winner of six
straight important events.

Kizer Prepares Purdue for
Surprise Attack by Badgers

and a number of observers are of
the opinion that the Badgers have
been playing 'posSum."
Elward's report of the Badger
strength has led Coach Noble Kizer
to place unusual emphasis on the
improvement of the BoiIermaker Of
Tense, particularly the blocking.
Although Purdue's forward wall
turned in a brilliant defensive per-
Torrance against Illinois, with Cap
tain Miller knitting through repeat
edly to catch Berry and Cook from
behind, its work on the offensive
was decidedly Spotty.
While Purdue's running game did
not appear to be up to par against
the Illini, its aerial attack, with
Paul Moss making sensational
catches, gained ground by leaps and
bounds, and Kizer expects to re-
sort to the air in attempting to
down the Badgers, as Edward re-
ported the Madison crew rather
weak on pass defense.

Ii. S. Insurance Plan Offers
Chance to Utilize Rich Fund

ment issued April II, 1881, amount
ed to $141, 565.84, and it has been
this growing sum that in recent
years has caused turbulent upris-
ings among the membership of the
organization. 1t was agreed finally
that there would be an annual re-
distribution of the financial profits,
earned at various tournaments and
games, particularly the final basket
ball tournament.
Because the I. H. s. A. A. is an
organization that has grown in
membership along with it's treasury,
there has been much discussion
concerning whether the member
who joined the past few years while
the organization was reaping heavy
profits after years of an uphill fight
should share equally with the old
time member.
1t is felt the insurance scheme
with its premiums will utilize some
of the profits of the organization in
a fair manner.

Since 1892, when Stage. became

26 ties. His lean years started in

Many of the players on this years

United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Amos Alonzo
Stage, dean of all living football
coaches and inventor of the shift
play, has devised new offensive
play in his fortieth year as Univer-
sity of Chicago mentor and plans to
introduce it against Yale this week.
Stage has cherished his new play
since last spring, and had hoped
to employ it against Michigan last
week, but a last-minute disruption
of the Chicago back field caused
him to abandon the innovation.
The Maroon backs have had
plenty of time this week to develop
the new offensive, and it will be
used against Stages alma mater
in Yale's first invasion of the
middle-West.
In his forty-year stretch at Chi
cago, Coach Stage, now in his 69th
year, has won international fame as
a sportsman and even losing teams

High School Athletic Association is
interested in arriving at a basis
whereby football injuries received

juries were received by school

SOUTH BEND, Ind, oct. l4.-Al-
though Northwestern broke Notre
Danes string Of twenty straight
victories by last weeks scoreless tie,
the Irish found a new record today
to spur them on against Drake.
Back in 1911, 1912 and 1913, when
the late Knute Rockne played left
end, the Irish won 20 out Of %
games, tying the other two. The
present team has twenty victories
and one tie to it's credit and can
set new mark by defeating Drake
here Saturday.
Saturdays battle will be the sixth
between Drake and Notre Dame,
with the Irish winner in the five
previous battles and favored in this
one because of superior reserve
strength.
1t will be a unique battle, with
Drake this year using the Notre
Dame system with slight modif1ca-
tons. 1t is the first time in history
that Notre Dame has met its own
style of play and Coach Hunk An
derson- is perfecting a new defense
to meet his own stuff. Anderson
will meet the N. D. system again
at Baltimore on Nov IA, when
Navy, coached by Rip Miller, for
mer Irish tackle, tackles the Hoo
siers.
No serious injuries were reported
after Saturdays game with North
western. Coach Anderson is ex-
pecting a real battle Saturday, with
Drake producing its annual sur
prise. Last year, Ossie Solem's
eleven was one of the four teams
to score on Notre Dame.
Saturdays game will start at
p. m. Central standard time, and
will be broadcast by WKBF, Indian
apolis, and VISIT, South Bend.

of the season, Chicago'S hopes for
winning team this season were dis
NAL until last weeks game against
Michigan.
Il can promise that you will be
proud of the team when the game
is over" Stagg told Chicago students
before leaving for Ann Arbor, but l
am even more hopeful for the Yale
game"
Chicago, even crippled by the
unexpected loss of several outstand-
ing players, extended Michigan to
the utmost to win, 1877. The Maroon
line which played through the en-
tire game without a substitution
held off Michigan's powerful attack
throughout the game.
With Paul Stagg back at quarter
back, and Vinson Sahlin, a midget
back who is expected to rival Able
Booths play, recovered from a back
injury, the MaroonS will place their
most formidable offense of the sea-
son in the field. Pete thinner and
Bob Wallace, another fleet runner,
will complete the backf1eld. These
players have been thoroughly
schooled in Stages new offensive
weapon.
