ILLINOIS AND CHICAGO ARE
 CONZENDERS LN THE WEST
Each Team Is Undefeated, While Ohio, With But a Tie Against Her, Also Is in Hopeful Class.

Chicago, Nov. 4.--Western confer i ence title aspirations ranged from bouyant hope to black despair as six teams began working for Saturdays championship games and the four others for non conference opponents.
 Most optimistic of title contenders were Illinois, conqueror of Michigan and Iowa, and Chicago, victor over Purdue and Indiana and tied with Ohio. Chicago has been pointing for the Ilini here Saturday ever since the season began. Secret practice devoted to defensive plays calculat- ed 10 stop Red" Grange, 1llini ace, and hisc mates, Britton. Hall. Nell wain and Captain Rokusek, was the order of Coach Stagg of the Ma 'roons. Coach Zuppke prepared for , the grimmest opposition of the re- ,mainder of the season.
 Scarcely less hopeful of ultimate success was Ohio, undefeateI but tied in one championship contest as 1t arranged for its first meeting with Indiana since 1917. The lIoosiers, twice beaten. hope only to reduce the Buckeyes to their own station among the conference trailers. 1 While Northwestern and Michigan, both defeated once, had some hope of, eevating themselves in the title scramble. The Purple, back fin the list of conference winners after . two years lay-off, was determined to stay there, while Michigan hoped that continued victories might put
 her back in the title running, pro- |vided the leaders suffered defeats. ., Coach Rockne, of the non-confer- ence Notre Dame squad had several
 battered regulars and substitutes as a result of the Georgia Tech game
 as he started forming his battle lines for Wisconsin. Stuhldreher, qua rter-
 back, will be out of the Badger tilt
 with injuries Wisconsin started its
 second weeks training after lay
 off Saturday.
 Minnesota. Iowa and Purdue, vir-
 tually out of conference title con-
 sderation. planned only perfnnctory practice for Ames, Butler and De-
 pauw. respectively. while they kept
 in mind coming conference con- . tests

The two did not meet from 1897 10 1910, and there were no contests during the World war. Harvard won five straight from Princeton, win ming in 1912, 1913, 1914 and 191b, which was the last Harvard victory.

REAL CHALLENGERS
 COMING ID FRONT
Matches This Week Will Develop
 Something

New York, Nov 1.-The heads of inactive wearcrs of pugilistic crowns will lie uneasy this week. as strong rivals peer into the throne rooms on their way to battle for the right to challenge.
 The most seriously threatened will be Benny Leonard, ruler Of the lightweights for many years. On Friday night at Madison Square Garden Sammy Mandell. Of Rock ford, will meet Jack Bernstein, of Yonkers, for the third time. The winner of this bout will be matched with the victor in the Sid Ferris Luis Vicentini fight arranged for November 2S.
 The ultimate winner of the infor- mai tournament will emerge as the logical challenger to Leonard, and, in the opinion of many critics here will probably be the next champion. IThere are doubts of the ability ot |Leonard to make the lightweight limit again and a conviction that he will be beaten if he does.
 vincentini is the hitter, Ferris the flash. Mandell, the best rounded lighter. and Bernstein the veteran of the chalengers. Mandell and Ter ris are favored to meet in the final.
 Among the fyweights, with Cham pion Pancho Villa forced into semi- retirement by an edict of the state athletic commission. Al Brown, wiry Panamanian. will make his downtown" debut in New York next week against Tommy Milton |. The two lads arc regarded as the best of the fywcight aspirants.
 Brown is a hitter and if brought along slowly, looks, to the majority of sport writers here as potentia , champion. He will probably he matched with Frankie Genaro If ht , defeats Milton.
 The third threat, though yet vague i, is to Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, now in New York fight
 ing the footlights." Sully Mont , gomery, former Centre college foot
 ball player, will meet Quintin Ro mero, Chilean slugger, in the mail n bout of a heavyweight tournamen
 at the Garden Wednesday evening Pat Lester and Tony Tuente, coas : sensations, will be brought alon i, tlater to meet the winners of tn tournament.
 The much discussed match be
 tween Romero and Luis Firpo ma A become a possibility before Januar :. 1 if Romero survives his tests up [ " that time and assuming that Tirp s defeats Charlie Weinert in thei 4 Newark battle November 1?.
 Harry Wills, crown prince of tn e heavyweight realm, is due back i o town this week after long vacatio
 following his victory over Firpo.

(Ey Billy Eyans)

Does football jinx the college baseball star?
 Major league scouts are just about | convinced that such is the case, ! If d scout is favorably impressed by a certain college ball player, he at once makes inquires as to whether he plays football. An affirmative reply immediately l causes him to lost much interest in i said athlete.
 Only limited few of the college athletes who have starred on the gridiron as well as the diamond have made good in big league ball.
 It seems that football takes some thing out of the athlete as a ball player. The grid game has ten- dency to slow him up in more ways than one.
 Football Injuries Costly p The chance of injury is also great. Many college players come to the majors bearing the marks of their football careers. Often these in- juries make ordinary players out of men who might have starred. Castner one of the greatest ath- lctos ever turned out at No're Dame, failed as a big league pitcher with the Chicago White SoX.
 Only q year ago in talking with Coach Rockne of Notre Dame he paid tribute to Castner.
 He was as great an athlete as George Gipp, who l regard as the best man l ever coached, but lacked Cipp's staying power. Castner was brittle, Gipp an iron man. Many Grid Stars Fail
 Castncr great college pitcher, never had a chance as big lcagucr He pitched as if shoulder r-bound nc doubt the penalty of football ln- juries.
 Michigan's last two cent"rs wore Ernie Wick and Jack Blott, both ro' markable players, All-Amorica SC ' lections.

BASEBALL ABROAD,

Billy Evans Discusses It, Also
 Freak Football Plays
(By Billy Fvansl

Val Pic!nich, catcher of the Bos- ton Red sox, has q sense of humor.
 plclnich is with the Chicago White Sox on the European jaunt now being made by two big league teams.
 Just before the departure for for eign lands several of picnich's teammates were kidding about the reception they would get abroad.
 "All that I am worrying about IS what will happen in Dublin when Cycngr0s is announced as the pitcher and Ptcinich as the catcher.
 T am afraid those two names will be enough to start riot in Ireland "
 If Picinch could have looked into the future he would have had no reason to fear the Dublin reception.
 Just 2o people paid to see the game in Dublin between the Giants and the White SoX,
 There was no riot but had there been. the players would have had the spectators outnumbered almost two to one.
 The rest of the Ireland itinerary | has been cancelled. The tourists took the first train after the game for London.
 The longest football run in the present season won't get a place in the record book.
 , Before the ball was officially downed it had travelled a distance of l5S yards and was in possession of the team other than the one that started the play.
 Eddie Green sub quarter on the Southern California eleven, caught q kick-o about 15 yards back of his own goal line. He started to touch it down, then changed his mind.
 Instead of making a touchback Of the play, he ran 1t out. The oppo' stion. bewidered at the audacity ot the situation, failed to put up much of defenso.
 Green was finally tackled from behind on the enemys two-yarG line After running l15 yards, ht fumbied the ball when tackles.
 An opposing player recovered 1 and ran the ball back to his team 45-yard line, almost the spot wher' the kickoff took place.
 Much wasted effort by Green.
 Furnbns are perhaps the mos dangerous feature of gridiron play . One tumble often spoils score Q
 brilliant plays that preceded it.
