— I ONDER how Butler is goVY/ ing to stop that Minnesota * * avalanche? Coach Ingwersen of lowa tried a desperate remedy last Saturday, but it proved of no avail. The Hawkeyes have a heavy line, that cannot compare in. speed to the Gohper forwards. In an effort to stop the allpowerful shift play of Coaeli Spears’ team the lowa roach luul his forwards placed three yards back of tlio neutral zone on defense. When Minnesota took its second jump on the shift the Hawkoye lineman charged forward on the run. hoping to smash up the clock-Uke precision of their opponents’ attack. It w r as an innovation that failed to work as everyone knows who read the score. 41 to 0. The Hawkeye forwards charged more or less unevenly and were brushed this way and that by the beautiful rhythm and sweep of the Gophers' irresistible attack. A veteran line has just a chance against such power. Butler seems so hopelessly outclassed against the Gophers Saturday that bets have been offered that, the Bulldogs will he defeated by forty points—and no takers. Everyone remembers that Wabash was defeated sixty points. Tt seems ridiculous to predict such a defeat for a team, but cold figures have a way of stating unpleasant. truths. There seems to be only one hope of the score being a resp%ctable size when the Irvington eleven plays at Minneapolis. The Swedes may hold back for Michigan the next Saturday. And, by the way, Michigan has two nice Saturday afternoons ahead —Ohio State, then Minnesota. • * * We noticed a couple of good ones today. In a newspaper headline football players were called “cleatmon," and in a publicity story concerning next to the last game of the season the fracas was referred to as the penultimate contest. Try and beat those.
mUST twenty years ago Wabash made its best showing against .Illinois on the gridiron. In 1906 the two clubs played a 0-t6-0 tie. The Illini and Scarlet have met seven times and the former has won every game except the one mentioned. It is only logical to suppose that Zuppke’s team will make It seven victories on Saturday. “Zupp” may go over to Columbus and watch Ohio State against Michigan. Illinois meets the Buckeyes the following Saturday. However, the little coach may recall the time he went east to scout a game and Butler slipped over a surprice victory. If he remembers that he may stay at home. • • * Very discouraging, very discouraging, indeed, dust saw a news item which stated that, the Vrmy play el’s were not bothered by tlie Notre Dame shift as used by thp scrubs in practice the other day. Os course, Parisien. Riley, Edwatds, Dahmpn, Heamdon, McGrath, Chevigney, Nemic, Roach. Flanagan, Wynne, or O’Boylc. were not carrying the ball. Tliat might make some difference. * • • EITST a word of warning for some of those who think Michigan is a cinch over Ohio State next Saturday. Don’t let that 37 to 0 defeat of AVisconstn last week mean too much. The Badgers were badly crippled at Ann Arbor with three of their best linemen out of the game. Leitl and Straubel, tackles, and Burrus, end, did not play against the Wolverines. Michigan surely is no stronger than last year—very probably is weaker. Ohio State undoubtedly is much stronger. In 1923 the Buckeyes, with a team badly crippled, lost to Michigan, 10 to 0. The touchdown was scored on a blocked punt. Putting all this together it is bard to see how some of the dopesters tigure Michigan such a big favorite next Saturday.

ROOTING FORCES ‘PEP UP’ FOR SHORTRIDGE-MANUAL GRID TILT
TO PLAY COLONEL GRIDDERS Cathedral Warriors to Battle St. Xavier, Louisville, Here Saturday. 9 The spirit of comradeship that existed between Joe Sexton and Joe Harmon when they played together at Cathedral High School here and at Notre Dame University will be forgotten for two hours Saturday, when the teams of St. Xavier High School, l.ouisville, and Cathedral meet at Washington Park, 2:30 p. m. Sexton this year took up the reins at Cathedral as athletic coach. Harmon has been at Louisville since leaving Notre Dame. The game will be a thriller, as the season’s record of both teams are impressive. Last Saturday Cathedral trounced the Reitz Catholic, High of Evansville, 12-0. Other games were victories except the one with Garfield High of Terre Haute, which the western Indiana team won, 20-0. Garfield seems to have the city title cinched at Terre Haute, so the loss is not so hard to take when it is taken into consideration the local team is green and most of last year’s players graduated. Sexton Is working the boys dally at Washington Park and believes they can take the St. Xavier into camp.
—LOOKING ’EM OVER— Bob Meusel, I ankee outfielder, already knows what he Is going to receive among his Christmas presents. He’s going to receive anew glove. Even when clowning. Babe Ruth picks out a big Way to do it. He was injured recently while practicing football with the Minnesota squad. He tried to tackle Herb Joesting, Gopher ace. Ty Cobb, out as Detroit manager, has more money than many big league magnates. All Ty’s brains were not in his feet. Some of the high school elevens practice in secret so much they keep their plays a secret during the actual games, and one wonders what they've been trying to hide. Well, we wonder where this week’s biggest football riot will be? At some Eastern colleges this fall more rooters than grid warriors have been taken home on stretchers. Mussolini, no doubt, is glad he rules a country where the boys don’t play baseball and learn control—he is thriving on wild pitches. In the Home Spun League. * Check up on yourselves, you boys in the parlor. Somebody is holding out a buck for that last can. Don’t answer the phone—l have enough company tonight. A
‘BIG THREE’ DISRUPTED WHEN PRINCETON BALKS Tigers Decide They Can Not ‘Go Down the Line’ With Harvard’s Sport Policy.
Bu I nitled Press PRINCETON, N. J. Nov. 11.— Princeton University today awaited Harvard’s reply to the action of th(e Princeton board of athletic control in severing athletic relations, with Harvard, thereby automatically dissolving the 'Big Three” of collegiate sports. The bad feeling between the under graduate bodies of the two universities was given as the chief reason for tho break, while a contributing factor was said to be the policy set forth in resolutions adopted by the Harvard committee on regulation of sports, Oct. 18, which, it was charged at Princeton, had broken the triple agreement to which Harvard, Princeton and Yale were parties. Dr. Charles W. Kennedy, chairmail of the Princeton board of athletic control, quoted the objectionable clause of the resolutions as follows: Clause Is Quoted “Harvard will play Yale every year at the scheduled time, but will play other colleges intermittently.” The ill-will which has been known to exist between the t,wo schools for some time blazed into open hostility recently when the lampoon, Harvard’s undergraduate humorous publication, carried an editorial, jokes and poems which .were considered insulting and derogatory to Princetonians. Decision of the board to sever athletic relations, which Dr. Kennedy said was unanimous, was conveyed Wednesday night to William J. Bingham, director of athletics at Harvard, in the following letter: ‘‘DEAR MR. BINGHAM: “At a meeting of the Pnm-eton board of athletic control, held this afternoon, the board voted unanimously to sever athletic relations with Harvard in all sports, v'e have been forced to the conviction that it is at present impossible to expect in. athletic competition with Harvard the spirit of cordial good will between the undergraduate bodies of the two universities which should characterize college sports. “Under these circumstances we prefer to discontinue competition with Harvard altogether. Should you wish, we will, of ‘•nurse complete Burn engagements as may have been scheduled between us for the present academic year. We should regard these contests as Inadvisable, but we will be glad to dismiss the matter with vou. should you so desire. ‘‘Also may add that Princeton, so far as she is concerned, would never accept the implications of the athletic poliev recently adopted by the Harvard committee on regulation of athletic sport and set forth in their resolutions of Oct. 18.“ Dr. Kennedy said relations were not severed because of the slurs in the Lampoon, but added that editorials in that publidation and The Crimson reflected the ill-will that, existed between the two universities. The opinion expressed among Princeton undergraduates today was one of regret to see the “Big Three”
Alumni Take Hand

That the Lampoon suspend publication. That those responsible for the writing and publication of the .objectionable nut ter be expelled from college.
Second Fray of City Series at Irwin Field Friday Afiernoon. Technical High School downed Manual on a muddy field some time ago, 6 to 0, and Friday afternoon, at Irwin Field, Irvington, 2:30, Shortridge plays its annual grid tilt with the south side warriors. Oh. yes, Shortridge is the favorite, though there’s nothing to prevent Manual from upsetting the dope, and that's what the Red and White banner carriers intend to do if tight will do it. Shortridge has rambled in fine style this' season and has managed to pile up an impressive record, but city series battles don't always go according to calculations and the conflict Friday is regarded well worth viewing. The city public high school title ia in possession of Technical, and Tech won the first 1926 title brush when Manual was turned back. Shortridge and Tech do not meet until Nov. 19. Shortridge rooters have gone foot hall mad over their squad this fall and promise to give the gridders capacity support Friday. Many Manual rooters became downhearted when Tech nosed out the south siders. hut since Manual’s decisive win. 20 to 0, over Lebanon the enthusiasm at the south side institution has taken on renewed vigor. Irwin Field Is being worked on and if rain stays away the ground will be in good shape for the high school tussle Friday. Many of the prep athletes battle to their last ounce of endurance and these city series games deserve the public’s whole-hearted support.
broken up, but satisfaction in seeing Harvard dropped. Harvard and Princeton have been playing football since 1877. The game a week ago was the twentyeighth, of which Princeton has won sixteen and Harvard nine. Three games were tied. '
