TODAY'S SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

"Why don't you print more
baseball news in your paper?'
There's q question we've
lodged, evaded, side-stepped and
otherwise treated as diplomati-
cally as possible for the last
month.
AS a matter of truth there
isn't any baseball news.
The magnates are responsible
for this. It seems to have be-
come their custom to play dead
dog each fall until the football
fever Is out Of the public's
system
Perhaps they are wise to let
the people Starve for baseball
a little while. until the gridiron
has had its fling. Baseball'S
moguls know the appetite for
baseball will be all the greater
as this football busin ess
stretches out toward the end
which is only around the
corner.
Then there'll be plenty Of
baseball gossip seeping through
the news sieve just as soon
as they deflate those footballs
in fact it is starting to leak
through already.
We notice where Bucky
Harris says that he hopes to
use Mark Koenig in the infield
regularly next season, even If
he has to put glasses on him
to keep him there. Marks
value as a regular hitter Is
greater to the Tigers than his
possible value as a pitcher, de-
spite the speed he showed in
his trial in the box.

. fast ball in q game up in
PhiIIie. A hard-headed young
fellow, Del prOfessed himself
to be in the pink after he
regained consciousness and
was back in the game the
next day and for many sue.
cesSive days thereafter.
However, SWeetland'S pitch ag-
gravated a budding sinus condi-
ton that needed only a little en-
couragement to practically ruin
Bissonette's batting average for
the year. Del stuck the. season
out and submitted his skull to
the carving of the surgeons only
last December. There was an
operation for the sinus condition,
an operation for maStoids, an
other for a splintered bone in the
side of his head, behind his right
ear where the pitch that hit him
had caused an unSuSpected frac-
ture. Del spent more than two
months in the hospital, believing
more than once that he'd cash in
his chips. When he was finally
released along about February l,
he hadn't much more strength
than a rabbit.
The time was short and Del
hadn't regained anything like his
normal strength when he plunged
headlong into the wracking 1880
campaign of the Brooklyn team.
All last summer he kept playing
ball with the wound in the side
of his head still open, a fresh
bandage that looked like a cigar
cite stuck behind his ear at a
iauntY angle and forgotten.

CAMB r IDGE, Nov. 90
Charley Devens, Harvard's right
halfback, will not play against
Yale, it was determined today.

amplifiers installed during the
latter part Of the 1880 baseball
season.
President Clark Griffith, Of
the Washington club, also has
announced that lively musical
strains win be offered be-
tween halves.
AS an extra added attraction,
Athletic Director Dutch Bergman,
of Catholic University, is ne

popular local band.
In otner words, this game, al

At least two local scholastic
football coaches are worthy Of any
tribute accorded them.

Northwestern has nothing more
to look forward to and can give
their last burst Of enthusiasm,
trick plays. and whatnot.
Rockne'S men met an uneX-
pected show Of strength against
brakes Bulldogs and the first
string eleven emerged with In
juries which have proven more
serious than any received in the
Pitt or Pennsylvania struggles.
For this reason there has been
no Scrimmage in the Irish camp
this week, nor will there be.
The NOtre Dame mentor
has concentrated his efforts
ON building up = strong pass
defense to halt the heaves Of
Rruder and HanIey to Baker,
Northwestern end and scoring
ace Of the Big Ten.
The Wildcats have proven to
be a hard-blocking, fast charging
crew this year, with two power
full tackles, Marvil and Oliphant,
who are expected to cause
Rockne's Shift-offense much
trouble. Rockne's hip-hip-and-
away offense delegates the end
to take out the defensive tackle
alone.
Maybe the Irish ends can dc
it and if they can't it will be
too bad for MeSSrs. Rockne,
Carideo, Brill, Conley and the
rest.
NorthweStern'5 superior strength
told heavily on Wisconsin in the
second half last Saturday and the
Badgers line was not considered
weak, nor puny. Rockne saw ali
this as o spectator and, the boys
say, he Squirmed somewhat un-
easily.
The Washington times., 1930-11-20

It will be nc second-rate affair,
this fight between the Wildcats
and the fighting Irish who have
become the football wonder Of
the country.
In fact it Is q battle that to
all intents involves the mythical
national football championship,
for Northwestern has gone
through a hard season undefeated
and with the Western Conference
crown in its possession while
Notre Dame has met and con-
quered some Of the sweetest
teams in the country.
AS the two aggregations draw
closer to Saturday afternoons
kickoff the gloom grows thicker
in the camp of Knute Rockne

c. j. SCHEDULES
VILLA NOVA

Having already lined up BoS-
ton College, Western Maryland,
New York University and Du-
queSne for 1881, Georgetown Uni
versity today definitely added
Villa Nova to its schedule. The
game is to be played in Philadel-
phia November 81.
The Hoyas. are angling for one
more home game before announc-
ing their schedule. It is possible
that an attractive intersectional
contest win be arranged.
There is still some hope Of
booking West Virginia for
the annual Homecoming tilt.
Should il be impossible to
list the MOuntaineerS some
other club will be scheduled.
Though his team figures to
be outWeighed by a substantial
margin Coach Tommy Mills is
inclined to be optimistic regard
ing his eleven's chances against
Villa Nova Saturday.
Thoroughly satisfied with the
progress of his backfield Mills
too is enthusiastic over the i'm
provement of his forward wall
which completely outplayed New
York University Saturday.
Only one casualty Of any
consequence resulted from
that game. Halfback Bull
Maczees checked in with an
injury and may not be avail
able for the villa Nova clash.
It is hoped that Halfback Emil
Bozek, who failed to crash Sat
urday's lineup, will be able to
participate in either the Villa
Nova or Detroit game.

to this. The negotiations are now

on the deportation OF Guido Serio
to fascist Italy has been secured by
Carol Weiss King, attorney for the
International Labor Defense, after

This stay stops the deportation for

although we probably can delay the
deportation of Serio to Italy through
an appeal, the workers have learned
through their experience with the
boss class courts that only mass &C
tivities on part of organized working
