SPORTS. ¢ Carnegie, Georgia Tec WINNER OVERG. U HELD BAST'S BEST Plaid Has Two Hard Testsi Ahead—Some of Unbeaten | Not Highly Rated. | BY ALAN J. GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, November 12.—Na- tional championship foot ball aspirations have been blown about in none to gentle fashion so far, but when it comes to measuring the qualifications of con- | tenders, none stands out any more to- day than Carnegie in the East, Georgia Tech in the South, Iowa and Nebraska in the Middle West | There are others clamoring for recoz- | nition among the slim slate of the un- beaten, such as Florida, Tennessee, De- troit, Ohio Wesleyan and Boston Col- | lege. There are still more, such s West, Virginia and now Notre Dame that ‘ have gathered fresh headway after fal- tering in the early stages. The final returns are not yet in and they may take a lot of debate any way, but just now none has a better claim to recog- nition than Carnegie, Georgia Tech, Jowa and Nebraska. Towa and Nebraska have had close calls, 1-point victories which the Hawk- eyes gained over Minnesota and the | Cornhuskers over Syracuse, but they have decisively whipped their other foes. Carnegie and Georgia Tech have been caqually impressive, bowling over all op- position in a season where consistency has not been an outstanding virtue. Tornado’s Record Fine. Georgia Tech's Tornado, with a mighty line and one of the greatest all-around backs in the country in Warner Mizell, has just about as fine a record so far as any team in the land. It takes on added luster through Notre Dame’s thrilling victory over the hitherto unbeaten Army. | Tech's great, forwards smeared Notre | Dame a few weeks ago on Grant Field, decisively whipping the same Hoosier array that ripped the stalwart West Point defense to shreds Saturday be- fore a howling crowd of 86,000 at the Yankee Stadium. While this was going on, Mizell and other Tech terrors were raising havoc with Vanderbilt and crushing the pre- Iviously unbeaten Commodores. They take on Alabama's Crimson Tide this week at Atlanta. \ Camnegie’s claims to the top flight were_well buttressed ‘Saturday, when ithe Tartans took Georgetown, another unbeaten array, into camp in clean-cut !fashion. And just to prove that they | yhave no fears about staking their rep- utation on any fleld, Carnegie roams jout to South Bend this Saturday to | mingle with the rejuvenated Notre ‘Dame eleven. g Skibos Face Tests. If the Tartans get by this rugged test they have only to dispose of the |New York University juggernaut tle following week to finish with a clean |slate and perhaps earn a jaunt to the {Pacific Coast for intersectional honors. ‘There isn't much rest in sight, either, for Iowa and Nebraska. Burt Ingwer- sen’s Hawkeyes ride the “Big Ten” | crest now as a result of beating Ohio| jState, but they clash with Wisconsin this Saturday in another crucial con- |test. ‘The only thing that mars Wis- consin’s slate is a tie with Purdue, so | ‘that there is anything but a soft as- signment in p:ospect for McLain, Pape )} o and other Iowa aces. Nebraska, with the Big Six crown about clinched, turns to intersectional ifoes for the next two weeks, playing Pittsburgh this Saturday at Lincoln be- fore coming to West Point. The Corn- husker charge, led by the famous Blue Howell, is at its peak now, but it will ‘need to stay there to survive the im- » pending tests. The classic touch to this week’s pro- gram is furnished by the Yale-Prince- fon affair, but it won't have a great ‘Geal of bearing on the championship ituation. The Elis have been bumped much harder than the Tigers. They were upset by Maryland Saturday in one of the day's outstanding reversals, on top of a previous defeat by Army. Frinceton has been tied twice, by Vir- ginia_and Ohio State, but otherwise the Tigers have a clean, even if not| erly impressive, slate. | West Virginia, which has been coming ong like a house afire, winning seven 2 a row after losing the opening game 1o Davis and Elkins, runs into George- towy this week.

WISCONSIN, IOWA IN A DOUBLE RACE Not Only Tied for Big Ten| Title, but Are Fighting for Scoring Lead. By the Associated Press. g CHICAGO, November 12.—Iowa and Wisconsin_are not only contending for the Big Ten foot ball championship, but they are having a nip-and-tuck race for team scoring honors. Towa clung to its first-place margin Saturday, but Wisconsin gained on them by routing Chicago, 25 to 0. Today Iowa had compiled 140 points, while ihe Badgers' total was 135. Minnesota was third with 120 points, while Illi- nois led in defense with only 16 points scored against it. Crashing over for two touchdowns | against Indiana, Freddy Hovde, Minne- sota’s fleet quarterback, went into a tie with Oran Pape of Iowa in the race for individual scoring honors, with 48 points. Pape got into the Ohio State game only a few minutes and was un- able to get away. “Fritz" Humbert, Tllinois’ fullback, was idle while his mates played Butler College, but so lit- tle scoring was done by the leaders that he held second place with 42 points. Mayes Vclain, Towa's big Chero- kee Indian fullback, went into a tie with “Bo” Cuisinier of Wisconsin for third place by scoring the two touch- downs_that netted Iowa its 14-to-7 triumph. N Big Ten teams compiled a better average Saturday In kicking for extra points_after touchdowns than at any time this season, booting over 10 in 17 tries. Field goals were unsuccessful, not one being completed.

G. Netto, one of a threesome playing at the Kelsey_City links. Dr. Netto feed up and lunged a powerful blow. But the ball sailed into the depths of a ravine border- ing the fairway. He aimed a second time and almost duplicated the first shot. The third shot went straight as an arrow down the fairway, but after striking the turf, bounded nimbly into the pocket of Dr. V. D. Stone, his companion, who had walk- ed ahead of the threesome. e IR, COMPETITION HOT IN SOCCER GAME Most of Contests Are Close and One of Them Ends ina 1-1 Deadlock. Close competition marked virtually all six league soccer matches hereabouts yesterday. Clan MacLennan defeated Marlboro, 3 to 2, at Upper Marlboro, Md,, and Concord Club downed British Uniteds, 3 to 1, at Silver Spring in Washington Soccer League encounters. In Capital City League matches Fort Myer eked out a 2-0 triumph over Ger- mania on the Monument grounds, Rock: ville was a 2-1 victor over Marlboro Juniors on Rosedale playground, Arcad- ians routed a crippled Army Medical Center team, 8 to 0, at Walter Reed Hospital. and the newly formed Gaith- ersburg team fought Silver Spring to a 1-1 draw on the Monument grounds. With the Wyvill brothers, Vance and Schuster, playing strongly, Marlboro offered Clan MacLennan much more opposition than was expected. Johnny Malloch, Dave McLean and Willie Bry- den were Clan stars. Many of the players who participated in the Concord-British United game were fighting in the World War 10 years ago, the Concord players with the Germans and Uniteds with Eng- land yesterday’s game was a fitting Armistice day feature. It was a real battle all the way. Loule and Emil Konnel and A. Heller scored the vic- tors® , with R. Knight registering the losers’ lone tally, Scotty Linn and Jones were stars for Fort. Myer in its battle with Germania. The Soldiers were furnished stout op- position from the start. Rockville was given the liveliest sort of fight by Marlboro Juniors the ex- perience of the former proving the de- ciding factor. Earl Clark was the offensive ace for Arcadians as that team drubbed Army Medicos ‘That Galthersburg is going to make its opponents hustle was demonstrated by that club in holding Silver Spring to a tie. NO“CRUCIAL” GAME |Many Traditional Gridiron Rivairies, However, Are to Be Renewed. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 12— Eastern fans will have to fall back upon the pomp and cir- l cumstance of traditional rival- | ries for foot ball amusement next Saturday. The Atlantic Seaboard has nothing to offer in the way of a “crucial” game upon which a national championship will hinge. Carnegie Tech, at present the leading | Eastern nominee for the Nation's foot ball throne, goes to South Bend, Ind., to play Notre Dame, conqueror of Army. Boston College, the only other unbeaten and untied team in the East, tackles little Canisius, undefeated but tied once, at Buffalo, N. Y.; Bos"on College must dispose of Fordham al Boston today to take an intact record into the Canisius game. Color in Many Games. There will be color, sensation and thrills aplenty in such battles as Yale- Princeton, Columbia - Pennsylvania, Dartmouth-Cornell, Colgate-Syracuse, Detroit-Fordham, Missouri-New York University, Holy Cross-Harvard, Wil- liams-Amherst, Penn State-Lafayette, West Virginia-Georgetown and Buck- nell-Washington and Jefferson. Princeton appears destined to be a favorite against Yale. The Tigers, al- though tied twice, have not been de- feated. Yale has lost to Army and Maryland and will play at Princeton without Johnny Garvey, backfield flash, who suffered a sprained ankle in the Maryland game and may not even get into the game against Harvard, No- vember 24. On the strength of its victory over a highly-touted Harvard cleven, Pennsyl vania will be picked to beat Columbia, which narrowly escaped defeat or tie at the hands of a fighting Johns Hop- kins team Saturday. Dartmouth, upset by Brown, and Cornell, tied by St. Bonaventure for the second year in succession, will fight it out at Ithaca in a game that might well be classed as *‘consolation.” Although beaten twice, Colgate even at that has a better “paper” record than a Syracuse eleven trampled by Nebraska, Pittsburgh and Ohio Wes- leyan and tied by Penn State. Pitt in Big Game. Incidentally, Pittsburgh is a partici- pant in one of the big intersectional battles of the day, the Panthers going to Lincoln, Neb.,, to attempt to stop the undefeated Cornhuskers of Nebraska. Army engages in still another intersec- g:alll battle against Carleton at West t. ‘Williams is favored to defeat Amherst and win the “Little Three” title. Wil- liams defeated Wesleyan on Saturday and needs only to stop Amherst to clinch the title. West Virginia's fast traveling Moun- taineers may be able to “take” George- town, whose winning streak was snapped by Carnegie at Albany, Saturday. Fordham, after meeting undefeated Boston College today, tackles another undefeated aggregation, Detroit, Satur- y. Missouri’s light crew hardly figures to give New York University more than a little trouble, but Bucknell appears destined to make an already unsuccess- ful season a little more so for Wash- ington and Jefferson. The Penn State- L;tfl:yetu struggle looms as an even affair. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. HREE Washington Field Hockey Club players, Mrs. Margaret Haugen, Misses M. Fitzpatrick and Hazel Sayre, have been re- quested to report in Baltimore next Saturday morning for the tryouts of the Baltimore association prelim- inary to the naming of the All-Balti- more team to represent this section in the interassociation tourney, to be staged on the Friends School Field, in Baltimore, November 23, 24 and 25. A squad of two teams will be picked on Saturday, one to be designated as OLD CLUB TERMS VANISH AS GOLFERS PICK ‘NUMBERS’ BY WALTER R.

An inoppor- tune split has spoiled more than one possible record-making count. Two young bowlers had opportunities the past week to break the season’s high set record. One got favorable breaks and established a new high total. The other got a two-pin split in the ninth box and missed the big opportunity to record new game and set marks for the season. Johnny Anderson of Holy Comforter League, a youngster and prospective star, rolled the new high set mfl'rk. His 416 count topped Brad Mandley’s previ- ous mark by 3 pins. 3 L. P. Brockson of People’s Life In- surance Co. team in National Capital League had a big chance to shatter both game and set records. His count at the end of the eighth box was 135 and a difficult spare followed. His next ball cut out two pins, a discouraging break, and he finished with a 157 count. His previous 103 and 135 games brought his set total to 395. Washington Women’s Duckpin As- sociation was so well satisfied with the work of its officers during the past year that only one change was made in the new slate, Rose H. Mulroe was re-elect- ed president, Lorraine Gulli, secretary, and Leda Amidon, treasurer. Alice | Burke was chosen vice president in place of Edna Regan. All selections were unanimous. Pauline Ford and Edna Waterman made good their promises to set a fast pace in Women’s Doubles League by trouncing Lorraine Gulli and Irene Mischou, 2 to 1, in the first match for both combinations. Ford and Water- man had high set, 626, and Waterman had the best individual set, 320. Doris Goodall and Catherine Quigley are the recognized leaders with 4 wins and 2 losses, although two teams are tied with them on percentage figures.

Ever since Walter Johnson resigned as manager of the Bears to succeed Bucky Harris as leader of the Wash- ington team. the Newark club has been seeking to find a successor of Sir Wal- ter. The choice was between Speaker and Ty Cobb. Speaker and Sinnot con- ferred in Newark yesterday, and when the conference ended the latter an- nounced that “Spoke” had signed a two-year document.

BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 12.—W. consin and Iowa, two erstwhile underdogs of foot oall who would be kings, cross gridiron trails at Iowa City Saturday and to the victor may go the Big Ten championship for 1928. The combat between these two power- ful elevens, which haven't won a Big Ten foot ball crown in years, is the blue ribbon feature of this week’s con- ference program. The largest crowd ever to sce a foot ball game in Iowa is expected to watch it. Employing a brilliant aerial and run- ning attack, the Badgers and Hawkeyes rest undefeated on the pinnacle of the conference percentage column. Iowa has a better conference record than Wisconsin as the Badgers were tied by Purdue, while the Hawks have won all their games. Last Saturday, Towa stamped itself as one of the best teams to wear the Old Gold by whipping Ohio State, 14 to 7. at Columbus, and bringing its tcam scoring record to 140 for six games. ‘Wisconsin showed impressive form, too, while smothering a much weaker op- ponent, Chicago, 25 to 0, to keep in the race. JTowa Line Strong. Towa’s edge in Saturday’s battle lies in its forward wall. Against Ohio State and Minnesota, the Hawk line displayed a crushing attack and through it Icwa’'s star ball luggers, led by Mayes McLain and Willis Glassgow, made 306 yards. as against 111 for the Buckeyes. In McLain, ponderous Cherokee In- dian, Iowa has a wide edge on full- backs. McLain, who led the Nation's stars in scoring while playing with the Haskell Indians in 1926, has been good for two or three yards almost every time they were needed this season. With such a coterie of backs as Bo Cuisiner, Hal Smith, Bill Lusby and Sammy Behr and a line that Badger supporters claim is second to none in the Conference, Wisconsin is a dan- gerous team. Under the tutelage of Coach Glen Thistlethwaite, the Badgers have developed a beautiful passing game, which has mowed- down teams like Notre Dame, Alabama and Mich- igan. In punting, Wisconsin has Lusby, who averages close to 50 yards and who has sent several kicks for 65 and 70 yards. Rough Road for Rivals. Both Towa and Wisconsin have other hard games ahead of them and the possibility is strong that the race for the championship may end in a triple or quadruple tie. Jowa must beat Wis- consin and Michigan, while Wisconsin must defeat Iowa and Minnesota. Six other games, two of them Con- ference clashes, will be played Saturday. In the Conference scramble, Illinois in- vades Chicago and Northwestern journeys to Indiana. Other games of lesser importance are Haskell at Min- nesota, Michigan State at Michigan, Muskingum at Ohio State and Wabash at_Purdue. Jowa’s defeat of Ohio State was the high light of last Saturday’s skirmishes, while other games played close to pre- dictions. Wisconsin breezed through to a 25-to- 0 triumph over Chicago: Minnesota de- feated Indiana, 21 to 12; Northwestern won from Purdue, 7 to 6: Michigan came from behind to tie the Navy at 6-all, at Baltimore, and Illinois used several reserves to down Butler 14 to 0. ters, 198: B, McCurdy, Reproduction, 153: nd Murrell, 142. | High “individual ‘sets—P.
