GAMES
BIC FACTOR IN
BIG Ten TITLE
Three Unbeaten Western Confer
ence Faced by Sturdy
Aggregations.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-The three I'M
beaten Western conference teams
in the race for the football
championship of the Big Ten
Chicago, Iowa and Michigan-today
engaged in battles which may be
the determining factors in the
chase for the championship title.
The games today are the semi-fin-
ais, only, but they are regarded as
more important in the champion
ship going than the final conflicts
next Saturday, with the possible
exception of the Chicago-Wiscon-
sin tilt next week.
Most of the football experts
picked the three leaders to win to-
day, at the same time qualifying
their predictions by calling atten-
ton to previous upsets in dope and
the fighting ability of the opposing
elevens-Illinois, Ohio State and
Wisconsin.
The Illini, who played Iowa to a
virtual standstill and then bump
ed Wisconsin out of the race by a
3 to 0 victory over the Badgers,
meet the Maroons on Stage field.
The Badgers meet the Michigan
team at Ann Arbor, while Ohio
State, in. the Buckeye stadium at
Columbus, will attempt to check
the advance Of the Hawkeyes to-
ward another title to hang up with
the spoils Of 1921. There are no
other conference games today, and
if others were scheduled they
would be but sideshows to the three
big conflicts.
Reports from Stage field, Column
bus, and Ann Arbon indicated
packed stands for the kickoff at
the three games.
Northwestern, Iowa's foe next
Saturday, plays Monmouth college
at Evanston.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 18.-Prince-

Palmer stadium for the second con-
test OF the 1922 Big Three" series.
Alumni followers of the two teams
had gathered in force last night
Early today all incoming transpor-
tation routes brought fresh throngs
and scenes Of gala enthusiasm
promised spectacle eclipsing any
of recent years. The stadium's ca
pacity Of $4,000 was taxed to the
limit; in fact, it was far from ad-
equate to take care of the demands,
ae approximately 100000 ticket re-
quests were received by athletic
authorities.

Did ever an athlete lapse so
quickly as has Jim Thorpe? 1t was
shock to all his admirers back
in 1920 when they learned that
this greatest back Of all time had
been handed his release by the
Canton team because of poor play.
He went to that team in 1916, and
1t was largely due to his play that
the Bulldogs won the professional
championship from Massillon. In
1917 Thorpe was still the most lu-
minous. In 1918 and 1919 Thorpe
led the Bulldogs to victory over
Akron.
But in 1920 Thorpe's life of COM
parative ease had begun to tell
upon him. His ssprinting ability
dropped from him like a cloak and
he developed too much fat. Thorpe
was canned by Canton. This year
Thorpe /. is heading an all-Indian
exhibition eleven more as man
a9er than player. For Jim's sun
has set.
From various quarters we hear
whispers that when the Notre
Dame back reached the Army's
Courtyard line toward the end OF
last Saturdays game and lay prone,
the ball was stolen from him by
frenxied cadet defenders. II so,
there is excellent precedent for
this method Of defense. Arthur Poe

RIVER TABLE LOWERED

According to residents and lend
owners along the Rio Grande north
Of Albuquerque, the water table in
the valley has been reduced con
siderably by the dry summer. ON
the whole, this has had a beneficial
effect, they say. There seems to be
plenty Of water in the river for tho
various irrigation systems,
A man who owns property in the
Alameda region complained of a.
shortage of water for some OF his
bitches, and was told that was the
best kind of argument for the re-
clamation project. This man, as
yet, has not favored the reclama-
ton plans.
on the mesa east OF the city, the
dry farm crops are being starved
out for lack of water Fields that
had corn waist high this time lasf
year, now bears corn not more than
foot in height and beginning to
tassel The crop will not be OF
much value, farmers say. The
mountain showers that usually visit
that section have been almost en-
tircly absent this summer.
