SPORTS Army-Notre Dame Fight on Fi ELEVENS HAVE ALL - ATSTAKE IN CLASH Victory Means Glory for Cadets, for Irish Step Toward Title. BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, November 29.— Army vs. Notre Dame, the cholcest foot ball bit of the season, between two great, undefeated elevens, with around 125,000 spectators to watch it on Soldier Field today. Everything was at stake for both fiemaryvicm for the Army meant the Cadets’ greatest campaign. Triumph for Notre Dame meant one more stride toward national championship honors. Conditions were fitted to test the mer- its of every man to the utmost, with promise of an icy gridiron and Mid- winter temperatures. Had the game been scheduled for New York, the Cadets might have been at even money with the Irish, but in the West Notre Dame always is the favorite and the Rough Riders from South Bend ruled at 2 to 1—a healthy drop from the 5 to 1 quoted earlier in the week. There was little wagering, however, with most of it on a point basis. Fine Lines to Start. No definite announcements were made as to who would start when the teams took the field at 2:30 p.m. (East- ern standard time) today, but Coach Knute Rockne, who kept his men in South Bend until this morning, indi- cated he would send out his best line and the second Notre Dame backfield. Maj. Ralph Sasse, Army's head coach, had available his most powerful com- bination and indicated he would send it out at the start. Notre Dame brought a string of 17 ht victories to Soldier Field—eight mfln this season—over Southern Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech, Pitts- burgh, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Drake and Northwestern. Army had triumphs over ton _ University, , Swarthmore, Harvard, North Dakota, Illinois, Kentucky Wesleyan and Ur- sinus, along with a 7-7 tie with Yale. The meeting was the seventeenth since the rivalry started in 1913, and in which Notre Dame had 11 victories, the Army 4, with 1 scoreless tie. Play on Frozen Field. Weather predictions for today were cloudy skies, snow flurries and warmer temperatures, although it was expected it still would be below the freezing int. wm frigid weather of the past three days left the gridiron as hard as rock, with uncertain footing. After running over the fleld for two periods Thursday morning, the Oregon State College eleven managed to find the combination to score twice, and the ted with et gy FIELD BALL STARS MEET Prince Georges and Charles County Gir]l Champs in Btate Game.

CHOICE DATE FORV. M Accepts Virginia Invitation to Ded- icate Grid Stadium. UNIVERSITY, Va, November 20.— Virginia Military Institute has accepted an invitation to dedicate the new foot ball stadium of the University of Vir- ginia with a game here October 17, 1931, according to James G. Driver, athletic director. ‘This will be the twenty-sixth foot ball game between the Cadets and Cavaliers since the rival State institutions began gridiron relations in 1893. Virginia has played more games with only one other school, that being the University of North Carolina. | Virginia's new stadium will not be the | largest. but it will be one of the most beautiful in the entire South.

SPECTATORS THINK CHRISTNER “DOVE” Heavyweight Claims Leg Was Hurt as Mickey Walker Knocks Him Out. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, November 29.—/| Some of the approximately C 4,000 who went to the Coli- seum last night to see Mickey Walker fight K. O. Christ- ner today believed the world mid- dleweight champion knocked the Akron rubber man clear out of the ring—but most of them har- bored a suspicion that Christner landed among the spectators, at least partly, by his own efforts. The finish of what was listed as & 10-round encounter in which Walker gave away 353 pounds in his second raid among the heavyweights, came after 38 seconds of fighting. Walker charged out of his corner, smarking Christner with a hard right to the jaw and & left to the head, dropping him in front of the three members of the Illinois State Athletic Commission, Gen. John V. Clinnin, Fred Gardner and George Getz. He arose at the count of three and retreated to the opposite side of the ring where another left hook caught him and he sailed between the second and top strands of the ring. Claims Leg Injury. Christner landed among the specta- tors and rolled over the press table, 1al to the floor, where he lay as the officials tolled off 20 seconds. Under Illinois rules, a fighter knocked from the ring is entitled to 20 seconds dur- ing which to return. At the end of the count he staggered to his feet and struggled through the ropes, limping on his right leg. He was helped to his corner where he said he could not continue. The fight was awarded to Walker. Gen. Clinnin would make no state- ment as to whether the commission planned to investigate the bout. Clin- nin’s only comment was: “Christner, if his leg is injured as seriously as he believes, certainly has been paid for his efforts. Both were hoxing for a percentage of the gate, al’llqt the meager crowd promised a small split.” . Walker and his manager, Jack Kearns, lingered in the ring only to get the official verdict, then hustled from the ring. Take It as Joke. Even before the decision was an- | nounced officially, the crowd milled | down toward the ring shouting “fake” | and booing and hissing. There were no attempts at disorder, however, and the spectators walked slowly out of the buil , actually laughing at the out- come of the bout. Whatever the customers thought of the main bout, they apparently enjoyed the semi-final hugely.

STRIBLING IS DOUSED AS GLIDER PLUNGES Flies Well Enough, but Things Happen in Landing, So W. L. Takes Dive. By the Associated Pres: ORLANDO, Fla, November 29.— W. L. Stribling, the boxer, was doused with cold water here late yesterday, but not by his seconds. Stribling arrived in his airplane from Miami with his father and his wife and saw a glider on the surface of a lake near the airport. He asked permission to fly it, admitting he had never flown one. Airport officials agreed and the glider was pulled into the air by a high-pow- ered motor boat. Stribling did well with the motorless machine, but it was while landing the craft on the lake that things started. He made a beautiful landing, airport officials said, but at the moment the pontoons struck the water a wave upset the glider and W. L. went into the | middle of the lake, clothes, parachute and all. Weighted down by the 'chute, | he disappeared under the water.

November 29 —Fidel La Barba, Pacific Coast featherweight, gained a decision over Bud Taylor of Terre Haute, Ind, at Madison Square Garden last night, but a chorus of boos greeted announcement of the official verdict. Most of the gathering seemed to think Taylor's two-fisted punching had gained him at least a draw with the one-time flyweight champion. Taylor carried the fight his opponent most of the way, but La Barba's close de- fensive nuliified the effects of many of the punches Taylor tossed his way. The bout was fought almost entirely at close quarters with one left hook matched against another. There were no knockdowns nor the semblance of one.

HICAGO, November 20.—Army and Notre Dame, both un- beaten to the hour of their meeting, are ready and from 110,000 to 120,000 foot ball fans will see Knute Rockne and his South Bend | Cyclones go out after a ninth straight | victory before starting for Los Angeles | and Southern Californie on Monday. | Just a year ago the Army startled the | foot ball world by outplaying an un- | | beaten Notre Dame team the greater | part of the distance, to lose on a 97- | | vard run by Jack Elder after the nimble | | interception of an Army forward pass. | The Army today, generally rated with only a minor chance, expects to startle | one of the greatest foot ball crowds of all time by giving Rockne's dashing raiders an even battle, leaving the final results to the fortunes of war or the break of the game. Notre Dame has been traveling in & hurry since October 4 and down the stretch it lost Joe Savoldi, its most de- structive pounding back, while Martin Brill, its best all-around back, has been somewhat badly battered up. Notre Dame reeched its peak against Penn- sylvania and T doubt that it can come close to the same peak again. The Brill affair kayed Notre Dame up that | afterncon and there had to be a sub- | sequent drop, plus the loss of Savoldi. So if the Army can put an alert, de- | ceptive attack into action in this game, | it won’t be far from an even affair, un- d the conditions mentioned. Cer- z:iuy no long odds on Notre Dame are Justified now. Crowd and Interest. 'OOT BALL fans have been pouring into Chicago for two days. The crowd will not only break a season’s record, but the general interest over a wide area is sharper than any other game so far has known.

LTHOUGH the South and Far West had yet to break into the exclusive ranks of Walter Camp’s All-America first eleven, they gained representatives on the all- star squad of 33 players in 1915. Eight universities “made” the first team, Harvard and Cornell being the only ones to have more than a single representative. On the entire squad 21 colleges gained places. It marked fresh recognition by the “father of foot ball” of the game's rapldly developing character. His selec- tions were a far cry from the early days when the old Big Three domi- nated the lists. For the first time, in fact, neither Yale nor Princeton was represented. Harvard, however, placed three men, Gilman, King_and Mahan, to soften somewhat the blow to the Old Guard's prestige. HE outstanding teams of 1915 were Cornell and Pittsburgh. The Ithacans handed Harvard its only defeat of the season and ran up a great record, with a team featuring “Chuck” Barrett, Murray Shelton and ‘Gib” Cool. Harvard swamped Yale by 41 to 0. Three of the 1915 All-Americas, Clarence Spears of Dartmouth, Earl Abell of Colgate and Bob Peck of Pittsburgh, gained later fame as coaches. So have such others on the honor Toll as Bob Higgins of Penn State, Josh Cody of Vanderbilt and Jock McEwan of West Point. By this time rival critics had begun sharpshooting at Camp's selections, which in earlier years had been ac- cepted without dispute. His failure to name Elmer Oliphant, Army's battering ram, on the first team was a subject of debate.

Mandley Great Three Ways Combines Skill, Stamina and Headwork to Win Exciting Victory in Bowling Marathon. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ITH the second hand in » v ing off vital moments at the finish and the cheers in his ears, Bradley Mandley gave a great exhibition of bowling skill, of the finest triumphs of a victory- studded career in the John Blick Hall last night. Of the three winning essentials, eran of the mapleways was most noteworihy. He piled up a lead in by game, to chip away much of the lead in number of games rolled by through most of the way the time pace setter. ter what a participant’s average, it was necessary to finish within an strings.

He won the marathon by half a min- ute and 31 pins. Burt Parsons was second and Bill Gartrell third. The Army’s Chance. ET the Army has a chance and & fair one. It must first come in outcharging a Notre Dame line. which is no easy matter. But the Army has a fine line, one of the best, and it will be a fresh line thrown against somewhat weary troops. This can make a terrific difference. Big Price should be the best tackle on thé fleld and he be one of the strongest defense teams | Notre Dame has faced all vear, pos- sibly the strongest. For there is strength | and experfence, power and speed, from end to end. ‘The Army to win must first impose its will over the Notre Dame line. When this happens you can stop almost any attack. If the Army can't accomplish this it will almost surely lose, for the Notre Dame attack is faster, more di- versified and combines better running and blocking. If Brill is in fair shape there are still no. better backfields than Carideo, Brill, Schwartz, Mullins and Hanley. And it might be remembered that the Army attack is no lumbering affair, with Bowman, Kilday, Stecker, Fields, Herb and others around. Bowman is a high-class quarterback, fast, smart and always on top of the job. There will be two star quarter- backs at work in this game, two of the best in the country. And that should mean few tactical mistakes. The Army's best chance is to catch Notre Dame wern down from the pounding Northwestern battle and still looking in the direction of Southern California. To be caught between Northwestern and Southern California is no oasis for any team and only a squad well supplied with reserves would have even the ghost of a show. Notre Dame has heard reports and rumors from the West Coast that many Southern California supporters are looking for an overwhelming Western triumph, something approaching the Southern California-Pittsburgh matter of a year ago. When you consider all these turns and twists it is, of course, ridiculous to figure the Army without a chance, or even a pretty fair chance. ONE FOR PORTNEY. NEW LONDON, Conn., November 29 (). —Jack Portney, Baltimore, beat Mays of New London in 10 o+ T 1385. Mandley’s average for the 100 games 13-82. Parsons’ was 113-51. Soon after the nine bowlers simul taneously began bowling at 12:35, each having an alley to himself, it became apparent that the other marathoners would need struggle to finish within one hour of either Parsons or Dave ‘The fleld narrowed to five shortly after the half-way mark. George Isemann, secretary of the N. D. B. C., was the first to scratch, withdrawing after 32 games with a split finger. Arthur Kelly was the next to go after 36 games. Dutch Newman, who, with Gartrell, shared high game honors with a 162- string, followed with blood oozing from his fingertips after 64. His final game, however, was 123. Then, with only Parsons, Legum, Gartrell, Mandley and Henry Hiser left, the marathon became a dog- fight. Legum, rolling many of his balls down the gutter, compieted the 100 at exactly 7 o'clock. Parsons finished at 7:20 with 11,351 pins, and Gartrell, totaling 10,822, con- cluded a few minutes after Parsons. Brad and Henry Speed Up. It was here that Brad Mandley and Henry Hiser, the former having the highest average but least games rolled, cut loose. Pistonlike, Mandley’s arm rose and fell, the first ball invariably bringing a strike or spare break. In the ninety-ninth game he made a double-header strike, but after that it was 10 on the first ball or nothing. The following two balls were rolled intentionally down the gutter to save time. He finished half a minute be- fore the hour was up and 31 pins ahead. Hiser, in the seventh box at 8 o'clock, the deadline, finished his hundredth game a minute and a half overtime. That space of time cost the suburbanite third-place money. His total was 11,168. Mandley collected $145, including the $100 donated by Blick and the cut of the entrance fee. Parsons won $30 and Gartrell $15. For sheer gameness, honors went to Hiser, who hasn't been completely in trim since an accident of nearly two years ago that Emly paralyzed his back and right wing. Few thought he would finish or, if he did, be anywhere near the top. MOHAWKS, CELTICS PRIMED FOR FRAY Local Sandlotters Anxious to Avenge 1929 Defeat Against Alexandrians Here Tomorrow.
