SPORTS. SPORTS 58 " Gonza CLOSE STRUGGLE APPEARS CERTAIN Purple Is a Slight Favorite and Needs Victory to Even Up Series. N annual foot ball game tomor- row at Clark Griffith Stadium, upon the outcome of which will depend the District prep school title. The contest will start at 2 o'clock. Devitt planned to confine its practice this afternoon to a light polishing drill, while Gonzaga was to attempt nothing more strenuous, and was doubtful if it even would take the gridiron. Bob Gallagher, star center, may not be able to start for Devitt because o water on his knee, and Gonzaga may have to begin the game without the services of Bussink, Dunnington and Pinckney, all regulars, and all of whom are suffering from influenza. As the game approaches it is becom- ing increasingly apparent that a close battle will be in order. Gonzaga had been given a slight edge until the past few days, in view of the Purple's more impressive record this season, but the poor physical condition of several mem- bers of the Gonzaga squad is expected 10 weaken the I Streeters. for Devitt would make three for that school against one for Gonzaga since the teams started meeting annually in 1924, and a win for the Purple would give it two victories against as many for Devitt. Devitt won in 1924, 39 to 0. when the schools started meeting. There was no game in 1925. Gongaga was the winner in 1926, 33 to 0, and last Fall Devitt triumphed, 6 to 0. Should Gallagher not be able to play center for Devitt. Joe Cummings, a lighter player, probably will hold forth at that post. Duvall, a reserve back, and Shipman, a second-string lineman, probably will| get in the fray for Gonzaga if some of | the ailing regulars do not show im- provement between now and game time. EITHER the Devitt nor Gonzaga squads planned heavy work to- day in preparation In preparing or its season Tech High | School's basket ball squad will scrim- mage against Gallaudet's tossers next Wednesday at Kendall Green and later will line up against George Washington and American University basketers. Artie Boyd, new Tech coach, believes | that scrimmages with college siuads | will afford his boys more valuable ctice than would be obtained rough early season games. Boyd now has cut his squad to 30. These boys are being sent through their paces daily in Langley Junior High gymnasium. Baskets for the new Tech gym have not arrived. Capt. Jake Goldblatt and Paul Brown, veterans, are likely to be found at a| forward and a guard post, respectively. | when the Tech team finally is picked and others who are striving for berths include Sorrell.

Capt. Jim Schmidt, clever halfback, is the lone regular of the 1928 squad who will be missing, and his loss will be more than offset by the fine mate- rial which will come up from this year's strong freshman team, which went through hte season without suffering a defeat and without being scored upon.

MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, December 7.—With such highly combustible sub- jects as poselyting and eligibility providing material for fireworks, | Big Ten athletic directors, coaches and faculty advisers assembled for their annual sports conclave in Chi- cago today. | While there had been no specific in- formation of a blow-off, rumors were thick that at least two universities, Chicago and Illinois, were ready to de- mand a showdown on the conference policy of obtaining athletes and on in- forcement of the eligibility rules. Matters of policy were expected to| consume virtually all the discussion of foot ball and basket ball coaches, who already have drawn up schedules for | 1929. Coaches in minor sports, however, had the long task of schedulc-makmg‘ ahead of them. | ‘The cases of Mayes McLain, Iowa’s| charging Indian fullback, and Allan; Holman, Ohio State quarterback, who| came to the Big Ten after playing foot | ball at other colleges, were expected to | be decided or else referred to the com- mittee on eligibility for immediate action, Several protests have been made | against these two players. Indications that Dr. John resigned Ohio State foot ball coach, may announce his future plans at th> two- day conference also created considerable interest. Coach Wilce has been reported to have received coaching ofiers from Harvard, Dartmouth and Nebrask: W. St, John, director of ath ©Ohio State, may name Wilce's successor, Wilce, | relays. Dates for the Penn and Ohio State relays also were to be given to Big Ten track coaches so they can ar- range their schedules, if necessary. Wiilliam G. Bratton of Chicago, an official of the United States Amateur Hockey Association, planned to request Big Ten officials to adopt professional hockey rules. Bratton said virtually all amateur hockey associations had adopted the professional rules and Big Ten contests would be faster and cleaner with them. Furthermore, Brat- ton said, experience with professional rules enables a college player to star quicker in pro leagues if he should de- Cit;lt’ to enter those ranks after gradu- ation. | | i Three strong | C.
