Chicago, Oct. 2S LP-The return from the injured list of three men who figured largely in the Maroons' successive triumphs over Florida and Maryland today brought promise that Ohio State may find heavy go- ing Saturday against a battered Chi cago.

WORKS ARMY SQUAD
 ID BEAT OLD Ell
Coach Jones Putting Players
 Through Stiff Drills Daily

West Point, New York, Oct. 2S.- The Army squad was sent through another hard two hour practice session yesterday afternoon, and at the end, Head Coach Jones an- nounced that he had practically concluded his hard work in prepa- ration for the Yale game at New Haven Saturday. He intends to have dummy scrimmage chiefly tomor- row, with probably few trial plays. The team and coaches will leave by train early Friday morning, going by way of New York city. They will arrive at Derby, Connecticut, about noon. and will be quartcred at the Clark hotel until time for the game.
 A light practice will be held in the Yale Bowl Friday afternoon.
 In the practice today Coach Jones again sent the men through the whole routine, devoting special em- phasis to kicking and forward pass drills Jones is far from feeling opti- mistic over these two phases of the Arny's game. He knows only too well that Yale will far exceed the cadet team in these two important branches Of the football game. The kicking by AIurrel and Hewitt was about the same. Some slight i'm provcmcnt was shown in the de- fcnsc against forward passes. Trap nell was used for q few moments in kicking drill and in signal drill, but was not allowed 10 do any strenuous work.
 The teams used in the half-hour's scrimmagc today, were the same as those of yesterday. The first team had Harding, Wilson, Cagle, and Hewitt in the backfield; Born and Harbold on ends; Sprague and Perry at tackles; schmidt and Hammack at guards; and Daly at center. The second team lined up with Murrel, O'Donnell, Gilbr"th, and Me"han in the backrield, Davidson and Brent nall on ends; Fletcher and Muse at tackles; Seeman and Lynch at guards: and Hall at center. Saunders, varsity tackle, is still nursing q bad shoulder.
 Jones did not pay much attention to tho scoring end of in" scrmmag", contcnting himself with pcrfecling the fine points of line play and of ;he hackrield interference. He de voted special attention. however, 10 the forward pass defense, which was certainly better than itwas yes tcrday.
 Detailed plans for the trip of the squad 10 New Haven, call for the A squad of 3S cadets, all the coaches, Major Syndcr, Doctor, and Frank Wandlc, trainer. to leave West Point at 7:40 q. m. Friday morning, ar irving at the Grand Central station at 9:lS. They will leave New York at 10:05, arriving at Derby, Con- necticut, at 12:O4 D. m. The team will be quartercd at the Clark hotel. A light practice will be held in the Bowl some time Friday afternoon.
 The team will leave New York immediately after the game, attend ing the Queen High" show in the evening. They will be quartered, as usual. al the Hotel Astor, leaving for West Point on the 11:S5 a. m. train Sunday, from the Grand Cen tral.

Sunday afternoon at Memorial field in Willow Brook park, the All New Britain football team will stack up against the strongest team it has met this season in the United States Submarine Base team of New Lon- don. The visitors will come to this city with squad of S6 men with only one thought in mind and that will be to cook New Britain and take the bacon home to the Whal- ing City.
 Lieutenant Mather. manager of the Sub-Base eleven, expressed the hope that New Britain would have it's strongest lineup on the field be- cause, he stated, this team was out to beat the local aggregation and he is willing to bet his shirt that the sailors will swab decks with the members of the Hardawer City out fit.
 The New London team. which has always been strong contender in the professional ranks. is stronger this year than ever. The eleven has been strengthened by the addition to the ranks of players of four of the former members of the United States Naval Academy team at An napois. The eleven has also had the benefit of experienced coaching and is a smoothly working outfit.
 The team played in Philadelphia against the Marine eleven of that city during the American Legion convention recently held there and the Sub-Base team won ont to il The Philly leathernecks have been heretofore known as the champion service outfit Of, the country and in beating them this season. the sail ors from New London have hoped into the favorite position for the titleholders' berth.
 Yesterday, the New Haven team trimmed the [. s. s. Florida eleven 10 the tune of 6 to in a gruelling fight. These two victories were scored over teams which have had the pick of servicemen in both the navy and marine corps.
 Manager Ed. Daley of the New Britain team received a wire from Thompson today stating that he would be with New Britain for the game on Sunday. He has been noti- fled that Red" Steudtner of Meri- den is laid up with tonsiltis and will probably not be able to play this Sunday.
 The New Britain team practicod last night and Coach Hayes put tre members of the squad through a stiff workout. He declares that tNe team will be in excellent shape for the game Sunday afternoon. The kickoff will take place at 2:So o'clock.

 10 NEW HAVENER
Rogers Representative in State Tourney Meets HammiII Tonight

Humphrey Muldowney, represent ing Rogers Billiard Academy in the state pocket billiard tournament struck a snag in New Haven last night when he met and was defeated by Kid" Coogan of the Congress Square Billiard Rooms in a state league match. The score of the nights play was 100 to GS in favor of the Elm City sharpshootcr.
 During the clash. Coogan man. aged to score high run of A while "Humph's" best run was for a string of IA. Both cueists started poorly but the New Haven man was the first 10 get going and he was uncanny in his leaves forcing the local boy to resort to safes to keep the match going as long as it did His big run of 4 came near the end of the match and was the straw that cracked what up 10 that time had been a fairly, evenly fought match.
 Tonight, Muldowney faces another IDHb II NuSloillfl dC INOStIS IcOiIlS on Church street when he meets Charles Hammill of Waterbury representing the Genlott Billiard Rooms of that city. Hammill is a former champ ion and rated as one of the best pocket billiard players in the entire state.
 Going back to last nights battle in New Haven, Coogan soon ran his score up to 59 to Muldowney's seven, Muldowney recuperated from a slump and started to bring his score up. but several bad breaks intervened in the New Havcners favor and Coogan's lead became so great that Muldowney was unable to overtake him although he shot a better game in the second half than Coogan did.
 Tonight's battle should be one that will be well worth seeing. Ham, mills artistry on the green baize is too well known to need much mention while the better they are the better Muldowney plays them. After last nights defeat, he feels that he has rid himself of all his poor shots and expects to give Ham, mill the battle of the season tonight. The match will be staged shortly after 8 o'clock.

NAVY GUARDING AGAINST
 PASSING OF MICHIGAN
Sailors Were Swamped Last Year Through BarTage of Forwards-More Life Needed in Yale Attack Harvard and Princeton Have Easy Picking This Week - Dartmouth Eleven in Crippled State - Pennsylvania Plans Great Attack For Illinois.

New York, Oct. 2S LP = Pig skins that pass overhead are com ing in for much attention this week on the chalked battle-ground Of the east.
 A lIght-.ipped Navy band, re- membering the 54 10 c slaughter at the hands of Michigan last year, is living in world of flying foot ball, that travel in both directions. Those incoming, mostly from the hands ot Benny Friedman" arc ticketed for the arms of "Renny Oosterbaan." Then Hamilton stands far back and losses a flood of passes in developing an attack to rival Michigan's famous Benny Benny combination.
 More life is needed in the Yale attack and rugged scrimmage is testing every man of promise to find the spark that will turn the fitful Ell attack into raging power against Army. The material is there, the coaches know. Bill Kline has left the Yale backfeld because of family illness. Army is tossing hosts of forwards in prac- tice, burnishing their smashing line attack. and hoping that from some where will come a kicker.
 Harvard and Princeton, on the Big Three, can experiment with overhead work this week, having little fear of Tufts and Swarth- more, respectively. The Crimson power is on the rise, Princeton is searching for the wrench in the machinery that looked so promis- ing at the seasons start, and their big clash is only a week and a half away. But the ineligibles beat the Harvard varsity 14 to 13 yesterday, using Princeton plays while Prince ton drilled on Harvard passes. There Is no scouting agreement there.
 A crippled Dartmouth varsity, more so now that Dooley's famous passing hand is too swollen for ac- tion, is watching substitutes drill for Brown, which gained new strength with the return of Hodge, powerful tackle. Dooley seems definitely lost to the Green for the Saturday engagement.
 Pennsylvania plans more than a hiIdar lo1 elbow pads for Illinois. The Red and Blue spent the last practice before leaving for Urbana working on an air attack. Charley Rogers, star of the cast. is still i'll at home, but will make the trip.
 Four other teams with intersec- tional rivals are switching to the air to develop warm greeting be- fitting of the hosts. Colgate has air bombs for Michigan State; West Virginia plans fireworks for Mis- souri, and Holy Cross will write on the sky with footballs for Dayton university. Boston college has a few tricks in store for West Vir- ginia Wesleyan.
 Lafayette, with Coach McCracken signed for two more years, is work ing overtime for Washington & Jefferson. Cornell drills until long after dark 10 match the aerial tutelage coming the way of Colum- bia In preparation for their meet Ing. Neither Penn State nor Syra- cuse are straining for the engage ments with George Washington and Johns Hopkins respectively. Pitts burgh has little to fear from West minister.
