The record crowd was assured today by J. Arthur Haley, manager of ticket sales for the game. Haley announced that 109,000 tickets already have been purchased and that, with the remain- ing tickets certain to be disposed of at the game, and with the large force of helpers and police, the total throng would be 125,000 or more. . 500 Tickets Left “We have only 500 tickets left here and a like number in Chicago,” he said. “There isn’t any doubt but what the former mark of 123,000, established last year when the University of Southern California and Notre Dame played on Soldier field, will be eclipsed and a new high record hung up. We sold 11,000 tickets at the gate last year, but this time all tickets will be disposed of before Saturday. Ushers, police, ticket takers, newspaper men _and other helpers will total 15,000.” Tickets for the game, except the | 1,000 leftovers in the north stand, were at a premium today, and the scalpers ’ already were busy, with takers at $25 for each pasteboard. The sudden sally of winter worried Coach Knute Rockne today as he ‘ called off the training holidays for his regulars and ordered them into a serious drill for the game. While “Rock” believes his team will take the Cadets rosaebraed ihe pss ie ie a ago when the cold weath- er and ‘Iee-covered field made it al- most impossible for his fleet backs to perform up to their usual standards. It was almost the same weather to- day in Chicago, and Rockne hoped for a let-up in time for the game. “If it is snowing and the field is slippery we're going to have the toughest game of the season for sure,” he sajd.

Meanwhile considerable interest was manifest in another football attrac- tion at Soldier field—the doubleheader charity program Thanksgiving day, in which former stars of Northwestern and Notre Dame will meet in one University of West Virginia clash in the finale. Advance ticket sales today assured a crowd of 60,000 for the games, and the crowd may be swelled to 75,000 by game time. A.C.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Writer) Appraising with considerable per- sonal satisfaction the results of sweeping changes in the football rules designed to produce a more “open” game starting with the 1906 season, Walter Camp noted its “reinstate- ment in popular favor.” The new style of play, he added, “has made way for the lighter, more active and agressive dodger. The heavyweight lineman no longer is a deciding factor.” If the new rules furnished a break for the Albie Booths of 25 years ago, however, there was still plenty of ac- tion for the bruising, beefy boys up forward. Such giants in canvas jackets as Horr of Syracuse, “whose bulk effectually obscured the ball- carrier,” and Fish of Harvard were All-American stalwarts of 1908 and) Michigan, in this period, developed in Benbrook cne of the greatest, most powerful guards of all time. Changes Make Eckersall Flashier It was noteworthy that Chicago's all-time All-America quarterback, Eckersall, who despite his diminu- tive proportions had well withstoci the shocks of the old tug-o’ wars, was even flashier at the more open game because of his speed and all- around ability. Such power-runners as Jim Thorpe of Carlisle and Ted Coy of Yale were attracting attention by 1908, though the famous Sac and Fox Indian had yet to reach the ! | Player’s Opportunities CAMP’S 1908 ALL-AMERICA SELECTIONS First Team Second Team Third Team End .....

But he’s not par- ticularly apprehensive about it either. Was Fair End The gallant major, an end of fair capabilities at the military academy ‘back in 1916 or so, visited in the mid- west last week-end with some of his assistants and saw the South Bend flier stalled against Northwestern for three quarters only to tear things open in the final period. He came | back and told his own eleven about it.)

But that isn’t all. Another entertainment of a simi- lar nature, with every likelihood of |‘ the accompanying backset, is in store November 29, when the Cougars of Washington State move in on Vil- lanova. The Cougars happen to be the football team that recently beat Cali- fornia, and California, strange as it may seem, actually beat St. Mary’s. Not only did the Cougars beat Ca! fornia, bub they met what some of the California people recently re- ferred to as “the best professional team in the country,” Southern Cali- fornia, and sent the aforesaid team home on the short end of a 7 to 6 score. The small item of beating California and U. S. C. was accomp- lished on successive Saturdays, A. D. 1980. It’s pretty hard to beli but those are the scores the carried. - The craving for conquest hasn’t been confined to California teams. The Cougars have roamed up and down the coast, taking them as they came, including the University of Washington. Hollingbery Is Not College Man The full name of the coach of this hogwild crew is Orin E. Felix-the- Cat Eight-for-Ten Babe Hollingbery. ‘Whenever the writers along the western jumping-off place happen to have a stray nickname on their hands, they fasten it to Hollingbery. f all the coaches on the coast, Babe is the only young man who never had a chance because he never went to college. Oregon has Doc Spears, Dartmouth; Washington has Jimmy Phelan, Notre Dame; Oregon State has Paul Schissler, Lombard College; California has s Price, California; Southern California has Howard Jones, Yale; University of the City of Los Angeles has Spauld- ing, Wabash; Stanford has Pop War- iner, Cornell; Idaho has Leo Calland, U. S. C.; Montana has Major Mil- jburn, West Point. Hollingbery is just a high school boy, trying to ges along. ves papers Manufactures Teams The Babe used to manufacture football teams on a mass production basis. Back in 1920 in San Fran- cisco he was coaching three teams at a time and operating a couple of bat- {tery and gasoline service stations. The three teams were the Lick-Wil- merding High School, Bates Prep School and the Olympic club. Fron. 2 to 4 p. m., he coached Lick; from 4 to 6, Bates, and from 6 to 8, the Olympics, Washington State became inter- ested in the young man when his {Olympics in 1925 beat the “wonder team” that played as the California varsity in 1925, after the Bears had jgone undefeated for four ye: Earl V.

Another time they hung the nick- name of “Felix-the-Cat” on him be- cause he used to wear a heavy over- coat at the games, fold his hands be- hind his back and nervously stride up and down in front of the bench. !
