n VIEW YORK, November 29.-Stars
whose names have been foot
VI ball bywords shine their last
1 and flicker out at many points
along the Eastern college front
this afternoon.
A few teams, among which are Har-
ward. Yale and Princeton, already nave
brought their season to a close, Whlle
the Army. Boston College, Holy Cross
and Georgetown continue activities I'M
til Saturday, but for the great majority
Thanksgiving day rings down the cur
tain.
Foot ball clevens representing the
.ame institutions will reappear next Fall,
but many of the outstanding players
will not Ken Strong, for enc, will b.
playing his last college game when, ct
the Yankee Stadium, he leads his
mighty New York University eleven
against the Oregon Aggies. the first
P2ciiic Coast team ever to play on the
Eastern scaboard.
Finish for Strong.
AS Strong declares he has no In
tention OF becoming a professional fo1c
bail player, this probably will be his
last appearance in grid toys of any
kind or color The great Violet half
back who halls from West Haven.
Conn. enters his valedictory game with
| the experts almost unanimous in favor
of his selection for all-America hOnCrS
and with an Iron man" record of never
| having failed to be in the starting
lineup and. never having been taken
out because of injury in three years
of play.
| Strong threw two touchdown passes
/ against Carnegie, is another among the
| n. Y. U. regulars who graduate. Al
| LaSsman. the injured captain, will nos
| even be able to play in the final game
| but will hear it by special wire to his
| room in a Pittsburgh hospital.
| Another great star to be seen no
more in college colors after today IS
| Paul Scull triple threat halfback, who
leads his Pennsylvania legions against
| Cornell at Franklin Field. Philadelphia.
! The presence of the redoutable Scull.
who has proved the handspring of his
/ team, makes Penn g topheavy favorite
| in a game il which the lines are we'll
matched, but the backfield argument
is all in favor Of the Quakers. Dud
| Schoales, Cornell end and captain, will
be singing his swan song in this game.
Hopes for Win at Last.
Capt. Hal Daysinger of Syracuse. one
of the bc5S quarterbacks in Orange
history. has hopes of closing his col
lege career with victory over Column
bia. With not q single major triumph
yet to its credit the Syracuse eleven
under the Akron boys captaincy has had
a disappointing year. but may put on
victorious finish against a Columbia
team which has been no better. Its
biggest problem will be holf lg of a
strong Columbia line built around
| Capt. Bill Adler. another member of
the passing parade. 1t was Columbia's
forward wall which accomplished the
first defeat of Syracuse in history
year ago by blocking pair Of Bay
| singers puntS.
Colgate loses the powerful kicking
| toe and line play of Capt. Bruce Du-
mont, guard. after the game with Brown,
while the Bruins note the passing of the
last of their iron men" of two years
ago.
The spectacle of the much-battered
Eddie Halicki. leading his Bucknen team
against Temple, and of Fox. the Pitts
burgh guard. taking the field with his
men against Penn State are other sights
to be seen for the last time today.
Last for Ellis.
Fred Ellis of Tufts-the quarter
back they call Fish" perhaps because
he is so slippery-plays his last game
far from the home campus at Med
ford, Mass. heading an intersectional
venture against Butler University at In
dianauolis. Geneva. which has gone to
Cleveland to play John Carroll. adds an
other to the seasons record of tussels
between East and Middle West.
Among the familiar figures to be seen
in the scrap down in the hills Of Nor
gantown between West Virginia and
Washington 81 jefferson are Keefer Of
the Mountaineers' backfield and ASch-
man and Douds of the Presidents line.
