NINTH BALLOON RAGE 3 WILL START SUNDAY; FOUR NATIONS ENTER (By Associated Press) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 23. Four nations will be represented by the seven balloons entered in the Gordon. Bennett International Trophy race starting tomorrow from this city. The

Limed States has three entrants, Italy, two, and France and Belgium one each. It will be the ninth competition for the 'trophy, snd the first since 1913, when the war precluded international ero contests. The trophy, hung up in 1906 by James Gordon Bennett, came into possession of America that year and has been won three times since ty United States pilots. Germany captured the cup twice, while France rnd Switzerland each were visitors cnce. The race is held from the country winning the previous contest. Upson Enters Again. Ralph H. Upson, who won the cup in 7 913 when he outdistanced all his rivals by crossing the English channel and landing near the Yorkshire coast

in the race from Paris, will compete for it again this month with the balloon "Goodyear II". Two other Americans Lieutenant Richard E. Thompson in an army bag and H. K. Honeywell in "Kansas City II" also are entered. These three led all the rest in the elimination races last month. Flying the colors of European countries will be four other balloons. Captain Hirschauer is to represent France, with Lieutenant Ernest Demyter in the "Belgica" from Belgium. Italian entrants are Major Chevalier Joseph Valle with "Audens" and Major Hugo Madorl in the basket of "Triumpale VI." ' Frenchman .Holds Record. . The race is won by the balloon which travels the farthest distance f : from the starting point. The record ' flight was made in 1912 from Stuttgart, Germany, when a French pilot, Maurice Bienaime, flew 1,361 miles. The only other Gordon-Bennett race which resulted in a trip of more than 1,000 miles was held in 1910 from St. Louis, the victor, Alan R. Hawley of the Aero Club of America, going 1,172 miles. This still stands as the American record. What direction the bags take after rising off the ground depends on the wind, the balloons being of the "free" type. In 190 the victor landed in the sea in a flight from Berlin, and was rescued off the coast of Norway by a passing ship.

QUAKERS AT CAPITAL TO EXCHANGE BLOWS WITH BUTLER ELEVEN Saturday's clash with Butler is one of the oft mentioned crucial games of the season on the Earlham schedule and hope is high at the local camp that they will be able to bring back the desired end of the score from the Irvington camp. Nothing will be spared to put the game across and every man on the squad has pledged himself to play the game of his life to triumph over the Butler crew. Dope on the two elevens have them about even. The advantage of a home ground and hosts of rooters lies with the capita', city squad. The Quakers have tried to overcome the handicap by sending special cars loaded with rooters and numerous others have hit th highway to be present at the melee. Squad Leaves Saturday. Coach Mowe and 23 men left Saturday morning for Indianapolis. Most of the men are in good shape but several cripples will be unable to get in the game. Al Carter will probably start the game at quarter-back and if no further injury to his hand occurs will stick throughout the game. Gordon, star tackle, may get into part of the game. Butler has the defeat of last, year rankling in her craw to spur her on to a supremo effort to even the count. Word from Pat Page's camp states that they have been working earlv and late to perfect their plays for Saturday's conflict. The Earlham lineup for Saturday's game will probably be: E. L. Nicholson, left end: Pennington, right tackle: Chambers, right guard; Bcasley, center. Johnson, left guard: Hall, captain, left tackle; Bookout, left end; Carter, quarterback; Wenban. right half; Beck, left half; Girton. full back. Eagles Meet Centerville In Finish Battle Sunday A record-breaking crowd which will tost the capacity of the grandstand and bleachers at Exhibition park is expected when the Eagles nnd Centerville cross bats for the second game of the season. Word from the small towns in this neck of the woods in dicates that they are sendinc rooters galore to boost one or the other team. Manager Williams, of the Eagles, states that his team will take Ihe field with the intention of keeping the honors here" in Richmond, and praises the sportsmanship of Centerville in getting together a team -which will stage a worthy battle for the fans. Centerville is coming "loaded for bear," and it is openly rumored that they have every intention to annex the gonfalon. ILLINOIS AND MICHIGAN IN BATTLE ARRAY TODAY ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 23. The football squads of Illinois and Michigan faced each other-Jiere this afternoon in what the Wolverines expected to be the hardest contest of their schedule.

MID-WEST CONFERENCE TEAMS SHOW EQUAL STRENGTH; EXCELLENT FORM

CHICAGO, Oct. 23. Football play, developing into- midseason form exhibited by practically evenly matched Western conference elevens today presented three big ten games, the results of which were awaited in the middle west as of great importance' in determining the ultimate conference champion. Five undefeated teams were contestants, Illinois, 1919 title . holder, Ohio State, last year's runner-up, Wisconsin, Chicago and Michigan. Iowa, beaten by Illinois last week 20 to 3, was the one eleven with a previous setback to its early season record on today's conference schedule which was as follows: Illinois and Michigan at Ann Arbor; Ohio State and Wisconsin at Columbus; Chicago and Iowa at Chicago. Trained in Both Methods. Illinois made confident by the display of ground gaining ability in Its decisive defeat of Iowa last Saturday today has a field of players trained in open and close attack. Coach Zuppke is especially well fortified in the field goal kicking department with Ralph Fletcher. His brother Bob. who won the championship for his team last year by defeating Ohio State by the field goal route, also is ready to be pressed into service. On the defense Illinois is considered just as strong. Yost has seen Illinois in action and knows the plays his Wolverines will have to stop. Today s ga'ne is the conference debut of the year for the Wolverines, who have filled in the season so far by beating Case and the Michigan Aggies. Willaman a Line Plunger. At Columbus, Ohio State offered its strongest lineup of the season. Ohio did not have its full strength in the Purdue game, keeping Willaman among others on the sidelines. Today in Bliss and Stlnchcomb, the Buckeves boasted two fast backs, while Willaman -has gained a reputation as a terrific line plunger. Workman, newly discovered quarterback, was expected to uncork some tremendous passes as followers recalled the fifty-seven-yard throw he completed against the Boiler-makers early in the season. Wisconsin Well Balanced. The Wisconsin team which showed extraordinary strength against Northwester last week, entered a well-balanced outfit on the Columbus gridiron. 1 The team which has given every indication of being the strongest eleven developed at Madison in recent years, displayed an example of perfect interference for the back field on end Football Games Today INDIANA Earlham vs. Butler at Irwin field.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

1 'll ee OEHCHTEO'H CLAD foo CALLED - ; i - J runs in the Badgers triumph over Northwestern, Lawrence and Michigan Aggies. The Wisconsin forwards who held the purple linesmen in check last week, face a more severe test today. At Stagg field, the real strength of Chicago and its chance of becoming a championship contender were the subject of much discussion before today's battle with Iowa. In Captain Jackson, McGulre, Crisler and Cole, Coach Stagg has a dependable quartet, but the Maroon's defense against Purdue was not particularly strong.-while Wabash did not furnish the necessary opposition. Nevine a Star. While the Maroons have not faced a real test so far the Hawkeyes had a better team than the 20-3 defeat by Illinois last week would indicate, it was commented. Coach Jones shook up his team somewhat before the game today and up to the last moment it was thought very likely that Captain Kelly would grace the side-lines. In Aubrey Nevine, the Hawkeyes have one of the greatest players in the west and he was expected to be the chief reliance of the Iowa defense. Teams Continue Practice. All the other conference teams had an off-day today and continued practice for next week's contests. Nebraska which meets Rutgers In New York City on election day and Penn State the Saturday following received its last test before departing for the east by meeting South Dakota at Lincoln. Notre Dame Meets Army. Notre Dame, which meets the Army at West Point, next Saturday, was scheduled with Valparaiso, at Notre Dame. Other games on the schedule were: - Missouri and Drake at Des Moines; Kansas and Ames at Lawrence; Washington (St. Louis), and Oklahoma at St. Louis; Case and Akron at Akron. Kenyon and Mt. Union at Gambler; Kansas and Iowa State at Lawrence; Wabash and Rose Poly at Terre Haute; Western Reserve and Ohio Wesleyan at Cleveland; Wooster and Oberlin at Wooster. i Wilkinson Game Today Is First .Off Home FieL For Richmond High Team Richmond and Wilkinson will whet their football appetites Saturday afternoon when they line up on the Wilkinson field. The local pigskin chasers are in fair shape for the game and are going prepared to make a good showing, against the heavy crew in Hancock county. Coach Null refuses to make any predictions as to the outcome of the game, but states that his team is coming along in good shape since the first game of the season, and that he expects them to play their best football against Wilkinson Saturday. Some of the regulars are not in the best of condition. Davis, tackle, and Martin, guard, are said to be out of the game for a few days. Loehr will assume the job of punting and should be able to perform in good style. Guards Are Heavy. Walls and McMahan have taken over the guard positions and have the stuff to stick with the team. They are two scrappers and any one getting through them will have some beef to climb over. A small following of rooters will follow the team in machines expecting to witness the first victory of the local moleskin artists. The probable line-up for Richmond is: Clark, right end; Jennings, right tackle; McMahan, right guard; Mattox, center; Walls, left guard; Green, left tackle; Mulligan, left end; Zuttermeister, quarter; Schumaker, right half; Lowman, left half; Loehr, fullback. Eleven Men Turn Out For K. C. Basketball Practice First practice for the K. of C. basketball squad was held in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium Friday night. Eleven candidates turned out for the team and were put through an hour and a half of stiff practice A few af the men are very inexperienced and showed it in the first practice. Some of the men are old college stars and will aid in making the local club one of the fastest in the city. A meeting will be held in the club room Monday night where a short talk on bas betball will be given by James Harrington, who is coaching the team. The next practice will be held Thursday night in the Garfield annex. Legion to Carry Reserve Players to Anderson Game The American Legion will take a crippled lineup to Anderson Sunday to play the fast aggregation of the latter place. The local backfield has been hit particularly hard, every man there nursing some soreness of one kind or another. Several new players have been added to the roster to be run in in case the regulars find the sledding too hard. The trouble with these second stringers is that they lack the experience necessary for fast gridders. Several rooters will accompany the team in automobiles and expect to back their favorites to a win over the Anderson team. Farmer Boys and Girls watch for the Prize Hog Sale.
