The dear old grads who won renown

ing back to college. It's the favori.e

pleasant autumn afternoon strolling
about the campus arm in arm discuss

student by himself win be seen walk

Every arriving train brings a few
mere old grads who used to gambol
and frolic with the pigskin in days
gone by. All of them at one time or
another were the heroes of the school
and they haven't been able somehow
TO forget it. So they come flCcking
over land and sea at great expense in

these grads who like to tell about
when they ripped through the line for
fifty yards. They mean well all right,
but they certainly do crab the sketch
for the regular coaches who have trou-
BILE enough pounding football facts into
the warranted all-granite of the scrub.
And the cd boys with the long boards
and the cricks in their backs skip
about and try TO help teach the young
idea. They tell about how they used
to get over the ground, but they
couldn't do the hundred now in less
than two hours flat unless there hap
pened to be a taxi handy. It'd be
patricide to let 'em try and tackle a
young fellow that was real anxious to
make the team. You should never
push over old people; their bones are
so brittle
Well, maybe the football teams will
pull through all right and show some
kind of speed. If they do, though, it'll
be more than likely because most of
the volunteer coaches died of old age
on the way.

WAR: MEET TODAY

Indianapolis, Ind Nov. IA declar-
alton of war upon organized baseball

The recent signing of Shortstop AL

league club by the Chicago American
league team has brought the matter
to a point where war must be declared
or the Federal league suffer from the

said. Just what plan of action the
magnates will adopt none of them

In the contest for the presidency

Lloyd Ricke-t, secretary of the or.

johnson and Speaker are not the
only ones who want to make the trip
now. Callahan has been flooded with
applications and as he has still room
for possibly two more at the windup,
he will make the selection between
here and the coast. Third base is
about the only position in question,
although he might bet one other extra
player. Tex Russell will rejoin the

This should give Callahan the edge on

ney.

He came up smiling in the next,
only to hit Leverenz after two were
out. Weaver scored a triple to center

more, but for the.rest OF the matinee
there was nothing doing with his
benders.
Leverenz only had one bad inning,
in the sixth, when three runs rolled
over the pan. A triple. single and
two bases on balls were the principal
factors in the fray. He was slightly
wild, but escaped for the res: of the

Ar-=oves Plan Of Having First Three
Teams in the Two Circuits
Playing.

Chicago, Nov. PLANS for improv-
ing the methods of staging the world
series will come up for discussion
when the American league mosuls
assemble here next Wednesday and
Thursday in annual session. That the
problem has been given deep thought
was made known yesterday by Presi-
dent b. B. Johnson of the junior cir
cult The latter expressed himself in
favor of a change but he is not in
accord with the suggestions recently
made by Garry Hermann, chairman of
the national commission, of which
body Mr.. Johnson is a member
To Mr. Johnson's way OF thinking,
the popularity of post-season combat
ing for titular honors could be greatly
increased if the first, second and third
place teams of the American league
paired off in a short series OF engage
ments with the three leading troups of
the National circuit.
OPPOSED TO HERRMANN's PLAN.
Mr.. Hermann has stepped to bat
with bright idea along different lines.
The Red boss allowed as how consid-
cradle interest might be aroused by
cutting the championship schedule 70
l26 games in each major organization,
and after completing this program
pit the various teams against one an
other in a round-robin set.
So many complaints have followed
each world series. coming from fans
who were unable to see the games
owing to the limited seating accommo
dations, that President Johnson has
expressed himself in favor of a nine
game meeting at reduced prices. Thus
the winning team would have to com
pile five victories. The suggestion by
Mr.. Johnson that the scale of price:
be lowered for a nine-game combai
was volunteered by the league chic
for the reason that fans might gather
the impression that the magnates ar,
