 niSh Feature Game Saturday

] Chicago, Nov. l tR1Two Of the outstanding unbeaten football teams in the country, with opposite meth
 cd of gaining yardsge, will feature the middlewest's football program
 Saturday when Minnesota and Notre
 Dame meet at South Bend, Ind.
 Rockne has a light fast team with
 an open shifty passing and running attack, centered around Chris Elan agan. a Man O. War in himself. Min
 nesota has passers and runners, too, but the main threat of Coach Spears Gophers is Capt. Herb Joesting, who t. has yet to find tAe line he cant
 break through.
 The first day Of preparation for
 this game found the Minnesotans without casualties and possessing a husky new tackle, Bronko Nagur- ski. Notre Dame varsity trotted 1 through light exercises yesterday. recovering from the bruises of the Georgia Tech fray.
 The unbeaten Illini were started on their Iowa campaign by q long lecture from Coach Zuppke on the harm that overconfidence may do
 after two great victories. All kinds
 of surprises must be expected from
 the supposedly weak Iowa team, Zuppke said.
 Coach Hanley took the lecture
 platform, too, to point out the mis-
 takes he saw in Northwestern's play against Missouri Saturday. The long list of cripples on the Purdue squad are all expected to be re-
 stored for the Northwestern visit Saturday, giving Coach Phelan his
 strongest lineup of the season. Northwestern is one of the four conference teams represented in the
 victory column. The others are H. linois, Michigan and Chicago. the latter two each with one defeat, the same as Northwestern.
 Michigan and Chicago will be out to push each other down the scale, in their battle at Stagg field Satur- day, their first meeting since the 14-0 Wolverine victory in 1920. The Maroons came out of the Ohio battle without injury. except to their re- cord of victories. The Wolverines will have Gilbert back in the lineup Saturday from present indications. Coach Wieman kept him out of the Illinois game for fear of compliCa- tions from an infected arm which was operated on only 8 few minutes
 before game time.
 Ohio State will take Harvard's vacant football engagement against Princeton Saturday. The Buckeyes should be able to put up one of their
 best games of the season with har- mony restored on the squad and the alumni clamor hushed.

ANOTHER GRANGE
 AN ILLINOIS STAR
Brother Of ''Galloping Ghost" Has Big Part in Victory

Urbana, H., Nov. 1 (UP)-Thc University of Illinois campus again resounds with praise of red dhead ed football player named Grange.
 This time the praise is for Gar land "Pinky" Grange, brother Of Harold who under the direction of =. z. Pyle, turned his football fame into dollars.
 The younger Oranges alertness and fleetness played an important part Tn Illinois defeat of Michigan last Saturday. "Pinky" caught the opening kickoff and carried if out 70 yards when the game opened. In 1923 Red" ran Michigan's opening kickoff down the field for a touch down.
 Ptnky was down under a punt which Puckelwartz Of Michigan fumbled in the second quarter, and he fell on It on the Wolverine seven yard line paving the way for q touchdown. He snagged passes, he blocked a punt and playing in the backfeld on defense, he smashed play after play as he backed up the line.
 "Pinkey' plays end where Red played halfback. and therefore has not quite so much opportunity to shine. Where his brother Harold was fashy, Garland is workmanlike. Where Red" was mainly an eflcn- sive threat. "Pinky' is a valuable man on defense.
 This is the third season that the younger Grange has tried for q place on the Illinois team. In Reds" last year, Garland was out for the team, but a recurrence of a high school injury to his shoulder bothered him, and he dropped out or school. The same thing occurred in 1926, and the shoulder was operat- ed on.
 People began to say that "Pinky' was a "fop"--that he was trying 10 live on his brothers reputation and he decided 10 show them. He played good football against Ames and against Northwestern, but it vas against Michigan that he really found himself.
 He probably will never be "an- other Grange sought these many seasons on many football fields, but he has vindcated himself as com potent football player. and about as pood sp end as there Ia In the Big Ten conference.

One of the outstanding football 1 stars of last year was Morton vil-May" Kaer of the University of Southern California He was practically unanimous choice for | All-America halfback.
 { Since the close of last season. Kaer has been eagerly sought by a | half dozen of the leading profes- sional football teams of the country. | However, he cares more for his amateur standing than the golden returns of pro" football.
 During his college career, Kaer was frequently described as the greatest all-around collegiate athlete in America. His remarkable per- formances in various branches of sport richly earned the title. 1 kaer is not enrolled in college this fall. He is playing on the amateur football squad of the Olym- pic club of San Francisco. He in i tends to return to Southern Cali fornia in February however.
 Despite the fact that Southern 1 California has a rule limiting ath- 1 letes to two major athletic activi- l ties during d single season, "Devil- | May" Eaer is known as four sport man. He has earned his letters in four major sports.
 Prior to entering on his college | career, several baseball teams from l the Pacific Coast league of baseball clubs tried to sign him, but Kaer | was set on acquiring an education with all it's athletic trimmings.
 AS a "prep' athlete, he won | greater fame as a track man, He | had never played football. Kaer first made the varsity in football, then basketball. Later. he tried | baseball and track. In 1925, he scored 19 touchdowns as a fullback, to lead the nation in scoring. He was an All-America selection for halfback last season because of his uniformly brilliant work.
 Kaer, having played three years of football, is not eligible this fall | for the grid game. However he has { had only two years of track and one each of basketball and baseball 1 The Pacific coast conference gives athletes four varsity years to finish all competition. kaer will return to the Trojans In time for most of the basketball season and will con- ccntrate on track
 Kaer ran the low hurdles in 23S seconds last season. He placed in every collegiate meet on Southern California's schedule. except the in 1 ter-colegiates, where he was elimi- mated before the finals. Not only does he expect to do big things in track for his alma mater this spring but he also has three chances to make the team, for besides the pen tathlon and quarter-mile hurdles there is the hop, step and jump in which he did 4G feet 6 inches last year in the A. A. U. meet.
 Here is an interesting yarn In connection with Kaer's grdiron career, Speed being his greatest asset, he got away none too well in his sophomore year. He came into form late,
 There is a story that before a cer- tain important game, feeling he had been failure, he broke training by smoking several cigarettes prior tc the kickoff. He got his chance in this game and was the outstanding star.
 Rushing to the only man who saw him smoke, Kaer got him tt agree to never mention the incident and from that game on Kaer was g sensation on the coast in football

New York, Nov. P,-Methods of preparation for big games on next Saturdays football program vary considerably In eastern camps. Harvard intends to get into condi- ton for the game with Pennsylvania by going without scrimmage. Tad Jones and his Yale warriors are mapping out their plans for the Princeton game, Nov. IF. and it is very likely that the Yale second team will play the greater part of Saturdays contest against Maryland, Princeton has Yale to think about, but with Ohio State coming up there IS an immediate challenge that must be answered, and coach Bill Roper IS driving his men hard.
 Princeton's assignment is viewed as the most severe. Ohio States victory over Chicago last week in dicates that the Buckeyes have ral- lied from a slump. Princeton is an- ticipating a stern battle and will have to put it's full strength on the field, although Roper perhaps would like to save his men as much as possible for the following week. If the Tiger does get by the Ohio State invasion with a victory and without injury the next weeks game at New h. r,,1} To about Yale's claim to championship ranking. The Eli's setback by Georgia was brought about largely on fumbles and a victory over the now unbeaten Tiger would partly erase that blot in view of the Blues steady improvement from week to week.
 Pittsburgh, with the best eleven when Pop Warner held the reins. IS faced with its most severe test of the year in Washington and Jef- ferson. These two undefeated and united eggregations together have accounted for victories against such teams as Carnegie Tech, Drake, West Virginia and Lafayette.

Chicago, Nov. UP) - Mickey Walker worlds middleweight cham pion, tonight goes out of his class to meet Mike McTigue, former light heavyweight title holder, in a bout which will settle nothing in particu- lar, but promises to be one of Chi cago's most colorful fistic attrac- lions.
 No title will be at stake and the men will box at catchweights.

 It is their second meeting they having fought 12 round mo- decision contest in 1925. Opinion was divided over the outcome of this bout.
 The battle promises to be con- test of good right hands. Both fight CTS Nare hard right hand hltterS ana McTigue probably will rely on this hand to win for it is conceded that the younger Mickey can outbox the veteran.
 Walker is obsessed with the idea that he can whip any of the light Eeavies and if he wins tonight, ln- tends imm ediately issuing a chal- { lnnge to Jimmy Slattery and Tom thy Loughran, present claimants Of the light heavyweight title.
 Walker expects to weigh l66 pounds; McTigue 175. i McTigue is 6-5 favorite. The bout seems to be @ case of q good little man going up against a good big man and the bettors refuse tc believe the good little man can win
