SimniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniM TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

EHE climax came today in Mid-West football. The Big: Ten title was to be decided, although Northwestern may put In a claim should Michigan win; and “Red” Grange was to tell just what he is going to do. An expectant public awaits the developments of the finai punch in the grid show before the curtain falls. In this State Indiana dedicated its stadium in a contest with Purdue, the football rival that may spoil the home-coming. And then after the one big day the concrete structure will stand silently through the winter and summer, a monument to sport, but cold and lifeless, waiting for another season. Today for most teams in the Mid-West—the King is dead. Long live the King. ** • u or - o 1 ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o*‘ a Our qnuit for ft long shot on Friday was reworded even better than we dared hope. And It was a Ally that drove down In front. After being turned down twice by the ladles. Cross Village came to our rescue and we don’t think she’s cross, at all. but has a sweet disposition. In the fourth race at Islington Cross Village, a fast trick. got out in front and stayed there until the end. The $2 mutuel tickets paid $50.80 to win, SIB.OO to place and #8 00 to show—that's all. We had $lO across on the Ally. Garr and Mnssllon were scratched. Jupiter was third. Gaberdine, Sweep Park and Rc-onance were out of the money. We ..hould worry. At Bowie Hot Dos was second at odds of SO.BO to place and $5.80 to show for a $2 mutuel ticket. Prince Hamlet and Handrae were also rans. The bank roll today is $1,244.20. Two features hold the turf fans’ attention today at Lexington and Bowie tracks. A great field of 2-year-olds goes to the post at the Kentucky course in the Breeders’ Futurity while in Maryland the G. D. Bryan Memorial Handicap brings out many of the best handicap horses. It looks like BUBBLING OVER at Islington and SARAZEN at Bowie. Twenty-Ave dollars across the board goes on each and the same amount in a parlay, combining the two. Maybe SISTER JOS ELLA will make up for what she did to us the other day and we’ll put $lO w-in. nlare and show on'that mare in the third at Lexington. ROBERT MAXWELL, a winner at Fairmount, is tlie surprise looked for in the fourth and will be played $lO across. We’re right back on .MASSILLON In the sixth with a $5 across the board MIDWESTERN Is due in the last and gets a $lO win, place and show lnveetm<At‘ Bowie ETHEREAL in the second and LIEUTENANT II in the third will be combined in a $lO across the'board parlay. KAXDCIT and .MAXIMAL will be played the same way in the tlft-h and sixth. We got plenty of money so why not take a chance. * * * mF the Michigan line does not stop Minnesota this afternoon there is yet another ominous undercurrent which may throw the Gophers for a loss. The Swedes have been penalized repeatedly this season for off-side play and being in motion. The shift play used by Minnesota has proved marvelously effective, but on numerous occasions the officials have handed out yardage to the opponents when the Gopher backs were ruled in motion before the ball was snapped. In that great exhibition of power against lowa last week, Minnesota was penalized perhaps a dozen times for being in motion on their shift attack- It is something for those fans to think about who picked the northern club to win. - * * * Chalk up another victory for Florida. That, amazing State has won again, apparently, and will have the thrill of seeing Red Grange swing his elusive hips away from would-be tacklers.

O, great Sun, we thank thee. Thou hast heard our plea And given the earth of Thy Radiant Beams on this Football Saturday. We have almost forgotten thy Negligence in the past. *• • , mT just occurs to us while looking at the high school basketball scores that we would hate to play on the Seconds. It’s the name, “Seconds,” that grates on the sensibilities. Asa suggestion, why not call them "Re-* serves.” Seconds are factory damaged goods, not up to standard. There is a subtle meaning attached to the word which does not fit those hard working youngsters who, many times are Varsity players in the making. They are not Seconds, but the real goods in the nhaking. Seconds are seconds always. They never improve. • • * GRANGE’S MAIL According to press reports “Red” is swamped with mail from mash notes to reqpests from churches for his picture. Here are some illustrations: "I know you are bashful, so I feel as though I should tel’ you I am only 13,” says a little girl writing from an Ohio town. Many of the letters come from youngsters wjho have chosen “Red” as the subject of school essays. “I sure am proud of you, ‘Red,’ " writes a little boy in New Jersey. ‘l* used to live in Illinois once.” A Michigan church committee wrote for one of “Red’s” pictures, explaining it was to be sold at a church auction and ought to bring S2OO. Varsity football letters have been denied athletes in the past who turned professional, even though their college careers were over. But what’s another letter In the life of Red Grange? It is said that young gentleman gets someone hundred letters daily since his sensational rise to fame. ■ • * • James McGill, former president of the Indianapolis A. A. baseball club, will race his pntire string of horses at Tia Juana track this winter. In his stable are Flaggstaff, Hourmore, Dominique, Splc and Span, Ruban Rouge and others. Jockey E. Barnes will ride in the stake engagements.

COLLEGE FINALE FOR SUPERMAN OF GRIDIRON Thousands Present at Columbus to See Grange in Last Game —May Divulge Plans Tonight. By H. W. Sharpe United Press Staff Correspond', nt OHIO STADIUM. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 21.—Red Orange was to say good-by to the intercollegiate gridiron this afternoon when he piloted his University of Illinois mates against Ohio State. The starting gun was to find Red in his old place in the back field, a place that will be filled by another moleskin warrior

next fall. All the ingredients of ideal football weather —brilliant sunshine, crisp autumn air and a fast, dry field—were on tap for the opening whistle. Bob Zupke, Illinois mentor, announced his team was in good shape, but was not over-confident. Dr. Wilce, the Buckeye tutor, announced he would send in the same crippled line that has received praise for Its tenacious defense. Eyes of Nation Regardless whether Grange becomes a professional football player or sells Florida real estate, this intercollegiate star holds the eyes of the nation. When Grange hears the final gun and scurries for the dressing room, one of the most stupendous ovations ever bestowed upon a man, was expected to be accorded him, whether or • not he “got away” or was cut down by the fighting Buckeyes. While unusually indisputable sources were relating under oath that Red had signed a contract with C. C. Pyle, Champaign (111.) theater
