SEASON TICKETS ON SALE TUESDAY Fans Asked To Call At High School Building Tuesday Night For Reservations The Decatur high school Yellow Jackets this afternoon will begin their final week of practice before their fit st game of the pn-sent basketball season, which will be played with the Kirkland high school Kangaroos, in this city, Friday night. The Commodores have been practicing for the last two weeks and are beginning to get footbail worked out of their system and showing signs of taking on a little basketball polish. Season tickets will go on sale Thursday evening at the high school building. Persons who wish to reserve their seats are asked to call at the high school blulding after 7:15 o'clock tomorrow evening, and make their selections. Season tiikeis for adults will sell for $5 each, the same as last year. Season tickets for school children will sell fcr $2 each. Seats will not be reserved tor school children, however. The price of children's season ticket. 1 ; has been raised front $1.75 to $2 this year, due to the fact that tha second team will play a few games here when the first team is away from home, and the season tickets will admit the children to those games, also. The entile sonth side of the gymnasium will be t eserved. If necessary the north side wil be reserved, also. The work of remodeling the interior of the gymnasium is progressing rapidly and probably will be completed by Wednesday evening. The seats at the east end have been torn out. the boskets moved a few feet to the east, providing charging space beneath each basket, and seats are being built each end of the floor at the sides of the baskets. New lines are being painted on the floor. The Junior Stand will be on hands ta provide music at the opening game and at each home game during the season.

RECEIVES BOOST r Army And Pitt Score Impressive Victories Over Notre Dame And Nebraska New York. Nov. It. (INS)—Eastern prestige, which is something one usually la cks first and examines af- '< i ward, if at all, came into its own with a rush in consequence of Saturday’s football returns, which showed ; the Army and Pittsburgh the winners in the two big intersectional games of the month and perhaps the season. Pitt won from Nebraska, representative team of the Missouri Valley conference, and the Army scored with surprising ease over Notre Dame, supposedly the greatest outfit in the middle wed, if not the entire country. As a result, Eastern football looks rather good through the central sections of the country this morning and it wouldn’t look so bad in the sonth either, provided Princeton beat Yale. But it seems that Princeton didn’t because it spent the last eight minutes in helping to beat itself. The T'ger was in front with eight minutes to play and. always a sap for the overhead game, it was taken in when Yale decided to try one of those 'hots in the dark (hat sometimes click. This one called for a pass from midfield on the fourth down wth 12 yards to gain. It produced the winning touchdown. However, you don’t give Yale a 100 per cent break unless you grant it due recognition for the fighting spark that could and did carry it through, after the loss of Caldwell and an early Princeton touchdown had made matters lock like thirty days on the ! rock pile. The defeats of Princeton and Notre I Dame reduced the lists of unbeaten teams by two, the others managing to stay with the pace for at least another wqpk, although a pair of them were tied. One of these was Tennessee. which got a 7 to 7 stand-off with Vanderbilt and something of a set back in its plans for the acquisition of the southern title- Georgia, also nt beaten and the only team to "take” Ya'e, came through as usual against Clemson, leaving the crackers with an average score of 31% points against >ll opponents except Ya’e. The latter crossed Georgia’s goal line for the only* time this season. Pittsburgh was another undefeated team to survive the day and W. and J., winner over Bucknell, was a third. New York University, getting a very meritorious 13 to 13 tie with Penn State, completes the ranks of unbeaten elevens in the East. Those of the middle west, Illinois and M nnesota, arch-rivals for the Big Ten title, win rather handily. The T'.lini almost clinched the title by beating Chicago while the Gophers •cored easily over Drake, using their second string through the last two periods. Out where thd West or the sun or "cmething begins, Southern California proceeded right ahead with its non-stop scoring, Colorado being the victim this time). The Trojans also are unbeaten and apparently have no idea of letting anything happen that might alter that situation. Os upsets there were, not many in number but they were cataclysmic in character. Who expected the Army to beat Notre Dame by three touchdowns? The silence seems to be absolutely deafening. All right, then, I who expected Santa Clara to outscore I Stanford? Not Glenn Warner, at any rate, for he took himself and his captain and best bet, McCreery, over to see Washington beat California and remain in the running with Stanford and U. S. C. for the coast conferen ?e championship. It may be assumed. therefore, that Stanford was too confident. z\s for Notre Dame, it was too flat footed to have a chance with an Army team that was fast, shifty, smart and altogether at the peak of its game. Rated now with Yale, Pitt and W. and J. as an eastern leader, the Army gave its passers, runners one the defense, it rushed into the and kickers splendid protection and, Notre Dame backfield to breqjk .up Its plays before they conld be developed. All of which is saying a lot for the Army and not enough about the character of the Notre Dame tackling. As far as their work in this department was concerned, the Irish simply were Chinamen on Saturday. E. W. Kampe left this morning for Dubuque, lowa where he will attend to business for a few days.

Heler and Holloway are playing at the forward positions this year and are making a good showing. They were substitutes last year.

Nov. 14 —Every ' Hoosier football fan who has a desire to see Indiana and Purdue in their traditional football battle here Saturday , afternoon inside Memorial Stadium wil have his chance. Ticket Manager.' L. L. Fisher today declared that there would be plenty of tickets available i even on the day of the game. , The demand for tickets is the heaviest in history. However, that yet i leaves several thousand to be dispos. ! ed of before Saturday. Tickets on the I straight away are available at this time and there will probably be many of these left Saturday morning when the stadium ticket offices open. Indiana's stadium will seat 22,000 with each giving a clear view of the . entire football field. The stands here | are closer to the field than in many i of the stadiums, thus a seat even on the cut ve gives the holder a close enough view to easily identify the players.

Fighting Irish Beat Haughton and Smith in Covering Punts By SOL METZGER SAFETY men. star open field runners who catch punts ami electrify the big crowds by I mining them back up the field, nometmies for touchdowns, might iust as well forget they have such ability when playing Notre Dam-. It s a ,’ fact that in this department of play tjie Fighting Irish take no chances.

Next f ine you g.> to a football game note how many players go down the field to tackle the receivei of a punt. Most teams send the two ends and the left tackle. A few send down the center, makjng four in all- Other teams send the two ends and guards. Yet in all these cases punts are sometimes returned. Watch Notre Dame punt. The ba'.l is kicked quickly ami high and when the opponents’’safety man gets ready to catch it you'll see waves of green clad players driving for the spot he stands. The first pair to reach him are the ends. They come in from either side. A few yards back of them are the tackles. They are just inside the ends- And the third wave is composed of three green clad boys, the two guards and center. Naturally the receiver gains no gfound Rockne has taken a page out of the nunting attack of the late B. D. Haughton and the late Andy Smith. Harvard’s line and California’s line always covered punts. In this way they gained an edge in yardage over opponents. But none got the line down so rapidly. Rockne merely delays his line a second or so, just enough to check the opposing line’s cha’ge- Then they are off. Notre Dame also has clever quarterbacks. They size up the defense. Next I’m going to tell how Ri'ey foxed the Navy for Notre Dame’s second touchdown of that battle this fall.
