SPORTS. — GREAT RIVALS TO CLASH - IN EAST, WEST AND SOUTH Yale-Harvard and Army-Navy Battles Lead Program—Maryland Saturday to Entertain Catholic U.—Tulsa Will Visit Georgetown. BY H. C. BYRD. HILE the end of the foot main many of the most in \W% middle west and far west. In fact, ball season is at hand, still there re- mportant contests of the year in the several sections known to gridiron people as the east, south, some of the greatest contests of the year probably will take place cither next Saturday or the following Thurs- day, Thanksgiving day. Headlining the remainin Harvard. Any doubt that Yale pi schedule is the contest between Yale and ossessed one of the most powerful machines in its history was dispelled by news of what happened to Prince- ton. doubts, but_the game itself probabl; That Yale will play fine, hard foot ball against Harvard no one ly will be far better than the one in which the Tiger was sent bruised and bleeding back to his jungle lair. But more of this game another time. Suffice now to say it is one of the two remaining contests in which interest in all sections of the country is centered. The Army-Navy game is the other. Besides these two game! there is the annual contest Saturds between Lehigh and Lafayette and on Thanksgiving day the struggles be- tween Cornell _and Pennsylvania, Vittsburgh and Pepn State and West Virginia and WasRington and Jeffer- son. In the middle west are to be play two games in which great rivalr; ways has existed Michigan and and between Nebraska \ggles Thanksgiving.

And down in as when Texas A. & M. meets Tniversity of Texas it will be a case of a fine season for the winner and a complete fallure for the loser. On Thanksgiving day the Unive of Virginia fights out its differ- with the Univ v of North Carolina, Virginia Polvtechnic Insti- tute with Virginia Military Institute, ‘ashington and Lee with North Carolina State, Kentucky with Ten- nessee and, besides these, Johns Hop- kins and the University of Marylan will continue their series of gridiron arguments that began thirty-one years ago. And another southern Contest yet to be played Is that in which Washington and Lee goes against Centre College. _Games of speclal local interest left are: _Saturday, Catholic University and the University of Maryland play at Col- lege Park, while Georgetown will be host to Tulsa University at Griffith Stadium. Thanksgiving day George Washington and Catholic Unlversity meet, and_the following Saturday the Quantico Marines and 3d Army Corps are slated to settle their differénces at iffith Stadium. On the same day orgetown plays Fordham at Ne! York. ptedly will be heralded as tne greatest gridiron upset of the season is the victory Colgate scored over Syracuse, Tne former had been going along domg only fairly well since its great strug- gle early In the vear with Ohio State, one of this year's weak teams in the Western Conference, while Syracuse had been whipping the best of them. Penn State and Pittsburgh fell be- fore it, and Penn State and Pitt nearly always may be measured up with the most powerful elevens, Col- gate, on the other hand, had been losing to the strong teams. But, as was pointed out in this column last What undo far and wide Week, pre-game comparisons count for very little when Colgate and Syracuse meet. it will greatest ‘The de- It Yale defents Harvard, and out as probuoly the 1oot ball team of the year. cisive result of that contest with J'rinceton last week left no room Vtor anybody to doubt that in the Yale “leven is sutficient power to whip iny other eleven. There might be kames In which that full power would not be exercised, but, never- theless, the power is thére.

The Ithaca machine seems to be fed with h.gh-power gas and to be hitting on all cylinders. The pre- zame outlook is indicative of anoth- er victory for Dobie's men. Penn inay be saving something for the New Yorkers, but if it couid not stop Penn State it will have its hands full keeping Pfann and his company of celebrities away from that final line. ball teum . that Dlayed ageinst Georgetown told the ' writer that Hagerty, Blue and Gray ha:fhack, was one of the best halfbacks he iad over seen and that he felt certai. there was not a more clever running halfback in the south and few, If any, better in the east. Hagerty's performance against Bucknell Satur- day, as well as his play in previous contests, tends to bear out the states ment about his capabilities. Against Bucknell he produced the only touch- down for hix team by a brilliant run and, in addition to that, ran back kioks and gained ground consistently. Hagerty's ~funning back of kicks more than made up for the distance by which Diehl outkicked Byrne. Catholle University made & great showing in its game with Muhlen- berg, but seemed unable to hold the pace it set in the earlier stages of the contest. The Brooklanders at one time held a lead of twelve points, but finally were nosed out by 16 to 12. Pennsylvania's Two weeks member of a foot Maryland has mot scored touch- downs on any team it has played this ' scason more easily than it scored against North Caroline State’s physi- cally powerful cleven Saiurday. That was in the first half, though. In the second half the game took on a dif- ferent aspect and the Marylanders had rather rough going. Gaining ground was considerably more diffi- cult and their defense weakened per- ceptibly, especially defense against forward passes. North Ca lina State had a team that seemed if it should be a powerful aggrega- #lon, but for some reason it appeared unable to pull together consistently. It is rather interesting to note that Maryland scored mofe points against the “Raleigh eleven in the first half than any other feam has been able to score in a full game. Maryland came out of the game In fairly good shape, about the only Injury sustained heh‘:i‘ a bruised leg by Bromley, left tackle. Virginia was aot able to defeat Virginia Polytechnio Institute, but it must have thrown one great scare into the camp of the Blackburg Col- jege, flgured to win rather easily, Virginia held a three-point lead dur- ing three quarters of the game, but finally the clever Button came through with a long run which put the ball down in distance and even- tually gave V.

RACE SEEMS western conference foot ball cham-i pion for 1923 will come from among Illinois, Michigan and Min- nesota, with probably the winner of the Michigan-Minmesota tilt at aiming first honors with Illinois.

The Gophers, by defeating Towa last Saturday, 20 to 7, displayed a strength that was unexpected, while Mlchvla could beat the less-experienced cbnsin team only 6 to 8 in a game in which they were outplayed & good share of the time. In' that contest Jack Blott, regular Wolverine center, took a place alongside Irwin Uteritz on the injured list. These losses have weakened the Michigan team. Should Illinois overcome Ohio State, as expected, and either Michigan or Minneésota win a victory there would be a-tie in the conference, judging on a percentage basis. Minnesota, however, has a tie score with Wis. ! consin to reckon. On other big ten games this week, ! Wisconsin plays Chicago at Chicago {in a°game that attracts wide atten- ' tion, while Iowa meets Northwestern at Evanston, and Purdue meets In- diana at Bloomington. Michigan and Wisconsin furnished the feature contest last Saturday In thelr clash at Madison. The Wolver- !ines came out with the long end of a | 6-to-3 score, after Rockwell, their | substitute center, on returning a punt was twice knocked down by players and regained his feet to rac 55 yards for a touchdown, with Wis: consin men looking on. They con- tended that the Michigan man had been tackled and the ball made dead. After a consultation officials ruled that Rockwell had kept the play mov- ing and that Michigan was entitled to the touchdown, Angered by the decision, the crowd rushed on the fleld after the game was over and tried to seach the reféree, but was held back by mem- bers of the two teams who formed a guard for the official.

In past years she has had ma- terial almost If not quitc as good as this season’s outfit, but the driving mentality has been lacking. Now she has this and as a consequence no eleven the writer has seen this season anywhere has seemed more gifted in an” all-around way than this Yale eleven. Tho those who did not see the Yale- | Princeton game the =core is liable to give wrong Impression of the contest. The Tigers were defeated by an out- {fit that was superior in every way, {but they were by no means outclassed and they gave Yale a hard and in- | teresting afternoon. { _They tackled well, their line defense | was ‘entirely worthy, they fumbled that gained almost as many first downs as Yale gained. What Nassau lacked was what she has lacked all season—and whit Yale did not lack— the will and the abllity to score touchdowns. for a foot ball eleven to possess. i The man who has not taken the buf- | fets of the game might thing other- wise, "2ight think that to come upon the fi T mentally certain of victory is a g.'at asset. But it isn't. For the backs who think they are going to gain almost at will may run up against a wall, and the forwards who expect an ecasy afternoon e counter gruelling opposition.

Forward passes caught backs and ends nap- ping, errors were made by men not accustomed to making them, and so —disaster. Without taking credit away from Colgate, but merely be- cause of knowledge of what Syra- cuse has done and had It in her to do, one cannot resist the feeling that | this reseit should not have been. When a runner goes to the ground and the ball has stopped moving for- ward It is supposed to be dead. The referee must blow his whistle, but when he fails immediately to blow it and the runner momentarily has ceased his forward impulse, all rules i of common sense and fairness justify the official in calling the ball dead at that spot. A case in point ocet in the Michigan-Wisconsin me, | when Rockwell of the Wolverines i scrambled to his feet and ran fifty yards for a touchdown after the Wis- consin players regarded the ball as down. The rule that the ball Is dead : when it ceases to move forward was | applied by the rules committee in order to prevent unnecessary piling on the man with the ball. “Officials, of course, are supposed to hold up + the hands of the rules committee in enforcing the intent of the rule. Of course, not having seen this game, the writer can but refer to the Incident along the broad lines of the rules. Brown’s defeat of Harvard was un- i expected, to say the least, even grant- ing that several of Harvard's best players were comfortably seated in the Yale bowl watching the Blue play Princeton. It bespeaks the dom- inance of Harvard's foot ball directors that they are able to place their uni- versity in the way of humiliation by teams supposedly inferior through a desire to gain some .advantage over Yale.

Important Games Ahead of College Elevens : High Schools End Series This Week GRID GAME BETTING STIRS MINNEAPOLIS MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, November 19.—Sporting, city and university au- thorities in Minneapolls are aroused by disclosures that commerecial gam- bling echemes are using college foot | ball as the subject of betting pools in this city. Members of the city council an- nounced they will ask police prose- cution of alleged bookmakers. Investigators estimated that more than 38,000 was paid Saturday night on foot ball wagers at two centers of the pool operated in the down- town district here. Denouncing the pools, George K. Belden, president of the Minneapolis base ball club of the American As- soclation, urged that the gamblers be_given maximum jall sentences. “Think what would happen if some college player got mixed up in the, kind of_ scandal that wrecked the ! Chicago White Sox a few years ago!” he sald. “It may happen if the thing is not stopped at once.” Foot ball pools, if allowed to operate, will kill amateur sports, President Lotus D. Coffman of the University of Minnesota declared. “Imagine young men on our team being approached by professional gamblers,” he sald, “yet that is ex- actly what will happen if this thing is_allowed to go on.” Fred W. Luchring, athletic dir tor of the University of Minnesota, appealed to the public to halt bet- ting, and urged newspapers to aid by not quoting odds on foot ball games. He said western conference officials unanimously are opposed to betting in any form. —_— NOVEL GOLF EVENT | CAPTURED BY HAGEN RYE, N.
