Expert Discusses the Mythical Football Chamoion-

By DAVIS J. WALSH Intcrnatton.il New, Service Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Nov. 7.-Kigured on or.,paraUvo scores and records. "cre are n!ne college football teams remaining- in the running for the mythical championship, namely Harvard. Princeton, Cornell, Washington and Jefferson. In the east; Michigan. Wisconsin. Notre Dame snd Iowa in the middle west, and California on the west coast. In addition to those named the Army and West Virginia are undefeated In the east. Vanderbilt In the south and Washington and Oregon on the oast. but they are not believed to late with tho first nine named. The latter are supposed to compose the first championship fight, yet before the close of the season, three weeks hence. It is altogether possible that some team, already beaten, may cut rank the lot of them. It is an open secret, for example, that even Harvard men fear tho Crimson Is not jstronsr enough to beat both Yale and Princeton, Yale, knocked oft by Iowa In the early s-ason. Is thought to have better than an even chance of beating both of its bitr rivals.

That would Have tho eastern Held to Cornell. West Virginia and Washington and Jefferson, and not a few are the latter to go down before Pittsburgh a week from Saturday. The prevalent opinion is that Lafayette is a better football team than W. and J. In spite of tho later victory. Cornell, with a hand picked

J schedule. Is likely to preserve its

record inviolate, although it et 111 must hurdle Pennsylvania and West Virginia should be able to dispose f Indiana, Ohio' University and Virginia In Its remaining games, if this par is to represent tho eastern survivors, then the mythical title will go west beyond the Al'.cghe nics. Their lecords lose caste when compared with those of Notre Dam Michigan and other western outfits. That, of course, is assuming that Notre Dame will ovitstep the Armv on Saturday. The latter has not been beaten this season, but football men who have watched both service teams close assure us that the Navy, although beaten by PermIs a better team than the Army. The western situation will iron itself out to a certain extent when Michigan hooks up with Wls-cousin on Nov. 18. The Badgers must dispose of Illinois and Chicago before they tan call It a season, while in addition to the Wisconsin gam. Minnesota still looms ahead on the Michigan schedule. Iowa, with a team hardly as strong as the other pair, might very well become the conference champion again since they decide the Big Ten title by games won and lost and Keyes need only push over Minnesota, Ohio State and Northwestern to finish with a clean record. At that, all three of the latter pack something of a punch, particularly Minnesota and Northwestern. Vanderbilt must have something to have held Michigan to a scoreless toe and whatever honor goes wl.h a sectional championship probably will be accorded the Tennessee tnJtry. From all accounts. It will be CaH.

-FRIAR GAM

ENDS IN SCORELES

The East Chicago Gophers and the Whiting Friars battled to a scoreless tie on Friars' field last Sunday afternoon. The contest was hampered by the steady downpour of rain which started at the opening of the game and continued throughout the fracas. Not once did Old Man Kaln-In-the-Face take action on the weather conditions and tho game was played in a steady drizzle on a field of mud. The 2,000 fans who braved the deluge and stuck throughout the struggle only to be rewarded by a Fame full of thrills, fight, spirit and spectacular defensive tactics. The rain did not damper the enthusiasm displayed by tho rooters of both sections as the fans saw a r al football t ame which could not bo excelled by any previous game played, rain or shine. The fan were drenchod to the skin and all the persons ruined their fall wearins apparel, tut that did not have any effect on the spirit which prevailed during the battle by loyal rooting for their favorites to score. The false reports which have been circulated throughout the Calumet region that the Friar club is guilty of securing college players for this particular game is entirely false. The Friar management wants to announce the names of the following players who participated in the Gopher-Friar game: Coach Milligan. Capt. Gallevan. Opatt, Perky. Rust. Kecklch, Thlessen, Dheur, Scerfield, Burke, Littlejohn, Gorman, Kozek, O'Keefe. The management wishes to challenge any perlon to prove that the eald club had imported outside players. The East Chicago Gophers, midale weight champions of the Midwest league, did not show the brand of football that was supposed to overwhelm the Friars, an eleven that has been organized during the

last two seasons. The Gophers veri completely surprised at tho outronn a3 It was generally expected to beat the Friars by a large score and they were stunned by the outcome Facts prove that of the regular squad of the Gophers only three of the original Gopher team appeared In th3 lineup, the remaining members of the team were outsiders and played the game with on purpose to beat the Friars at al costs. Sensational playing marked the game by both sides, of which th Friars had a great advantageCoach Milllgan realized hl3 ambition to have a line, a stonewall line, and the Friars' line proved to be in that class by holding the Gophers' one and only chance to score to . 3 yards in four downs. With both teams playing great defensive ball, the game was featured by tight playing as neither line would yield an Inch. Had the day been Ideal there is no doubt as to the ability of the Friars to take the Gophers in camp and we look forward to such a day when this can be staged so no side can offer alibis. Whiting gained more ground, more downs, and

I completed more passes than their

opponents but with the breaks in favor of the Gophers, the Friars were compelled to battle the Gophers with this handicap. Three quarters of the actual playing of the game wag done in Gopher territory and had the conditions been favorable the outcome would have been different. Whiting's aerial game if played to a greater extent would have been successful as the forward passing combination netted the boys 8") yards on two passes. The Gophers' famous passing combination failed utterly as their attempts were muffed by the secondary defense.

BASKETBALL

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 WHITING, IND., Nov. 7 With the close of the football season on Its way. Whiting folks arc looking forward to the opening of the basket ball season. As in the past Whiting will have Its team, in fact several of them, but they will not be the professional teams that have been In the past. Plans have been worked out whereby local talent onlywill in the future represent Whiting in basketball and the prospects rf a team that will be one of the best In the state are very bright' Community Service has Interested Itself in behalf of the young men who want to play and one of the most able basket ball coaches In the country has been engaged to take, them In hand and develop them Into a team that will be second to none. It may take more than a year to accomplish this end, but it Is hoped that when the next season rolls around and the new community building with its fine basket court is thrown open to the public. Whiting will have a real team take the floor and represent her In this sport. The basketball committee which has been appointed by community service to start the ball a rolling comprises Mayor Walter E. Schrage, John C. Melvln. Joseph J. ChiUa and A. J. Parkins. They In turn Tmrr.edi.Ttely selected a coach to take charge of the team and very wisely selected a man who Is In a position to give the team the same valuable knowledge along this Una that they would receive were they attending one of the biff universities and play

ing on one of the conference teams. In fact. Whiting's coach developed a team which a few years back romped away with the National A. A. U. championship which in those days was considered quite a feat inasmuch as It was necessary to win from the very best teams in the country. The teams will be under the management of James J. Griffith, who has already commenced work on a schedule which will bring some of the best amateur teams in the Central States ti Whiting for games. The first practice session will be held on Wednesday evening, November 8th, at which time It is hoped there will be at least twenty-five candidates fcr the teams out for practice and to meet the new coach who will give them an outline of what he wants them to do and hopes to accomplish before the season Is over. Any person whether he has had basketball experience or not is requested to be out for this first practice. The first game will be. played on Wednesday evening, Dec. 6th, and games will be played every Wednesday night thereafter during the season.

NEXT FOR THE

SCATENAS

lth fire rlotorles and one tie score stowed away In six starts, the Hammond Scatenas will start preparations today for another hard contest on their nchedule In the Midwest Football Association when the fiery Dellwood, 111., team corn's to do battle at ths Harrison park gridiron Sunday. The visitors are well known for their football record and the team boasts of having some wonderful stars. The Scatenas will have to work hard all week In order to keep their record clean from defeat. By winning from the touted Famous Chicago;, tho Scatenas remain as contenders tor the Midwest pigskin title. The Scatenas' decisive victory through rain and mud was accomplished mainly through t h o brilliant work of each player on the Hammond cam. No individualism was shown at any time, and tinlike other elevens the Scatena aggregation is out to win no matter who may carry the ball. The Chi:agoans, who have been employing a passing game all season, wer lost In the mud. The aerial r-lys failed to materialize, and when thi Chicago ends attempted to pick the ball out of the air Hammond players were always In proper position to break up the passes. Tor tha 3rt time la weka tlie

Hammond ends broke through the secondary defense. It seemed as If Worland and the scrappy Taguc were always ready to cover the receiver. In past performances the ends were either to far ahead of the

heaver or a,lowly moving: forward. The line. f which much has been written, showed its real strength one 'that should withstand the assaults of any of the future Pcatena opposition. The Chicago brickfield seemed powerful, but were powerless to gain through the Hammond f roward will. The Famous Chicago. s made out one single down and this after Referee Kraft had allow, ed a 6-yard penalty for off-side. Football fans who are supposed to know were indeed surprised when the first touchdown was made, but when two others followed in rapid succession they quickly conceded that the Scatenas were superior to any eleven .hat can boast of having a puiely homo bred football team. There are other teams in the Midwest league who ate playing good games, but each eleven rnusc pii.k on players from various parts, while tha Scatenas have on their roster bona tlde'resldcnts of the finest athletic town in tho entire country. Hammond has always supported I'ancho was arrested yesterday organization ia the talk of the town. Manager -'Happy" Cantwell showed his colors Sunday by allowing the game to be played in spite of the fact that his train stood to lose money. 1 . .s not a money proposition with the Scatenas, they are out to play because they lcve the game and Hammoid fandom is sure to reward them before the season comes to a closo
