SwmarmmamMmmtm TIRRIN' the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

SHE football season is rapidly drawing to a close and fittingly there are numerous grid struggles of note on Saturday. Some of these games put a difficult task upon the dopester, who attempts the selections of the probable winners. Two of the features, East and Mid-West, appear to be toss-iff) affairs and predictions are more or less guesses in which the Hip of a coin is as good a way to reach a decision as any other. The Ariny-Notre Dame contest and Michigan-Ohio State scrap are good ones to stay away from if anyone is inclined to wager. The ARMY is the favorite in the East and in this city. The odds around here are approximately 10 to S, in favor of the Cadets. One can hardly keep from making the soldiers the choice when Coach Rockne in one of his copyright football articles says: “I saw the Army play last week and it is the finest looking Army team 1 have seen since the war. They have power, speed ami deception; they, handle the hall cleanly and play smart, ‘heads up’ football. Even if the four or five of our regulars who are injured were able to get into (lie game l don’t see how Notre Dame could win. However, we are going to give them a. fight.” In spite of all this, our own perianal opinion is that Notre Dame has m even chance. MICHIGAN is the favorite over Ohio State. If all dope does not go wrong this contest looks like another terrific struggle. The odds here are 10 to 6, Michigan. There is much confidence in the Wolverines. Even money is offered that Michigan wins by seven points. We believe that tlie game will be close, with the Buckeyes standing a good chance to upset the dope. The football fans evidently believe that MISSISSIPPI A. and M. has a good chance to defeat Indiana IT. The smart boys all want the southern eleven against I. U. In other Big Ten games NORTHWESTERN is a 10 to 7 choice over Chicago, and the odds probably will be greater than that on Saturday. There is a feeling, however, that the Purple will get a real battle from the Maroons. Two of the weaker Western Conference elevens meet when lowa and Wisconsin tangle. WISCONSIN is the even money choice. The Hawkeyes have been more or less a flivver after playing a good game against Illinois. They have not won a conference game. The Badgers are not so good and the teams appear fairly evenly matched. In one lump, MINNESOTA, .ILLINOIS and PURDUE. They paly Butler, Wabash and Franklin, respectively. Purdue has the hardest game with the Baptists; It is not exactly a set-up, but the Boilermakers need not worry much. Butler is a 100 to 1 shot. Wabash has a good team, but Coach Zuppke probably will sleep well tonight. Skipping back East, tliere is plenty of action. 'PRINCETON is doped to win over Yale—lo to 8 are the prevailing odds. Old Eli may come back and surprise, however. DARMOUTH is the selection over Cornell. There seems to be some fear that Gil Dobie has something up his sleeve, but it is difficult to believe that Cornell can surprise the Big Green. COLGATE should defeat Syracuse and W. AND J. is a 10 to 8 choice over Pittsburgh. PENNSYLVANIA isa 2 to 1 favorite over Columbia, which seems right and proper. We must no forget Harvard. Crhnons’s opponent, BROWN, is the choice, at odds of 10 to 8. The game will be close if the dopesters are correct. Brown will win by five points is about the best the Brown supporters will “give.” It may seem surprising, but even money on>the NAVY is the best being offered against Georgetown. There is some respect tt'or the latter after its defeat of Syracuse. And some just won’t believe that Navy and Michigan score. BOSTON COLLEGE is nlO to 7 choice over Haskell. There may be an upset in this struggle. The Indians are strong this season. ALABAMA, the best in the South, is an overwhelming favorite against Florida. VANDERBILT is doped the winner over Tennessee. In the big game of the Missouri Valley Conference NEBRASKA looks as thought it might surprise the Kansas Aggies, but it will be a struggle. That’s enough for today.

N. 8.-ARMY ENCOUNTER GETS SPOTLIGHT IN DAY OF FEATURES

HOOSIER INTEREST IN EAST

N. D.-Army Fray Gets Most Attention—lndiana Meets Dixie Invader. By William J. Dunn, United Press Sports Writer. Eyes of Indiana sport fans today are on New York, where Notre Dame meets Army in the annual inter-sec-tional grid scrap Saturday. Notre Dame has launched a drive which Irish followers hope will bring Indiana its second national football championship in three years. For the first time this year Notre Dame will enter a game without being the favorite. In fact, many followers who are placing money on the probable outcome of the contest, are offering odds of 10 to 9 on the Cadets. Tussle for Indiana At Bloomington Saturday Indiana University will hold the spotlight in Us battle with Mississippi A. and M. The southern eleven is expected to give the Scrappin’ Hoosiers some, real opposition. Purdue faces a good State team in Franklin, but the Baptists are not expected to be able to withstand the charges of thg fa,st J archie line and backs. Purdue is doped to win handily and Coach- Jimmy Phelan already is looking ahead to Indiana. Butler worked out this afternoon at Minneapolis, where the Bulldogs meet Minnesota Saturday. Inasmuch as the Gophers trounced Wabash with sixty points to spare and Wabash, in turn trimmed Butler, the Bulldogs appear to be doomed. Other Conflicts The Illini are heavy favorites to beat Wabash .at Urbana Saturday. Earlham is favored to trim Rose. Evansville is a slight favorite over Danville Normal because of the fact that the Teachers met Indiana Central Thursday and, will have but one day of rest before meeting the JPurple Aces. Manchester College meets Adrian and the Michigan school is favorite. De Pauw is to enjoy a rest Saturday.

Linton Is Winner in Thriller

Hil Times Slierlnl LINTON, Ind., Nov. 12.—Armistice day, and perfect weather conditions, togother with a feature attraction, Linton vs. Clinton, at high school football, caused attendance records for a high school game in Linton to be broken Thursday when 5,000 fans watched the locals down Clinton, 13 to 6. The local scores came within the first ten minutes, the first on a pass over the line from Parks to Olmstead. Parks kicked goal. After the next kick-off, Parks wiggled his way down the field on three plays, the last being a run of twenty-five yards to the one-yard line. He plunged over on the next play for a touchdown. Then the crippled team of Clinton began to fight, and the game developed into pne. thrill after another. Soon after the second half opened, Hilges, Clinton, leaped into the air and snagged a pass for a touchdown. The try for goal fouled.

Wonderful Menu for College Football Followers Over Country Saturday. By Henry L. Farre!!, LnittU Press btmf C 'urresitoiident NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Vaudeville managers have been forced danger ously close to the condition of mental defectives in trying to pi; ce acts of an ail-star program in positions that would satisfy the vanity of the actors and suit the taste of the ticket purchasers. Saturday's football program, advertised Barnum-like as the biggest show of the season, will cause just as much mental anguish, to those who would like to see the biggest game of the day. Here's the pro gram: Army against Notre Dame. Ohio State against Michigan. Navy against Georgetown. ri'iuceton against Tale. Dartmouth against Cornell. Brown against Harvard. Pennsylvania against Columbia. SjraetiHe against Colgate, Pittsburgh against Washington and Jefferson. Marquette against Auburn, and others! Speculators’ Delight There isn't a game on the card that is not worth a visit to a ticket speculator, but for one or perhaps two reasons the annual battle between the Army and Notre Dame will get the spqjlight. Army, by a season's record without blemish or a suggestion of lucky breaks, is the recognized standardbearer of eastern football, and Dame, survivor of a hard schedule and a trade mark of the Master Rockne, is entrusted with the tattle Rag of the West. The winner may ibe the first national champion that didn’t have to fight for its claim. More than 70,000 spectators will fight to get near the Yankee Stadium Saturday to see the game, and 70,000 more would have hocked the family jewels to see the contest if “The House That Babe Ruth Built” were large enough to give them a place to stand and a spy glass to see. The odds on the game favor the Army simply because the Army has the same veteran team that gave a Rockne team its worst beating last season. Tigers and Bulldogs Princeton and Yale will get a play in the East, because it is perhaps the last “Big Three” battle in which Princeton will be involved and for the reason that thousands will be wanting to see Princeton win another and last “Big Three” pennant after kicking Harvard off all its athletic schedules. . Just as important in the Middle West as the best games in the East will be the battle between Ohio State and Michigan, a game that may decide the championship of the Western Conference. And a “Big Ten” champion in these days, can hold a head as high as any. Navy has to battle Georgetown in a hard game, the result of which will have a large bearing fin the national championship. If Georgetown wins—and Georgetown has a great chance to win—the Navy will have to accept a push out of the scant row of contenders. PLAY AT SEATTLE Nebraska gridders will meet University of Washington at Seattle Thanksgiving day. It will be the second of a home-and-home series. Last year's battle ended in a 6-6 tie.

DOPE UPSET Marion H. S. Downs Wabash Eleven, 6 to 0. Bii Times Soerinl WABASH, Ind., Nov. 12.—The Marion High School football team set the State groggy Thursday with a clean-cut 6-0 victory over the Wabash High School, chaimpon of the Wabash Valley League. Wabash was a top-heavy favorite before the game, but Coach Eugene Thomas brought a squad of youths over from Marion who were in the game with fight from the first whistle. Overconfidence, on part of Wabash players, stood out, but they were never able to meet the fight of the Marion Giants. Ross was one outstanding player of the Wabash “Thomcats,” while Chapman, Marion end, smeared plays before they were started, and Hodge, Marion full back, crashed the line for repeated gains. He scored from the one-yard line after a dash down the field for forty yards. The game was witnessed by crowd of 4,000. YALE REGATTA Hu T’nitcd Press .

SC H ALK NEW SOX MANAGER Veteran Catcher Succeeds Collins at Chicago in Surprise Move. Hu T'nited Press CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—After fifteen years’ service in the ranks as a big league ball player, Ray Schalk, rated one of the best catchers of all time, today embarked on a major league managerial career. Schalk, Thursday night, was appointed to succeed Eddie Collins as manager of tho Chicago White Sox, the team he has given his entire major league service. Man of Energy Charles Coniiskey, owner of the Sox, made no announcement regarding the change in the team's management other than to say that he felt Schalk had tho grit and energy I to make a team play ball. Schalk, who has served under five managers, was unprepared to make | any statement regarding possible changes in the team. His only comment was that the infield needs bolstering. The announcement of the change came as a surprise here, as it wa3 thought Collins, one of the best second baseman who ever wore tho spiked shoe, was doing a fairly good job. To Ask Waivers Comiskey said waivers will be asked on Collins aryl if all teams waive he will be given his unconditional release. Collins lias played in the American
