Atlee Pomerene is the present choice Of
Ohio for President, but 1t is the under
standing that the Ohio convention In

other native son OF that State so long

that Smith will be stopped from picking

"Nurmi, so far as | know and ]

"Nurmi is much interested in con-

CHICAGO, Nov. l5.-tP-The race
for Big Ten championship honors
won't be ended By the Iowa-Wiscon-

Only a victory Saturday and an

or both would allow Ohio and Illinois
a chance to tie for the title.
Whether Iowa or Wisconsin wins,

faces a final game with its tradi-

working overtime for next weeks

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Py-The
games backed by age and tradition
will have the call over those with
nothing but the records of the pres
emit season behind them in the minds
of eastern football fans this week.
The Yale-Princeton encounter
holds the center spotlight as the old
est Of the traditional games. The Sc
rics started in 1873 and Saturdays
game will be the SIND meeting. Yale
has won 81 games against IS for
Princeton.
Princeton has a somewhat better
record with four victories and two
ties. Yale has been defeated BY Ar
my and Maryland. The seasons rec
ord can be tossed into the discard
when these two fight it out as they
never count anything but what hap
pens on the field in their own game.
Another series which dates back
into the early days of football will
be resumed at Philadelphia between
Pennsylvania and Columbia. They
