ling one of the best elevens to wear
the crimson of Indiana.
The contest between these two I'M
beaten elevens was considered the most
outstanding of the conferences pro-
gram, Twenty-Five thousand had seats
Tor the battle, the first between the
two schools since 1914, when Illinois
won, 81 to 0.
Despite Ind1ana's great showing in
defeating Oklahoma and Michigan,
Illinois was a favorite, but Coach Pat
rage OF the Hoosiers, who has been
busy upsetting teams for 20 years had
his men in fighting mood and deter
mined to come through with an upset.
Illinois has played we'll in its two nom
conference games and appeared to have
the same type OF machinelike play that
won the Big Ten title last year.
IL mas been an even quarter century
since Indiana triumphed over the Illini
on the foot ball field, although there
was draw in 1911.

national team tennis supremacy, will be

entertainment tax.
For the same reason the federation
forbade all tournaments in France
among clubs belonging to the fedora
ton.

TLANTA, Ga, October 20.-The
" mental angle, psychology, the
"A jinX or whatever it may be la
4 i beled, adds to the current COM
plications of college foot ball
1t played quite part in the advance
dope on today'S games, which involved
the most widespread tests of champion
ship aspirations so far in the 1928 cam
paign.
Georgia Tech, for instance, in this
Southern stronghold of foot ball, sent
its forces out to chase the ink that
Notre Dame has appeared to hold over
the Yellow Jackets. The HoosierS have
captured this interSectional tilt for the
past six years, but today they run up
against powerful Tech array, imbued
with new confidence. This confidence
may have been inspired by the knowl-
edge that Rockne's men have been
somewhat cratic performers on the
gridiron so far, but it existed never
theleSs.
Likewise in other big battles of the
day Army hoped to chase away the
memory Of defeats at Harvard's hands
in the days when the Crimson sat
around the top of the heap while out
on the West coast California sought to
shake off its bad luck of recent years
}et the expense of Southern California.
These games, along with Nebraska
Syracuse, Michigan State, Ala
.lDama Tennessee, Vanderbilt Tulane,
PennSylvania-Penn State, Yale-Brown
and flock of others involving old
rivals, occupied the spotlight of an
,eventful day. Old Man Foot Ball and
fhe dope have taken considerable pun
'1shment so far and it would not be sur
prising to see the list of upsets sub
Stantially increased by the time all the
returns are in.
So far it has been difficult for the ex-
perts to pick the outstanding elevenS in
any sector with any degree of assurance.
When ordinarily top ranking outfits
like the Navy and Michigan go this far
without a victory between them and
comparative little fellows such as Davis
Elkins and Centenary spring promi-
hence, it illustrates the pitfalls of eX-
porting.
Today's skirmishes however, appear
certain to clear much of the atmosphere.
Three of the teams generally rated
among the South's trongest-Alabama,
Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech-al may
be judged with more precision after to-
days events are over.
The Army-Harvard, Penn-Penn State,
Yale-Brown, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
Dartmouth Columbia games are figured
to give better line on Eastern title
hopes.
Of the six undefeated members of the
Western Conference big Ten" two, In
diana and Illinois, were bracketed Cor
the day. Ohio State, Wisconsin and
Minnesota all faced beaten conference
teams in Michigan, Purdue and Chicago,
respectively, while Iowa stepped outside
the fold to meet Ripon.
With the Southwestern and Missouri
Valley big Six" races just getting TN
der way, Examinations were in prospect
both in the Rocky Mountain and Paci-
fic Coast Conferences.

Big Foot Ball Games Being Staged Evey Section of United States
TECH LOOMS DESPITE WIN
OF EASTERN HIGH ELEVEN

TECH HIGH SCHOOLS foot bal
team today is given more thar
an even chance by many with
Il Eastern to win the public high
school championship gridiron
series.
STOCK OF the MvKinley eleven has
gone up as the result of the opening
series games yesterday in which East
ern defeated Central. 6 to 0. The
Lincoln Parkers, figured by many
critics to trim Central by several
touchdowns, were held to the one
touchdown by the Columbia Heights
outfit and were not at all impressive
against their fighting but lighter and
less inexperienced foe.
Tech will make its series debut next
Tuesday against Business.
In other scholastic grid games in
volving elevenS of the District group
yesterday, Gonzaga bowed to Catholic
University Freshman, IA to 0, at Brook
land; st. Johns fell before George
Washington Freshmen, 10 to 6, on the
Tidal Basin Field; Emerson drubbed
Charlotte Hall Academy, So to o, at
Charlotte Hail. Nd, and ST. Adams
School opened its campaign with a
12-to-0 win over st. PaulS School in
Baltimore.
Eastern, though it contrived to shove
across only one touchdown, seriously
threatened to push another over and
was the aggresSor all the way Central
registered just two first downs all the
afternoon.
Charlie Millar, the ace of the East
ern backfeld, counted the touchdown in
the second period. The blond half
back plunged over in two line bucks
from the 5-yard line after he had
dashed 20 yards to put the ball in
striking distance. Woods place kick for
the extra point failed.
A gallant Central stand in the
shadow OF its goal posts prevented an
Eastern touchdown in the opening
period. After Capt. Billy Wood, clever
quarterback of the Lincoln Park team,
had swept right end for 81 yards to
put the ball on CentralS 31a-yard strip
the Columbia Heights line became q
stone wall and Central was able to
kick out of danger.
Capt. Wood and MCCULLOUGH were
offensive stGrs for Eastern in addition
TO Mlllar. Big Tom Nally, tackle,
played a stellar line game for the
Lincoln Parkers, opening ur hole after
mole IN he Central forward wall.
None of the Central backs was able to
gain appreciate ground. Several of the
proGegeS OF Ty Rauber got in some nice
defensive work, however. Central plaved
without the services of Gene Collella
cieV1r quarterback, who was kept on the
Sldelines because of scholastic difficult
