CHICAGO. october 1.-TWO haugh-
ty elevens. Notre Dame and the Navy,
already welted and SCARED by the lash
OF defeat, will lock in combat on Sol
dier Field tomorrow before probably
the largest multitude ever to witness a
foot ball game in America
One hundred and twenty thousand
persons, eclipsing by thousands the pre-
vious recordbreaking throng that
jammed into the huge stadium on the
shore of Lake Michigan for the Notre
Dame-University of Southern Cali
fornia spectacle year ago, are ex-
pected to watch the clash.
So great has been the demand for
tickets that extra bleachers have been
erected and every inch of available
space utilized to accommodate, If neces-
Sary, 10000.
With the colorful spectacle the head
line attraction of Chicago's triple grid
iron program for the day, a program
calculated to draw total of more than
10000 spectators, this city Saturday
will be the sporting metropolis of
America. Ten miles south, on Stagg
Field, more than 10000 are expected
to see the Big Ten struggle between
Iowa and Chicago; 13 miles north an
other throng of $4,000 probably will jam
into Dyche Stadium to witness the
Ohio ate-Northwestern duel
Chicago was on edge and intense

attractions today. Hotels reported res

There has been a regular exodus of
Southern teams last night and today
northward. No less than six schools
| from below the MaSon-Dixon line will
, be in the North tomorrow afternoon
| for games against some of the strongest
and biggest universities in the coun-
| try. Princeton, Harvard and Yale en-
tertain three of the big teams of the
South. Virginia is at Princeton, Norvh
Carolina at Harvard and Georgia at
Yale.
Unless Harvard. Yale and Princeton
are stronger than usual at this time
of the year the Southern schools may
make surprisingly good showings. Vir-
| ginia has a powerful and heavy line
and if Princeton'S offense is not very
| far advanced the Charlottesville school
will surprise people with what it does.
Georgia probably will play against a
Yale team that will be all set for it,,
| but If Georgia is as strong as it is
reputed to be, Yale will have its diff
culties just the same.
North Carolina, provided its tackles
hold up, will make a creditable showing
at Harvard. With the wealth of back
| field material wearing the crimson it
is going to be difficult for the Tarheel
tackles to withstand the smashing they
are going to get.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute is at
Colgate to attempt to repeat its VIC
tory of last season. 1t probably will
have a harder job, but since Colgate
was defeated last week by Vanderbilt, it
does not seem out of the question for
Virginia Poly to repeat, especially as it
has probably its strongest team in years.
The other two games in which teams
in this section will be against North
ern institutions will be Johns Hopkins
against Syracuse and Hampden-Sidney
against Cornell. Both Cornell and Syra-
cuse are slated for victories but face
good machines.
One of the big games in which local
people are interested is that between
Navy and Notre Dame, at Chicago.
Both teams have been defeated, but
both will play very good foot ball
and whether it has won or lost in its
previous contests, there is always a lot
of interest in each of these teams.
In the Western Conference the big
games are between Purdue and Mime
sofa, at Minneapolis, and Ohio State
and Northwestern, at Evanston; be-
tween Michigan and Indiana, at Ann
Arbor, and Iowa and Chicago, at Chi

For the first time in 81 years, Purdue
invaded Minnesota with hopes high of

charges of the powerful gophers; In

squad was at Chicago for the first clash
between the two schools since 1920.

Northwestern depended on its fleet
backs to repulse Ohio States invasion
Two Buckeye backs, KruSkamp and
Huston. are expected to be out of the
game, because of injuries.
MayeS McLain, Iowa's husky fullback,
was causing considerable interest and
some CONSERVATION for Chicago as it
prepared for the tussle. The Maroon
line has been weak and McLain, who
led the Nations stars in individual
scoring in 1925 when he played with
Haskell, is expected to fiat it. Coach
Stagg indicated his team would flash
passing attack by drilling his men in
that department thoroughly again last
night.
Buoyed by the prospect of defeating
Michigan for the first time, Indiana's S
rugged team was confident. Coach Tad
Wieman of the Wolverines promised a
different lineup than the one that
bowed to Ohio Wesleyan Saturday.
Announcement that Ed WeStphal,
sophomore fullback candidate, was

FORMER GRID STAR
is SENT TO PRISON
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, October 12.-In
strange contrast to the thunderous ap-
plause which followed Johnny Haw-
kins four years ago when he was cap
tain and star quarterback of the Uni
versity of Southern California foot ball
team, the former grid hero heard a
sentence Of them to rs years i'm
priSonment for burglary pronounced
against him in court here yesterday.
The one-time hero of thousands of
students on the university campus and
the idol of Southern California grid
fans stood with head bowed when his
long personal appeal for probation was
denied and sentence to San Quentin
was pronounced.
Hawkins pleaded guilty to five
charges of burglary after being caught
robbing a house here last January.
Discovery later of $4,000 worth of
plunder in his home resulted in 30
charges of burglary being placed
against him. The exact length of his
term will be decided by the State
Prison Board, but it cannot be less than
5 nor more than rs years under the
wording of the sentence.
In his confession Hawkins said that
his real estate business had been bank
rupt and that he was forced to resort
to robbery to obtain money for a
major operation which his young wife
had to undergo. Later his brother,
Jimmy Hawkins, became involved in
the asserted theftS and is awaiting
trial Johnny Hawkins absolved the
younger boy of any connection with
the crimes

stands, and there appears to be no
reason for them swarming over the
south side of the field.
Two Washington scholastic foot ball
elevens are to get action tomorrow, both
in Pennsylvania. Central High will en-
gage York High at York and Emer-
son is down for brush against Gettys-
burg Academy at Gettysburg.
Crippled by injuries, Coach Louis j.
(Ty) Rauber is uncertain as to how
he will start his Central eleven at the
opening of play against York. He says
he expects to wait until he can look
over the York eleven before he makes
up his mind as to his lineup. Clever
Central performers who may not be
able to get into the game because they
are not in shape include Ross, Plumley
and Hinkle, backs; Hochbaum, guard,
and Brandt, end.
It is likely that Emerson will begin
against Gettysburg without the services
of Doty Trilling, its crack center. Tril-
ling has shown to the best advantage
of any Emerson player in its two games
to date and has been elected captain
before each game as tribute to his
fine spirit He has an injured back
and Coach P. L. Banfield will not let
him play unless he is satisfied his con-
dition will warrant it, An X-ray has
been taken of the injury, but what it
reveals has not yet been made known.
If Trilling does not play, Buscher
probably will be shifted to center from
the backfield and McKaig will replace
BuScher behind the line. Powers, Col
ley and Gordon will likely make up the
remainder of the backfield, with Gordon
calling signals. 1t Is probable that
Davidson and Buscher will be at ends i;
Wheatley or Shugrue and Galotta,
guards, and Matthews and Rigg, tackles.

In their game at Soldiers Field,
Chicago, tomorrow. One of the meth
ods that Ingram's charges must be
on the lookout for is a play that
starts as an off tackle thrust but
winds up with the runner cutting in
side the tackle. The. bluff to draw
the defensive tackle wide is worked
by the runner, No. /, and his lead
tnterferer, No, 2, taking as though
to go off tackle as the end who
usually takes this tackle deserts
him and drives into the defensive
guard. This lets the tackle come
charging a few steps across.
Naturally these steps are toward
the apparent point of attack. That
is just what Notre Dame wants him
to do. Crack, he is hit from the
inside by back No. as No. dives
straight into him to stop his rush
forward. Meantime the defensive
guard is showed out of the way. A
hole thus made lets No. / crash
through with No. leading him, as
well as lineman from the short
side.

~ My two of the games in which
local college foot ball teams
engage tomorrow will be
~ played here. Georgetown and
Catholic University remain on
their own fields, the former against
Lebanon Valley and the latter against
Villa Nova, while George Washington,
Gallaudet, American University and
MARYLAND are away
Gallaudet goes to Lafayette. American
University to Annapolis to face St
Johns. Maryland to Columbia to meet
South Carolina and George Washington
to Easton to engage Lafayette.
Georgetown. unless some big upset
occurs. should win by a considerable
margin But Catholic University will
have its troubles. although it feels that
1t has fair chance.
Georgetown is far too good for
Lebanon Valley to be given anything
like an even play against it. Lou Little S
team has been coming along gradually
and is reaching form that will make
it exceedingly difficult for any eleven to
take 1t into camp.
BroOklanders Are Hopeful.
Catholic University on the contrary.
Is weaker than it was last season and
on the basis of past performances might
hold Villa Nova to a low score. How
ever. there seems to be feeling out at
Brooklyn that the Cardinals may win
despite the apparently greater strength
of the visiting college.
George Washington, unless it is in
much better physical condition than is
now apparent from reports, will take
beating at the hands of Lafayette. La
fayette simply has one of the best
elevens in the East, while George
Washington, even at its best, could
hardly be considered up to that stand
ard, and with several of its best play
ers on the sidelines on account of in
juries it is not in shape to do as we'll
as it might have done otherwise.
American University also will be
against better team when it plays st.
Johns at Annapolis and probably will
lose by two or three touchdowns.
Old Liners Face Task.
Maryland is to go against another
tough proposition in South Carolina
Eouti1 Carolina has two wonderfully
fine backs in Zobel and Wimberly. A
good deal of South Cardinals offense
is based on playing one of these backs
through the line through quick open
1ngs and also through throwing passes,
largely to Zobel.
In the Virginia game last Saturday
Zobel never failed to run back punts
anywhere from 20 to 80 yards and ran
one back so yards for a touchdown.
He also caught one forward pass for
touchdown and seems to be exceedingly
clever in a broken field at any time
when he has the ball in his arms.
Maryland won from South Carolina
last year decisively, but knows it is
against much more capable combina-
tion tomorrow. But, even so, and de-
spite South Cardinals 6-to-0 victory
over Chicago and 24-to-l3 victory over

~ ALIAS, Tex, october 12.-Long
after the present pecan crop
has ripened and been har-
IL vested will the IS members of
the Southern Methodist Uni
versity foot ball squad which made the
trip to West Point remember in vivid
detail their invasion of the North.
1T was all right" said Ray Morrison,
the coach, except we don't play such
a grueling defense down in these parts.
We are a little milder down here, l
reckon. But our boys were quick to
learn and they now know more about
defense which is really an attack than
they did. But If we express our knowl-
edge in future games I don't reckon
We'll be so popular in these parts.
THE trip" he went on, was valuable
in many other ways, but I should say
about once in every four or five years
is enough for long distance invasion.
We showed the North that real foot
ball is played in the Southwest, and
that was the main thing. The Army
crowd was very sportsmanlike and
everything about our reception and the
attitude of the spectators was thor
oughly fine."
Morrison admitted he was mighty
glad to get his team safely back to
Texas. He was not referring to the
foot ball game, but to the adventures
of the players, who after the contest, it
seems, went down to New York and did
the metropolis quite thoroughly.
Six of the men, including the back
field, went to a night club after the
theater. 1t was great fun. The bill
came, and not even eagles run caused
greater CONSERVATION. Among other
items was convert charge of SIS per
foot ball player-$30 in all. And the
sum total of cash possessed by the
, dismayed Texans did not attain the
sum of $50
