S SPECULATORS BT FIRST OPPORTUNITY Prices Boosted Nearly 100 Per Cent—Cadets Rule 7-5 Favorites. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 26.— Army and Notre Dame, | matching foot ball strategy f and power for the nine- teenth time in the Yankee Sta- dium today, set one seasonal| precedent before a single shot was | fired. So intense was the demand for | tickets, even at $6.60 and $4.40, | that New York’s speculators held the whiphand over Mr. John H. Fan for the first time this season. It was a sell-out with prospects of a erowd of 80,000 paying an aggregate of between $325,000 and $350,000 at the ing to recoup some of the losses | ve suffered in a year when economic conditions have struck so sharply at fcot ball attendance that sell-outs have | boen virtually non-existent, ticket mblers boosted prices for today's spectacle nearly 100 per cent. RANDSTAND ducats marked at $4.40 were on the market at $7. To buy a box seat with a face value of $6.60, fans dug down into their jeans for $11. And the “specs,” whatever the Jjustification, warned dilatory customers that prices would soar even higher be- fore game time. Ithough the weather man's most Wfimifitlc prediction was for “cold and rain,” the East’s largest crowd of the season seemed assured. The dramatic outcome of previous Notre Dame-Army games, the pageantry furnished by West Point’s corps of cadets, the certainty of an exceptional brand of foot ball, all these contrived to stir up tremendous interest in the battle. Army, as fast and powerful on the offense as it has been adamant on de- fense, ruled a 7-to-5 favorite over the Ramblers, although most contests be- tween these rivals have been decided on a single “break.” Each suffered a defeat at the hands of Pitt’s Panthers, but the experts liked the way Army rebounded from that one reverse. 'HE week after Pitt had won an 18-18 victory in one of the most | Big spectacular games of the season, Armypemupped ‘Yale, 20-0, and then reached the peak in handing Harvard a 46-0 trouncing. Since that game Army's regulars have played only two minutes in actual competition, going in last week just long enough to score the touchdown that beat West Virginia ‘Wesleyan. Army lost some of its defensive h in the Harvard game, when g, crack end, suffered a frac- tured ankle, but Maj. Ralph I. Sasse has dug up adequate replacements. Notre Dame, none too impressive in its winning games against Kansas, Northwestern and Navy after the Pitt defeat, also has been handicapped this week by injuries and illness. Melinkovich, & “great back; Emmett Murphy, reserve quarterback, and Jim Harris, a tower of strength in the line, ‘were stricken by influenza, and Ray Brancheau, halfback; Joe Kurth, mighty tackle, and the regular ends, Capt. Paul Hest and Ed Kosky, have been suffering from injuries. All of these “cripples,” however, expected to play at least a part of the game. XPERTS seeking all-America ma- terial fixed their gaze on Capt. Milt Summerfelt, Army's great guard, and Felix (Pick) Vidal, the ficet little quarterback, whose pass-catching and running have been sensational features of Army’s smashing campaign. Notre Dame offered, in rebuttal, Kurth and Melinkovich among others. Of the 18 games the ‘teams have played since 1913, Notre Dame has won | to 12 and Army 5, with one tie. Game time was 1:45 (Eastern stand- ard time). The corps of cadets was to enter the stadium at about 12:30. The contest will be broadcast. ‘WJSV of Washington of the Columbia chain will hook in on the show at 1:15.) Frobable line-ups: Position. Notre Dame. . Kosky | Kopesak ...

Hen TODIE RIGGS ON PAN But St. John's Coach Has Many Loyalists After Poor Year. | ANNAPOLIS, « November _26.—Some opposition has developed to the re- newal of the contract with Philip (Todie) Riggs, former University of Maryland athlete, as athletic directcr and foot ball coach at St. John's Col- lege, this city, based vpon the poor showing of the eleven during the sea- son just ended. It was by far the worst for many years. On the other hand, Riggs is strongly supported by many friends. It is pointed out that this was an off year at St. Johns, the material being below grade, and that such things happen at times in most colleges. They point to | victories over Johns Hepkins, St. John's traditional rival, in 1928, 1929 and 1930, in most cases by big margins. more) e J.

Navy Supporters Figure Even Chance. Special Dispatch to The Star. NNAPOLIS, November 26.—The hard work of preparation for the game with Army, the cli- max and grand objective of the grid season, is over at the Naval Academy, and no Navy regular is likely to make a real attempt to carry the ball against an opponent or try a regular tackle until he lines up against the Army team on Franklin Field a week from today. There was no practice for the reg- ulars yesterday, nor will there be this afternoon, as Head Coach Miller took his regular team and half a dozen ranking substitutes to New York to see the Notre Dame and West Point teams in action. He believed that they would get more good from this inspection than they possibly could from any sort of practice. Next week will be given to signal and formation work to polish up the piays, both running and passing, and perhaps, some defensive work against passes. ILLER indicated by his choice of players to take the New York trip that he would adhere to his in- tention of using the same starting line- up as that which has began the last three games prior to the Notre Dame Irish Clash Before 80,000 : C. U. Battles Loyo la A ROCK-RIBBED CENTER ON DEFENSE. —By TOM DOERER contest. In the latter, he started with the second backfield, but used his reg- ular line for nearly all of the game. This line-up is: Left end, Murray; left tackle, Brooks; left guard, Reedy (captain) ; center, Harbold; right guard, Burns; right tackle, Kane; right end, Pray; quarterback, Slacl left half, Chung Hoon; right half, Borries; full- back, Campbell. The second back field will bé: Quarterback, Becht; left half, Clark; right half, Walkup; fullback, Erck. These 15, with Cutter and Dor- nin, substitute center and end, re- spectively, made up the New York party. HE feeling is growing in naval cir- cles that the team this year has more than an even chance to win. It is felt that the team has the abil- ity, as shown by its fine defense in all recent games, and strong attack in por- tions of most of them, and that it will show the fight and consistency in its final game to give it at least an even chance of victory. Navy people do not concede any su- periority in the line to the Military Academy. In fact, they are inclined to ‘believe that in Harbold, center; Kane and Brooks, tackles, and Murray, left end, it has something of an edge, and nearly even strength &s to the other forward positions. .

THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC HERE are times when it takes something more than a matter of tradition to build up a foot ball series into a flashy pageant, which catches and holds attention. For example, there is the Army- Notre Dame meeting, which has now become one of the leading foot ball fixtures of the year, one of the big| games of any season. This is largely | due to the fact that Army end Notre | Dame, regardless of what may have happened earlier in the full, have nearly always put on one of those stir- ring dramas that are full of thriils. You can go back to the days of Rockne and Dorais—to Eichenlaub and Gipp. I still recall the great duel between Gipp and French, where both ran wild all afternoon. There also is a keen remembrance of the days when the four horsemen | rode against the Army in two great games. In each case Notre Dame was the big favorite, but in each case Notre Dame barely won. Talk to any old Notre Dame player | and he will tell you the Army in any year strikes with unexpected force, no matter what its foot baill record for the season has been. That was true last Fall when a keyed-up Army team swarmed all over a strong Southw Bend contingent and where for the first time | in his career Marchy Schwartz found TARS of Washington's radio broad- casts will be among the entertainers | at the Walter Johnson testimonial at the Shoreham Hotel.

The function will be an informal affair open to the public. It will pro- vide a final opportunity for fandom of the National Capital to honor the for- mer manager of the Nationals, generally recognized as one of the greatest pitchers of all time and an outstanding | sportsman of the Nation.

BY SAM MURPHY, The Old Scout. HE suggestion that base ball teams absorb the Government tax on admissions leaves President Sidney Wetl of the | Cincinnati Reds cold.

But Weil contends that the teams cannot afford to absorb the tax. “Not more than three owners in the National League made any money,” he says. “Only two col- lected anything like a reasonable profit on their investment. Had Cincinnat! absorbed the tax it would have caused me to lose an additional $40.000. “Race tracks can cut their purses. In commercial lines there can be himself resting on the back of his| neck most of the afternoon. Today's Meeting. T so happens that Army and Notre Dame find themselves today with more than a normal supply of man power—with two of the strong teams of the country. Both lost to Pitt's strong Panthers in games, which might have gone either way, & turn that foot ball often has in modern days where killing passes may either just click or just fail, and where a ball game may ride one way or an- other by a matter of inches, by less than a span. The spirit of Army-Notre Dame meet- ings always rises to heights that few| other games can show, and for this rea- | son the guessing is always likely to go astray. The Strongest Teams. 'HE argument as to the strongest | teams in each section, or in the | country at large, is keener than | ever this waning Autumn. In the East the debate is among followers of Colgate, Army and Pitt. In the Midwest it is between supporters of Michigan and Purdue, with Wiscon- sin also having a word to say after a fine record. In the South, Tennessee followers claim at least equal strength with Au- burn. There isn't much debate about | Texas Christian University in the Southwest, Nebraska in the Big Six and Southern California on the Coast. They stand out in their own domains. What about the strongest team in the East, where there is a three-cor- nered claim? Suppose Army and Pitt were to meet I,‘zllgl——Afmy and Colgate—Colgate and tt? . There is a chance that Army and Pitt may have an edge in man power, but I haven't seen a team in years which carried so many weapons in at- tack as Colgate showed Brown. ét was dt:m'e hmm! versatile and be- wildering display of speed ana power lflutmymdkonmsu:nm.hu ime. Colgate not only had an amazing variety of assaulting weapons, but Col- gate also was drilled to use these weapcns almost without a flaw. You retrenchment. But a ball club, when it has signed up & team, can- not do any salary cutting. Of course l it cannot release its good players to reduce expenses,” saw here the perfect example of team and Pitt were willing to admit they had no deep yearning to bet a lot of money that either could beat the Red Raiders after watching Colgate rip and tear and pass its way through and over a good Brown team, which fought hack with everything it had to give. An Unsettled Argument. 'HESE are arguments which never will be settled. Army and Pitt will not be thrown against Colgate this Fall. meet. nessee. In spite of Michigan's fine record in | the Midwest, at least three conference | coaches, have picked Purdue as the strongest team in that sector. Two of them pick Purdue as the strongest team in the country, with more assaulting speed and power than any other squad can show. ‘These_are all arguments, which will add to Winter's conversational flow as the debate gathers force after all re- turns are in. Even at this late date the Rose Bowl round-up still hangs in the air. There is a general feeling that Pitt will have to beat Stanford decisively, more de- cisively than Southern California did, to get the assignment over Colgate. This is largely due to Pitt’s almost complete annihilation some time back when a strong . Panther team, with Parkinson, Uansa, Montgomery, Donchess and others, was completely overwhelmed on the Coast. At any rate, this Rose Bowl argu- ment adds still greater interest to the Pittsburgh-Stanford game this after-| noon. On the season’s showing the | Panther should be a heavy favorite. | But Pop Warner's late November record is still remembered. A Warner team in October and a Warner team in late November are often two entirely dif- ferent raiding parties. ‘You might think that a team, which hadn’t lost a game from a hard sched- ule, meeting & team, which hadn’t won a big game, would be an odds-on to gallop home. But two strong Army and Dartmouth teams still remember what happened in four Stanford contests when Stanford had set no Western trail on fire before moving against the East. $10,000 Open.

This also will be the first big tourna- ment Gene Sarazen has entered since he bagged the United States Open with | his scorching 66. The presence of the British and United States Open cham- plon will lend additional interest, as the field always likes to have its shot at a title holder. On this next occasion Sarazen wil have strong competition, headed by Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Bill Burke and other low-scoring stars, who have been pounding their way over the highway of par for the last few weeks. ‘The Coral Gables course is a fine medal play test, demanding not only accuracy but an extra amount of headwork. It is the type of course that can lead to quick disaster if one starts taking foolish chances. 1t is well stocked with water hazards and heavy trouble for any one wander- ing too far off the fairway.

Though backs are in greater abundance than linemen, due again to the changes in the rules which tenc to eliminate spectacu- lar line play, there still are many |who have displayed more than | | average ability in the local com- | bats. | Towa, Bucknell, Western Maryland. | Oklahoma, Dugquesne, Davis-Elkins, | Vanderbilt and Alabama, among the group, have shown a number of good forwards, while line play on the local elevens has been better, in spots, than in recent years, though naturally less sensational. In the selections received for Louie the Barber’s “all-Griffith Sta- dium” eleven, many of the smart linemen who came here earlier in the season have been overlooked.

HEN the old boys gather around and tell about the great catch- ers of other days, they start with Ewing, then move on to Kling and Bresnahan, and ultimately land on the backstopping virtues of Jim- my Archer, of the famous Cubs of the old Tinker to Evers to Chance era. Archer was a young Irishman, who in his school days suffered an acci- dent which was destined to help him develop outstanding catching ability. He fractured his right fore- arm. This set none too well, and the result was a peculiar throwing lever- age which made Archer the high e: ponent of what was called the snap throw. Archer made his great throws to second—rifled on a line—from the squatting position with that Archer snap. After him came many imi- tators. Now the old squatting snap is almost a thing of legend, for near- 1y all catchers now rise for a second hold on the ball. o Archer not only caught well, but he was quite a hitter. But for the presence of masters like Bresnahan and King-in his day, Archer would have been hailed as the catcher of the generation. In Chicago he achieved his great- est fame and in Chicago he has settled. (Copyright. 1932.) SEEK BASKE!; BOOKINGS. Basket ball games Wwith teams having courts are sought by the Griffith-Con- sumers.
