FOR SUNDAY BATTLE

Drilled to the minute, the foot ball
teams Of hte Mohawk and Mercury
clubs will clash Sunday in Griffith

ing.
Although the unlimited sandlot
gridiron title will not be decided by
the rivals, it is highly essential for
each team to win TO figure in the
title-running.
A trouncing for the Mohawks would
blast their title aspirations, as the
team already has met defeat at the
hands of the Geoknicks. who have a
fine chance Of grabbing this years
award. The latter combination will
tackle Mercury on December "A in
the deciding match.
While the best the Alohawks can
expect is to share the laureIs with
either the Geoknicks or Mercury, the
aforementioned eleven has a splendid
opportunity to grab the title. Should
the winged foot aggregation lower the
colors Of both the Mohawks and the
Geoknicks, its claim Will be undis-
puted.

Burton Shipley has much good talent

inaueurating the sixth with a bad
drive topped my BALI suddenly
got going in great shape. Following
the topped drive I laid a long iron
on the green in and hored a 30
foot putt for birdie three.
Before my luck ran out I had
run of eight successive threes. When
l give you the distance for each hole
you'll agree that things certainly
were breaking nicely for me. 1t
was: Sixth hole. so yards: seventh,

My iron clubs did the work for
me. l was laying the bail dead to
the pin on every green. Six Of these
eight holes I won and the match was
now much more even.
Torrance holed threes on the four
teenth and fifteenth. but on the six
teenth, he got a topped drive and
it ran him into trouble.
The sixteenth hole at PitIochry is
slightly dogleg. The fairway bends
around a clump of trees. AS it is
$50 yards from tee to cup, the drive
is generally made over these trees. If
the ball is true it will reach the
fairway beyond in position for an
easy pitch. But a topped ball means
descent into rusheS and long grass

to your troubles. That was where
Torrance landed AS he was / up at

This chance was improved when

straight over the trees and certain
to end up near the. green. Did ]
say certain? Well hardly. Halfway
between the clump OF trees and the
green was a cliff. or ledge, running
obliquely into the fairway. Sitting
on the edge of the ledge was a young
boy totally unconscious of the fact
that my ball was bound in his direc-
ton. 1t rolled up, hit him, bounced
n little to one side and came to a
rest on the very edge Of the ledge.
If the ball had not been obstructed
it would have gone on to a beauti-

unplayable and so yards from the pin

ARMY-kAVY TO PLAY

agenent after consultation with Brig.
Gen. Fred W. Sladen, superintendent
of the Military Academy, and other
West Point authorities The date
November IS. will place the service
game a week later than the Yale
Harvard classic.
There was a spirited contest be-
tween the Polo Grounds and the
Yankee Stadium for the service
game. The American League club
was able to offer u larger seating ca
pacity, only slightly less than that
of the Baltimore Stadium, where the
game was held last Saturday, but
despite this. the Army officials decided
in favor of the Polo Grounds. where
the game has been played in alternate
years in the past.
1t was the Army's turn to select the
battle-ground this year. and the choice
of New York did not arouse any sur
prise.
The Army eleven will play two and
probably three games in New York
next year Besides the Navy game,

opposition to a fourth contest abroad.
If the Notre Dame game is not staged

FOOT BALL GROWING
AT ASTOUNDING GAIT

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 3.-The
frontiers of foot ball, propelled by
increasing popularity, are limited
now only by the Nations natural
boundaries.
Analysis of attendance figures from
all parts of the country for the
1924 season, witnessing the greatest
growth of any year in Gridiron his
tory. shows that the East, original
stronghold of the game, no longer
has monopoly on popular interest
which has spread with astonishing
rapidity through the West and South.
The Pacific Coast sector, where
500. 900 altogether saw four confer
ence championship races, furnishes
a startling item of proof of the
games growth.
Altogether, estimates place the
total attendance for college games
at 100000, figure which appears
conservative in the light of the def
lite fact that more than 100000
>lone saw 10 of the country's out
