West Point Gridiron Squad Lines Up as Potentia l *Champion 9 of Nation

Army Still to Face Notre Dame, Nebraska and Stanford. OTHERS SHINE IN EAST Cadets, However, Boast Most Imposing Record. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stall Correspendent NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—0n1y seven eastern football teams have maintained perfect records during the first half of the season which was completed with Saturday’s games. The Army, with notable victories over S. M. U., Harvard and Yale, stands out not only as the east's leading team, but a potential national champion if it can conquer Notre Dame, Nebraska and Stanford in approaching games. The six other eastern teams without a defeat or tie to mar their records are New York university, Carnegie Tech, Georgetown, Boston college, Temple and Villa Nova. None of these teams rank with Army on the basis of their October records. Two good but beaten elevens bounded back Saturday and scored impressive victories, Harvard licking Dartmouth, 19 to 7, and Navy downing Pennsylvania, 6 to 0. Navy’s touchdown was the second scored by the Middies in five games. z Seven teams tasted defeat for the first time. They were Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Tufts, Williams and Duquesne. None of these teams had been tied or beaten until last Saturday. Army’s 18-to-6 victory over Yale was the outstanding feat in the east and Chris Cagle’s two long runs for touchdowns—sl yards around Yale’s right end and 75 yards off Yale’s left tackle—the greatest individual performance of the day.

Big Leagues No Lure for Bricklayer Omaha Pitcher Won’t Give Up Job for Baseball. By NEA Service OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 29.—Although he has been offered contracts by the St. Louis Cards, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, Floyd Carlson toils daily here as a bricklayer. He has

turned down all contracts to date. Carlson was the leading pitcher of the Omaha amateur baseball associa ti o n this summer and attracted attention of big league scouts when he struck out 18 opposing batters in one game. “I have the offers, all right,” he says, “but why

should I turn down a sl2-a-day job, good 365 days in the year, to play baseball and not make as much? “The best offer I’ve received is $2,500 for the season and a bonus of SSOO for signing, and that isn’t what I make now. If the offers get higher maybe I’ll take one.” Should Carlson play with one of the major league clubs he would have to give up his profession as a bricklayer.

Dope Bucket Takes Hard Tumble in Midwestern Gridiron Circles lowa Leads Assault; Hanover Overturns Indiana Central; Big Ten Teams-in Hard Games.

BY DICK MILLER ‘‘Who socked the football dope bucket?” The replies might resemble answers to a query of “Who wants candy?” at a kiddies’ theater party. The ayes come from every direction. Os course the ones most familiar to Indiana grid fans were lowa’s victory over Minnesota, Purdue’s rout of Chicago, and the victory of Hanover over Indiana Central college. One might say the bucket was jarred a bit by the narrow margin victory of Illinois over Northwestern, likewise the small margin of superiority shown by Wisconsin over Michigan, and the decisive win of Earlham over Manchester. Butler beat Washington “U,” 13-7. Maroons Fought Gamely Just think of the joy in the hearts of 5,000 fans who traveled to Chicago to witness the annual clash between the Boilermakers and the Maroons as they marched behind that monstrous Purdue band in the parade celebrating Purdue’s 40-to-0 victory. The best to be said about Chicago was that they took the beating gamely. Next in prominence was the “presto chango” stunt pulled by Butler at the local bowl. Washington of St. Louis seemed about to cart victory westward when Curly Hinchman deemed it time to enter the hero class. He hit the Bears’ line late in the fourth quarter crashing over the goal line, ending a thrilling Bulldog drive down the field. The point after touchdown was < missed and the Blue trailed, 7-6.! With only a few minutes to play and the local collegians one point behind, Hinchman dashed off tackle and ran twenty-seven yards to score again. Royse, who had played brilliantly with Hinchman, added the extra point. Mullins Steps Out The west was not surprised at the 32-6 victory of Notre Dame over Drake. Most are glad to hear Rockne has another full back candidate of promise. Mullins ripped the Drake line to shreds Saturday. Colerick, Chevigny, Carrideo, Nash and Shay scored touchdowns. King took a long Drake pass in the final quarter and raced to goal. The Irish seem intent on scoring their victories every other Saturday. Ohio State was too much for Indiana. Dr. Wilce, Buckeye mentor, sent in a powerful line and some clever backs. In the second quarter ! Ohio State intercepted an Indiana j pass in midfield and the great ball j toters, Eby, Holman and Corey j mixed an assortment of runs and passes to score. Kriss and Eby made some spectacular runs in the third quarter and the latter scored after short sprint. Indiana fought gamely before a home-coming crowd of 16,000. Harrell gave crimson fans something to cheer about as he continually outpunted Eby.

That Indiana Central upset at Hanover took place on a muddy gridiron with the Central players trying to match pace with the Hilltoppers minus mud cleats. The Greyhounds slipped and slid, while the Hanover boys ran arotmd them to win, 18-0. It was the first defeat of the season for the strong Indiana Central team. Frankliu was no match for De Pauw, tuned for the Army game next Saturday. The Tigers added another lopsided defeat to the Baptists list for the season, 33-0. Franklin has yet to win this season. Wabash emerged victorious over Indiana State Normal at Crawfordsville, 27-6. Pete Vaughan kept his offense moving' steadily and the Cavemen scored a touchdown in each quarter. Chesters Are Downed Manchester college traveled into Richmond Saturday for a tilt with the Quakers and met defeat, 14 to 0. The Earlham team was the aggressor throughout. Oakland City defeated Evansville, 19 to 2. Coach Pinnick, who a week ago chose to take defeat from Indiana Central, 97 to 0, scored an impressive victory. Great rivalry exists between Central Normal of Danville and Ball Teachers college at Muncie. The past few years Danville held the edge. Saturday Coach Cook took a crippled eleven to Muncie and suffered defeat, 12 to 7. Rose Poly was no match for the

Lloyd Parker, 1707 Mllburn St., Indianapolis, Ind., says: “I had intense shooting pains across my back, every joint and muscle was sore. I was a nervous wreck owing to night calls that interferred with my rest. I was unable to get a night’s sleep until I used Argray tablets. I used three bottles of Argray tablets, relieving the kidney trouble, restoring my "health.” Argray tablets help throw off the poison of the blood, relieving rheumatism, neuritis and other ailments, leaving you feeling years younger.

A Jersey Tale fijt Times Special Notre dame, ind., Oct. 29.—Johnny Law’s jinx has been broken and the Notre Dame campus had a big laugh today as the story circulated. It seems that Law is not superstitious and has been hanging on to his No. 1? sweater in every game. Going to his locker to dre's for the Saturday game he found old “13” missing. It was reported. Knute Rockne grinned and had Law given a new jersey—No. 64. And for the first time this year Law stayed in the game without being seriously injured, and he came out of the contest in fine shape.
