LOCAL SCHOOLS BATTLE TODAY Tech and Manual Meet in Intracity Football Series. Technical and Manual were to battle this afternoon at Irwin field at 2:20 o’clock in the second game of the city high school football series. The teams were given an even chance for victory just before the start of the contest. Although Manual has been crippled to some extent, it was thought that the tack field combination of Stewart at quarter, Meyers, Painter and Kail would give a goocV account of Itself. Summers may play, although he is bothered with a bad ankle. The line will consist of the same players that have gone through the season. The Red and White went through a light work-out yesterday in preparation for the big scrap today. The Tech team is on edge for the battle. With Nipper at quarter and Captain Hungate at full the team looks about as formidable as it has at any time this season. Coach Burgees contented himself yesterday with “skull” practice, as the Tech field was very muddy. The probable Tech line-up as anounced last night is as follows: Woolgar, left end; Baden, left tackle; Garretion, left guard; Zollner, center; Mullhoiland, right guard; Wilson? right tackle; Hay, right end; Nipper, quarter; Gieger, left half; Graham, right half; Hungate, full. The officials for the game are: Heze Clark (Indiana), referee; Pat Page (Chicago), umpire; Jack McKay (Westminster), head linesman. The rooters of both institutions are full of enthusiasm and the chilly weather has failed to cool their ardor in the ■lightest degree. Red and white and green and white ribbons were very noticeable early today on the streets as students*of both schools were on their way to classes. Many a mind was far from studies this morning as the high school followers looked at books and heard above the instructor’s voice the Teferee’a whistle and the thud of the football. Irwin field was to be filled with the spirit of youth this afternoon and young grid stars were to give their best In au effort to win for their school. From all Indications the noise will be as terrific as the conflict between the teams. SHORTRIDGE MEETS BLOOMFIELD HIGH While Tech and Manual have been worrying about each other Coach Julius at Shortridge has had bis own little worries. Bloomfield High School is the opponent of the Blue and White tomorrow .at Bloomfield. As that team has not lost a game this year, the north side aggrefation will be forced to show some footail to bring home the bacon. Scrimmage has been the daily program at Shortridge and signal . drill has been another item on the Julius bill of fare. In an effort to find someone who can use his toe all of the players have been given a chance at drop kicking. So far Captain Kilgore has shown the best educated toe. Moore, anew man, is giving the regular tackles a hot time in an effort to land a job, and Cohen and Hoatson are staging a merry little battle for right guard. The Shortridge team will watch the Manual-Tech game today.

Around the Big Ten

lOWA. lOWA CITY. lowa, Nov. 10.—Iowa fans went wild .witn Joy last night when Aubrey Devine donned bis uniform again and broke Into the first really ren hot practice of the week. The line stopped all Indiana offensive plays and Dev*ue, on the offense, showed scarcely a sign that he had been badly hurt only five days before. He passed beautifully to Kadesky and Belding. OHIO STATE. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 10.—The plans of Coach Wilce to send the Ohio State football men through a stiff work-out yesterday afternoon in preparation for the game with Purdue next Saturday Were knocked in the head by the weather man. An all afternoon rain put the Ohio field in such condition that work on it was almost out of the question. Consequently Dr. Wilce took his charges to the covered coliseum at the State fairground. where a long practice drill was held. From present indications, Ohio State will enter next Saturday's game in great shape. WISCONSIN. MADISON, Wis., Nov. 10.—Despite a storm, the Badgers went through a heavy scrimmage against the Ail-American opponents yesterday. It was the last scrimmage. The back field line-up still is a Michigan game, today’s schedule be.ng limited to signal drill and dummy scrimmage. The backfieid line-up st.ll is a mailer of doubt at the (jua.ter and left half positions. Either \\ diiams or Gibson may start at quarter, leaving Gould, Woods or Wliiams for the half. The team is in excellent condition, no member of the squad suffering frum injuries. The ticket sale for Saturday has been heavy and a crowd as large or larger than witnessed Wisconsin's home-coming game is expected. ILLINOIS. URBANA, 111., Nov. 10.—Fearful of injuring his only hopes for the battle with Chicago, Coaen Zujipke carefully nursed Captain Walquist, Crangle, Peden, Woodward, and the other cripples last night. The rest of the squad was engaged cbiefiy in learning how to break up the dreaded Maroon pass and running attack. Most of the practice was of a defensive m tare because it is impossible to work o t off* nse with the back field unable to sct'mmage. Zuppke worked Kaiser Esslinger, and Taber as backs last night. Joe oteruamau played quarter back and wll’. pilot the luinl against the Maroons, as Walquist plays half back. "Outfight em” is the Illinois slogan as the vanguard of alumni home-comers pours iu. CHICAGO. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—With only two more days of practice before meeting Illinois at Urbans, Coach Stagg is working to revive the drcoping morale of his once confident Maroon football team. Figured a cinch over the downstate team a week ago, .the Midway now is fearing a second defeat, and will be satisfied with most any kind of a victory. There are bound to be one or two changes in the Chicago line-up due to Injuries. While Lewis, left guard, was again In a suit last night, there is only a slim hope that he will be able to take his place in the line-up. Either Proudfoot or Miller will be thrown into that half is another position not definitely filled, and there is still hope that Bryan will be able to return to service. IQNNBSOTA, MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 10.—Scrimmage was in order yesterday afternoon between the regulars and the freshmen. The first-year men used Michigan plays throughout and managed to make considerable headway. Two of the Minnesota regulars, Brown and Martineau, were not in uniform. Because of the hard condition of the field scrimmage was restricted to forty-five minutes. After the regular work-out on the field there was a short signal drill in the armory. Trig Johnson, regular tackle, is being carefully groomed for the Michigan contest, bis last college game. NO RT H WESTERN'. EVANSTON. lU.. Nov. 10—Northwestern’s football squad resumed setive E radio* yesterday afternoon for the nal game of the season with lowa, at Evanston, Nov. 10.

A short work-out will be held on the Ohio State field tomorrow afternoon. Y’esterday Coach Dietz shifted his lineup around a bit so that his best substitutes would be abl-i to get into the game at any time in a familiar place. The team worked out with Ransdall in at guard for Geiger, Keple for Meeker at full and Webber for Kerr at end. The remainder of the line-up contained Miller at end, Claypool and Capt.

For a number of years j this yearly setto on the football field has been the meet Interest-arousing sport I event west of White river and this season finds the cream of the city’s pig- i skin artists in the line-ups of the two i teams, giving to the game the importance ; of a city championship affair. , Last year's tncounUr went to the I Ferndales, 21 to 0, but reports from the j Belmont camp indicate that a surprise is in store for the Femdale crew, which has been defeating all out-of-town elevens played this season. An interesting sea- j ture of the game is the fact that two a i the best football players on the West Side I are members of the same family—the . Hopkins brothers—-and this year's battle ! will. find them lined up in opposing camps. Joe Hopkins will be at right end for the Belmonts, while John Hopkins will be in the same position in the Ferndale squad. Weather conditions prevented outdoor work last night and after blackboard drills and other “skull practice” the managers and coaches had to be satisfied. K.

HOOSIER TEAMS PLAY OUTSIDERS Franklin and Earlham Stage Home-Coming Grid Games Tomorrow. Home-coming crowds will be assembled at both Franklin and Earlham tomorrow to see their favorites repel the attacks of. out-of-the-State elevens With Earlham set to oppose Muskingum University and Franklin ready to battle Transylvania, the two Hoosier elevens are confronted with a couple of the toughest propositions on their respective schedules and hundreds of oldtimers who will return to their alma mnters are assured a real treat in the gridiron sport. Muskingum holds a win over the strong Dayton eleven which Earlham held to a tie last week and this is taken as an Indication that the Quakers will have to hold a mighty good hand to emerge the victor. Not much dope is available regarding the relative strength of Franklin and Transylvania via the comparative score route but the invaders are known to have a strong club that will make the Hoosiers hustle to keep the pace. • Coaches Mowe and Nelp of Earlham and Franklin respectively, have worked their men hard this week in preparation for the big games tomorrow and have their proteges in tip top shape and ready to give a good account of themselves. The grne tomorrow will be the last home contest on the Franklin schedule.

East Seems to Be Rather Poor Loser When Notre Dame defeated the Army at West Point last 8 tit or day, 28 ty 0, MaJ. Charley Daly wanted to change officials between halves, because they did not penalize the westerners on almost every play when they bed the bull, Ix-oanse of the Irish shift play. The Army coach went so far as to come out on the field to protest. Asa result of the heated arguments between Notre Dame aud West Point players and Major Daly's attack upon the western eleven’s style, the lntersecUonnl contests between the Hoosiers and Cadets will be discontinued, according to Coach Rookne. ’•Every year we have played at West Point we have been accused -of everything.’’ Rockne said— “We have been heavily penalized, but in face of this handicap we have won each year. West Point player* have been guilty of rough play, tackling out of bounds, and in other ways have not play ed as clean football as my men. There Is no truth in the rumor we are dropping West Point to play Harvard.”

Nov. 10 Wabash footballers will wind up tbeir practice here -omorrow afternoon in preparation for their last home gam* of the season, scheduled with Rose Poly, at 2 o'clock, on Ingalls field, Saturday afternoon. With the exception of Burns and Johnson, out with injuries for the remainder of the season, the Scar’et outfit is in good condition. Although Little Giant backers are looking for a victory over the Terre Haute eleven, they are well aware of the fact that Rose has been improving in the past few weeks and will -come here ready to give their all against Vaughan s team. Just recently the Jerre Haute crew defeated the Roiia School of .Mines, the that fell before Jatncß Millikin by a 7 to 0 score. Coach Vaughan is expected to use all of his regulars in the contest Saturday, but at present does not count on "opening up” if he can get along without doing so. He is shooting quite a few new plays at his varsity aud is counting on using them against De I’auw in the annual clash at Indianapolis on Nov. 19. Pete, who is not in the hahit of shirting "hear stories” himself, does unt pit’, much faith into those circulating uround now. He is figuring on meeting a strong Tiger eleven on Nov. 19.

New Organization to Furnish Sport Equipment to Kids All-Star Service League to Raise Funds by Various Exhibitions. t . * Ollie Chill, American League umpire, formerly of Indianapolis, blew Into the city yesterday and does not look as though the strenuous duties of a world series had changed him a bit. The little urapu came to town to see his mother, who lives here, and to attend to some business. Ollie now resides in Cleveland, but is traveling about the country in the interests of the All-Star Service League. And therein lies a story. The Service League is a newly-formed organization that has as its object the furtherance of Bport among the youngsters of the United States. The kids are always the ones to reach rtnd education in the line of sports is as necessary ns the learning of readin’, ’ritln’ and Tithmetic. Get the kids interested, is the big idea—and the best way to do it seems to be by furnishing sports equipment. This is the main object of the league that is now starting its plans for the future. AU-itara from all branches of sports and the moving picture luminaries will be lined up to give exhibitions that will raise funfis for the kids For example, if diamond stars from the American and National Leagues were to play a game of baseball in this city under the auspices of the Service League the proceeds wo.uld be given over to a local committee to purchase paraphernalia for the embryo wizards of sportdom that live here. Such a game was held in Cleveland last summer and the youngster* of ths city swunned to the game. It is the only game that has been held as yet, but plans are being completed to hold boxing shows this winter and baseball gumeß next summer to raise funds for equipment for young America. The picture industry is to be brought into the movement also. AU of the participants of the various shows wUI give their service* free and the receipts will be turned over to responsible local committees which will disburse the funds where the most good can be done. Judge J. B. Bowen of Detroit, was the originator of the idea and he Is at present the head of the league. President Maine* of the Michigan-Ontario League, and Preaident Sexton of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, which is the official title of the full organization of the minor leaguea, and Ollie Chill, repreaen’ing the American aud National leagues are the leaders of the movement Chill -la on his way to a meeting in Chicago now where business of the new enterprise will be talked over with * Judge Landis. The famous judge will eventually be the head of the All-Star Service League A meeting of importance will be held in Buffalo during the gathering of the minor leagues there on Dec’ C, 7 and 8. .At this time an all-star boxing show will be staged In Buffalo, the receipts of which will got to the kids of Buffalo to buy winter sport equipment.

Latest Thing ?n Unions as Downtrodden Boxers Get Organization Bug

NEW YORK, Nor. 10.—Poor downtrodden boxer* who can make only from $5.00 to $50,000 an hour when they are working, and poor abused managers who can only make about half that when their boys are at it, have resolved to organize something like a union to protect their interests. The boxers' protective association, which Is to include fighters, managers, seconds, rubbers, towel swingers and ; their friends, will b built off a pattern j to be fashioned by a committee consisting I of Jack Curley. Dan McKettrick, Dan Morgan, Eddie Mead. Jim Buckley, Charley Harvey. Joe Woodman, Harry Lenney, Jack Britton, Benny Leonard, Willie Lewi*. Billy Wellim, Billy (Hbson. George England and F rank Bagiev. The outline of the proposed union Is to form a governing body to uplift boxing and place it on a spotless plane : through a supervising association tike the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- ' tion or the A. A. U. Tex Rickard may chuckle over the new j union, especially if the closed shop Is I incorporated in the by-laws. The State j boxing commission also may get a kick j out of the layman effort to clean up box--1 ing, one of the duties imposed upon the eommlH! ion by the State. The comtnls--5 slon really started the proposed new ruling body when it ruled that managers could not have contracts calling for I more than one-third of their boys’ earnings. The commission also insinuated | that managers were not an asset to boxers. Local Golfer Qualifies FINEHURST, N. C Nov. 10—John D. Chapman of Greenwich won the qualifying medal in the annual autumn tournament at Plnchurst yesterday with a round of eighty-one, played In a brisk rain. W. L.

Aggies, With Host of Rooters, Coming to Battle Butler Strong Michiganders to Oppose Pagemen on Grid Saturday. A soggy field hampered the Butler College football team today In Its last strenuous work-out before the Michigan Aggie game Saturday. Tomorrow a light signal drill will taper t|ie eleven off for one of the biggest games of Page's schedule. Severe bruises and minor injuries suffered in the Chicago “Y” game have bothered some of the players all week, but by Saturday these are expected to have been eradicated and with the exception of Graham, who is out for the remainder of the season, Page should be able to throw his strongest possible line-up against the powerful invaders. The Aggie eleven will arrive tomorrow in time for a work-out on Irwin field. The Claypool Hotel will be Aggie Centre Plays California DANVILLE, Ky., Nov. 10.—Centre’s football eleven, which defeated Harvard, 6 to 0, will 'make the trip to Pasadena to play the University of California on New Year’s day. Coach Charley Moran announced last night. headquarters. The team will be quartered there, as will also the large number of students who are accompanying the team and a host of alumni of the Michigan team In theso parts who have announced their intention of witnessing the contest. So large a number of Aggie rooters will be on hand that au entire section has been reserved for them on the west side of Irwin field. The university band will accompany the team. Thu Aggies are coached by Bannon of Penn State, aud Indianapolis fans will te given their first glimpse this season of the Eastern style of play which is the long suit of the Bannon coached machine. Bos, captain of the team, is a veteran player, this being his senior year at the Aggie school, and he Is regarded as one of the best tackles in that part of the country. Johnson, end, is another star player who will have to be watched closely by Butler. Johnson is unusually large for an end, but is very fast and considered a great wingman. He has charge of the kicking department in addition to his other duties. Graves, the 190-pound colored fall back, is the big noise In the Michigan attack. Ills line rushes, in which department Butler has shown to bo weak this year, may cause trouble for the forward wall’ of the Pagemeu. In theso three star* Coach Bannon has players of more than 6rdlnary ability, and it will be up to Butler tc keep them well In view throughout the contest. The’most recent and most impressive victory of the Aggies was last Saturday’s win over the University of South Dakota by a 14 to 0 count. On Thanksgiving day they will play Notre Dame. The Aggies have been scouted in recent performances by Butler workers and the local team haa been carefully drilled against their style of play. Not disheartened by two snceeaslve defeats the Butler students followers, believe that the team Is going better now i than at any previous tli te and they will be solidly behind it Saturday and con fldent of victory in the face of apparent odd*. A big student pep meeting Friday will prime the rooters for their sideline duties at the game. Lavan to Play ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 10.—John La van, shortstop with the local Nationals, who last year announced he would retire from baseball after the 1921 aearen, yesterday stated he had reconsidered the matter and would play with the Cardinals next season.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Johnny Buff, fighting Jersey midget, will defend the world's bantam weight championship toj night against Jack Sharkey. The bout will be Buff’s first in dej sense of the title he won from Herman I several weeks ago. It is scheduled to go i fifteen rounds to a decision and the little j old man of the ring will have plenty of i opportunity to show whether he is a j worthy champion.

Crimson Team Off on Long Jaunt to Battle Hawkeyes BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 10— Indiana left today for lowa City where the Crimson meets lowa, Saturday. The team is in bad shape despite the week’s layoff.

Ross and Hanny are in no shape to play hard games of football on account of injuries. Because of yesterday's rain the final work-out was held on the gym floor.

DECISION SOON IN RUTH’S CASE Judge Landis Gives Athletes Reasonable Time to Frame Defense. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Before passing sentence in the case of organized basebands. Ruth, Meusel and Pierey, Baseball Commissioner Judge K. M. Land** will let the defense speak its little pie’s** Leslie O’Connor, secretary to the cobm missioner, announced yesterday that questionnaires bar been mailed to tha three athletes who defined baseball’s rules and regulations by playing exhibition games after participating in a world series. Just what questions the commissioner asked the* recalcitrant athletes is not known, and O’Connor offered no information in this connection. It was hinted! however, that, among other things, the judge asked what influenced the athletes Ruth Answers Judge BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 10.—Babe Rutli said today that he bad filled ont the questionnaire sent him by Commissioner Landis and that it wa® now in the mails and should reach Chicago tomorrow morning. to disregard the rules after Landis himself had advised them to go home and forget baseball for the winter. It may be that the judge has a suspicion that the athletes were misled by baseball magnates, who didn't favor the restriction. It is the intention of Landis to give the athletes a reasonable time to frame their defense. If they fail to come across sentence will be passed. The fact that Ruth was the ringleader of the barnstorming expedition and that his reply will be here today may mean S decision before the week-end. There still is much speculation as to what Landis will do, but it is a good bet that he will assess the offenders a few dollars —possibly their full shares of the series pot.
