NOVEMBER SPORTS. ‘Notre Dame Primed For Southern California: Panthers Attain High Rating in East 10000 T0 SEE B3 * GAME AT CHOAGD Trojans Arrive After Drilling During Stop-overs En Route From Coast. Ry the Associated Pres HICAGO, ovember 25.—At last Notre Dame's foot ball team has coaxed one of its _A4 greatest intersectional rivals, the University of Southern ynia, into its own nelzhhorhood, to meet the record-breaking demand for tickets the hoys of Nnute Tockne had to ir spectacle to the larzest stadium in the Middle West Field, in Chicago’s Gra T Trish of Notre Dame will find the wweatherman acting as though he ex- pected to be given a couple of tickets to the game. A Gloomy Thanksgiv- ing, just a le too cool to rain, brightened somewhat overnight, tem- = the November climate in honor peri of the southern Californians. The | gridiron was covered over so that it has heen virtually unaffected by the drizzle. Drill During Layovers. Short stops en route yesterday en- abled the Western invaders to work out the train stiffness, making condi- tions v even between the two squads. True, the Notre Dame team has not lost one of its best backs, as have the Trojans, who were forced to leave at home Don Williams with an injured leg. The burden of the offense thus has been laid on Morley Drury, southern California’s candi date for All-America halfback. The entire capacity of Soldier Field, 110,000, has been sold for more than a month, giving Chicago's stadium its second record foot hall crow teams fought to a 2 their first meeting wes! leghenies. Twice before Pacific Coast teams have come into the Middle West, and they fiave yet to go back home on the short end of the score. Oregon’s Aggies trimmed Marquette, 19 to 0, Jast year, and two vears ago Wash- ington held Nebraska, Study Trojan Attack. All week has been spent at Notre Dame in dummy scrimmage against the unbalanced line offensive planned by Coach Howard Jones for his Trojans. Llovd Thomas, brother of hnny and Harry, who starred a few rs ago for the University of Chicago, is the blocking halfback be- hind the weak side of the line, and is regarded as one of the best in the business. Behind the strong side of the iine Drury is launched for his smashes at the line or dashes off tackle. This intricate line-up explains w t is nearly always Drury who has the ball in the Trojans’ advance, but he can do so many things well that the opposition never knows just what he is going to spring. Thirteen of the Notre Dame squad will be playing their last game for Rockne. The Southern Californians arranged short limbering up exercises for this afternoon. Rockne gave his squad its final polish at South Bend, planning to_hop over to Chicago late today. The Notre Dame coach places little credence in the apparént sorrow of Southern California over the loss of Don Williams. Recalling their 13-12 victory over the Trojans last year, it was line smashes which gained the most ground for Southern California, while Williams is essentially an open field runner. . Drury Line Plunger. Drury can hit the line, and the Irish figure it will be that kind of a game. Capt. Herb Joesting of Minnesota gave them a sample of a great line bucker three weeks ago, and Minnesota scored only through a fumble in the snow- storm. Notre Dame has been busy de- vising a similar defense against For their own offense, the Irish have better open field runners than lungers, thougzh Johnny Niemic and Jimer Wynn usually are good for the Jast yard to a first down. This year exterous passer who shot the pizskin over the goal to defeat South- ern California at Lox Angeles last year, but there are several good pass ers in the Notre Dame backfield, and a couple of excellent receivers in’ Chilly Walsh and lke Voedisch, ends. The main threat of Rockne is Christy Flanagan, i the interference gives him a chance to hreak loose for a dash around the end. It is Flana- gan's last chance to get into the all- ‘America squad, as this is his final Rockne fired this projectile at vy with brilliant success, but MANY HIGH OFFICIALS TO SEE GRID CONTEST Br the Associated Pr With the highranking officers of the Army and Navy in predominance, much of Washington's officialdom will trek to New York tomorrow to attend the annual foot ball classic between the military and naval academies. IHeading the exodus from the Capi- tal, the two cabinet members, Secre- tary Davis of the War Department and Secretary ‘Wilbur of the Navy, have planned to witness the contest With them will go their assistant sec. retaries and practicaily all of the lead- ing generals and admirals of, re- spectively, tha Army and Navy. Of this group two Assistant Secre- taries of the Navy, Robinson and Warner, are expected to attend, while Maj. Gen. Summerall. Army chief of staff; Rear Admiral Eberle, chairman of the Navy general hoard, and Maj. Gen_ Barnett of the Marine Corps will be other distinguished personages. Intermingled with the service folk many Senators and Representatives and a goodly group of the foreign diplomats are listed to take their seats at the Polo Grounds. The scarcity of tickets, more pro- nounced than in recent years in the Capital, i9 regarded as an index of a keen interest hv Washingtonians in the game. But to the Army and Navy officers, from ecadet and midshipman to general and admiral, the event is ono of the most important occasions of the vear—a meeting place for ac. quaintances and friends separated for many years. BOWLING MATCH IS CLOSE. Junior Young Friends Club bowlers of Young Hebrew League scored a close decision over Walter Morgan pinmen last night, 1448 to 1,441 Lewis, with 2 139 game and a 344 set, was the star. H.

By the Associated EW YOR November — Hosts of the Army and Navy mobilized today in preparation for the annual gridiron battle at the Polo Grounds tomorrow which will be witnessed by a throng upward of 75,000, The fighting forces from West Point have gone through a season marred only by a defeat from Yale, and there- fore are favorites to vanquish their naval foes who have suffered sharp reversals from Notre Dame and Michi- gan. Notre Dame was an Army vic- tim. Yet the Midshipmen refuse to ac- cept previous performances as a cri- terion for this struggle, and are hope- ful of out-maneuvering the cadets. Out of 29 yearly meetings on the foot ball fleld, Army has won 14 games, Navy has taken 12 and 3 were draws. Navy's last triumph over the Army was a 7-to-0 victory in 1921. Both Coaches Bill Ingram of the Navy and BIff Jones of the Army had their strongest alignments prepared to send into the fray, but Jones may possibly employ his strategy of las ess. ITH the big game of the season scheduled for Sun- day, sandlot foot ball teams are about to conclude their 1 campaigns. Apache A. C. eleven, boasting the strongest brace of plavers in its his- tory, and Mohawk A. C., holders of the District unlimited title for the past several yveare, will meet in American League Park at 2:30 o’clock Sunday, in what promises to be one of the best championship games ever played here. Apache followers claim that their favorites have everything that they lacked in former years. Ty Rauber, former Central High and Washington and Lee University star, besides coaching the team is also a big cog at quarterback. He is expected to play the major role for the little Indians. Mohawks have a group of proved veterans who have been starring in sandlot ranks for the past five or six years. Their ability has been shown in previous title serie: Apache gridmen have not tasted de- feat th ason, being tied once. Mo- hawks have lost one game and tied another. “or the second time this season, Wintons and Northerns, leading 150- pound elevens, battled to a scoreless tie at American League Park yester- day. Wintons had one big chance to count, but were halted. Northerns ad several chances in the closing period, but could not put over a counter. After each team had scored 6 points in the first period, Palace A. C. eleven of this city, battled Lansdbwne A. C. of Baltimore, to a tie without further scoring yesterday at the Mary- Jand city. Deerborn scored the touch- down for the local team. Carlisles halted Northeast Colum- bias march to the 115-pound District title yesterday by meeting out a 20- t0-13 defeat. 1t was Carlisles’ seventh straight win and the first reverse for Columbias.

Despite the remarkable ability dis- played by the Army players this sea- son in the interception of passes, the Middies have been perfecting their aerial technique, evidently believing that a relentless air attack may prove the undoing of the land forces from West Point. The Army’s main reliance will be in its great backfield, with the brunt of the work falling on the shoulders of Capt. Wilson, Red Cagle, Nave and Murrell. Born and Harbold probably will do most of the wing labor. Lloyd, the backfleld star of the Navy, and Hamilton, another great passer, are expected to shine for the seagoing outfit. Lloyd, whose superb ground. ning ability has been a fea- ture of all the Navy games this sea. son, undoubtedly will get a big share of the assaults on the Army line in addition to his passing activities. More than 700,000 requests for tic- kets to the game were made to the athletic officials of the two institutions. Speculators today were asking any- where from $50 to $150 a pair.
