 Title Is A We'll Muddled Affair
By JAMES M'CLAIN Neased Wire to The Are-HeraId,

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Dr. Albert Einstein, Wu Hung-Li, inventor of Nah Jong, and Bernard Shaw prob ably will have to be named as a special commission to pick the west ern football champions of 1923
 correct answer, 1t Is believed can be secured by playing the great Chinese game by the rules of the theory of relativity and dividing the resultant score by the square root of the sum total of winnings of Shavian enthusiasts who followed Bernard's g Dempsey. 50 to l.
 No less complicated procedure can be expected to analyze completely the jumbled table of the seasons re- suits following Saturdays grid game. If the championship" were to be usually figured the best means of doping the strength of football teams, it might go to the University of Illinois, leaders of the Big Ten conference. But little Coe college out at Cedar Rapids, la, seldom heard of beyond the borders of it's own state, has just as good a claim.
 Strange things happen. Saturday. Notre Dame, conquerors of the Army, Princeton and Georgia Tech in i'm portant intersectional games and hailed as greatest football machine in the country, went down to ignom- inious defeat at the hands of Ne braska. The Cornhuskers are a weak team this year. Yet they out played the fighting Irish in every de- partment of play. save passing, and won, IA to z.
 Nebraska . "WOnder Team"
 Nebraska might now become the wonder team" had she not been de- feated by the Illini, 21 to 0, early in the season. That is where Illinois gets on.
 Goes claim is more complicated. The conquertrs of Notre Dame have been tied by both Missouri and Kan sas. Iowa state beat Missouri 2 to o, and then Drake of Des Moines beat Iowa State by a couple of dozen points. On Saturday little Coe hu- initiated Drake, 12 to 6. That's that. Notre Dames defeat was a big up- set; the Irish had been picked to win by a large margin. Oklahoma de- feated Missouri. 13 to O, in another upset in the Missouri valley race Elsewhere the results were as fore- cast.
 Red" Grange's touchdown and a field goal beat Wisconsin, 10 to O. But after that first period Illinois almost faded from the field, although the Badgers were unable to score.

Sarazen DefieS
 Racing World At AgeOf Two Years

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-An under sized, two-year-old horse, whose mother once trudged between the shafts of wagon at ordinary toll, has come flashing down the stretch of the American racing season to finish neck and neck with Zev, In Memoriam and other great winners. His name is Sarazen, and, like the beloved "Old Bones," which is the more familiar way of mentioning Ex- terminator, Sarazen Is gelding.
 Sarazen has won the championship of the two-year-o-d class and last week he won one section of the Pim-. mile distance, which is a pretty long hike for a two-year- old, defeating Blazes, a five-year- and General Thatcher, age three. It would be foolhardy of Sam Hildreth, who trains Zev, to let that winner of the inter- national match race, ruin his reputa- tion further against a mere two-year- old. but if HildretL is willing to take the chance. Max Hirsch, who trained Sa razen, is ready to send the infant speeder to the post for run of one mine and a quarter. That was the distance which Hildreth stipulated for a match race with My Own before Zev was finally chosen as the Ameri- can representative against PapyruS, so he could hardly base a refusal of Hirsch's challenge on the fact that the distance is too short to determine a championship. But, if Zev does not want to recognize Sarazen's right to challenge proud three-year-old then the same defi goes for In Memo riam and My Own. Weight-for-a age, Sarazen challenges the world at the impudent age of two.
 Sarazen Like Norwich.
 In a vague way, Sarazen resembles the extraordinary Norwich, who won 10 races as a two-year old, won the Kentucky Derby as three-year-o took some other races In his second year of of competition, and then went to smash. He has a short barrel and the ridge of his back, like Morvich's, does not stand very high from the ground. However, the resemblance fades away when the scrutiny pe- comes more particular, for Sarazen' small as he Is, does not have that pudgy thickness of Norwich. He has won nine races as a two-year-old thus far and within week may nave won as many as Norwich did in his second year. Norwich won ID. Ihen there will remain before him only one great record to surpass, the rec ord of Colin, who took a dozen win ming purses in his second year.
 But Sarazen, for all his nine vic tories, has hardly paid as an invest ment. He cost Mrs. William K. Van derbilt $35,000 early in the year ana his winnings have been only $37,o0V, because he gave so little promise, all things considered, that his first own CTS thought they would save the money they otherwise would have de- posited as forfeits for big races. However, Sarazen will go to the post in the Kentucky Derby next spring, and unless something goes apruptiy wrong with him in the meantime, will De the favorite in the first big struggle of the three-year-old season.

ILLINOIS IS STILL LEADING BIC TEN'|
Led By 'Red' Grange Illinois PIunges On To Cham-
 pionship

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Three Big Ten football teams were left in the race for Western conference championship honors as a result of Saturdays games, with further indications that tt season will end with two elevens sharing first honors.
 Wisconsin was eliminated from championship consideration through its defeat by Illinois, leaving the Illini. Michigan and Minnesota in the running. Each of these teams has two moro games to play, but Illinois has but one conference contest, that with Ohio State two weeks away:
 Minnesota and Michigan on the same date will meet. but in the meantime Michigan to keep it's title clear must beat Wisconsin and Min nesota must defeat Iowa. A victory by Illinois over Ohio State, whlcn seems more than probable, would leave Michigan and Minnesota to bat tie for the honor of sharing a posi- tion beside the Illini, unless they are eliminated next Saturday by Wiscon- sin or Ohio State. Michigan, with Wisconsin and Minnesota to contend with, admittedly had the hardest row to hoe.
 Yesterdays results for the most part ran true to form as far as the conference games were concerned, except that Ohio States 32 to vic- tory over Purdue was surprise the size of the ons-sided score being un- expected Outside the conference Nebraska's 14 to z win over Notre Dame proved the big upset of the day in middle west football.
 Illinois, led by the spectacular Red" Grange, charged through Wis consin at Urbana, 10 to o, in game that proved repetition of former Illinois victories with Grange and Britton making the Illini points.
 After Indiana had held Chicago's team to standstill in the first half. the Maroons opened up a smashing offensive in the last periods that took all the wind out of the Hoosier sails and left them becalmed while Chicago romped to a 27 to victory. Indiana fought gamely during the first two periods but seemed tired by the slashing offensive tactics of the big Maroons.
 ohio State exhibited an aerial at tack that seemed to daze Purdue and won from the Boilermakers by S2 to score. In nGn-conference con tests Michigan won 26 to victory over the United States Marines, all though the contest was bitterly fought and Northwestern defeated Lake Forest, 32 to o.

FROM THE OBSERVATORY LOOKING PROSPECTS OVER

The Green Wave, checked tempo rarily, rolled on late in the game at Montgomery Saturday afternoon and the Auburn Tiger was near sub merged. It was surprised student body, and a dazed one, that filed de- jectedly sout of Crampton Bowl after Brown, great Greenie halfback, had grabbed the oval and on faked end run went over the last white line which separates joy from misery. or vice versa. But Tulane's Wave did not entirely break the levee when the try for point nt-after-touchdown went astray. The final score was all. Tulane's showing against Vanderbilt a couple of weeks ago in holding the Commodores to a two-touchdown-t to- one victory emphasized more strong ly. along with her tie of Auburn, that the Louisianians have a real football team.
 Alabama showed some real foot ball strength when she downed the Kentucky State eleven at Denny field by the count of Is to 8. The Tide was high and the Wildcats were sub merged. "The team without an of- fense." someone has termed It. But 'Bama has the offense. as was clear ly shown, and along with it the knowledge of when to use it and when not to. Coach Wallace Wade has thrown his hat into the ring and bid for southern title and will pit his Crimsons against two of the south's strongest teams on the next two Saturdays to uphold his conten- tion that Alabama Is Dixie's best.

 Another of those hazy propositions which nobody understands what it is. but everybody claims at various times for their favorite team-"a moral victory"-has been won by a south ern over northern one. Georgia Tech copped one of these so-called victories when she held Penn State to 7-to-O victory. It is cruel bit of misfortune that moral victories" are not figured in when the conference championship standing Is computed for there would be many moral champions" whereas now they are only second division teams.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1f.-There aren't many colpred men in the Yukon.
 Therefore. Jack Renault, the Can o1ian heavyweight fighter. is not yet Ready to fight Harry Wills, the New Orleans negro, and he candidly says so.
 Renault claims to have been a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police.

Occasionally he woudl serve a summons on a speeding dog team. He boasts that he always "got his man."

M'GINTY TO GET CRACK AT KELLY
Evans Matches Two For Main Bout Next Mon-
 day Niuht

John McGinty will get another chance at Battling Kelly in the Bir- mtngham Athletic club ring. This was the substance of an announce Dave Evans, who has made arrange ments to bring these two together again next Monday night.
 The announcement that the two were to meet again is hailed with much enthusiasm by those fans who bout at the Finley-Nelson scrap a week ago. In this scrap, McGinty shaded the Battler by a clear mar gin, despite the fact that Referee Max Scholder called the bout draw. Monday night the fight will the headliner Cf the Athletic clubs show and will scrap for 10 rounds. The decision will be awarded by competent judges while Dave Evans will be in the ring.
 McGlnty has earned a main bout rating by his great showing against the experienced Kelly. He was at the height of his fighting ability in his last bout and his timing was perfect, while his heavy blows to the body and stomach distressed Kelly. Using wicked left jab that strengthened Kelly up repeatedly he blocked his rushes and solved his "corkscrew'' punch.
 Starting as a preliminary boxer, McGinty won attention by his eff cient manner of handling himself in the ring and winning consistently. There has never been a preliminary boxer in the Birmingham Athletic club ring, probably, who could han dle himself better than McGinty. His balance Is perfect at all times and his rushes are hard to check. On the defense his great footwork keeps him out of danger.
 The battling Pratt City 1rfshman has been working hard for the past few months for main bout. Evans sent him into the ring last week as a tryout against the veteran Kelly, with a promise if he made good that he would get his wish to fight in a main bout, and McGinty made good. He put up a clean, aggressive fight that won the crowd around the squared ring and his willingness kept the fight interesting throughout.
 Nor will this grudge affair be the only one on the bill. Petey Sarron, longing for a chance to match his rushing fight against the fancy box ing of Young Battling Kelly, pro- tege of the Battler, has got 1t at last. The fighting little Assyrian will meet Young Kelly in a preliminary bout which should prove second only to the main fight. Petey has yet to be matched with a boy who could stand the gaff when he rushed and the outcome of the Sarron-K Kelly bout will be watched with interest.

GENARO WILL GET CHANCE AT TITLE

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Frankie Genaro, a tiny Italian boxer, with the dreamy face of poet. who won the amateur flyweight championship of the world as member of Amer ica's Olympic team in 1920, will be given chance at the worlds pro- fessional title on December IT.
 Genaro- has been matched to fight Pancho Villa. The Filipino who won the championship here last summer by a cruel knockout over the brave Jimmy Wilde, in which Wilde was twice knocked cold after the bell. only to revive each time and return to the battle until third knock -out caught him in the middle of round.
 Villa, although a terrific hitter for his weight, and 6 little man of fe- line craft in bouncing on a wobbling adversary, has never been able to wobble Genaro. Three times Genaro beat him before Villa got the match with Wilde for the world champion ship. Therefore, Genaro has been making himself as offensive as pos- sible to Villa ever since. with de- mands for a championship match.
 It Is explained on Genaro's behalf that he Is not really a poet. and wouldn't know a sonnet from q roundelay. He has that dreamy look because he has two children who won't let him get enough sleep.

of to o and since has downed all teams of her class repeatedly. Flor ida, rated by many as Dixie's second best eleven, was able to score but meager two-to-one goal victory over the Mercerites. The Oglethorpe Sol- diers turned the trick. When the Mercer point after touchdown failed another cause was lost by this slen- der margin. Oglethorpe's kick went true and she won, 2 to 6.
 o O O
 The falling of teams by this ap- parently insignificant part of the great game of football seems to em- phasize the need of better trained kickers. Few coaches seem to take the proper time with developing their point-after-touchdow men and lose games repeatedly. It seems, in fact, that the kicking game Is fast losing footing on the gridiron. One hears no more of the one-iime numerous players who could send the ball spi- railing down the field 60, 70 and sometimes 80 yards. Fifty yards is now considered a good punt for the college kicker. It seems that we have gone far from the balmy days of Bully" vandeGraaf, Derrill Pratt and other stars of past years on games by kicking when other meth ods failed.

 "Bo" McMillin's husky team failed to beat Boston college, but they made good showing against their more accomplished foemen; in fact, 1t might almost be termed a moral victory" Boston college, however, Cutthought the Centenary gridders and brains overcame brawn.

 Magic City fans will get an oppor- nj tA next Saturday, if the opinion of some sport writers can be taken as au- thentic. Centre college whose of fense depends largely upon the great Flash" Covington. star quarterback, will get into action here against Auburn. This proposition of "one- man teams" however, seems to be mostly bunk and certainly does the other 10 players on the eleven injury. The Praying CClonels, no more than any other team, Is not a one-man affair. No one man can win in the face of another team and the smooth working unit that Is characteristic of a good team depends upon Il parts.
