WABASH LEAVES FOR MILWAUKEE Little Giants Mean to Give Powerful Marquette Plenty of Opposition. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind . Nov. 23. Tlie Wabash College grid squad departed for Milwaukee today for the big clash Thursday with the powerful Marquette University eleven. With the* cxceptlou of Meese, end, the Little Giants are in good shape and hopeful of upsetting the dope, which Is Qivorlng Marquette. Jho fact that the Milwaukee outlit Is one of the heaviest in the West and that it held Notre Dame to a 21-to-7 score, probably accounts for Coach Ryan’s team being the choice for victory by a number of the big city grid critics. However, followers of Wabash believe the men of Vaughan are capable of giving Marquette a terrific argument lu the Turkey day struggle, although the majority of Scarlet shpporters are well satisfied with the record the team has established to date, especially with that 22-to-0 beating handed De Pauw last Saturday. In Hoosier State games Wabash trimmed Purdue, Butler, Rose Poly and De Pauw, an achievement that has boosted Wabash stock far above par lu grid circles of Indiana. Following the Marquette game the Scarlet squad will disband and a number of the players _wlll turn out for basketball, after enjoying a well-deserved rest for a short time. Purdue Adds Four Net Games to Season Card LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 23.—The Purdue basket-ball schedule has been increased four games, it was announced yesterday by Athletic Director Kellogg.

An Innovation will be introduced In the net schedule by scheduling a game when the students are at home during the Christmas holidays. Colgate will be played at Lafayette on Jan. 2 while the students are enjoying the holiday season. This was done because many of tho townspeople have complatned that they never got to see a game because there was room only for the students. The fourth added game on tlie basket card will be a return contest with Wabash which will be played at Lafayette on March 1. Indianapolis Team Rests for Fray With Belmonts Manager Canning of the Indianapolis 1920 city champions expects to have no alibis after next Sunday's game with the Belmonts if his eleven goes down to defeat, as he will hold- two blackboard drills this week, tonight and Frl day evening He requests all players to be on hand at 419 Indiana avenue at 7:30 o’clock.

CENTRAL FOLLOWS KIRKLIN BOYS WITH CHALLENGE TO EMERSON

By UKZK CLARK. John 0, Chewuing, principal of the Central High School or Evansville, has telegraphed a challenge to the Emerson High School of Gary for a football game to be played ut Bosso field, Evansville, Saturday, Dec. b. This Information was received from Evansville today, but what action will be taken by the manager of the undefeated Emerson High School team Is unknown. Central's challenge to Emerson coming closely on the challenge Issued by Kirklln High School grid team to both Emerson and Central High Schools, yesterday, increases the Interest In the prep school football championship situation. OPINIONS OF COACHES VARY. A series of letters sent the Dally Times by various football coaches of the high school teams contain much Interesting Information. In these letters some of the coaches give their opinions as to their personal rating of the high school elevens In the State. It t only natural that these coaches do not agree on which Is the best team. Some coaches are strong for KlrkUa and declare that Kirklln has the best team: The Sheridan High School coach declares that Cathedral High School of Indianapolis is first, Central High School of Evansville second and Kirklln High School third. Then he gives a lengthy explanation why Cathedral, ill bis opinion, is Letter than Central of Evansville or Kirklln, both of which teams defeated Sheridan, w.jlle Sheridan won from Cathedral. Ralph M. Krlebel, coach of Kentland High School, whose team met both Kirklin and Emerson High School teams, expresses the opinion that Emerson Is the best in the State.

Tho little city of Klrklln has created quite a slir ii high school football etr cles of the State this fall by tho great hung up by Its football team. Tho Klrklin eleven has kept Its slate unmarred after many stiff skirmishes aud it has expressed a desire to meet tho Emerson High School team of Gary to settle the prep football supremacy of the State. Klrklin and Emerson are the leading tenuis of the State apparently, for each has gone through without suffering defeat. Kirklln’s most notable victory was over the powerful Sheridan eleven. The town of Kirklin may be short on population, but it certainly is long on football talent. It has turned out many stars for the college ranks in the past and it evidently means to continue. Ail tho boys In the high school are enthusiastic about football and this spirit is a great help to the coach. This year's squad is long on numbers and the second string players always filled the bill when they were called in to fill the regulars’ shoes. In a game of State wide attention Staged at Frankfort last Saturday the Kirklin youths decisively defeated the Lognnsport eleven, 34 to 0. If it is possible to arrange a game, grid funs of the State would like nothing better than to see Kirklin and Emcrsun get together.

I’m for you Manual, you taught me a few things I didn’t know. Your a good school, and I like you. but, your rival today had a bit of punch and it was sure going to be a pretty good battle for both of you. And say team, I hoped you wouldn’t dare to pull that nothing to nothing stuff on us again. IVuch up a little for a touchdown, ell ? Bet you dollars to doughnuts there wasn’t a nickie’s worth of Work being done in either school today. Everybody’s mind was occupied by the little phrase “We’ll win, by golly, we’ll win.” Bear Stories Come Out of Richmond Grid Camp RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 23.—The Enrlham team may face Franklin tomorrow without the services of Bookout, star end, and Beasley, center, who are not in the best of shape.
