BIC TEN ENDS
GRID SEASON

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-The West
ern Conference football season
comes to an end today with the
undefeated Michigan team pitted
against Northwestern here at
Evanston in battle that will de-
eide whether the Wolverines will
take their fourth consecutive title.
Two interSectional contests. in
addition to four Big Ten games,
were on the afternoons gridiron
program in the Middle West.
Dartmouth clashes with the Uni
versity of Chicago here at Stagg
Field in the first meeting between
the two teams since 1925.
Notre Dame, with four defeats
and a tie on its record, will battle
the Southern California Trojans
at South Bend, Ind, in an inter
sectional game that finds Hunk
Anderson's men the underdog.
Northwestern is conceded only
an outside chance Of upsetting the
confident, titlebound Michigan
machine.
At Minneapolis the galloping
Minnesota eleven is scheduled to
defeat Wisconsin. now tied or
last place in the Big Ten rankings.
Illinois was only a slight ia
vorite to close a successful season
with victory over Ohio State at
Columbus. Each has been defeated
once, by Michigan.
Indiana and Purdue clash at
Bloomington. Ind. in the thirty
fifth renewal of their bitter intra-
State rivalry.
The Iowa Hawkeyes. their Big
Ten season concluded. go up
against Nebraska, champions OF
the Big Six, at Lincoln, Nebr.
The Washington times., 1933-11-25

California figures to win by a
small margin.
Stanford, conqueror of Southern
California, meets an improved
California team which looks to
me like the winner. A field goal,
perhaps, will settle the issue here.
Visitors Are Favored
In the local games West Vir-
ginia and Washington and Lee
are favorites over Georgetown
and Maryland, respectively. I re-
gard the visiting teams as the
probable winners because Of their
greater man-power and experience.
Iowa, with the plunging Crayne
in form, should upset Nebraska in
one of the Vests big games.
Nebraska had a lot taken out of
it by Pittsburgh, while Iowa rode
over Purdue to gain added morale.
In the South, Georgia Tech and
Georgia will stage close contest
in which Georgia Tech, in my
opinion, will play its best game Of
the year and win by one touch
down. Auburn, still improving,
seems the likely victor in the game
with Florida.
Temple over Villanova and Co
lumbia over Syracuse are my other
selections in important games Of
the day.

pected either Ray Barnes and
Andy Zeiler or Meyer Jacobson

Merceda ISemann and Tony San

the prowess of Washington as a

Princeton is an overwhelming
favorite to win but Rutgers seems
confident it can take Princeton

Rutgers won, but Princeton has

Looking Things Over
WashingtonS newest Junior

worlds to conquer, and they don't
have to be new worlds at that.

for the Hyattsyille Juniors and the
Sunrise Bakers.
On the team are such outStand-
ing youngsters as Stuart Patti,
Ouncie Harrison, Nick Rinaldl,

CHICAGO
MEETING
BY GARRETT WATERS


Pitchers!
Sure, the Washington Ball
Club plans to add a few more to
its staff before the 1884 season.
But only providing it can swing
O couple of deals at the baseball
meetings next month at Chicago,
December IL, 13 and IA.
Your Uncle Clark Griffith
opined the other day in a gab-
fest:
But whether we will get 'em
Is q question. You know none
Of the other clubs are going to
give us anything because Of
our pennant victory last sea-
son. Nevertheless we're going
to attend the meetings next
month in the hope of landing q
dependable to fOrtify our.
chances Of coping the flag
again in 1884"
Here's the Staff
The Washington pitching staff
as it now stands includes the vet
erans, General Alvin Crowder,
Earl Whitehill, Lefty Walter Stew
art. and Alphonse Thomas, the
sensational Monte Weaver, the de-
pendable Jack Russell, the old
hanger-on. Bob Burke; the 39-
year-old Alex McColl. former star
minor Lacquer: Ed Chapman,
budding recruit; Eddie Linke.
chubby righthander, and Ray
Prim, promising left-hander.
Despite this array, club officials
and Your Uncle Clark Griffith,
who is really THE BOSNIAN. have
an idea that an addition, maybe
two, would help matters greatly
for the 1884 campaign not so very
far away.
They're probably right, as it
can never be figured in baseball
that this man or that one will
come through a second time as
successfully as his previous effort.
With this in mind. Griff and
his associates will depart for the
baseball meetings next month
with their eyes and ears opened
for possible trades that will
strengthen the Griffs in a pitch
Ing way.
No Easy Task
To find their "prey" will be no
easy task. Even so, the same Mr..
Griffith and his associates at
tended the meetings last winter
looking for both pitchers, out
fielders and other reinforcements,
and, pleasing to say, came back
with their respective arms loaded
with new talent-talent that won
o pennant by the hour the 1888
season had spent itself.
Incidentally, scouting for pitch
ers is the only plan up Mr.. Grif-
fith's sleeve at this writing. To
be sure, he'd never turn down a
proposition to strengthen his club
in the other departments Of its
makeup if some proposition
bobbed up at the pre-said meet
ingS.
But Griff is authority for the
statement that he hasn't been
able to conceive any trade posi-
bilities for the Griffs as yet. All
Of which discounts the many
rumors of late that Bill Vosmik
and Oral Hildebrand, Cleveland
Indian stars, were to come here in
exchange for either General
Crowder or Lefty Walter Stewart,
and that Goose Goslin was going
to be shipped to Boston for
Pitcher Ivy Paul Andrews, etc,
etc., etc.
