MANUAL AND TECH ELEVENS, EVENLY MATCHED, PROMISE THRILLER
SIE first intra-clty public high school football championship game will be played Friday afternoon at Irwin Field at 2:30 p. m.. between Manual and Technical. The city title probably will hinge on this contest, as Shortridge is not considered by local grid fans as being as strong as these two schools. Os course, that is not saying Shortridge has no chance. Remembering the upsets of the past it is foolish to consider any of the schools out of the running. But because of the season's record to date. Manual and Technical are considered about on an even basis and the class of the city. The next city game is between Shortridge and Manual on Nov. 16. and the final fracas is between Shortridge and Technical on Nov. 28. All of the games are to be played at Irwin Field. It Is pleasing to note that the Indianapolis schools are more than holding their own with State competition. Manual and Tech are probably two of the strongest high school teams in Indiana.

ZEV EXPECTED ON SCENE OF BIG RACE LATE TODAY My Own and In Memoriam Have Many Backers Match Will Decide Undisputed Champ of Three-Year-Olds. By FRANK H. GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent. LATOXIA RACE TRACK, Ky., Nov. I.—Zev, Harry P'. Sinclair’s crack 3-j-ear-old, is expected here late this afternoon, completing the picture that will come to life Saturday when the Kentucky hills will echo cheers for the winner of the Latonia championship—and somebody’s colt will be crowned undisputed champion of the American turf.
My Own, closely guarded in his stall i in barn 41, aaal In Memoriam, which will carry the hopes and cash of the 1 western turfmen, are on the ground, ready for battle. Rialto may come to j match his less vaunted speed agiinst j that of the champion, but interest still ; centers in the long anticipated meeting j between iev and Admiral Cary T. Grayson's brown colt. Fair Weather The weather man promises fair ekles for the big day; a track that was ankle derp in mud from the rai’ of early week is drying rapidly to a perfection that will lend no handicap to any of the starters. Sam Hildreth, trainer of Zev, and the horse's legion of backers would prefer a muddy track. The Sinclair horse is acknowledged master of his class when the going is stickiest. But It looks today as though the track, if not fast, will not tire My Own over the mile and six furlongs route. Indications today were that It would .be a rather open raZev, wi leb ■topped to pick up a few more thousands for Sinclair at Empire City Wednesday, probably will be the fa vorite on form. My Own’s backers are bound to be legion, however, for it seems that as a matter of sentiment alone a majority prefer the Grayson colt. The men from the West will back In Memoriam. Bob Gilmore, the trainer, declares his horse in finest fettle for Saturday's test. In Memoriam showed this by stepping three quarters of a mile Wednesday on a decidedly heavy track in i\ls. All Scent Victory There seldom has been such a championship—for which a purse of 150,000 has been added —in which owners, trainers and backers of three horses were as assertative of certain victory. „ A crowd expected to number between 40,000 and 50,000 will see the race. Bernard Baruch and Admiral Grayson are coming Friday night. Zev, of course, will be ridden by the inimitable Sande, while Mike Garner will be astride In Memoriam. Either C. Kummer or McLean is Ukely to ride My Own. BIG EASTERN ELEVENS TO CRASH AT HANOVER CoraeU Confident—Dartmouth to Dedicate New Athletic Stadium. p iy United Press r ITHACA. N. Y., Nov.

The Southern boy has a lame shoulj der due to some crowding in the j clinches of his recent fight with Steve j Choinski In Macon, Ga., wherein Steve , was stopped in round five.

EDDIE HEARHE IS LEADING DRIVER Has Big Margin Over Murphy .for Auto Race Title. By Times Spec In 1 . LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Nov. I—The official point standing of the automobile racing drivers to date finds Eddie Heame the leading contender for the 1923 national speodway title with a total of 1,622 points. Jimmy Murphy, 1822 champion, is second with 1,210 points. The following are the standings of the first ten drivers: Eddie Hearne, 1,622; Jimmy Mur- ■ Phy. 1,210: Harry Hartz, 820; Tommy -Milton. 810; Harlan Fengler, 670; Bennett Hill. 450; Jerry Wondenllch, 391; Earl P. Cooper, 310; Frank Elliott, 251; Dave Lewis, 234. Wonderiich's points are subject to corrections. Jimmy Murphy has a very slim chance of winning the championship. Even though he should annex first money at Beverly Hills Thanksgiving, Hearne will have to come in fourth or worse to be squeezed out of titular honors.

Many towns of Hoosier* dom took up football this fall for the first time. As the high schools develop stars colleges will benefit. Just before the battle here Friday there is a tendency to make Manual a slight favorite. Perhaps this is on account of last year’s upset in which Manual, considered the weaker team, defeated Tech, 12 to 0. Manual under Coach Swan-

It may be well here to discuss the necessity of a signal to notify the receiver of a forward pass and other members of the team of the direction he la to take. The thrower must know where to locate the receiver and the other men must know where to follow the hall and how to protect the thrower and also the play If the pass is intercepted. There are two good methods of attempting to complete the forward pass play; In the first, the signal designates the approximate distance and direction of the receiver. The hall Is thrown ahead and to tho outside of the receiver at a moment when the thrower thlrks the receiver can make a successful catch; In the second, the signal designates a limited zone toward which the receiver runs and in which he attempts to catch tho ball. The thrower fixes his attention on that zone and may actually throw before he sees the receiver. In the first method the ball is thrown to the man., in the second Into a zone.

FARRELL „ United Press Sports Editor NEW t ORR, Nov. I.—Jaek Renault, recent graduate of the sparring partner class of second raters, and Floyd Johnson, lately demoted from the advanced class for more schooling, will meet Friday night in Madison Square Garden.
Both are ambitious and both want to work up to a heavyweight championship bout with Jock Dempsey. One of them. If Tex Rickard’s qards go around, will get the chance if he is able to play his hand. Rickard wants a couple of big heavyweight fights for the new arena he plans to build next summer on Long Island and Rickard knows he will have to “build up his card.” The Renauit-Johnson bout Is the first of the “build up” series planned to develop an American Firpo as the logical contender. Harry Wills, Tommy Gibbons, Firpo, Renault and Johnson are the material from which Rickard must find the opponent for Dempsey.

Manual is almost equally good. Jegen of Tech is coming along fine. He is anew player this year. Cecil will start at the other flank for Manual. He is a brother of C&rl Cecil, who Is at Butler now. Babcock and Riffey probably will start at the tackles for Tech with Malone and Littlejohn opposing them. Komblum and Hicks are the Green and White guards. They will have their hands full with Mussman and Kellemeyer. Hank Gordon for Tech and L. Hutton of Manual will fight It out in the center of the line. The officials at the contest will be Ralph Davis, referee; Winter, umpire, and Hinkle, head linesman. Great preparations have been made for the struggle. Technical and Manual have chartered spedi.tl cars to take the students to the battle. The bands of both school* will parade the field before the start of hostilities. One of the biggest crowds that ever witnessed a high school game here is expected. The admission la 50 cents. Chairs have been placed on .he sidelines. These choice seats will be available at 50 cents extra.
Gibbons does not seem to be concerned over another fight with Dempsey as he Is spending his time on the stage when he might be building up ft demand for a return engagement. Firpo also seems to have sidetracked the ring as his most important business, but Rickard does not have to bother much about the South American champion. Firpo is material for another Dempsey fight without much steam. Blair May Be Out By United Pri as NEW HAVEN, Nov.
