STIRRIN’ the DOPE k By VEDDER GARD

SHERE has been a lot said about Princeton being allowed five downs against Harvard at one time last Saturday which gave Jake Slagle an opportunity to drop-kick three points from the field on the extra down. This seemed very unlikely to us and an explanation was awaited. The other day there was a statement concerning the happening from Referee Crowell. Here is what he said: "Princeton’s first play resulted in a loss of six yards. Then a forward pass was attempted fhal gained a little. That accounts for two downs. On the third down the Princeton quarterback took an extended time in giving his signals and tills caused a Harvard guard to he drawn offside. "I called it no play and cautioned the Princeton quarter back not to take so much time again. The spectators did not know this and naturally believed that au extrad down had been given." In this situation the referee was within his rights. Rule 13, Section 6, says: If a player of the side In possession of the ball makes a deliberate attempt, by a false start or otherwise, to draw the opponents offside, the ball. If snapped, I shall not be regarded as In play or the scrimmage as begun. Penalty—Loss of five yards. But, you say, Referee Crowell did not penalize Princeton. He did not have to. Listen to this note which goes with the above rule: “Variations of starting signals or shift plays when used for the purpose of drawing opponents offside should be penalized under this section. If he should be in doubt as to the intent the referee may waive the penalty and direct that the ball be put in play at the same spot, the number of the down and point to be gained for first down remaining the same.” It wouldn’t do the football fans and some of the sport writers any harm to read up a little on the rules. Tt would add to the former’s enjoyment of the game and the latters' ability to write intelligently, Many spectators seemingly do not know that the down remains the same on most penalties, and at every game one can hear fans yelling that a team Is getting too maiV downs. To make this more plain—if a team is offside on the second down it is penalized five yards from where llie ball was put in play, hut after the penalty the next down remains the same. It is still the SECOND down, not the third, 'Phis may seem like primary stuff to those who know, but you’d be surprised how many grade football fans there 'are. • • • mT Is a peculiar way to celebrate Armistice Day by staging premeditated battles, but a number of football teams have that strange idea Thursday. There are not many important contests, most of the big fellows being content with pounding each other around once a week on Saturday, Indianapolis has a game tomorrow when Danville Normal comes to Indiana Central, University Heights Institution, for the annual game. Last year the Danville outfit swamped the locals, 41 to 0. Lombard, the team that beat Butler a couple of weeks ago, plays Chicago "Y” College at Galesburg, 111. Oklahoma should trim Kansas at Lawrence, Kans. On the Pacific coast, University of Southern California goes way up to Portland, Ore., to mash with the Oregon Aggies. Much searching through the schedule fails to reveal anything else of much general Interest, • * * Tie, the poor Tndian. After those two Tarahumare tribesmen ran from Paehuea to City of Mexico, (12I& miles, in nine hours and thirty-seven minutes, the governor of Mexico presented them with plows. That must have been a shock—something like giving Man o’ War a set of harness, or C. C. Pyle a memk berehlp in the A. A. U. '• * * SLL good things must come to an end. The last Kentucky race meeting of the year started at Lexinton today. The fall program will Include ten days of sport, which ends Nov. 20. The feature of opening day was the Lexington Herald handicap at one and one-sixteenth miles. In this race was “Pop” Collins’ Old Slip, winner of ten out of his last eleven races. 'The 3-year-old was forced to carry 125 pounds today, but in spite of the weight he was a likely favorite. * * * The University of Minnesota has put out some figures stating that forty-five miles of adhesive tape are bought every year. The Gopher officials should have added, “but our opponents buy at least twice that much.” •* * * .J. tJISH Saturday would hurry up and come so we could get this Army-Notre Dame thing over with. We have a hunch we are going to pick that game wrong—no matter which team is selected. Some of the "smart” boys about town are making Army the 10 to 9 favorite at this writing. Seems as though it should be that way—yet, on second thought, the odds don’t make a team win. L How’s that for staying on the fence?

City Bowling Gossip By Lefty Lee

Only one week left to enter the city tournament. If you have not entered, now is the time. This is going to be the biggest and best ever, so you do not want to miss It. The Board of Trade Ladies’ League match resulted in a win for the Oats over the Wheat team. McCormick of the Oats carried off high honors. The City Branch and Paymasters were three-time winners over the Stockyards and Shamrocks, respectively, in the ICingan League Tuesday night while the Eggs and Canning were taking the La Perla and Traffic fort two out of three. Black of the Eggs carried away high total on games of 161, 235 and 227 for 623 pins. Three-game wins featured the shooting in the 11. A. ('. League on the Elks’ alleys Tuesday night. The Boosters, Indian Clubs, Ballroom five and Tumblers defeated the Dumbbells, Ropes, Water Dogs and Bucks. Smith of the Indian Clubs, with a score of 610 on games of 191, 217 and 202 carried away higli individual honors. Eddie Harkenrider says he will have the drives in wonderful shape for the sweepstakes next Sunday afternoon. As these alleys are the ones selected for the city tourney, a large entiry of doubles can be expected, as the boys wish to obtain practice of this kind for tuning up purposes. Prank Hueber received Joe Michaelis with open aps Tuesday, showed him around the entire establishment, and then shot him a fivegame match. Prank had been continually bragging how good the alleys were, so figured he had to get the wood. He did. These scores will say the rest: Miehaeiis. 190-21: MOO-1 Os) 180 —072. Hueber. 254-276-208-2 45-245—1.228. Hueber’s average for this set was 244 3-5. Joe said he is convinced Frank was right. Results in the Sutherland League Tuesday night were all in favor of the Parsons, Deacons and Ushers, their victims being the Elders, Singers and Trustees. The “blind” family was well represented, eight being "present” in the various line-ups. The Fairbanks & Morse team defeated the leading Crescent Paper squad two out of three in their session on Tuesday night. Other Commercial League games resulted in a triple win for the Interstate Car, Citizens Gas and Ballards over the Allied Coal, George J. Mayer and Crane Cos. Selmier and Trustees System dropped their series to the Diking Candy and Union Title by the two-out-of-three route. The opponents of Martin Parry will roll against their scores later. Is your team a member of organized bowling? The game is growing by leaps and bounds and we believe that any one who is interested enough to bowl in a league should join the parent body, the city association, the body responsible for the advance of the game to wonderfully equipped houses with every facility for the bowlers. $500,000 RACING STABLE Bv United Press BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 10.—As a present to his daughter. Mrs. Margaret Emerson' Baker, Capt. Isaac E. Emerson is to establish a $500,000 racing stable and horse breeding farm on the Fkiss farm in the Worthington valley. # Plans include stables for fifty or sixty horses, a one-mile outdoor track and a three-eights of a mile indoor track.

The Army, of course, has had treat teams in the past and the Navy has had as many, but it never before so happened that the Cadets and the Midshipmen had such highclass teams in the same season—a season with so many other great teams. Two formidable barriers, however, stand in flic way of the West Point and Annapolis teams. To go into their annual game undefeated the Army will have to beat Notre Daine Saturday and the Navy will liave to beat Georgetown. The whole country knows what can be expected of the Irish of Notre Dame, but to the fans in removed territory the Irish of Georgetown may not be so respected. Georgetown has developed fast since being defeated by West Virginia and the team has been pointed for a neighborhood battle with the Navy. The Army has beaten Detroit, Davis-Elkins, Syracuse. Boston L'niversity, Vale, Franklin and Marshal:, and if the Cadets beat Notre Dane and the Navy, no stronger claim cai be made by any other teams. Notre Dame has beaten Beloit, Minnesota, Penn State. Northwestern, Georgia Tech and Indiana. If Notre Dame beats the Army and Drake and beats Southern Cali I'omia in Is Angeles next month. Notre Dame would be a champion almost by acclamation. Navy has beaten Purdue, Rid. mond, Drake. Princeton, Colgat* Michigan, W. Virginia Wesleyan, and if the Midshipmen beat Georgt town and the Army, no team in ti: country can boast more on such formidable schedule. The best teams in the South, tbt Middle West and the Far West can not be dismissed from a title sea* by a mere wave of the hand and a verdict that they are not candidates, but if it should so happen that Ohh State would be defeated by iliebi gan. Saturday, then the dope wi lead back to the support of East.

SCALPER HARVEST IN EAST Speculators ‘Going Big’ With Army-N. D. Tickets — All Seats Sold. Bu I nited Press NEW YORK. No. 10.—All tickets for the Army-Metre Dame game here Saturday have been sold out by the sources that legitimately handle them and New York is now experteneing the greatest speculators’ holdup that has attended any football game this season. The pasteboards, with $3.30 plainly printed thereon, are being disposed of by the “specs” for $lO, sl2 and even sls. The best of these tiekeis are not in choice sections, but the sale is brisk. In almost any large hotel lobby or along Broadway the "genial gentlemen” who are so glad to accommodate with tickets “slightly higher than box office prices" are whispering their wares to any likely looking collegiate. They are having little trouble getting their prices and as supply diminishes the rates probably will increase to as high as $25. Little betting is being done on either team There seems little basis for odds either way. The Army appears to have an invincible line, a sm.t hing attack and a good record this season.
