The “House That Ruth Built” accom- modates 86,000 persons and there won't be any vacant spaces, barring stormy weather, when the kick-off is made at 1:30 pm. All seats have been sold out for weeks. Non-partisan fans will be interested mainly in what sort of black magic Glenn S. (Pop) Warner has taught his Stanford boys this year. New York knows what Biff Jones' husky Army cadets can do. Now they'd like to see another demonstration of the Pacific Coast brand of foot ball. The glimpse they got on Thursday when Oregon State so thoroughly trounced New York University convinced all but the most skeptical that it is a very, very 800d rand indeed. . The East may know little about Stan- ford except what it has read over the breakfast table, but it knows Pop War- ner very well. As an originator of tricky and une: plays, Warner has seen, it is possible, no superiors and few equals. BY ALAN J.

There are more backfleld aces in the deck than in any year since 1925, the charmed group, along with Ober- lander, Nevers and Wilson, without a stiff argument make a fair all-American 'quartet.

Mizell f Georgia Tech, Peake of Virginia Poly and Armistead | of Vanderbilt or Banker of Tulane. And these are only five oumeudml players in an exceptional crop. Even if the Midwest lacks a Grange or Friedman to toss into the argument this year, there's a sensation a little farther on in Dutch Clark of Colorado Coilege, while Chuck Carroll of Wash- ington has won the unanimous acclaim of Pacific Coast éritics for his brilliance. The East will indorse any testimonial for Howard Maple, who led Oregon State to victory over New York U. with neatness and dispatch that even of Carnegie could not Harpst ac- complish. 1If it's triple threats that are desired. Scull, Strong. Mizell, Clark and Carroll can fill the bill, besides backing up the | line. Scull is an artist at the rare sci- | snce of drop-kicking If it’s fancy passing and broken field running.

On his best afternoon sagainst Wyoming, he doubled this average with gains of 374 yards in 19 plays. Picking out the line stars is as dif- ficult as it looks. Star ends have been Jacking, with a few exceptions like Frankain of St. Mary's, Fesler of Ohio State, Brown of Missouri, Van_8Sickel of Florida. Messinger of Army, Phillij of California, Rosenzweig of Carnegle, Tappan and McCaslin of Southern Cal- ifornia. Powerful line units such as those of Georgla Tech, Pittsburgh and Illinols | have their stars, but the main factor | of success has been their general and co-ordinated strength. The South has been rich in_good centers, stalwarts like Peter Pund, o&mu Tech captain; Harry Schwartz of North Carolina and O. K. Pressley of Clemson. But there's also Capt. Howe of Princeton, Barragh of South- ern California and Stadelman of Oregon. Here and there powerful combina- tions have stood out like Post and Robesky, the Stanford guards, or the giant Nebraska center trio of Holm and Mcltwullen. guards, with James at center. It’s one thing to star with the aid of a fine supporting cast on a champion- ship contender—another to stand out where the going has not bén so good. Team adversities have helped to light the beacons for players like Ned Burke, Navy captain and guard: Otto Pommerening, Michigan's great tackle; Choc Sanders, Southern Methodist guard; Carroll of Washington and Banker of Tulane. Pommerening, weighing only 178, but and rugged for his poundage, played every game from start to finish. In the final contest against Towa, as Michigan salvaged one of its few victories from the wreckage, eight of the nine plays in the 63-yard march to the winning touchdown were driven through Pommerening'’s position. That's a pretty fair All-American test. MARINES, NAVY GRIDMEN ARE FACING HERE TODAY Quantico Marines and Newport Naval Training Station elevens were to meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock in Clark Griffith Stadium in the annual President's Cup foot ball game. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, com- mandant of the Marine Corps, and Speaker of the House Nicholas Long- worth were among the prominent persons invited. Both teams were primed for a real battle. Marines were given the edge by many in view of their more im- pressive record this season. Tech and Eastern High School foot ball teams, winner and runner- up, respectively, in the public high title series, were to be guests at the game. Youth Vs.

UT of the closest battle for foot ball honors in the his- tory of the Western Con- ference, a gallant Illinois eleven emerged with its sixth gridiron title, and became the “third Big Ten team to establish a clear claim to first place for two successive seasons. Five teams, half the membership of the conference, faced a title chance on the final day of the sea- son, but the Illini pulled a stride away from the field by eliminating Ohio by 8 to 0 as Minnesota wrecked the hopes of Wisconsin in a 6-to-0 game, and Michigan spiked the Iowa argument by shading the Hawkeyes, 10 to 7, in a get-away fray at Ann Arbor. The 1928 Illini started by defeat- ing Indiana by 13 to 7 and North- western by 6 to 0, and then saw Michigan run away with a 3-to-0 decision in a contest for which the Urbana eleven had been patticu- larly pointed. ‘The title hopes of the Illini seem- ed to have vanished, but Bob Zuppke, coaching his sixteenth Illinois elev- en, readjusted his team for the final drive, which might yet land the championship.

With an eye to the golden wand that means millions of dollars—the heavy- weight championship—W. L. started off like a bat out of the box. Neuman held on continually and prevented Young Billy from showing at his best. W. L. started off by smacking the fat Jersey boy to the body. Neuman doubled up and offered a poor target for the Georgia boy's shots. And so it went on round after round. Stribling led and Neuman doubled up. The Jersey City fat boy was in the rlntmué stay the limit. The ia peach hard and landed hard solid blows to the face and body of his opponent with little effect. In the sixth found the end came abruptly. A left hook to the body fol- lowed by a short right to the jaw landed solidly on the jaw of the half-hearted opponent of Stribling and the fight was over.

ETROIT, December 1.—Ray Mil- ler, blonde-haired 22-year-old Chicago youth, today is brew- ing poison for Sammy Mandell, world’s lightweight champion. Miller, heretofore regarded as an in and outer in the boxing business, be- came the foremost contender for Man- victory over Jimmy McLarnin, the baby- faced puncher from Angeles, in their battle in the Olympia Arena last night. Miller, a 5-to-1 shot in the betting, scored & surprising triumph when he stopped McLarnin, acknowledged king of lightweight sluggers, in the seventh round of their scheduled 10-round bat- tle. '.rhe victory goes into the record books Larnin, bleeding from an ugly gash under his right eye, his face a smear of blood, sat in his corner hopelessly beaten and unable to respond to the bell for the His handlers, tched un on the ring, humanely tossed the ropes, indical defe: | first knockout ever registered against McLarnin. Miller, conceding 5% pounds, really defeated McLarnin in the first round, although the contest did not end untii six rounds later. In the first exchange of blows, Miller smashed McLarnin with a viclous left hook. The blow caught WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER. Inoreased interest in basket ball among teams of the independent class is evidenced in the early season appear- ance of a number of new squads on the local horizon as well as the concentrat- ed attention given to pre-schedule prac- ticing by the old squads of the Wash- ington Recreation League and Colum- bia Federation circuits, the two major leagues in operation. Indian Head women's basket ball team is the newest to send out a chal- lenge to all comers in the independent class. Word was received from this sextet this morning that they are primed for games and challenge any in- dependent squad in the District or vi- cinity to meet them either at home or abroad. Mrs. M.
