ing touches for their thirtieth an
nual football game at the Polo
Grounds Saturday. There was no

pasteboardS which have drifted
into the hands of spectators are
quoted at $50 each.
The Army is a 2 to l favorite in
the early betting, but these odds are
expected to shorten when the Mid

day.
The Navy hasn't done so well this
year, but there is no telling what
the Navy may do in this battle for

eleven, but thus far this season the

On paper, Army with its victory

Wabash College and De Paw
University football teams, ancient
rivals of Butler University, will moi
appear on the Butler football caro-
in 1923, according to an announce
ment made by George "Potsy'
Clark, athletic director at the Irv-
ington school, today. Clark made
the startling revelation after re-
turning from Charlottesville, where
he met with w. L. Hughes, athletic
director at De PAW, and Harry
Scholler, director of athletics Of
Wabash, Monday night.
Clark, in commenting on the diff
ferenceS, stated that Scholler de-
manded that Butler play in Craw-
louisville next year or there would
be no game, and also play home anc
home games thereafter. Hughes
offered to come to Butler next year
but said Butler would have to play
at Greencastle in 1929, thereby
effecting what is called a round
robin arrangement among the three
schools.
On this arrangement Clark said
he offered to play home-and-home
for a guarantee of $4,000 with priv
ilege of so per cent of the gate. This
proposition was refused by both
Hughes and Scholler, Clark said
Another proposal that Butler play
at Wabash for $500 next year and
Wabash play here in 1929 for the
same amount also was refused by
Scholler, Clark said, the Wabash
director stating the financial end
did not enter into the affair.
1--WE take the stand that collegiate
athletics are not to be played on the
commercial basis and our student
body and townSpeople feel that they
have made just as many trips to
Indianapolis as they should to see
the Wabash-Butler teams in action.
Charlottesville merchants are de-
handing that we play one big game
here each year, preferably Butler
and De PAW alternately. The way
we have been playing, with prac-
Clcally all our games away, Is HOC
doing justice to anybody, team, stu
dents and others.
"From the financial standpoint,
Wabash has played in Indianapolis
on a guarantee of $500 and a
privilege of SO per cent and we
have offered the same terms to
Butler. Athletic Director Clark
mentioned the $4,000 arrangement,
but did not state it definitely. We
would not accept it anyway.
Insofar as we are concerned, the
annual Butler Wabash game is of,
and we have not a thing more to
say"
Athletic Director Hughes of De
Pauw was not ready to discuss the
question this morning, but Green
castle officials let it be known
there would be a statement later in
the day.
Clark said he always has felt
that the location of a football game
had little to do with the outcome.
He pointed out the times Illinois has
defeated Ohio at Columbus, Ohio,

Southern CALIFORNIA; Crack
Eleven Has impressive
Scoring Record.
LEADER IS PHENoM
Morley Rated Coasts Best;
Williams Injured.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.-The
University of Southern California
team, outstanding eleven on the Pa
cific Coast, departs tonight for Chi
cago to battle with the strong Irish
eleven of Notre Dame at Soldiers
Field next Saturday.
Leading the laundering Herd Is
Capt. Morley Drury, credited as
the fastest and shiftiest player of
the Far West.
Best In History
The Red and Gold team is the
strongest in the history of the in
stitution. For the 10000 fans who
jam Soldiers Stadium, Drury will
center their interest in the western
team.
Southern California presents an
essentially offensive team, and
Coach Howard Jones, brother Of
Tad Jones Of Yale, has built his
power plays around the bulk Of '"The
Drury."
Drury stands almost six feet. He
scales 100 pounds. And he COM
bines this height and weight with
speed and peculiar hip motion.
The combination permitted him to
gain 203 yards from scrimmage in
the California game and to total
les yards against Stanford.
AlI-American Type
He is the sparkplug of an eleven
which has scored two or more touch
downs in every contest during the
past two seasons. He is the coasts
bid for all-American honors and the
coasts hope for a victory over Notre
Dame.
Trojans eyes will be facing east,
flashing determination, but their
thoughts are bound to travel back
now and then TO the hospital cot
in Los Angeles where Don williams,
the never-failing back field star,
lies with a back injury that may
mean that his grid days are over.
Williams was injured in, the final
quarter of the Washington State
game Saturday after he contributed
his usual sensations, including a
run of seyehty-one yards for a
touchdown.
Williams IS a junior and was
rated as the probable 1928 captain.
Full Back Records
To overcome the Williams ca
lamity came the announcement that
Edelson, full back, probably would
be back Saturday after three weeks
absence with injuries.
The Trojans are worrying about
only two things-the condition Of
Williams and the weather. They
expect to beat Notre Dame if the
wintry blasts are not too strong in
Chicago.
The Californians are well posted
on the Irish methods for they have
had Notre Dame secuted since the
Georgia Tech game. In other words
the TrojanS are posted on every
thing Coach Rockne used against
Tech, Minnesota, Army and Drake.
