Cadets of West Point Enter Service
Struggle; Big Favorite Over Middies
Army-Navy Tilt Fills Polo Grounds; Many NotabIeS in
Throng; SCaperS Ask SIS to $500.

by three touchdowns to win, the
Navy eleven was thrown in against
powerful Army team here today
in the annual inter-service classic
and the ornamental finale of the
Eastern football season.
Some $4,000 persons, including
high hats from Washington and
the service. were to view the
struggle. The average public had a
slim chance.
The ticket office of the New York
Giants. owners of the. Polo
Ground where the Cadets and the
Midshipmen were to do or die" for
dear old Army and dear old Navy,
estimated that they could have sold
triple the amount of ticket seats
available.
ScalperS Operate
Ticket spectators, also, gave their
word that they could have sold a
few good seats around the fifty
yard line and as for proof they
were asking SIS and 500 for a few
locations near generals box.
The list of ticket holders included
practically all of the notables from
the military, professional and social
elect of New York, Washington,
Philadelphia and nearby cities.
President, Coolidge was unable to
attend.
The Army was a five to three
favorite in the betting and some Of
the second lieutenants who did not
want to take an undue advantage
of an ensign we're offering even
money that the Cadets would win
by two touchdowpS.
Great Army Record
Having beaten Notre Dame and
having lost to a great Yale team by
the mere matter of twelve inches
that prevented a touchdown, the
Army was justified in the position
of heavy favorite because the Navy
was beaten by Notre Dame and was
also downed by Michigan.
From the headquarters of the two
teams the word was sent this morn
ing that all the players we're in per-
feet condition. The players worked
out Friday on the Polo Grounds and
the Cadet and Midshipmen rooters
from the academies arrived this
morning.
The day dawned slightly over
cast and cold with indications of
good playing weather at game time.

Verdict Over
Ex-Chanpion
Walker Gets Judges Deci-
sion in 10 Rounds
With Paul.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Mickey
Walker, middleweight champion of
the world, has hurdled the second
obstacle in his path to the light
heavyweight championship.
Walker won a judges decision
over Pau. Berlenbach, former light
heavyweight champion in a ten
round bout here Friday night before
5000 fight followers who paid $751;
600 to see the match. 1t was Mick
ey's second showing here against a
light heavyweight. A fortnight ago
he knocked out Mike McTigue, an
other former light heavy title
holder, In one round.
Walker was not able to dispose of
Berlenbach in the same manner, al
though he had him on the canvas
in the second and fourth rounds.
Walker maintained an edge
throughout the entire bout, winning
eight rounds, while the first and
third were even.
The first time Berlenbach went
down was partially the result OF a
slip, and partly due to a Walker
right. The fourth round knockdown
also saw Berlenbach coming up
without a count, after Mickey had
pumped barrage of wallops to the
head and body with both hands,
Walker weighed 161 pounds, while
Berlenbach tipped the scales
at 1731a.
In the ten-round semi-wind-up
Tommy Freeman of Cleveland, Ohio
easily outpointed My Sullivan OF st

Classic at Chicago
PROBABLE STARTING LINEUPs
BY FRANK GETTY


CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The Irish of
Notre Dame, not an undefeated
football team, but recognized as one
of the best in the country, entered
the years most important intersec-
tional game against the University
of Southern California today, Sorely
handicapped.
Johnny Neimiec, the one and only
consistent kicker of Knute Rockne's
numerous elevens, was unable to
play, the Notre Dame coach in
formed the United Press this morn
ing, and just that margin of differ
ence swayed the balance in favor
Of the TrojanS from the Far West
Despite the prestige of the west
ernerS, the far-famed ability of
Capt. "Dreary" Drury and the gen.
eral excellence of the weighty Cali
fornia line, the Irish had ruled IA
vorites at odds varying from to
to 8 to 5.
Definite Statement
Then came the definite an
nouncement Neimiec, who all season
has played somewhat secondary
role to the mighty Christy
Flanagan, but rated by critics the
equal if not the superior of the
young Texas, would be unable tc
play.
Without a reliable kicker, in a
season where the trend of gridiror
play has revolved so closely around
an advantage in this department
Notre Dame viewed with little
optimism the prospect of the days
encounter
The Trojans, playing in the
Middle West for the first time
survived the long train trip ir
splendid fashion. Climatic con-
ditions promised to be mild, with
none of the severe, stormy weather
which Howard Jones men reason
ably might have counted upon.
California Favored
Captain Drury, Jesse Hibbs ano
the other outstanding stars of the
California team were at their best
The prestige of Pacific, Coast foot
ball appeared safe in their hands
Furnishing Chicago with q
colorful sports pageant rivalling the
Army-Navy game in New York, the
game also furnished the city with
the largest collegiate football
throng in history.
Having drawn 10000 spectators to
the Army Navy game here a year
ago, and 100000 to the, Dempsey
Tunney fight. the stadium out by
the lake front added to its laurels
today by enclosing more than
Ill 900 football fans.

MAYS WON ARGUMENT

MAYBE it was purely accidental,
1V1 perhaps Mays didn't have his
usual amount of stuff on the ball,
but regardless, the first pitch made
Armour one up with his drive into
the right field stands for a home
run.
The next pitch Armour missed
and he missed exactly twenty-five
in row, without making so much as
even foul before deciding that he
had enough, that he was all wrong
about it being easier to hit base
ball than a golf ball.
1 might add that the ball player
who had never played golf, made a
much better showing than did Ar
mour, even though he did break two
golf clubs in taking his twenty five
swings.
However, there are lot of ball
players who still insist it is far
easier to accurately hit baseball
than connect With-the much smaller
golf pill.
After all, it is every one to his
own game. Tommy Armour makes
the hitting of a golf ball look
easy, but no softer than Ty Cobb
makes it appear to connect with
baseball.

TEST IN HITTING BALLS

nITCHER CARL MAYS OF the
L Cincinnati Reds told me the
story of the test and the result. The
players and golfers met at the Polo
Grounds to decide the issue. Armour
was to do the batting against the
pitching of Carl Mays. He had in
sisted it was no great trick to hit
the big league pitching.
Armour tried out about fifty bats
before he got one that suited his
fancy as to size and weight. In the
meantime, Mays was slowly warm
ing up for the test.
When Mays announced he was
all set for the experiment, Armour
stepped into the batter's box. Ar
mour had made up his mind that
he would swing Justify at every pitch
regardless of consequences.
AS Mays delivered one Of his ia
nous underhand balls, Armour
started his swing. In golf language
he sliced it, hitting the ball late. To
the CONSERVATION of Armour and all
the rest, the ball dropped into the
right field stands for what would
have been a home run in regular
game.
Immediately the ball players be-
gan to give Mays the 'razzberry,"
and those who know Carl can fully
realize he didn't enthuse over the
reception.

TOMMY Armour, National open

baseball fan. In the summer when
Armour isn't on the links you can

ing the game to watching it. Some
of the ball players have become
mighty proficient at their golf.
At the fanfest last summer made
up of golfers and ball players, the
argument arose as to which was the
more difficult to hit, golf ball or
baseball.
Armour, who never played base
ball, argued he would hit more
balls in twenty-five pitches than
some ball player who never had
gOIfed would hit a stationary golf
ball
