Dixie Grid Season Closes
 With FlOrida-W. &L. Scrap
Gators To Face Generals With Regular Line-Up.
 Has Bearing On Title

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Dec. B. Especial. )-The University of Florida fightin Gators will bring to fitful, close the 1924 grid season when the Orange clad warriors will clash with the Washington and Lee eleven in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon in the final southern grid battle.
 The Gators, in facing the Generals from Lexington, will meet most pow erful enemy, an eleven which has won five southern conference games, team which battled strong Penn State grid machine to tie. Throughout the past season the Washington and Lee ma chine battled brilliantly against every foe on its schedule and the only de- feat on its otherwise perfect record was the 10 to beating at the hands of the Wake Forest teahh in early season.
 The Gators whaled unmercifully the Wake Forest gridders in Tampa to the tune of 34 to o, but this season has brought out the fact that scores can not be depended on for pre-game dope and thus the Florida fans need not take the comparing scores too .seri- ously. It is 70 De remembered that Florida dropped a game to Mercer by the score of 10 to 0, which is prac- tically the same as the Generals losing to Wake Forest:

NOTRE DAME TO
 BATTLE ILLINOIS
Game Almost Assured
 'Bama Tried To Sched- ule Zuppkes
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-A game be- tween Illinois and Notre Dame for which midwest gridiron fans have been clamoring for years, will be played next fall in Illinois new memorial stad- ium, seating 67,O0O spectators, if coaches of the rival elevens can rear range their tentative schedules when the western conference schedule makers meet tomorrow to draft the 1925 grid iron program.
 The acceptance of Knute Rockne, fa- nous coach on the undefeated Notre Dame team, to the challenge for a game issued by Robert c. Zuppke, coach of the Illini, was the outstanding de- velopment of preliminary scrimmages today of the two-day meeting of the Big Ten" coaches, athletic directors and faculty representatives. The game, if scheduled will be played in Champaign on October 10, a week after Illinois opens its season against Nebraska.
 Probably On October 10
 Rockne, according to Coach Zuppke, was asked for game in Philadelphia recently but the Notre Dame mentor, Zuppke asserted was evasive and re- fused to commit himself, when the two coaches met in the hotel lobby today, Zuppke reminded Rockne of the chal- lenge. Rockne promptly asserted he knew nothing of such defy but after deliberating, announced that he had de- cided to accept the October 10 date which Zuppke offered.
 Zuppke announced that Illinois and Minnesota would not meet next fall but said the failure to arrange game had no connection with the result of this seasons contest, which resulted in the defeat of Illinois and the injury to Harold Red" Grange, famous H. Iionis halfback. Zuppke said with Pennsylvania and Nebraska and pos sibly Notre Dame on the Illini sched- ule for 1925, the arrangement to play Minnesota could not be continued.
 Ohio State joined the list of Big Ten teams to play east-west inter sectional contests next season by sched- uling game with Columbia. Michigan will play the Navy while both Illinois and Chicago play Pennsylvania, and the MdToOHS dISO VIII pIuS bhI thhOuIh' W 10 consin also expects to close a game with Dartmouth
 Illinois Plays Chicago
 All rumors of possible break in relations between Illinois and Chicago were settled with the announcement that a game between the MarOons and Coach Zuppke's warriors probably will be scheduled for Champaign on NOvem- Der [.
 Centre college and Alabama wanted games with Illinois but Zuppke was un- able to accommodate them.
 The annual game between Notre Dame and Nebraska will be played in Lincoln on Thanksgiving Day. Fred l Dawson, the Nebraska coach and di- rector of Athletics, closed the agree ment with Coach Rockne and also fig ured on the possibility of meeting Iowa next season and perhaps Wisconsin.

This feat was tied when Alex Papka of Middlebury threw a pass 40 yards to Walter Patton who ran 50 yards through Tufts to score.
 The longest runs with an intercepted pass were made by Ernest c. Cadigan of Amherst, who caught a Hamilton aerial and raced 9S yards to score and Charles T. Hughes of Kentucky, who duplicated the feat against Ala bama.
 Bomar Stands Out
 Two players also shared the distinc- tion of making the longest runs for touchdown after picking up fumbles, Gale Bullman of West Virginia Wes- leyan running 94 yards against Syracuse and Lynn Bomar of Vanderbilt covering the same distance on a similar play against Quantico Marines.
 The longest scoring run with a blocked kick was only % yards, the records show, this distinction going to Benjamin Soule of Colby, who beat Trinity with two of these plays.
 Field Goals
 Cataloguing the field goal achieve ments, MT. Davis finds that Donald H. Rutherford of Virinia Polytechnic leads with the longest goal, drop kick of 52 yards against Maryland. Ernest E. Williams of Auburn leads the place kickers with drive of 50 yards against Clemson.
 John F. Mcbride of Syracuse, who conquered Columbia "single footed" with three field goals, sent eleven kicks altogether through the cross bars for the highest total of any performer. All were from placement. Ralph Baker of Northwestern and Pat Dawson of Be- lott led the drop kickers with seven each. Two players, both drop kickers, gained the honor of kicking four goals in a single game, a seasons record. Dawson performed the feat against Car Teton and Edgar w. Garbisch, Army captain, sank the Navy with a duplicate performance.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The 1924 football season was replete with bril- liant individual scoring achievements, according to an elaborate compilation of records from 250 college and univer- sities in various parts Of the country made by Parke H. Davis of Easton, Pa, noted gridiron authority and sta tistician.
 Record runs, passes and kicks for the season, which has closed with the ex- ception of few Pacific coast intersec- tional games, are included in the array of performances listed by Dr. Davis.
 The rarest of scoring plays, the run back of kick off for touchdown, was achieved only 12 times this fall, accord Ing. to the compilation, which shows that the honor of reeling off the longest run fell to two players. Ernest B. Maclane of Wesleyan, dashed 100 yards against the Massachusetts Aggies, and John M Brown of Alabama, covered the same distance, the full length of the gridiron, in a game against Ken lucky State.
 Punts Returned
 Of approximately 10000 punts during the season, only 25 were run back for touchdowns, the list reveals, and again two players tie for the longest dis tance covered. Louis B.. Massinkoff of Galladuet college returned punt 90 yards for a touchdown against Drexel and William Bone of Tennessee du- plicated the feat against Emory and Henry.
 Long scoring runs from scrimmaoge were usually abundant with Henry M. Benkert of Rutgers, the casts high scorer, setting the pace with an SS- yard through Lebanon Valley. David Rosenfeld of Alabama raced only three yards less to score against Mississippi. For consistent brilliance in this respect, however, the palm is awarded to Harold (Red) Grange of Illinois, with runs of 80, 65, 55, 50 and 45 yards; Eddie Tryon of Colgate, with runs of 60, 55, and 50; John M. Brown of Alabama with dashes of S3, so, 5S and AS yards; and Rosenfeld, who besides his S5-yard dash hung up other advances of S2, 76 and 59 yards.
