railroads and traction companies.
These are made in variety Of
styles ranging from the regular

Teams Sweep On
 To Championship Leauing Victims

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Three groups of panting, steaming young men swept irresistibly toward the football championship of the east Saturday afternoon leaving Dart mouth, Penn State and the Army players sprawling in their wake, dazed, confused and defeated. The winning teams were Cornell, Syra- case and Yale. As the pinnacle in football Is a roomy tableland there is room for several teams at the stop. All three of these may rest claiming the championship and each claim justified by the records. Yale, Cornell and Syracuse will not meet so a direct test of their claims will not be possible. Indirect comparisons through the fall schedule but these will be made when each has played will be far-fetched and unreliable. Therefore, these three, at present are all abreast and all in front of the big field in the east.
 Cornell, strong team which usually plays rather inferior op- ponents. through whose fault it does not matter. won from Dartmouth, the green-sweatered squad from the snow country of northern New Hampshire, W HUI UGdt I1d1 V dIu Dy d AulHAlAde elits score week ago. The score was Cornell S2, Dartmouth z. If Dart mouth '. If Dartmouth had not won that victory over Harvard, Cornell would not be accorded any blinding glory for this days conquest. But to beat the team that beat Harvard was tall achievement and Cornell should now sweep on through anoth- CT season without defeat. Only Johns Hopkins. Columbia and Penn remain on Cornells schedule and they are not formidable, princeton, beaten by Notre Dame and tied by the Navy was able to beat Hopkins. Columbia has lost twice and been tied once even though Percy Haugton, late of Har- yard, has been coaching the New York players. Penn is the most diff cult opponent outstanding for Cornell but even Penn has been defeated. Yale Shows Up Strong.
 Yale began the season with the most dismal outlook in the big three. But the Blue downed the Army by the large score of 31 to 10 for the fifth victory of the season. Yale has not even been tied.
 Harvard like Princeton has been beaten once and tied once. Whereas beaten once and tied once.
 The quality of the Syracuse team was not established until Syracuse won from Penn State this time, 10 to in Syracuse. State had previously won from the Navy and had tied West Virginia so this winning meant more to Syracuse than all the previous vic- tories.

It was & great battle in Atlanta ir which the Crimson held the Golden Tornado scoreless. It was a com students and packers brought thou sands of dollars of 7point and 14- point money back from Georgia as a result. Alabama backers even conceded Tech a 14-point margin and 1t was not on bets, either Coach Wallace Wade has done wonders at Alabama with the Crimson machine this year. Making a mediocre start in winning a meagre 12 to victory over Union university the Alabama eleven has been steadily increasing in ability until Saturday they crowned their achievements up to date with their tie with Tech. The slow start of the team was due to the change of the coaching system weak during the first part of the season. However, the Wade system is now firmly installed and the Crimson Tide surges on in the Wade way. Before the end o< the season Dixie grid fans will see wonder ful machine at the Capstone while next year 'Bama is bound to be again in her old position at head of the southern elevens.
 Mississippi Aggies pulled a big surprise in Nashville by holding Vandy to a scoreless tie. Wander bilt had been considered by many as the strongest team in the south. Ger tainly her prospects were brightest at the start of the season. Now the matter of her supremacy has been plunged into doubt by the Maroon battle Saturday. The Aggies this year have a great team, but were not expected to come within IA or 21 points of victory in their clash ata Nashville.

TOUGHEST BATTLE OF YEAR IS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT
Nelson And Finley Are Both Seasoned BattIers Of 0p- posite Types

What is expected to be the tough est battle of the year will be staged Monday night at S:30 o'clock in the gymnasium of the Birmingham Ath- son meets Jimmy Finley in the squared ring. Nelson has yet to feel the rosined coat of the canvased floor for the 24foot square ring, and Jimmy Finley has sent many husky battlers to the canvas prone from one of his vicious swings. It will be the irresistible force meeting the immovable object tonight and hum dreds of curious fans will lay down their money to see the outcome.
 Secondary only on the bill. and primary with hundreds of local fans will be the scrap between John Me Ginty and Battling" Kelly, slated as semi-wind up and scheduled for eight rounds. McGinty has long want ed chance to show his stuff against worthy opponents. He has been win ming his bouts handily at the club and finally persuaded Matchmaker Dave Evans to put him on with great boxers, with the idea in view of trying him out for headliner ma terial in the Athletic clubs shows. Many of the local ringsiders who have seen McGinty's rise will watch time company.
 Vieing for an important place in the limelight along with the other two big attractions will be the 10- round wrestling match between Tom Lacey and Max Scho1der. This bat tie, too, is a hot ore and the two on their last appearance at the B. A. c. were greeted by an enthusiastic bunch of fight fans. The bout went 10 rounds to a draw and was one of the most furious ever seen in local ring.
 Another boxing bout that should cause & stir is the one between Earl Craddock and Petey Sarron. Grad dock won a sensational victory in his last appearance here by scoring a knockout after he had been beaten badly by his opponent He is a tough battler and will make the scrapping Petey a good opponent. The bout is for four rounds.
 Tommy Harrison and Jimmy Smith will stage four-round boxing melee that should be a good one. Harrison was beaten in his last bout here and Is out for revenge in the coming bat- tie.
 Both of the head1iners in the big bout have been in the city for two or three days and have been working out daily at the club. The two men are in good condition and both come here from recent fights which they won.
 The advance sale of seats has been heavy and indications are that the largest crowd of the year will wit- ness the bout.

 Aided only by a line that is pass ingly fair, and backfield compan- ions who can boast of no particular prowess, Grange beat Chicago, to 0, just as he defeated weaker teams earlier in the season.
