TICKET SALE FOR
 GAME VERY LARGE
Gate Passes S60O,000 Mark for
 Army and Navy Battle

New York, Dec. 2 C11 - Ticket sales for tho benefit football game between the Army and Navy at the Yankee stadium Saturday had pass ed the $600000 mark today and it still was hoped the receipts would reach or exceed $1.000.0dU.
 Grover Whalen, chairman Of the committee sponsoring the contest which is to aid the uncn1loyed, an nounced that 17.0o0 Of the SO.000 tickets still remained to be sold. He expressed confidence that they would be disposed of within the next two days.
 Stimulating the sale more than any other one factor was Navy's spectacular triumph over Pennsyl- vania al Philadelphia last Saturday. The Midshipmen revealed unsUspcct- cd power on the attack in that game and all predictions Of an easy Army victory have been tossed overheard. Prospects now are for closely con- tested game that may be decided by one break"
 Army has much the better rec ord losing only to Notre Dame by a one point margin and getting no better than tie with Yale. Navy, on the other hand. vas trounced by Notre Dame, 26-2, and lost 70 Duke, Ohio State and Eouthern Methodist as we'll

The Quakers Were baffled by the rugged Navy defense and Gaenon, Kirn and Hurley gain ground almost at will through Penn's defcnses. The Army, on the other hand, pointed for the Notre Dame contest and then broke training for three Clys to keep from going stale. The coaches at West Point have the difficult task of building up the tc m again 10 the high point of efficiency it reached against Rockne's mighty array.

League Standing

Win or lose tonight at the Tabs hall, the Russwin and Gascos quin- tets are ready for a hard battle. This will be the first time this year that these two combinations have met and tonight will be no exception to the general rule which states that anytime these two meet it means d battle. The rivalry between them is intnse and it will be sure to crop out tonight.
 The Gascos have been placed as the tavorites in tonights game be- cause of the teams showing against the Corbin Screw quintet last week. Another reason for this favoritism IS the fact that the Russwin quintet has been playing far below stand ard so far this year However. in it's game against the Stanley Works team last Friday. the RussWins dis played some of their real form and the Gascos will have just as hard a battle tonight as they did against the Screw Shop d week ago Friday.
 This contest will be the third in tue thifS- EdlILt prog laul IuF tHS night.
 COrbin Screw will attempt to keep up its winning streak against Lan- durs when the two meet in the sec ond game. The Screw Shop players tlGure the Landers team rather as a s"tup but they may get the surprise Of their individual lives. The Uni vers&ls came through for their first win over the NewmatiCs last week and they have plenty of reserve strength for the Screw shop tonight. There are many who are expecting an upset.
 The first game of the night will bring the CorDin Cabinet Lock quintet against the Fafnir team. This will be q sweet battle in itself and should be a good forerunner of what is to follow.
 The first contest will start prompt ly at 7;30 o'clock.

 ID TALK BUSINESS
Major League Club Owners Are Holding Meetings in New York

| New York, Dec. LP - Major i league club owners having spent the first day of the annual midwinter meetings in high-powered conversa- 1 ton, there was hope, at least among the war correspondents" that they might get down to business today
 Meetings of both the National and : American Leagues were on todays program.
 l When all was said and done yes- torday it took the time-Worn draft question to provide the only excite ment of the day.
 The committee of nine appointed by the three Class A non draft l leagues - American Association, h. ternational and Pacific Coast i Leagues announced they had been invited 10 confer on the draft ques- tion with a committee representing the National and American Leagues at the Hotel Roosevelt tomorrow morning.
 Efforts to hold an informal con- ference between the opposing groups yesterday went 10 naught when the major leagues failed to gather to- gether quorum. The majors have discontinued all business dealings with the five non-draft leagues, the three Class A circuits and the Western and Three Eye leagues un- til they accept the draft. This the non draft organizations are prepar- cd to do. but the rival groups have been unable to agree on terms. They may do so at tomOrrow's conference or later in the week but baseball men generally were of the opinion that settlement of the dispute was only a question of time.
 Just who the majors will send in to the conference probably will be decided at the individual league meetings today but it seemed safe 10 hazard a guess that the represent atives would be club owners and that neither President John A. Heydlor of the National League nor President Ernest s. Barnard of the American League would join the conferees.
 NfIt were liiiIltdlloli9 Allrt 'ii- Chicago Cubs soon would dispose of their franchise at Reading, Pa. Tn the International League. The Cubs announced at Montreal that the Reading franchise was on the mar ket and yesterday, al an lnternauon- al League meeting, il vas announced that a irrespective buyer" was un- der consideration and that the mat ter probably would be settled defi- nitely tomorrow. There was no lntI- nation as 10 who the prospective buyer was,
 Incidentally it became known that the International League has adopt cd d salary limit, d new wrinkle Tn baseball management. Under this regulation, clubs are given defi- mite limit on the amount of money each may spend in salaries. Just what that limit is no one was will ing to say.
 The draft, the lively ball and per haps chain-store baseball were the principal foods the magnates were to digest today.

Evenly Matched Junior Church League Teams to Meet at ~

The Trinity Methodist and St. Marks Episcopal teams will meet in the first and probably the better Of the two games on the Inter-Church Basketball league card at the Y. M. C.

The St. Marks, by virtue Of their win ever the Center church last week. are now in third place with two wins and a loss, while the Metho- dists have one victory and two de- feats on their record. This means little. as the Methodist team has played stronger teams than it's op- p0nents of the evening, and 6 furi- ous battle with odds even is predict cd tonight

 Next week will sec the First Lutherans facing the Center Congre- gational team. while the St. Marks and south Congrs eationaI teams will come together. The first round will be concluded and the second round begun the following Tuesday night.

Twenty years Of age, eight and one-half inches over five feet, and weighing l6D pounds, Wykoff gives all impression that he would be a bear at the junior prom or in the University Drama club.

 The possible leg trouble vas q reference 10 a kici; by q horse last fall. resulting in fracture.
 Wykof Is majoring in physical educa,ion and is q good student.
