WESTERN GRID HOPES TRAMPLE TEAMS OF EAST Notre Dame and Nebraska Defeat Army and Pittsburgh in Decisive Games. TIGER TILT FEATURES NEW YORK.* Nov. 7.—Pesky wttrn teams still insist upon tracking mud in and spoiling the nicest looking football floors in tlie East. Chicago started the fad several weks ago by ruthlessly breaking up a fas! lonable party at Princeton. . The biggest Jolt administered the East teas Saturday, when Notre Dame and Nebraska defeated the Army and Pittsburgh, two of the strongest teams in the East. The showing the Middle West has made this year in the gridiron sport was made more pronounced by the defeat of the University of Chicago by Ohio State The Chicago team the week before bea: Princeton. The previous representative sectional teams have met. Western teams hare invaded the East before, but this the first year that teams could be classed as representative of the West have clashed with the East. . Princeton's thrilling victory over Harvard in the dying moments of the game was another big feature of Eastern play. Otherwise things went according to form. Tale and Penn State now stand out as the strongest teams In the East, although Lafayette, Washington and Jefferson, Cornell and Geo'getown have yet to be defeated. Navy still bolds the only untouched goal "line. With a total of 337 points in six games, Cornell Is the greatest scoring outfit in the East. Penn State with 217 is next. Georgetown has scored 211 and Lafayette *O2. Mack Aldrich, the great Tale back and captain, leads the East In Individual ecoring. He has made nine touchdowns, sixteen goals from touchdowns and two field goals for a total of 7ft. Bill Robertson, tbe Dartmouth captain, is second with 67 and Kenyon, Georgetown, and Kaw, Cornell, have scored 00 each. Hansen. Cornell, has kicked thirty-one goals from touchdown Three field goals have been booted over by Stein, ashlngton and Jefferson. Buell of Harvard and Mallon of Williams.

Ferndales Defeat Riverside A, A. in Good Game, 33 to 3 The Ferndales were scored on yesterday afternoon for the first time this season when D'ck Weaver of the Riverside A. A. team made a placement kick from the forty-yard line for the only points the Riversides made in their nastily arranged game with the west eiders. Russell Clark, manaeer of the Hartford City eleven which was to meet the Ferndales. cancelled the carded game at 9 o’clock Saturday evening and the Riversides showed good sportsmarsh'.p by agreeing to fill the hole in the schedule. The final score was 33 to 3 In favor of Ferndale. but in spite of the one-sided count it ,was one of the best games seen this season on Ferndale field. _ „ Outweighed at least fifteen pounds to the man the Rivers'des put up a game fight and held the Ferndale second ■tring men scorelees for the first quarter. The first Ferndale count came in the second period when Bennett took tho ball over on a cross-buck from the tenyard line. Secrest failed to connect on the kick. A few minutes later Bennett again crossed the Riverside line for a touchdown and this time Secrest made good on the extra point. Then Dick Weaver got into the limelight with one of the prettiest placement kicks seen in local independent football In many a dav, booting the pigskin over the bar from the forty-yard line and for the first time this season chalking up a count against the Ferndales. In the third period neither team counted, but in tbe last qiftrter three Ferndale plavers raced over the Rivertide line. Rafferty took the pigskin over from the two-yard line and Secrest made good on the extra point. Then the fans were given a glimpse of Mosley the ace Manager Wertz has had up his sleeve. This buskv Eastern college star on a atralght line buck went ten yards through the Riverside line for a touchdown Hopkins missed the kick. Tbe last count for Ferndale came when after a march down field Athcy crossed the visitors* line from the one-yard line. Hopkins kicking goal. , Outweighed but not outplayed Is the story of the contest from the Riverside end of the game. The largest crowd of the season was out. several hundred Belmont rooters being present on “scout duty, for the Belmonts tangle with the Ferndales next Sunday In a sort of a “grudge" battle.

Manual Loses to Clinton; Cathedral Defeats St. Xavier Feeney's Team Shows Good Form in Victory Over Louisville Squad. Manual's State High School football championship aspirations want glimmering Saturday before the well-directed attack of the smaller Clinton team at Irwin field The final score was 21 to 0. The Clinton aggregation uncorked an assortment of irlck playsAhat completely baffled Manual, whllo Its light but aggressive line kept the Mannal attack in hand throughout. At the start of the game Manual appeared overconfident and the exhibition put up by the Red and White was the weakest effort tbs south side grind" ~s have put forth this season, Clinton's first score came in the third quarter on a fake place kick formation, and from that time on the Manual eleven was in complete rout. The winners counted again in the same quarter ty resorting to straight football. The last touchdown came in the fourth quarter on an Intercepted forward pass. Reichel starred for Manual, while Tork, Clinton's colored half back, was the outstanding player on the Clinton team. Cathedral won a well deserved victory from the strong St. Xavier eleven of Louisville, Saturday, at Washington Park, by a 13 to 0 score. Cathedral was much stronger than the close score would indicate, penalties and fumbles at crltI ical moments averting several Cathedral touchdowns. Play throughout the game was entirely in St. Xavier territory and on only one occasion did the visitors progress past their fifty-yard line. Cathedral scored in the third period when Jackson ran a punt back forty yards to the St. Xavier twenty-yard line, from where Riley scored on an end run. | The second touchdown came la the fourth quarter on a long march down the field ; as the result of end runs and short forward passes. Cavanaugh ar.d Brannon starred for the visitors, while the work of the whole Cathedral team was uniform. 1921 IS GREAT FOOTBALL YEAR Monster Crowds and Thrilling Struggles Mark Play So Far. By JACK YEIOCK. NEW TORK. Nov. 7—Three more weeks and the 1921 football season will be a thing of history. But what a season It has been! Fraught with upsets all along the line, filled with thrilling feats by individual stars and productive of some of the greatest struggles seen on the lime lines for many a year, this season burst the stamp of success. Monster crowds bigger by thousands than the ecrowds of former years In most Instances —have turned out to witness the real classics. Yet there are games still to be played that will lure still greater crowds to the side lines. Championships In the East. West snd South still remain undecided. There have been so many good elevens making sturdy bids for tbe honors that sectional titles cannot be settled for two weeks to come. The schedule this week will have an important bearing In this respect, espe- i dally In the East., Fresh from its victory over Harvard, the Princeton Tigers will swoop down on Yal© next Saturday at New Haven, bent on cleaning up the championship of the Big Three. Princeton has beaten Tale two years in succession, having won In 1918 and 1920. Once before, in 1898 and 1899, the Sons of Nassau won two straight games Tale has always been able to break up Princeton's success after two victories. Can she do it again? This Is the question that will be answered Saturday in Tale's great bowl. \ Navy has a tough assignment this week. The middies are scheduled to take on Penn State at Franklin field, Pbila- , delphia, while Penn is battling Dartmouth at the Polo Grounds. Navy and Penn State have not been beaten. They enjoy this distinction, along with Yale, Cornell and Lafayette In tbe East. But one of them very likely will go down to defeat this week and the victor will have something to crow about. Few teams of the year outrank the middies and Nittany Lious.

Headed by the 110-plece varsity band, close to 6.O<X) Ohioans invaded Ann Arbor to see their team wallop the Yostmen. About 5,000 Buckeyes watched the Ohio State-Chicago battle here last Saturday, of whom perhaps 4,000 followed the team from Ohio, the others flocking In from other points In the Middle West. Interest In tne gridiron game this fall has been unurfual all over the country, but the feats of the Ohioans In sending large bodies of rooters hundreds of miles to follow the eleven in foreign engagements has become the talk of the Big Ten.

NOTRE DAME, PURDUE'AND WABASH WIN SPLENDID GRID VICTORIES

Glory and humiliation, good football and bad, characterized the work of Hooaier college elsvens Saturday. With every Indiana team meeting an eleven from an outside State the results of the games showed the Hooslers successful in all but two Instances. Standing head and shoulders above the others on the glory pedestal Is Notrs Dame. The South Bend aggregation not only represented Indiana but the whole Middle West as well In an Invasion of the East that resulted In a 28 to 0 victory over the charging Army eleven. Unfolding an Intricate forward pass attack, bewildering In lte very audacity, that dHzed the cadets the Irish threw the ball around and over the Army defense for one of the greatest victories a Western school ever gained over the East. While the fleet Johnny Mohardt was throwing his puzzling passes into the waiting arms of Capt. Eddie Anderson and Klley; Shaw, Garvey and H. Anderson crushed the Army line attacks before they got .under way. While tbe sparkling offense of the Irish featured the game, the defense was none the less brilliant, and in every department of the game the superiority of Notre Dame was apparent. The Army made only two first downs. If there it any place In Indiana where Notre Dame’s aehlevemenet is not "the talk of the town," it is in Lafayette for the people up there are concerned with a celetration of their own, which overshadows everything else in the football world, namely. Purdue’s 3 to 0 victory over Northwestern, the first victory of the season for the Boilermakers, and the first Conference victory in a longer period thap that. MILLER BOOT)? VICTORY FOR PURDUE. After sweeping the Northwestern ends and shooting off tackle for long gains, after time carrying the ball to within scoring distance only to lose It again, Miller in tho third quarter practically ended the suspense by booting a field goal from the fifteen-yard line. The Purple made n great comeback in the last period, however, and when Wagner intercepted a Northwestern pass on his own ten-yard line with bnt two minutes to play, he stopped a drive that boded evil for the Boilermakers. The closeness of tho score does not give Purdue the big edge which it actually held over the defeated eleven. Purdue backs charged the line and circled the ends for a total of 250 yards and nineteen first downs. Northwestern gained little more than fifty yards and only one first down. Next Saturday the rejuvenated Purdue gridders tackle Ohio State at Columbus, one of the three undefeated Big Ten elevens. WABASH DEFEATS STRONG MILLIKINB. Wabash repelled an outslds Invader of no little merit, tho proteges of Pete Vaughn winning out over James Milltkin by a 14 to 3 count, before one of the largeet homecoming crowds that ever flocked to Crawfordsville. The fact that Mlillkin has held the championship of the "little nineteen" in Illinois for the past five vearg and is undefeated since 1917 gives some idea of the achievement of the Little GJants. Millikln started the scoring in the first quarter when Abrams drop-kicked from the twenty-flve-yard line. The Scarlet struck Its stride late in the same quarter, however, and shoved over the first touchdown. From that time on Wabash held the upper hand. The same style of play which bent Butler, namely line smashes and short passes, was employed to advantage against Mllilkin. BUTLER UPSET BY CHICAGO “Y" COLLEGE. The only real upset which characterized the work of Indiana elevens Saturday occurred when Butler fell before the well directed line attack of Chicago Y. M. C. A. College. The local athletes clearly showed that they had not recovered their poise since the Wabash disaster. Incidentally the same fault which characterized the work of the Blue and White in the Wabash game predominated Saturday. The attack of the local eleven lacked a punch in the critical moments. Time after time McClaflin, Griggs. Kiser and Middlesworth would carry the ball into scoring territory where it was lost on downs. In the center of the field the I’agemen looked good. They shot off tackle, arounds the ends and hurled passes in a manner that the Chicago team could not solve and then as soon as the ball was carried close to tbe goal line the Butler attack seemed to lose its power. Seven different timoß Butler had the ball within the ten-yard line and lacked the punch to carry It over. The Butler touchdown came as a result of a beautiful pass. Griggs to Middlesworth for forty-yards, followed by four line bucks. The Butler team showed marked improvement in the forward passing department both on defense and offense. The playing of Edgren, Chicago hal* back featured the gam-*, while McClaflin. W. Kiser, Griggs, Middlesworth and Hall shone for Butler. ILLINOIS DOWNS DE PAI’W ELEVEN. De Pauw presented a stubborn deferse against Illinois, holding Znppkc's eleven to a lone touchdown in three quarters. In the last jierlod, however, the Tiger defense loosened and the Illlnl shoved across two touchdowns. The final score was 21 to 0. The I)e Pauw offense was kept smothered by the Illinois forwards throughout* and at no time did Walker’s eleven really threaten the Illlnl goal. Their best effort was in the second quarter, when the line smashes, aided by pen. alties, brought the ball to the twentyyard line where it was lost on downs. Bloodgood attempted a drop kick from tbe thlrty-seven-yard line in the fourth quarter which failed. Earlhnm neither won nor lost Saturday, but made a mighty good showing by holding the strong Dayton University team to a 14-to-14 tie. The alertness of the Earlham players was responsible for a tie score, both Quaker touchdowns com-

lng as a result of Dayton fumbles. The game was thrilling from whistle to whistle with both teams presenting a strong game and varied attack. /line plays aud forward passes were responsible for the majority of Dayton’s gains. GRID NOTES. The name of Oliphajit has lasted a long time on the Purdue campus, but that redoubtable athlete will have to share Ms glory with Purdue's newest hero, one Mr Miller, whose place-kick gav the Boilermakers their first conference victory in many moons. Alvah Graham, Butler half back, who suffered a serious Internal injury in the Wabash game, viewed the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College game from an automobile on the sidelines. Butler sure missed the plucky litttle halfback Saturday. The Michigan Aggie-Butler game at Irwin field next Saturday should be a corker. The defeat Saturday should make Butler fighting mad for the battle, and It will take every bit of fight in the Blue and White camp to annex a victory. The Aggie line averages about 190 pounds from end to end In addition to an unusually heavy back field. A victory over the Aggies Saturday would be a big feather In the Butler headpiece. Just two more weeks for future allAmerican plqyers to perform as ordinary I'otbaU players. About one more season and Eastern teams will be traveling this direction in an effort to regain some lost laurels. Princeton with Lourie in the line-up was a different looking Tiger than that which lay down and purred in the earlier season games. The old time dash was there and the Crimson went back home with nothing more than scratches to show for its Invasion of the Tiger’s lair. Eastern sport critics before the Ne-braska-Pittsnurgh contest stated that the game would be a case of skill vs. beef. They are now shaking their collective head and admitting that the Cornhuskers had a little skill along with the beef. When avoirdupois and cleverness are combined in a grid team there is something doing as Pitt will tea tify. The great open play of the Irish com pletely dazzled the Cadets ut West Point. The Army seemed almost helpless before the passing of Mohardt. The Army was bigger than Notre Dame and also slower. Wabash showed Just how good it was when Millikln went down before tho Little Giants, 14 to 3. The victory was no little achievement as the Minikins have been cleaning up in their class in Illinois for the last five years. The Scarlet line looks better in each shicceeding game. There will be a hot time in at least two towns in tho East next Saturday, when Princeton meets Yale and Penn State tackles the Navy. On the early dope the battles look like a toss-up with the “breaks” of the gam© more than likely deciding til© winner. If Aubrey Devine Is as badly hurt as reports state. Ind'ana may have a better chance against the lowa team next Saturday. I. U. with a week of rest may be able to get its cripples together for the Hawkey© contest. The undefeated conference teams that are looking for easy sailing in the Purdue and Indiana games may be fooled. Ohio State meets tlie Boilermakers next Saturday an dfrom the manner lu which Dietz s men have been behaving lately the Ohioans will know that they have been In a battle.

LEONAHD-FREEDMAN, NOV. 23. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7—Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, and Sailor Freedman of Chicago will fight an eight-round no-decislon bout at the Ice Palace here on Nov. 22.

Gaines are desired with the best city and State teams. Address Jack Harbor, 2G South Illinois street.

Manual-Tech Game Looms on Horizon in City Contest Changes Predicted in Line-ups of Teams as Result of Recent Showing. Manual and Tech will clash Thursday at Irwin field, in the second game of the city high /school championship series. Since ShortrMge and Tech have already battled to a nothing-to-nothlng tie, the result of Thursday's game will bring the championship determination to an acute stage. Aside from the Importance -of this game, due to Its bearing on the city title, It should be a stubbornly contested grid battle, as at this stage of the season both elevens appear evenly matched. The record of Manna'- so far tms season is much more Impressive than Is Tech's, but the announcement that Nipper, star Tech half back, who has been out of the game all season with a broken hand, will be back In the line-up, has shoved Tech stock up on a par with the Red and White. Manual played Sheridan to a 0 to 0 tie after the same team had beaten Tech by a 20 to 0 count, but the poor exhibition which Manual displayed against Clinton has caused confidence to wane among the followers of -the south 6ide eleven. The coaches of the two schools will work their men hard this week in grooming them for Thursday's contest, and some radical changes may be made In 1 both line-ups in an endeavor to gat the utmost power out of the respective elevens. The addition of Nipper to the Tech line-up will .bring with it additional changes in the Green and White back field. Captain Hungate will undoubtedly be moved from tackle to full back from which position ha showed to such good advantage against Shortridgo. Nipper may play either quarter or half, but the composition of the rest of the hacktield is more or less in doubt. The Tech line Is also due to undergo some alterations, according to reports issuing from the Green and White camp. Just what steps the Manual mentor will take to Iron out the defects which come to light In the Clinton game is not known, but if the Red and White gridders fail to show more stuff In practice this week than they did against Clfhton, Manual followers are looking for a vastly changed line-up when the two local elevens square off for the kick-off.

BIG TEN TITLE CLAIM MAY BE GRAND MIX-UP Ohio State, lowa and Wisconsin Can Finish Season Undefeated. HAWKEYE CARD EASY CHICAGO. Nov. 7.—Th© Big Ten conference football race this year may finish all tangled tip like a fork of spaghetti. As the dope rune now, two teams at least, and possibly three seem likely to go through the season undefeated, giving each of the three a claim on the crown. Ohio State, which held the championship last year, ha* two games remaining —with Purdue next Saturday and Illinois on Nov. 19. The Buckeyes should win both these games. lowa meets Indiana next Saturday and should win. The Hawkeyes play North- . western In the closing game of the season 1 and should have it soft. Wisconsin also is to be reckoned with as a possible member of a triumvirate of uudeietrteU. elevens. Wisconsin, however, faces more formidable opponents. The Badger* must play Michigan next Saturday and close the season against the powerful Chicago outfit. Wisconsin owns one of the bast teams in the country, but it will have no snap with, either Michigan or Chicago. Neither lowa, Ohio or Wisconsin maets each other, so there is no way for them to settle the argument except by comparative scores and records—a most unsatisfactory way of adjusting a dispute. ! Ohio's claim will be strengthened by th© i fact that it held the title last year and was not defeated this year. It 1* too bad the title Is not twins or triplets, for It looks like two great team* and perhaps three will have a clgim on it.
