Trojans’ Coach Has Bad Dream; Awakens As . His Team Is Losing Game | Chicago, Nov. 26- (INS) -Coach Howard Jones of the Trojans said today that he is not superstitious; yet al- [ most in the same breath he admitted that lie “didn’t like" a dream lie had cn the train from California. The night before his squad pulled into t liicago, Jones said, he dreamed t the Trojans were losing to Notre t Dame. Fortunately h* was awakened . at ihe end of the first half, and he Is I , hoping that maybe in the last half the t Californians turned the tables. | , The score at the half was 32 to 20,1 > according to Jones' dream. He said the , medical handler of the Trojans had . put in the second team after the kick-, . off. He tried to reach the dressing] , room to talk to his stars, but was held back by thousands of dancing girls. q MONROEVILLE BEATS C.E.46-23 I Decatur Team Weakens In Closing Minutes Os Game 1 And Is Swamped • , The Decatur General Electric hasi ketba’.l team cracked in the last ten minutes of their game with the Monroeville team, at Monroeville last ' night, and wore swamped by a show-1 er pf field goals.

Joe Bebout, who used to do quite a bit of footballing and basketballing for D. H. S., and who is continuing his athletic endeavors at Butler University, paid us a visit this morning. Joe received his freshman numeral in football at Butler this week and he's mighty proud of it. He played tackle and end during the season. He was at an end position when the freshman team defeated the Butler varsity the other day. Joe will try out for the freshman basketball team, also. Monroe high school pupils and basketball fans were celebrating a 30 to 21 victory over Monmouth today. Coach Everhart's Monroe team is improving and are destined to win some more ball games before the season ends. BUCKNER. IN THE BLUFFTON BANNER. SAYS: "THE BLUFFTON TIGERS SHOWED UP MUCH BETTER IN THEIR ROCKCREEK CLASH, BOTH THE RED AND BLACK TEAMS WINNING.:’ YEA, MAYBE THEY WON'T HAVE TO RENAME 'EM THE BLACK AND BLUE TEAMS AFTER ALL. This scrap between the Commodores and Shelbyville Catholic high in the Commodores’ gym here tonight promises to bo an interesting contest. Anyway, the Commodores have an old score to settle. We might say that Mark is in high spirits as a result of the showing his Yellow Jackets made in their opening game against Kirkland. Kirkland has a good team this year and the victory shows that Decatur is preparing to give the basketball aspirations of someone a setback. Well, we’re not wishin’ 'e many bad luck only when they meet Wells county teams and may the matter of supremacy of 1928 be decided at the cow barn!—Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. The Hartford Gorillas picked on the fluttering Geneva Cardinals last night and picked a few more feathers from the red birds. The Cardinals have played some good games this fall, but just can't seem to outscore their opponents. The Decatur high school boys swamped the Mclntosh high school boys by near y doubling the score, the count standing Decatur 44 and Auburn 24 at the final signal. The Auburn boys put up a poor exhibition against the fast playing, rangy Decatur five. With the exception of two brilliant plays by the locals when Davidson made a beautiful shot from center and Manon, dribbling the length of the floor passed to Davidson who sunk the ball through the west basket, Auburn’s playing was disappointing to the fans.— Auburn Star. Portland has organized a semi-pto basketball team again this fall. The nlavers listed on the roster include: Paul White, ex-DePauw star; Ray Scott, ex Franklin star and now coach at Monroeville; Murray Mendenhall and Mark Bills, former De Pau w stars; and Ralph Oren, a Portland product. The Phi Delta Kappa fraternity is backing the team.

IRISH ARE DOPED TO BEAT TROJANS Notre Dame Enters Game With Southern California Without Niemiec Chicago, Nov. 26. — (UP) — The i Irish of Notre Dame, not an undefeated football team but recognized jas one of the best in the country, enter the year’s most important intersectional game against the University of Southern California today, sorely handicapped. I Johnny Niemiec, the one and only consistent kicker of Knute Rockne’s numerous elevens will be unable to play, the .Notre Dame coach informed the United Press this morning, and just that margin of difference may sway tlie balance in favor of the Trojans from the far west. Coad’ Howard Jones has brought a strong and undefeated team to ■ Chicago for the contest, and some 1 111.000 lucky holders of tickets looked forward to one of the greatest games of the season on Soldier Field. | Despite the prestige of the westlerners, the far-famed ability of Capfain “Dreary” Drury of the Trojans | and the general excellence of the weighty southern California line, the Irish had ruled favorites at odds varying from 6 to 5 to 9 to 5. Then came the definite announcei ment that Niemiec. who all season has played a somewhat secondary role to the mighty Christy Fanagan, but who is rated by critics as the equal if net tlie superior of the young man from Texas, would be unable to Play. Without a reliable kicker, in a season where the trend of gridiron play has revolved so closely around an advantage in this department Notre Dame views with little optimism the prospjet of the day’s encounter. The Trojans, playing in the middle west for the first time, have survived the long train trip in splendid fashion Climatic conditions promise to be mild, with none of the severe, stormy weather which Howard Jones' men might reasonably have counted upon. — u—o i W L Pct.

ODDS AGAINST . NAVY ELEVEN Polo Grounds Far Too | Small To Wcomodate ' LXOiitl sVt **..»•,* *N <4 « j (lUliiL By Henry L. Farrell UP Staff Correspondent New York, Nov. 26. —With everyon? whispering In their ears that they didn’t have a chance, with professional money being offered that they I weren't good enough by three touchdowns to win, a poor little Navy eleven had to be thrown in against a powerful Army eleven here today in the annual Inter-service classic and the ornamental finale of the eastern football season. The Navy, so it might seem, had to go into the game against all those tiemendous odds because playing the At my is a part of military program and routine and because some 50,000 persons, including high hats from Washington and the service somehow had been aide to get tickets. The ticket office of the New York Giants, owners of the Polo grounds where the cadets and the midshipmen are to do or die for dear old Army and dear old Navy estimated that they could have sold 700,000 seats and that is a large order. Ticket speculators, also, gave their word that they could have sold a few good seats around the fifty-yard line and as for proof they were asking seventy-five and one' hundred dollars for a few locations near a general's box. The Polo grounds, it is assured, will be packed to its limit of 50,000 and the list of ticket holders includes practically all of the notables from the military, professional and social elect of New York, Washington, Philadelphia and nearby cities. The Army was a five tot three favorite in the betting and some were offering even money that the cadets could win by two touchdowns. The Army bets did look good when they were placed on a backfield including Harry Wilson, Cagle and Murrell and a line with two great ends and an alleastern tackle. MONROE DEFEAIS MONMOUTH, 30-21 Winners Pull Away To Comfortable Lead In Closing Minutes Os Game The Monroe tiigh school basketball team, after losing its first two games of the season, showed considerable improvement last night and defeated the Xonmouth high school quintet, in a game played in the Decatur high school gymnasium, by a score of 30 to 21. The game was close most of the way and the score was tied twice. At the end of the half, Monroe led, 10-9. It was in the closing minutes of the game that ?x f onroe pulled away to a safe lead. Johnson, Monmouth guard, li ft the game in the second half with four pi "sonal fouls charged against him. Huffman starred for Monroe, getting seven field goals.

But . n look at these boys from (he In ml of i the movies lends one to hope that t Knute Rockne’s Irish will have a .

Instead we find Southern ■ California lepresented by a team of ' magnifk ent proportions and exceedingly vet sat lie young men. First .of course, there is Captain ’ Motley Drury, ballcarrier, passer and punter extraordinury. The Trojan system is to give Hie ball to Drury to do what he thinks best and to flatten all opposition in the meantime so that 1 "Dreary” may not be overtaxed in his exertions. Some of the others who will do their stuff at Soldier Field tomorrow are: Jesse Hibbs 190 pound tackle anil just ab tit tlie best on the Pacific Coast; Nathan Barrager formerly a backfield star, made over by Jones into a red-hot center; Chal ies Boren, regular end, who has

I been handicapped by injuries most of | the season, but a dashing wing man for all that; Don Williams, who subs for Captain Drury at quarterback so efficiently that as far as the eye can perceive., there Is no I :ss of power in the Tro--jun attack; Lloyd Thomas. 185-imund half-back: Thomas* job Is chiefly to pave the wav' for Drury or Williams, who are carrying th>- ball titiii •! ithern California’s "one man’’ system; Russ Saunders, half-back who help* Thomas nt the paving job; Hershel Bonham, a rather light fullback, to whom the ball Is given when the Trojans want five yards real badly. These youngsters and a handful of others make up a football team which looks to me to be mote powerful thaif any the Irish have met this season. This does not mean that thes' are like.* ly to beat Notre Dame as the Army, did. Because comparative scores mean nothing whatever. But I do think they, could heat the Army. • The question of climatic conditions may enter into tomorrow's fray, for no one knows what an icy winter's d.i>* may do to the condition of the boys from Southern California. Coach Howard Jones says, however, that he doesn’t care how cold it gets just so it doesn’t snow or sleet. "If the sky’s clear with a brisk breeze blowing we’ll be all right," said Jones. “But a blizzard would be q handicap.
