Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, Nov. 23.—From the standpoint of football, as distinguished from traditions—good old traditions!—the eye-popping game of the eastern week-end features the earnest young men of New York university and Carnegie Tech

at Forbes field in Pittsburgh. The team that wins that one will be a football team with no questions asked. The Carnegie lads haven’t blown a game all season, and I am told certain members of the Rothstein guild still at large will wager you six, .two or even, that they won’t blow any.

I I

Joe Williams

The Carnegie lads haven’t been fattening on the slothful offerings of pushovers, either. In their last four games they beat Washington and Jefferson, Pittsburgh; Georgetown and Notre Dame. tt tt tt The Carnegie lads moved in on PJotre Dame last week and what fihey did to Mr. Knute K. Rockne’s rejuvenated Irish was brutal. The Figures were 27 to 7. tt tt u WHEN THE DAZED AND DELIRIOUS JIB. ROCKNE CAME TO. EARLY THE NEXT MORNING HE BLAMED THE CAPTAIN AND THE CREW AND SAID ALL HANDS WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED IP THE LIFEBOATS HAD BEEN MANNED PROPERLY. tt tt tt NY. U. is one of the great ■ teams of the east. Its defeat at the hands of Georgetown was just one of those things. It could have happened to any great team under similar conditions. To be sure, it was a great nonetheless and to Georgetown goes the low and courtly bow of respect, but the important point is this: That one defeat doesn't keep N. Y. U. from still being a great team.

And besides, Pittsburgh teams have a way of becoming a bit awed in the presence of New York rivals. I don’t suppose the present situation is at all analogous, but the last time Pittsburgh and New Yorkk became involved in a matter of athletic superiority the result desolated a large stretch of the state of Pennsylvania. tt tt tt THIS WAS WHEN THOSE YANKEES OF MILLER HUGGINS FLATTENED THE PIRATES IN FOUR STRAIGHT. AND AT THIS SAME FORBES - FIELD TOO. I’LL ADMIT OF COURSE THAT HUGGINS DID PULL A SCURVY TRICK ON THE PIRATES. HE GAGGED THEM ON AN OVER DOSE OF PSYCHOLOGY. tt tt tt BOTH teams held a practice session the day before the first game. The Yankees were the first on the field. Mr. Huggins kept his at it until the Pirates showed up in uniform. The he kept them at it some more—especially Ruth and Gehrig. u n a The pitchers were tossing the ball right in the slot and the two sluggers were mowing down church steeples, cutting flag staffs in twain, and ruining bridge parties in adjoining sky-scraper apartments with their drives. As a spectacle it was beautiful but as an evil portent, it brought no joy to the Pirates, who stood by and watched with weary eyes. tt tt a WHETHER CHICK MEEHAN. THE YOUTHFUL IRISHMAN WHO GAINED HIS FIRST COACHING FAME AT SYRACUSE PLANS TO EMPLOY SIMILAR SUBTLETIES AGAINST WALLY STEFFEN IS NOT KNOWN. tt tt tt OFF hand I should say he isn’t. To begin with he has no Ruths or Gehrigs who stand out greatly as feared men. He has Ken Strong, who scored more points and gained more yards than any other player in the east, but Judge Steffen has a fellow named John Karcis, full back, who from all accounts is the season’s best. it tt it Speaking of Karcis after the rout of South Bend Mr. Rcknc said: “He has only one weakness. He can’t play a zither.” GOLF~MEET AT DETROIT By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—Detroit will entertain its first major golf tournament in se 1 .al years next SCpt. 30, when the national women’s tournament opens at the Oakland Hills Country Club.

De Pauw, Wabash End Practice for Renewal of Ancient Feud

Tigers and Cavemen Clash Saturday on Greencastle Gridiron. TEAMS IN GOOD TRIM Rivals Run Through Light Drills. By Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Nov. 23. A light signal drill this afternoon brought to a close De Pauw’s preparations for the invasion of the Wabash Cavemen Saturday afternoon in the annual grid struggle between the two schools. The Tigers are in excellent physical and .Rental trim. A rivalry of thirty-eight . ears on he gridiron is expected to oe boiled down in one of the closest games in the grid history of the two schools. For several years Scarlet elevens have defeated the Methodists and the Tigers are in a revengeful mood. Tiger fans are banking on a fast line, backed by two sets of speedy backs. An overhead attack will be used by the De Pauw eleven unless wet weather makes passing impractical. Scott, Blake and Van Riper appear to be the most accurate of the ball tossers. With the exception of two men, Johnson, junior end, and Struck, sophomore tackle, the entire forward wall will be made up of veterans. WABASH KEYED-UP Vaughan Pronounces Little Giants Fit and Ready for Action. Bit Times Special CRAWFORDS VILLE, Ind., Nov. 23.—With practice completed and the squad “keyed-up” to a high pitch Coach Robert (Pete) Vaughan today, pronounced his Wabash college grid team fit and ready for the annual renewal of the ancient state feud with De Pauw at Greencastle Saturday afternoon. The entire Little Giant student body is agitated and the old cry of “Wabash always fights!” is a popular battle chant. In the morning at Greencastle, hostilities will get under way when the Scarlet freshman team takes on the De Pauw rhinies. There is no information here as to the strength of the Methodist yearling squad but the Little Giants have a rather heavy aggregation with plenty of speed.

Manual and Tech Battle on Grid Clear skies and sunshine was to be the weather man’s contribution to the Manual-Tech battle at 2 o’clock this afternoon at Manual field. The city rivals wound up their practice sessions Thursday and were all set for the annual struggle. Although Shortridge already has won the city championship, student interest in this afternoon’s battle was not diminished one bit, and a large crowd of rooters was expected to be on hand.

Cadets Face Hard Fracas With Huskers Elusive Cagle May Be Means of Stopping Vaunted Nebraskans. BY FRANK GEITY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. Nov. 23.—The second mid-western threat to the peace of mind of what started out to be an .unbeaten football eleven showed up on the plains of West Point today, when Nebraska’s powerful football squad, thirty-three strong, arrived for a workout preliminary to Saturday’s intersectional game with Biff Jones’ cadets. Having reecived one rude setback at the hands of Notre Dame, the cadets were in no mood to hold lightly these Corn Huskers who have swept aside all opposition this season aside from a scoreless tie with Pittsburgh last week. The one game lost by the Army this season was lost because the Irish stopped Cagle. This fast, elusive ball carrier was the object of constant attention and lost some of the prestigfe he had won earlier in the fall. Saturday may find Cagle running wild once more, aided by better interference and a better choice of plays, in which case the Corn Huskers are in for an unhappy afternoon. The elevens are well matched. There has been little opportunity, fortunately, for comparative scores, so it will be impossible to err in estimating the outcome on any such uncertain premise. The Cadets will have no easy time, but they should win Saturday. Star Cueist in Tonight's Match One of the feature matches of the state three-cushion billiard tourney is to be run off tonight when Louis Vogler, Indianapolis, western amateur champion, meets Harry Rubens, former state title holder. Neal Jones defeated Louis Spivey in Thursday night’s match. 50 to 31 in 53 innings, the fastest match of the tourney to date. Jones had three runs of 5. Spivey ran 3. GEORGETOWN IN SHAPE U.a United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Georgetown will be better equipped for the battle with Fordham Saturday than it has been in some weeks, Washington football fans believe. Practically the entire squad is in good condition and the Hilltoppers should be able to prevent their strongest lineup against the Bronx eleven.
