HUGE CROWD TO SEE GRID GAME More Than 100.000 To See Notre Dame - Southern California Game Saturday By Clark B. Kelsey (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Chicago. Nov. 22- (UPl—The Notre Dame-Southern California football game will be played here Saturday before the third largest group of spectators which ever gathered to seO a sporting event. While many midwestern and eastern teams have journeyed t;> the Pacific coast to play the Western leaders. | Southern California is the first of the I Western contender s to reverse the pro : cess. The west coast teams have a narrow margin of victories in the inter-j sectional contests. A snow' field and icy breezes, apnar-l' ently were in store unusual condi-1 tions fcr the visitors from a semi-tro-pical climate, however, the team from th" warmer country probably will have an easier time than Eastern teams have playing under hot California sun in past years. Mote than 100.000 persons will jam into Soldiers Field here to see the teams play Saturday. This crowd will rank next to the attendance at the Dempsey-Tnnney fight and the ArmyNavy game of 1920, both held in the same Giant horseshoe. The Trojans are eager to aveng the 13 to 12 defeat handed them by the Rockne Ramblers last year at Los Angeles. (’apt. Morley Drury will be th"i Coast's chief offensive weapon against the Irish. Don “Bean'’ Williams, star back, will not play because of an injured back sustained in the Washington state game. Christy Flanagan and Johnson. ‘ Butch” Niemiec will carry the burden of Notre Dame’s hopes. 0 Fort Wayne Hoosiers To Open Season Tonight Fort Wayne. Ind..

Stanford To Represent West In East-West Game Stanford, Cal.. (Nov. 22. —(INS) The Warner-coached Stanford Cardinals will represent the west in the annual Fast-West game at Pasadena on Jan. 2, it was announced here today following (he ac.eptanee of the bo:,rd of athletic control to the invitation of the Rose tournament committee. ■ The eastern team to play Stanford will be. in a'l probability, the undefeated Pittsburgh eleven, it was stated. Coach Warner ia now enroute east, wh re he will watch Pittsburgh in action against Penn State. Before coming to Stanford, Warner coached at that university. o— — . — Hdgomsl By MARK M. UPP «■■■■«■■ J Tile spring-like br> ezes blowing to-. day would almost make a person be-| lieve that tournament time is here. . Indications are that scores of fans will follow the Yellow Jackets to Auburn tomorrow night to see these two eld rivals clash. Last year, Decatur and Auburn divided their two game series. Decatur winning the game at Auburn by a count of 21 to 19. and Auburn triumphing here by a score of 27 to 24. BLUFFTON'S VARSITY "RED." LIKE THE VARSITY "BLACK." TURNED OUT TO BE BLUE IN ITS FIRST GAME. THE "REDS" LOST , THEIR FIRST GAME TO ROLL.! SATURDAY NIGHT, 3G-15. The Commodores are hard at work n preparation for their game with Shelbyville Catholic h)-re Sat.uf-tkiy night. Owing to the cancellation of the game with Huntington Catholic' here, scheduled for Wednesday night.' the Commodores will have a nine-day | 'ay-off between the Hartford and; Shelbyville games. Huntington Catholic high decided not to put a team in the field this season. There seems to be a growing tendency among high schools and colleges to discard the custom of electing a captain for the various athletic teams. Coach Curtis instituted the plan of appointing a captain of the Decatur high school basketball team for each game last year and is following the same system this year. Coach Case does the same thing at Frankfort and many other high school coaches do likewise. There was no duly elected captain of the Indiana University football team this fall, for the first time in history. Now comes the announcement, that Ohio State University has decided to do away with the election of captains for all athletic teams. Pretty soon the title. ‘‘Captain of the Team,’’ will he nothing more than fiction, but we like the new system. “Bernie” Womhoff. successor of the elongated "Art” Womhoff on the i Commodores’ basketball squad, will I be eligible to play in the game with Shelbyvil'e here Saturday night, we liavo been advised. "Bernie” was kept out of the first two games of 'he season, owing to difficulties with the contents of his books, but he probab'y will Ire jumping center Saturday night. Dean DorWn and Bob Strickler, tw>> former Decatur high school basketball captains, are slated to play with the Bluffton Merchants tonight in their game with the Kirkland Whippets, in the Kirkland gym. We omitted th° game with Columbia City, st Columbia City un February 17 from the list of conference games on the Yellow Jackets’ schedule, which we printed in this co'umn yesterday. This makes a total of ten conference games which will be counted in the conference standing, five on the home court and five away. The game between Monmouth and Monroe in the D. H. S. gym Friday night ought to be an interesting contest, The two teams appear to be pretty evenly matched. It looks like the Geneva Cardinals would suffer another defeat Friday night, when they meet the Hartford Gorillas at Berne, unless Coach Reeves is able to rejuvenate his players. The Cardinals have considerable abi.ity in their lineup and they may get going. H ednesday night square tiince. 1 hursday, coon chase; Social Dance at night. Plentv of Turkey at Sun Set.

Three Yale Plavers Placed On All-Eastern College Foothall Team New York. Nov. 22.-(UP)-In a consensus gathered by the I uited Press from eastern sport writers, Yale University is entitled to three men on the mythical all-eastern football team. The writers placed two Army nu n in their selections and I’, tin, Holy Cross. Dartmouth, New York University. Washington and J< fferson and Pitt each received one. Nearly all of the sports writers who contributed- chose to leave oft' the name of Bruce Caldwell, of Yale, who. until his inelig'bility, was considered the outstanding halfback of (he cast.
