WEST INTERESTED IN ROCKNE'S TEAM
NOtTe Dame Is a Headline At-
 traction in Big Ten Circles

Chica 20, Oct. s LPl-A fair share of mid-western football interest in Saturdays games descended on the University Of Minnesota today with Knute Rockne and his 1926 Notre Dame machine.
 The renewal of traditional Mis- souri, Nebraska hostilities at Lincoln tomorrow draws Missouri valley at tention but an "S. R. O." over the 80 600 seats in Minnesota's stadium served as a straw to show the bent of Western Conference and general fancy.
 Notre Dame is a headline attrac- ton in itself and Rockne's first fall invasion of the Big Ten ranks makes the tilt the days classic.
 Some share of the spotlight flick cred on the rather elusive Christy Flanagan, Notre Dame back, who is hailed already as one of the years sensations.
 Otherwise. particular individual attention was drawn today to Hi nois' own aspirant to the place of Red Grange, Frosty" Peters. The Illini meet Butler, the game ap preaching the Minneapolis game In Big Ten interest, in that it is a cur tain raiser for the Illinois Iowa home coming classic next Saturday at Iowa City.
 The coming conference race also was reflected at Michigan where Yost is frankly making Saturdays contest with the Aggies an incident in preparation for Minnesota a week later. Wisconsin's varsity had 10 forget the Big Ten battle to think about Saturdays game with Kansas, where Coach Cappon has been pol ishing up an aerial game he studied under Little, when the Badger coach assisted at Michigan.
 Chicago's Maroons were concerned with the game Maryland brought in from the east, and Tndiana's field was shared with the invading Ken lucky wildcats.

WASHINGTON MEETS
 FALCONS SATURDAY
Series Is Likely to Be Finished
 When Teams Clash

Tomorrow afternoon at the Ken Isingten baseball grounds, the fifth game of the series between the Fal- cons and Kensington baseball teams will be played. The series at the present time stands with the Ken sington team leading with two wins to one for the Falcons.
 Tomorrows gauie is liable to fn- ish the series as the Kensington team is out to win if possible. The teams have locked horns in the greatest baseball struggle even seen in this city. Starting with the first game. the Falcons won II 10 when the Kensington team fell to pieces. Coming back strong in the second contest, Kensington with Farmer Bucholz on the mound, won out In a desperate struggle, 4 to 2. The third game was the sensation of this and many other seasons when the two teams came to grips in 19 in ming game which had to be called on account of darkness with the score at fall Then the fourth game came along and again the two teams went overtime with Kensing- ton winning out 1 to 0.
 Tomorrow's outcome depends solely as it has in the other games, on the pitching given either squad. Bucholz or Yale will occupy the mound for Kensington while Gin ger" Cleary will probably send them over for the Falcons.
 Kensington will try to wind up the series tomorrow afternoon while the Falcons will battle as hard as pos sible to stay in the running. The umpires for tomorrow's contest will be Herbie Sautter and Jimmy Maher. It was announced that Mike Lynch and Ripper" McKeon would do the honors in the game. but this was erroneous as the latter pair held the ropes in the last Faleon-Ken- sington game.
 The contest will be started promptly at 230 o'clock and returns from the world series will be given by radio at the field. The bus serv- ice which has been In vogue all sea- son long will be furnished again to- morrow for the accommodation of the fans.

southern garage owner Paschal has q habit of driving out long flies and such a blow at this stage would score Gehrig with the winning run.
 Paschal did the unexpected by hitting a short instead Of q long fly. l. went to center and with the Car dinai players well back, expecting a long drive, fell safe. Gehrig, of course, scored.
 Severeid hunted but 2 fast play by O'Farrell retired Lazzeri at third. Thevenow then claimed q place in the sun with a play so sensational that 1t was second only to Ruth's great catch. Pennock drove a hard hit ball directly over second base. It seemed that 1t would go into center field for a hit to score the fleet Paschal but Thevenow knocked the ball down, picked it up and. tossed to Horns by, forcing Severeid. This changed the method, but not the result of the game, and gave the customers
 
 The end came In the tenth. Koe- mig singled cleanly to start it. He ran to second on wild pitch and Ruth was passed to first. Meusel sacrificed with neatness and dis patch and Manager Hornshy elect ed to use strategy. He ordered Gehrig passed, in spite of the fact that the Yankee first basemap is a left hand hitter batting against a left hand pitcher to fill the bases and give a play at every base. With the bases full a double play was made the more likely and the necessity for touching a runner at the plate was removed. The plan failed because Lazzeri did not hit the ball on the ground. He drove long fly to Hafey, Koenig scoring under wraps and making it an all Pacific coast performance.
 The St. Louis fans saw their last game of the season proud of at least one achievement. They broke attendance records every day. More than 37.000 persons saw the first game here. The crowd the second day was over 3S,o00 and the Missourians yesterday packed well over 39,o00 into Sportsman's park.
 Douthit, Cardinal center fielder who was injured In a collision in Wednesdays game with Hafey when both were trying for Dugan's fly, is not expected 10 be able to play in tomorrow's game.
 Betting odds of to ? on the Yankees winning the series are be- ing offered here today while the Cardlnals are quoted at even money on tomorrow's game.
