Blue Of Eli Is Predominant Color In College
 Athletics


 NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-The year 1923 in in tercollegiate athletics will go down in history with the Blue of Yale as it's predominant color.
 From the indoor season that closed last winter, on through the spring program and winding up briskly this month, the Ellis have amassed one of the most spectacularly triumphant records that intercollegiate annals have ever known. Besides sweeping to Big Three" heights in eight fields of competition, in convincing fash ion, Yale carried off eastern inter . collegiate honors in six branches of sport. No other eastern institution can boast a record even close to this remarkable achievement.
 Intercollegiate championships or general recognition as title holding caliber have been gained by Yale ar rays in swimming, polo, basketball' rowing and football, while the Blue also furnished, in Dexter Cummings, the intercollegiate golf champion. Big Three honors went to the Blue in basketball, swimming, polo, row ing, track and field, baseball, cross country and football.
 The crowning glory of Yale's vic- torious march came with the trl- umph of its mighty gridiron machine over Harvard, giving the Blue It's pfirst Big There" championship since 1916 and closing an undefeated record of much impressiveness that many critics award eastern titular honors to the Ellis. Cornell, however, with only Penn in the path of an other unbeaten season, may rival the Blue claims to chief honors, especial ly if it disposes of the quakers Tn convincing manner.
 Outside of football, Yale's rowing triumphs were the most brilliant. The powerful Blue varsity crew swept to victory over Harvard. Cor nell. Princeton, Columbia and Penn sylvania. It was accorded first place in eastern ranking with the Univer- sity of Washington, which trlumphed at Poughkeepsie, alone in position 10 dispute the Blues supremacy natlon- ally

Incidentally, "Ducky Pond. the halfback, who crossed liar yards goal line with the first Yale touchdown since 1907, also pitched the Ellis to their all-important tri- umphs over the Crimson and Ilger'

Contestants In High School Game Thursday Morning At Redwood Have Pulled Many Games Over In Last Few Minutes

The woodlawn High school and the Phillips High school football teams are strikingly alike In one very important phase of their play. This feature of the two teams will make their game at Redwood Thurs day morning of more interest than any other feature of the play of two football teams could possibly make 1t; for football game, like good story, ceases to be of great interest when the result of the game is evident. The fact that both of these teams possess to a wonderful degree the ability to come back after they have seemingly lost their game and save themselves iron. defeat will make those who see the game Thanksgiving morning look on with intense interest until the final whistle blows, knowing that the game may be won or lost by either team in the last few minutes of play.
 This ability to come back after be- ing scored upon and seemingly beaten was displayed to a marked degree by the Phillips team in their game with Central High of Chattanooga. After the strong Central team had set forth with great dash and scored a touchdown in the first three minutes of play and had continued their ex- ceptionally strong offensive until they had scored another touchdown in the same period of play. making the score 13 to 0, the Phillips team came back and in spite of the fact that they had had two long trips and one hard game already that week and were playing on a strange field with no supporters there to urge them on tied the score.,
 The Woodlawners first showed their capacity for rising to meet the situation even when the tine was limited in the third and fourth quar- ters of the Ensley game, when Ems ley had them 2 to o. They seemed to awake to the possibility of & dffeat and to become worked up to the pitch that made it possible for them to do what had been impossible for them up to that time and they scored two touchdown in the last quarter. there by winning a very hard-fought game.
 Last Saturday, much to their sur prise, the Junior Colonels in, their game with Anniston High at Annis- ton found themselves starring into the face of defeat with Anniston on the big end of an 18-to-6 score and only five minutes left in which to turn back the awful tide that de- feat at the hands of such a team would have been to them. They had the ball on the 50-yard line. A pass from Bancroft to Maxwell went for touchdown and before the time ex- pired two more passes by the same pair netted another touchdown and Larkin kicked goal that gave the point necessary to save, the day and the honor of Woodlawn High.
 The Phillips teams scores in the Chattanooga game came as result of the success of their forward passes so both goals will be in constant danger Thursday and both the teams and the spectators will be watching closely all the time for fear of miss ing something sensational along the forward pass route.

Strong West Virginia Eleven To Play Washington And
 Jefferson

NEW YORK, Nov 27.-Four games between more or less prominent teams and a number of farewell brawls between schools in the sec ondary football class, Thanksgiving g Day, will wind up the greatest of rall football seasons in the east.
 The unefeated Cornell team which has not even been tied and whose supporters claim for 1t share of the championship generally awarded to Yale. will play the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. The time was when the Cornell game was a glorious finale for Penn. with Cor nell a pitiful victim. But the posi- tions are reversed as the hour of the kickoff now approaches. Penn Is not conceded a chance to win and the team. was ripped apart last week in a desperate effort of Coach Lou Young to assemble team of men who, if they can't play star football, at least can be counted on to make a fight.
 Dartmouth, which beat Harvard but spoiled a great record by losing to Cornell, plays Columbia in New York. The Pittsburg Partners, in their last game under Pop Warner who goes to California next year, will play their favorite rivals, Penn State. State has by, far the better record but Pitt has been improving in the last weeks of the season.
 And at Morgantown, w. Va.,. the West Virginia Mountaineers. whose worst showing was a tie with Penn State, will meet Washington and Jeff ferson in the ultimate commotion of a successful season.
 Everywhere in the east this year the sporting atmosphere has been saturated with football interest, and the crowds at the big games were limited only by the generous capac- ities of the amphitheatres Maryland Brown, Dartmouth, Syracuse and St Johns of Brooklyn, secondary school which was not defeated, all distinguished their names.
 Only Cornell and Yale have been undefeated and united in this part of thA country.

SHOOK IS OUT OF
 SEWANEE LINEUP
Star Guard Will Not Be Able To Play Against The
 Vandy Eleven

SEWANEE, Tenn. Nov. 27.-(Spe- cial .)-George Shook. who has played guard fon the Tigers for the past three seasons, and has played in every game this season, suffered an injury to his leg in the Maryville game. It has developed that a bone is cracked, and Shook has spent the past week in the hospital, only coming out, Sat urady, and then on crutches.
 Shook is effectively out of the Van derbilt game, which was to be his last in a Tiger football uniform. This is hard on Shook, and hard on the Tigers. for his 175 pounds and three years experience, to say nothing of his six feet of reach, was counted on to aid the Tiger forwards in stem ming the rush of the Vandy line.
 The Tiger guards have suffered more than usual this year First Green Benton got a broken leg in the first game of the season, then Cap tain Litton received broken nose Tn the Centre game. and now Snook turns in what is in effect broken leg. so far as playing any more this wear is concerned. Litton is hack in the game and will play against Vandy, but both Benton and Shook are through Truly, the guard posi- ton on the 1928 Tiger team has been an unlucky one.

 It says: Complete wreckage of Harvard's football furniture seemed somewhat drastic, though the won der was that after the lean years the sons of Eli did not attempt to remove the stadium itself.
 For the destruction of the goal posts there was some excuse. To drag down the Harvard colors from the Union and other places, was ex- cessively bad hammered. Apologies are due to university, which played as it always plays, hard and clean ly, against heavy odds and then took defeat splendidly'

 Florida will outweigh Alabama. Florida will feel more certain of vic tory than Alabama Their 7-7 tie with Tech was much more impressive than Alabama's scoreless tie. The bunting of Newton will be speedily rushed by the 'Bama forwards, while the speed of the backs will find ample competition from Barnes, Baty and Gillis. The. ends should be evenly matched, with Captain Clemens watched closely The tackles and guards of Florida will have weight on their side but will not be able to prove more aggressive than Jones and Camp, Langhorne or Comp ton and Buckler.
 So, from all of that, 1t will be the classic of the south in Birmingham on Thursday. No other engagement not even the Auburn Tech battle at Atlanta, will have as much at stake as the 'Bama Georgia affair For, from the result, comes Alabama's claim to the Dixie title, a claim which, with a defeat of Florida, could not be contested by any other eleven.
