Middle West Leading In Intersectional Contests (By Henry L. Farrell) (United Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago, Oct, 22 —With half the season gone and with most of the big intersectional games out of the way, the middlewest practically has cinched the season's intersectiona) championship.

Marquette has defeated the Navy. Notre Dame has defeated the Army. Chicago has beaten Brown. Nebraska has beaten Colgate. Notre Dame has three more inter-1 sectional games against Princeton, Georgia Tech and Carnegie and it is quite possible that three more victories will be chalked up for the middlewest. Western conference teams have

made the best showing of any organized group in the country. In twenty games this season between conference teams and none-members they have won seventeen, lost two and tied one. Missouri, one of the big guns of the Missouri Valley conference, beat Chicago 3 to 0. Louisiana came up from the south and beat Indiana and little Coe held Wisconsin to a tie, Notre Dame has two more games with conference members, Wisconsin and Northwestern and the chances aren't very bright for the conference teams. The Wisconsin Notre Dame game will be one of the biggest games of the year as the conference is lined up to a man behind Wisconsin to uphold the prestige of the “Big Ten." Notre Dame is going into the Princeton game Saturday with a team that Knute Rockne is worried over. The writer saw Notre Dame work out yesterday at South Bend and Rockne admitted that he wasn't too sure. Rockne is no Dobie in spreading gloom but he is worried about center. Adam Walsh, who was cinching an all-American berth, is out of the game . for three weeks with two broken hands and Rockne admits gloomily that he had no one to take his star center's place. He is trying Maxwell and Harmon and from the way Rockne got after them yesterday was odv,pus that he figured they weren't

there. The regular backfield was badly battered up by the Army last Saturday and they are not in shape yet to hard work. The Notre Dame squad leaves tonight for Princeton and the University of Chicago squad also will shove off for Columbus where the team will play the big game of the conference week against Ohio State on Saturday.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

It this snappy weather holds out until next Friday and Saturday there will be some mighty snappy football games over the week end. And one of them will be in our own back yard. Kenny Pass delights in calling the Portland Panthers the strongest team in northern Indiana, Sidelines of Huntington will have about all of that he can use before long, we imagine, and then he will start hurling bricks over into Jay County. Three straight defeats have failed tn dampen the spirits of Sport Com- 1 ment. He’s still boasting as much as ever and seems to have little fear of South Side next Saturday, f uck to you Sport. Poor Hartford City. Coach Gul- ' lion s boys HAVE to play the Portland Panthers next Saturday. It must go hard with the Peruvians to see the Peru Tigers trailing in the r<»ar of the other members of the Wabash Valley Conference after I he Tigers stepped out and won the 1 « n7 ?? laß * 01,1 Tiger mt what she used to be.

Wallop Hicksville. Yellow Jackets, and make it two straight.

The annual masquerade ball will be given by the General Electric employes Friday evening, October 31. at the Masonic hall. Prizes for the best masked persons will be given and good music will be furnished. The public is invited to attend. Thirty-flve cents addmission will be charged.
