ILLINOIS OBVIOUSLY BEST IN WESTERN CONFERENCE HUDDLE SYSTEM PROVES UNPOPULAR WITH FOOTBALL FANS — YALE ELEVEN HAS HARD SCRIMMAGE PREPARING FOR BROWN GAME — ANOTHER OLD TIMER BACK WITH ALL NEW BRITAIN TEAM SYRACUSE PENN AND LAFAYE'ITE ARE APPARENTLY BEST OUTFITS IN EAST Their Chances of Going Through Season Unde- feated Are Brighter Than Those of Other Elevens. By The New York, major football teams in the east not Assoclated Press, Oct. 22.—0f seven Syracuse and either | to beaten or tled, Penn or Lafayette appear to have the best chance of swe ping through the season with clean records. Penn State, Pitt and C: of whom has been defc highest hurdles in the Orange eleven whose and strong line Jumping all. Penn, which now won and points scored and Lafayette the only team whose goal not yet been crossed, meet on Novesiber 1. Each is favored to win its other contests, Penn's strongest opponents will be Virginia, Georgetown and Cornell, Lafayette will take on W. and J., Rutgers and Lehigh Williams can go confider to a clean slate if it defeats Colum- bia next Saturday but the future of Rutgers, W. and J. and Harvard, the unbeaten elevens, and of Yale, Dart- mouth, Lehigh and Princeton, with tie games marring their records, is cloudy. Rutgers will face Li fayette; W. and J. has Lafayette | and West Virginia in its path and Harvard must win from Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton and Yale. Yale has Vet to meet Brown, Army Princeton and Harvard; Dartmouth has Havard and Cornell; Lehigh has Lefayette and Rutgers and Princeton awaits the stormy trio of Notre Dame, Harvard and Yale, Syracuse, although its only im- portant viotory so far was the 10-0 triumph over Boston College, is for- tified in almost every position with material of championship calibre, McBride at fultback is second high point scorer among eastern players and has contributed to his team'’s total by every possible method in every game played this season. Bow- man is the Olympic sprinter. He was injured two weeks ago but returned to the game last week. Foley, who led offense against Boston College is one of the most-talked of backs of the smason and Simmons is a smart quarterback. Chick Meehan's linemen rank with the backfield. Waldorf and Stegobin at tackles, Fivaz at center, Hanson at end and Bayle at guard are sca- soned performers capable of taking care of themselves in any company. Unless Penn State surpasses its form shown in the Georgia Tech defeat or Pittsburgh accomplishes anothe: late-season development, the Orange eleven now appears to be the most certain claimant of eastern grid honors this season. The standing of the more import- ant eastern elevens, with games won, lost, tied, points scored and oppon- ent's points, including games of last Saturday, follows:— cach the lane the fast backfield of lgate, A are seem capable leads in games gh and La-| Penn .

Tllinois, one of the undefeated elev meects Chicago, the unbeaten squad, as well as three of | four teams having tle scores, | making the 1924 elunination contest a closer affair than for many years. The fourth team having a tie score but no conterence defeat, Wis- consin, does not play Tilinc but meets Michigan, Towa and Chicago. | Illinois, to remain undefeated has to win over Towa, Chicago, Minne- sota and Ohio. 3 Chicago, the other undefeated cleven, has five more conference op- ponents, including Tilinois. Of the four teams having a tie score, Ohio and Minnesota have | three more conference games and Wisconsin and Towa four more each. Interest in this week's prepara- tions centers on Chicago and Ohio, Groothing for their meeting in Columbus Saturday. The Maroons leave tomorrow night for the Ohio battleground. Punting is Michigan's worry in its preparations for Wisconsin. Rock- | well is on crutches as a result of the Tilinois game last week and Parker, the other booter, is out with injuries. Secrecy prevails at the Badger camp where the finishing touches are being applied before the de- parture for Ann Arbor _tomorrow. The squad’s final practice will be at Jackson, Mich., Friday. Notre Dame, girding itself for an- other eastern Invasion, is besct for a center to replace Captain Adam Walsh against Princeton.

Earlier in the season, in the east, such stars as St. James and Ordi- nance, two of the spring's most we orced out of the races by ailments for which the conditions of various rucks were partially blamed. These circumstances, furthermore, experts believe, have dealt a damag- ing blow to the prospect of further international turf rivalry, revived last year by Papyrus and enlivened this year by kEpinard.

Martin is the young Virginia youth who won the heavyweight champlonship of the A. E. F., turned professional, and en- Joyed fair success mingling with sec- ond raters. Martin sustained a slight concus- sion of the brain about 18 months ago, and was finally forced to retire | from the ring. At first Martin sus- pected ‘the trouble centered in his eyes but when treatments designed to better his vision failed the soldier fighter submitted to a thorough ex- It was then revealel that he had been injured about the head by some heavy blow received in the ring. Martin retired following a pathetic exhibition against Martin Burke in New Orleans, the gftermath of which was an official ruling by Louisiand ring commissioners barring him from future participation in th: ring. Martin went back to his home in Virginia, joined the state police as i mounted officer and started out 1¢ regain his* health by activity in the open air. Martin now is of the opinion that he is his old self again and has writ ten Jimmy Bronson, his former man ager, to get him a fight here. Bron son ie hoping Martin is all righ again, but will not match him witl any one until positively assured by physicians that the A. I. F. hero i rully recovered. Martin’s most noteworthy pef formance in the ring was against th late Bill Brennan. Martin did no! get the decision but experts we unanimous he deserved it.
