Chicago, Nov. 6.—A smashing at- 3 tack to combat the ground gaining | @ 5 and point scoring propensities of ) “Red” Grange, lllinois backfield ace, | ¢ will be Chicago's chief weapon in its attempt to batter the Illini from the western confefnce pinnacle here Saturday. The veteran cogch, Btagg, has a forward wall which he has drilled to break through the Illini defense and spill Grange's interference and hurry the passing of Zuppke'sbacks as well as hold the Illini line sallles and open the way for Chicago's plungers. Injuries affect Iilinols' potential battle front. Harry Hall, Lou Slim- mer and Wallle McIlwain will be handicapped 1t they participate. McIlwain, an important cog in inter- ference for Grange, nurses a slight- Iy sprained ankle. But the Iilini be- lieve the Chicago game will virtually settle the championship question and are prepared for & grim battle in spite of the casuals, An injured foot may keep Captain Steger of Michigan out of the melee with Nbrthwestern at Ann Arbor. Ohio's preparation for Indiana at Columbus is designed to result in |marking up another tally in the i-ll\lr‘k e's won column, while the |Hoosiers aspire to make the game an opportunity to emerge from the cellar position of the conference. | Wisconsin's interference is pol- |ishing up for Notre Dame. Rockne's men may be compelled to use sub- stitutes for Captain Walsh, center, and Stuhldreher, quarterback. Preparations have reached the final stage at Minnesota, JTowa and {Purdue, who take on Ames, Butler and Depauw, respectively, in non- conference games. Th on the S is an unusual action picture of Victor Hanson, end wcuse varsity, spearing a forward pass while in motion. Hanson is fleet of foot and has a pair of sure, steady hands. These are essential to successful end play. Hanson is one of the best.

You've heard my story before. It scema I've repeated it a thousand times in the last few weeks. It's the truth.” This was what Jimmy O'Connell answered when asked if he would divulge anything if summoned east when the sujt that Cozy Dolan is filing against Judge Landis is brought to trial. Asked what he had to say about Dolan's recent protestations of innocence to the press in New York, O'Connell said: “Dolan is not telling the truth. 1 guess they figure I am to con- tinus being the goat and ‘here doesn’t seem anything much I can do, especlally after T nmfle a clean breast of the whole thing.” O'Connell then recounted again the famous incidents leading up to the attempted offer of a bribe of $500 to shortsfop Heinle Sand of the Phillies, not to bear down in what was thought to be a crucial game. But here and thers O'Con- nell added a detail or two that he had not told of before. “I was sitting in the locker room with Cozy, when he sald to me, “You're close to Heinle S8and. Of- fer him $500 it he won't bear down too hard.” “Because I felt that Delan repre- sented the Glant club, and was close to McGraw, I acted on his suggestion and made the offer to Sand, not thinking I was doing any great wrong." “After talking to Dolan, Frank Frisch asked me what the conver- sation had been. When I told him, he said ‘go ahead.’ After that, Ross Young asked me about it, and said practically the same thing as Frisch. “When I had seen Sand, end he refused-to take part in the plan, George Kelly stopped me and asked me what Heinie had said. I told him, and he said: ‘We'll beat them anyway' In one thing, O'Connell is stead- fast. He refuses to accuse Mc- Graw. “I wouldn't want to accuse McGraw of anything like that,” he said, in speaking of Dolan's pro- posed law suit, and the possiblilties of Dolan’s alleged actions being in- apired by higher upe. Seven to One Shot Wins Rich Australian Race By The Assoclated Press, Melbourne, Australia, Nov. 6. — Australia’s richest race, worth $41,- 000 to the victor, was won yesterday by Backwood, an imported English | horse running at seven to one odds, Standby, the former favorité, wrenched his leg just before the race , |ingly had his big chance and fafled. and was beaten by a head.

SHADE 1§ MATCHED New York, Nov. 6.—~DMorrie &ch- laifer, of Omaha, has been matched with Dave Shade, California con- tender for the welterwelght gham- plonship, in a 12-round no-decision bout at Newark on December 3, it was announced last night, SONE ATHLETES MEN _l]LI]ESTINY- * | Tnsists “Cozy” Is Not Telling {Ducky Pond of Yale Is Classed 4 One Such (By Billy Evans Certain athletes may be classed as men of destiny. Last summer when the Washing- ton club was in the thiek of the pennant fight, the management realized a cleanup hitter was badly needed. Casting around for such a player, Manager Harris declded to take a chance on Wade Lefler, a left handed hitter with a fat miner league reputation and previous ma~ Jjor league experience. Lefler was signed too I eligible’ in the world serle: though he went to bat only four times during his stay with the clup, he did his bit toward winning the American league pennant for Wash- ington. In three of his four appearances at the plate, all of them in ‘the pinch, he hit safely, making two doubles and a single. Each hit played a big part in the result of the game, It was destiny that enabled Man- ager Harris to pick up so valualjle a man at the eleventh hour, It was destiny that he should deliver as he did. Then there is the case of "Ducky” Pond, star halfback of Yale's great eleven, In baseball and football Pond in- variably arises to the occasion, and does something worth while for the Blue, when deeds of valor mean something. Last fall against Yale it was Pond ‘who scored the first touchdown that Yale has made against Harvard since about 1916, That touchdown gave Yals a mueh coveted victory over the Crimson of Harvard, In the recent game between the Army and Yale, once more it was Pond who played the hero role. A sensational run by Pond, after several times reversing his fiald, en- abled Yale to get & 7 to 7 tia When Yale is In trouble and Pond is in the game, the supporters of the Blue have faith in him, feel that he will lead old El to victory. In the recent world series, the great Walter Johnson was sure the man of destiny. In his first two starts, with all the world pulling for him to wim, John- son went down to defeat. His first game was worth while It is a tough break to strike out 12 men and then go down to defeat after 12 innings of battling. When the seventh and deciding game was played, Johnson appeared out of the running. He had seem- Then destiny stepped in and cre- ated the situation that put the win- ning of the world series directly up to the man who had previously twice falled. b The world knows he delivered. Fate and destiny are sure peculiar critters, You can't dope 'em.
