Howard University's football
team, given a much needed rest
Saturday, returned to practice to-
day to conclude preparations for
the annual clash with Lincoln
University in the Howard Stadium
on Thanksgiving Day. Not since
1925 have the Lions beaten the
Bisons.
The Bisons have had fairly
successful season under the able
tutelage of Coach Charles West
but seasonal records count for
naught when the Bisons and
Lions tangle on the gridiron.
A giant pep meeting will be
held at the Lincoln Theater
Wednesday at p. m, in which
coaches and players of both teams
will appear. AS a sidelight q
giant bonfire will be lighted on
the stage of the theater. Thurs.
day at 12:45 the American Legion
Fife and Drum Corps with the
Howard University Military Band
will give an exhibition of military
tactics and yellS.

though everything connected
with the game Of football was
alien to it, on the day saw
them, the Panthers showed
plenty.
Notre Dame still must come
back quite a way before it
reaches the gridiron pinnacle
it once occupied, and there is
reasonable doubt if under
changed conditions in football
such outstanding prominence
will ever be possible again.
It would be nice to be able to
move Fordham up several
notches. But we thought from
the outset Of the season that
the Rams would miss Danowski,
and we believe they have. Crow

injuries. Next year the Rams
may have better luck.

was the factor which made Par
cells tumble so interesting.
Wasn't a "Fumble"
AS the bail went out Of PARCELS
grasp it went directly toward Par
cells mate. For a time it seemed
that PARCELS mate had the ball
at Maryland's three.yard line.
The ball certainly went straight
toward PARCELS mate when the
ball left PARCELS. Another ques-
tion: Was that a tumble or a
tumble? Maryland recovered.
The single untoWard incident Of
the game occurred when PARCELS
fumbled as Georgetown was driv-
ing toward Maryland's goal late
in the third quarter. It seemed
the forward progress of the ball
had ceased. However, the referee
did not blow his whistle. PARCELS
lost the ball and Maryland re-
covered. The Georgetown stands
booed the official.
The official, chosen because of
his efficiency as an official, un-
doubtedly was correct in his rul-
ing. Regardless of whether he
was right or wrong, those who
booed were wrong.
Numbers Too Small
Maryland probably is guilty of
the only mistake of the game,
exclusive of the price of admis-
sion. The Terps' numbers are
altogether too small. People are
interested in players. That's the
idea Of identifying the players.
Why don't Maryland officials
place the right-sized numbers on
Old Line players?
Despite comparatively poor at
tendance, the Georgetown-Mary-
land game appeals as one which
can be developed into the big
game of the wear in these parts.

1t required a little time for Army
to recover from this surprise.
Charts and statistics of the
game Of the day prove pretty well
that the Ramblers came back in
the second half just as they came
back last year. They hammered
off the short sides Of the line
just as they did last year. They
had the drive and stamina, and
they won.
No matter what else may be
said of the season of 1884 Yale
once more rules the conquered
hosts Of the so-called Big Three.
It smashed Princeton down to
defeat one week ago, and on last
Saturday it defeated Harvard.
This last victory was entirely ex-
pected, but what was pleasing to
all those who respect the hallowed
traditions of the old Big Three,
Yale played traditional Yale foot
ball with ability to strike for
scores, and the rugged defense,
the Bulldog tenacity of Yale
teams.
Minnesota'S stalwartS cam e

tory over Wisconsin to clinch its
first conference championship in
% years. Purdue, which chal-
lenged the Gophers' claim was
beaten decisively by Indiana.
Cards Played Well.
Catholic University went abroad
over the weekend to face the
green-clad Duquesne eleven If
Pittsburgh. The Cardinals came
off on the short side Of a two
touchdown score, but they were
far from disgraced. This writer
has steadfastly refused at all
times and under all conditions to
alibi for any team. No alibis are
offered for the Cardinals.
It is only fair to say that they
got none the best Of the breaks
and none the best Of one or two
close decisions. In fact. there
were times when it seemed as if
the local warriors were the VIC
tins of a succession Of home

blanket.
They seemed so startled at
the deliberateness of the act,
that they must have been over

game call buck ague-they
were too entransed to move.
Vairo twisted away and ran
20-odd yards to Army's white
goal line.
Army was licked then, but
didn't know it.
She fought plenty hard, did
Army, but Notre Dame had
won the first thrust and from
then on, Army was quite on
the defensive.
Buckler, Stancook, Shuler and
Stillman were very much in the
game, Shuler the entire 60
minutes, ever in Notre Danes
backfield, messing up their
hair, and leaping into the air
to take Buckler's pass that re-
suited in Army's lone toucn-
down.
And as for the Ar1ny-Nayy
game Saturday. unless Navy can

attack, don't think Navy is
a better than 5-to-8 shot against
the West Pointers. Yes, right
now, having seen both teams
play, I'd make Army a slight
favorite.
A stone front wall, and
smart, alert. clever, active at

explain.
If had seen Princeton play
only the Yale game, I would,
without hesitation. drop the
Tigers down next the bottom
of the list, just ahead OF
Brown. but also saw Crisler'S
team against Harvard, and in
that game I thought it looked
very good indeed.
In rating these eleven teams
in the above order I have asked
myself this question: If you
had only one hundred dollars
in the world and you had to
bet it on some college team you
have seen play this season
against Minnesota, which team
would send for your money?
In answering, I have sincerely
tried to ignore any feelings Of

teams purely as exhibits m
American football as they
looked on that particular
afternoon.
Rejoices With Lions
Anybody who reads this col

that 1 rejoice when Columbia,

reasonable to believe that have
"rejoiced" Lou Little's teams
into four years of football in
which they have been beaten
only once each season.
A team can be lucky in one
game, can play over its head
for so minutes-as so many er-
roneously believed that Colum'
bia did against Stanford. A
team can even be lucky through
out an entire season. But no
football team, or football coach,
ever got by on luck for four
years in succession.
Now, at the end of his fourth
year at Bakerfield, it must be
apparent to all that Little has

BOASTS FINE
RECORD
BY GINO SINH

When Smiling Bill" Arnold,
Annapolis duckpin wizard, grinned
his way to a thrilling last box VIC
tory in the Fourth Annual Mems
Dixie Sweepstakes Saturday, no
one who knew him was surprised.
True, his triumph was not ex-
pected, for arrayed against him
was the most complete field of the
country's top-ranking bowlers ever
to roll in a sweepstakes.
But Bill, with that quiet grin
of his, had already pocketed
first money in several big events,
including the National Singles
championship.
In fact, Arnold is the only man
on record ever to successfully de-
fend sweepstakes title.
Wins Classic
He bursted into prominence
by his victory in the first Barnes
Classic rolled in Baltimore in 1892.
The finest performers of Washin-
ton and Baltimore were entered,
including Ollie Pacini and Ray
Barnes, the big shots Of that
season.
To prove that his achievement
was no fluke, in 1888 with prac'
tically the same field, he again
triumphed.
And Annapolis jumped onto the
duckpin map with a mighty
splash for Gordon Scible, who
finished second, is a bona fide
Annapolitan.
Scible's great showing from
start to finish was the big revela-
tion of the event and stamps him
as a dangerous contender for all
honors in the future.
Only slightly known generally,
the Annapolitan, undaunted by
the brilliance of the turnout,
just plugged away steadily game
after game, after his flashy 676
set. He nipped Mike Bogino, of
Connecticut, at the tape to take
the first block lead, then see.
sawed from first to third place
with Arnold and Bogino during
the remaining 10 games.
Going into the last few boxes,
Scible looked like the winner,
until Arnold spared and struck
and counted heavily to nose him
out.
Jenkins Shines
Young Louie jenkins also GOV.
cred himself with glory and re-
futed the assertion that he was
just a wild pitcher" when he
rammed the naples for an 1850
to tie for eighth place with such
renowned performers as Nick
Tronsky and Hokie Smith.
Jenkins did his best work on
the Convention Hall alleys when
he ripped off a 673 set. The slip
perry runwayS bothered him at
Lucky Strike.
Another chap who turned in a
remarkable job was Howard Par
sons, of Silver Spring, when he
placed fifth. Parsons current
league average is 106.
Astor Clarke's mighty 705 last
block set served notice on his
rivals that he Is still threat and
a power in the big money.
Won Still Good
Ray Won Dreele, Baltimore'S
colorful veteran who noSed out
Parsons by one pin for fourth
money, showed that he is still a
duckpin shooter to be respected.
And Gordon Caldwell's capture Of
sixth money kept him on top as
Richmond'S big coin threat.
AL sweepstakes entry records
were smashed with 81 shooting.
The best previous record for a
major 15-game hardwood duck
pin sweepstakes anywhere in the
country was So in the Howard
Campbell Sweepstakes of 1880.
