The memory of that run haunted the players throughout the rest of the game. It will stick with them for years, That brilllant run was the decisive break. It gave Iilinois much confi- dence. Tt robbed Michigan of an even greater amount, No doubt that run caused every member of the Michigan team to think more of Grange than any oth- er thing on the gridiron, To them Grange was a constant threat. The psychology of that first run was apparent throughout the rest of the game, Fgr that reason Michigan d1d not play as wel as it 18 capable of. Incldentally the success of Grange in the Michlgan game is goingto have a far-reaching effect. Other Big Ten teams on the Illinols sched- ule are worrying more than ever about him. In the opening game of the sea- mon the heavy Nebraska line sewed him up pretty well. Then came the Michigan massacre. Grange 18 a remarkable foothall player, one of the game's greatest. He is coached hy one of the most resourceful mentors in the game, Bob Zuppke. It is a certainty that Zuppke will rack his brain fc ways and means to preserve Grange's greatness. Zuppke realizes full well that a gieat star like Grange can make h coach look mighty good. Zuppke has already showed his hand in Grange's prdgram for the 1924 season. Last fall Grange was the star. Get the ball to Gr: the big thought. He was the receiv- er of practically every forward pass. Six feet tall, he was a fine target for the passer. Last year Grange ran wide at all times. Through sheer speed, aided by interference, he trled to leave rival tacklers in his wake, This year Grange has perfected the art of passing the ball. He is very adept.

Chicago went to Columbus as the guest of Ohio State, determined to add to its prestige as the leading disputant of Illinols’ title claims. Ohlo has equally as-anxlous to pre- serve its record of not having been scored on this season. Both squads were in excellent condition. Minnesota, en route to Towa City to engage Iowa, halted at Cedar Rapids for a final workout. The squad was gloomy after only slight improvement during the week's training and because of injuries to the regulars. Towa's bag of tricks was swelled with ner acrial plays at its pefultimate practice session and the Hawkeyes hopes to advance their standing, so far marked on the debit side with a tle. At Jackson, Mich., the Ann Arbor- bound Wisconsin Badgers paused for practice today to complete prep. arations for Michigan tomorrow. The Badger squad was vjrtually the same which played Mihnesota to a tie. Coach Yost's reorganized Michi- gan eleven, with Captain Steger at quarterback, presented a fighting front, but doubt whether new plays would work well in view of the changes was expressed. Northwéstern ended its arrange- +250 I ments for the Michigan Aggles, who arrived in Evanston in time for a workout today. While the game has no bearing on the Big Ten standing of the Purple, it is ex. pected to indicate whether improve- ment has been made since Purdue's victory last week. At Illinois, invaded by Depauw, in- terest centers on performances of other conference teams yet to en- gage the Illini, Towa, next opponent ,nr Tilinois, will be given particular attention, Purdue and Indiana, not sched- uled this week, plan practice games with teams of reserves and fresh- men tomorrow. SISLER'S PREDICTION —_— St. Louis Brown's Manager Says Race Next Year Will Be an Open One From Start. St. Louls, Oct. 24.—Despite the fact that Washington won the Amer- ican league pennant and the world championship in 1924, Manager George Sisler " of ‘the St. Louis Browns says the Senators will have their troubles repeating. “The teams in the American league are so evenly matched that any club {n the circuit with a little strengthening would be in a position to win next year,” says Sisler. “I regard New York, Detroit and 8t. Louls as inherently stronger than ‘Washington, yet the Nationals beat all three to the wire. “Washington won because it never | quit, got the breaks, making many of them and had a wisec manager in Stanley Harris. “There is little difference between any of the clubs in the American league. Connie Mack finished kixth he past season, yet must be figured | as a pennant contender. “Competition is 60 keen in the American league that Washington has its work cut out to repeat.” ‘Sisler certainly seems to have sized up the American league situa- tion correctly.

The Sox won by a score of 16 to 11, The game was played at the Everton footbald grounds. Through British Eyes This is the way a British press agency described the game, “Many who had not previously witnessed a ball game were astound- ed by the prodigious hitting of the American batsmen, thé ball fre- quently falling into the stands. The | play was exceedingly fast, but the smart fielding of the Chicago side was the downfall® of the New Yorkers. The latter held the lead until the sixth inning, but the Sox gathered four runs in the sixth to lead by 7 to 6. “The seventh inning gave the Sox the most commanding lead of 16 runs to 7, but they failed to increase this in the following twp innings, |where the Giants put on four ad- | ditional runs to be beaten by five {runs, Mostil of the Sox, playing at left field, made some wonderful |catches in the outfield, On one {occasion he had to lean over the |barrier in an attempt to hold the | ball, “Ruel was the out nding bats- man. He often drov the lamong the spectators in the stands. Kamm, at right field, also played a |fine game, while Robertson was the best of the pitchers.” The score by innings: Giants. 100 131 143—11 White Sox . « 310 004 800—16 e A FEW STALLS FOR RENT MORANS GARAGE 313% CHURCH ST.
