Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, Nov. 2—Bill Roper and his Princeton Tigers will spend the week-end in the west Saturday. They will play the unbeaten Ohio Staters in the mos*. important intersectional game the season has developed so far. It St Neither team has been beaten, Though Virg" iia held the Tigers to a 0-0 score. Because of this latter incident and other sustaining data obtainable from comparative scores the Buckeyes have been made a sort of popular favorite. tt n tt YOU CAN'T STRAIGHT PACT THAT DR. JACK W^ LC _^, S CHILDREN HAVE PLAYED MORE IMPRESSIVELY THIS SEASON, AS FAR AS IT HAS GONE, THAN DR. BILL ROPERS CHILDREN. BOY, BRING ME THOSE STEAMING STATISTICS. tt tt tt NOW you can see for yourself. Here the Staters have played four games and won them all, scoring 83 points against a combined total of seven. Michigan was the only team to cross the Ohio line, and this touchdown grew out of a blunder. tt tt And what has the Tiger done? Played four, won three, tied one. All told the team has scored 100 points, but 97 of them were made against a couple of Big Boy Petersons, as you might say, 50 against Vermont and 47 against Lehigh. tt tt tt DR. ROPERS CHILDREN WERE LUCKY TO BEAT CORNELL BY THREE POINTS, THOUGH IN FAIRNESS IT MUST BE ADMITTED THAT SOME OP HIS NICEST AND MOST GREATLY ADMIRED CHILDREN WERE SITTING ON THE BENCH THAT DAY.

AS for the 0-0 score with Virginia, well that was one of those early season games and they don’t count, especially when you fail to win them. This same Virginia team was beaten 34-0 by Vanderbilt last Saturday—a team that, in turn, has been scored on by Colgate, Texas and Tulane but there is nothing to be gained by lugging all these dismal facts in. Football and chow mein are too complicated as they stand. an tt THE LAST TIME BILL INVADED THE WEST WITH A TEAM HE PUT ON A WIG-LIFTING SHOW. THIS WAS IN ’22 WHEN THE TIGERS CAME FROM BEHIND TO BEAT STAGG S MAROONS AT CHICAGO. 21-19, IN WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED THE MOST THRILLING FOOTBALL GAME THE SUDDEN DEATH VILLAGE HAS EVER INHALED. tt It tt THE big jolt came in the final quarter. The Tigers were trailing 18-7, and even Scarface A1 would have bet his last machine gun that Chicago couldn’t lose. tt tt u The quarter was about five minutes gone when the Tigers got possession of the ball inside their own ten-yard line. Cleaves droppe4 back and flung a long forward to Gorman, who was downed on his own forty-five. The insolent daring of the maneuver unsc.lled the Maroons, and presently a fumble occurred which Gray gathered in and ran for a touchdown. tt tt tt A LITTLE LATER A POOR PUNT GAVE THE TIGERS THE BAIL, ON CHICAGO'S 23-YARD-LINE AND IN FIVE MORE PLAYS THE BALL WAS OVER AGAIN FOR THE WINNING POINTS. WONDER IF, BY ANY CHANCE, THE DOCTOR HAS ANOTHER WILD WEST SHOW LIKE THAT LEFT IN HIS OLD CARPET BAG?

2 Big Games Excite Fans in Far West Cardinals to Meet Trojans; Oregon to Oppose Golden Bears. BY CARL H. BENNETT, United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.—Football on the Pacific coast will reach a climax Saturday when four members of the coast conference, each with an opportunity to finish in first place, engage in two contests on California gridirons. The Cardinals of Stanford university meet Southern California at Palo Alto in one of the annual football classics of the west. The university of Oregon plays the University of California’s Golden Bears at Berkley In an equally important game. Stanford and California were the favorities today, but the four teams were considered so evenly matched that a single error might provide upsets.

Nearly 200,000 to View Games Bn hiitcil Press NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Almost 200,000 fans are expected to see the three big football games in the east Saturday. The estimated crowds follow: Yale-Dartmouth at New Haven, 75,000. Notre Dame-Penn State at Philadelphia, 60,000. New York-Georgetown at New York, 60,000. Total, 195,000.

(Today) Danville at Evansville. The Hoosier state today was prepared for another typical November week-end, one of those footballing Saturdays. Danville and Evansville were to open the week-end hostilities this afternoon at Evansville.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Welch Enjoys Nailing ’Em Bn XPA Service Lafayette, ind., Nov. 2. Most football players who are back field performers admit they get their greatest pleasure from carrying the ball. In that, “Pest” Welch of Purdue is different. “I get more fun out of making a good tackle than anything else,” he commented recently. “Take that Purdue-Indiana game last year. I had more fun in that battle than I ever had in a football game before. The reason is I made a lot of tackles and that’s what I like. I like to nail ’em!”

Cruising In Sportland

DARTMOUTH doesn’t need a football coach, it needs a medical director. The Big Green school up in the New Hampshire hills must have a football field that could stand some spading. Hardly on evening passes but one or more grid warriors are carried off, undressed and put to bed. A few days ago the Dartmouth hospital list, including casualties among regulars and scrubs, numbered twenty. And that’s a pretty high count for modern football. 11 a m Knute Rocknie’s new full back discovery is on the sidelines. Moon Mullins is his name and he made good in a day against Drake, only to be left behind when Notre Dame departed for the east to play Penn State. Poor Moon received a damaged leg while making his brilliant debut. B tt tt YES. IT'S TURNING OUT TO BE A TOUGH SEASON ON BALL LUGGERS WHO OPERATE FROM THE FULL BACK POSITION. THERE'S MUCH BRUTE STRENGTH IN MANY FORWARD WALLS THIS YEAR AND THE ACE PLUNGERS ARE FINDING THEIR PATHS BESET WITH DYNAMITE. tt It tt JUDGE LANDIS, boss ruler of baseball, found it necessary to slap the Chicago White Sox on their pocketbooks. All because of the manner in which the So:; regulars cut up the Chicago city series melon. Shires. Blackerby and Swanson had been voted half shares. They beefed, and Landis took a hand and awarded them full shares. There may be an aftermath to the row next spring when the athletes go back to work. tt n a THE IDEA IS NOT TO EXASPERATE COMMISSIONER LANDIS. HE MADE THAT PLAIN TO THE SOX BY TAKING THEIR POOL AND CUTTING IT UP ACCORDING TO HIS VIEWS. AND HE CAUSED THE SOX CLUBHOUSE BOY TO BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS AGAIN BY SUPPING HIM A HALF SHARE AMOUNTING TO $4lO.
