DARTMOUTH DETERMINED

Big Green Team Has Not Lost to Harvard Since the Game
 in 1929.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. o3 Pl- A Big Green threat from Dart mouth descended upon a Harvard eleven today with every intention Of making 1t four straight. Not since 1922, when the Crimson was victorious 12 to 3, have the Cam bridge gridiron warriors succeeded in prevailing against the wah who wahs from Hanover.
 Dartmouth rcigned favorite but it's defeat in the Yale bowl last Saturday while Harvard was trounc- ing William and Mary had a chas- tening effect on the Green packers. The same circumstances gave Har- ward hope, for last weeks victory saw q rejuvenated team in action after the Crimson had been hum- bled in two opening contests.
 The famous Dartmouth forward passing game that failed 10 ma tcrialize at New Haven last week was reported to be in readiness for today's test, while Harvard was ad mittedly weakened by the loss of Leo Daley. who had been regarded as the Crimson's most effective lineSman,

A COJOREJI FIGHTER

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 25.--tPl- Death claimed the "Windmill' of the prize ring yesterday. when Har- " Greb, of Pittsburg. former mid dleweight champion of the world, succumbed in an Atlantic City hos pital after an operation for broken bone in the nose.
 News of his sudden death stun ned, Pittsburg, for the boxer left here last Wednesday, claiming to be in good health, and expressing a de- sire to go into training for another siege in the ring. Greb, the only boxing champion ever turned out by this city was the idol of sports fol- lowers.
 Greb spent 13 years Of intense activity in the squared arena. Born 32 years ago In Pittsburg. Greb first donned the gloves as a prclim boy under James Red" Mason. During the war, he served as q naval boxing instructor,
 Greb barred none in his fight to the top. frequently giving more than 50 pound advantage to his orpon- ents.
 With the exception of Jack Dempsey, Greb fought practically every leading light heavyweight and heavyweight of the day. His peculiar style in the ring-constant bounc- ing and windmilling of his gloved fists-caused opponents no end of trouble. They could not fathom this fast moving athlete.
 Greb's only trouble was his dis like for the training grind ard his managers found 1t hard at times to keep him busy on the road and in the gym just prior to important battles.
 Greb is survived by a young daughter. Dorothy Mildred. his par onts and three sisters. His fortune was estimated by friends at about so00,00o.

ILLINOIS AND MICHIGAN KEYED UP FOR BIG GAME
lodaN's Sports Event of Big Ten Conference Being Held at
 Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 23 PA- Cleared up by bitter football rivalry of years standing, Illinois and Michigan awaited the opening whistle for the game which occupied the center of the gridiron stage of the country today. Both squads were declared primed for the con- fiict tho winner of which, there is q strong possibility may ultimately be crowned king of the western con- ference.
 Although expressing some con- ccrn over ills that have ovcrtaken some of his stars. Coach Robert Iuppke of Illinois promised the wolverines will be given "a fight they will remember" Members of tho Michigan team indicated they were determined to carry off honors and to seek atoncmcnt for tho crushing defeat at the hands Of the Illinois in 1924, inc last meeting of the teams.
 According to Huppke Ii is likely that only four veterans. Captain Kassoll, Rei'sch Shively and noughcrty will start today. The others, including Grahle, Knapp and nAmbrosio were reported on the sick list and it Is doubtful If they will get into the lineup.

10 TEAMS FIGHT
 IN CONFERENCES
Two Big Leagues" Of Western
 Colleges in Action

Chicago, Oct. 23 OP) - The bat fling of l6 teams in the two con- ference races, Drakes intcrsec- tional with Mississippi and Notre Dame's sortie into the Big Ten topped the crowded program of mid:western football that today marked the halfway point in the 1926 season.
 Michigan's big stadium was sold out long before the kick off with Illinois. NorthWesterns new stands turned away hundreds. It appeared that the count of the crowd at the Iowa-Ohio game would pass 50,00o, and that the throngs throughout the wid-west would approximate half a million.
 The Wolverines were favorites over Illinois in the main western conference game. In engagements also bearing on the Big Ten cham pionship, still far from decided. the boilermakerS were given odds over Chicago for the first time in years. Iowa was expected to go down gal lently before the Ohio that crushed Columbia week ago, and Wiscon- sin was rated better team than Indiana.
 Sharing attention with the Mich igan-Illinois game was the invasion of NOri hWestnrD by Knuto Poclypo and B players he regarded as the third of the Notre Dame squad most competent to down the Wild cats, so far brilliant streak across the Big Ten horizon. Minne- sota was at home to Wabash in the other non-conference tilt of the day.
 Mississipprs game with Drake drew a major share of interest to Des Moines, in one of the Missouri valleys two inter sectionals. Drake was regarded as q favorite. The Oklahoma Aggies were far from home for their encounter with Texas Christian university at Fort Worth.
 In the quartet Of Valley confer- ence games. Nebraska was a favor ite over Kansas, Missouri over Iowa State al Amos, and the Kansas Az gies over Oklahoma. and Washing ton Of St. Louis and Grinnell were gwen an even ranking.

HARRY CREE DIES AFTER
 UNDERGOING AN OPERATION
The Former Middleweight Champ Fails to Rally From Anaesthetic-Sur- geons Had Removed Small Bone SpIinters From Nose.

Atlantic City. N. J., Oct. 23 P,- Harry Greb, former middleweight champion of the world. died in a private sanitarium here yesterday afternoon following a minor opera ton for the removal of fractured bones from his nose, an injury suf- fered in an automobile accident two weeks ago at Pittsburgh.
 Death was due to cardiac trouble. aggravated by the combined shock of the operation and the accident, Dr. Charles S. McGirern. noted spe- ctalist who attended him, declared last evening.
 Greb. who had been a patient of Dr. McGivern for many months, un- derwent an operation for the remov- al of a cataract on his right eye about three weeks ago. Immedi- ately following. he returned 10 his home in Pittsburgh. In the auto mobile accident. in which his car plunged over an embankment the wound from the operation was open cd and he also sustained injuries about the nose. several bones being fractured. causing him to breathe improperly, He returned to Allan tic City. primarily to have his eye treated. Examination proved that his nasal passages had been entire ly blocked and as he wished to re- enter the ring, he decided upon the opertion for the removal of the fractured bones in his nose.
 The opeTn.:on was started un- der local anaestl1esia," said pr. Me Givcrn, and later during it's course this was supplemented by nitrous oxide and oxygen gas. He left the operating table apparently in good condition at S:30 last night. At ten o'clock this morning his heart be- gan to fail and rapidly grew weak despite the administration Of stimu lants until he died at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon"

PLAYING STRENGTH
 STILL IS ARGUED
Backers of Each League Will
 Have Their Say
fBy Billy Eyans,)

Discussion as to the relative merits of the two major leagues will con- tinue as long as baseball is played.
 The partisan National League rooter will offer you a score of req sons why the senior organization is the superior. The American League supporter will present just as many in rebuttal.
 As a matter of fact there is little or no difference between the playing strength of the two big leagues.
 One year it may seem as if the pendulum had swung slightly in fa- vor of the National. The next year it may appear as if the American has a scant edge.
 Since both leagues recruit the players from the same sources, 1t is easy 10 see why the standard should always remain much the same.
 Series Proof.
 Perhaps the last three world series offer the most convincing proof as 10 the equality of standards in the ma jors.
 In each instance the series went the limit, seven games, the winner being decided because of some lucky break rather than marked superior ity or play.
 In 1924, Washington beat the New York Giants because two balls bound ed over Third Baseman Lindstrom's head, just as he was about 10 make plays for what seemed certain outs.
 The following year faulty play by Peckinpaugh at short. coupled with the fact that the Washington fielders lost several fly balls in the murky atmosphere, sent Pittsburgh home the winner.
 In the series of this year, two er- TOTS at critical spot gave St. Louis three runs, just enough to win the deciding game by one-run margin.
 Each series was thrill to the very finish.

GR|D|RON
 GAMES NOT SNAPPY
But FeW Choice M0rSelS for the
 Fans Today

1 New York. Oct, 23 F>-Today' s football menu held but few choice morsels for eastern gridiron follow CTS.
 Although traditional rivalries were revealed in many conflicts, decisive victories were forecast by critics In h halfscore game involving major elevens. Navy. Dartmouth. Yale Columbia, Princeton, Army, New
 York University, Washington and Jefferson, West Virginia, and Penn sylvania. among others, ruled heavy favorltes. with early season results carrying strong indications of vic- tory.
 Absence of games between teams in the thick of the hunt for the mythical eastern championship di- verted major interest to Haryard's s desperate attempt 10 recover from the most disastrous start in gridiron history Signs Of steady improve ment have been apparent at Cam bridge in the last two weeks, but Crimson supporters held only dim hope that Horween's players Sould stop Dartmouth.
 Iale's confidence of readily sub duing Brown was slightly shaken to- day by the loss of Dwight Fish wick, brilliant end. The converted quarterback. who had big hand in the triumph Dartmouth last week, suffered a badly bruised knee which may keep him on the sidelines for two weeks. Lee Mallory, brother of former Yale captain, was expected to get Fishwick's assignment.
 A rcorganized Princeton team faced Lehigh, with Captain Johnny Davis in the lineup for the first time this season. Jake Slagle triple threat backficld star, will be absent, however
 : Pennsylvania and Army, powerful and unbeaten candidates for titular honors, anticipated no difficulties in disposing of Williams and Boston University, respectively, but a close struggle between two crippled teams loomed in the meeting of Penn State and Syracuse
 Navy, pointing for revenge next week against Michigan for the overwhelming defeat of 1925, ap- rarently held a distinct edge over Colgate. There was indication, how ever that the Midshipmen would be called upon to stop q daring over head barrage. Observers conse- quently looked upon the game as critical test Of Navy's defense for i the Michigan game.
 Three contests were spread before ;he fans of the metropolis, with Duke making its initial invasion of Gotham to oppose Columbia. New York University and Rutgers locking in their annual conflict. and Ford ham tangling with the moleskin- clad gladiators of Washington and Jefferson.
 In other games. Vest Virginia op- posed West Virginia Wesleyan. Pitts burgh faced Carngie Tech. Wesleyan locked with Amherst, and Holy Cross confronted Western Maryland.

 In all probability six big league ball clubs will have new leaders next season.
 Already three heads have fallen Mckechnie of Pittsburgh, Fletcher of Philadelphia and Sisler of St. Louis.
 It is a certainty that Lee Tohl will be let out at Boston. The fans de- mand a new deal because of the poor showing of the Red Sox.
