after four years of war such huge
quantities could be boarded. There
was meat, game in cold storage, sailed
provisions in large cases, white meal

of eggs. gigantic boxes filled with tea,
coffee, chocolate, lard, jelly and jam;
hundreds CT sugar loaves and endless
stacks of peas, beans, dried fruits and

MIAMI U. WINS

OXFORD, O., Nov. 25.-Miami Uni
versity Saturday defeated Butler Col
lege of Indianapolis, by a score of SO
to 0. Had it not been for a distress
ing accident in the first period, about
five minutes after the whistle sounded.
in which Rowley, right halfback, broke
his leg, the score might have been
different Butler has a good team,
and had started to put up mighty
fine game, but the accident seemed to
dishearten the Indiana boys, and they
collapsed.
In the second period Cyril Pitts, of
Richmond, got his first chance to show
what was in him. Coach Rider, anx-
ious to save his first string men as
much as possible for the big Thangs-
giving day game with Cincinnati, made
liberal use of second string men. Pitts
was sent in to relieve Cook at left end.
The Richmond lad played until near
the end of the game, and he made
good. He is fast and uses his head to
good advantage. Coach Rider says
that with a little more training Pitts
will make fine end.

GREAT LAKES WINS
FROM NAVY rs

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 25.-In one
of the most bitterly contested games
ever witnessed on a local gridiron. the
eleven OF the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing Station of Chicago trailed the col
ors of the Annapolis midshipmen In
defeat here Saturday afternoon by a
score OF to 6, the narrow margin OF
a goal kicked.
The tars from the middle west turn
ed what seemed like certain defeat in
to victory in the last three minutes
of the game, when Ellison, playing at
right half back, grabbed up Middle
tumble almost in the shadow Of his
own goal posts, and after eluding three
opposing tackles, was prevented from
being overruled by three more, as the
result of splendid interference and
sprinted ninety yards to touchdown.
Blackjack, the big Indian, put up a
brilliant defensive game at right tao
kle for Great Lakes and kicked the
goal that ended the Middies' claim
for football supremacy in the east.

IRISH KICK OVER
DOPE At PURDUE

The dope bucket was once more up
set, kicked around, dented and discard
ed Saturday when the Notre Dame
footballers went to, Lafayette and de-
feated the Purdue stars to the tune OF
26-6, in an easy game.
Notre Danes captain was not in
the game, did not even accompany the
team to Lafayette. The Purdue team
was the best that has been on the
field since the days of the famous
Oliphant, according to expert football
men.
Purdue's only touchdown was made
In the first quarter when the Purdue
players rushed the ball into the Notre
Dame territory and Murphy slid over
the line for marker. The score in
the second quarter was 1876, in favor
Of Notre Dame.
Purdue then took a sudden brace in
the third quarter and pushed the ball
into the Irish territory, but the Notre
Dame players dug in and stopped the
rush.
Gipp made his sensational run Of
fifty-five yards over all but one Pur-
due man and that was Roth who stop
ped him just when he seemed sure Of
making another touchdown. This only
stopped the Irish team for a moment;
Gipp once more was given the ball and
he pulled off a sensational run for a
touchdown from the seventeen yard
line. Gipp also kicked goal. Score,
Notre Daniels, Purdue g.
In the last quarter probably the most
spectacular play of the day was pulled
off when Mohn caught a punt on his
own twenty-seven yard line and ran
throught the entire Purdue team for
a touchdown. Gipp kicked goal. leav-
ing the score, Notre Dame 26, Pur-
due 6.

imposing array of fistic talent.
Richie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
lightweight, probably the best of the
team, until he met Benny Leonard re-
Gently, was regarded as one of the
leading contenders for the lightweight
title. Richie has a very clever left
hand and should be able to more than
hold his own at the English style of
boxing. Other lghtweights in the en-
semble are Cal Delaney and Billy
Whalen.
Pal Moore, the Memphis bantam,
who is slated to meet Jimmy Wilde,
the English sensation, has at one time
or another defeated practically every
bantamweight of prominence in the
country with the exception of frankie
Burns. He has plenty of speed and
endurance, but is not much Of hitter.
Otis Bryant and Denny O'Keefe, the
welterweight and middleweight repre-
sentatiyes, have no standing in this
country, but if Marty Cross and Mike
O'Doud, who are already over there,
enter into the competition, America
will be represented in these divisions.
The heavyweights on the way are
Andre Anderson and back Heinen,
both Of Chicago.
