Close students of both, teams predicted 1 that the game would bring out a lot of kicking Just What Style of football either team would eventually turn to was a puzzle. Princeton, with plenty of talent for open ' field running and handling the pass and a keen generalship, was expected to mix up the attack, according to Harvard ■ i defensive methods. The Crimson, with a new trend toward kicking and passing but an Inborn respect for steam roller football and a belief in its effectiveness, figured to combine the two.

More Light on Mr. Shank’s 1 Record What the Indianapolis News Said of Mr. Shank An Editorial From the News of N*v. 1 , 1911 / Indianapolis News, November 1, 1911, in commenting on a speech made by Lew Shank at Board of Trade banquet (in which he deplored the lack of support he and other municipal officials had received from business interests and the “best element”) said, among other things: “It was one of the most enjoyable, keen cutting and best speeches delivered in Indianapolis for some time. The Mayor is right, the people have made light of him, when they should have been giving him support. It is greatly to his credit, that without this support that he should have had, he has come through without the label of the ‘grafter* on him, and that he has made a good record, as he has made in many things, notably his handling of the market problem.” Republican City Committee (ADVERTISEMENT)

sity at Richmond today in what should, turn out to be a good game. 1 Butler was to meet Chicago Y. M. C. A, College at Irwin field In what promised to be a real, treat for local grid fans; The line-up of the Pagemen was badlyf crippled and optimism was not any too plentiful on the campus, but the Bull- 1 dogs were prepared for a great battle. The Chicago team fell before Butler last) -year by a 9-to-4 count and they were here today with the determined intention of erasing this defeat, while the Butlecj players were out to repeat last year’s performance. De Pauw and Notre Dame w£re the) other Hoosier elevens in action today; both going out of the State for important games on their respective schedules. De Dauw was to oppose the skidding Illinois team today in a game which was regarded by Illinois supporters as a tice affair for the Chicago game, but by] De Pauw backers as a great opportunity for De Pauw to show something. Notrel Dame’s clash with the Army, of course, needs no introduction, as this gamq is heralded as the greatest intersectional, clash of the day. The available dope on the relative strength of the two teams showed the Hoosiers conceded an even chance to win by Eastern critics. Jt should be a terrific battle from the start. If French plays, the Army_ has the edge. If he does not, then Notre ijurne *s the slight favorite. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, Marlon, 21; Garrett, 0. Richmond, 25; Decatur, 6.
