Thus, when the call went forth for
men TO represent the camp on the

has played five games and has won
three, the last victory being against

Troy, N. Y, Nov. 3.-Several runs
of twenty to fifty yards in an inter-
colnlegiate football contest go a long
way, toward breaking up the close
in, brute force traditions of the grid
iron and give the game that spec
tacular interest supposed to be
sought by the rules revisionists.
That's what halfback and acting cap
tain Harry Parrott (upper portraiD
is doing for the Rensselaer, Poly
technic Institute team this season.
Shifted from end to backfleld, he
is proving unusually speedy in the
getaway and is perhaps the leading
straight arm in bowling over would
be tacklers. He scored two touch
downs against st. Lawrence Univer-
sity eleven last Saturday. Abetting
in the interference and paving the
way for these runs are the two

proved particul9 speedy in re-

An Associated Press dispatch says,
THE Swedish Amateur Athletic AS
ISOLATION has officially accepted John
Zander's new worlds record of 3.54:7
for the 1,500-meter run. The old
record of 3.55.8 was made by the
American runner Kiviat in the pre-
liminaries of the Stockholm Olympic
games in 1912. Zanders splendid
performance is the more remarkable
from the fact that he ran the entire
distance alone"
The proposal to stage a football
game between the elevens of the Uni
versities of Chicago and Michigan
for the benefit of the Red Cross may
result in the revival of one of the
most important of the Middle Wes-
er- gridiron classics, according to- AN
Associated Press dispatch. These two
institutions first met in football in
1892. and since that date have play
ed fourteen games, of which Michi-
gan has won nine and Chicago five.
The Wolverines led in points with
total of 1919 to Chicago's 102. Michi-
gar has held the Maroon elevens
scoreless four times, while Chicago
shut out the Ann Arbor University
but once and this was in the famous
and final game between these uni
versities played in 1902 when Chi
cago forced Michigan to make a
SO fety; the only score of the contest.
Michigan's greatest string of vic
tories was won between 1901 and

BAN JOHNSON TO
REMAIN AT HOME
No Job in Army to Suit Amer
ican League Leader;
Meeting in Doubt

Washington, Nov. 3.-According to
reports in local baseball circles yes
terday, Ban B. Johnson's application
to fight in the trenches in France has
been pigeonholed in the archives OF
the appointment clerks office in the
War Department.
There is no denying that the pres
ident of the American League want
ed to get into the war and do his
bit with the 'red-headed gunners
somewhere over there" in mo Mans
Land" but it seems that the govern
ment officials at Uncle Sammy's army
factory could find no jobs which
would fit the qualifications of the
American League boss.
No Meeting Called
The American Leagues annual
meeting was scheduled to be held
three weeks after the worlds series,
but no date has as yet been set for
it by the big mogul. From present
prospects it appears as if Ban John
son will remain in baseball next sea-
son.
The questioning of the shortening
of the playing schedule for the ma
jor leagues and the possibilities of the
third major league as a war meas
ure, viii be the big items of interest
to both the major leagues and minor
league moguls at this meeting.
The howl has gone up from most
of the owners in the American
League on the shortening of the
schedule, while President Hickey, of
the American Association, has al
ready called a meeting of his body to
be held in Milwaukee for next Sun
day, so that he will be we'll posted
on the situation when the major
moguls hold their session.
