Football is turning into the home
stretch. In the Big Ten and Missouri
Valley confSence the final games will
be played tomorrow. In both of these
conferences the championship already
has been cinched by Ohio State in the
Big Ten and by Nebraska in the Mis-
souri, Valley, the final scramble being
for place and show.
In Oklahoma much the same situa-
tion obtains. The Sooners look like
certain state champions. They have
beaten everything in the state with
championship aspirations except Ken
DAN and the Aggies. They take on
Kendall tomorrow and the only ques-
ton in the minds of football followers
is the margin by which the Men OF
owen will win. Some say as much as
40 points Some of the more opti-
mistic Tulsans claim the Sooners VIII
not make more than four touchdowns,
while Kendall is expected to score one
or two. After that the state univer-
sity meets the Aggies in the final
game OF the season Thanksgiving day.
SO far no one has been discovered who
will proclaim the belief that the
Farmers Will WIN, lney never ildNc
won over the Sooners, and many a
time they have had a much better
team than they now have to go against
a Sooner team much weaker than the
present Sooner aggregation, yet never
have they been able to win.
While the Aggies are playing the
Sooners next Thursday Kendall will
be playing Phillips here. 1t should
be "A desperately fought battle, with
the odds favoring the Christians, who
boast of a 6-to-0 victory over the
Aggies, who in turn defeated Kendall
last week by the score of AZ to 2.
Therefore the finish of the Okla
homa season looks like: -
Champion-Universi Of Oklahoma.
Runner university.
Third-Ollahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical college.
Fourtll-kcndall college.
Fffth-East Central Normal (nor-
nal champions).

Hermann Favors Cutting Down.


CINCINNATI, Ohio. Nov. 22.-"Or-
ganized baseball has already done a
great deal for the cause, and If con-
tinued, will do a great deal more"
said August Hermann, chairman OF
the national baseball commission.
"As l understand it, the president
of the United States has stated that
sports of all kinds should be contin-
red and encouraged yet after all we
must realize that baseball and all lines
Of sport in this great crisis must be
placed on an equal plane,
"The suggestion that the player
limitation of major league clubs be
reduced to IS meets my personal ia
vor. If the two leagues take action
along these lines that In itself will re-
move, 10 a great extent, the doubt
now existing about the proper equip
nent of major league Gibbs next

These and other teams are soundly
scored by Wray in the 81. Louis Post
Dispatch fCr what he calls slackerism.
Of them he says:
The cancellation of the Michigan
Chicago postseason game negotiations,
the refusal OF Pittsburgh Universty
TO accept Georgia Techs challenge,
ana the failure of NIarvard-lale-
Princeton elevens to play a series OF
games have cost the Red Gross or
other u. 6. service branch lot of
money this season.
Georgia Tech and Michigan are
practically the only schools of ma
tional nete which have expressed a
willingness to play important football
matches for the benefit of the service.
The attitude of university men in
this respect, especially considering
their readiness TO lay down their lives
by enlistment is difficult to explain.
At long range their neglect appears
sheer slackerism, n waste of opportu-
pity-many opportunities-to do real
good without cost to themselTes.

Fordham Gets First
Taste of Football

Fordhsm football candidates had
their first taste of real football work
yesterday afternoon. Although it WAS
the first official day of practice Coach
McCatfery gave his charges plenty of
stiff drilling In the two hours workout
The tackling dummy was rugged up
and all hands took a fling at tackling
and blocking the canvas bag.
Among the candidates to report was
Frank Frisch, one of the best athletes
developed at Fordham Prep In recen,
years. Frisch will try for the position
of quarterback. A husky back doomed
up in Brennan, OF Stamford High
School. Abbott, a centre, and 'Fogarty
and McGrath, two likely looking line
men, also joined the squad.
A good workout was obtained when
the forwards were lined against one
another and the backs attempted to
break through. The squad numbered
only fifteen men, but the material
looked strong.

Thought He Might Rest

When he LETT for his Maryland home
last week Herzog minated that he
was taking the step with the permits
sion of his employers. lie declared he
had been told that once the pennant
was assured ne might rest up for the
big series. Herzog regarded the PEN
nant as cinched when his team defeat
ed Philadelphia in four of six games
played as three consecutive double
headers.
Friends of Herzog are of the opinion
that McGraw's insistence upon having
Herzog accompany the team West APP
preached persecution, and certainly dis
played an absolute lack of sentiment
for what the captain had already done
for the Giant cause this year.
Herzog has been far from we'll since
last April. He slipped and fell heavily
to the concrete platform when the
Giants were entraining for their frs,
visit ~ Philadelphia. Herzog's spine
was injured so that he was unable to
play for some time
Later he returned and served through
a hard drive. A few weeks ago he col
lapsed during game in Brooklyn. But
sfter a short rest he returned to duty
and remained actively in the field until
after the close of the recent series
with Philadelphia.
According to the word Of Herzog, his
physicians warned him that he was
taking a grave risk of permanent injury
by remaining the game. 1t is a well
known fact that Herzog was forced
to use stimulants to carry himself
through his last few games. To friends
who saw him shortly before he left
for his home Herzog appeared anxious
only to get in the best possible con-
dition for the world series.
A Peculiar Temperament
Herzog is Of peculiar temperament.
His is nature likely TO be deeply
wounded by a suspension that he must
consider unjust. OF course, his salary
stops with suspension. Furthermore,
unless the captain is restored to favor
he cannot take part in the world series,
fact that would bar him from the
players benefits.
1t is not likely, however, the New
York club will go so far as to cut off
it's nose to spite its face. The Giants
need Herzog in the world series quite
as much as he needs the money.
