WORLD'S SERIES MAE BE DELAYED By Frank Getty (IT. I’ Spoita Editor) Now Yo;k, Sept. 28 The posßlbility of a postponement o’ the World Serbs scheduled to start next Thursday, arose today when it became apparent that there was censidernhle char.te of the National League pennant race ending in a tie between the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals. The New York Yankees are safelv in line for their third successive American League championship, and cannot be beaten unless they lose all theii remaining games, and the Philadelphia Athletics win three straight. In the National League, the Cardinals lead by one game and have three more to play, the last with the Giants themselves at the Polo Grounds on Sunday. All the reserved seats f r this final game have been sold and a tecord crowd for the ball park by Coogan's bluff is anticipated. The Giants have two more games to play with the Chicago Cubs Itefore they meet the Cardinals, who are playing the B ston Braves today and tomorrow. if the Giants do as well against the Cubs as the Red Birds do at Boston, the leaders will meet on Sunday with St. Louis still leading by a single game. And if the Giants win that Sunday game, the standing will be tied. Under the rules, they would engage in a "Thtee Games” series to decide the Championship. The National League directors would decide the conditions for such a series, but it seems certain that the winner would not be required to enter the World Series immediately thereafter If the Giants lose or gain a game today or tomorrow. The possibility of a tie following Sunday's battle will be removed. But if the Giants gain two games in the next two dayt, the Cardinals could tie things up by winning at the Polo Grounds. From any angle, the likelihood of a ' tie presents itself, but the men who! make baseball their business are los ' ing little sleep. The chances are that the attendance at the play-off serie;, it held in New York would tival thai at the Wo; Id Series itself. The Giants figure to beat the Cubs | today and tomorrow, the Cards to de-1 feat the Braves two straight. Which should make Sunday's ball game one i of the Classics of baseball history cucli ! as has not been seen since 1908 when . New York and Chicago had to play an : extra game to decide the champion- i ship. o ****** ** *****[ * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * £**«« *«¥¥¥¥¥« -:u.kJim Bottomley (323) failed to hit in two times at bat but scored two runs.

Fakes Run — Passes For Win For W. & .1. *•'- MV. - I / | i 5. T G G fl/- - . E F C z rxx By SOL METZGER Three plays that start exactly alike, yet develop into amazingly different ones, was one reason why Lafayette held the top in football a few years : back. Today let us take up the I I scheme I.afayette used to defeat W. I & J., the two preceding plays describ ■ led yesterday paving the way for this ! one. I.afayette knew- that the W. & J. ’ half back, shown in the circle of the accompanying diagram, always came up fast to make sure of breaking up its reverse 01 its reverse that turned i into a lateral pass, so McCracken add ed a play to take care of him No. 2 took the ball and broke to his right, slipping it to No. 4. who started to his left on a reverse tun. Up ran the defensive back to throw him for a loss. No. 3. in the meantime, bluffed boxing the opposing right tackle, but slid by him st.aight down the field i and then out. passing the defensive half before lie could recover. No. 4 ■ then parsed to No. 3, who was free ’for a score. McCracken will present a slightly different formation of backs from that shown here in the opening game with I Albright tomorrow: No. 2 will play [four yards back of guard No. 5; No. | I 1 will play eight yards back of his I center. This gives him more powe r | on the strong side and a better chance ! I to hide the ball on certain trick plays , | and bucks. Tomorrow — A Penn pass for its opening game.

COLLEGE TEAMS TO BEGIN ACTION By Dixon Stewart. i'P Staff Correspondent Chicago. Sept. 28 U.R, Opening football games of the 192 S football ! season, in the middlewest, are scheduled for Saturday. Few Important tilts are carded, a majority of the leading teams throughout the distiict continuing practice for another week before swinging into action. Notre Dame heads the squads which refuse to wait for baseball to clear the stage. Rockne's "Fighting Irish'" are scheduled to play Loyola, of New Orleans at Notre Dame. The southerners are leported to have a powerful aggregation and have been at work for the past month “pointing" for tills conlest. Rockne’s squad has been practicing for only two weeks and the coach is far from satisfied with results. With Notre Dame not yet in stride and the southerners out to establish a reputation by trimming the famous western school possibilities are that this will be a much more interesting battle than the usual early I season practice tilt. Only two western conference teams : are listed among those which are ! "rushing the season,” Indiana being I billed to take on the “Little Giants" I troni Wabash and Chicago having I scheduled a double header with South Carolina and Ripon. Coach Stagg declared today that no attempt to divide his squad into "A" and “B” teams would be made this week and it is possible that a number of the players may see action in both contests. In future double headers the varsity will play the first game and an individual reserve squad will be used for the other contest. Indiana is also to have two teams this season!. The first team will play Wabash and the second eleven will < sash with State Normal. Wabash is. traditionally, no mean foe. but the Hoosiers figure they need not exert themselves unduly. Kansas Aggies will be the only “Big Six” conference team in action this week. The Aggies tackle Bethany col- | lege in what is regarded as a highI powered practice contest. Washington U is the first Missouri Valley conference team to open its I season, playing Westminster at St. , Louis tomorrow. The Fourth Down By Willie Punt i At the pep session yesterday, Joe Krick, senior, was elected president of i the high athletic association. ; Carl Geiber, junior, was named vice- ;! president. Principal Walter Krick will again serve as treasurer. > James Engaler was re-elected yell yeader yesterday, also, following tryouts held during the pep session. Evi- ; lyn Kelly was chosen first assistant i and Dick Engle was named -second as- ) sistant. ) i Harry "Berry” Yaney, D. H. S. I grad and former Yellow Jacket, gave L an inspiring talk at the pep session, 1 encouraging members cf the teain and the pupils. He urged them to give their best in the Huntington game and the others of the schedule. The Yellow Jackets and Huntington Vikings, time-honored enemies on the gridiron, were scheduled to clash on the Country Club field this afternoon. Pre-game dope favored the Vikings to win. but nrft without a hard fight. A rousing pep sesison was held by tlie D. H. S. pupils and teachers at the high school building last night. The pep displayed gave indication that the pupils were still behind the team, despite the defeats suffered in I the first two games of the season. 9 Several Indiana college teams swing into action this week-end. Their s schedule is as follows: Wabash at 3 Indiana; State Normal vs. I U. second I team at Bloomington; Igjyola at , Notre Dame; Indiana Central at , Franklin; Manchester at Rose Poly; e Concordia at Muncie Normal; Hanr ove. at Cincinnati, Central Nortmal i at Vincennes, and Antioch at Earlham. « The weather today was ideal for t

But Did You Ever Buy 4 Them for a Nickel? Most every smoker knows that the secret of true, sweet, mellowmild flavor in a cigar is fully ripened tobacco. The top leaves of the tobacco plant are under-ripe at harvest — they are usually better. The bottom leaves are over-ripe—-usually “flat.’’ The choice fullyripe middle leaves are generally sorted out and used only in the higher priced cigars. But here, gentlemen, is a fiverenter made of ripe tobacco from heart to wrapper: Havana Ribbon. Ripe tobacco!—One nickel!—Perfect smoking!—Money saving! . . . Isn’t that just about the most sensational cigar news that’s come your | way in many a day? Grab a nickel; light out to the nearest cigar counter; light up a Havana Ribbon; and light into the neatest nickel smoke that’s ever touched your lips. : Also sold in Practical Pocket Packayes of five cigars. t-
