Daily Sport Letter.
(By FRANKIE G.. Menke.)

wy hellhC.D
Football affairs have reached such
&. state that when the referees whistle
sends the various gridiron gladiators
into Dattle today only few teams in
each section of the country remain
in the fight for the sectional cham
pionships. 1t is more than likely
that before the twilight shadows set
tie over the land the number of con-
tenders will be fewer.
In the East only the University of
Pittsburgh and the Army elevens re-
main unbeaten or united. Harvard
and Princeton have not been beaten,
but both have been tied by the So
called "weaker" elevens. Pittsburgh
today tackles the wonderful Washing
ton & Jefferson team and it will be
the supreme test for the plucky Smoky
City eleven.
Harvard and Princeton fight it out
in Cambridge, with the chances favor
ing Harvard, because the Crimson
eleven has come forward with rush
during the past two weeks while
Princeton seems to have been doing
what Jeffries did. The Tigers may
spring surprise, but the chances are
that they won't.
The Army eleven meets Notre Dame
at West Point. The western eleven
has leen greatly strengthened since
it was beaten by Yale and there is
real possibility that Notre Dame may
duplicate its triumph of last year over
the strong Army team.
In the West the Illinois eleven, the
big surprise of the year, is the only
conference team that has not been
tied or beaten. Illinois has mingled
in five battles and has been scored
on but once. That was by Minnesota
last Saturday. Illinois has scored 169
points in five games-a mighty husky
average.
The Chicago and Wisconsin teams
have not been beaten, but both have
been tied. The showing to date of
both these elevens has not been as
good as that of Illinois. The Wiscon
sin eleven won from Ohio State Z to &
and the Illinois eleven beat Ohio State
week later "a to 0. Chicago beat
Indiana 81 to 0 and Illinois beat
Indiana 81 to 0.
So, if you take the comparative
showings into consideration, the fact
stands out that Illinois is better than
either Chicago or Wisconsin.
Wisconsin plays Minnesota today
and Wisconsin may be beaten and
thus eliminated from the fight.
Neither Chicago or Illinois have i'm
portant games today. They fight 1t
out at Urbana, H., a week from to-
day and on the following Saturday
Illinois plays Wisconsin. These two
battles probably will settle the cham
pionship fight in the West.
In the Southern part of this land
there are five teams that are still in
the battle for the honors below the
Mason and Dixon line. Those five
teams are Washington & Lee, Virginia,
Auburn, Mississippi University and
Tennessee. However, the Virginia and
Washington & Lee teams do not be-
long to that dear, old southern Inter
collegiate Athletic Association and so,
as they view things in the South, "the
claims of either of those teams to the
championship cannot be recognized"
Washington & Lee, however, doesn't
care much whether its claims will be
recognized. 1t submits its scoring
record-the greatest compiled by any
team in the eountry-and lets the pub
lie make its own decision. Washing.
ton & Lee has scored 2SS points in

Before the Game.
(By Damon Runyon)

Boston, Nov. Con- nights before
big varsity football game Boston
is the greatest town in all the land
1t is so.
You can talk about New Orleans
on the night of Mardi Gras or New
York on New Years eve, or Pueblo
Colo, on steel works pay night, but
none of them can compare with the
Boston,, Mass, ante -mortem festivi-
ties pertaining to large football
game.
"We have in mind as striking ex-
ample of what we say the incumbent
night-the night that is now before
us and around and about us-with
Harvard and Princeton persons clog
ging the adjacent atmosphere with
their songs and their more tuneful
yells.
Tomorrow afternoon at the Cam
bridge stadium where the wintry
winds commit their chilling trespasses
against the porosknits, the football
teams representing Harvard and
Princeton meet by appointment to
carry on a game of football. That is
what makes this the night before the
game, and it's a grand night. We
repeat that on such night Boston
is the greatest town in all the land.
1t is so.
There is light, and life, and lawf-
ter il the streets. There is color in
the highways and byways-rather
more color in the byways than high
ways. The lobby of every hotel in
this mans town is so crowded that
you cannot get close enough to a
room clerk to hand him a ripe peach,
let alone to speak to him about a R.
and &.
There will be 10000 people out
there at the stadium tomorrow and
most of them are engaged at this writ
ing in furnishing motive power for
1iiS iSNoiNHiS uoolS VI tnSSe DOSIOu
hostelries.
An innocent bystander can attain
a not unpleasant delirium by standing
in front of hotel for a few minutes
and watching the people whirling in
and out of the doors. 1t seems thai
after a person gets catapulted out
into the street by the doors and some
ambiguous idea, they discover imme-
diately that there is no place to &c
except back into the hotel; and sc
the doors are in a state of perpetual
agitation.
There would be more than 10000
people present, but for the statute OF
architectural limitations. The Stad-
ium will hold no more than that. Some
of these 10000 have come from long
distances just to see the game anC
after due reflection (here in this dingy
telegraph office) over the amount ol
money involved by a single game o.
football, in railroad transportation, no
tel hills and admission tickets at s.

the automobiles and chauffeurs, an;

tion that perhaps times are not a

You can change the shape of

There is no reason why anyone

you are a discontinued sort of a
woman you will find IL drops at
the corners, that there are lines
