Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—The color . game In the east Saturday brings Army against Harvard up at J West Point. What's more it ought to be quite a ball game. Army is much farther advanced in team [ Play and Is favored to win. For Eddie Casey, new and youthful Harvard coach, it will be a major test—the first Casey has faced since he took over the Job relinquished a year ago by Arnold Horween. From the public point of view, plus the considerations of comfort and con- ' enience, it is too bad the game is to be played at the Army post, where the stadium accommodates less than 27,000. Earlier in the year ati attempt was made to shift the game to the Yankee Stadium j with a percentage of the gate going to j unemployed. Army was willing but Harvard said no. Apparently Harvard prefers to remain completely aloof to the Jobless situation, taking the stand that its ‘ duties to the state are in nowise financial.” Which may be true enough. But with all the other ! famous colleges In the land subscribing | enthusiastically to Owen D. Young's call I for football help Harvard's position is somethics less than altruistic. Possibly Harvard Is right and all the others are out of step. Playing the game Saturday at West Point Is a sporting gesture. It would have drawn a tremendous paying crowd either at the Stadium or in Boston. Ever so often Harvard pays a courtesy call to the plains. This has been a custom since 1895. the first time the two elevens met. Harvard came to West Point on a guarantee of $250 expenses and won a close game, 4 to 0. To get the $250 the cadets and officers took up a collection among themselves. When Harvard learned of this the money was returned. Later the soldiers took the money and bought a silver trophy, which now occupies a conspicuous place in the Harvard trophy room. Out of this incident grew the warm relationship which j has ‘endured through the years and which account* for the sentimental return to the Academy campus this year. So if you go up to West Point Saturday and find that the one hotel is sold out and that the only food available is that quaint American tid-bit known as the hot dog, try to be tolerant. And if you happen to be unemployed and realize that at least SIOO,OOO would have gone into the fund If the game had been played in a metropolitan center, just w'rite it down to traditions. Naturally you can not eat traditions, but they are said to be very lovely things and deeply cherished by the educators. a a a THE game Saturday will be played in the comparatively new Michie stadium. It was named to perpetuate the memory of one Dennis M. Michie, called the father of football at West Point. He was coach and captain of the first Army team. He died a soldier's death at San Juan hill. Captain Walter Wells, Army’s public relations man, furnishes me some interesting data on the early days of football at the post. “Army’s entry Into football came as the result,of accepting Navy’s challenge in 1890.” writes the captain. "Navy had been playing several years. At West Point only two cadets knew even the rudiments of the game. Michie was one. The selected squad chipped in to buy a ball. No practice games were allowed. Navy was played on Nov. 20. 1890. It was the only game Army played that year. The game was practically ignored by the newspapers. "A. field was ruled off near the present library and chairs for the few spectators were carried from the. building and placed on the sidelines. Army seemed to be limited to one play, the “V” play, and Navy won 24 to 0. One Army player seized Emrich of the Navy as he ran with the ball. The spectators voiced so much enthusiasm that the Army player feared he had erred and released his grip. Whereupon Emrich ran for a touchdown. “Only one Army substitution was made. A modern Army or Navy quarter back would be amused at the signals used: “Man the fib-halliards and “reef topsails” for the Navy, and "column right,” "battery right wheel,” and “load” for the Army. “Football at the Point must have been grand fun in those days,” adds the captain. “And Just imagine how soft the athletic department had it, what with nobody clamoring for tickets on the fiftyyard line.” The development of Army football forms one of the most interesting chapters of the game. From the modest beginning touched on above the Army team has grown Into a mighty attraction, both as a football factor and a spectacle. There is no show in football that touches the Cadet corps for color and heart beats. In the old davs most of the players were without experience of any sort. I imagine Army took its first forward strides in football with the arrival of Foster Sanford as coach. Sanford imparted to the soldiers' line strategical secrets long treasured at Yale. Following Sanford came such Armv-developed coaches as Pot Graves Joe Becham Charles Daly, John McEwan and Biff Jones. These men turned out fine teams. They made a lot of the scant material they had to work with. Yale used to come up year after year just for expenses. So did Princeton and Harvard comes back Saturday for the first time since 1910. I believe. and the prospects are they will take a licking. Purple Soph Tried at End By Unitci!

300,000 TO SEE SEVEN MIDWESTERN GRID TILTS

Favorites Get Test Purdue, Michigan May Be Surprised by Badgers, Ohio State. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 16. Crowds totalling more than 300,000 will see the seven football games played Saturday in the middle west by Big Ten teams and Notre Dame. Three Big Ten games, two of which may go a long way toward determining the conference championship, two intersectional battles and a pair of sectional contests are on the list. The schedule and the probable attendance follows: Michigan vs. Ohio State at Ann Arbor <3,000 Illinois vs. Bradley at Urbana 60,000 Wisconsin vs. Purdue at Madison .. 40,000 Yale vs. Chicago at Chicago 40,000 Northwestern vs. XT. C. L. A. at Evanston 3.). OOO Notre Dame vs. Drake at South Bend 35,000 Indiana vs. lowa at lowa City.. 35.000 Probable total 308,000 The three games commanding the most interest are the MichiganOhio State, Wisconsin-Purdue and Yale-Chitago skirmishes. Indications are that Michigan and Purdue, co-favorites with Northwestern for the Big Ten title, will be extended to the limit by their respective opponents. It’s no worse than an even bet that either Michigan or Purdue will be upset Saturday. Chicago Battles Yale After Saturday, Michigan has Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota remaining on its schedule and Purdue has Chicago, lowa and Indiana. Chicago’s small but brave football squad will attempt to crown Coach A. A. Stagg’s fortieth anniversary as Maroons’ athletic director and coach with a victory over “the grand old man’s” alma mater in Yale’s first invasion of the middle west. Chicago was no better than a 20-1 shot to win ten days ago, but the Maroons’ great showing against Michigan last week and Yale’s defeat at the hands of Georgia have imbued the Maroons with a determined spirit they have not known in years. Wildcats Easy Choice Another intersectional game will see Northwestern in action against a Pacific coast team for the first time when the Wildcats clash with the University of California (Los Angeles), The Purple warriors hold a big edge. The Purple Hold a Big Edge Notre Dame will make its first appearance of the season at South Bend against Drake, using a modified form of the Rockne system. Indiana and lowa, two Big Ten teams, play a homecoming game at lowa City. Illinois will play Bradley.

Louisville Butler Foe Bulldogs Are Favored Over Colonel Eleven Here Tonight. Butler's Bulldogs were favored to register their second consecutive football triumph tonight when they tangle with university of Louisville at Fairview bowl at 8 p. m. During the past week, Coach Harry Bell has spent much time polishing the Blue offense and has developed a deceptive aerial attack which may play an important part in tonight’s battle. Bell reported his pastimers in the best shape of the season for the struggle. Charles Dayton and Pete Ray, sophomore half backs who have been handicapped all season by injuries, will be ready for action. Red Compton, reserve full back, probably will get into action for the first time this season after recovering from injuries. He is expected to add much to the Bulldog offensive power. Stellar performances of. Ennis and Brock, veteran ends, have erased one of Bell’s major problems, and he stated today, in announcing the starting lineups, he would not change the forward wall which played well against Ball State last Friday.

From Wichita, Kan., “what-a-man” dispatched the following telegram Thursday to President Emil Fuchs of the Boston Braves, who recently purchased him: “Please rush road uniform and jacket via air mail to Jefferson hotel for barnstorming trip to California.

Best wishes for you and Boston.”

McGraw W ants Cuccinello, Si Johnson From Redlegs

By Times Special NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—When John J. McGraw quit St. Louis last Saturday night he did not return at once to New York. He spent the next day in Cincinnati, talking uthngs over with Sidney Weil. It is understood that McGraw’s stop in the Rhineland was prompted by a desire to discuss Tony Cuccinello, second baseman, and Si Johnson, righthander. Last spring Mac was interested in Red Lucas. In fact, C. A. Stoneham would have gone as high as $50,000 for Lucas. But Weil had a fantastic notion of the pitcher's value, and he held him just one season too long. The Giants just now are not concerned about Lucas, who hit the down grade last summer. McGraw’s interest in Cuccinello traces to doubt as to how strong

Critz’s arm will be in the spring. Hughie's wing may not come back, and the Giants can not afford to be left holding the bag again with Hunnefield and Marshall. Cuccinello is a good hitter and a fine fielder, and can play at third as well as at second. In addition, there is the interesting fact that Tony is a NeV Yorker, born and reared. McGraw is on the hunt for a catcher and may get his man in a deal. It is reported lie has asked for waivers on Bob O'Farrell, who fell off badly in hitting and receiving this past season. However, Mac isn’t going to let O’Farrell go unless he can land a replacement. Thoroughly aroused by the strength of the Cardinals, and their rise to the world championship, McGraw is going to make more ardent effort than ever to bring out a more robust contender in 1932.
