YELLOW JACKETS DEFEAT GARRETT D.H.S.Eleven Wins Its First (lame Os The Season Here Saturday, 6-0 In spite of the fact that they were p aying in a sea of mud. the Decatur )ph school Yellow Jackets came through with a victory over the highly touted Garrett high school football t am, Saturday. The score was 6-0. | A small crowd of spectators weathered the cold weather and when the game started only about 100 people were at Ahr’s field. In the first few minutes of play the visitors rushed the ball to the Decatur 20-yard line and it appeared as I though the Yellow Jackets were due | for a good trimming, but in a few minutes the home town team tightened; and held for downs on their own 15-; yard line. On an exchange of punts.Decatur gained about 20 yards and at ; that point of the game it seemed as I though a new spirit made its way in- 1 to the battered spirits of the Decaturi team and every man played in great ' form. In the second quarter Decatur start ed a drive down the field and when | the half ended the local dieven was on the Garrett 10 yard line and had just) completed a first down. In the second half of the game, the. locals showed the same fine spirit ; that marked the closing part of the j first half. The backfield was working, fine and the line was giving the best• support of the year. Opening up a series of forward passes. Coach Marshall’s team tore down towards the: Garrett goal. Once the team was slopped on downs, but on the next play Decatur intercepted a Garrett pass and continued to drive toward tho! visitors' goal. With only a few minutes of the third quarter remaining, the locals started a series of line plunges and tore large holes in the line of their much heavier opponents. Finally. Chet Reynolds. Decatur back-field star, tore through center and across the Garrett goal for the only score of the game. Attempt for point after the touchdown failed because of the muddy conditions of theh field and ball. In the final period. Garrett tried hard to-stage a rally and at one time, by i completing several forward passes, the , visitors managed to get into Decatur, territory, but not for long, becau-e the Decatur line held and a poor punt bv the Garrett quarter was recovered I by Decatur in mid-field. As the game ended. Decatur was in the midst of a smashing advance toward a second touchdown and as the locals neared the 10-yard line, time saved the visitors from having their goal crossed a second time. Some people who learned the score were of the opinion that ft was luck that won for Decatur, hut those who saw the game know different. The local outfit showed 100 per cent improvement and they outclassed the i visitors in every phase of the game. The Garrett team outweighed the locals by about a fifteen-pound average. but the football spirit was in the heart of every Decatur player and they p'ayed to win. MICHIGAN TEAM LEAHS IN FIELD Wolverines Rank As Best Team Os Season At Present; Penn and Aarmy Fall New York, Nov. 2.—(United Press) —By an overwhelming 54 to 0 victory over a fine Navy team. Michigan, for the time at least, ranks as the best football team of the season, in the opinion of eastern critics. The downfall of Penn before Red Grange’s Illinois team and the defeat handed to a powerful army eleven by T ale removed the two leading eastern contenders for the mythical national championship and left Michigan practically alone. Dartmouth remains undefeated now as the eastern leader, but Dartmouth hasn’t the record that Michigan has made. Michigan has beaten three western conference teams — Indiana, Wisconsin. and Illinois. Indiana held Syracuse to two touchdowns and Illinois drubbed Penn. Yale staged a surprising comeback with a brilliant defense that turned all the army errors into points. If Darthmouth is defeated in the coming games and Syracuse does not keep a clean slate, Yale will be very

much in the running for the eastern I title. Alabama with four victories and no 1 defeats. Is leading the southern teams. Missouri, undefeated, holds first place In the Missouri Valley conft rence and Stanford. California and Washington are tied for the lead on the Pacific coast. Michigan, of course, is the class of Western conference. Eddie Tryon, the brilliant Colgate back, still holds individual scoring honors in the east with 90 points, although the Michigan Aggies would allow him to do nothing better than kick two goals after touchdwons Saturday. Cowboy Kittach. the lowa back, leads the Western conference In scoring with 49 points and Benny Friedman. the star Michigan back, is second with 43. Southern California leads the country in team scoring with 28# points. ; Darthmouth has scored 245. Cornell 212. and Columbia 210. 1 Eastern football took a bad smacking Saturday when Penn and the : Navy, two of the best teams in the east, were flopped by Michigan and Illinois, the middlewest also scoring when Notre Dame beat Georgia Tech. o ■ — — Holthouse Helps Bronson Hall Team Defeat C.C.H.S. Hugh Holthouse, former Decatur I Catholic high school athlete, helped | the Bronson hall football team from Notre Dame defeat the Central Cath-] olic high school team of Fort Wayne last Saturday. 12-0 Holthouse play,ed fullback on the Bronson hall . team. Robert Voglewede. another ■ ex-D. C H. S. athlete who is on the Bronson hall squad, did not get into | the game Saturday While in Catholic high school. Holthouse played against C. C H. S. four times, and! on three of the occasions he was forced to taste of defeat and in the other game the score was a tie. so, the victory Saturday was sweet to him. o COLLEGE FOOTBALL Yale. 28; Army. 7.

"RED"GRANGE IS HERO ONCE MORE 1 1 Illinois Captain Responsible ’ For Defeat Os Pennsylvania, 24-2

I By Edward C. Derr, i (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Chicago, 2. Red Grange has f returned to the middlewest and this I section of the country will divide its ,'time for the remainder of the football | season between commending Red .'Grange for magnificent Work last SatII urday and worrying about what he 'will do aga'nst the midwestern teams he has yet to meet. Grange, from the middlewestern viewpoint, established the superiority of middlewestern football by defeating Penn, the mightiest team in the east, 24 to 2. For that achievement he will everlastingly be thanked. But Illinois* great victory over Penn demonstrated another thing—that Bob Zuppke at last has built a line that can charge and block and a backfield that can run interference for Grange. This means that Illinois may yet cause trouble in the Big Ten conference despite the fact that the Orange and Blue already is eliminated from championship hopes. Grange will be called upon to show his wares this week-end against Chicago’s Maroons, a team that has not been defeated so far in the Big Ten. If the Wheaton iceman performs anything like he did against Penn. Chicago will be sent out of the championship race. Michigan's great scoring machine, coached by Fielding Yost and led by ' Benny Friedman, shared honors with Illinois in setting up middlewestern football through an overwhelming victory over Navy. 54 to 0. The Wolverine team Is unquestionably one of the most powerful in the country. Michigan this week meets Northwestern and should continue its winning way toward a western conference championship. Northwestern came through with a 17 to 14 victory over Indiana Saturday hut unless "Moon” Baker returns to the lineup and gives the Wildcats some added punch, they will not give Michigan much of a fight. In the other middlewestern games Saturday. Wisconsin made a great rally in the last quarter to tie Minnesota. 12 to 12: lowa took things easy in defeating Wabash, 28 to 7. and Ohio State found little difficulty in beating Wooster. 17 to 9. Michigan, with three conference victories and no defeats; lowa, with two wins, and Chicago, with two victories and one tie. led in the Big Ten. Minnesota got a tie in its only conference start. All the other Big Ten teams have been beaten. Big Reception On Return Urbana, HI.. Nov. 2 —(United Press) —Red Grange returned to his classes at the University of Illinois' today, and if he had his way about it. he would be simply "one of the 11.000 students” doing the same thing. But Red doesn't hav P his own way about things in Urbana as he does against opposing teams on the gridiron. He’s an idol in the twin cities of Urbana and Champaign despite all he can do to make It appear otherwise. More than 20,090 people stormed the railroad station here last night when Red and his teammates returned from Phi.adelphia where they upset Penn, 24 .to 2. There was a cheer and there were many handclaps for all the squad, including Coach Bob Zuppke. But for Grange there was more. Red was hoisted to the shoulders of the crowd—after he had tried to escape by ducking off the rear plat-1 form —and was carried by the rejoicing multitude to his fraternity house. There he was called upon for a speech. “We had a fine visit down east,” he began, in a stuttering voice. “I don't know how to thank you fellows for everything but the team deserves the credit. And we’re certainly going to do everything in our power to lick Chicago next Saturday.’’ Then Grange ducked to cover and was spen no more for the night. East Likes “Red’’ (By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent) New York. Nov. 2—There are not enough adjectives or superlatives in the ordinary vocabulary to tell accurately what the east thinks of Red Grange. It was almost the unanimous opinion of veteran critics who saw Grange and ten other Illinois players | humiliate a great Pennsylvania team by a score of 24 to 2, that Grange is the greatest, ball carrier that ever ran a football field. Grange looked even better against the Pennsylvania team that he did . in the Michigan game when he ioae |to mountain heights of fame. He
