SPORTS . Roper Names Michigan Over Harvard : Zuppke Figures Cagle Will Inspire Foe RELUGTANT T0 PICK G U MDDY WINNER Tiger Coach Believes Army Will Lose to Iltinois—Eli Leary of Terps. BY W. W. ROPER, Princeton Foot Ball Coach. ‘The foot ball games that stand out this week are Harvard-Michigan, Penn- Penn State, Army-illinols, Navy-George- town and Dartmouth-Brown. Harvard and the Army invade the Middle West against potentially power- ful teams. Although Michigan has been beaten by Purdue, Ohio State and Illi- nois, it has a big, rugged team, and I look for it to win from Harvard. Michigan has had two wecks' rest and Harvard has had three hard games in a row. On top of these comes the long trip to Ann Arbor., It looks like Michigan's chance. It looks as if the Army would have @& hard game with Illinois, and though Army has a strong team and a fine backfield I pick Illinois to win. Iilinois was defeated for the first time last Sat- urday, by Northwestern, but the game ‘was close and hard fought. Zuppke has a fine passing attack, and I think he has a great chance to beat the Army by the air. But it will be a close game. The Navy-Georgetown game will be close, and it's hard to pick a winner. Georgetown played a beautiful game against N. Y. U. last Saturday. It showed a powerful and varied- attack. Its backs are fast and versatile. Against this Navy has a strong, powerful team, with interference as good as any I have seen. Spring and Clifton are very strong in the backfield. ‘The Princeton-Lehigh game will be close. Lehigh has a big, heavy team, one of the best for several years. They ;l:t up a splendid game against Penn. inceton, exeept for the Navy game, has shown nothing. Yale, remembering last year's defeat by Maryland, when it was on the short end of & 6-0 score, will take no chances, but should have little trouble winning. Yale, after beating Army and Dart- mouth, looks very strong. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- . paper Alliance.) KANSAS AGGIE TEAM HOLDING LIMELIGHT By the Associatgd Press. KANSAS CITY, November 8.— For the second consecutive week the Big Bix foot ball game in which Kansas plays holds the conference spotlight. Beaten by Nebraska last week only after the 1928 champions had stood them off on the goal line in the closing minutes, the Jayhawkers tomorrow wiil invade Norman, Okla., and attempt to divest Oklahoma of its record of no defeats in the Conference. Oklahoma and Nebraska are the two unbeaten members, although Nebraska's record is marred by a tie with Missouri, Jim Bausch, big fullback who gained consistently and' for long distances against Towa State and Nebraska, prob- ably will be the main offensive cog of the Kansas attack against the Sooners. ©Oklahoma has worked this week on a defense against Bausch and also for :ge air game which it expects Kansas use. “Bo” McMijlin's Kansas Aggles, up- setters of the dope in their 7-to-6 de- feat of Missouri a week ago, will engage the tail-end JIowa State eleven in Man- hattan tomorrow. The Kansans may #be minus some of their regular backs, but will have more strength dn their forward wall with the return of three regulars, including Capt. Freeman, a tackle, who have been casualties for the last two games. Capt. John Waldorf may be back in his old position—center—when Missouri lines up in St Louis Saturday for a non-Conference fracas with Washing- ton. ‘With Ray Smith, regular center, injured, and reserve pivot men lacking in-experience, Coach Gwinn Henry has shifted Waldorf from fullback to the iine during part of the week’s practices and may use him there in the Tigers’ last game before they go East to meet New York University in Yankee Sta- dium. Nebraska rests this week after five strenuous games, SCALPER HOOKED AFTER HOOKING GRIDIRON FAN CHICAGO, November 8 (#).—Psy- chology has become a tool of Chicago ket scalpers. Working on the prin- ciple that anything hard to get is much sought after, speculators offered tickets for the Wisconsin-Chicago foot ball game tomorrow at Stagg Fleld for $8 apilece—$5 more than the regulation price. And with 20,000 good seats still unsold, they made several sales yes- terday. Among the sales was one to a repre- sentative of the University of Chicago ticket committee, who bought a pair of seats located back of the goal posts— and had the scalper arrested.

BY HOWARD JONES. Southern California Coach. Stanford-Washington — Stanford by three touchdowns. California-Montana—California. ‘Washington State-Idaho — Wi Southern NO BIG GRID TILTS IN PAGIFIC GROUP Stanford-Washington Game Only One Likely to Be Close Affair. BY HOWARD JONES. Foot Ball Coach University of Southern California. OS ANGELES, Calif, November 8.—There are only four games in which Pacific Coast Conference teams play this week end and none of these contests has much bearfig on the champlonship race, The closest game appears to be ‘the Stanford-Washington encounter, in Seattle. I can't see anything but a vie- tory for Stanford, pithough in view of| some of the recent surprising upsets, Washington may be accorded an outside chance. However, I expect Stanford to_win by three touchdowns or so. Undoubtedly Coach Warner will not cut loose against Washington, for Stan- ford is now pointing for the California game on November 23. As the result of Southern California’s defeat at the hands of the Golden Bears, the Novem- ber 23 game will be the one to decide the coast championship. California plays Montana tomorrow and ought to win without any difficulty. Coach Price’s team meets Washington the following week and then takes on Stanford. Inasmuch as he loses several valuable regulars this season, Price probably will elect to give his reserves a chance to display their wares against Montana. Washington State, just over a tough hurdle in Oregon State, faces Idaho. Although Idaho has a chance of win- ning I rather look for Washington State to_come out_on top. Southern California plays Nevada and ought to win without much diffculty, provided the players play the kind of ball they are capable of playing. In the Southern California conference the race is narrowing down to two teams, Pomona and Occidental. Pomona plays a non-conference opponent, Ari- zona, this week, and will have a tough time escaping defeat. Occidental en- counters Whittier and ought to win al- though only after a real battle.

CLASH Kaminer Out and Sloan Not Likely to Be in Shape to Play Tomorrow. NIVERSITY, Va., November 8. Grave doubts were expressed today as to whether Capt. Sloan, Virginia quarterback, will be able to play tomorrow in the last home game of the season against Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Capt. Sloan has been in uniform on Lambeth Field each afternoon this week, but he h‘nl nc;:fl‘g(&b‘nck mmt:hze form ui or play! n a contest. His m's'\?n?‘}m still s bothering him and has slowed him down so much that the coaches have not yet made up their minds whether to play him or not. Hunter Faulconer will probably start in the quarterback position, with Capt.| lis! Sloan in uniform on the bench, ready to get into action if the coaches de- cide to use him. Sloan will not be the only backfield veteran missing from the line-up, for Kaminer is in the hospital and may not even be allowed to see the game tomorrow. Kaminer has been in bed several days with a skin infection and has not practiced with the squad since Monday. o CATHOLIC U.

BY ROBERT C. z‘m‘l.mn . NE reason I believe our oS layers will play better against thz Army tomorrow than they have before this season is be- cause they must face a real star in Red Cagle. G s «This sound paradoxict here's the explanation. The appea ance of a player of the type of the Army captain gives & kick to & game lacking in.a contest between average players. The knowledge that they must cope with a back far ngve the ordinary often in- spires a team. i This was the case with Red Grange. Many of the teams he met played above their heads, afraid one little slip might let him break loose and win tihc game. 1 do not rank Cagle equal to Grange as an open-fleld runner, for I doubt if he 1s as fast, although he gives the im- pression of being_faster. But Cagle is the only player I have seen who can run to the right and then, without hesitating to get set, throw a pass di- rectly forward. Cagle pulls unexpected and daring plays, apd is a .constant threal Sometimes, after a great season, & star slumps the next not seem the case with Cagle. He made two long runs for scores against Har- vard, and against Yale he made a long run for a touchdown after intercépting a pass. Unless we have been able to improve the Illinois line this week we are in for a lick Against Northwestern our linemen did not give our backs a chance, houg! ills, Timm and Walker are fast and Iikely to make considerable Emund if the line opens some holes or olds long enough to let them run off tackle or around the end. Michigan is in the same situation as Tllinols. The Wolverine line so far has not functioned offensively. But Mich- igan's defense has improved since the ebacle at Purdue, and Harvard will find the going tough, I predict. Harvard : ® better scoring team, but its made by passing. I don't think the Crimson will get anywhere with their aerial offense against the Wolverines. Coach Kipke has had two weeks to get ready, and the game is at Ann Arbor. My guess is that Michigan will scratch it out somehow. In Iowa, I believe Minnesota faces the biggest obstacle in its path to the championship or a share in it. Th Hawkeyes have a good line, though per- ps not go strong as Minnesota's, Glassgow and Pape rank with any of the Minnesota backs, but Coach Spears has other good runner: Towa has had a rest of two weeks and will be fresher. The game is at Iowa City, which helps more than one thinks. Against the preponderance of evidence, my hunch is Jowa. Ohio State, undefeated in the Big Ten, but tied by Indiana, will meet a rarin’ Northwestern team, inspired by its victory over Illinois after long yea ear, but this does | Pe touchdowns against Army were | [ Hanley’s sophomores have tasted blood. and unless there has been too much celebrating at Evanston this week I be- lieve they will take Ohio. Neither team will have much nnxm:h. but the North- ‘western line is ly to prove superior. Wisconsin has been unable to score in four games. Enthusiasts expected the Badgers to begin this season where they left off last year, which made Glenn Thisthlethwaite's job all {he harder. Chicago probably has a strong- er line, and the Maroon backs will stack up with the Badger. ball carriers. My guess is Chicago. ] MIDWEST OFFERS BANNER GRID GARD W Has Trio of Intersectional Tilts and One Bearing on Big Ten Title. BY WILLIAM WEEKES. Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 8.—The om- inous quiet preceding stomns and wars permeated Western Conference foot ball camps today, in anticipation of to- morrow’s brilllant program of games. Headlined by three intersectional games and one contest of vital ocham- pionship importance, the day ranks as the biggest of the season in the Middle- west. Nearly, 300,000 spectators are ex- cted to jam into the stadia, with the Michigan-Harvard game at Ann Arbor, topping the list in attendance at from 87,000 to 90,000, but not outranking the Illinois-Army struggle at Champaign, as a spectacle. c While the Wolverines are asttempting by victory over Harvard to salvage something from the wreckage of their worst season since 1919, and Illinois goes out to atone for last week’s defeat at Northwestern, Minnesota will tackle its toughest foe of the geason so far, meeting Iowa at Iowa City. The other intersectional contest will bring to- gether Mississippi and Purdue, the Big Ten leader, at Lafayette, Ind. s Ohio State, the surprise team of the conference, Will pyt its Big Ten rec- ord, marred only by a tle, on the block against Northwestern t Columbus, and Wisconsin will try to account for initial conference victory at the expense of Chicago, at Chicago. diana, alone, will be idle. The intersectional games will have little bearing on national recognition, all of the teams involved, £xi Purdue, having been ‘defeated, the struggle to uphold sectional prestige will make up for the lack.
