The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1927-11-19

1t begins to bOk like the game is to
be elevated to its once exalted plane
however. if the plans suggested by the
league organizer, DIR. Johnson, are to
be taken as a criterion. Certainly DIR.
Johnson knows what the public expects
and what the league must give to stand
the pace. Johnson was head of basket
ball during its live years and his sue
cess is easily remembered.
There is room for basketball league
in Chicago and there is also big de-
mand for the game. But if the demand
is to be supplied it must be on a sound
basis and minus the usual disappOint-
mentS that have married the game in re-
cent years.

FISK BULLDOGS
TOP TALLADEGA
in UPSET IS To 8
Coach JohnSOn'S Eleven
Threatens Title Hopes
Of Leaders

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. u. -
The Fisk Bulldogs triumphed over
the Talladega Football team 10 to 8
Saturday in the Nashville (Tenn.)
Baseball Park. Coach "Tubby' John
son started his second string men
against the visitors and only brought
his first string team en- the field when
the ball was in Fisk's possession in
Talladega's territory fear the end
of the quarter. The regulars quickly
scored a touchdown by a 3O-yard
pass from Thornhill to Yost and the
latter's run for a touchdown.
In the next quarter Thornhill
threy a 20-yard pass to Peterson
who ron for a touchdown. A 20-yard
pass from Gee to Yost and a 15-yard
run by Yost after receiving the ball
again put the ball in scoring dis
lance and Gee carried the ball over.
Yost kicked the first point after goal
but failed in the next two trys. The
outstanding play of this half was the
interrogation of forward pass and
a subsequent run of 40 yards straight
through the entire Talladega team
by Thornhill.
In the second half the visitors
scored a safety and touchdown but
never became threatening. A high
pass from Walker to Yost slipped
through Yost's fingers and rolled be-
hind Fisk's goal line. Yost recovered
the ball but was tackled before he
passed his goal line. This scored .
safety for Talladega. In the last
quarter a 30-yard pass from Askew
to Walker (of Talladega) brought
the ball to Fisk's 5-yard line and
three plays later similar pass from
Askew to Walker resulted in y
touchdown for Talladega.

Every excuse was offered in a last
minute effort to hold the public'S con-
fdence but apparently to no avail.
Certainly it is no. secret that the games
following have been poorly attended.
A few weeks later, however, the same
Chicago team advertised a game with
the Dayton Marathons of Dayton, Ohio.
The papers played the game up to a
nigh pitch, placards were spread over
the city and tickets were sold far in
advance of the game. But when the
time came for the game the manage
ment was forced to explain to the pub
lie that Dayton had been in a wreck
and that there would be no game. Fin
ally a team of old timers were gotten
together and the fans we're given. some
sort Of a run for their money. A game
may be a game but the fact remains
that the public wants to see the par
ticular attraction they pay to observe
and are reluctant to accept substi-
tute matters not how efficient the latter
may be.

The new organization occupies an
all-important role. If run properly it
will soon become an institution Of pay
ing proportions; if the public is given
a run for its money there will be little
standing room even at the games. So
let us hope the owners see the thing
from the right angle. If they do we
are in for a winter of real sport, but
certain failure turks in the wake Of
an attempt to kid the public. Let's 60,

story is more or less false alarm.
First is the time. 1t is unlikely that
any promoter or promoters would at
tempt such a promotion at such late
date. And then there is that other side

ern eleven. Tuskegee has turned the
trick once this season and the fans
would not be anxious to watch the
process d second time. have an idea
that the fans who would attend the
game to see just how Tuskegee did the
trick would be in too small numbers
to make the promotion a successful
venture.

the coach scolded his men in no I'M
certain terms.
Still another speedy line plunger was
sent through, representing Ward and
his every attempt was submerged.
Branch, Edwards and Nash are the
powerful backs that the Wilberforce
coach must legislate against. Branch
is captain Of the team, playing his last
season and his showing has been treat
to followers of Institution. Nash is
doing the kicskinr Nor the team and
getting plenty o. INSTANCE under his
boots. He gets from so to 70 yards
and has as much accuracy as any
seen in these parts this season. He is
a dangerous man from anywhere inside
the forty-yard line. If Force" hopes
to hold the score even in the event
that both goals remain uncrossed, they
will do well to keep Nash away from
the 35-yard line. He is good for the
three points at anytime the angle is
right. Yes, Wilberforce must watch
this boy ltr suffer certain defeat.

SAM HUSTON IS
WINNER OVER L.
FROM TEXAS COL.
Texas Title Holders Take
12-6 Contest From
Texas College
BY Edwin Hurdle

TYLER, TEX, Nov. 11-After suffer-
ing a crushing defeat at the hands OF
the Wiley Wildcats on Nov. 4, the nigh
tv Sam Huston Dragons staged a rous-
ing comeback by putting down the Tex
as College Steers by a 1916 score.
The game, beginning at 2:30 p. m.
was PLAYED on Texas field with a steady
westward wind greeting both teams.
Acting captain Aubrey ASkey, who
was serving at the helm for Captain
Chuffy Alexander, led the Crimson and
Cream warriors as they trotted on the
field. Then Coach Taylor gave them
their final instructions.
It was a patched-up team which rep
resented Sam Huston. Alexander, cap.
tain and right halfback, was left al
home because of a bad leg; Srar0e
regular left end, may be out for the re.
uainder Of the season because Of All III.
Jury received in the Wiley game. Har-
ris, guard and Darden, tackle, with leg
injuries, were the others who were miss
ing from the Dragon team. Owens
sturdy Dragon quarterback, was hurt
but he wanted to fill his position. Davis
last year all-conference end, had bad
leg but it did not keep him out Of the
starting lineup.
The Steers made their advent on the
field few minutes later amid cheers OF
students and followers.
After ten minutes Of play, Wheat
Sam Huston fullback, ran is yards fol
Sam Huston'S first touchdown. In the
second quarter, Walton on the receiv-
ing end of q forward~1&s, made the
only touchdown for Texas III the fourth
period, by hitting Sam Huston line fol
yards.

INSTITUTE w. VA, Nov. 14-Coach
Hamblin started his men working on
Wilberforce plays today with the in
tention of taking the glory away from
the Ohio eleven in the annual Turkey
Day game to be played at Columbus,
Ohio, Thanksgiving day. One Of the
freshmen backs was ordered to run
high, just as Harding does, while an
other was sent around the ends with
the speed of an Edward Ritchie. Both
players got away for long gains and

makes the team at least forty per cent
stronger and gives it a quartet Of
players, either of whom makes mo-
tons in the direction of the best tri-
pie threat game Of any Of the schools
For the past three years, Richie
has been terror to all teams oppoS-
ing Wilberforce. His passing, end
runs and kicking have been Of the
highest type and he is brainy play
err. It was the manner in which he
directed the plays Of his school that
kept the Institute team at bay last
Thanksgiving.
Best in Open Field
Richie is an ali-round player, but
rises to his greatest height as al open
field runner. His trips around end re-
mind one Of the famous Red Grange
and he is just as shifty as the famous
Illini star. Ritchte Is leaving Chica-
go this week for Wilberforce, In order
that he may get back into harness
and re-acquaint himself with the
teams signals.
But even though Ritchie fails to
get back into harness, the Force"
team will not have to suffer thereby.
In Harding and Ward, they have two
of the sh:ftiest runners in the game
and couple of men whose every move
must be watched. Both are ten-sec-
ond men and possessed Of plenty of
brains. Harding's style of running
with his knees up around his head,
makes tackling him a difficult matter
fl: any defense.
Another thing - Harding is brainy
player. 1t. will be recalled that his
safety just about ruined Institutes
chances for tying the score last
Thanksgiving Day. Wilberforce was
compelled to kick from behind its
own goal posts, always a dangerous
thing to attempt, but instead of kick
ing, Harding downed the ball for a
safety, giving the opposing team two
points. But as sWilberforce had al
ready scored a field goal for three
points, the marker did not alter the
final result. A blocked punt might
have spelled defeat for the powerful
Wilberforce eleven and it is known
tat Wilberforce was making every
effort to turn the trick.

Dublin, July 18th The body of Kelvin

Higgins, the Irish Times believes, will
rally the whole nation to the Govern

in Parliament with a new sense Of
responsibility. The paper calls for quiet
testimony of faith in the Governments
stock and the country's destiny. The

even the solace afforded by the know
ledge that an individual of depraved
mind was responsible, because the fatal
ambuscade was carefully planned by men
determined on attaining their object.
Nothing has happened in recent times, "
it adds, can be urged as the f1imsiest
e~Xtenuation of the appalling horror. AL
though the police have as yet made no
arrest in connection with the assassina-
ton, they have found an automobile
which they believe to be the car used
by the %assassins. The car was abandon.

having been stolen from a house in

to enable the police to identify the men.
