The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-11-24
BY DICK MILLER

Indiana and Purdue engaged IN
their traditional rivalry scrap at
Lafayette today, while Notre Dame
was in New York taking part 4
another of those colorfui scraps
with Army.
The battle between the two
Hoosier representatives in the Big
Ten had no little amount of signifi-
canoe attached to it. Victory for
Purdue meant at least tie for
the conference championship, pro-
viding Minnesota takes Wisconsin
into camp.
Each of the three HooSier repre-
sentativeS in big time football have
played seven games. Purdue and
Indiana wind up their season today.
The Irish will head west in Deem
Der to tackle Southern California
ir their ninth and final game.
Today's battles will afford Duane
Purvis and Jim Carter their last
opportunity to impress critics they
are all-America timber. Without
a doubt they are all-state stars.
The eastern game will give Notre
Dame a chance to show off its stars,
George Melinkovich, Jack Robin
son, Wayne Millner and others to
the boys on the seaboard who pick
all-Americas.
Walker l. us StandOut
After seven games there can e
little doubt about who is who in In
diana as far as the Big Three is
concerned We hardly think there
will be a dissenting vote against
Purvis. Carter and Melinkovoch. VI
diana has made a fine showing in
several games this fall and in each
instance we belle it was largely
because of the individual perform
ance of Wendell Walker that n
diana did so we'll.
Ray Fox and Don Weller flashed
form at times for Indiana, Drake
did some fine full backing for Pur-
due and Don Elser, Mike Layden
and Bill Shakespeare looked good
for Notre Dame. But when in the
game, Walker, Purvis, Melinkovich
and Carter were playing football
that demanded recognition.
Wayne Millner of Notre Dame and
Frank Haas of Purdue we're best in
their roles at ends, each being a inc
pass receiver and strong defensive
man. Because Of their all-around
ability they are given the call over
Domonic Vario of Notre Dame and
Frank Loebs Of Purdue. Ettore An
tonini played little short Of our
expectations, partly due, perhaps, to
to the new system being used by
his team.
The tackles we're not as outStand-
ing as they might have been. Chris
Dalsasso, while only a sophomore
and we usually are not in favor Of
picking sophomores on mythical Sc
lections-has been in there every
game. He has played good ball
from the very first game, in which
he was a star. Tony Heidi has been
fine player and a good leader as
captain OF Purdue, famed this fall
for its remarkable comeback. Close
behind come Joe Sullivan Of Notre
Name and Bruno Vercuski of In
diana. The name John Michuta at
Notre Dame has been mentioned
also Pete Beeson at Indiana nd
Ted Fehring at Purdue, but none
vas consistently in the limelight.
Guards Are Big Problem
The problem comes at guards an
each Of the three teams had great
players at those positions. Reed
Kelso, a great place kicker, will
likely receive some conference selec-
ton honors. He was reliable and
had the asset Of being a good place
kicker. Rocco Schiralli was good
in the Notre Dame system, as vas
Harry Pojman. George Dennis and
Wayne Sandefur were standouts at
Purdue. Sandefur particularly, be-
