PLAYING AFIELD ■ With Billy Evans mEW athletes in any line of sport having reached stardom, are able to fully realize ■when they are slipping and seldom are they able to reach the conclusion that they are through. Walter Johnson, who has been an exceptional pitcher ever since he

came to the majors twenty years ago, has proved, as one would expect, that he is the rare exception to the rule that no sport celebrity knows when he is through. Johnson asked that he be given his unconditional release by W a shington

Evans

since he felt he *was more of a handicap than a help to the club he has served so long and well. The asking of waivers on the veteran will merely be a matter of formality and his request will then be granted. * * * HE PITCHED TO WIN mT was my very good fortune to wcrk the fir§t ball game Walter Johnson pitched in American League. On the anniversary of his twentieth year with the Washington club, President Johnson assigned me to that city to umpire that game. During the twenty years Walter Johnson starred in the American League, and to my way of thinking earned the right to be classed as the greatest pitcher of all time, I have seen him perform some remarkable feats. I umpired the series in which he 6hut out the New York Yankees in three successive games. I worked a dozen games in which he struck out lrom ten to fourteen men. Time and again I have seen Johnson strike out the side with the bases filled. On one occasion I saw him fan six in a row and he didn’t use over twenty-four balls to turn the trick. There may be another Walter Johnson in the minors but I have my doubts. Pitchers like him come only once in a lifetime. ** * , SMART OF WALTER mT was fitting that Walter Johnson, the most popular player in the history of the game, should retire before his work so retrograded that the shouts of “take him out” would become the college yell of the fickle fan. Most outstanding stars remain in the game too long and in the closing years of their career suffer indignities and criticism that take much of the edge off the many superlative feats they had previously performed. In all probability, Walter Johnson will retire from the majors, the only pitcher-who has never been subjected to abuse from the bleacherites. He’s smart.

Romney Has Put Bobcats in Grid Sun Versatile Montana State Coach Is Worthy Mentor; At Purdue Saturday. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 24. Coach Ott Romney, whose Montana state football team meets Purdue at the Ross-Ade stadium here next Saturday, is one of the most striking athletic personalities of the Northwest, and is outstanding for the reason that he plays a “lone hand” in athletics and does it successfully. Coach Romney directs four sports —football, basketball, track and baseball—besides, carrying the work as head of the department of physical education, acting as assistant dean of men, president of a Bozeman service club and doing much public speaking. Ott is one of five Romney brothers of Utah, all of whom have made unusual records in various lines of sports. He is a graduate of Montana State College and also holds a degree from Utah University, where for a year he was a star football and basketball player. At Montana, Romney made letters in football, basketball, baseball, track and tennis, and, to round out a busy career, was a member of the debating squad. After some high school coaching experience, Romney returned to Montana as coach. This was in 1923, when that school was not making much of a go in Rocky Mountain Conference athletics. In the past four and a half years he has brought .the Bobcats from a general slump to a place of importance.

Undefeated Western Conference Rivals to Clash at Urbana Stadium. / CHICAGO AT OHIO STATE Other Important Tilts in Middle West. BY CLARK B. KELSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—The feature game on the middle western football program this week-end will be at Urbana, where Michigan and Illinois, bitter rivals and both undefeated to date, clash in a game which is certain to have an important bearing on the final standing in the Big Ten Conference. Illinois, coached by Bob Zuppke, brought about the most important upset in mid-western football last Saturday by defeating the great Northwestern team, 7 to 6, and it would not be surprising to see Illinois defeat the hitherto unbeaten Wolverines. Michigan, however, showed more power than expected by defeating Ohio State, 21 to o—all of which means the Illinois-Michigan battle will be one of those bitterly contested games which may be decided by one point. Chicago Faces Test The University of Chicago, boasting a clean slate so far as conference games are concerned, goes to Columbus this week and despite two successive defeats Ohio State has suffered, it is expected that Chicago’s record will be scarred. Coach Stagg’s team upheld the honor of Western football Saturday by administering a 13 to 7 beating to Pennsylvania, but Ohio is certain to give Stagg far more trouble than did Penn. The only other game this week in which two Big Ten teams come together is the Minnesota-Wiscon-sin clash at Minneapolis. Minnesota is a top-heavy favorite to win this game following its. 38 to ■0 victory over lowa last Saturday. The Gophers apparently have come into their own following the disastrous tie with Indiana and unless “dope” is upset Wisconsin is due for a licking. The next best game in the midwest will be at South Bend, where Notre Dame meets Georgia Tech. The Irish continued their winning ways Saturday by defeating Indiana, 19 to 6. Northwestern’s Wildcats, who took their first *defeat since 1925 last Saturday, meet Missouri at Evanston this week. Pagemen Look Good Pat Page’s Indiana team, which has played better football this year than ever before, goes over to Cambridge Saturday and hopes to give Harvard its second defeat by a Big Ten team. Page’s boys held Minnesota to an unexpected tie and didn’t look so bad against Notre Dame. lowa plays Denver University at lowa City and Purdue meets Montana State at Lafayette in the other two games of the day. lowa and Purdue should win. Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois and Chicago are now the only Big Ten teams as yet undefeated by Conference opponents. But Minnesota was tied by Indiana, which means the Gophers cannot claim the title unless every other team in the conference is beaten or tied at least once. Chicago and Illinois both have so many tough games ahead that one defeat is almost certain, which makes it appear right now that the Michtgan-Minnesota game at Ann Arbor, Nov. 19, is likely to be the deciding game of the season.

ROCKNE HEADS NOTRE DAME ELEVEN FOR NATIONAL GRIDIRON CHAMPIONSHIP

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—This week in football finds Notre Dame taking a second important step toward establishing a strong claim to the national championship of 1927. In past years tne picking of a national gridiron, champion has proved impractical, because of the spotty, haphazard character of the intersectional games. If Notre Dame comes through with a clean slate this fall, few will fail to accord the Irish the national recognition they will have earned. Knute Rockne’s men already have beaten as good an eastern eleven as would give them a game, ‘“Navy Bill” Ingram’s fighting midshipmen from Annapolis. To make matters

Harmeson’s Field Goal Puts Over Kokomo Victory By Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 24.—The local American Legion independent football team and the Wabash A. C.s staged a great battle here Sunday, Kokomo winding, 15-12. The invaders put up a plucky fight, and it was in the last ten seconds of play that Harold Harmeson booted a thirty-yard place kick for the deciding points. A large crowd witnessed the fray. Kokomo scored first after a drive down the field, Fleischer going over. Fisher crashed through the line to score for Wabash and the contest was tied at the half, 6 to 6. Both kicks after touchdown were missed. Haynes, giant tackle on the local eleven, crashed into a Wabash ball carrier on the opening kick-off of the second half, and seized a fumbled ball and ran to goal. Wabash trailed only a short time until Reno caught” a long pass and scored. Both kicks for extra points were missed again and Harmeson’s field goal decided the contest.

It was by this score that Notre Dame beat the Navy at Baltimore, and the behavior of the Irish in the two games was much the same. In each case, the opponents got the jump when Rockne started his second team. As was the case w'ith the Navy, the Crimson scored a touchdown early in the first period.

Many Features in Fall Conflicts of Hoosier Collegiate Matches Irish Hang It on \.M.; Butler Knocks Off Tigers; Wabash Trips Colgate; Boilermakers Fall.

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Hoosier college football machines received just about an even break in Saturday’s gridiron contests, and despite a few upheavals of the antiquated bucket of dope it developed iiito a grand and, glorious week-end for the majority of the followers of the fall sport. Os nine contests involving State elevens, five were real Indiana battles while the other four happened to be with out-State squads. In the latter case two were marked up on the victory side of the ledger and two in the debit column. Down at Bloomington Knute Rockne was forced to call upon his “regular” regiment of cavalry to turn back the Indiana University threat, 19 to 6. The Crimson put up a real battle with the Notre Dame “shock troops” and pushed over a touchdown early in the first quarter. The Irish retaliated at the very start of the second session and Knute deemed it time to give his varsity a “show.” The boys, in turn, gave the many customers a run or two for their money. Bulldogs “Pepped Up” Butler’s Bulldogs ripped and slashed their way to a 25-to-6 triumph over the De Pauw Tigers. The Indianapolis eleven, In all probability, was given a dose of “pep” by Potsy Clark between halves and it was “just too bad” for the Methodists in third period when the Butlerites pushed over three touchdowns and a try for point. The first half, which ended in a 6-6 deadlock, was a fine battle. “The Banks of the Wabash” did not sound so well to the Colgate crew Saturday night after the Wabash eleven had administered a swift kick to the Maroons just below where the suspenders cross. The score was 7 to 0. It was Weist, Little Giant back, who carried the pigskin twenty-four yards around end for the sole score of the fracas. It was a national upset. Another case where the grid seers were force, hang their heads was tHfe Wisconsin-Purdue affair which wound up with the Boilermakers on the short end of a 12-to-6 count. The Badgers tacked up a -touchdown in each the second and third periods and the Lafayette squad, In a last desperate attempt, scored a touchdown in the last two minutes of play on a pass, Welch to Miller. Ralph (Tex) Welch again exhibited some stellar work and earned a number of cheers from the Badger rooters. Three Homecoming Tilts Franklin put some excellent touches to its homecoming game and downed the State Normal team, 6 to 0, In what probably was the most evenly matched fray of the day. The Solitary score was made in the initial session by Rake. Hanover’s homecoming tilt was not neatly so successful, the scrappy little Earlham aggregation from Richmond walking off with a 13 to 0 decision. Druley, Quaker end, scored both touchdowns and easily was the outstanding star of the contest. Another homecoming affair was staged at North Manchester and it turned out to be more of a circus than anything else. The Man-

A total of 132 points was registered against Lee College a week ago.

If the Irish can take the wind out of the "Golden Tornado” and get past Minnesota, the Army and Drake—not particularly dangerous opponents—there will be the big shot for final intersectional and national honors against southern California at Chicago, Nov. 26. The tilt at Soldiers’ field is expected to draw an immense throng of grid followers from all over the country. The Trojans have yet to prove themselves the best of the West, but they are coming halfway across the continent to represent the Pacific Coast, and if the Irish win that game along with the others there will be no strong point against withholding from them the title, “National Champions, 1927.”

OCT. 24 1927

Nine Elevens in East Still <*> Undefeated Six Clubs Have Claim to Atlantic Seaboard Grid Title. Bit United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—With the 1927 football season at the half-way mark every Eastern team has been scored upon and there remain only nine that have escaped a defeat or tie. Six powerful elevens have claims to supremacy along the Atlantic seaboard. They are Dartmouth, Washington and Jefferson, New York University, Princeton, Yale and Pittsburgh. Os these only Yale has lost a game and since that defeat was sustained in an intersectional game with Georgia it does not figure in the mythical Eastern championship race. Yale, in beating the Army Saturday, 10 to 6, showed more fight than a Blue team has exhibited in two seasons. This week Yale and Dartmouth meet in a game that may settle a lot of arguments before the season is over. New York U., leading the Eastern elevens on attack with a total of 213 points against 19 for their opponents, also has not been tested. The Violet will play Colgate this week and a little further along meet Penn State and Nebraska. Princeton came through nobly in downing a fast Cornell team, 21 to 10. The Tigers now face a let-up with William and Mary and then come battles with Ohio State and Yale that will determine the place of the Tigers in the football sun. Pittsburgh downed Carnegie. Tech Saturday for the city championship, 23 to 7, and the Carnegie touchdown was the first scored against, the Pitt crew this year. Washington and Jefferson showed its strength by ending Lafayette’s long string of victories, defeating the Easton team on its own grounds, 14 to 0. Other Eastern elevens which have escaped defeat or a tic are Blaine, Rochester, Tufts and George Washington. Artillery Polo Team Is Winner The 3rci Field Artillery won the first of a three-game polo series to decide the Ft. Harrison championship Sunday from the 11th Infantry team, 7 to 4. The largest crowd of the season was on hand at the Fort to witness the polo match The Artillery team composed of Lieutenants Carter, Thornton, Tate and Berg uncovered a smooth working offensive while the Infantry out • fit composed of Lieutenants Dulaney, Rees. Beal and Captain Delong displayed flashes of brilliancy.
