PAGE SIX ARMY PREPARING FOR YALE GAME By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) WEST POINT, N. Y., Oct. 28 "Look out there," Captain John J. McEwan, head coach of Army football, pointed with duly dramatic gesture at 11 young men running thru signals at his varsity. "There are five men on that team who wouldn't be given a football suit at any of our big colleges." John is very much excited over the current tendency to charge the Army with getting its players ready-made. "If those five men are ready-made, I'm a toe dancer," said the captain in a manner that gave one the impression he didn't really believe he was a toe dancer. The identity of the misfit five, perforce, he didn't disclose, but it is assumed they didn't include Garbisch, former all-American center, or Ellinger and Farwick, veteran guards, or Harry Wilson, all-American halfback; Gillmore, veteran back, and Bill Wood, star punter. By the process of elimination, that left Mack and Griffith, tackles; Frazer and Born, ends, and Yeomans, quarterback. "We are just a small college," he continued. "In discipline and the demand on the students' time, we are just a military post. Not much time for football; 3 days a week, in fact. Only 38 men allowed on my varsity squad." He ticked off these melancholy items on one finger after another. "A football player is just another cadet here," he added, and went on to tell about Wilson, an idol at Penn State last year. The latter is one of several hundred plebees with few, if any, privileges. He is hauled out of bed in the morning at 6:30 and is bullied at random, by upper classmen any time they might decide that his position at table is not sufficiently creek or that his deportment is not all that a plebe's should be." Wilson, it seems, wanted a military career and he is getting it. Items on one finger after another. "A football player is just another cadet here," he added, and went on to tell about Wilson, an idol at Penn State last year. The latter is one of several hundred plebs with few, if any, privileges. He is hauled out of bed in the morning at 6:30 and is bullied at random, by upper classmen any time they might decide that his position at table is not sufficiently creek or that his deportment is not all that a plebe's should be." Wilson, it seems, wanted a military career and he is getting it. According to the story, he told his old coach, Hugo Bendek, of his ambition and it was Bezdek who arranged his entry into West Point. The writer broke right into secret practice yesterday, the present year being the first in which the Army has employed this system. I don't believe, however, that I am disclosing state secrets when I say that the Army is preparing for Yale. They had their second team using Yale formations yesterday against the varsity, without notable success. McEwan couldn't add much to the current Princeton-Notre Dame equation beyond saying that Notre Dame may not be able to show its real speed on Saturday. He thot the Army game, the subsequent traveling back and forth and the injury to Walsh might dull the fine edge of Notre Dame's speed. To ease the obvious pain the writer suggested that these men had done rather well against Notre Dame last week. "Ha, ha," replied the captain, in the merry tones of a man who has just sustained a broken leg, "Ha, ha, ha. They were boxed on every play." McEwan shook a doleful head. It was the only kind he had for that particular subject. But Army football and Army is his complex, his phobia, his fetish. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 28. Navy's chances for the great annual football game at Baltimore Stadium Nov. 29, suffered a crushing setback today when four stars of the midshipmen eleven were disqualified by Naval Academy authorities for being back in their studies. The players, Allan Shapley, quarterback and outstanding mainstay of the team this season, Royce Pippin, half back and rated second to Shapley, Gus Lentr, 220-pound guard and bulwark of the line and Bill Osburn, varsity center must redeem themselves at examination Nov. 22, to be eligible. The blow, following defeats by Princeton and Marquette, has established Army as the odds—on favorite for the annual clash. OAKLAND TOO HIGH ASSERTS JOHNSON Orange again was the stumbling block in the way of Anaheim H. S. being Orange-co. football champions. The Anaheim boys fought to the last man, but in vain. The Orange team was heavier and more powerful, but Anaheim's line held wonderfully well. Anaheim again lost thru the same weakness of a year ago; her running interference is 'way below that of Orange. When an Orange man carries the ball, his path is guarded by his mates; when Anaheim carries the ball her interference is cut down at the line. All loyal Anaheim students felt the loss of Friday's game greatly for they had hoped to reverse the result of last season and to the players that had worked so hard to perfect themselves for this game it was a real shock. Over in the darkened room of the hospital was a lad who had spent two years on the lightweight team preparing himself to aid in the winning of the championship for his team. So weak he scarce could raise his hand, he lay and thought and thought. The day for which he had planned so much had arrived. Out on the field his team would soon be struggling for the school honors. Suddenly down in the streets came the echo of auto horns and school yells. Great tears welling in the lad's eyes and rolled down his haggard cheeks and he was heard to murmur, "Not this year but next." With two ribs cut away and three others scrambled with his life still hanging by a thread, he was still giving his all for his school. This is the stuff for which real men are made, giving all and asking nothing. His loyalty to his nation would be no less than the loyalty to his school. This same loyalty is what makes Americans the greatest race of people on the face of the earth today. Jack Barnett, there is a great circle of friends pulling for you to win, and we know you will. Gus Priddy and a party just returned from Salton where they attempted to ban limit of ducks. Their limit low. They claim that they are fewer ducks on the Sea for several years. Geo. B. Miller writes Arizona that game is so than ever before. Arizona has very dry, backward season, big game has either died on their old haunts. The M party did not get a deco, was able to bag the mini wild turkeys. The qualif not plentiful but by a little M inging the Miller camp has his good supply all the time. hunting grounds of Arizona, those of California, are beco hunted out. Doping Coast football this son is some sweet job. Wington, Stanford and U.S.C., posed to be the three strong teams, are having a great winning their games. Stan had Lady Luck with her S day when she won from Id 3 to 0. U.S.C. won from Ne 21 to 7, but again her win was not impressive, and backers were not greatly erased. Washington found Oregon Aggies a very diff bunch to score on, but many to sneak over 5 points which enough to win as the A went scoreless. The Golden Gave Washington State a 20 drubbing. Each game the lumbers along and bowls opposition over, and is begin to get on the nerves of our conference squads. Is it possible that this Bear club will complish the feat of the Bear? Anyway, he is giving coaches much worry, just wishing that they had no docile and feeding out of hands. SPORTS DONE BROWN BY NORMAN E BROWN The burning question of the hour now is: Just where does John McGraw now stand as a master mind. And if he still is such mind. one else on it—fought a new logical handicap, opened up series. The Cating Johnson—shoe team. Later The Senate face the task of taking OAKLAND TOO HIGH ASSERTS JOHNSON LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28. — "I would like to own a club in the Pacific Coast league and I may be able to come to terms with Oakland owners." This was declared here today by Walter Johnson, pitching ace of the Washington club before he left here for Oakland and San Francisco. He said while in Oakland he would talk with Cal Ewing of the Oaks regarding a purchase. Ewing is said to have asked $450,000 for the Oakland franchise, which is held far too high by Johnson, who is reported to have been offered the Vernon club for $150,000. Johnson, it is known, considers Oakland a much better purchase, however, than Vernon. LAST NIGHT'S FIGHTS AT NEW YORK—Billy Levine, New York, defeated Irish Johnny Curtin, New York, 10 rounds; Jack Hausner, New York, defeated Jack Brady, New York, four rounds. AT BUFFALO—Jimmy Slattery, Buffalo, defeated Norm Genet of Akron, Ohio, six rounds; Tony Russo of Carnegie, Pa., defeated Bobby Tracey of Buffalo, six rounds; Joe Hall of Buffalo defeated Lou Louis of Montreal, six rounds; Vic Saintonge of Buffalo and Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne, Ind., boxed 6-round draw; Ben Rainey of Buffalo knocked out Jeff Brown of Bradford, Pa., in one round; Bobby Hamilton of Buffalo defeated Johnny Wilde of Buffalo, four rounds. AT SALT LAKE CITY—Izzy Tanner, St. Paul, drew with Virgil Sparks, Pocosillo, Ida; six rounds: Kid Plank, Denver, fought a four round draw with Babe Herman, Salt Lake City, Park City, Utah, draw with "Wild Bill Farrell," Salt Lake, four rounds. The burning question of the hour now is: Just where does John McGraw now stand as a master mind. And if he still is good at must Stanley Harper—the big league, be? Consider these facts. Harris, a newcomer in the managerial game and not an old man in point of service in the big leagues, lead a team into the world's series which boasted of not one hurler who had ever faced the National league champs in the fall melee. He had three pitcher who had proved dependable during the season—Johnson, Zachary and Mogridge. Johnson lost his first two games in the series. Mogridge's arm proved too old to go the route. McGraw had on the bench, to hurl at this green team, Art Nehl, Jack Bentley, Claude Jonard, Hugh McQuillan, Bill Ryan, John Watson and Virgil Barnes, all of whom had been under fire in the fall classic. Despite this fact Harris checked the Giants four games out of seven. Roger Peckinpaugh, star shortstop of the Senators, was out of three games. Catcher Ruel, ordinarily a timely and fair hitter, went hitless until the final game. The Washington club as a whole made twice as many mechanical errors as the Giants, due principally to "nerves" of the youngsters. They fought an uphill battle in three of seven games, overcoming the Giant lead. McGraw was handicapped by the injury of Heinle Grob, which kept him out of the series but other than that his team was at full strength, with the possible exception of the loss of O'Connell, who might have been used in a pinch hitting role. The Washington team—and Manager Harris more than any-one else on it—fought a logical handicap opened up series. The Gating Johnson—shoe team. Later the Senate face the task of taking straight games to win the second while the Giants needed but game. In the "inside" angles of pitcher Harris outgenerated McGraw's insertion of Bill Ogden right-hander, to start the first game, caught McGraw flat-footed Harris' strategy in ordering Johnson to pass up Ross Young twinthe final game to get at "Lo George Kelly," proved the correct "hunch" both times. Harris used his pinch hitter effectively as did McGraw. Whyfore, then, the "Man Mind" title for McGraw? Stanley Harris stands out as big hero of the world's series for two angles—his terrific and timely hitting, which put the Saints in the running or ahead critical moments, and his astute leadership. His battle of baseball strata with McGraw must go down the history of the game as a blunt affair. And Harris must rated the winner by a wide margin. TRYON LEADS IN FOOTBALL SCORING NEW YORK, Oct. 28. — Etyl Terry of Colgate jumped into lead for eastern scoring honor inter-collegiate football by scoring four touchdowns against Houston on Saturday and bringing his tal to 67 points. Benkert of Rogers ranks second with 64 points. Tyron and Denkert top the in touchdowns with 10 each. In spite of his heavy score against Michigan, "Red" Grass of Illinois ranks second in Big Ten conference scoring. His place goes to Baker of Northwestern, with 43 points, one than Grange has scored. Theater, however, did not play Sunday. FRIDAY CONCORDIA PLANS ATHLETIC SHOW One of the finest athletic exhibitions ever seen, in Anaheim is scheduled for Oct. 29, when expert turners of Los Angeles and Anaheim will give vaudeville acts. Under the noted instructor Mr. Carl Mettler, 20 of the best turners of the famous Los Angeles Turn Verin Germania will give acts of skill far superior to the usual acts seen on the theater stage as these young men have performed on the stages of Los Angeles theaters. Their first act will be on the horizontal bars, performing also the "giant swing." Then they will give a line of thrillers on the parallel bars. About five or six local turners will also do the same to show what they have learned in a short time with the instruction of Mr. Henry Miller, a prize winning athlete and trainer of turners for the big meets in Germany. Mr. Miller will also perform. Mr. Paul Krempel, a member of the 1920 Olympic American team, will also be with the L. A. athletes. Mr. Krempel held the title of Calif. allround athletic champion, but due to injury he was not able to try for the Olympic team this last time. It will be an inspiration to all to see turners both young and old, in action on the bars. Some of the L. A. turners are 50 and 60 years old but as active as the young ones. "Once a Turner always a Turner." The L. A. Turn Society is 100 percent American—no one can become a member unless he has his first citizenship papers. The club has 500 members and 70 attend every night. There are classes in wrestling, boxing, fencing, weightlifting, field and track events and all take part in the systematic exercises, which are classified according to the experience the pupils have. This club holds contests with the Los Angeles Athletic club in different lines of sports. CUB PANS ANXIOUS FOR 1925 PENNANT CHICAGO, Oct. 28. — Chicago fans are casting their eyes on the 1925 pennant in the National league following the players' deal which brot Grimm, Maranville and Cooper from Aldridge, Graham and Nichaus. On paper it is apparent that the Cubs got all the better of the trade. In Charlie Grimm, they secured a top-notch first-sacker and gave up for him Albert Niehaus, a rookie, who has yet to rank in the A-1 class. In Wilbur Copper, they obtained one of the best southpaws in the league, who, although not a youngster, won 20 games for the Pirates last season. In return for Cooper they gave up Vie Aldridge, a none too dependable twirler. In Rabbit Maranville, they secured the services of a brainy ball player, a top-notch among second basemen, and gave for him George Grantham, none too stable a fielder, who was spectacular at times, but committed many misdeeds on the field. The acquisition of the three Pitrates will give the Cubs the one attribute lacking in their makeup last season—experienced players. NOTRE DAME MAY DROP TIGER GAME NEW YORK, Oct. 28. — So far as contemplated now, there will be no meeting next year between Princeton and Notre Dame football teams, Coach Knute Rockne said here before taking his squad back to South Bend. Plans now are under way, Rockne said, to send Notre Dame against Pennsylvania in Philadelphia next year, and Pennsylvania probably will play at South Bend the following year. Rockne said his team was in good shape for its game next Saturday with Georgia Tech. Harry Stuhdreher was injured in the closing minute of play against Princeton and may be out for some time.

TROJANS BATTLE BEARS SATURDAY SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28 — At last the 1924 Univ. of Calif. football varsity has begun to function as a smooth running grid machine, according to supporters of the Blue and Gold, who base their optimism on the favorable 20 to 7 showing of California against Washington State Saturday, and hopes are high today (that the Bears may yet come thru with their fifth consecutive year of undefeated football. California's victory was the only decisive win scored by a major team on the coast Saturday. Stanford had a terrible battle with Idaho in Portland but finally managed to emerge on the long end of a short 3 to 0 score when Murray Cuddeback, Cardinal half-back, kicked a field goal. As the result of this game, Idaho can be considered out of the running so far as Pacific Coast Conference honors are concerned. The Univ. of Wash.

FAMED COACH DEAD NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Percy D. Haughton, 49, wonder worker of the gridiron, dead from an attack of heart disease as he stood on the brink of his greatest achievement, today was mourned by his followers at Columbia university, and by his friends on every rival campus throughout the east. He died in harness, from an illness which struck as he was putting on his football togs just before going to the practice field where he had moulded the first representative football team Columbia has had in 10 years. His death came less than 48 hours after the Blue and White's decisive victory over Williams, a victory which convinced football followers that he could transplant to Columbia the Haughton system made famous at Harvard in his nine years as head coach there. It was his second season as head coach at Columbia, and the improved showing of the Blue and White eleven held promise that the Haughton "will to win" and systematic discipline were producing something Columbia had not known in years—a winning team. FINISH SCHEDULE NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Columbia university's football team will carry out its schedule for the remaining of the season, including the game Saturday with Cornell at Ithaca.

RUTH DENIES HE "RAPPED" LANDIS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28.—Emphatically denying that he had ever "rapped" Judge Landis and that he had intimated he would jump organized baseball unless Landis rescinded his ruling against big league players participating in exhibition games after October 21, Babe Ruth bitterly denounced a San Francisco newspaper reported to have quoted him as being antagonistic to Landis. "I did not give or authorize any interview such as I am reported to have in San Francisco or any other place," the home run king said. "I do not intend to appear before the national commission in connection with after season playing." "Of course, we baseball players would like to play ball the year round and make a wad of dough all the time, but as long as baseball rulings are contrary to this, I will never swing my bat between Nov. 1 and spring training time," continued Ruth. The Bambino was met here, where he took part in a game for charity yesterday by a huge delegation of fans, headed by Harry Williams, president of the Pacific Coast league, Earl McNeeley, star Washington outfielder, who also appeared in the game with Ruth. POSTPONE GAME SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 28.—Shortly after the announcement that the second game of the "little world's series" between Seattle and St. Paul would be played this afternoon, a heavy rainstorm again flooded the playing field, necessitating another postponement.
