GRID SEASON IS DRAWING TO CLOSE Hoosier Foothall Teams Qn Last Lap Os Race: Several (James Saturday IndUaapnrs. Nov. 13. With Hook-, ier gr.d crews already on the lid lap of the race, and with several due; to windup the season tomorrow In | dlana sport fans will center their attention on two big scraps Saturday. Coach Phelan will send his hghting| Boilermaker eleven against the con-1 querers of Michigan when Purdue meets Northwestern in the leg Ross-. Ade stadium in the annual home-com-ing tilt. Th,. Boilermaker coaches have been , drilling the team all week in an effort to develop a man who can hit the lino for gains consistently. To date the Purdue machine has been able to hurl forward passes with uncanny accuracy but when points are; needed after the ball has been ad-1 vaneed to within seor'ng territory the I punch has always been m.sslng. Phelan also has his cap set fori another victory over Indiana and he, realizes that the Hoosiers have been developing a strong defense against an air attack and feels that if he hopes to win he must find a man to carry the bill. Indiana fans also will have their eyes on the Little Giants when Coach Vaughn sends his Wabash crew against the powerful Illilli at Urbana. I The Wabash team and coaching; staff realizes (that it is going up! against a mighty tough proposition.; It will be the last home game for Red I Grange and the big Wheaton icemtyi I will be anxious to strut h's stuff for: the benefit of the crowd which is ex , pected to pack the big stadium at | i’rbana. The Little Giants have been showing a smooth running attack in practice this week and while the players are not optimistic they are determined to make a good showing. Notre Dame also will come in for its usual portion of the limelight. The Irish are battling the Carnegie Tech crew on the South Bend gridiron and there is every reason to believe that Rockne will be able to carry away the honors by a safe margin. The Swede, is determined to make I up for the d’sappointnients of early j season reverses by finishing the season without another defeat. It is realized by the players ami fans alike that the most important game will be the battle against the Nebrar.k : s ~iad later in the season. At Richmond. Earlham and Franklin will mix in what will be the last game of the season for both schools. Each team has been able to make a fairly good record so far this season and a victory for either would be a fitting climax. The coaches have worked the players hard in an effort to develop not only strong defenses but offensive tnach'nes that will be able to advance the ball consistently. Hanover, after one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of the school will invade Greencastle to do battle with Coach Hughes’ Tigers in a hope of pulling a surpr'se victory and capping the season wth success. Indiana University. with its teum pointed toward the annual Purdue scrap is not expected to show much ' stuff in its fight against Rose Poly. Coach Navy B'll Ingram has been developing a defense against au aerial attack and the players regard the Rose Poly game merely as a good hard scrimmage which will put the squad in prime condition for the Boilermaker clash. Butler will play jts last home game of the season, opposing the Dayton University eleven on Irwin field. Coach Page has hopes of finishing the season without another defeat and has pointed his squad with that in m nd. A strong defense ami a consistent offense has been th e aim of the coach and reports from the practice field ind cate that this goal has about been 11 ached. _o Firpo Coming Back To Try For World’s Title Buenos Aires. Nov. 13. — (United Press. I — Luis Angel Firpo, South American heavyweight. w ; ll return to >ae United States in March for another effort to win the world's heavyweight championship, he said In an interview today.

Staff l’or) «»p.,n<lent> Chicago, Nov. 13. — (United Press) —* j Dartmouth’s undefeated big green team steamed into Chicago today, intent upon defeating Chicago Maroons ! tomorrow and claiming a national foot- ! hall championship. The Dartmouth players looked fit "and ready for the battle bitt coaches expressed some concern over, the prospects of a wet field, which would favor the Chicago eleven Among the fans, however, odds were' as high as 9 to 5 on Dartmouth, due to Chicago's indifferent showing in previous games. This game, because of the intersec- ' t tonal interest, heads the middlewest's football program for this weekend. The Notre Dame-Carnegie game at I South Rend is attracting only passing ; attention. (nions the championship games in i tfiv Big Ten conference, the Minne-isota-lowa dash at Minneapolis will attract widest attention with the Mich-igan-Ohio State game at Ann Arbor a ( lose second. Minnesota's Gophers earned a tie with Wisconsin in their only conference game to date and if they can win from lowa tomorrow and Michigan next week they can claim a championship. If they are defeated in either game, the title will be divided between several teams that have suffered onlyone defeat Ancient rivalry between Michigan and Ohio will be revived at Ann Arbor and the game will have something to ido with the final Big Ten standing because each team has suffered only one defeat and one of them is almost certain to be dumped from consideration. The Wolverines, who lost to Northwestern last Saturday in the greatest upset of the season, are favored to win tomorrow’s game. Still elated over their surprising victory over Michigan. Northwestern’s Wildcats journey to Lafayette and engage 1 urdue. A victory for Northwestern will place that team in a position to claim a tie for the title if Minnesota Is beaten in one of its games. The rest of the Big Ten teams take on non-conference opponents. Illinois will meet Wabash at Urbana and in this game Re Grange will make his la; t appearance on an Illinois gridiron. He will close hisi collegiate career against Ohio State at Columbus next week. Wiscons’n clashes with Michigan State at Madison and Indiana plays host to Rose Poly at Bloomington. _O ! Purdue Home-coming To Be Held Saturday Lafayette, Nov. 13. —Thousands of Purdue alumn’, ex-st dents and followers of the Boilermaker football team began arriving in Lafayette today to attend Purdue’s annual Homecoming football game with Northwestern in :he Ross-Ado stadium Saturday afternoon. and to also be guests at various social and other functions which have been arranged for the occasion. The ticket sale for the contest has been proceeding in most satisfactory fashion, according to 8. Doan. Manager’of tick'-t sales, but many good seats remain available.

I o— Great Grandfather Is Still A Wife-beater I ■' - — I Vienna. Nov 13.—(United Press) Johann Wacorosky is a real life conundrum which his neighbors have been unable to solve despite much discussion and debate. He Is seventy years old, is a greatgrandfather. is the father of a child on'y five months old. and is still a wife-beater. ' According to his neighbors, p man who has reached the age of seventy and has had such ample opportunity to spank three generations of children, should have lost his interest in such pastimes as wife-beating -H.'s wife agrees with them; and. al though she has aroused hfs wrath and beating proclivities by coming home drunk late one evening, she carried her bruises and her husband before a local magistrate. Wacrosky was fined the equivalent of fifty cents. i o Harvard Has Fallen From Football Heights By Henry L. Farrell. (United Press Sports Editor) Ne w York. Nov. 13. — (United Press) —Not so many years ago. Harvard was the reigning lord of football and . the ranking god of the royal Big . Three. What Harvard did on the I field was almost invincible and what Harvard said about football was in i fallible. i With a great system for developI Ing plays and players and an endless supply of fine husky and brainy material, it must have been felt a; Cambridge that the dynasty of Har vard football had a future as secure as the royal house of England. There were times in those regal days of the Mahans, the Hardwicks, the Brickleys, the Caseys and the

Owens when a Harvard defeat would have almost, a national sensation Perhaps in those days no Harvard utuu thoi'itht fbut a Harvard defeat would ever become torch n (■•»- Hl event that the news of ike 10-* would be burled in u column of type like an event of no more interest than the'Weather report I'oy Syria. Yet in Just n few years Harvard loot ball has collapsed. Percy Bought on, founder of the system that wis credited with the responsibility for Harvard's success, turned to other professional fields and died later just when he was begicrlty: to make a success of his s<st,'m al Columbia. Harvard material decreased in ymilIty and Quantity. The old grads groaned and wept and shouted for a change. "The blood of th,> coaches be upon their heads!'' (hey yelled. "Our kingdom for some football playera." There must be some reason why Harvard cannot attrai i the boys who go from prep schools to Yale and Princeton, to Dartmouth and Pennsylvania ami to any number of smaller schools The educational advantages are certainly as good at Harvard —if not better — than at any other big uni- ✓ vers'ty and the associations that cun be made among the student body at Cambridge surely ar ( > as valuible as they are at Yale or Princeton. Perhaps the tuition and the overhead at Harvard restrict the student body to boys of wealthy families and the social exactions coniine th,, undergraduates.to the off-springs of aristocracy. but there are plenty of athletes with money and family behind them at Yale and Princeton and other big universities. There must be some reason. It is up to Harvard to find the reason, and it’is beside the point to discuss any theories here because theories are not always solutions ami only Harvard is in pain over the situation. Harvard has been Iteaten three years in a row by Dartmouth, and ac-' cording to an article in a recent issue of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin. Dartmouth will beat Harvard every time they meet in the future I unless some changes are made at Harvard. Only two avenues of escape from the Dartmouth oppression are open — either quit playing Dartmouth or get ' a better team than Dartmouh. J—WANT ADS EARN- B—l—| TO PROTECT YOU !
