FATTY LAWRENCE
 GREAT PIVOT MAN
Has Made Good Showing On PIainsmen
 Eleven

AUBURN Ala, Nov 25.-(SpeciaI) From Plantersville, Ala, halls one James Driskell Lawrence, more fla miliarly known about the Auburn campus and in southern football as Fatty" Lawrence This husky lad, years of age, received his prepara- tory training in the Dallas County High school In his home town in the good old days before old King Foot ball had made his appearance in the smaller institutions of learning. con- sequently the chubby pivot man of the Auburn Tiger football team had not donned the moleskin toggery when he arrived on the Plains in the fall of 1918.
 During the season of 191S-19, which was the s. A. T. c. year Lawrence played his first football with his company team. In 1919 he played tackle on his sophomore class team and the following year, in 1920, he played fullback on the junior class team. Coach Donahue happened to view the Plantersville youngster on one of his daily rampages al fullback and the following spring when the spring training season came around he was called on to hold down one of the linemen's jobs. After his first year at guard, in 1921, he was moved and assigned the post at center-a very responsible position-where he has made for himself name that is known wherever football is played in the south. Last year he was promi-
 nently mentioned for all-southern center on the mythical all-southern team.
 Besides being prominently con nected with atheltics, the popular Auburn center has gained for him. self many honors in an academic way, graduating last year in the school of agriculture with honors. Besides be- ing a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity he has membership in Phi Pappa Phi and Gamma Sigma Delta, two national and prominent honor fraternities, and in Spades Honor Junion Class society.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-(By Associated Press s.)-The curtain was rung down on the 1923 football season tonight with Michigan and Illinois sharing the championship laurels, Last year Michigan and Iowa divided the honors.
 Michigan with crippled team, maintained its unsullied record and its claim to first honors by winning It's fourth victory of the season, de- feating Minnesota 10 to while H. linois won it's fifth victory by virtue of Britton's toe and Oranges fleet legs. beating Ohio State g to 0.
 Minnesota, the only other team which started it's game today with a chance at the championship, could have won only in case both Illinois and Michigan had been beaten. The Gophers, with two victories. one defeat and a tie, wound up in fourth position in the percentage column, Chicago with it's five victories and one defeat. slipping into third place.
 The final standing of teams showed three ties, Illinois and Michigan be- ing even for first honors, Iowa and Indiana trying for fifth place, all though Iowa had three victories and as many defeats while Indians had but two of each. Indiana shared this honor in the conference despite the tacL that IL scored put 1V pOlHlS lO US opponents S5. Wicconsin, with win, three defeats and 8 tie, nosed Aout Ohio State and Purdue for seventh position, the latter teams being tied with one game won and four lost. Northwestern played six games and lost them all, It's position in the cel- lar going unchalleged, although the Purple made a desperate bid to get into the win column today in its game with Iowa, putting up the best struggle of the season but was de- feated, F to If.

Yale Rejoices On
 Account Of Win .OUer HarUGrd

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-There was rejoicing today wherever sons of Eli Yale were gathered, the cause being Yales 13 to 0 triumph over Harvard yesterday afternoon. It was Yale's first victory over the Crimson in five years; it developed the first Yale touchdown scored In the Harvard stadium in 16 years, and it won for the Ellis a place as a leader, If not the leader, of eastern college football for the season of 1928.
 Just now Cornell and West Vir- ginia share with Yale the distinction of being undefeated, but both Cornell and West Virginia have yet to face powerful rivals, and there is the pos sibility that one or both, in their Thanks sgiving Day games, may fall notch below the Blue.
 Rain was an important factor in the Yale triumph. Water made the Harvard stadium field a thick layer of mud, which caused Harvard to commit more errors in Saturdays contest than 1t has committed in its | long football history. Yale turned three of these errors into points, scoring a touchdown on a recovered tumble; a field goal on another re- covered tumble and another field goal on a recovered blocked punt Thus 1 it was the Ellis who won 18 to 0. de- spite their failure to make a first down in the entire game.
 Similar weather conditions pre- vailed at the Polo grounds and on | other eastern gridirons. and with few exceptions +breaks' were then fac tors in producing scores
 In the Array Navy game and in the Boston eEe-Vermont contest, the breaks were less numerous or less important, and scoreless ties were the result.
 No more bitterly fought game has featured Army-Navy history than that of yesterday. Up and down the field the battle waged with first one team and then the other showing to slight advantage. but neither able to turn surh fleeting favor into points. Each attempted a field goal, these attempts being the only seri- ous threats to score.
 Army showed decided advantage in the kicking department and can be said to have been somewhat out tucked when in the fourth period, it blocked successive punts by the Navy only to see the Middies recover the ball, once on the Navy's 16-yard line and again only two yards from the Middlies' goal line,
 The east and middle west split even in the intersectional features of the day when the TO Syracuse victory over Nebraska was counter balanced by Notre Dames 26 to win over Carnegie Tech.
 Thanksgiving Day engagements in- volying Cornell and Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Columbia, Pittsburg and Penn State, West Virginia and Washington and Jefferson, Brown and Lehigh and Vermont and Marquette and Saturday battles in which Boston college will meet Holy Cross, and Fordham will play Georgetown, are the feature contests of the eastern interest this week.

Tremaine Meets Villa

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--Carl Ire maine, known as a great front runner" among the bantamweights of the day. will toy with human hand grenade in the Garden ring next Friday night.
 He will meet Pancho Villa, busy little sadie colored Filipino who holds the flyweight championship. No title will be involved, as Ire maine has none to lose and the fight will be above the limit for Villas flyweight bauble.
 Tremaine, when willing, is one of the best of all bantamweights But it has been noticed in his eastern fights that if he receives & clip on the chin early In the game he falls behind the pace and loses. Conse- Quently, Villa will rush out with a determination to clip him on the chin and clip him first.
 Villa frequently fights better against larger men than against boys of his own tiny size. Fast bantamweights seem sluggish against the brown slugger and his swings shoot out from cover with the speed of frogs tongue.
