Football today will be almost an eastern pastime from the standpoint of general Interest, for In the Middle West, while a number of close games are expected, little of Importance hinges on the lesult. At Pittsburgh or.e of the most Important contests piayed In years will be staged by Georgia Tech the University of Fittsburgh, while at Annapolis another clash attracting nation-wide interest -will be contested by Great Lakes and the Uniwd States Naval Academy. The Fittsburgh fracas will involve two teams that have been undefeated for a number of years, and which annually have entered claims for the national championship. Georgia Tech has walloped every opponent since 1915. most of them by ridiculous scores, while Fittsburgh, though piling up less imposing point totals, has consistently beaten all opposition for nearly the same period. Both the southern and eastern champions will have armies of adherents backing them, and the elevens will run out on the field with all the confidence in the world. Easterners picking Pitt. Eastern experts predict 'that Fittsburgh will prove a far more difficult proposition than the southerners have ever encountered', and maoy even see an eastern victory. Others point to the three-figure scores the southerners have been compiling this year, and believe that such a powerful scoring machine can't bo denied. The Great Lakes-Annapolis game is attracting as much excitement in the East as the old annual Army-Navy games, especially since the western gobs trounced the formidable Rutgers eleven 54 to 14. Rutgers was rated as one of the topnotch teams in that section, and the smashing victory of the westerners was a severe jolt to eastern experts. The Great Lakes players realize that the. Navy team will be stronger than Rutgers, for the middies, like the western sailors, number several former college players in their lineup. Both squads are in the pink, and both ar expected to open up to the limit to achieve the victory that means so much to these service rivals.

GARY TECH TO PLAY THORNS

The Thorns of Pullman, who are claiming the semi-pro football championship of Illinois, will tackle the strong Gary Tech team tomorrow af 3 "3rd street end Carliss avenue. This is the second meeting of these teams, the first gime goin? to the Thorns 21 to 14, after a speedy, scrappy battle. The Techs h.v improved since the last meeting, as was shown in the Kama against Hammond, which defeated the Techs, and will make the Thorns extend themselves to win. PRAISE FOR PXDDY. GREAT LAKES NAVAL TRAINING STATION, Great Lakes. III.. Nov. 23. New Tork football critics, usually reticent to recognize western athletics, are declaring Faddy Driscoll, Great Lakes quarterback, the greatest player in the country today, lie is enthusiastically compared with Jim Tnorpe, Howard Berry, Eddie Mahan, Hobey Baker and other idols of the eastern gridiron. And all because of the Rutgers massacre, wherein Driscoll scored srx touchdowns and kicked five goals. HE FAVORS ONE-MAN CONTROL OF BASEBALL BOSTON, Nov. 23. President Frazea of the Rod Sox is one magnate who feels sura baseball will come back. "We are already planning our spring southern training trip and are on the outlook for new material," lie said yesterday. "I am positively in favor of a one-man national commission, and there is no question that one man ought to be a big man, a man capable of taking care of baseball problems and disputes. It is my belief, and I know it is shared by many big league owners, that neither league president should sit on the national commission. It should be removed far ffom politics."
