FRONT and DEMPSEY SIGN ARTICLES TO-DAY
FIGHT FOR EAST'S GRID
HONORS GROWS CLOSER
MCMILLAN PRAISED
BY FAMOUS CRITICS

Two of the East's premier foot
ball critics yesterday handed
quarter back laurels to Capt.
'Bo" Mcmillan of the Centre
eleven. Grantland Rice of the
Washington Herald and Robert
Maxwell of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. Maxwell, who
refereed the classic battle Satur-
day at Cambridge, says:
Mcmillan lived up to his ad-
vance notices. Without doubt
he is the greatest quarter back
playing today, and this takes in
Boynton, of Williams. The won
derful "Bo" was a great field
general and a great man at
carrying the ball. However, he
did not try to do everything
himself, as is the case with other
stars. His running through a
broken field was marvellous and
he was a hard man to tackle.
Weaver, all-American center,
was outplayed by Havemeyer.
The Crimson pivot man has been
grossly underrated, If his work
on Saturday was a criterion of
his prowess."

BEZDEK DRIVING
PENN SKATERS
Holds Long Workout Pre-
pairing for Penn Game
Saturday.

State College. Pa, Oct 25.-Far
from taking the Penn game lightly
as a result of the defeat suffered by
the Red and Blue eleven last Sat-
urday, Coach Bezdek told the Penn
State squad this afternoon that they
would have to watch the Quakers
more than ever because Heisman's 5
team will be out to redeem itself
this week.
The injury to Glen Killinger, the
Harrisburg boy who has been star
ring at quarterback, has not proved
to be as serious as was at first be-
lieved, but it is still doubtful if he
will be able to play against Penn
on Saturday.
BeZdek held his usual Monday
workout today, with no rough work
but with a general going over OF
plays. The varsity will scrimmage
tomorrow and Wednesday, with an
other light workout previous to
their departure for Philadelphia on
Thursday.

New York, Oct 25-There will be
no baseball war.
Ban B. johnson, president of the
American League, and his five sup
porters will enter the camp of the
National Leaguers and the three
progressive American Leaguers.
They will endeavor to make the
entrance appear as unlike surrender
as possible, which is ever the John
sonian way. but they will be there
in short order. They will agree to
whatever methods Of reform the
progressives deem advisable. They
will probably take the form of a
new high court of baseball, but will
leave johnson at the head OF the
American League and John Heydler
at the head of the National League.
johnson and five of his club own
ers declined to enter the conference
at Chicago recently at which the
eight National League club owners,
the RUPERT Huston combination Of
New York, the Boston Club and
Comiskey's Chicago Club. decided
that something had to be done for
baseball.

4 WESTERN TEAMS CLOSELY
GROUPED IN BIG-1 GRID RACE

The Big Ten gridiron followers
are due for a showdown in the
three-cornered race for the title
between Illinois, Chicago and Ohio
State in the next two weeks.
Chicago meets the Buckeyes in
the first of the probable title scraps
next Saturday, with the Maroons
and Illinois fighting 1t out the fol-
lowing week, both games being
staged on the Chicago field.
But while the race at present ap-
pears to be three-cornered, it may
well be said that before the sea-
son is over it will be four-cornered,
with Wisconsin hanging onto the
fourth section of attention. Ohio
State spilled the bucket last Sat
urday with a last-minute victory
over the Badger eleven. But Wis
~consin has the stuff and victories
over both Chicago and Illinois are
not improbable.
Chicago has a powerful eleven
and has the edge over Ohio State
Saturday. but their luck against IL
linois doesn't run in the same vein.
Coach Zuppke has a team of vet
Grams, and the silent, foxy mentor
is all set for his third consecutive
conference title unless Chicago or
Wisconsin upsets the dope.
Illinois opposes Minnesota this
Saturday and is an easy favorite
at present. The well-known abil-
ity of the Gophers to play against
Illinois when falling before other
teams is fact not to be touched
lightly. Indiana and Northwestern.
