E whooping it up for that Eastern-Gonzaga foot ball battle tomorrow after- noon at the Eastern Sta- dium. Both Eastern and Gonzaga authorities are keen to build this game into a big annual Thanks- glving attraction. It seems they have a great chance to succeed in this. There’s already a lively rivalry between the schools, one that is sure to become more spirited as the years pass. It's & good, clean rivalry, too.

HICAGO, November 26.— ‘The outstanding player of the Western Conference foot ball season, that closed | season. last week, unquestionably was Wesley Fesler, Ohio State’'s cap- tain and brilliant right end. Coaches, officials and eritics, so often at loggerheads on foot ball questions, are almost unanimous in the choice of Fesler at the conclusion of a season that saw the devzlo&ment of mnny superb linemen and the Big Ten boundaries. Fesler had been one of the llm'l outstanding ends for two seasons, it was as the handy man of the Ohio eleven this year that he showed his greatest capabilities. Fesler took com- mand of the Buckeye team after it had lost two of its first three conference games and drove it through the re- mainder of the season without a defeat. After the loss to Michigan in mid- October,, S8am Willaman, the Ohio coach, found himself without s de- pendable field general, punter and pass- er.

He carried the ball successfully, and the threat of him be- hind the Scarlet wall made many of Ohio's running plays go for good gains. Defensively ler overcame the weaknesses that marked his play against a wingback offense in other years. He was outstanding in his de- fensive work, and Northwestern was the only team to nearly hold him in check. And the Wildcats accomplished the trick by assigning two of their hardest blockers to the big Ohioan. After the game ] Dick Hanley, the Pur- ple coach, said: “Fesler did everything an end possibly could try. He rushed, sifted, gave ground and paddled and put up one of the greatest exhibitions of end ay I ever saw.” jo's game with Navy Fesler fllured in 41 plays, either kicking, car- mrm and passing the blll or making Alll.nll Pittsl burgh his kick- l g and defensive plays were nfendm Swisconsin launchied a few runs at mleu end and then gave it up as & bad job.

For years the Pennsylvania- Cornell game has been one of the out- standing attractions. I favor Penn by & small margin.

Pitt plays Penn State. The Pitt Panthers look too strong. Culllu vith probably the most powerful team in East, meets Brown. I feel cmnu should win, but Brown undoubtédly will put up a tough fight.
