CHANGE ENDS HIS ; COLLEGE CAREER .Wheaton Ice-Man Leads His i Illinois Team Against Ohio State Eleven By H. W. Sharpe it’. P. Staff Correspondent) Ohio Stadium. Columbus. 0.. Nov. 21. — (United Press)--Red Grange, the I Wheaton iceman, will bid goodbye to the intercollegiate gridiron this afternoon when he leans his Illinois team mates against Ohio State. I The starting gun will find Red in his old place in the backfield, a place that will be filled by another moleskin warrior next fall. All the ingredients of ideal football weather —brilliant sunshine, crisp autumn air and a fast dry field —were on tap for the opening whistle Fighting Bob Zuppke. dvnamic Illinois mentor, announced his team was In good shape, but was not overconfident. Doe Wilce. the Buckeye tutor, announced that he will sene in the same crippled line that has re eived praise for its tenacious defense | The passing of Grange will be singularly different than two years ago when he ran for a touch* >wn against Ohio State. Then he was an outstanding athlete, but now he >s hailed' as the superman of the gridiron. I Regardless of whether he Redhead .becomes a professional football player 'or sells Florida real estate, this inter- ; collegiate star holds the eyes of the nation. I When Grange hears the final whistle and scurries for the dressing room, one of the most stupendous ovations over bestowed upon a m >n probably will be aconled him. whether or not he gets away, or i s cut down by the fighting Buckeyes. While itsually (indisputable sources were relating under oath that Red had signed a contract with C. C. Pyle. Champaign, 111., theater owner and that the sorrel-top will play professional football with the Chicago Bears and others. Grange himself will not confirm this until after the game. Besieged and harangued by scores of newspaper inen until he i s what Bob Zuppke describes as a "bundle of nerves," Grange was expected io briefly outline his future plans, flee from the stadiqm and hide out until time for his “date.” Red is known to bo “dated" witli a Columbus debutante for tonight and not caring to have his evening spoiled by inquisitive scribes, was expected to outline his future as quickly as possible. Whether or not is was learned before the game that Grange has actual, ly signed a contract to play professional football, la all probability it would i not affect his status this afternoon.

Biff League Players May Continue Writinff By Henry L. Farrell <P. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. 21—(United Press) Major leagife baseball players will be permitted to continue writing for newspapers but they will be held responsible for everything appearing under their name, it was indicated, following a brief visit here by Commissioner Landis. The writing players will not even be put under'an obligation to write • their own stuff but they will be expected to read what has been written for them before it is published or beI come liable for unfavorable results. I When Roger Peckinpaugh, the Washington shortstop, was asked during the last world’s scries what hg meant by writing that Umpire Horiarity missed a decision on him, Peck replied that he didn't write the article and that the first he saw of it was In print. II Commissioner Landis, at that time, held him responsible for making the ’ criticism and Peck, it is understood, had to apologize. Bucky Harris, the Washington manager, also had to beg i the pardon of the officials for a crack I he made about their powers of vision. -— o—_1 —Subscribe For The Daily Democrat —
