~ HICAGO, December Coach
Dick Hanley of Northwestern
is actually looking forward
with pleasure to q charity foot
ball game-the annual East-West con-
test at San Francisco for the Shriners
Crippled Childrens Hospital fund New
Year day.
Charity games cost Northwestern an
undisputed claim to the Big Ten title
this season when Purdue knocked the
Wildcats over last week, along with
about $4,000 in cash. The latter loss
was marked up when the attendance
at the Northwestern otre Dame game
at Soldier Field failed to fulfill ex-
pectations, reducing the Wildcats share
OF the receipts to around $4,000.
Northwestern already had advanced
100000 to Gov. Emmerson's relief
fund, and had expected to make it up
out Of the contest.
Hanley will issue invitations Sun
day to Midwest stars to play against
coast and Far West aces in the Shrine
following: Marchmont Schwartz, half
back, and Nordy Hoffman, guard, from
Notre Dame; Bill Hewitt, end and full
back, and Maynard Morrison, center
OF Michigan; Charles Miller, center
and Jim Purvis, halfback, from Purdue;
Jack Riley and Dial Marvil tackles,
from Northwestern; Bob Houbrich,
tackle, from Ohio State, and Clearance
Mum, guard, from Minnesota. Andy
Kerr, Colgate's coach, will select eleven
men from the East to band with Han
ley's selections.
Michigan yesterday elected Ivan Will
Hanson Of Bowling Green, Ohio, an
an-Big Ten end, to lead its 1882 eleven,
and Northwestern will announce its
captain for next week at the annual
banquet Saturday night. Ernest Pug"
Rentner, one of the countrys great
est backs is expected to be elected.
Illinois elected Gil Berry, halfback,
last week, and Ohio State named Lew
Hinchman, all-Big Ten halfback.

H0YA SOPHOMORES
AND FRESHMEN GRID
Yearlings Struggle Tuesday for
Right to Discard Caps.
Dubofsky a Coach.

Freshmen and Sophomore of George
town University are preparing enthusi-
astically for their annual foot ball
game, known as the Battle of Caps"
Tuesday afternoon in Griffith Stadium
at 2 o'clock.
A victory for the yearlings would
enable them to discard the hated skull
caps, while Soph win will mean that
the said caps must continue to be
worn. Last year the Sophs, led by
Ray Hudson and Jim Patterson, won
an uphill battle, Is to IL.
Mush Dubofsky, varsity captain this
year, is coaching the Sophs and Frank
kersjes is tutoring the Frosh.
Injuries will keep some of the eligi-
BILE Sophs out of the game, including
Tommy Carolan, Nick Viscovitch, Mack
Stanley and Johnny Shimmins, and it
is likely that the upper classmen will
start about like this Murphy and
ORourke, ends; Konopka and Joe
katalinas, tackles; Hosey and Durandi,
guards; Callahan, center Kennedy,
quarterback; Carpenter, left halfback;
Small, right halfback, and Trump,
fullback.
Coach Kersjes has not decided the
freshmen lineup, but it probably will
be about the same as recently faced
the Western Maryland yearlings.

INVITATION HANGS
ON SATURDAY TILT
Big Score Likely to Clinck
New Year Day Assignment
for Green Wave.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

n IEW YORK, December a
NJ The Washington State
i Y Cougars of 1881 are not
the all-conquering outfit
that swept through to a Pacific
Coast Conference championship
last year, but there may be
strength enough left to give
Tulane at least few uneasy mo-
ments at New Orleans on Satur-
day.
This is a pivotal clash SO far az
Tulane is concerned, for if the Southern
Conference title holders can chalk uu
decisive victory over the far West
erners they are almost certain to be in
vited to battle Southern California in
the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena New
Year day.
THE yard-stick by which Tulane's
l. right to Rose Bowl invitation
may be measured is the 38-to-s
trouncing Washington State accepted
from Southern California in the second
week of October. If the Green Wave
can run up score approximating that
count an invitation to Pasadena in saIl
likelihood will be forthcoming.
In the matter of records, which, OF
course, mean absolutely nothing as COM
parsons since they were compiled in
different sections of the country, Tulane
can boast of an indicated season so
far and an undisputed Southern Con-
ference title.
Washington State, on the other hand.
has absorbed beatings from Southern
California, California and Washington.
The Cougars six victories have been
achieved over College of Idaho, Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles, Mon
t2na, Oregon State, Idaho and Gonzaga.
WTHILE Tulane is trying to earn its
w invitation to the Far West, South
ern California, already nominated
as that sections representative in the
Rose Bowl game, will try to clinch the
Pacific Coast Conference title by whip
ping Washington
Since it took 1877 beating from st.
Marys of Oakland in the opening game
Of the season, Southern California has
turned back in succession Oregon State,
Washington State, Oregon, California,
Stanford, Montana and Notre Dame.
The Trojans will be heavy favorites over
Washington, which, in the conference,
has twice been beaten, by oregon and
California, and one tied by Stanford.

Heavy Loss of Stars of 1880

Alabama this year.
year ago, dug down in their reserve
supply for requirements for those stars
who were graduated last June, and re-
turned to the gridiron wars strong
enough to retain their high positions.
Coaches Bob Neyland at Tennessee,
Frank Thomas at Alabama and Bernie
Bierman at Tulane will admit they had
the material, but history shows that few
teams can lose their main cogs and
come back the following season with
another great winning eleven.
Bobby Dodd, one of the greatest quar-
terbacks the South has ever known;
Buddy Hackman, an all Southern half
back Hug and Brandt, two fine ends;
Thayer, captain and guard, and other
lesser lights finished their three years
of varsity play with Tennessee after the
Florida game last December.
But the volunteers have come through
this year unbeaten and tied only by
Kentucky. Derry Berry and Reyburn
took over the end positions, McEver
and Feathers replaced Dodd and Hack
man in the backfield and several excel
lent inemen were found.
4 LABAMA lost 10 of its first II
II varsity players, but Frank Thomas
took the second team of 1880, in
serted a few sophomores and reserves,
introduced the Notre Dame system and
lost only one game, to Tennessee, in
early season.

denger, one of the best guards; Nc
Canse, a tackle, and Holland, an end

but Bierman had the requirements. His
backfield was virtually intact, Haynes
proved to be one of the best ends in
Dixie, Lodrigues did good job at CEN
ter, and the line probably was even
stronger than in 1880.
Injuries and ineligibility of players
ruined the conference season for Florida
and North Carolina. Wallace Wade's
first year at Duke was not whooping
success although the Blue Devils won
three, tied one and lost three of their
conference contests and beat Villa Nova
in intersectional combat.

" WASHINGTON foot ball
W. fans seem suddenly to
v have become aware that
a wow of a battle is to
be fought Saturday in Griffith
Stadium. Not until the last sew
eral days was the Presidents Cup
game between the Quantico Ma
rine and United States Coast
Guard elevens given a real tumble.
Now it appears the annual service
clash will be one of the years
smartest grid shows, both from
the standpoint of f1rst-class play
and attendance.
For the first time in the history of
the Presidents Cup, the Marines will
be distinct underdogs. The Coast
Guards undefeated team has given
display of power equaling that of any
college eleven in the East, and its ace
back, Les Maynard, is acclaimed gen.
orally of all-America worth. Last year
the Leatherneck'S won, TO O, and, in
spite of the Guards shining record for
1881, are not peSsimiStic over Satur

his team will give its strongest per-
Torrance of the campaign.

foot ball fans will go to Baltimore

This time Maryland viii be IA

Byrd has given more attention to prep

for big majority of opponents. Yarns
ernanating from Westminster to the
hit by injuries are totally discounted at
College Park The Terrapins intend
to take no chances with this one.
WITH the ticket sale already beyond
Wv the $1,000 mark, it appears an at
tendance record for the season will
be established by the game December
IL in which the Crimson Tide of Ala
bama will meet George Washington,
Catholic University and Georgetown.
The advance sale already has taken
care of all expenses with much to spare.
There will be no change from the
original scale Of prices. Yesterday was
the last of the bargain days on which
a half-dollar reduction was given pm all
tickets. From now until game time the
prices will be $3.50 for box seats, 50 for
reserved and $3.50 for general admis-
sion. The pasteboards may be obtained
at Griffith Stadium and at Spalding's.
No choice seats have been held out
and are going first come, first served"

DECLINES 10 PER CENT
Championship Teams, However,
Show Substantial Increase Over
Figures of Last Year.

NEW YORK, December college
foot ball attendance, on the basis of
Nationwide reports to the Associated

cent for the 1881 season, as compared
with last year, despite evidence of its
continued great popularity.
The falling off was widespread and
accompanied by an even sharper de-
cline in gate receipts, where the re-
duction of admission prices also was
factor. But plenty of testimony is
at hand that the sporting public still
loves a winner and will pay to see one.
