 Unwieldy and unruly crowds troop about the trains and hang on tho words of candidates. ex-candi- dates and near-candidates. Thou sands flock out to cheer at party rallies and march in torchlight pa- rades. Regstration lists have sky rocketed. Political headquarters have become mad-houses.
 More Activity Ahead
 The few remaining days of the campaign will see these activities further intensified. Hoover and Cur tis, Smith and Robinson. seconded by as brilliant . galaxy of platform orators as ever answered the call of the parties in modern times, are swinging into the last supreme ef- fort of the battle. It seems certain that the voter is to witness, and be part of, . final week of political ex. citement unmatched in . lifetime.
 East Wtll Re Busy
 A generous portion of this activity will find its focus in the east which during the present week has seen both of the presidential nominees in action. Among them, New York. Massachusetts, New Jersey. Connec- ticut, Rhode Islam. Delaware and Maryland control an even 100 of the 266 electoral votes needed to elect. Every one of these states still is stoutly debated,

Odds Are Even and Unce.> 7 is Against Eh's Great Smashing Offensive.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 27.-(UP) Yale and Army, the two great teams of the east, each had virtually it's full football strength ready for the decisive battle which was to be witnessed by upward of S0,000 spectators here this afternoon. | The odds were even. The outcome was as uncertain as fat man on his first roller skates. The prognosti- cations were as unreliable as boot legger's assurance. Anything from a desperately contested tie to an un- expected rout was likely to occur when these two powerful. versatile elevens swung into action in Yale bowl.
 Sprague is Ready Captain Bud Sprague, one of the greatest linesmen in the game. had SO far recovered from injuries sus- tained in the Harvard game last week as to be ready to take his place among the. Army forwards at the opening kickoff. Nal Stevens, new and thus far highly successful head coach at New Haven, had every regular in shape except Oldt. his rangy wing man. who is useful to the Bull Dog because of his prowess as a kicker.
 Against the relentless drive of the Yale backfield which thus far has carried everything before it, the Cadets pitted a seasoned line, a hard tackling secondary defense. the ex- perience of a greater number ol years on the gridiron and the stub- bornness of their mascot. the Mule
 The Yale team went into the game braced to break down the Army's vaunted aerial attack. to stop Chris Cagle, the flame-topped meteor. and to maintain the tradition, seldom broken. that an Eli eleven can bea, off whatever challenge comes from West Point.
 Two Years Ago
 Two years ago, the Army swept across the gridiron in Yale bowl, car. rying everything before it. and roll. ing up touchdown after touchdown and point after point until the fina score read: Army, 33, Yale. 0. Tha year was an exception. Last October little more than year ago. tn, Blue wiped out memories of tha disastrous defeat by downing the Cadets, 10 to 2.
 This year, Yale and the Army stand out as the leading elevens ol the east. Today's winner was certain

Break Even In Series

CBy the Associated Press)

80
The latest test of strength be-
tween two Of the leaders in the Tex
as league pennant chase, Houston
and Wichita Falls. has ended with an
even break and honors enough to
satisfy the hackers Of both.
As a result of their 2 to l victory
over Wichita Falls Tuesday, the
Bluffs were back at the top of the
percentage column with a record of
having divided the two-game series
with the Dixie champions.
Although the Bluffs gathered
twelve hits and had men on bases
in several innings, the game was
a pitching duel of a brilliant type
between Payne and Hallahan with
neither having much advantage until
the ninth and tenth innings.
Hallahan allowed the hard-hitting
S~pudders but two hits and famed
ten, but his great work was match
ed by that of Payne, the leading
pitcher in the loop in 1927, who was
unhittable in the pinches and held
the Bluffs scoreless until the ninth.
Although they did not meet on the
diamond, San Antonio and Fort
Worth. who are within easy strik-
ing distance Of first place, passed
each other in the league standing
when the Bears defeated Shreveport,
3 to 2, and the Panthers lost to
Beaumont, 4 to s.
BY virtue of the days fortunes,
San Antonio regained third place and
hoped to better themselves further
in a game TODAY with the Dallas
Steers who have been a football for
nearly every club in the circuit this
season.
