PLAYING AFIELD With Billy Evans
I" -') FEW hours before the I Princeton-Yale game I chatIL3 ted with a former Princeton star, close to Bill Roper. In reply to my query as to how he doped the outcome, he said: “Princeton has a great team, but if the game is close and it is hard
pressed to hold a scant' lead, it may prove unequal to the occasion. Not because of lack of courage, but lack of poise. “The Princeton team is largely made up of sophomores. Few of them ever have faced Yale. It will be a terrific
strain ror most of the youngsters and it is only natural that they may suffer from lack of experience in the final stages if the score is close.” * n n After the game was over and Yale had won in the closing minutes of play, I vividly recalled the comments of the Tiger star of six years back. nun CHANGED FIGHT OF LINE 1 LANCING over the list of players in the Princeton squad who were eligible for the Yale game, I find the names of fifteen sophomores and as many juniors. While Princeton was far from a one-man team, as a matter of fact the Tiger line-up was one of the best all-around combinations I have seen this year, it seems to me that the moment Center Howe passed from the gridiron, the Princeton line lost much of its power. Until he was forced out because of injuries with about 12 minutes to play, Howe held his own, despite the fact Charlesworth was pressing every minute. Fatigue more than injuries finally forced Coach Roper to withdraw Howe from the game. How he hated to go. He fought off five or six Tigers who sought to Induce him to depart from the field and it was not until the officials stepped into the picture that he consented to go. tt tt a WAS COSTLY TO TIGERS EHYSICALLY unfit to play, for he staggered to the sidelines as would a drunken man, Howe showed the fighting spirit every inch of the way, several times turning his head to where the teams were lined up as if debating as to whether or not he would return. I have since wondered if the picture of Howe as he left the field didn’t have its effect on the Princeton team. Certainly the Tigers’ play deteriorated after he retired. tt 8 tt Watch those sophomore Tigers next year. Princeton is due for another great team.
‘Texas’ Welch Shines as Purdue Downs Indiana; Other Hoosier Elevens Close Schedules
BY DICK MILLER Old King Football had his hand on the door knob today ready to close up shop for the season. He lingered only to await the outcome of one Turkey Day tilt and a Saturday matinee, before bidding farewell to Hoosier grid fans. Saturday, Indiana and Purdue closed their schedules at Bloomington with the annual conflict. Purdue walked off with the honors, 21 to 6, and did it with a team the Boilermakers have used in most of their season’s tilt, minus their great star, Capt. Chester (Cotton) Wilcox. It is not many coaches that had a player like Welch to step into the breech when a star such as Wilcox, wljo was groomed for all-American consideration, was injured. Wilcox injured his knee last week and it was up to Welch to go
Billy Peterson Keeps in Shape by Staying Busy Billy Peterson of Detroit, who comes here for a ten-round fight with Jimmie Klump of Newport in the Armory ring Tuesday night, is one of the most active boxers in the game. Boxing here Tuesday, Peterson goes to Milwaukee for a scrap on the 25th; Muskegon, Nov. 29; Cleveland, the first week in December, and Grand Rapids, Dec. 9. Since Peterson performed here at the Armory last spring he has defeated Emil Baksic, A1 iValther twice, Norm Genet twice, Johnny King and Farmer Todd Adams, all ten-round bouts. Billy also stopped the following: Young Fisher, two rounds; Jack Phillips, five; A1 Baird, four, and Burly Kuhns, one. On Nov. 2 Peterson stopped Young Fisher cold in the second round. A few weeks ago Young Fisher, outweighed fifteen pounds, stayed nine rounds with Joe Sekyra of Dayton.
S. S. Turners Cop Opening Net Tilt South Side Turners opened their net season at the Turner gym Sunday, dropping the Connersville H. S. A. A. squad, 34 to 28, before a large crowd. The opening half was a closefought affair and the south siders were holding a slim 17-15 margin at the gun. The fast pace slowed down the visitors in the last half and the locals drew away. E. Grimsley led the Turners’ attack, while Thatcher and C. Eberg played well defensively. Ellsbury and Wanley were the "Visitors’ stars. New Palestine Zions to appear here next Sunday.
Much Gridiron Action Scheduled for Thursday and Saturday
Blue Eleven Meets Gary on Thursday Shortridge Game With Froebel Arranged for Thanksgiving Day. Arrangements were completed today for a Thanksgiving day game between Shortridge High School and Froebel of Gary, to be played at Gary. The local eleven Friday annexed the city public high school football title by downing Manual, 33 to 0. Technical was dropped earlier in the year, 19 to 0. The Blue and White eleven received but one defeat during the fall, that to Stivers of Dayton in the season opener. Froebel is undefeated and is rated the strongest eleven in the northern end of the State. Head Coach Goldsberry, Athletic Director Simon P. Roache, Student Manager Tom Kelly and twenty-two Shortridge players will leave Indianapolis Wednesday morning, arriving at Michigan City in time for a short drill. The trip will be resumed Thursday morning. The game at Gary will start at 1 p. m. Local football critics, impressed with the showing of the Shortridge eleven, are of the opinion the game will reveal the true championship power of the northside eleven. Among the star players on the Gary club are Polizotto, speedy quarter, and Douglas, star Negro lineman. Stars on the Indianapolis squad are Capt. Lew Skinner, slashing half back and John Miller, big full back. PENNSY RAPS BUICKS Railroads Take Honors in Sunday Basket Contest, 31-22. Pennsylvania Railroad basket team defeated the Thomburg-Lewis Buick five, 31 to 22, in the opening Sunday tilt at the new Pennsy athletic plant. Pennsy grabbed an early lead and was ahead, 10 to 9, at the half.

against Indiana. Two touchdowns, sparkling interference, splendid punting and accurate pass heaving, was his contribution to victory and retention of the “Old Oaken Bucket.” Crimson Score First Indiana scored first and outplayed Purdue in the first half, which ended, 6-0. A splendid drive from midfield ended with Harrell carrying the oval over the line. A penalty cost Indiana the extra point. The tables turned in the second half, with Purdue doing the outplaying. Welch started the works with a thirty-yard return of a punt. The back field organized, and with a powerful drive, headed to the goal line and Welch planted the ball over after a series of line thrusts. Caraway entered the fracas to boot the extra point.

Galaxy of Football Contests to Be Presented Thanksgiving Day. WEEK-END FEATURES Army-Navy, N. D. Vs, Southern California. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Football is not yet ready to relinquish its hold on the center of the sport page and although the equilibrium of the gridiron pastime is not what it should be after a topsytury season of upset after upset, the sport monarchs are preparing to hand out one of the greatest weeks of “pigskin” pastiming. A galaxy of pleasing conflicts over the chalk marks will be presented in various parts of the land on Thursday, Thanksgiving day, and another batch Saturday virtually will put the lid on one of the most exciting football seasons in recent years. The East and South boast the majority of important games Thanksgiving. On the Atlantic seaboard a quartet of tilts is exciting the attention of followers in that section. They are Penn State and Pittsburgh, Cornell and Pennsylvania, Colgate and Brown and Syracuse and Columbia, all more or less features from the ancient rivalry standpoint. . Georgia vs. Alabama The Georgia-Alabama engagement is the outstanding fray in the Southland. Others are Tennessee at Kentucky, Alabama Poly at Georgia Tech, Southern Methodist at Texas Christian, and Washington and Jefferson at West Virginia. One of the big intersectional affairs of the day will be staged in the Missouri Valley where New York University and Nebraska meet. Another Valley contest. Oklahoma at Missouri, also is drawing its share of attention. James Millikin and Bradley Tech, secondary mid-western elevens will provide some action for Illinois fans while the Oregon and Washington meeting is the only coast game worthy of note. Thrills on Saturday Saturday will provide all the thrills and action the most ardent gridiron fan could desire. Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame squad is to tangle with the University of Southern California Trojans at Soldiers’ Field, Chicago, before 110,000 persons, while the annual service clash between Army and Navy will be enacted at the Polo Grounds, New York. This pair of conflicts will form the main jamborees of the week. Other games Saturday bring together Holy Cross and Boston College in the East and Santa Clara and St. Marys in the West. A third fray, between Carnegie Tech and Oregon Aggies, will provide more intersectional interest.
Welch punted out of bounds at the ten-yard line. After Indiana was hurled for losses on line plays, Balay stood behind his goal line to punt. The ball soared high, but not far. With but twenty yards to go, Welch did the most of the plunging, and in four plays scored. Caraway again booted the extra point. With the score standing 14-6 and the last quarter rapidly passing, Wilcox entered the game. He was in only a minute when he was injured and carried from the field. Welch opened up with a passing attack. When an Indian half back hit the ball toward the ground he batted it into Harmeson’s hands. He ran forty yards to the goal. Welch booted the extra point. Stars of the fray for Indiana were Randolph, W. Catterton, Balay, Ben-

THE EnUIAiN AEOL US TIMES
Yale Season Marred Only by One Blot Georgia Registers Lone Defeat of Blue; Service Clash Next. Bit United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Up in New Haven there was joy today, for the Big Blue team has had a season marred by only one defeat—and that, to the Yale way of thinking, more than made up by the 14-0 victory over Harvard Saturday. Yale rode through a season, defeating the Army, Princeton, Dartmouth, Maryland, Brown. Bowdoin. Only Georgia—which, incidentally, is pointing toward a mythical national championship—registered a defeat over the Blue. It was one of the most successful seasons in years for the Eli and marked a close, according to announcements, of T. A. D. Jcnes’ reign as head of the Yale coaching staff. 1 Saturday found many interesting games in the East and few upsets. New York University swamped Allegheny, 81 to 0, and started west to meet Nebraska Thanksgiving day. Brown won its first game since early season. 31 to 13, over New Hampshire: Temple flashed to a 1913 victory over Buclcnell; Detroit University used the pass well and beat Carnegie Tech, 12-7; Georgetown came to New York and defeated Fordham, 38-0; Holy Cross defeated Boston University, 19-0. Navy and Army both won easy victories and saved their full strength for the service game in New York Saturday—the crowning point of the eastern season.

nett and Harrell. For Purdue, Wilson, Prentice, Eickman and Koransky. Wabash ended up a hectic season with a victory over its ancient rivals, the De Pauw Tigers, 13 to 7. After playing a scoreless first quarter and most of the second, a long heave of forty yards, Bayer to Thornburg, was good for a Wabash touchdown. Bayer kicked the point giving the Scarlet a 7 to 0 edge at the half. In the third period, De Pauw made a brilliant drive of sixty yards with Scott, Blake and Brandenburg carrying the ball. Brandenburg skirted end for a touchdown and Anderson booted the extra and tying point. After the Tigers had halted two Wabash drives inside the 5-yard zone in the last period, (Continued on Page 13)

The Illini—unheralded at the start of the season —have come into the glory that is rightly theirs by establishing a solid claim to the Big Ten Conference championship, winning five games and losing none. Zuppke’s team was tied by one eleven—Ames—but, the lowa State team is not a member of the Conference. Minnesota, a powerful team, likewise closed its season without a defeat, but one blot—a tie with Indiana—spoiled the Gopher claim for the title. Leaders Beat Wolverines Michigan, with one of the hardest schedules of any Big Ten eleven, came through the season with a satisfactory record. The only teams which beat the Wolverines were the two Conference leaders. The University of Chicago broke even, with three victories and three defeats. The Maroons finished higher in the standing than followers of the team had dared hope, due mainly to the work of Capt. Ken Rouse, smashing center. Purdue also broke even, with two defeats and two victories. In addition, Purdue walloped Harvard. The Boilermakers had the satisfaction of trouncing their ancient enemy, Indiana. Two-Star Eleven
Northwestern, a two-star football eleven, played good football when “Tiny” Lewis and Waldo Fished were able to compete, but they were crippled most of the season, and without them the Wildcats’ claws were clipped. The Ohio State team, also highly regarded last September, had the same record as Northwestern three defeats and two victories. A stiff schedule and over-confidence balked the Scarlet and Gray hopes. Indiana had perhaps the best team in a decade and came through the season with two defeats, a victory and the tie with Minnesota—the high mark of its season. Wisconsin, in its. first season under Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite was a big disappointment to Badger boosters. Although the Wisconsin eleven played well against stronger teams, it crumbled against the weaker elevens, and a victory over Purdue was the lone Badger boast. lowa, one of the teams which beat Wisconsin, did just about what was expected in the season as a whole. The Hawkeyes played gallantly, but futilely against strong teams.-

Mass., Nov. 21.—A few miles from here lies a pictureque little Massachusetts college known as Tufts, which has the only unbeaten and untied football team in the East. The performance of the Tufts eleven in playing eight games against opponents of its own size and athletic strength and winning their all is noi as remarkable or as interesting, however, as the unique training program whereby , Coach Arthur Sampson made this
average of 160 or better. Among the teams the A. C. Bradley is out in front with a record of twenty-four wins lo three defeats. The Nancy Hart girls are next at twenty-one to six.

Court Battle of Jacks Is Begun Again
No Further Delays Expected as Dempsey, Kearns Square Off. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEWARK. N. J., Nov. 21.—'With his legal forces drawn back into line, Jack Kearns was ready today to touch off the first of the ammunition by which he hopes to take a third of a million dollars from Jack Dempsey, his former partner and former heavyweight champion. After a delay of two court calendar days, brought about by the illness of Dempsey’s ihief counsel, it was said today no further delays were anticipated either by settlement out of court or other legal maneuvers.

The scrub team had a schedule of its own, playing six games with other schools and having fun such as scrubs never dreamed of. Tackling dummies and charging machines, against which football players in other schools batter themselves in early season practice, were discarded altogether. “A sound man will tackle hard; a man with shoulders lame from scrimmage or plugging at the tackling dummy can’t, even if he wants to,” explained Sampson. The training table was abolished. 1 “It seemed to me as though the jys might get on each others nerves if they had to eat their meals together,” said the coach. “I let them'eat where they chose.**' On some days, Sampson took the team to the movies instead of driving it through grass drill and other favorite conditioning devices of football -aches.
