Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—After a year's lapse the Army and Notre Dame move back into the big town to play a football game at the Yankee Stadium, Saturday afternoon. Though both teams have already been beaten and nothing more important Is at 'take than the determination of an annual Intersectional rtvalrv the game will draw around 80,000 cuatomers. A Bronx magistrate was around today offering val money for a pair of tickets. That's howtough the ticket situation is. This ha* alwavs been New York's one big footoall orgy. Even the growing -taturo of the N. Y. U.-Fordham game, a "trictlv home erowp feud, hasn’t dimmed its importance There's generally a touch of the spectacular and bizarre to these battles between the Cadetr and the mid-westerners which i nrls an eager receptivity among the metropolitans. And more times than not the fighting is fierce and close with the outcome in doubt until the last punt is sent . pirallv into the dusk. fPrettv?i It is one of those games about which you arc advised to throw awav the dope sheet. This year, for instance, on the face of things Notre Dame figures to chase the Soldiers right into the Hudson. Notre Dame lost its first game of the season last Saturday, a field goal by Southern California in the closing moments of plav deciding the controversy. On the other hand, the Boldicrs couldn't beat Yale and were beaten by Harvard and Pittsburgh. Thus on comparative performances. Notre Dame is so far above the Soldiers as to imply a loose, one-sided, futile game. On top of that vou are told that the Notre Darners, smarting under the first defeat thev,, have suffered in three venr3 of plav. will go Into this game roaring for revenge—although lust how swinging at a bunch of Soldiers from West Point is going to do anything to offset what happened at South Bend a week ago is not wholly clear. a st o WELL, anyway all the physical and statistical indications ooint to an overwhelming victory for Notre Dame and yet the history of the game shows that these indications are seldom trustworthy. On ihe contrary, they usually turn out to be less substantial than a peace pact. You don't have to go any farther back than the last two games played between these teams to prove that anything can happen. Consider the 1929 game. Army didn’t figure to have a chance. The Soldiers came up to that game with a (raved and fuzzy record, tied by Harvard, beaten bv Yale and routed by Illinois. The games was decided largely bv two dizzv turns of luck—turns which favored Notre Dame. One was a touchdown pass from Red Cagle. In the second auarter, which went fluttering into the arms of Jack Elder, the fastest man in football that year. Elder took the ball on his own two-vard line and romped ninetvrlght yards for a touchdown. Rockne admitted after the game that if the ball had been Intercepted bv any other plaver than the 9 4-5 sprinter the chances are he would have been spilled at midfield. Another turn of luck which went against the soldiers came in the fourth quarter. A pass from Cagle failed bv inches when the receiver. Hutchison, with a clear field ahead, slipped and fell on the icy field. Os course these are common breaks, they pop up a dozen times during a ball game and In the end thev even themselves up. I recall them here bv wav of showing what might have happened if thev had broken the other wav. The soldiers that year had as poor a record as the 1931 squad, vet except for that long stabbing run by Elder they practically plaved one of Rocknc’s greatest of great teams to a standstill. So how can vou figure them?

Northwestern rightfully won the undisputed Big Ten title for the first time in history when it completed its regular schedule with victories over Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and lowa, but for the sake of charity will go out Saturday to prove its right to conference supremacy.

By Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—General William R. gmith, superintendent of the United States Military Academy; Dr. Charles O’Donnell, president of Notre Dame university; Chick Meehan, N. Y.

The program will be broadcast over the Columbia network.

Stanford, first Pacific coast team to invade the New England states, is little better than an even choice over Dartmouth in the game to be played at Harvard stadium. The expected absence of Captain Albie Booth has not affected Yale’s wide margin over the once-danger-ous Princeton Tigers in the predictions. Georgetown will entertain Detroit at Washington; Navy will play a “set up” in Wooster, and Penn State will meet Lehigh at Philadelphia.

FLORIDA LEAGUE RUMORED Harold W. Lanigan. a former St. Louis sports editor, is understood to be promoting the organization of a minor league in Florida next year. A west coast circuit is contemplated.

In two other post-season games Ohio State will battle Minnesota at Minneapolis and Wisconsin will meet Michigan at Ann Arbor. An aggregate of more than 100,000 persons is expected to see these three games and net charity about $200,000. Rose Tilt at Stake Whatever chance Northwestern has to get the invitation for the Tournament of Roses game will depend on the Wildcats’ showing against Purdue. Os course, even if the Wildcats win decisively they will have to get permission of the Big Ten faculty representatives to make the trip. It has been reliably reported that Northwestern has a 50-50 chance to get the Big Ten’s permission. If Purdue upsets Northwestern, it is possible for a two, three or foufrway tie for the title to result. Purdue, which has lost only'one game, can tie for the title by winning, while Michigan and Ohio State also can finish in the money by winning from Wisconsin and Minresota, respectively. Purdue Takes Air After a slump against Indiana and lowa, the Wildcats have shown more enthusiasm in practice this week for Purdue than at any time since the Minnesota game. Coach Dick Hanley has decided to return to his three-quarters sophomore back field to start the Boilermaker fray. Potter at quarter, Meehan and Rentner at halves and Olson at full will start action. Rentner is a junior and the others are sophomores. . Reb Russell, husky line smasher and all-America full back last fall, will be held in reserve. With the Wildcats holding a big weight edge, Purdue plans to use a wide-open air attackMn an attempt to overcome the Purple warriors. Passes and the running of Hecker, Yunevich, Horstman, Risk and Purvis will carry, the Hoosiers’ victory hopes.

Hoosier Prep Gagers Busy; Muncie Looms Strong Again

BY VERN BOXELL With football still making curtain calls in the name of charity, basketball, king of the Hoosier high school sports, already has taken over the center ring of the sports circus. Already the perennial title contenders, as well as the Bearcats of Muncie, 1931 crown defenders, have made their bows—and most of them already have taken it on the chin. Frankfort, formerly synonymous with championships, has tumbled twice, once at the hands of little Flora, 25 to 24, and more recently to Muncie, 28 to 17. With Everett Case, who produced some of Indiana’s brightest prep stars, moved bag and baggage to Anderson, where he now is directing the destinies of the Red and Green Indians. Coach Bausman is finding it difficult to get the Frankfort Hot Dogs under way. Locke and Garrott are the veterans from last year around whom he is building his 1931-32 machine. Previous to their triumph over Frankfort, Muncie’s champions walloped Hartford City, an old rival. Coach Pete Jolly apparently has started his tossers at a fast pace. In past years, the Bearcats have found the going tough at the outset. Schuch and Mann are veterans from the title team of 1930-31, and Jolly, as usual, has brought forth some new stars who may outshine the old before the season passes. Logansport’s Berries, coached by Cliff Wells, have experienced early difficulties. Fairmount held the Berries to a 14-to-10 count, and Bedford dropped them, 19 to 14. Martinsville was the latest to take the Berries into camp. Previously, Coach Glenn Curtis’ Artesians

I. U. Wins Grid Meet Hoosiers Nose Out Chicago, Illinois in Charity Tourney. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 27. battling Crimson warriors missed their Thanksgiving dinners at home, but had another victory in their Big Ten ranking today. The Hoosiers triumphed in the four-team charity tourney at Stagg field Thursday, gaining a first down decision over Illinois, eight first downs to four, after the teams had battled to a scoreless tie, and then nosing out Chicago, 6 to 0. Only 8,000 fans paid $16,000 to witness the novel tourney, $13,000 of the proceeds going to Big Ten charity fund. All of the games were thirty minutes. Early in the game with Chicago. Indiana had the ball on the 15-yard line and Edmonds missed a field goal. The Maroons were forced to hold on their 5-yard line a few minutes later. Chicago punted, and on the first play, Stan Saluski wormed through center and ran thirty-eight yards for the Hoosier marker. Dauer and Edmonds shared offensive honors with Saluski for Indiana. After the touchdown, Chicago rallied and outplayed the Hoosiers, gaining six first downs to four, but Indiana braced when the Maroons threatened to score. Sahlin, Zimmer and Stagg led the Maroon attack. Indiana outplayed Illinois in the scoreless game to gain the final round, while Chicago had a bitter battle with lowa, Pete Zimmer’s eighty-three-yard touchdown run giving the Maroons their victory, 7-0.

walked over Bedford, but took the count before Washington’s Hatchets, who also defeated Mitchell and Bedford. Both Martinsville and Washington appear up to their usual form this year. Everett Case’s debut at Anderson was a flop, his Indians taking an 18-to-14 lacing at the hands of little Alexandria, county rivals who ousted Anderson from the race in the 1931 sectional tournament. Anderson came back with a 22-to-18 decision over Kokomo, but the Wildcats, after thumping Greentown, already had bowed to Sharpsville. Columbus holds a one-point overtime win over the Greensburg Pirates, but Conners ville appears among the leaders again, with a five-point edge over Columbus. Vincennes also is off to a flying start, with a win over Columbus in the books. Greensburg defeated Rushville, but the Lions have failed to show real class in early tilts. Franklin nosed out Greensburg in another battle. Marion, after a few lean years, appears ready to climb back among the leaders, neatly trouncing both Fairmount and Logansport. Austin Smith has succeeded Mel Taube as the Giants’ mentor. Newcastle also has shown early signs of power. Shortridge of Indianapolis, among the sixteen finalists last March, got away to an impressive start, but Manual, the only other ctiy team in action to date, has experienced considerable trouble. Greencastle, Shelbyville, Crawfordsville, Jeffersonville and Rochester also have displayed possibilities and may provide some big surprises for 1931-32. In the far north, the leaders still are busy with football activities but soon will be tossing the leather on the courts.

Ring Giants See Action Carnera-Campolo Fight to Draw Small House; Prices High. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 27.— Madison Square Garden assumed a Coney Island atmosphere today with its “barkers” ballyhooing “the worlds biggest exhibition of boxing freaks.” But unlike Coney Island, which cut prices during the depression, the Garden has made its freak show—featuring Primo Camera and Victorio Campolo in a fifteen-round bout for the world’s dreadnaught championship—a high-priced attraction, taking advantage of a charity hookup and the “championship” billing to scale ringside seats at sls. Primo and Victorio, despite their combined bulk of nearly 500 pounds, are not better than fourth-rate fighters. The New Y'ork state athletic commission has named them as leading contenders for the world’s “dreadnaught” championship and has agreed to recognize tonight's winner as a world's title holder, but the new championship division is regarded generally as the all-time prize-winning example of assininity by the "Three Dumb Dukes.” The federation for the support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies is the charity sponsor of the bout and wfill share the profits, if any, of the bout. Most of the charity will go to the two fighters. The bout is not expected to draw more than $50,000. Camera remains a heavy favorite in the betting, but not by the boxing writers.
