CHICAGO, Nov. This is the
football season during which the
critics said Iowa'S Eddie Anderson
would have to pay and pay and
pay. For once they were right.
The Hawks began as if they in
tended to pick up where they left
off in 1899 when they were the
most surprisingly "hot" aggrega-
ton in the land. They coasted
through South Dakota and then
whipped Wisconsin, 80 to II.
But since then they have paid
through the nose for their thrill
ing victories of the 1889 campaign,
Anderson's first in the Western Con-
ference. Indiana, Minnesota and
Purdue dumped them in a row, and
the prospects are none too good
from here on out.
Anderson takes his charges, still
without a versatile and competent
successor to All-America Nile Kin
nick, to Lincoln Saturday for tus-
sic with tough Nebraska. Iowa will
be the underdog, just as it will be
a week hence when the Hawks en-
gage Notre Dame at South Bend.
1t is entirely possible, if not prob
able. that Iowa will come up to its
final game with Illinois with the
Western Conference cellar spot at
stake.

Pannell zoomed his average to
127-18 with a set of AIT as Clarendon
took the lead in the city's fastest
duckpin circuit with a sweep last
night at Clarendon over the strong
Chevy Chase Ice Palace team. The
invaders put up stiff battle with
COS, 613 and 500, but fell before
scores of 631, $50 and GIT.

the evening. Eddie Espey was the
Penn star with 138-400.
Members Of Clarendon's girl team

2. Preston Johnston, S. M. U. full

in the Nation. AS a ball carrier has
averaged 429 yards on 62 carries. A
fine blocker, deadly defensive player
3. Jim ThomaSon, Aggie blocking
back: Acknowledged to be one of
the best blockerS and line hackers Of
all Southwest history. Now bobs up
as runner who has averaged close
to yards on some 20 runs. Balance

SeweII Undetered by Pain
Heoped on Oscar Witt

When Harris was pardoned James
Luther Sewell, known to the trade
as Luke, moved up to the head of
the line. Sewell's is strange case.
He actually wants the job.
No man knows more about the
conditions of a Cleveland managers
life than Mr.. Sewel, for he has
studied this sordid spectacle at first
hand, from closeup, in the role
of coach. The sufferings of Oscar
Witt, the recent incumbent, were
perfectly familiar to Mr.. Sewell, but
instead of escaping over the wall
with Witt last month, when he knew
the finger might be on him, Sewell
chose to remain behind.
The boys are beginning to suspect
that Luke has gone stir-crazy. OF
course, Mr.. Sewell may know what
he is doing. Acquainted with the
somewhat unusual dispositions, to
put it mildly, of the men he would
have to manage. and with the old
Cleveland tradition which makes
every citizen a manager without
portfolio, Luther may have the
stuff to cope with it all.

Stroteeists Are Reluctont
To Toke Job Officially

Having no way of estimating the
number Of unborn managers who
will be handling the Indians by next
May, we will use last years total as
a working figure.
There is a certain reluctance on
the part of all this vast array of tac-
ticians and strategists to become the
oficial manager of the club, though
he is the only one who draws pay
for his work. Drawing pay is all
right, if you care for that sort of
thing, but the official manager in
evitably is thrown out of Cleveland
on his ear sooner or later-moStly
sooner-and cannot manage the In
dams any more except at a distance.
Nobody in Cleveland wants to
spend his old age like that, with
no Indians to manage.
Sentence usually is passed on
some innocent .bystander from out
of town, like Bucky Harris of Wash
ington. They almost had Bucky
nailed, but a reprieve arrived this
week and he will not serve his
term as expected. Good behavior
and the prayers of his relatives
persuaded the Governor to COM
mute Mr.. Harris sentence to another
year in Washington, where the job
practically amounts to a game of
solitaire, with only a few hundred
assistant managers.
