Galaxy Of Football Contests
to Be Presented Thanks
giving Day.
WEEKEND FEATURES
Army-Navy, N. D. Vs.
Southern California.
BY NORMAN E. IsAACs

Football is not yet ready to relin-
quish its hold on the center of the
sport page and although the equi-
librium of the gridiron pastime is
not what it should be after topsy-
tury season of upset after upset, the
sport monarchs are preparing to
hand out one of the greatest weeks
of "pigskin" pastiming.
A galaxy of pleasing conflicts over
the chalk marks will be presented
in various parts of the land on
Thursday, Thanksgiving day, and
another batch Saturday virtually
will put the lid on one Of the most
exciting football seasons in recent
years.
The East and South boast the
majority Of important games
Thanksgiving. On the Atlantic sea-
board O quartet of tits is exciting
the attention of followers in that
section. They are Penn State and
Pittsburgh, Cornell and Pennsyl-
vania, Colgate and Brown and SYRIA
cuse and Columbia, all more or less
features from the ancient rivalry
standpoint.
Georgia VS.. Alabama
The Georgia. Alabama engage
ment is the outstanding fray in the
Southland. Others are Tennessee at
Kentucky, Alabama Poly at Georgia
Tech, Southern Methodist at Texas
Christian, and Washington and JET
ferson at West Virginia.
One of the big intersectional af-
fairs of the day will be staged IN
the Missouri Valley where New York
University and Nebraska meet.
Another Valley contest, Oklahoma
at Missouri, also is drawing its share
of attention.
James Millikin and Bradley Tech,
secondary mid-western elevens VIII
provide some action for Illinois fans
while the Oregon and Washington
meeting is the only coast game
worthy of note.
Thrills on Saturday
Saturday will provide all the
thrills and action the most ardent
gridiron fan could desire. Knute
Rockne's Notre Dame squad is to
tangle with the University of South
ern California Trojans at Soldiers
Field, Chicago, before 10000 per-
sons, while the annual service clash
between Army and Navy will be en-
acted at the Polo Grounds, New
York.
This pair of conflicts will form the
main jamborees of the week. Other
games Saturday bring together Holy
Cross and Boston College in the
East and Santa Clara and st.
Marys in the West. A third fray,
between Carnegie Tech and Oregon
Aggies, will provide more intersec-
tional interest.

Wabash ended up hectic season
with victory over its ancient rivals,
the De Paw Tigers, Is to z. After
playing a scoreless first quarter and
most of the second, long heave
of forty yards, Bayer to Thornburg,
was good for a Wabash touchdown.
Bayer kicked the point giving the
Scarlet to 0 edge at the half.
In the third period, De Pauw
made brilliant drive of sixty
yards with Scott, Blake and Bran
denburg carrying the ball. Brandon
burg skirted end for a touchdown
and Anderson booted the extra and
tying point. After the Tigers had
halted two Wabash drives inside
the 5-yard zone in the last period,

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Up in
New Haven there was JOY today, for
the Big Blue team has had sea-
son marred by only one defeat
and that, to the Yale way of think

1t was one of the most success
full seasons in years for the Eli and
marked a close, according to an

staff.
Saturday found many interesting
games in the East and few upsets.
New York University swamped Ale
gheny, 81 to 0, and started west to
meet Nebraska Thanksgiving day.
Brown won its first game since
early season, 81 to Is, over New
Hampshire: Temple flashed to a 49,

Navy and Army both won easy

strength for the service game in
New York Saturday-the GROWING
point of the eastern season.

WEIGH punted out of bounds at
the ten-yard line. After Indiana
was hurled for losses on line plays,
Balay stood behind his goal line to
punt. The ball scared high, but
not far. With but twenty yards to
go, WEIGH did the most Of the
plunging, and in four plays scored.
Caraway again booted the extra
point. With the score standing 14-6
and the last quarter rapidly pass

was in only a minute when he was
injured and carried from the field.
WEIGH opened up with passing
attack. When an Indian half back
hit the ball toward the ground he
batted it into Harmeson's hands.
He ran forty yards to the goal.

1t is not many coaches that had a

consideration, was injured.
Wilcox injured his knee last week

CHANGED FIGHT OF LINE

BALANCING over the list of
players in the Princeton
squad who were eligible for
the Yale game, I find the names of
fifteen SophomoreS and as many
juniors.
While Princeton was far from
a one-man team, as a matter of
fact the Tiger lineup was one of
the best alI-around combinations
I have seen this year, it seems to
me that the moment Center Howe
passed from the gridiron, the
Princeton line lost much Of its
power.
Until he was forced out because
of injuries with about IL minutes
to play, Howe held his own, de-
spite the fact Charlesworth was
pressing every minute. Fatigue
more than injuries finally forced
Coach Roper to withdraw Howe
from the game.
How he hated to go. He fought
off five or six Tigers who sought
to induce him to depart from the
field and it was not until the
officials stepped into the picture
that he consented to go.
