Officials Think US.
Could Whip Mexico
In Less Than 3 Years

Washington, Nov. 2l.,-State de-
partment officials in discussing the
Mexican situation today disclosed
that three years ago the army gen.
eral staff estimated that an army OF
100000 men and three years would
be required for complete interview
ton in Mexico by the United States.
Officials did not say what the
present estimate of the general stan
was, but it was understood to be
less than that prepared before the
world war, due to the development
of new instruments of warfare and
an enormous increase in American
war materials Of all kinds, particu-
larly motorized transports, aifpianes
and artillery.
Discussing the case of William ..
Jenkins, american consular agent at
Puebla, who was rearrested last
Tuesday on charges in connection
with his abduction of bandits, offl-
Gals said because of the Mexican
governments laxity in trying to put
down the revolution, it had failed
to give proper protection to Jenkins
and that consequently, he might
have. ground for claim against the
Mexican government for the ran
som money paid to his captors.

and perhaps "out-coached," Coach
Schulte's eleven is out for real
tussle.
Eyes on Indianapolis.
Meanwhile all eyes are on the
Indiana-Syracuse game at Indiana
polls scheduled to take place next
Saturday. Coach Jumbo Stichm of
Husker fame is coaching the Indi-
ana eleven and according to the
dope is slated for quite a setback.
Nevertheless comparative scores
will be interesting.
Assistant Coach Schissler, who
has acted as Nebraska scout in all
important games, will see the game
leaving Lincoln for the Hoosier cap
ital Friday evening. Next Monday
and Tuesday will see the Nebraska
squad, after a week of comparative
rest, driving through drills with the
utmost speed, combating Syracuse
formations.
At Syracuse there is an intense
interest in the Husker conflict.
Most news writers are inclined to
view the meeting as an easy victory
for the fasteners. The Orange

named, achieved a notable victory
over Colgate last Saturday, making
them clearly eastern champions de-

were about 100000 Armenians alto

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Open warfare
between President Ban Johnson of
the American league and the faction
composed of Charles A. >Comiskey,
owner of the Chicago, club; ; Harry
Frazee of Boston and Col. Jacob
Rupert of the New York club,
fared up when Comiskey issued a
statement charging President John
son with endangering the integrity
of base ball.

sion," Coniskey said, that Mr..
Johnsonfs endangering not only the
value of our properties, but the in
tegrity of base bali and we there
fore intend to do everything pos
sible to rid organized base BAH of
the impeachment which we believe is
now attached to it,"
"Mr. Jacob Rupert of New York,
Mr.. H. H. Frazee of Boston and
Mr.. James Dunn of Cleveland and
myself are the present directors of
the league. We are the owners of
properties worth at least several
million dollars. Mr.. Johnson has
no property interests in the Amer
lean league or in any of the individ-
ual clubs constituting that league.
1t is fair to presume, therefore, that
we are interested in preserving the
integrity Of the league if for no
other reason than that we are inter
ested in conserving the properties
in which we are vitality interested"
Corniskey said the board of di-
rectors had attempted to inquire
into President Johnson's perpetual
franchise to act as president of the
league, but that President Johnson
at no time appeared before The d.
rectors.
The annual meeting of the league,
which the board of directors issued
a call to be held in New York De-

Rome, Nov 2l.-The American
embassy here is carefully watching
the situation in Italy, which, it is as
serted, may develop seriously from
one coast to another as regards both
Italy and the Dalmation coast.
Peter AJay, the American charge

Mr.. Jay is being aided in his task
BY personal and cordial intercourse

Sforza, under-secretary for foreign
affairs.
Mr.. Jay told The Associated Press
that he realized that the Italian gov
eminent was doing all that was thu
manly possible and straining every
nerve to prevent trouble, both at
home and on the Adriatic, but that
complications might arise which it
would find beyond its power to con-
troll and for which it could hardly be
considered responsible.

Evenly Matched, Yale
And Harvard Meet
In Foot Ball Classic

New York, Nov. 2l.-The Har-
ivard-Yale game in Boston will be
Saturdays feature of the waning
eastern foot ball season. The teams
are we'll matched in some respects,
but Harvard tied Princeton and
Princeton defeated Yale.
Harvard's playing against Prince
ton was much more impressive than
Yale's. Early in the game Harvard
rushed more than half the length Of
the field and nearly got a touch
down. With a great rally late in
the game it tied the score by
another march down the field and
across the Princeton goal line.
Nothing like this consistent at
tack was shown by Yale in its game
with Princeton. Harvard has
another advantage in that its reg
ulars did not play against Tufts last
Saturday but watched the Yale
Princeton battle. This week of
rest may be the deciding factor.
There will be no international
meetin> between Rutgers and
Northwestern at Newark, N. J. They
seem to be. of equal ability. Le-
high is slight favorite in its an
nual match with Lafayette.
Georgetown meets Washington
and Lee and Washington and JEFF
ferson plays West Virginia Wes-
leyan. Each combination ranks
high in its territory. The contest
probably will be close with the
breaks being the deciding factor.
Several teams will devote tomorrow
to practice for their final games on
Thanksgiving day. The principal
games in the east follow:
Yale at Harvard, Lafayette at Le-
high, Rutgers against Northwest
ern at Newark, N. j., Washington
and Lee at Georgetown, West Vir-
GINA Wesleyan at Washington and
