Y„ Nov. 2ln preparation for the Notre Daine contest Sere next Saturday ‘Army’s varsity was sent a stiff work-out iu the mod and rain Tuesday. The scrubs, armed with unfamiliar formations said to the I3oosier style of offensive, drove tony yards to the two-yard line before the varsity men could check the advance. It is almost a certainty that neither Breldster nor DavUVaOn, guard and tackle, respectively, will be able to face Notre Dame. Army's line will be weakened considerably by their absence. French, it ■was announced Tuesday, will not get in any more games until the Navy is met in New York, the latter part of this month.

EOWUN6 The Atlas Coal finally dropped a game In Beam's No. 1 league when Kreis Transfer five nosed out the hitherto unbeaten team by five pins in the second game.

The Link-Belts set the pace With the best team score for the three game’ of 2.868 and the high single game team score of 940 W. Piez of the Links was the best Individual bowler of the night, with games of 182. 223 and 200 for a total of 605 pins. Pieh of the Leo .T. Mayer five is to get the cut glass bowling ball for his scores of 87, 112 aud 94. Numerous good scores were posted, the highest of which was McCagahan's 239 In his last effort for Armour A Cos. Moore of the Bell Telephones rolled 226 after he had warmed up In the first two encounters The Bells grabbed three from the Citizens Gas outfit. LaFayette Motors and the Postoffice team counted 760 each in the first whack at the maples, but the boys of Uncle Sam won the roll-off, 81 to 57. This riled the LaFayette crew, who took the next games In the regulation number of frames. All but one team in the Banker's League showed no mercy and foreclosed on all three games. Continental National, Indiana National and Washington Bank aud Trust were the villains and National City, South Side Stat- agid Commercial National were the victims. Moore and Fackler ran a close race among the bankers for Individual honors of the evening. Thpy tied Farrell for the high game, all three getting one count of 209. For the best three-game total Moore had 559 pins while Fackler scored 588. -Competition was close in the Bemis Bag circuit.

The demonstration of football strategy and strict drill in fundamental!* of the game shown by the Little Giants in earlyseasou games, has formed the basis determination among local followers of the team that Wabash wjll give Millikin a great scrap, possibly administering the first defeat that the Illinois team has suffered in tL'ee consecutive seasons. The fact that Millikin toyed with Augustana for a 28-to-U victory two weeks ago. while the Scarlet had to play good football to defeat ybe same team 7 to 0 earlier in the season, although not a conclusive criterion, shows the offensive power of the team that will perform here Saturday. MILLIKIN SURE TO BE IN SHAPE DECATUR. lU., Nov. 2—Millikin meets the hardest foe it has been called upon to face in many years next Saturday ofternoon when the great Blue and White team clashes with the Wabash College eleven in Crawfordsville.

Wann is driving his players every afternoon In preparation for the game with Wabash and the Wanninen will be in great nondition. to give the CriKvfordsvillo eleven a real struggle.

Auto Spiil Costly to Waveland High Eleven WAVEBAND, Ind .
