NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Penn's
sturdy line against Columbia's high
scoring backs is a grid pairing to
excite the imagination of the East

Notre Dame game in New York
Saturday.

Bob Deuber and Don Schneider are
two fleet runners and Bob Evans
is capable hand at running, pass
ing and punting. The Evans quick
kick might well be the downfall of
the Lions.
However, It's up front that the
battle probably will be decided.

Indiana's S Title Hopes
Menaeed by Gophers,
Seen on Rebound
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Indiana's
Hoosiers, unbeaten in Western Con-
ference football this season, are on
a spot this week end. They meet
twice-beaten Minnesota at Mime
apolis.
On the surface, 1t might look like
another Indiana victory. However,
the Gophers may be on the rebound,
and after losses to Ohio State and
Michigan, ready to rise up and
smack down the Hoosiers.
At any rate, the game will be one
of the most decisive of the Western
Conference season. The Gophers,
listed among the preseason favorites,
reported three casualties today, but
Coach Bernie Bierman hoped all
would be in shape for the Indiana
tussle.
The three included Vic Kulbitski,
injured leg; Guard Dave Day, knee
injury, and Halfback Ken Parent,
leg ailment.
Even with those three missing
from the Gopher lineup there's
doubt Indiana will have breeze.
The Hoosiers had tough time win
ming from Illinois, 60, and the sur
prising Wildcats of Northwestern
held them to a TT tie.
The Indianans, who have been
out Of conference competition the
past two weeks in edging out TO
victory over Tulsa and breezing
over Cornell Qowa) College, ap-
parently were in good physical con-
dition for the game.

Former Chain Leader
Is Given 2-Year Term
Al Red Birds Helm
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press. 4
ST. LOUIS, Nov. THE appoint
ment of Eddie Dyer of Houston, Tex,
as manager of the st. Louis Cardi-
mails to succeed Billy Southworth
was announced today by Sam Brea-
don, president of the Cardinals.
Dyer was given a 2-year contract.
A former top-ranking executive in
the vast Cardinal farm system, Dyer
resigned a year ago to enter the oil
business with his three brothers in
Texas. However, he kept his finger
in baseball by representing the Red
Birds at meetings of the suspended
Texas League.
This will be Dyer's first fling as a
major league manager and he will
be the Cardinals 10th field 1eader
since they started winning pennants
10 years ago.
Has Had Plenty Of Experience.
Commenting on the unexpected
appointment, President Breadon
said: '"The people here may not
know him too well, but Dyer has
been in OUR organization "a years.
I haven't the slightest doubt that
he will succeed. I have all the con-
fldence in the world in him. He
was my first choice to succeed
Southworth.
AS usual, Breadon declined to say
what salary Dyer will receive, but
apparently it is substantial enough
to lure Dyer away from a prosperous
oil business. 1t is said he accepted
the Cardinal offer and came here to
sign the contract last week after
celebrating the proposition for is
days. Breadon made special trip
to Houston to see Dyer and talk
the matter over.
In addition to Houston and Co.
lumbus, Dyer has held managerial
assignments at Topeka, Kans.;
Scottdale, Pa; Springfield, Mo-;
Greensboro, N. c.; Huntington,
w. Va, and Columbus, Ga.
Dyer was once an all-around ath-
lete at Rice Institute, Houston, be-
latedly receiving an A. B. degree in
1896. He knows football. as well as
baseball, formerly being q leading
football official in the Southwest.
Card Pitcher in 1920s.
Dyer, now in his middle 40's, once
performed as pitcher for the Cards
in the early 1920's, but found his
greatest success as minor league
manager.
In 1941 while Houston was coast
ing to the Texas League pennant by
a ridiculously large margin, Dyer
furnished the parent Red Birds with
Howie Pollet, one of the best left
handlers ever to don the Cardinal
uniform. Pollet, now civilian bound
from the Army, was personally dis
covered and developed by Dyer.
When the Texas circuit folded up
for the duration, Dyer moved to
Columbus and guided the Red
Birds to the little world series
championship.
Dyer took over an executive post
early in 1943 as director of the
Cardinals Double A farm clubs.
Job he held until his retirement.

BOSTON, Nov. 7.-William H.
Billy the Kid" Southworth, who
since his departure as team captain
from the Boston Braves more than
two decades ago, led the st. Louis
Cardinals to two world champion
ships, will return today to sign as
new Tribe manager.
The deal bringing the popular
Southworth back to Boston Is the
second big money transaction COM
oleted by the club owners who, when
they took over more than a season
ago, vowed they would spend to
build the Braves into pennant con-
tender.
They first brought big Mort Cooper
here from the Cardinals after the
star hurler went on strike for more
money. -
Terms Not Revealed.
Neither the salary to be paid the
now-graying Southworth nor the
length of his contract have been dis
closed, but John Quinn, youthful
and ambitious general manager of
the Boston Nationals said that Billy
would be offered an agreement "for
more than year."
His st. Louis pay has been re-
ported to be in the vicinity of $20,-
0O0-$25, 900.
Sam Breadon, Cardinal president,
released Billy from his contract
which had another year to run, be-
cause Lou Perini, Braves prexy, pre-
sented Southworth such a great op-
portunity.
AS John Quinn explained 1t, "Mr.
Perini contacted Mr.. Breadon to get
his permission to talk with South
worth. That given, he made Billy
such an attractive offer that Billy
felt he couldn't refuse"
Quinn, bubbling with enthusiasm,
reeled of records that Billy's clubs
have won $40 games and lost 346 for
a .642 average. He pointed out that
under "the kid" the Card swifties
finished in first place three times,
In second twice and third once.
Bissonette to Be Retained.
We've got the topfiight manager
In the National League and we
ought to 60 places" said Quinn, who
added that Southworth's predeces-
sor, Del Bissonette would remain in
the Boston organization.
Billy, ranked by some with Ross
Youngs, Harry Hooper and Mel OFT
as rightfielders, always has been
popular in Boston, even when he
led his opposing Cardinals into
town.
In Cleveland last night where his
Boston bound train stopped for a
few minutes, Billy told the Associ-
ated Press that he was happy to
return to Boston," and said that the
Braves could cause trouble in the
pennant race II I'VE get the pitch

Buqurus Is After Hutson's Role
Of Pass Scratching Champion

Steve Bagarus, who has gone
along as quietly as possible trying
to mind his own business, today
found himself embroiled in dis
pute with Green Bays Don Hutson,
perennial National Football League
pass catching champion, high
scorer, etc.
Steve is No. 2 in the pass-recep-
ton department, and is being touted
as Hutson's probable successor. The
six passes he speared last Sunday
ran his total for the season to 23,
one more than Jim Benton of
Cleveland, and nine behind the
shifty, sure-f1ngered Hutson.
Bargarus Is second, but not
pressing the cagey Packer, for Hut
son has more than twice as much
yardage and has eight touchdowns
to Steve's singleton. But around
the circuit scouts and coaches alike
are pointing out that Hutson also
has years of experience on the fleet
Redskin rookie, and that at his
present pace Bagarus figures to
out Hutson Lon in another semester.
Hutson also has played one more
game than his 170-pound rival, and
the final tally may find them closer
than the tatooing on a sailors chest.
Bagarus Real Bargain.
Bagarus' sudden rise to prom
inence partially accounts for the
broad smile Prexy George Marshall
is wearing, for he picked up the
player on the West Coast while Steve
was in the Army. At Notre Dame,
where he played one season under
Elmer Layden, Bagarus didn't get
chance to carry the ball and was
so lightly regarded by the pros his
name wasn't even placed on the
draft list when his class came up,
Bagarus may turn out to be the
million-dollar bargain of pro foot
ball, for Marshall got his name on
a contract for the small sum of one
streetcar token. Steve was sup
posed to hire a cab to meet the
Redskin chief, but a couple of years
on CT pay had curbed any free
spending tendencies he might have
had and he came by streetcar In
stead. But Steve likes to ride the
cabs now and mas a contract that
gives him plenty Of leeway in that
direction.
Meanwhile, Frank Atkins continues
to lead the leagues ball carriers with
391 yards, and stands sixth in scor-
ing with five touchdowns. Sammy
Baugh, of course, still is on top In
passing with the scorching average
of .708 for 80 competitions in 113 at
tempts. Baugh also sent his total
yardage to 1,005 last week, but the
Tribes insistence on scoring off its
running attack didn't help his
touchdown record.
