mT is just too bad. Queen Marie of Roumania, if we are not mistaken, has not seen a football game and she has been in the United States all through the grid season. Someone has slipped up here. She probably believes that only royalty can attract such crowds as throng along her path as she visits here and there. And she is partly right. But a big game would be an education for Queen Marie. She does not know, perhaps, that America also has a monarch that rules for three months of the year —King Football. Maybe, the Queen would be jealous. More subjects pay homage to this King during his short reign each year than are in Roumania’s domain. * * * Did you notice that “Bo” McMillin’s Geneva collegians were defeated last week? Yes, sir, the same Geneva that beat Harvard got “took” by Grove City, 3 to 0. It was another one of those place kicks which suddenly have taken on such importance among tile football hoi polloi as well as the elite. And the gentleman who made the kick—well, you can just hear liis toe thudding against the pigskin—Pflug. That’s his name! • • SIIE trouble with this football season for some teams is that it is Just durn thing after another. Michigan only had a week to rest on its laurels after the Illinois game until the Navy bumped off the Wolverines. Now with the Ohio State onepoint victory all locked up in the trophy room, along comes those pesky Gophers again next Saturday. Michigan has had a pleasant autumn., Think of playing Minnesota twice, Ohio State, Navy and Illinois! Well, the first three years on the varsity are the hardest, unless you go to West Point. * * • In a Washington paper they designate the officials in football games in the summaries as Mr. So-and-So. Maybe the aforementioned publication docs tills to make the whistle footers feel better after the game. Having heard themselves called everything besides Mister wtiile performing their thankless tasks on the Held of battle, the officials undoubtedly appreciate it. . * * * It is rather hard to decide whether the Navy eleven is lucky or good. Some of these times the Middies are going to fail to come from behind and lose a hall game. One of those times Is going to be on Nov. 27. • * • rryiEW YORK may get the |l\ jump on Chicago but the I * ~ I eastern metropolis finds it difficult to put over anything on its mid-west rivals. Last winter Tex Rickard put ice hockey on the map in Gotham. It went over big. This year Madison Square Garden will ring with the clash of skates almost every night. Hockel is a rough and tough game—a speedy, thrilling spectacle that makes fans out of everyone who sees the sport. Tonight in Chicago at the Coliseum the first contest in the National League will be played between the Chicago Black Hawks and the Toronto St. Pats. The Windy City will soon overlake New York. If the Chicago sport fans fall for wrestling they will go wild over the stirring struggles on the Ice.

If Middies Better Notre Dame Score Against Army, What Then? By Henry L. Farrell Times Staff Corresvondrnt NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Notre Dame and the Navy, two of the greatest football teams of the year, now face the task of surviving the season undefeated and then make their claims for the national championship. Notre Dame, in a great victory over the Army, came as close to any certainty that football has for a mythical title, but that very victory may turn out to be the means of a dispute. The Navy has only one more game, and if the Navy should happen to beat the Army in Chicago, Nov. 27, and pile up a bigger score than 7 to 0, by which Notre Dame beat the Cadets, the Midshipmen will find themselves in fine voice for some first-class claiming. Notre Dame has three more games to play and if Knute Rockne’s fine young team wins from Drake, Car.negie Tech and Southern California, Notre Dame will be able to show a season’s performance that no other team can equal. If the Army should win from the Navy, and the Cadets certainly are not to be condemned to death because of the4oss to Notre Dame, the claim of Notre Dame' will be even stronger. \ The Navy has escaped defeat so far on a heavy schedule against Purdue, Drake, Richmond, Princeton, Colgate, Michigan, " West Virginia Wesleyan and Georgetown. It is true the Midshipmen won fluky victories over Colgate and Princeton, but there was nothing fluky about the manner in which Michigan was defeated, and Michigan is one of the strongest teams in the country. The Army plays Canisius Saturday and, even though strange things have been happening all season, the Cadets certainly ought to win and advance on the Navy in the season’s finale in good shape. Brown and Lafayette, undefeated among the major eastern teams, haven’t much of a claim for an equal footing with Notre Dame, the Navy or the Army. * Brown did defeat Dartmouth, Yale and Harvard and showed great football in doing it, but Dartmouth, Yale and Harvard were not ranking teams to be compared with the teams that were defeated by Notre Dame and the Service academjes. It seems to be taken almost for granted in the East that Notre Dame will pass through the season undefeated, but there is no good reason why Southern- California should be looked upon as a certain victim.

ZUPPKE DRILLS ILLINOIS FOR OHIO STATE GAME

Another Thriller Promised Saturday as Rival Elevens Battle Buckeyes Given Edge on Dope.

Bv Times Boeeial URBANA, 111., Nov. 17.—As Coach Bob Zuppke, profiting by his personal observations of Ohio State embattled with Michigan Saturday, prepares the Illini for next Saturday’s encounter with the Buckeyes * there is jqst one prediction in the local gridiron camp. That is that the Ohio State-Illinois battle will be another thriller, probably equaling in sensations and excitement the tight tussle over at Columbus Saturday. Smarting over their defeat by the narrow margin of one point because of a missed try for goal after touchdown, the Buckeyes are girding themselves for their invasion of the Illinois stadium. It was pretty tough for Ohio to forfeit a tie with the

But if anything, the result £t Columbus will send the Buckeyes into battle here next Saturday, raring and rampaging, with blood in their eye, determined to conquer the iKini and be in a position to claim the highest ranking in the Big Ten that is possible. Ohio, with a brilliant running and forward passing attack, probably has an edge on the Illini, according to the dope. But Zuppke, with firsthand information of the Buckeye strategies, is hard at work building up a defense. The Illinois regulars, fresh after a week of comparative rest, none of them battered or bruised from a Saturday game, since none was used against Wabash, with the exteep-

Zuppke proposes to stand pat on his usual line-up. but sturdy reserves such as Nowack and Perkins, young tackles, are being groomed for emergencies. Impressed by the virtual deadlock between Ohio and Michigan, fans are making a big drive on the Illinois ticket office and it is certain that the biggest crowd that ever saw Ohio play at Illinois, perhaps 40,000 will come to the stadium.
