tingent Is paying the coming TIT with

Indiana and Notre Dame viii take the
field with the game count even. which

any too much advantage when thesc

fident of a victory.

witness the Notre Dame team In action
Saturday are going to agree with the
critics OF the East that Rockne this year
has one OF the best elevens ever.
Fumbles marred the brilliancy or the
team somewhat when Nebraska. Army
and Purdue were met Saturday, now
ever there will be no fumbies that arc
not backed by good excuses. Roekne Is
pouDdIng the danger Of these errors Into
his players this week, working them hard
In an effort to check the fault and
threatening to jerk the man responsible
for the sandlot drawback.

aerial attack against Indiana last year,

With Rose at Terre Haute
Saturday.

With the !. c. A. L. championship

will take his Butler Bulldogs to Terre
Haute Saturday to take the last stitch,
Rose Poly furnishing the opposition.
This Is the only out of town contest on
the 1920 Butler card and a large per-

the trip with the team. If the Butler
warriors can play football as good away
from home as they can on Irwin field

The big problem that eonfronts Page.
and which must be solved before Satur-

The most probable solution that Page

bench all season.
Bob Bastian, Stephenson, Stricken and

GRAHAM HAS

Although Graham has been working at
half back all year for Page, he is not
new at quarter and should be able to run
the team in great style. He held down
the quarter position on his high school
team in Chicago.
Following the Rose game, Butler will
close the season at Irwin field, Nov. 20,

MINORS HOLD THE KEY

minor leagues suddenly find them
selves ushered with pomp to q box
seat, with the prima donnas sing

With the American League on the
rocks by the secession Of New York,

tweIve-club league In the incubator,

of prominence In history. Both fac
tions are sure to make concessions
to the minors in the desire to get
their support.
Instead of wrapping a pair of chok-
ing hands around their throat, after
the fashion of the past, the major
league factions will be smoothing
their backs and asking "Whnt can
we do for you? Nothing Is too
good"
Barring the decision Of tho courts
in the legal battle that Ban johnson
threatens to start to get possession Of
Babe Ruth, Eddie Collins, Ray
Schnlk, Harry Hooper. Dick Kerr and
other stars, the minors hold the
weights that will swing the balance
one way or another.
