BADGERS FACE OLD-TIME JINX Chicago, Nov. 21. —(U.R) —Wisconsin, now the leader in the 1928 Rig Ten championship race. will carry a heavy handicap in Saturday's game with Minnesota. iNot only will the Badgers be meeting one of the strongest teams in the conference, but they must overcome two jinxes which have stopped all other title aspirants: 1. Tile Badgers will enter the game as the favorite over their opponent. 2. The Badgers will meet an opponent which has been especially • k|eyed" for the game, whereas Wisconsin was forced to “key" last week against lowa. Ordinarily the first factor would not be especially important but refolds show that the favorite in almost every important game this season has not won. Their upsets can be attributed partly to overconfidence —a condition which undoubtedly will not prevail at the Wisconsin camp. The second handicap cannot be guarded against. Such masters of the art as Knute Rockne and Rob Zuppke declare a team can be "keyed” to its highest pitch not more than twice in a season, and that a “keyed" team generally is below standard the following week. A recent example is furnished by the Notre Dame team, which was "pointed” for the Army game and, according to Rockne. “played better football than they knew how to play" only to give one of their poorest performances a week later against Carnegie. In the Big Ten conference, where the teams are so nearly equal, the psychological influence plays an important part in victories. This season a number of “keyed" teams showed unexpected strength to turn in sur-, prise victories, but in almost every! case the winner has been unable to 1 win its next game. Minnesota which keyed for lowa and lost to North-1 western a week later, Ohio which j pointed for Princeton and then was : defeated by lowa and the Hawkeves. i who were brought to their highest! pitch against Ohio and defeated the! following Saturday by Wisconsin, are I noteable examples. That Wisconsin was on edge for . last week's game with lowa is admin-j ed. Minnesota, meanwhile, had an! easy romp with Haskell and has not keen keyeil since the lowa clash,! Oct. 27. I>r. <". W. Spears, a master of "keying," will have his Gopher squad at its peak against Wisconsin and this influence may decide not only the victor Saturday but the final disposition of the Big Ten crown. Glenn Thistlethwaite, Wisconsin coach, knows how to get the most cut of h:s football squad. It is possible that he may he able to bring his team 1 ack to its maximum efficiency ugamst Minnesota. The Badger players are young and physically fit and with the incentive of winning Wisconsin’s first championship since 1912 may not suffer the reaction which lias penalized other teams. Regardless of the decree to which ihey are keyed, t lie Badgers have a powerful team and Saturday's game promises to be one of the season’s classics. o School Board Treasurer Assigns Property Notes Muncie, Ind., Nov. 21—UR)—George H. Haym nd, former treasurer of the Muncie school hoard, and now serving a 2 to 14 years sentence for embezzlement of $140,000 has made a voluntary asslgnment for the benefit of creditors. Contained in the assignment were three residence property notes totalling $20,809 of which $10,980 were incumbered; bonds stocks and all personal preperlies. Haymond’s holdings in the Excel manufacturing company, of which he was an oficer, were among the assets hut their value was not listed. In adit lon, all mortgages and other forms of sencrities for the payment o! noios !;c’il by Haymond were made as part oi' his listed assets. Haymond was alleged to have embezzled the money from Valour funds to which he had excess. Calls Meeting Os State Budget Board Indianapolis, Nov. 21—(U.RY— Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts has issued a call for a meeting of the state budget committee today. It was considered likely that the first meeting the committee will complete an organization to start Its work, which must be finished before the close of the next legislature. Orr said that the committee will visit the various state institutions for the coming two fiscal years.

('agio Will Worry Warner’s Eleven i, \ : 5 < ; s* ) When Pop Warner brings his Stanford stalwarts to the Polo Grounds this I Saturday a week he will find the Army playing a far better bland of football , than was piaeticed in the East when . he left Pitt a few years hack. This Aimy team is a corker and is great In I its open attack. One of the plays the wily old mentor ftom the Coast will have to watch out for this magnificent pass. Cagle I is in the No. 4 hack position, about 4; j yards from the line. Before tlie hall is 'snapped he backs up some three or I I four yards and then gets the pass from i center. He’s off like a shot, just as he is on his cut-in run or end tun, tearing like*| mad to the right. His interference! breaks out and down field Both guards; are therefore brought out to protect; Cagle. The latter plays the pass mar-! vellously. He looks to the right as he runs to the right. Then lie stops and whips the hall diagonnally back and down field to Messengei. his right end, No. 5 in the diagram. This play gained a touchdown against Harvard and is one calculated to fox any team not on the alert. Tomorrow. — one of Ohi State’s passes primed for Illinois.

HARVARD-VALE GAME SATURDAY New York. Nov. 21. — (U.R) —There will be better and more important football games played next Saturday, but Harvard and Yale are meeting on the gridiron, backed by a wealth ol tradition that will not be denied. The future jobs of the coaches of the rival elevens may depend upon the outcome of the battle in Yale bowl, for already the alumni of Har-1 yard are yelling for the hide of Arnie j Hoween and Ihe graduates of Yale j are out for the scalp of Mai Stevens, i It was once customary for the second guessors to await the climatic game of the season before demanding ‘hat a coach be removed, but football has advanced financially to a place where constant success is all-import-ant. Harvard and Yale, each has a season fraught with disappointment. Not can lack of material be claimed as the cause of failure. It is many seasons since Harvard has had a line with a power and aggressiveness of its 192 S team. Yale has plenty of great backs, and aside from a weakness in the wing positions boasts a line which should be able to hold its own against the best in the country. When the whistle shrills through tlie bowl at New Haven next Satur- ' day, touching off the thump of the ! kick-off and the first shock of Crims- j on jersies against 'blue, all these con-1 siderations will he forgotten. , Since 1875, Yale and Harvard have j been engaged in football rivalry. Ghosts of heroes of other decades will move swiftly across the gridiron in the wake of the ball. Many a youngster who is driven face down iutothe muddy turf will sense the j comforting presence of the great ones of the past at his side. The Hinkeys and Shevlins and Heffelfingers of Eli fame will be in- 1 spiring the boys in blue, while a | thrust against the Crimson line will be harder to make because of the memories of Tack Hardwick and Ham j Fish in the minds of these Harvard players of 1928.
