(' Wa that they played in professional football games with the knowledge and . consent of Adolph “Germany" Schultz ; the school's athletic director, and that , two of them ’were actually sent into <hc game by Schultz. The boys told Mr. Ward that Schultz , was coach of the pro team and that he ; was sitting on the bench before and ] during the games in which they played. The statements of the South Side ; players were the sequel to charges ....... ber of the school beard, at a meeting ot that uody Monday, to the effect that Schultz was permitting the boys on the high school Warn to p ay professional football in violation of school , athlbtic assciation rules. Captain Schopf. Dehaven and Wellman admitted >to Superintendent Ward that they had played in the games as charged. They said they were playing for the love of the game and had not received any money. Wellman and Dehaven said yester- , day in discussing the affair that they had been approached in regard to playing with the pros by a representative of the team. The boys said at this time that they were doubtful as to whether they would be permitted to play with a i team outside of the school and told the pros' representative that they would play providing Athletic Director Schultz gave his consent. ' The pros’ representative promised to see about this and when time for the game arrived the players were in uniform and were sent into the game by Coach Schultz, one at the start of the contest and one iater on in the game. Earl W. Stall!, manager of the Sunday team, said last night, that none of the high school boys had received money for playing in the games and that none had been promised, the po.icy of the club being to wait until the end of the season and divide the ( profits among the players, if there was any balance left after al J expenses were paid. Members of the school board seemed to feel that the greater part of the | blame rested upon the shoulders of Athletic' Director Schultz, who had aided the youths in breaking athletic association rules and who, they said, sat on the players’ bench beside the South Side players while the games were in progress. It was also charged by a South Side citizen last night that Schulz had been using the South Side high school gymnasium in the evenings as a practice place for his pro, fessional team. Coach Schulz i» said to have admitted to friends that he was in a

i "pretty light fix," and has not shown J tiny dlsposhinn to d'iiy th»' charges brought he rife the school Iriar I. IT said that he did not know Wellman .intended playing until he appeared on ‘the field In uniform Sunday, but allowed him to go into the game z —" ■ —-o- ■- ARMY AND NAVY ELEVENS STRONG I Final (lame Between Cadets And Midshinmen For National Title Looms Now York, Nov. 10 —(United Press) For the first time since Xootbail really became national, a final game of the season for a recognized national championship is in the making. The Army nd the Navy teams may play their annual game not only for the traditional service‘flag but for ■ the national title. The Army, of course, has had great 'teams in the past and the Nhvy has had as many but it never before so | happened that the Cadets and the 1 Midshipmen had such high class ,in the same season —a season with * so many other great teams. i The formidable barriers, however, I stand in the way of the West Point and Annapolis teams. To go into I their annual game undefeated the I Army will have to beat Notre Dame Saturday and the Navy will have to beat Georgetown. The whole country knows what can be expected of the Irish of Notre Dame hut to the fans in* removed territory the Irfsh of Gl'orgetown may not he so respected. Georgetown, the leading scoring team of the country, has developed fast since being by West Virginia and the team has been pointed for a neighborhood battle with the Navy. The Army has beaten Detroit. Davis-Elkins. Syracuse, Boston University, Yale and Franklin and Mar shall and if the Cadets beat Notre Dame and the Navy, no stronger claim can be made by any other teams, granting the fact in advance that-the western conference will have a good team and that Stanford an I Southern California on the coast, must be good teams. Notre Dame has beaten Belpit. Minnesota. Penn State. Northwestern. Georgia Tech and Indiana. If Notre Dame lieats the Army and Drake beats Southern California in Les Angeles next month. Notre Dame would be a champion almost by acclamation. .... ..11......0 I ALONG THE SIDELINES (By United Press) West Point. —Trapnell. star of the Army back field, who was injured i:i the Syracuse game, will be in shape to play against Notre Dame in New York Saturday, according to announcement by Coach Biff Jones. New Haven.—Death of the mother of Wm. Kline, Yale's backfield ace, may mean that he will be lost to the team in the Princeton game Saturday. Annapolis, Md. —Distribution of 30,000 tickets for the Army-Navy football game in Chicago, Nov. 27, hat been completed by the Navy Academy Athletic Association, accoihfing to an- ’ nouncement by Commander Jonas H. Ingram, athletic director. 1 Chicago.—Maroon hopes for a vic-, tory over Northwestern Saturday have been slightly brightened by the return .to the regular line-up of Ken and Stan Rouse, two stars who have been out with injuries. I Evanston.* Ill.—A fighting freshman team that has used Chicago plays to considerable advantage in this week's jpactices has served to dispel any thoughts of over-confidence among the j ' Northwestern football players regard ' ing victory agafnst Chicago Saturday Champaign. 111. — Defensive drill against Ohio State plays is the center of attention in the Illihi camp this week.

Getting the Fever “The Decatur-Bluffton football game is giving us the fever in spite of the fact that we’re right in basketball.

Both teams always play better but this time we’re expecting the Tigers to play the better of the two.
