" AIDE, NEYLAND RIVAL COACHES,
 TO RENEW 'FEUD'
Vols 33,OOO Seats Only l-3 Enough; Colgate Ont
 to Surprise COrnel
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Oct. {. (UP)-TheyT be cornin' round the mountain by the thousands tomorrow to see the top game on the nations football card-D Duke vs Tennessee at Knox vile.
 This is the "big one"-the game that has captured the fancy of fans from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, because it not only sends two grid giants into battle, but 1t marks the renewal of coaching feud between two of the most successful mentors in the game-Wallace Wade and Maj. Bob Neyland.
 Since they all cannot see this one, there will be plenty of eyes for such topnotch attractions as Minnesota Nebraska, Southern California Ore gon State, Prince eton- Wand derbilt, In- diana Texas, TCU-ArkanSaS, Pitt Missouri and California St. Mary,s. And, some of the experts profess to see trouble ahead for Cornell, which will, send practically the same eleven that went through 1889 undefeated and united, against a darkhorse Colgate team.
 University of Tennessee,s Shields Watkins Field isn't the biggest in the country; it seats only 33,OOO, but it could have been sold out three times over.
 Gophers Up
 MinneSota,S surprise win over Washington last week makes Bernie Bierman's boys favorites over Ne, braska, 8 power club with little passing and less defense for the aerial game. Oregon State, whose only loss last year was to Southern California, has virtually the same lineup back and promises to give the, Trojans an even tougher battle than last week-wfen they were held to a tie by underrated Washington State.
 In the three big intersectionals Indiana, Princeton and Missouri seem the logical favorites over Texas, Vanderbilt and Pitt respec- lively. Most of the coast pickers like California over St. Mary,s in this traditional encounter, but Red Strader's Moraga men are an un- known quantity and an upset is not unlikely.
 Cornell seems to have everything that carried the Big Red to per- feet record last year and Carl Snavely has done his best to keep his club from becoming over-con- fident, because Andy Kerr has promised a surprise when he un- veils his 1940 Colgate eleven.

Ripple Of Reds Was Tidal Wave Of Second Game
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

kUMHtCQ KTCSS 6tSW OOkEGSpOUUCUbD Detroit, Oct. 4-(UP)-The ripple turned out to be tidal wave.
 Only five weeks ago. Jimmy Ripple of the Reds was playing the outfield for the Montreal International league club, little dreaming he'd be one of the stellar performers in the world series. In fact, his chief am- bition was to help Montreal get into the International league playoffs. But in one of those rags-to-riches dramas, Ripple was waited from the Montreal club to a regular berth on the pennant-bound Reds during the last days of August.
 Property of the Brooklyn club, the Reds we're able to land Ripple by a quirk of the rule book. The Dodgers sent him to Montreal early in the season with the intention of recalling him later. They changed their minds and asked waivers in August. The Reds claimed him and despite pro- tests from the Montreal club, were upheld by Commissioner Landis. Montreal wished to keep Ripple un- til the end of the season but Landis ordered him to report to the Reds immediately.
 i Benefit to Both
 It was break for Ripple and an even bigger break for the Reds. Be- cause of him, the National league champions are all tied with the Tigers at one game each as they move into the third battle today. With the score tied, 2-2, and Ival Goodman on first, Ripple slashed one of Schoolboy Rowe's Sunday pitches on line into the right field bleach- Fers. some 370 feet away.
 Thus far the Reds have scored seven runs in two games, Ripple has driven in three of them-one in the opener and two yesterday. He's made only two hits but both were in the clutch.
 Ripple has played in 37 games with the Reds, and hit an even 300. Even if he did nothing else, he solved the Reds left field problem. Tn his days at the Polo Grounds, Ripple was a favorite among Giants fans who used to sing a verse in his honor. It went something like this:
 Jimmy Ripple, hero of de people. | he hits de treeple.
 If you can figure a way to rhyme home run with Ripple, you'll have the Reds new war song.

 Boston, oct. 4-(UP)-An untried Holy Cross eleven rolls into Baton Rouge, La, for an intersectional clash with Louisiana and Big Three rivals Harvard and Yale make their 1940 debuts as Nv England's major college football teams swing into high gear this weekend.
 The Crusaders squad of 35 arrived in the southern city today after the longest trip in the history of Holy Cross athletics. Coach Joe Sheeket- ski and his charges seek revenge for the 26-7 upset defeat suffered at Worcester in an early-season game last year.
 With Joe Osmanski, brother of the professional star and former Holy Cross captain, ready for his debut as 8 passing expert, the game may develop into a hurling duel as Louis- jana has concentrated on forwards since its defeat by Mississippi last week.
 Though Holy Cross is not rated as strong as last seasons club which was second only to Boston college in New England, the Crusaders may even the series on the strength of their offensive ability. In addition to Osmanski, Holy Cross has three other above average passers. Scouts report L. s. D. has a strong line but is weak on pass defense.
 Several Crusaders including Full back Bruno Malinowski have minor injuries but all are expected to see action. The Tigers will be at full strength for the game which will be fought under lights Saturday night
 Crimson Strong
 Only three 1889 regulars will be on the first team when Harvard makes it's initial start tomorrow against fair Amherst club. Coach Dick Harlow lost only four men by graduation but has instituted several shakeups to give the Crimson more punch.
 The three holdovers are End Loren Mackinney, Halfback Fran Lee and Captain Joe Gardella at fullback. Only Mackinney will play his same position. Guard. Chub Peabody, aIl- other starter, gained regular rating during the 1889 campaign. Two standouts of last seasons mediocre team may not play. Halfback Charlie Spreyer, triple threat, has been Job- hunting. Center Burgy Ayres is side lined by injuries.
 Harvard should wear down the re- serve-weak Lord Jeffs and win by about four touchdowns.
 Yale may have 8 more difficult task in defeating Virginia at New Haven, Conn. The Ellis have two capable backs in Hovey Seymour and Ray Anderson, 8 slick passer who returns after 8 years ineligibility. Virginia showed plenty of power in trouncing Lehigh, 42-0, last week.
 Dartmouth is favored to win its second straight at the expense of Franklin and Marshall. The Big Green coaches, however, have re- fused to treat the game as warm- up. Sophomore Back Ed Kast and Guard Dan Dacey have been pro- noted to the starting Dartmouth lineup.
 Browns big eleven appears to carr ytoo many guns for Rhode Is- land State. Boston college, upset conqueror of Tulane, remains idle until next weeks game with Temple.

Eagle Gets Bout | With Nathan Mann, Believe It Or Not!
New Haven to Present Fis- tic Prize Package on
 Night of October IA

New Haven, Oct. Five times Nathan Mann has defended his New England heavyweight title and on four out of the five occasions the contenders were blasted out of the picture before the full distance was reached. On Monday night, Oc- tober 14, Mann puts his title on the block against Charlie Eagle, Water bury Polish reavyweight, in 8 12- round bout at the Arena.
 George Fitch was the only one to stay the distance with Matte in a title match, and in that bout Fitch was on the floor four times. Previ- ous to that Mann stopped Fitch in the sveenth round. Larry Lovett was blasted out of the picture twice by Mann in recent months, while last winter the Hamden slugger knocked out Eldridge Eatman in the third round.
 Eagle and Mann have never met, although the Brass City battler has been in quest of a match with Mann since 1886. Despite the fact that Eagle lost a decision to Lovett in listless fight at Waterbury a few weeks ago, the boxing critics point out that Eagle broke training three days before the fight, and was far from being in the best of condi- ton. They also add that Eagle nexer exerts himself too much when in with a boxer, and that it takes heavy puncher to make him work.
 Thus, Eagle will have to fight against Matte. And, when the Brass City battler makes up his mind to work, he can hold his own with the most of them. He fought the highly touted Tommy Tucker a draw at Ma con Square Garden last win ter. Following that match he gave Bob Pastor ten tough rounds in los- ing the decision.

WORLD SERIES SHAPES UP AS
 LONG, TOUCH GO
Turner or Thompson to Oppose Bridges Today;
 Walter, Ripple Heroes
BY HARRY FERGUSON Limited Press Shorts Ed;tor)

Detroit, Oct. 4 = UPo ' Growl- ing because their beloved base hits have been almost eliminated from thedr diet, the Detroit Tigers came back to their lair today, hungry for this afternoons third worlds series game with the Cincinnati Reds.
 Tn Briggs Stadium 54,000 persons will be leaning out of their seats. It looks like long, tough series. They're tied at one game each now and what happens on the new bat tletield will go far in determining the ultimate winner.
 Detroit's hopes ride on little Tom my Bridges, who has more curves than the Lincoln Highway. A vet eran at this business of throwing them down to the hitters when the world series pressure Is on, Bridges knows today's may be teh only ser- les game he will pitch and he is ready to give 1t the gun. He is well rested and if his curve is snapping and snarling in its usual fashion, the Reds are going to have a hard afternoon.
 May Be Turner
 Manager Bill McKechnie of Cin- cinnati rolled into town last night still undecided who would pitch for him. He seemed to be leaning a bit toward Jim Turner, a veteran whom the Reds picked up this year when he apparently was on his way to the boneyard. But in reserve he has a strong youngster with a firecracker fast ball-Junior Thompson who

AUSTRALIA SPURNS
 BIG U. s. TENNIS TOUR

-- Melbourne, Australia, Oct. l. -(UP)-The council of the austral- ian Lawn Tennis Association today rejected the Queensland Associa- tion's request that it invite Bobby Riggs and other leading American players to play matches in Austral- ia to aid the Red Cross.
 The request was turned down on the ground that would be unfair to the United States, which had agreed not to challenge the Davis Cup during the war and that it was inappropriate and inimical to public policy to invite American players to Australia for any other purpose.
