Sixty thousand spectators are go- ing to sit in at tomorrow's game. Northwestern promises to be much tougher than Drake, which was bowled over 85 to 7 a week ago, be- cause the Wildcats will have more reserve strength and a better all around team. But even the most optimistic Northwestern rooter hopes for nothing more than a close score. Chicago, with the old cry, "Beat Purdue," plays the Boilermakers at Stagg Field with the prospective at- tendance of 35,000. The Maroons will hit the Purdue line wth a tre- mendous burst of fury, and if the Purdue defense falters they may find themselves so far down in a few min- utes that they can never make it up even with the advantage of reserve material. Berwanger Outstanding In Jay Berwanger the Maroons have unquestionably one of the great- est scoring weapons in the game to- day, but they have only one first string line-up that must stand up and face the battering. It will be up to this little group to put over the most important game of the year for them, and under the circumstances they figure their chances will, be better early rather than late. Minnesota plays Tulane at Min- neapolis with Indiana meeting Cin- cinnati at Cincinnati. Illinois and Iowa will be idle, resting up for their important encounter at Champaign a week hence. Before even making a pass at its Big Ten schedule, Minnesota will try to finish the ground work for na- tional gridiron honors tomorrow at the expense of Tulane's Green Wave at Minneapolis. A similar arrangement last year worked out perfectly. In their first two major battles in 1934, the Goph- ers polished off Nebraska and Pitts- burgh. Then they went on to win the Big Ten title with five victories. Handled Nebraska The Nebraska part of this year's intersectional assignment was suc- cessfully handled last week. Unless Tulane stirs up more opposition than the figures indicate, the Gophers will head into their conference schedule against Northwestern next week for- tified with two major victories. The game will be the first between Minnesota and the southerners, but at least a few members of the latter eleven will be familiar to Coach Ber- nie Bierman. Before returning to his alma mater in 1933, the Gopher coach directed Tulane's gridiron warfare. Notre Dame shares the spotlight meeting the undefeated, untied Uni- versity of Pittsburgh eleven at South Bend, for a battle that may draw 50,000 heralding the return of the golden era at Notre Dame. The game appears to be a toss up, bringing to- gether evenly matched teams, at- tempting to preserve their winning streaks. ri I-M Sports I SPEEDBALL RESULTS Lambda Chi. Alpha 11, Phi Gamma Delta 6. SQUASH John Fechnay and William Layhe have reached the quarter-finals in the orientation week squash tournament. HORSESHOES S. Casmer and A. Michelson have reached the quarterfinals in the ori- entation week horseshoe tournament. ESPITE the fact that grid experts all over the country are disagreed as to the outcome of most of the major games this week-end, the Staff prognosticators are in complete ac- cord as to the results of 12 of the 20 contests included in this week's concensus list. The Michigan eleven is unanimous- ly selected to defeat the Wisconsin gridders at Madison this afternoon. This shows considerable gain in con- fidence over last week's vote when Michigan was picked to down the Hoosiers by a margin of one. The winning choices of the other Conference games are also chosen by a consentient opinion-Ohio State over Northwestern, Purdue over Berwanger and Chicago, Minnesota to beat Tulane, and Indiana to down Cincinnati. The other unanimous choices are Michigan State to continue its winning streak at the expense of Boston College, Army over Harvard, Kentucky to conquer Auburn, Ne- braska to take Kansas State, Prince- ton to overcome Rutgers, and learn- ing a lesson from last week's Mis- sissippi State catastrophe, Tennessee to stem Alabama's Crmson Tide. Despite the fact that Pittsburgh is the pre-game favorite over Notre Dame, the Panthers managed to get only one vote. The Staff concensus: Michigan (8) -Wisconsn (0). Minnesota (8) -Tulane (0). Ohio State (8) -Northwestern (0). Purdue (8)-Chicago (0). Indiana (8) -Cinncinati (0). Associated Press Photo. Gomer Jones, 200-pound center and captain of Ohio State's pow- erful gridders, will lead his team against Northwestern today in the Buckeyes first Conference tilt. Jo'nes is the spark plug of the Scarlet and Gray eleven and his fine flay in his team's early games has brought him under the scrutinizing glance of the selectors of the All-American squads. Northwestern will find it mighty difficult to gain through the center of Ohio's line with this stalwart in the lineup. Levandowski, I-M Ring Coach, Holds Decision Over Braddock III Ill By RICHARD LaMARCA ' Martin Levandowski, I-M boxing coach, is one of the fighters who holds a decision over Jimmy Braddock, pres- ent heavyweight champion, whose spectacular comeback reached a cli- max when the fighting Irishman re- cently outpointed Max .Baer to win the coveted title. Levandowski met Braddock twice, losing a close decision in the first bout but coming back. to win the second encounter by a rather close margin. "I fought Jimmy in Chicago in 1933," Martin said. "Previous to this match, I was going pretty well in Chi- cago, having knocked out Bob Olin, present light-heavyweight titleholder, in five rounds, and having won a de- cision over Harold Scarney. A light heavyweight, I was scheduled to meet George Nichols, at that time cham- pion. However, George didn't show up so Braddock was sent in as a sub- stitute. Jimmy fought as a heavy- weight and I gave away 11 or 12 pounds. Braddock was declared the winner but not by a very wide mar- gin. Rematched In St. Louis "Following, this bout it was rather difficult to schedule a rematch, in fact Jimmy ran out on me three times. Finally, after two months had passed by; Braddock decided to meet me again, this time in St. Louis. Jimmy had knocked out Al Stillman, a St. Louis boy, and naturally a favorite with the fans, and as a result was fa- vored to win. However, I managed to gain the referee's nod in a close ten round bout. I've never met Brad- dock since, though I did write him a. Ten Juveniles Entered In Kentucky Club Stakes LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 18. -- (P) -- Ten juvenile hopefuls -nine colts and a filly, which probably will fur- nish the winter book favorites for the 1936 Kentucky derby -were in train- ing at Churchill Downs today for the Kentucky Jockey Club stakes at one mile, to be run Saturday. With 10 starters the race will gross nearly $13,000 and the winner's por- tion will be $9,000. In the field are He Did, Thatagal, Erin Torch, Emileo and Boston Pal. Thatagal, a filly, and Erin Torch are the Dixiana entry. letter congratulating him on his vic- tory over Baer." Martin remembered a very inter- esting incident in his second fight in St. Louis: "The fellow who was act- ing as my second told me to keep working into Jimmy's left hand. 'Don't crowd him.' The first right hand punch which Braddock threw, after the bout was only about 30 seconds old, hit me in the eye and immediately closed it entirely.. You couldn't even get a pen knife between the eye lids. I saw his right coming and tried to get away from it but it came right on." Braddock Not Flashy "What about Braddock's style of fighting?" "Well, Braddock is primarily a tall boy and although not a flashy fighter, he's deliberate and boxes fairly well. He punches hard with his right hand and is exceptionally tough and cour- ageous. You don't have to worry about him backing out or quitting be- cause he keeps right on fighting as long as he's on his feet. In my two fights with him I had to crowd in and counter my way. You can't stand off because he spears you with a long right hand which knocks your head off. I'd like to see him beat Louis, when they fight, because he's a nice chap and a good sportsman." Better Than Schmeling In reference to Louis fighting either Braddock or Schmeling, Levandowski said, "Braddock will give Louis a bet- ter fight than Schmeling. In the first place, he'll box more naturally than Schmeling and although he may not punch as hard, his blows are short and stiff. Neither one will give Louis a very hard fight. Louis is the type that comes out once in a generation. He's a natural fighter. His boxing ability, terrific power, quickness of eye, and reflexes all go to make up a great fighter." Martin Levandowski spent his freshman year -t Western State Teachers College. His home is Wha- len, Michigan, just south of Grand Rapids. He boxed as an amateur for three and a half years and turned pro in 1930. "I entered the fight game for the glamour of it, but I turned pro because I wanted to earn some money.
