SUB BASE HERE 50,000 FANS TO CHEER AS ARMY-NOTRE DAME CLASH Saturday’s Game at Polo Grounds to Be Most Spectacular of Present Season to Date. By The Assoclated New York, Oct. crowd of more than 18 ¢ pectad to witness Army-Notre Dame tootball game Saturday at the Polo Grounds where one of the most spectacular of the intersectional series between the two rivals will be fought. The cadets, althoug garded as haviy onger team than the 192 ation, since Harry Wilson has been added 1o the backfield considering the game with the same over-confidence which was credited with hastening their 13-0 defeat by Rockne's f last season. The Blue Comet, wh went into the Army contest last year fighting to live, a mood in which a normal the gencrally re- are not Rockne team is virtually invincible, | will not have that psychological ad- vantage this week but will meet an alert group of veteran stars who will be determined to cross the Notre Dame goal line—something which no Army man has done during the last three years. Army will outweigh Rockne's team, which will have an advantage | In speed. The opposing backfields include many of the recognized stars of the country but in the clashing lines the cadets will Lave an edge over the Notre Dame forward wall which has been partially rebuilt. ‘Wilson, flashy all-American of Penn State last year, is expected to add the dash of speed to the Army attack which has been lacking since the days of French. Hewitt, former Pitt battering ram, aithough com- | pletely stopped by the fast charging | “watch-charm” guards of Notre Dame last season, aas shown im- provement this year. Woods at full- back is one of the best punters in | the east and a line plunger who has been effective @against Rockne's team during the last two seasons. Gilmore, another speed merchant, completes the quartet, Against this attack Rockne will present group the Crowley-Layden-Stuhldreher combi- nation which returned intact this year after parading around ‘the tackles of every team encountered last season. Miller is one of the fastest run- ning backs in the game, Crowley is the elusively-spectacular type, lay- den is possibly the most brilliantly versatile fullback in the country when in condition and Stuhldreher was rated as one of the great quar- terbacks of the campaign. Neither squad is exceptionally smart at ends and Army is reported to have strengthened its tackles since last season while Rockne was required to replace the giant Oberst with a lighter man. Capt. Walsh, blonde center, who gave Carhisch a heroic battle last year, will be back but neither Captain Brown nor Ver- gara, the 1923 Notre Dame guards | credited with stopping Hewitt of West Point, are on this year's squad.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HER BRITAIN THEIR SOE WALCOTT GREATEST OF ALL WELTER WEIGHTS ~ BUILT LKE A GORILLA ¢ ; DMWY FIVE FEET OMNE INCH TALL -HE KNOCKED OUT JOE CHEYNSK! — LEAPING FROM THE FLOOR New York, Oct. 14.—It is neither simple nor sane to single out a modern fighter and present him as a counterpart of one of the old immortals. Who is there to say, for instance, that Fitzsimmons could hit harder | than Dempsey, or that the present | champion would have whipped the old one? It is our opinion that young Ed- ward Walker of Elizabeth, N. J., is one of the greatest fighters of qur- | rent times. You know Mim better, | | no doubt, as Mickey Walker, welter- weight champion. Walker is fast, | MICKEY WALKER— GREATEST Two HANDED PUNCHER Joe Walcott was the greatest fitle holder the welterweight division ever knew.

It is no PACKEY MCFARLAMD MIKE GIBBOVS REFUSED B FIGHT I WELTER _DIVISION” crime to say the New Jersey man approaches the old-timer in some respects, notably hitting power, courage and confidence. He has no heavyweight wins in his record but many of his victories have been scored in what seems to have been the Walcott manner. Walker completely overshadows the 147-pound set, The action of the New York commission in suspend- ing him for ignoring Dave Shade is significant of nothing other than the commissionér's rare sense of humor. Walker has pulled the shades down on Mr. Shade on two previous occa- sions. Would Knock Out Leonard? Benny Leonard is probably the only man within whispering dis- tance of the weight capable of ex- tending Walker and the feeling is strangely widespread that Leonard would not go far. Gentlemen of the fist who have fought both men un- hesitatingly predict a vietory for Walker by a knockout. “Walker has every weapon that Leonard can show,” says Jack Brit- ton, from whom the champion won his title, “and besides he is a harder hitter, with youth on his side.” Incidentally, Britton wae one of the first of the welterweights to malke real money out of the divi- sion. Packey McFarland and Mike Gib- bons, both stars, could have had the championship for the asking but preferred to fight at mongrel weights where the purses were heavier and the honors lighter, Walker, with his exceptional abil- ity, is in a position to make more money as a welterweight than all the preceding champlons combined BASEBALL SCANDAL STILL BEING PROBED, ACCORDING TO LANDIS s e 5 67 DI WING: 1S ;(‘ommissioner' Says He Is| | Delving to the Bottem | of the O’Connell-Dolan Episode. | {Arrange for Match With Pacfic New York, Oct. 14.—Sparks from the homb thrown into baseball by | the suspension of Cozy Dolan and | (oast Winner |Jimmy O'Connell f anempml} |bribery will probabiy be stamped out separately and with deliperation | S Paul, Minn, Oct. 14. — The | ¢ the winter by Commissioner | St Faul American asociation base- il : 3 o | ball team won' the “junior world dis, 9 series” championship yesterday by The investigation is still being |gefeating Baltimore, the Interna- conducted,” | night before cago.

IN YALE ELEVEN Much Talked of Shake-Up Does 'ljot Oce New Haven, Oct. 14.~Yale' shake-up yesterday in preparation for the Dartmouth game was not as radical as the coaches threatened when they volced the disappointment after Yale's fallure to defeat Geor. gla by more than one point. Only one newcomer was promoted to the varsity ranks, Rex Root, who played with the freshman eleven two sea- sons ago and on the scrubas last year, Root replaced Ben Butterworth at tackle and will hold down the po- sition in the scrimmage practice, He Is 21 years old, welghs 192 pounds and is 6 feet 2 inches tall. He llves in Leroy, N, Y. Several other changes which were made tentative last week were again ordered. Wortham, freshman back last year, who has alternated with Dick Eckart replaced him and prob- ably will get the right guard assign- ment against Dartmouth, While the coaches stated yesterday that the showing of Richards and Joss, who were used at left tackle last week, was unsatisfactory, Joss was switch- ed to right tackle, while Richards, who played guard until last week's trial at tackle, may return to guard against Dartmouth, Sturphan, the former freshman center who was moved to guard last week, did not fally meet expecta- tions against Georgia, but remained at left guard. No change was made in the backfield positions and the coaches stated that none is expect- ed except at left halfback, when Ed- die Cottle, Jack Falling and Ben Cutler will be trjed during the week. The varsity lineup as reorganized for the Dartmouth game follows: Ends, Bingham and Luman; tackles, Joss and Root; guards, Sturhan and Wortham; center, Captain Lovejoy; quarterback, Bench; left halfback, Cottle and Failing; right halfback, Pond; fullback, Allen. Jack Cates, end on &fom Shevlin's team, was the only visiting coach at the practice, NEWARK ATHLETE WINS Bob LeGendre, of Same Club, Fails .
