Minnesota, Michigan and
Northwestern Head Big 10
By Karl Hllllgan
CHICAGO (AP) Minnesota. Michigan and Northwestern on paper
appear ready to turn the 1939 Big Ten football show into a "Big
Three" race.
Many western conference football
observers see It that way. But other
onlookers think that a general im
provement In many teams may make
' the fall battle one of the most wide
open title scraps in recent years.
At Minnesota, Coach Bernle Bier,
man must replace Francis Twedell
and Charley Schultz In the line, but
several 1938 reserves are ready tor
full time Jobs. Blerman again has
Harold Van Every as his back field
key man and is expected to round
another powerhouse offense such as
have characterized Gopher teams
since 1933. -
Michigan's Frits CrlBler has a hard
time concealing enthusiasm over
Wolverine prospects and for good
. reason. He has a good line and a
backtleld which may develop Into
one of the best In the country. Forest
Bvashevskl, quarterback, and Tom
Harmon, halfback, made the Associ
ated Press Big Ten all-star team as
sophomores In 1938. This pair is ex
pected to - work with Paul Kromer,
ranked by many as Harmon's equal,
and a- fourth back selected from a
wealth of ball-toting material.
You hear a lot about Northwest
ern's Bill De Correvont, but this
sophomore, and other first year men,
will have plenty of trouble winning
regular berths on a. Wildcat-team
expected to be built around exper
ienced performers. Coach Lynn Wal
dorf likes seasoned players and has
them. Twenty-two lettermen are
scheduled to return, and Waldorf ap
parently has the making of a strong
well balanced team.
Purdue, which finished JUBt ahead
of Northwestern last fall with three
victories, one tie and one defeat, is
expeeted to be stronger. The Boiler
makers will have their speedy "B"
boys Jack Brown, Lou Brock and
Mlks Byelene around which to build
a fast attack.
Forty-eight players reported to
! Coach Harry Stuhldreher at Wiscon
sin, where the loss of such stars tus
fullback Howie Weiss, halfback Roy
Bellln and quarterback Vince Gavre
will be felt strongly. Illinois Is ex
'pected to be stronger, but hardly
rates as a title contender.
. Indiana's coach, Bo McMillln, said
recently that "we'll have a better
team than last year" official warn
ing that the Hoosiers will be tough.
McMllltn will build his line around
Capt. Bob Logan and Archie, Harris,
and has several capable, experienced
backfield men returning.
Ohio State, which won three games,
lost two and tied one last fall, U
expected to come up with an impro
vised team. Backs such as Jim
Strausbaugh, Don Scott and Jim Sex
ton will give the Buckeyes plenty
of punch. The same, however, can't
be said for Chicago, where lack of
experienced material again will
handicap Clarl Shaughnessy,
One new Big Ten coach is making
a conference debut. Dr. Eddie Ander
son will try to put Iowa back on the
conference football map and while
the Hawkeyes are expected to be
better than in 1938 they must make
an uphill climb If they are to gain
first division rating.

DE SOUZA IS NAMED
1 FLEET ADMIRAL
FOR AVIATION HELP
PostmatUr Frank DeSouza today
was an "Admiral of the Flagship
Fleet" and had an engraved eard and
& framed certificate to prove it.
The appointment as admiral came
from C. R, Smith, president of Amer
ican Airlines, Inc.. as a token of Mr.
DeSouza ' work In promoting use of
airmail and in encouraging the avia
tion Industry In general. A lengthy
letter from the airline company ex
plained that Mr. Smith was commem
orating this year's national postmas
ters' convention- in Washington, D.
C. October 10, 11, 13, by appoint
ing to the "Order of Admirals of
the Flagship Fleet" postmasters In
cities served directly by airmail who
have been active in their support of
aviation.
The letter aald In one paragraph:
"The title la of course an honorary
one and will serve to indicate to
your many friends the high esteem
chat America holds for you. Ths
framed certificate Is Intended to be
a constant and visible reminder be
tween yourself and the industry
which you have helped to build. In
this way we desire to give a vote of
thanks, In an individual way, to the
Individual men who are responsible
for the forces which have made pos
sible the phenomenal growth of aviation."
tied to his mother's apron strings,
She might have added that she was
the first woman ever to fly a Wright
biplane. But she didn't, merely ac
cepting in silence the reminder that
no one may fly n plane - unless
granted a permit by the federal gov
ernment.
However, Mrs. Anna Cleveland
James, actress, writer and former
flier, who years ago planned to leave
the stage to devote her life to avia
tion smilingly declared at the end
of the flight that the experience
"was marvelous, even for Just a pas
senger,
The flight was the first Mrs. James
had made in 27 years. Recalling how
in 1912 she set an endurance record
for women fliers with a 37-minute
flight, and a few days later estab
lished a new mark of 40 minutes,
she said: -
"I'm going to try it again. Imag
ine being able to shoot up almost
vertically to gain altitude. - Why.
when I learned to fly in those pre
historic crates wd had to circle and
circle to gain any altitude at all."
Mrs. JameB remembered how she
used a special strap to keep her skirts
from billowing out when she was
learning to fly In 1912.
"Women In those days had not
adopted the sensible flying suits that
girls of today wear," she said.
Mrs. James, a native of New Or
leans, said her flying ardor was
cooled by an accident at Boston.
There She saw Harriet Qulmby, who
brought one of the first monoplanes
to this country, crash to her death.
"I lOBt my Interest in flying then,"
she said, "and decided to remain on
the stage. But with the progress of
aviation, I have lost my fear."
