BY HERBERT W. BARKER. Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 14.—The dope would indicate that those who got slapped a year ago will do a little slapping on their own hook Saturday. Yale's beating by Army and Mary- Jand have pushed Princeton into the favored position as Tiger and Bulldog prepare for their fifty-second clash at Princeton. Princeton’s record is scarce- ly impressive, marred as it is by ties with Virginia and Ohio State, but at least the Tigers have avoided defeat. Last year Yale beat Princeton, 14-6. Cornell has the memory of a 53-7 beating to take into its comnig battle with Dartmouth, and the odds are no worse than even money that Gil Dobie’s squad can give the Indians their fourth successive defeat. Williams, now leading in the race for the “Little Three” title, is the experts’ choice to down Amherst and avenge & one-point defeat of last year. Lafayette is conceded at least an even chance of beating Penn State, which trounced the Leopards, 40 to 6, in 1927. Nebraska's undefeated Cornhuskers will remember their 21-13 defeat at Pittsburgh last season when they take the field at Lin- coln against the Panthers. No Romp for G. U. Georgetown, beaten for the first time by the smart and tricky Carnegie Tech eleven, has small hope of repeating the 25-0 triuntph it scored over West Vir- ginia. Bucknell will be favored to turn the tables on Washington and Jefferson, which won, 19-3, last year, and Wes- leyan should have little trouble taking Bowdoin into camp a year after suffer- ing a 30-12 defeat. Carnegie Tech and Notre Dame did not meet last year, but Knute Rockne can tell his Hoosiers about a certain November afternoon in Pittsburgh two year ago, when the Tartans trampled an undefeated Rockne team into defeat, 19-0. Carnegie will be staking the un- defeated record at Cartier Field, South Bend, this Saturday. On the other hand, Pennsylvania and Harvard are favored to repeat the vic- tories they scored over Columbia and Holy Cross, respectively, in 1927. Col- gate and Syracuse, renewing an ancient feud at Syracuse, have a 13-13 tie to pl;{ off. avy, Brown and Boston College will be rather more than surprised if they don’t account for Loyola of Maryland, New Hampshire and Canisius, respec- tively. Even Battle Here. The Rutgers-Lehigh battle looms as an extremely evenly contested struggle, as does that between Grove City and Villanova, both undefeated, but tied. In view of Missouri’s unimpressive record in the Missouri Valley this sea- son, New York University, generally conceded to be one ‘of the best teams in the East, will be a_decided favorite in this battle at the Yankee Stadium, but Fordham will be an equally decided underdog against undefeated Detroit. a’rmy should have a romp agzinst Carle- n. 135-POUND ELEVENS TO CLASH FOR LEAD Capital City Foot Ball League's un- defeated teams will clash Sunday.

AREN'T . You K\SS THE BRIDE T RUTH FEATHERS NEST RAISING TRUST FUND By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 14.—Babe Ruth’s trust fund has grown by $10,000. The big sock man of the New York ‘Yankees came to town yesterday, visited his bank and deposited enough cash to increase his trust fund to a grand total of $130,000. The Babe started the fund | after his disastrous sexson of 1925, ar- ranging the investment so that he could not touch the principal. The fund now assures the Babe a yearly income of $10,000 or thereabouts, Practically all of the principal has come from what Ruth terms “com- mercial by-products” such as barn- storming trips, vaudeville, the movies and advertising. ADVERTISEMEN' \NG To ‘ MAYBE HE wiLL AT OUR GOLDEN WEDDING WEST VIRGINIA MUST STOP THEM IF IT IS TO BEAT HOYAS SATURDAY DEMPSEY ‘COMEBACK’ ONLY TALK THUS FAR NEW YOREK, November 14 (#).—Jack Dempsey's second come-back campaign apparently hasn't gotten beyond the talking stage yet. The old Manassa Mauler met Tex Rickard yesterday in a conference wide- ly ballyhooed as of momentous import, but both said after the meeting they had talked about everything but boxing. Tex said Dempsey might talk about the question of coming back to the ring at a dinner party later in the day, but added that nothing would be given out for publication for several days at least. Whatever the situation actually is, close followers of the game are certain that the former heavyweight champion again will don the gloves and do what he can to restore public interest in the caulifiower industry and, it may be added, increase his bank roll by half a million or more. They believe Dempsey probably will return to the ring at one of New York's ball parks next Summer, possibly against Paulino Uzcudun, one of those willing mixers Jack likes to fight. Yellow base balls are being tried out by many American professional teams. The idea is better visibility. ADVERTISEMENT. HARRELL’S GOOD GOLF MAKES ROESCH CADDY The other day R. T. Harrell and his business associate, Frank K. Roesch, went down on Chesapeake Bay for a two-day sojourn to look over Harrell's duck blind. They took their golf clubs along, never knowing what might crop up to induce them to play. And, sure enough, on the way back, Roesch sug- ge:ted that they play at Sherwood For- est. There were no caddies available and they had to carry their own bags. So | men, while kfield. Leading Grid Games Saturday LOCAL TEAMS. Griffith Stadium .. College Park, Md.

By the Assoclated Press. LEXINGTON, Va., November 14.— Washington and Lee's {ull strength, with the exception of Marnett, alter- nate fullback, will be available here Saturday when the Generals attempt to stop Virginia Tech’s marsh toward the State title. BLACKSBURG, Va., Ncvember 14 (#).—Phil Spear, fleet sophomore half~ back of Virginia Tech's eleven, will be unable to play against Washington and Lee in the Generals' homecoming game with the Gobblers next Saturday at Lexington. Spear dislocated his collar bone in the battle against Virginia last Satur- day. Mattox, veteran of three cam- pllins. will probably be Peake’s running mate. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, November 14 (®).—Four of the Tarheel ecripples scrimmaged yesterday, as North Car- olina coaches settled down to the real business of preparation for the game with Davidson Saturday. Howard and Adkins were or duty in the varsity line that faced the Fresh- and Magner ran in Roesch made the proposal that the man | the bacl losing each hole should carry his op- ponent’s bag on the next hole. Har- rell won the first hole and never had to carry his bag thereafter for the bal- ance of the nine holes they played. Although Harrell didn't wgl them all, he managed to keep Roesch from win- ning and the Washington club title- hold%r had to tote Harrell's bag for the round. Harrell, by the way, did the unnsual stunt the other day of driving a ball out of bounds and still securing a birdie | his on a par 5 hole. It happened on the seventa hole at Indian Spring. After driving out of bounds he secured an ac- tual 3 on the hole, which scored as a 4 bcanuse of the penalty stroke in- curred. ADVERTISEMENT.

NEW YORK, November 14.—The Finnish nemesis that snatched many honors from American amateur track stars is on_the trail of the professional runners. Paavo Nurmi, the phantom Finn who swept the tracks as an ama- teur, sailed for America yesterday with the understood intention of turning professional on his arrival here, and it seems probable that Willle Ritola, who has taken most of the honors Nurmi left, will join him. Ritola’s entry for the National Amateur Athletic Union cross-country championship, which he has won five times, had not been received on the closing day, nor did his club, the Fin- nish-American A. C., send in a team entry. With the reports from Helsingfors of Nurmi’s intention of turning pro, this default of Ritola's title is taken as an indication that the two Finnish stars will be matched in a professional barn- storming tour of America. CHICAGO-ILLINOIS GAME WILL ATTRACT 60,000 CHICAGO, November 14 (#).—Uni- versity of Chicago’s foot ball team may have had the most disastrous season of its history, but it can still fraw a crowd.

It will be the Moroons’ last game of the season. —e Pelota, as now played in Spain, is laimed to be the fastest ball game in b world. PASSING BADGERS MAY WORRY I0WA Northwestern Has Overhead Game Ready for Match With Hoosiers. BY ORLO L. ROBERTSON, Associated Press Staft Writer. HICAGO, Novemter 14.—The Western Conference gridiron atmosphere is apt to be filled with flying foot ball Saturday, but forward passes should do much to clarify the final 1928 stand- ings. Doubtless Wisconsin, deadiocked with Towa for the Big Ten leadership, will look to the air for victory over Iowa at Iowa City. The Iowans are not adverse to passing if their running attack falls. “Gloomy Glenn” Thistlethwaite, with a well perfected overhead garae, is askin? for a dry fleld when he sends h's light, speedy backs against the powerft] Towa forward wall. While depending largely on the off tackle smashes and end runs of McLalr and Glassgow, the Hawkeyes are fi: from weak in the passing game. Mc Lain, the Cherokee Indlan, is equally adept at passing as he 1s at punting and carrying the ball. lcwa also hat two reliable ends in Moore and Reed- quist to receive McLain's heaves. With an aerial game that has menaced every team met this year. Northwestern is expected to flip passes with the same degree of accuracy when the Wildcats meet Indiana at Bloom- ington. A passing machine built around Capt. Walt Holmer has completed bet ter than 50 per cent of its attempts. Hoosier Backs Good. Indiana, weak on the overnead game¢ will match Northwestern's varied at- tack with a running attack centered around one of the best set of backs in the Conference. Offensive Capt. Chuck Bennett will be back in the line-up as will defensive Capt. Matthew Given only an outside chance of de- feating Illinois, the Chicago Maroons are going about the task of building a passing game that will bafle the Illini defense. Illinols has shovm itself no- ticeably weak against passes all season. For the first time this s:ason Coach Robert Zuppke is pleased with the Illinois eleven. The Illini mentor all season has decried the fact that his 1928 eleven was not the team of 1927 despite the many_veterans in the line- up. This week, however, Zuppke says he will throw a much improved team lg;\;lst Cl;xlclhgo. ur of the Big Ten teams, Ohlo State, Purdue, Michizan and Minne- sota, will entertain non-Conterence op- ponents. Minnesota tangies with the Haskell Indians; Michigan renews its feud with Michigan State; Furdue takes on Wabash, while Chio for Illinois with Muskingum.

Men are cigar smokers for the taste and enjoyment there is in the cigar—not for the gratifica- tion of a nervous habit. One cigar is not lighted from the end of an- , other. The day's end does nat find cigar smokers high-strung, in an exhausted mental condi- tion. They smoke slowly, leisure- ly, getting from each puff a full measure of pleasure—without penalty to nerves or throat. Perhaps the basic reason for the great prevalence of throat troubles is the irritating action of hot burning smoke on the very seasitive membranes of the mouth and throat. A prominent New York throat specialist is authority for the statement that: “Cigar smoke is cool, because the tobacco burns slowly and the smoke is filtered and cooled as it isdrawn through thecigaritself.” Make this test for a week—smoke cigars exclusively and you will find yourself feeling better, with no cough or throat irritation, improved nerves, increased vi- tality and less of that tired feel- ing.
