With Elwood. ..
Tommorrow will be a big day for the
Green and White of Tech, as the fine
new athletic field will be officially
opened. Not a great deal is known of
ihe strength of Greenfield, but it is
a good football town and many real grid
players have been developed there. Ihe
game tomorrow will be watched with in
terest as it will give a line on Tech
and will perhaps have direct bearing
upon the State high school champion
ship. The battle will be probably a
tvpical early season game marked by
numerous substitutions to determine just
what the various players who are trjing
for berths c-an do under fire.
Coaches Burgess and Kingsoliver have
had a problem on tlielr hands endeavor

Hill and Mechanic Hurt
in Invitational Contest,

“Howdv” Wilcox nosed out Jimmy
Murphy in the last lap yesterday in the
fifty-mile invitational race held at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the en
tertainment of the d-legates to the
American Society for Steel Treating.
Although all of the drivers received
the same amount for the race there was
one driver that for the pure joy of the
thing was “stepping on the gas” all the
way. Jimmv Murphy, youthful winner
of the French Grand Frix, just naturally
wanted to win. He set the pace from
the start of the race, and it was “some”
pace at that, but Wilcox with his more
powerful car hung right to Murphy’s
heels. In the final lap when the IHiesen
berg. suddenly developed internal dis
orders, victo'ry was snatched from
Jimmy as Wilcox and his Peugeot
flashed over the finish a winner at the
time of .10 m’hutes and 50:04 seconds
for the fifty miles, an average of 07 5
miler per nour. The race, originally
carded as a 100-mile event, was cut in
half because of the delay in starting.
In the tenth lap of the race Bennie
Mill and his mechanician, in a Frontenae,
had remarkable escapes from death when
their car skidded on the south turn and
after hitting the retaining wall almost
head on. bonneed dear over the barrier
and down the bank on the other side,

NEW COACH AT FRANKLIN
FACES BIG TASK, BUT HE
BUILDS WELL FOR FUTURE
By HEZE CLARK,
Staff Correspondent of the Times.
FRANKLIN, Did., Sept. 22.—Few foot
ball coaches In the State have before them
as rough u road to travel during the
1021 season as William B. Nelp. off rank
lln College. Still there is not a coach
who is meeting the situation more brave
ly than Nelp.
The material at Franklin Is about as
good as it has been in some other jears.
That is not really the first rough spot in
the road of the Franklin coach. It is
the schedule that makes his road a hard
one to travel. The two first games are
of. a tvpe that would worry a coach of
one of' the Big Ten Conference colleges.
Not that Franklin'has a weak team, but
the Baptists are going up against some
big college teams In those first two games
that may batter up their players to gn
extent tnat will prevent them winning
many of the late season games that they
otherwise would have a chance to win.
Why schedule two teams like Indiana
University and Detroit University at
the start of a football season? The
question has been asked by followers of
the Franklin team. The answer is that
these two games will result In big
guarantees being paid to the Franklin
Athletic Association and It requires
money to run athletics at any school.
Football clothing and other equipment
cost far more this season than five years
ago. Therefore, Coach Nelp must pre
pare a team to play two elevens out of
its class in weight, experience and num
bers of men to select from.
BIILD lOK FUTURE
IS NELP IDEA.
Many football men would worry over
such a schedule as that which franklin
will play, but not Nelp. lie is k'oing
ahead training his players, teaching them
the rudiments of the game and develop
ing team play.
“We don’t expect to have a champion
ship team this year,” he explained
Wednesday. "We are building for the
future. Many of tho men are new and
have played basket-ball, but not toot
ball. It will take time to teach them
football. There Is one thing certain,
that while we are meeting teams of far
more weight and . experience than our
men have, the Franklin players
leam from these big team athletes and
what they learn will be of value to them
in the late season games.”
Coach Nelp is not disappointed in his
material. He believes it equal to ma
terial that was in the Franklin school In
other years. What the men need is ex-,
perience, and they certainly have a sched
ule that is so difficult that they will get
plenty of experience.
There is a different spirit at Franklin
this vear. The students and the towns
people both have faith in the ability of
Nelp to develop the best that is in the
football squad. John Thurber, until re
cently, had been coach and athletic di
rector for about ten years at Franklin.
He developed some strong teams, one of
which tied Purdue in football, but
Thurber was blessed with some of the
best material that any coach ever had a
chance to handle. Athletes of the ability
of Kingsoliver, Lowry, Bowen and "Zip
Ilavs and many others would be able
to win games almost without a coach
Thurber had his friends who believid
that the success of Franklin in athletics
was due to his work. There were al*.)
nun among the students, and many of
the townspeople, who follow the I rank
lin teams, who were firm la their belief
that the Baptists would develop stronger
teams under anew coach. The faculty
was solid behind Thurber. However,
Coach Thurber ha<l the opportunity to
make a change and he did so, alter hav
in’- devoted about ten years to trying
to°put Franklin close to the center of
the athletic map.
PRESENT COACH
WAS NATIONAL STAR.
This put the problem of getting anew
coach up to the Franklin athletic com
mittee. Nelp, one of the best players
that ever wore a Franklin College uni
form, was chosen. Nelp was a natural
football player. He had speed, Tie was
a star on offense and defense, and he
knew how to play the game. The pres
ent season will be a test of his ability
to teach football. The students and the
townspeople believe he knows how to
teach the grid sport. He has not had the
assistance of a squad of assistant
coaches, as have other football directors,
but has had to do tHe lion’s share of the
work himself. "Zip” Hays, former star
Franklin half back, visited ihe football
camp for two days ami was a real help.
Yont, another alumnus of Franklin who
wou fame as a football player, was help
ing Nelp Wednesday, but he will not
be able to devote his time during the
entire season to assisting in the coaching.
Therefore, it is fair to say whatever
success Franklin College enjoys in foot
ball during the present season will be
due to the efforts of Coach Nelp as
much as to any one thing, and he should
receive the lion’s share of the credit.
Whatever failures occur during the
season should not be placed too heavily
on the shoulders of the new Baptist
coach, for he is starting the heaviest
schedule ever planned for a Franklin
team, with many new and Inexperienced
men on his squad and he must teach
these new men a lot of football.
At Franklin they are not singing the
•Blues.” Far from it. The fanff who
have for vears held the bleachers in plae*
on the w'est side of the field, were on
the job Wednesday afternoon. "Nelp is
getting the work out-ffjf the boys,” de
clared one. "Give him time, ho will show
all of them how to make a football
team,” answered another. "He has some
of his regulars spilt up between the
varsity and the scrubs today and the
team isn’t running us smoothlv as It did
yesterday when all the regulars were
I on one team, but believe mo ho w ill give
| Frankliu a real team,” commented
I another football fan. It was this con
! fidence evident among the followers of
the team that was reflected In the work
iof tAe men In the scrimmage on the
field: They are working and working
harder than Franklin athletes have
worked in recent football seasons.
plans for taking care of crowds on the
Franklin athletic field are going for
ward and when the first home game is
pl ave d the football followers will find
more bl 'ackers have been built from
which they will have a chance to view
the earn", ’in past years at Franklin only
a couple of wires formed a fence aroun 1
the pla -ing space and these were soon
pressed down by the excited football
fans aid often spectators crowded onto
the fiel 1. Coach Nelp states he will have
a wire fence stretched around the foot
ball pitying space that will prevent any
spectator from getting too close to the
side liaes. Coa-h Nelp is also planning
to bring some of the best teams to Frank
lin in order that the home games may tie
interesting to the followers of his team.
Some of the games are still pending, but
most of the schedule has been completed.
At Franklin this year there are about
350 students enrolled and of tills num
ber there are about 178 men. This means
that when forty men appear in football
suits that Coach Nelp is reaching an un
usually large percentage of the men of
thq school who wish athletic training.
It is a mistake for any team represent
ing a school the size of Franklin to think
that Coach Nelp’s aggregation will prove
easy this year. Franklin opponents will
find that they are meeting a team that
has a world of fighting spirit. To be
sure Indiana and Detroit should have
no trouble In defeating the Baptists, but
these schools have five men to pick from
where Coach Nelp has one. Therefore,
they get larger ana more powerful
teams.
It Is a real problem to fill the quarter
back position at Frankliu after losing
Kingsoliver. who for four years proved
himself to be one of the best field gen
erals and quarter backs in the Central
West. Henry Owens, a former Franklin
High School player, is being tried at
quarter. Keith Shafer, of Peru High
School, is working :or the quarter-back
job. Keith is the 1 kid" brother of Paul
Shafer, famous football star on the 1017
football team at Franklin. George Rich
ardson. a South Dako'a player, is a
quarter back candidate nt Franklin. He
is small, but fast.
Earl Pike, the big powerful full back
of last year's Franklin team. has . been
ill and will not be able to play in the
early season games. Pike will give
great strength to the back field as soon
as he is in condition to play. Earl Rich,
George Cady and the speedy Joe Camp
bell. all regulars at Franklin last year
are In suit again (his season. There are
j some new back field men who have an
| excellent chance to beat the veterans to
the ipgolar position*. Fern Branig&n is
one of these. He is the nephew cf Mickey
Branigau who played ac Franklin years
ago. The writer well remembers playing
against Mickey, who was one of the
fastest and cleverest back field men in
the State in those days. Howard Sheeley,
a Hopewell High School athlete, and
Earl Kuhney, of Washington High
School, are both after back field posi
tions. Anton Furgeson and Vasil Merrill
are two back-field candidates who qro
members of the freshman class.
Franklin has another husky combina
tion of line men this year and the for
ward wall of the Baptists team will give
all opponents a good argument. The real
strength of the Franklin eleven is it*
ends. Stanley Strohl, captain, is one of
the fastest sprinters In the central West
Even the best track men of the big uni
versities have little chance at defeating
Strohl In a foot race. This big, husky
athlete is a man who can travel almost
as fast in a football uniform as in a
track suit. He is a. real, football player
and would make good bn any college
team In the State. Harry Gilmore, an
other of the regular end men on last
year's Frankliu team, is playing a faster
game than ever this season. Gimiore and
Strohl are both good men at taking care
of the receiving end of forward passes.
Jerrald Gale, basketball star of An
derson High School, is wearing the
Frankljn uniform this year. He will de
velop into a good end as soon as he ba
had a chance to learn more football.
Charles Cochran and Charles Webber of
last year's Franklin squad, are after
end places this year. "Woody” Riche
son, last year s Shelbvville High School
basketball star, is trying for end. If he
learns to play football half as good as
he plays forward on a basketball team,
be will be the hero of many a grid battle.
Merrill, a Franklin High School athlete,
is another end candidate.
BOBBY RECORDS
BACK ON JOB.
Three men are being worked at center,
but the two not used at that position
will be shifted to either guard or tackle
positions by Coach Nelp. They are uth
letes of exceptional class. John Bynum,
(tenter at Franklin last year, is one ol
these. Bobby Records, who played that
place two years ago at Franklin. Is an
other, but lie Is a man valuable at carry
ing the ball and may be used in some
other position. Records is a powerful
athlete and hits the line hara. But!
Friddle, who two years ago played center
on the Franklin High School basket ba'l
team, winner of tbe State championship,
this season is trying football. Friddle
is a well-built, speedy athlete and he it
fast learning the gridiron game.
"Sandy” Crowell and Clinton Fatelev,
both former Franklin High School ath
letes. are after guard positions. Mack
Whitcomb, a Iladen baseball player, is
also trying for guard.
Four men are the best of the tackles
Burnell Mumert played that position last
year. lie weighs close to the 200-pound
mark and for a time showed well in
scrimmage Wednesday, but did not ap
pear to be in condition. When Mumert
gets In shape he will give any tackle a
good argument. Dave Harrison and Bob
Pritchard are two other line men of last
year's Franklin team who are being
worked at tackle by Coach Nelp. Wil
liams of Salem Is anew man who is try
lug for tackle.
As a whole the Franklin team looks
as good now as former teams appeared
to be early In the season. The only
question seems to be will the Baptists’
chances of defeating Butler and F.arlbato,
the two Important opponents of the sea
son, be lost by overmatching the Frank
lin team early In the year. The Franklin
manager had a game schedule with Rose
Poly for Oct. 15, but the manager of
the Engineers has called off the game,
saying he finds that Rose Poly has two
games contracted for on that date.
The Franklin schedule follows. Sept.
24, Indiana at Bloomington; Oct. 1, De

SAINTS CLOSE
INDIAN SERIES
Last 1921 Appearance of
Apostles Here Today—
Opener Easy for Tribe.
The Saints were to make their last
appearance of the 1921 season at Wash
ington Park this afternoon and It was
hoped they would make a more serious
effort to play baseball than they did
yesterday when the Indians romped away
with an 18 to 4 victory. The Millers,
who have been practically knocked out
of tlielr pennant chances at Louisville,
will follow the Saints to the Tribe lot
for a series of games.
The contest yesterday was a batfast
and runfest for the Hoosiers and they
pounded the ball all over the lot. Mor
rison led in the slugging with two
triples and a double.
Harry Weaver chalked himself tip
another victory when he zipped Vm
through there so fast the Saints were
easily held oft. Harry fanned ten
visitors and had trouble with only two
visitors, Riggert and Hendryx. Riggert
clouted a home run with one mate on
In the fourth.
The Saints used three pitchers,
Sheehan, Marquard and Half. The
second named spells his name like the
famous Kube, but the resemblance stops
with the spelling. The Indians all but
knocked the youthful twlrler’s socks
off.
Douglass Baird, the champion speed
boy of the American Association hung
up two more stolen bases during the
pastiming. These late-season games are
worth witnessing of for nothing else
than to see Baird and Shinners speed
around the paths.
Base running is a lost art with some
clubs, but not so with the Indians. They
are the champs in this department.
The feature fielding In the contest
yesterday was contributed by Bob Kin
sella, who made a couple of leaping one
hand catches that would have made
Frank Merriwell feel like a Class XX
leaguer. Kinsella pulled his circus stunts
in the fifth and ninth, both being made
off drives by Joe Riggert.
Memphis Grabs First
FT. WORTH. Texas, Sept. 22.—Ft.
Worth went down before Memphis’ hat
ting In the first game of the Dixie series
yesterday when the Southern Associa
tion flag winners jumped on Bill Whit
taker’s offerings for four runs and four
hits in the fourth Inning. The score was
8 to 2. Oscar Tuero, Cuban twirler, was
effective all the way and tight in the
| pinches.
