LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19.-For the
hrst time since Southern California
and Notre Dame opened their inter-
Sectional rivalry, enthusiastic native
IONS will not be down hook, line
and sinker on the Trojans Satur-
day.
There is very little Southern Cali
tornia money here abouts for the
South Bend meeting and such as
there is only comes out under such
persuasion as II, Is and IA points
pr more.
This unusual situation apparently
results from the scorching the Tro-
an hackers took last year when
the local team lost to the Irish, q
TO 0.
Offhand, there seems to be no
more reason to demand two or three
Iouchdowns this year than there
vas to make the Trojans 10 to 8
favorites last fall
Southern California takes an i'm
mensely powerful team into action
Saturday. 1t has a great offense
hs shown by its 53-to-0 win over
Oregon. It's defense has been so
good that only three times has it's
goal been crossed, twice by st.
Mary's via the forward pass route
and once by Washington State
through the line.
Although defeated in its first
ltart, Is to 7, by st. Marys, it now
seems superior to last years eleven
and it has practically clinched the
coast conference championship.
Southern California and Notre
Dame have met five times. On three
occasions, in 1926. '27 and 90, the
irish won by single point. In 1928
the Trojans turned in a 27-to-14
victory. Last year, Notre Dame
won, n to 0.
On their form this year and the
history of the rivalry, Notre Dame
should win Saturdays contest, but
both teams should score.
Working behind a new shift,
Mohler, Shaver, Pinckert and Bar
Der ought to give Notre Danes de-
Tense an exciting afternoon, and
Baker, Rosenberg and Williamson

Old Leader
Hickey Is Reelected Chief
for 0ne-Year Term at
Chicago.
BIZ Tim es Special

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-After a lively
struggle, Thomas ]. Hickey was re-
elected president of the American
Association here late Wednesday,
but only for a one-year term, which
was seen as a compromise with the
factions opposing the veteran lead
er's regime. Hickey has been the
chief of the big minor circuit for
many years.
William E. Clauer, Indianapolis,
and George Belden, Minneapolis,
were candidates against Hickey. In
the voting on Tuesday it is said
Belden received four votes and
Hickey four. On Wednesday the
deadlock continued, with Clauer re-
ceiving four votes and Hickey the
same number, reports indicated.
Milwaukee, Kansas City, Indian
apolis and Toledo represented
Hickey's support and his foes were
unable to break the ranks.
Seeing no chance to end the
deadlock, the four other clubs, Min
neapolis, st. Paul, Columbus and
Louisville, agreed to permit Hickey
to stay in Office, and it was an
nounced as a gesture toward har-
mony that the veteran had been re-
elected by unanimous vote.
A committee of two members was
appointed by the league to 60 to
Toledo to attempt an arrangement
with bondholders of the Toledo
baseball club for ten-year lease of
the Toledo park.

BOWIE, Md, Nov. 10. - The

against the alleged promoters of
fraudulent races at the recent

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Nov. 49,
One of the most brilliant rivaIries,
although one of the shortest, in
football, will be renewed here Sat
urday when Notre Dame tangles
with Southern California, starting
at 100. Five times since 1926 the
midwestern and Pacific coast lead
ers have battled for supremacy.
With two back field stars already
on the injured list, Coach Hunk
Anderson has cancelled intensive
scrimmage for the Irish this week.
The Notre Dame mentor still hopes
to have George MelinkoVich, injured
full back star, in shape for the Tro-
jan test, as well as Mike Koken, the
speedy left half back, who has out
gained Marchy Schwartz, the regu-
lar for whom he is understudy.
In Wednesdays workout, the re-
serves employed U. S. c. plays
against the varsity in a dummy
scrimmage, but there was no tao
king and little bodily contact.
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 19.-Thirty-
five grid warriors from Southern
California continued their trip to
Notre Dame today.
In preparation for the gridiron
classic with the South Bend eleven
on Saturday, the Trojans worked
out here Wednesday and Coach
Howard Jones tried a few important
changes in his lineup.
Johnny Baker, the great guard,
was moved out to end to pair with
Garrett Arbelbide, the all-America
wingman. Erny Smith held down
a guard assignment, with Aaron
Rosenberg on the other side and
Captain Stan Williamson was at
center. Bob Erskine was moved from
half back to tackle, where he was
paired with Ray Brown.
Defense was the main object in
Wednesdays drill, and Coach Jones
indicated the same program would
be followed today in the workout
at Hutchinson, Kan. The Troians
will stage their final drill at Stage
field, Chicago, Friday.

ARIZONA TAKES
UP SEARCH FOR
BROOKS GIRL
Asserted To Have Been
Seen Near Tacna And
WelltOn

PHOENIX, Feb. 18. U.P)-A state
wide search for alleged kidnapers
started today after it was reported
that Virginia Brooks, 10-year old
San Diego girl who has been miss
ing for a week, was seen in southern
Arizona.
Blake Mason, San Diego deputy
sheriff who is here directing the
search, expressed the opinion that
the persons sought had evaded au-
thorities in southern Arizona and
were now enroute to or hiding in
the northern part of the state.
Northern Arizona sheriffs were
requested to guard all roads and
word from Flagstaff, seat of Coco
nino county, said that this was be-
ing done.
The Arizona phase of the hunt
started when a waitress at Tacna,
near the California border, said she
saw a girl resembling Virginia with
a group of tourists held up by floods
last week in the vicinity Of Tacna
and Wellton. She recognized the
child later, she said, from pictures
published in newspapers
Reports came from Wellton also
that the child had been seen dur
ing floods which blocked, highway
traffic Saturday and Sunday. The
reports conflicted, however. The
Tacna information said the girl Is
companion was an elderly man while
word from Wellton had it that she
was accompanied by two men.
1t was Mason who brought word
of the Tacna and Wellton clues to
Phoenix. He said he had inter-
viewed those who claim they saw
the child.
If the girl had been kidnapped and
is in Arizona, it is not likely that
The kidnapers will evade officers as
all roads in this state merge into
general through highways and every
highway crossing the state line Is
under guard. In addition, officers
are stationed at highway junction
points throughout the state.
Another factor is that it is toe

Wheat Kept In

CHICAGO, Feb, 18. W.p)-An un-

that grain fluctuating in narrow
range on the board of trade today
with the average lower but closed
steady. Winnipeg sold off after be-
ing higher early and this with the
favorable view expressed in the gov
ernment's weather report was too
much for the market. Foreign news
was rather bullish and helped off,
set the domestic bearishness. Corn
was firm early but eased slightly on
a smaller shipping demand, closing
lower. Oats were erratic with corn
and wheat.
AT the close old wheat was un-
changed to sc lower, new wheat was
unchanged, corn was 9s to sc lower
and oats were Is to sc higher. Pro-
visions were easy. March wheat old
closed at 1915. corn old at .e2is and
cats old at .37%.
