__i 13 wish to nominate a Chilly cago University student to J take Boob McNutt's place any time the latter young gentleman Wishes a vacation. The Windy City lost six ArmyNavy game football tickets at a busy corner. That was bad enough but instead of keeping still about it, he told several bystanders of his misfortune. They “helped” him hunt. Jh fact, a near riot started. It .Ms needless to say that the ducats were not recovered. That boy is so dumb he probably thinks lie can get another half dozen of the paste boards at any Army and Navy store. * ,* * i We saw somewhere that a blind football fan was going to attend the annual Cadet-Middie grid struggle in Chicago. Some of those 100,000 on the outer edges might just as well be so afflicted. •* i ♦ It seems as though there is some sort of a football game up in Chicago, Saturday. Have you heard anything about it? * * * HE Big Ten Weekly magazine \ reminds us of g__J something spoken of before in this column —the absurdity, even in the mOat outstanding cases, of calling any college football team the “national champions.” “There ain’t no sich' animal” in our estimation and we have never been guilty of trying do give some eleven an honor that is impossible to decide. As is pointed out in the Big Ten article it would be necessary for a team to play some twenty games, at least, in an average season to really get a true line on national championship claims. When it is impossible to decide a title in the Western Conference satisfactorily, and with the same tiling holding true in all sections, how on earth can a “national champion” of the gridiron be crowned? Those who should be crowned are the ones suggesting such, a thing. Comparative scores do not mean a great deal in football. That has been proved time after time. Any “national champion” is just a good team and a good guess by the dopesters. Dartmouth was hailed as the hesUin the land last year by many, barjust what did that teaijj do? It defeated Chicago, Harvard and Cornell, none of which had an exceptionally strong club. Alabama • also ■ was great, but does that mean, that the southerners w€re “champions”? ’ Even flic great "Four Horsemen” team of Notre Dame in 1924; what of that'qutflt? No doubt it was one of the best clubs cv(*r to step on a field. The splendid eleven was acclaimed as the “national champion.” In reality it did not play a single team that was champion in its own section. It did not- bent a single team that had not been defeated by some other club. A “Rational champion” is only an opinion based on comparative scores and gfnerofl showing. It is never an established fact: • , fans in this city I H j believe the Army will deI —I feat the Navy. This is largely due to the mighty struggle put up against Notre Dapie. The Cadets are favorites more because of the one game they lost, than because of all the games they won. Army is favored in the betting at 10 to 8. The Navy has not been defeated. The 10 to 0 victory over Michigan snakes the dopesters hesitate before going too' strong on the Army's .chances. AH dope points jo a stubbprn tussle. We favor the ARMY.

Public to Watch Army-Navy Parade, But Seeing Game; That’s Different. By Henry L. Farrell United Tress Staff porresnondent CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—There was every evidence in Chicago today, that a football game - was to be staged * tomorrow between the United States Army and the United States Navy fog the service football championship and a claim on the national college title. Chicago had every reminder of the game—but a ticket. The bright lighted sections of the “Loop ‘district” were festooned with West Point and colors; the smart shops had enublems of the two service academies on display more prominently than their best wares; the gray of West Point and the blue Os the NaVy were conspicious In the hotels where the two teams were quartered; the papers were filled with columns and columns by sport writers, editorial writers and society writers — But the great Chicago public—as Tammy Hall shouts the public in New York—was entitled to only that much of the show unless the public was willing to pay $47.50 for a seat that wasn’t any too good. There have been ma% words printed about the ticket scandal and It does seem, after making a. search for a ticket, that the scalpers have a good supply. * All They Will See The experience here recalled the remark of the dean of the ticket brokers in New York, who, when he had. been notified that this year’s game was to be staged In Chicago, said: “Let them have £ and then listen to the squawks.” That’s about all you can hear in Chicago today. The parade of the Cadets and the Midshipmen on their way from their hotels to the stadium, will be as much as a lftillion Chicago people can see rtf the spectacle. \ And this Is ope year with groat teams at each academy, when the football game should be than a display of perfect marching order. 1 J Just the Same With the exception of the clamor for tickets, the eve of the.game, was just like the setting for a big game (Continued on Page 25) ' >

BROWN TIED Colgate Spoils ‘iron Men’s’ Perfect Record. Bu Times Snccial PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Nov. 26. Brown University’s “Iron Men” fell victims J on Thanksgiving day to the fate which has upset would-be football champions in this fateful season. Colegate’s scrappy’ eleven held the Brunonians to a 10-10 tie, thus elimating Tuss McCleaughrey's team from the list of those which came through 1910 with an unbroken record of victories. Eishel, one of the greatest drop kickers in the east, tried for a field goal that would have brokdn tne tie In the closing minutes of play, but the ball hit the cross bar and bounded tulck upon the field. Earlier irg the second half, Mishel had put Brown in the lead with a beautiful drop kick from the 40-yard line, but 'the Colgate then opened up with a series of baffling forward passes in the final quarter and the Brunonians had to be content with a tie. Matching Brown in the quality of “Iron Men.” Colgate made but a single substitution during the game. Vaughn for Shaughnessy, while Edes replaced Cornsweet In the Providence backfield. FLOWING ON Alabama Crimson Tide Sweeps Over Georgia. Bn Times Snrrinl BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 26. The Crimson tide of Alabama engulfed University of Georgia eleven, 33 to 6. The “Bams” are undefeated this season. More than 17,000 persons saw Georgia crumble to defeat before the crashing line and brilliant forward passing of Alabama. Only in the last few minutes of pMy was the ftulldog able to score, when a Georgia back fell on the ball behind the Crimson goal, after a blocked punt. Alabama’s battering line and plunging backs messed up the wellpracticed plays of the Bulldogs, who seemed unable to complete any of their aerial or ground maneuvers. Alabama swept through the Georgia line without difficulty from the start.
