'GRID|RON TITLES AT
STAKE AS SECTIONAL
|. RIVALSRENEW WARS
Tulane a "Hot" Favorite to
Capture LaureIs in South
ern Conference
THREE BIG TEN CONTESTS
Weather Conditions Expected
to Keep Many Fans Away
From Games

New York, Nov. 28-R-Sectional
titles in the midwest, south and
southwest hung in the balance Sat-
urday as football fans prepared for
the last big charge of the season.
In the south, Tulane was "hot"
favorite to turn back Louisiana State,
capture the Southern Conference
crown outright and perhaps earn the
right to meet Southern California in
the Rose Bowl game New Years day.
Northwestern, like Tulane, unbeat-
en-, marched out to confront Purdue
in the feature battle Of the Big Tens
charity slate. The Wildcats were ia
vored to whip Purdue and clinch the
Big Ten championship but a close con-
test was in prospect.
Texas Christian was the last hurdle
Southern Methodist needed to vault
to capture the Southwest Conference
title and the consensus was the Mus
tangs would clear it.
These were the only three games
that had direct bearing on sectional
title hopes but there were many 9TH
ers of as much, If not more, general
interest. In the east, Army and
Notre Dame were matched in their
annual clash at the Yankee stadium,
New York Stanford's Indians squared
off against Dartmouth at Cambridge:
Detroit played Georgetown: and Wes.
Virginia met Washington & jefferson
in a charity game.
Prolonged for one week for charity
the Western Conference football sea-
son reached both it's end and climax.
At Soldier Field. Chicago, North
western, which would have had a
clear title to the championship and
no more work to do, in prosperous
times, had an engagement with Pur-
due. The title, or at least share Of
it, was at stake, for Purdue victory
would give both teams standing OF
five victories and one defeat.
Not only that, but Michigan, In the
event of Northwestern defeat could
tie for the top position by beating
Wisconsin at Ann Arbor, and Ohio
State would rate a cut, by downing
Minnesota at Minneapolis.
Northwestern was a mild favorite
over Purdue, Michigan was the choice
over Wisconsin. while Minnesota and
Cs,io were doped to present great
BE- tile which either could win.
All monies taken In at the game
other than enough to cover expenses
were to go to the unemployment re-
lief funds in the seven states having
representation in the Big Ten. Due
to the weather conditions, the crowds
were not expected to reach the num-
bers anticipated when the games were
scheduled.

SPORT SLANTS
BY ALAN GOULD

If they didn't know it before, the
New York Giants now can point to
at least one good, substantial reason
for acquiring Sam Gibson, right
handed pitching star of the San
Francisco Seals, for 1882 delivery
Gibson, according to the official
averages just published for the Pa
cific Coast League, led all the sharp
shooters with an earned run allow
ance Of only 2.48 runs per nine in
ming game. Gibson won q games
and lost IL for a percentage of ZOO.
This was not quite as good as the
winning record of Frank Shellen-
back, Hollywood spitball artist, who
contributed ~ victories as against
only defeats, but Shellenback's s
earned run figure was 2.85. placing
him second among the regulars.
Gibson also led the league in strike
outs, with 204, his nearest rival in
this respect being Win Ballou of Los
Angeles with 160. He pitched 81 COM
plete games, indicating his arm has
fully recovered from the ailment that
cut short his major league carer, and
issued only 50 passes

To Resist BoiIermakers of Pur.
due at Soldier Field in
Chicago

Chicago. Nov. 28.-(P-Northwest
ern's Wildcats came to Soldier Field
Saturday seeking to reaffirm, by a
victory over Purdue, their right to
the western conference football cham
pionship, and to strike blow for
charity.
But for the depression and con-
sequent need for aiding the unem-
ployed, Northwestern would have
won a clear title to the championship
by defeating Iowa last week. How
ever, a schedule of games for char
ity, made possible by suspending one
of the conferences most rigid rules
that limiting teams to eight games
each Season-made it necessary for
Northwestern to risk it's unmarried
record against the powerful Boiler
makers.
Because of predicated rain and fog
not more than 10000 were expected
to watch the struggle.

Dobie Not Gloomy
Sports editors have "A lot to an
swer for in the way Of creating
myths writes L. c. Hodgson, page
one columnist of the st. Paul Dis
patch. II always laugh when I see
the headline about Gloomy Gill
Dobie. Having been born in the same
town with him, having eaten with
him, slept with him, stolen water
melons with him and known him like a
brother. I am amused when they tell
he is gloomy. He has the somewhat
reluctant optimism of the true Scot
but his heart is the laughingest in
strument I ever met up with and he
could not be pessimistic If he tried. .
Maybe that was before Gil was
obliged to play his students on the
football teams at Cornell university
where his pessimism blossomed into
flower.

China Plans First
Good Roads Exhibit

SHANGHAI. June 25.-China will
tional good roads conference, opsning
September IL, at Shanghai, with $50
delegates from various parts of China
and so representatives from foreign
countries. A total attendance of 100.-
600 is expected, with visitors from all
parts Of the world. The exhibition is
sponsored by the national, provincial
and municipal authorities and leading
banking, financial. industrial and edu-
cational institutions.
Since the founding of the National
Good Roads Association of China ~
years ago China'S total road mileage has
increased from 500 to IS 900 miles. In
1921 China had only 1900 milss of
roads and most Of those were situated
in the treaty ports under foreign juris-
diction. BY the end of 1925 this mile
age had been increased to $4,000, the
Good Roads Association having done
much to encourage road building. The
association since 1922 has published a
monthly magazine and from time to
time has compiled many volumes on
good roads building and maints nance.
The government at Marking three
years ago adopted a comprehensive plan
for the development of national, provin-
SAoA oAo siuunlclpal highways, OUT cue
to the intermittent disorder that has
prevailed in various parts Of the country
the scheme in its entirety has not been
realized. Two years ago Kwangsi Prov
ince built network Of provincial roads
linking the principal cities, and bus
lines were established. But during the
last year and half the province has
been In constant state of disorder and
roads have besn allowed to fall into dis
repair.
The good roads exhibition will award
medals for first. second and third prizes
and certificates of exhibition to all cx.
hibitorS.
The exhibition will include road
building machinery. highway material
and testing and laboratory equipment.

times down to the present. It has been
diversity based not simply upon geo.
graphic and economic factors, but even
upon such elements as fundamental diff
ferences in language-Csstilian, Cata-
lonian BaSque-aS well as extreme va
riationS in dialects. The problem of
unity has, therefore, been peculiarly
difficult and should make the outside
world all the more patient and consid-
crate in appraising the progress made
by the new government.
The obstacle of this "Separatism," or
"regionalism," as the Spaniatds call it,
manifested itself at the very beginning
Of the colonial settlements in the New
World. The Basque sailors of Columbus
fleet, on landing at Santo Domingo. in
sisted upon the recc ignition of their
ancient ''fueroS" or local charters of
liberty. and similar declarations were
evident among other settlers as they set
up local governments in various parts
of the Americas.
UnificatiOn Important.
Efforts toward unification are. there
fore, among the first items on the pro-
gram of the new Spanish government.
To the development of public works,
which Is bound to have a large part in
such a program, American enterprise
may well make substantial contribu-
lions, through aid in the improvement
OF road systems, through the extension
of the already we'll established telephone
service and through the further ampli-
fication of airways throughout the Pc
ninSula
But Spain will be by no means de-
pendent exclusively upon outside help in
these important matters. In the field
OF aeronautics, for sexample, we have
only to recall that Juan de la Cierva
by his invention of the autogiro made
tant contribution in that whole field
since the first experiments by the
WrightS, Langley and Curtiss.
Diversity, indeed, permeateS all parts
of Spanish civiliza tion-its history, cul-
ture, political institutions and economic
background. And that Is precisely what
makes the land and its people so in
tenSely interesting. I know Of no Old
World country which gives quite such
an impression Of genuineneSs, Is so
nearly devoid of the artificialities of
tourist bait" so authentic-which Is
more than can be said Of many other
better known hauntS of travellers in the
Old World. Everywhere throughout the
country one encounters this same ele-
ment of contrast, which recent political
events have stressed so wildly; the
close proximity of the old to the new,
the latest evidences of the machine age
opposite customs end structures that
existed before the caravels Of Columbus
sailed west from PaloS.
Most emphatically is there nothing to
verify the casual impressions of the I'M
informed that Spain has "deteriorated.'
Very much to the contrary! The intel
ligent traveller, and especially the one
who gets away from better known tour
ist sights, gets Enthusiastically the i'm

Canada Allows Servants
To Accompany Tourists

OTTAWA.-Reports that Canada is
forbidding domestics to accompany
American travellers into the Dominion
are secuted by w. A. Gordon, Canadian
minister of immigration and colonial
ton.
Statements circulated in the United
States that servants Of American tour
lists and visitors are not being allowed
to enter Canada this year are abso-
lutely untrue" says Mr.. Gordon.
Americans have always been allowed
to bring their servants and they may
continue to do so.
THE only persons likely to find diff
ficulty in crossing the international
boundary are aliens residing in the
United States Illegally or under tenn
porary status, as the question of their
readmission into the United States
would arise should they try to return.
