 Lovely Weather" Mariana didn't bowl so good. I know why John thinking about the election, hccli.
 No wonder Magro bowled bad. He was smoking those cheap rope cigars.
 HeiIman arguing with Vignali why he came late. What's the dope Louise.
 Melko that much improved with 332. Whats the secret Mel ko. Don't tell me it's those new bowling shoes you got for Christ mas.
 Pete, Hank, Libera. Nick & Go. beat Mclko's three-man team with little difficulty. What would they do with a five man team, now, l ask you, Hank.
 Doc didn't show up because he was peddling clans all day and was so tired he couldn't bowl; while Mordino, that curly-haired lad, had an injured arm.
 Rosa finally showed up after selling ice all day. What did you do, make a profit Rosa?
 F. Martino singing to himself all during the night. Better keep away from those soda fountains Frank.
 There's a rumor that Hank is going to have shakeup on his team, tradin a few of his stars for that famous pair, Del GObbO and HeiIman, throwin in couple of clans besides. ... =. =. -. ..

BIG TEN GAMES TOMORROW TEST
 FOR THE LEADERS
Strong FavOrites May Meet Series of Sur=
 prises This Week
BY GEORGE KIRSKEY United Press Sta Correspondent)

 Chicago, Nov 9.-(UP)-Banana peels were sprinkled all over Big Ten gridirons to-day.
 Tomorrow is one of those days when It seems simple to pick every Western Conference winner. That's an omen that one or more of the mighty may slip on a banana peel, fall in an elephant pit, or get caught unawares by an inspired underdog.
 Minnesota, Illinoise and Purdue, racing neck and neck for the Big Ten title, looks like democratic landslide. Minnesota Is a 10-1 favorite over Indiana at Min neapolis. Illinois is 5-1 fav- orite over Northwestern at Evan ston. Purdue is a Al favorite over Iowa City.
 Ohio State and Chicago, tied for third place, meet at Columbus and the Buckeyes are Al favorites. The closest game of the day-on paper-is the Michigan Winsonsin battle at Ann Arbor. Michigan is only a 3-1 choice.
 Minnesota-Illino Purdue Ohio State e-Michigan-that looks like the best parlay of the year, but sundown Saturday may catch one of those "sure things" battered and beaten, cornered and con quered.
 But in Cleveland's big munich pal stadium on the shores of Lake Erie, two teams-Notre Dame and NaVy-Will start on equal terms, an even money,- take-your-picll k basis, and fight it out in, what may develop into one of the sea- sons sharpest hand-to-hand foot ball skirmishes.
 Last week Coach Elmer Lay den of Notre Dame predicted his team would lose to Pitt by three touchdowns, qualifying himself as prophet worth needing. His prediction this week is:
 "Notre Dame to beat Navy"
 Minnesota seems capable of winning from Indiana without a struggle.
 Coach Bo McMillin of Indiana who calls Minnesota one of the most powerful teams he ever has seen in action, says: Minnesota should slaughter In diana, but I want to see the game played out"
 With Purdue's touchdown twins Duane Purvis and Jimmy Carter on the rampage again, the Boiler makers seem likely to avenge ar unexpected 14-6 defeat by Iowa | last year.
 With Jay Berwanger crippled | Chicago's chances against Ohio | State seem slim.
 Wisconsin hasn't won confer ence game since 1892, and Coach | Harry Kipke, Michigan says:

 sure things of the day. But the footballers ran almost disgustingiy true to form last week and the
 week before and it's time for some plain and fancy upsets.

YALE DEFENSE IS | POLISHED UP FOR | GEORGIA GAME
S0utherners Have Won
 Last Four Starts Against Ellis !

New Haven, Conn, Nov 9.-4 (UP)-Defensive plays were being stressed in Yale practices in the belief Georgia may prove to be as strong as Dartmouth when they meet in the Bowl here Sat,lr- day.
 De Angelis, Curtin and Gross most seasoned of the linesmen, were depended upon to carry out this responsibility and the squad went through long drill late yes terday, mainly devoted to defen7 sive strategy. Is As in all its other games, Yale probably will extend itself at the start and get goal-minded from the kickoff. It was this same tactic that caught Pennsylvania and Dartmouth flatfooted and rung up tally almost at the com, mencement of play.
 The Georgia team, B strong was expected to land here late tonight. It will be the 11th meet. ing between the two teams, tho last four ending in favor of thu visitors.

The leagues president, Gento Orsini, went to work last week and showed the boys how to bowl, in the course of his first game, he rolled a 151 game, beating the for mer high single of 150 held joint ly by Beland and Jolly, members of the Sitting Room team, just to show how long he thought this 151 score would stand, Gento was will ing to sell it for $1.0O rather than take the chance of making little speech. He might have to, as he might collect $500 for having the seasons high single, at banquet time. Newell Silent Mitchell, boss of the Research teanl had his best night this season, when he smash ed up three games which would do honor to the best of bowlers, his scores were 117, 125, 121 for a 363 total. Seems like old times to see Mitchell rolling in form again. If Louie D'Heureux of the Stock Room continues at the rate he has to date, he will undoubtedly set UT new record for most strikes, in six weeks of play Louie has spilled all the pins with that first ball. nc less than IT times, nearly an aver- | age of a strike game.
 It's no fault of Bossy Baldoni's if he doesn't roll big games, as he certainly works plenty hard trying to get marks. They say Bossy hits 'em for money, but to watch him it appears he is always bowling 10, | money.
 Rumor has it that Ronald Keith will give up bowling if he doesn't | average 100 tonight. Our inside in. former tells us that Ronny has beer | offered a position as flag-.ole sitter | at the dance marathon beng run ir | this city. Johnny Daniels escaped from the lions den last week long enough to roll with the Machine Room and proceeded to roll over the century mark.
 What has happened to Otto Bon. aker's bowling this year. We re- member when the obliging Otto sell dom ever hit a game under 100 but alas dear reader, it happens no more. A few weeks ago this column was in quest of his picture to run along with short story about Otto, whether he thinks we have the story and might print it without a picture or wise versa, anyway some- thing is bothering his style this year.
 In Socks" Carlo, the Sitting Room team have a steady per former, and a good man in the pinches. Socks" throws a twister that works it's way through leaving many spare leaves which he takes care of with that second ball.
 Captain Johnny Accetura of the Shipping Room outhit and showed his mates thing or two last week when he rolled 361 and believe it or not. his scores were instrume en- tai in his team winning.
 Anchors Aweigh? That Rolling Mill team will bear watching. Last week they broke high team three with 1884.

 New York, Nov 9-Ford Prick president of the National league.
 If that isn't success story in few words there isn't any such thing.
 Two years ago Ford was just one of the boys. It's true that he was one of the mora outstanding boys, in that his readers paid some semblarice of, attention to what he pounded out of his portable and and on the best of his office had to offer. But he was still catching rattlers at the ball game, absorb | ing the moisture of unhappily timed | football-game showers and doing his best to make track meets and swimming carnivals sound as inter- esting as. they are supposed to be, In other words, he was just an- | other sports writer. Now he ranks | with the top three of his favorite sport, baseball; the others, o1 course, being MT Landis, the tor man of the show, and MT Harridge, whose name is gilded on the door of the American league head quarters.
 Between noon when the National | league came around to voting Ford in as president and o'clock when l the Sweet Scalion and Vinegar I Valley Poker club began its bi, i weekly session to improve the breed of inside straights, there must have been seven of eight per. sons who asked in effect, T sec Ford Prick was elected presi dent of the National league. Just what kind of a guy is he?" The answer was "he's a req grand guy" and that's all the ans I wer anybody needs.
 For those who can take theil baseball presidents or leave then and who don't pay much attention to such things, it might be set dowr that Ford, two years ago, was g baseball writer and radio commen' tator for the New York Journal
