see by the headlines that YIW thei'e were a number of * * upsets Saturday on the college gridirons. Now, just what is an upset? It means that a •‘favorite” is defeated. Just what is a favorite? One team is held to have 'the advantage over its opponent because of past records. The football writers broadcast their opinions and choose one team as having the best chance to win. That selected team becomes the favorite. Sometimes the wrong team is made the favorite, but that doesn’t make any difference. It the “favorite” loses it is an upset. A football team does not remain the game from week to week. There are changes in the line up and changes in morale. These things are not always known. And, besides, there are the breaks of the game. There is always a reason for each rfpset. Every team has a chance in every game, provided the schools are of anywhere near equal strength and enrollment. One must learn not to be, surprised at anything during thq/ grid season. The upsets happen <every year and will continue as long as eleven good men oppose another eleven good men on the white chalked field of battle. * * * “Navy Bill” Ingram is vindicated. The Annapolis coach took an Indiana University team to Michigan hist year and Was defeated, 6:? to ft. This year, as coach of the Middies, he defeated the Wolverines, Ift to ft. Bill got “in bad” at I. U. with some of the alumni by not praising tlie material at Ins disposal. In fact lie said it wasn’t so good. There must be something to this. Bill hasn’t improved that much in one year as a coach. On the other hand, lII# Navy got beat, 54 to 0, by Michigan last season. Ingram probably learned a lot about tliat Michigan forward passing attack in 1925. lie had it smothered Saturday by a regular basketball man-to-man defense, according to reports. * * Sometimes an inch is the margin between winning and losing on the football field. There was no better illustration than at Washington Park Sunday in the Muncie-J. J. C. battle. The veteran Cooney Checkaye booted one that hit the goal post and then caromed toward the cross-bar. ‘'Luckily for the local eleven, the pigskin fell in front of the bar and not across it. The ball probably would have gone-over the bar if it had hit the goal post a half-inch farther to the light. In the fourth quarter in the Pennsylvania-Illinois contest the eastern team had one of its best opportunities to score, but on fourth down Wascolonis of Penna failed to make the necessary ten yards by Inches on the Jllini 18yard line. The ball went over and Illinois punted out of danger. A couple of inches one way or another sometimes is the difference between winning and losing. Such little things turn the tide when two evenly matched ■ teams struggle for supremacy. * * * OEWIS of Northwestern represents a Methodist institution on the gridiron, but he ran back kick-off against Indiana Saturday in very unorthodox fashion. Sibley of I. U. booted the ball from a point about ten yards from the sideline. It was a short kick and Lewis got the ball at about the thirtyyard line going at full speed ahead. He kept right on sprinting down the sideline as straight as an arrow. There wasn't anybody near him. It was a strange sight. Usually on such a play the man who receives the ball near the (fide line cuts back toward the opposite side jo that he won’t be forced out of bounds. Evidently “Tiny” had some radical ideas on the subject. He did not wait for interfere ence or slop to think it over. He was an opportunist who made a touchdown by quick thinking and quick running. * * * There did not seem to be any airmen In the Army eleven that defeated Yale. They were all infantrymen who disdained tQ use an aerial attack. And they didn’t need it. After observing the manner in which Navy smothered Michigan’s great air game it is probable that the soldiers will stay on the ground when they clash with the Midshipmen at Chicago late this month. * * • OMETTMES the lane is so long that it seems there is *■— no turning, but it always TURNS. Sometimes the worm is forced to crawl along for many years before getting rid of the Inferiority complex, but it finally TURNS. When the Army eleven finally got “mad,” Yale was smothered under the ferocious rushes of the Cadet backs and the terrific charging of the soldier linemen.. Crushing powertovercame the Eli aggregation, f We are not certain of the ancient history of the Army-Yale battles but it is said that Army on Saturday defeated Yale at New Haven for the first time in thirty-three years. Columbia also came to life' ai\d defeated Cornell for the first time in history. The students of the New York institution could not stand such extraordinary happenings and staged a young riot which brought out Gotham's police force on the run. Any number of so-called favorites fefl by the wayside Nafur-, day. Long live the worms that turn—the glow worms, so to speak, that climb the heights and refuse to burrow any longer.

Charley Walsh

The name Walsh continues to play a stellar role in Notre Dame athletics. Back in 1924, Adam Walsh was captain and center of the Notre Dame team, tlie outstanding eleven in college circles. He is now doing his stuff as a cogch on the coast. In the recent game with Northwestern, whicli Notre Dame had a hard time winning 6-0, it was Charley Walsh, a brother of Adam, who caught a' forward pass for a fifty-yard gain, making possible the winning touchdown.

SUCKER STATE SQUADS TROUNCE HOOSIER TEAMS Indiana, Butler, Wabash, Rose Fall Before Illinois Invaders—Notre Dame Blanks Georgia Tech.

Hoosier college football teams did not fare very well against invaders Saturday. Notre Dame was the only eleven to uphold the name of Indiana on the gridiron. Rockne’s outfit defeated Georgia Tech at South Bend, 12 to 0. The neighboring State of Illinois furnished most of the teams that made Indiana clubs look bad. Northwestern won its second victory of the year over I. U. s£y beating the Crimson at the I. U. homecoming, 21 to 0. Butler and Wabash Fall Butler could do nothing w'ith Lombard, another Illinois school, and was defeated; IS to 0 in the mud of Irwin Field. Wabash alfeo bowed to a Sucker institution, Bradley Tech taking the measure of the Cavemen, 14 to 0. Eastern Illinois downed Rose Poly at Terre Haute, 14 to 0, making it a clean sweep for the Illinois teams. Purdue used its second and third string men to romp over State Normal, 38 to 0. A number of the regulars watched the Northwestern-In-diana contest. Two scoreless ties were played. Franklin and De Pauw could not count in a quagmire battle and Danville Normal and Muncie Normal also failed to reach a decision. Indiana Central Wins Indiana Central nosed out Manchester, 13 to 12, and Hanover downed Evansville College, 8 to 0. The Northwestern at I. U. contest was rather peculiar. Fourteen points were put over by the Purple in the first couple minutes of play when Lewis ran for a touchdown on the openii'g kickoff, and a minute later Sibley of Indiana fumbled a punt which irolled over the I. U. goal line and was pounced on by Figher of the Purple for a touchdown. The other touchdown came at the start of the second half when Holmer broke through the center of the line and ran fifty yards over the Indiana koal lines. Indiana made quite a bit of yardage in thrusts through the line by Bennett and Harrell, but never made it at the hight time. The game was over after those fourteen points were chalked up. The Purple kicked on first dowrf throughout the initial half. . After a 0-tcm) tie first half, Lombard scored tßree touchdowns, one

Mighty Michigan, Penna, Yale Pass Out of Select Circle—Other Surprises. By Henry L Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 1.— Following another Saturday of violent disturbances and gridiron tornadoes, some df the most fancy football machinery was Strewn along in the ditches that already had been well filled with wreckage from earlier season storms. Poor Yale, poor Dartmouth, poor Princeton, poor Harvard and a lot of other poors and poorers had their dignity restored when they looked about in the junk pile and found mighty Michigan of a week ago, mighty Pennsylvania and mighty Southern California looking -with them for what might be salvaged. It Is not within memory, even if it might be a matter of record, that three teams of the vaunted jftiwer of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Southern California went down to such surprising defeats on the same Saturday. Stars Are Sides wiped Michigan, Western Conference champions of 1925 and an odds on favorite to repeat, came East with the all-American Friedman and Oosterbaam and was sideswiped off the road by a fine Navy team. Pennsylvania, conceded to be the most promising team in the East, invaded the “Big Ten” territory and was cut off the main pike by Illinois. It might be said the last minute kick of Frosty Peters that beat Penn. 3 to 0, was a lucky break, hut Michigan, with the most powerful microscopes science knows couldn't find an excuse for an alibi. These upsets were not the only surprises of the week-end and in a readjustment of estimates, the real class looks like Army, Navy and Brown in the East; Ohio State and Notre Dame' in the Middle West; Missouri in the Missouri Valley Conference; Alabama in the South and on the Pacific. Coast, Stanford. Undefeated in East Army, Navy. Brown, and New York University remain undefeated In the East, but the Army and Navy have better right to preference because" of the schedules they have played. Considering the scores made Saturday, the Navy might be given an edge over the Army. The Army looked great In defeating Yale. 33 to I. hut it must he recognized that Yale is much worse than was first thought. Navy, on the other hand, showed the greatest of class in defeating a really great team and the Midshipmen demonstrated the best defense of the season In stopping dead the versatile attack of a great offensive team. * For the same reason, Ohio State should be rated now as the power of the Western Conference because Ohio State has a defense almost, if not as good. If the Navy was able to smother Michigan, Ohio State should he able to do It. Cornell took a smack on the chin and dropped out of the Eastern race by losing to Columbia, ,17 to 9. The results of last week's game set up a number of the most appealing and interesting battles on the calendar. It does not require any imagination to picture the Army and Notre Dame In battle, Ohio State and Michigan in action and last, and perhaps best of all. Army and Navy in their annual fight. *

In the third quarter and two in the fourth against Butler. The first came after a march from the forty-five-yard line, 4,he second was the result of a forward pass and the last after an InterceptedTlass had brought the ball to the Butler eight-yard line. The locals were outplayed throughout. A drizzling rain and muddy field made conditions bad for real football. Notre Dame seldom had in its full strength and was content to win a margin of two touchdowns mhde in the first half. Georgia Tech put- up a good fight. Harry O’Boyle, Irish full injured his leg again and will be out for a while. The Wabash homecoming was ruined by Bradley Tech, a strong club of the Illinois “Little Nineteen" conference. It was another muddy contest. The visitors scored two points on a safety In the se nnd quarter after a blocked kick. Second Kick Blocked Again in the third period another blocked punt scored a touchdown which Bradley recovered on the Wabash three-yard line and punched over on the fourth attempt. The last touchdown came as the result of a forward pass. The biggest of the State rivalry contents, Franklin-De Pauw, ended W'ith noi verdict reachedfl The affair was spoiled by the condition of the field, which was one of those ‘seas of mud" the correspondents like to write about. De Pauw was on the offensive most of the time and Sturtridge got away for some good- runs, but mud and Baptist sophomores always slowed up the Tiger attack in time to prevent scoring. Franklin started a drive of its own in the last period but could not keep it up long enough to slide across ( De Pauw’s goal line. Big Ten Statistics w. L. T. TP. OP.

Harvard Pass Good for 15 Yards

A 47-yard run in the last minute of play spelled Harvard's first triumph over Dartmouth in three years, 16-12.

BIG TEN OUTLOOK CHANGES \ KMichigan ‘Fear’ Believed Shaken —Ohio State and Purple Keep Coming. By (-lark B. Kctoey. United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Nov. An entirely j new state of affairs characterized ! Western Conference football today as the result of the Navy's 10-0 trouncing of Michigan, Saturday. The new angle centers abound psychological effect that this defeat will have on tVie other teams of the conference who meet the Wolverines yet this season. IfUretofore the Michigan team has been thought invincible out this way. The Navy defeut lias changed this condition considerably, nnd experts pointed out that if the underdog feeling is taken away from either Minnesota. Ohio State or Wisconsin, another defeat may be listed on the Wolverine record. All three of these teams are goqd teams and capable of winning. .May Weaken Wolverines While the defeat has served to strengthen the other teams of the Conference against Michigan, it was pointed out that it mqy he blow to a team that -has been touted as a possible national champion and that might possibly have been playing over its head in the early season. At any rate Northwestern looms as a real contender for the championship. Represented by one of the strongest teams it has had in years, it is almost certain to go through ihe season undefeated because of a light schedule. One defeat of Michigan probably would make champions out of the Wildcats, who added another victory Saturday by heating Indiana, 21-0. Easy for Oltlo Saturday's play saw another undefeated team go down when Minneapolis beat Wisconsin, 16-10. Ohio State won from Chicago, 18-0 without undue exertion. The Buckeyes did little opening up in the game and several surprises are expected when Wilce's team hooks up with Michigan. Illinois seems to really have become a serious threat. The 3-0 win over Penn took nnother team out of national championship running, but Illinois already has been defeated in the conference, so cannot be'counted on in that respect. Tite two conference teams, lowa and Purdue, won from weak opponents by easy margins, the former beating Carrol College and the latter trouncing Indiana. State Normal. N. Y.

City Bowling Gossip By lipfty la** The Marott Shoe Shop team Jour neyed to Terre Haute Sunday and was defeated by the Fulper Sign squad, one ot the crack outfit* of that city, by the score of 2,913 to 2,890. A poor middle game of 139 by Wiesman, usually one of the most reliable howlers of the Marotts, was harmful. The Marotts will have another match with this team at In dianapolls and expect to even mat ters. In u doubles match at Terre Haute I Sunday ( hurley Cray and Frank I Fox defeated Reeves and O. Jensen in a close, hard-fought event, 1,221 to 1,214. Cray, with games of 192, -< and 217, for a total of 665, was the big noise in this set. Charley Improves with age. In tlie past week some wonderful bowling was turned in. It looks as if the hoys are rounding Into form, and from now on scores can be ex pected to grow larger and larger. Who is going to be the first to rear ,i that coveted 300? The writer has seen at least u dozen games in which one had break was the only thing which stopped this score. It is coming, that is sure, for we have quite a number of the who are on the old headpin all the time. Sixty-four howlers in the various leagues passed the coveted 600 mark in the past week, tlTe 710 total of Eddie Hornberger being high. Eddie surely had a wonderful night, and he had got the breaks on his first game would; have broken all records, for at four different times ip this game a stubborn ten pin stopped him. The writer's recipe for a good howling team: Take three Schott brothers, add six feet of Fox and five feet eleven Inches of Sargent. Mix well and put them on a bowling alley. These hoys are loading Capitol No. 1 league, and any night, your team is called on to shoot against the EinItoes Up the boys off (hat. (hey must get the wood or take a trimming. Well, boys, tonight should see the Pins flying around as the Recreation and Century Leagues aro on the alleys for their weekly session. This is good news to the writer, na these leagues can bp depended on to give a fellow something to write. Brewer of the Wheeler-Schebler League won the Em-Roe bowling shoes for high practice game at the Capitol alleys for the month of October, with a score of 268. Frank Hueher had a 279 score, but as he is alley manager his score was ineligible. There are a number of prizes up at these alley* for November, and some of the hoys are going to eat turkey as well a* get “turkeys” soon. While the fish are still biting things ore rather dull over the week end, but with November starting now, match games and sweepstakes can he expected to become the rag.in a short time.
