Football still is Thorpe’s prime interest, although ‘he seldom gets to see a big game, a lecture tour

‘He travels from

and most publicized player of the

Grid Scores
Here's That Annual Story
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor - NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Without ‘the aid of mirrors and with noth-
all the scores for the season, I. shall now proceed to explode the ‘theory that Minnesota is the nation’s leading football team. Minnesota is not even among the first 10 teams and I'll thank. you not to mention that the Gophers are undefeated and have scored 94 points to their .opponents’ 12. That has nothing to do with the matter, There are plenty of teams that are stronger than Minnesota. Personally, m choice is Greeley State of Greeley, Colo. I don’t know the names of any of the Greeley players and . it’s true that they have been ra--"ther badly beaten a couple of - times this year, But Minnesota would be their dish. Figures don’t -lile and figures say that Greeley State is 11 points better than Minnesota in fair weather or foul. To arrive at this conclusion we have to travel a circuitous route, and if any of you get tired along the way, just knock at the ‘third - door from the left and say that Eddie "sent you :
» So Far Into the Night On the basis of the football . played so far this year California is 14 points better than Southern California, which in turn, is six points better than Oregon State. By a happy.chance, Oregon State -is three points better than Washington. And that, fellow citizens, makes California 23 points better than Washington. . That piece of information saves considerable time and trouble, for California and 'W are scheduled to play on Nov. 8. No need of it now; we know the score. Don’t we Now it happens that early. in the season Minnesota defeated Washington, 14 to 6, making the j Gophers only eight points better than W n. Thus California is 15 points better than Min- . nesota (hi, all you fellows in Minneapolis).
And what has Sappancd to ‘California aside from the San
