■ '■a ITH the annual meeting VY/ of faculty athletic commlt- ” tee members and athletic directors of the Western Conference scheduled for next Friday at Hotel Sherman, Chicago, the old question of football schedules in the Big Ten bobs up again. At this gathering 1927 grid cards will be drafted. Bast year a step forward was taken when each team was required to play four conference contests. It finally necessitated Indiana and Northwestern playing twice with Michigan and Minnesota In the same predicament. Some Big Ten teams have not met on the gridiron for so long that the opponents would not know each other’s colors to hang up In honor of the occasion. It surely seemed that some sort of round robin schedule arrangement could be worked out. It is an old subject and one not likely to be settled soon because some of the schools don’t care to book others for various reasons. The present tendency to intersectional contests also works against any such plan. But what Is a Big Ten for if the members do not play each other? One plan is to have three “traditional” games—that Is “natura.” battles, as is illustrated by Purdue and Indiana—games which have come to be annual affairs. Then it is suggested that two other games be played in rotating order, making five conference games in all. That seems fair enough, but some of the schools will object. One may say that they are selfish and should have the success of the entire. Big Ten at heart. But that is something like the man on the corner insisting that the rich man divide Ills wealtli with him. What would the poor man do if lie were in the capitalist's shoes? So there you are. There Is likely to be much talk at the coming meeting, but probably little action on any such radical departure. What do you say, Major Griffith, Big Ten High Commissioner of Athletics? v * * ♦ One should not be too severe on the losers in college football. How would YOU like to practice hard all week only to go out each Saturday and take a beating? How much pepper .would .Y’OU have In the final contests of the year? Some of you who criticise so freely-—would YOU get out there and play half as hard as some of those young men after meeting reverses all season? No, you wouldn’t. You'd QUIT. We ran fell it by the way you talk. * * * IOOTBALL COACHES, like the little fellow in the u__J comic strips, “know their business." An outsider who mentions something usually is frowned upon. But we are brave —vera brave—so far away. Here’s a couple of questions for Mr. Zuppke and Mr. Wilce of Illinois and Ohio State, respectively: First, “Zupp,” old boy, why did you keep Peters wrapped up In his blanket for three-quarters of that Ohio State game? He showed plenty while he was in there In the last period even if he did miss that kick which would have tied the Bcore? And "Doc,” old fella, why didn’t you give that streak of lightning, Eby, more of an opportunity in the Michigan game? When he got In there he went to town. You kept him out against Illinois until part of the second quarter was over. Then how be did ramble. We know these two coaches have perfectly good answers to these questions. We are curious, that’s all * * * What's in a name? t you ask. Well, just as an example, Yale and Harvard played to an audience of 80,000 at the Yale Bowl last Saturday. That’s “what’s In a couple of names.” What did It matter to that assembly that the two participants had experienced a very unhappy season. It was Yale and Harvard playing' their annual game. * * • SHE rule makers in football have a terrible time convincing the boys what the regulations are supposed to do. The gridders pay very little attention to the five yard penalty Inflicted for two Incomplete forward passes In a series of downs. Ts they want to pass, they pass. This was the rule that caused much commotion last year when It was put through. Some of the coaches and sports writers said it would do away with forward passing. It has had about as much effect upon the game as telling a little boy to keep out of the jam or hell be spanked. And last week Ames against the Kansas Aggies added the straw that broke the camel’s back. After all that trouble about fixing up a new rule on the safety, Ames pulled the old strategy of an intentional downing of the ball behind its own goal, thus giving the opponents two points, rather than risking a fumble or a blocked punt. The final upset score was Ames, 3; Kansas Aggies, 2. You know, the rule says tills year that the ball, after a safety, (nut be put in play on the 20Ward line by a kick. But Ames did not seem to care. * * • The Army and Navy teams are smart They play after the season is over for most of the other elevens and get reams and reams of publicity—not that they need any help to fill those 100,000 seals at Soldiers’ Field, Chicago, next Saturday. • • • We see that lowa loses only four football players this year. This is not a great deal to cheer about. The club finished In the Big Ten cellar with Chicago and Indiana, •the Hawkeyea should worry •bout the old players—they should t wax* now oo*

Four Notre Dame Players Honored— Indiana and Purdue Have Two Each— Wabash, Franklin, De Pauw Listed. With Notre Dame holding a national rating as undefeated, and Purdue, nestling on the fourth rung the Western Conference percentage ladder, the curtain fell in Hoosierdom last Saturday, closing a great year of gridiron activity among the colleges. The Irish stepped into the limelight by defeats of Minnesota, Northwestern and Army. Northwestern shares the title honors in the Big Ten this ye£r. Army is rated as one of the best in the East. If Notre Dame can invade the Western coast Dec. 4, a id return a victor over University of Southern California the Hoosier club will have a good claim for national honors.

At the outset of the season, Notre students boasted ot, a back field pomposed of “Four Mules,” a contrast tQ the “Four Horsemen’’ of 1924, w-hen the Irish were acclaimed National champions. The season has decided that Knute the wonder coach, has not four mules, but at least ten great baekfleld men. One of them, Flanagan, is an All-American possibility. Other men on the team who received favorable mention in the East as All-American timber were Voedisch and Wallace, ends; Mayer, guard; and Boeringer, center. Purdue, under the guidance of lames Phelan, enjoyed a fine sear sfm. After years of wait they defeated Chicago. Wisconsin was held to a tie, and the Navy was played to a standstill, the Boilermakers 'osing by a scant three points, 17 to 14. The season was closed with a 24 to 14 victory over the ancient rival, Indiana. Green Material. Indiana, with its new coach, Pat Page, did all that was expected with green material. Wabash closed wi'h a 6 to 0 victory over De Pauw, their bitter rival. Both DePauw and Wabash defeated Butler, which had a very bad year, after an auspicious start. Other, teams that played fine ball were Danville Normal; Muncle Normal and Franklin. The above selections speak for themselves, Flanagan, as has been said, is a national figure. Wilcox, likewise, was one of the best in the Big Ten. Bennett was about all the offensive threat Indiana had. Koransky was a smasher. He is also a fine defensive player. It took two such players as Flanagan and Wilcox to push St.urtridge of De Pauw to the second team. In his last year he played the ball expected of him since l\is matriculation, but which did not 1 appear until this season. Bennett and Nelmlc are similar type players and It is rather expected that the Indiana flash playing behind a stronger line would have been a real wonder Kincaid was one of the giant linemen that made the Franklin team what it was. The Baptists did not have much offense except Chapin, Anderson Selected. Anderson, of DePauw, was one of the leading ends of the State. This is another instance where it is purely the opinion of the writer as to superiority over Wallace of Notre Dame. Loer was the mainstay of the Wabash line. Mayer, we say again, is All-American timber. The second team contains some gTeat players, and even the third team boasts of some exceptional choices for that rating. Hoosierdom was filled with sparkling players as the fans will testify who saw some thrilling games during the 1926 season. SEASON OPENER TONIGHT Y. M- C. A.

JUST WHERE ARE WE IN THIS H. S. GRID TANGLE? Emerson of Gary, by Defeat of South Bend, Appears to to Be Strongest in State —Other Teams Have Claims.

A decisive victory by Emerson of Gary over South Bend High School football team last Saturday at South Bend gave the Steel City rooters a firmer foothold for their arguments as to the clairhs of Emerson on the State interscholastio title. Other clubs, however, have not been defeated and it is hard to convince HARD AT IT Army and Navy Teams In Final Heavy Workouts. Bu United Press „„ WEST POINT, N. Y., Nov. 23. The Army held its last heavy practice session for the Army-Navy game Monday, under arc lights. The players were put through a heavy workout, including kicking and passing, but there was no scrimmage. ANNAPOLIS. Md., Nov. 23. Coach Bill Ingram has picked the better part of his line-up for the game with the Army in Chicago, Saturday. He is uncertain, however, whether he will start Hoerner or Osborn at center or Goudge or Schuber at quarter back.

them that they are not in the running. At this time Emerson and Mishawaka, with three victories each, have 1.000 percentages and an equal claim to the title of the Indiana high school Big Ten title. A cup will be awarded each of them at the annual meeting here Dec. 11 at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. However, in the State, Jasonvllle, with a clean slate, but with one more game to be played Thanksgiving day with Linton, is boasting of claims to the title and announce they will herald their team State champions if a victory is gained Thursday. Undefeated Shortridge of Indianapolis and Noblesville are two other undefeated teams. Their victories are not as impressive, however, as those of the northern and southern teams. This is the way the manipulators of the dope tell it to you. Mishawaka barely nosed out a one-point victory, 7 to 6, over South Bend. Surely a 20 to 0 defeat handed them by Emerson places the Gary club higher on the comparative , score basis than Mishawaka. South Bend traveled to the far south corner of the State and defeated Central of Evansville, 13 to 0, making them much stronger than Central. In the South Jasonvllle defeated Reitz High of Evansville overwhelmingly, but last Saturday along came and turned a similar trick, which leads the dopesters to believe Central and Jasonvllle are about even in strength; South Bend stronger than both, Mishawaka *even with South Bend, with Emerson towering above them both. Then, to make the dope more scrambled, Gary nosed out a 3 to 0 victory over Wabash High School, due to a great place kick by Hughes. Marion thumped Wabash recently, 6-0. Mishawaka gave Marlon & good licking, too. So, now, Just where are we? COOLER TAKES SPIVEY Merrick and Sliarts Meet Tonight In BFilard Tourney. Louis Spivey met defeat in the State three-cushion billiard tourney Monday night by a score of 60 to SI. at the hands of Harry Cooler, in 95 innings. Each had a high run of four. Cooler obtained an early lead and maintained a fast pace until he was out of Spivey’s reach. Dick Merrikan and Vio Sharts are scheduled for tonight.

NATIONAL RANKING AT STAKE Notre Dame. Stanford. Navy and Alabama Seen as Class of Nation. B> Henry L. Farrell I titled Press Staff Corresoondcnt NE.W YORK, Nov. 23.—With the football season finished In several sections of the country and a number of sectional champions officially established, arguments turn to the national rating of the teams. Alabama, winner of the conference championship and Loyola are two great teams in the Soutli Southern Methodist, winner of the Southwestern conference champion ship must have a good team; Michigan and Northwestern, tied for the Western conference championship, have to be strong teams in strong company; Nebraska, although not the champion in the Missouri Valley conference, probably has the best club now- and Regis College has made quite a name In the mountain district. The Haas Notre Dame, Stanford. Navy and Alabama are established, however, as the great teams of the season. Notre Dame heat Northwestern and the Army; Stanford cleaned up everything in the Far West and Alabama mopped up In tile South; Navy is just one of several undefeated teams remaining In the East, but the Navy defeated Purdue. Drake. Princeton, Colgate and Georgetown and defeated Michigan. one of the strongest teams. Games that are scheduled to come and post-season games that may he arranged may clarify the situation or may make it more scrambled. If Notre Dame beats Southern California, it will have a record good enough for first claim, but if Alabama and Stanford play and Stanford beats Alabama. Stanford will have a claim just as good and if Alashould beat Stanford, Alabama’s claim can't be tossed out. • Possibilities I If Southern California sho.uld beat Notre Dame —and Notre Dame is not a cinch bet and Alabama beats Stanford, then Alabama would look like number one. But the Navy- has to be figured. If the Navy beats the Army Saturday in Chicago. Navy’s rating will be hard to establish, but the argument will be made that Navy beat Colgate on a lucky break and just skimmed through against Princeton and Georgetown. Among ihe other undefeated teams in the East, Brown has to hr considered, but too much notice may have been given to Brown’s victories over Dartmouth. Yale and Harvard, victories over teams that would have been a national sensation a few years ago, but Dartmouth, Yale and Harvard were below first class rating this year. Brown also has a tough game with Colgate, a team which was outlucked by the Navy and one that has been better all season than the record shows. 00STERBAAN IS CAPTAIN Great End Honored by Michigan Football Team.
