seventeen writer's participated in
the poll. Twelve picked Minnesota
and Ohio State to go through the
season undeteated, since the teams
do not meet. Two writer's predicted
that Minnesota would lose one game
and two figured that Ohio State
would lose one. One writer selected
Purdue to win the championship
and said Ohio would finish third.
The final standings, according to
the consensus would be:
l. Ohio State and Minnesota
(tied).
3. Purdue.
4. Illinois
5. Indiana.
6. Wisconsin.
7. Northwestern.
8. Iowa.
9. Chicago.
TO- Michigan.
The two writer's who picked Ohio
State to finish second said they
were playing lunches that Indiana
would upset the Buckeyes.
The critic who predicted a third
division berth for Ohio State said:

would have no part Of him. They
SquaWked so vehementIy. that old
Judge Lands held a hearing, the
formal result of which is yet to be
made public.
Moriarty is an American League
umpire. In days gone by he played
third base and managed the Tigers.
1t seemed he had to call every tough
play in the series. The tough ones
followed him all around the dia-
mond. Even over to third base
where Moriarty once said the UNI
plre ought to have a ukulele TO pass
the time away. If Moriarty had
had a ukulele at this series his ia
vorite chanty would have been, oh,
Lordy why do they pick on me?"
Moriarty gave most of the tough
decisions against the Cubs; he gave
them as he saw them and to neutral
observers it seemed that he gave
them correctly. But because Mort
arty had once been a member of the
Tigers of another era Cub Synpa-
thizerS attempted to inpugn the i'm
Partially of his decisions.
No Alibis, Sir?
The Cub players and National
League officials profeSsed to have
very decided sentiments regarding
Moriarty's umpiring, but they did
not come boldly to the Appoint
headlines and claim that he de-
llberately favored the Tigers either
for sentimental or sinister reasons.
The United Press quoted Charlie
Grimm, manager of the Cubs, as
follows: Tough decisions go against
all ball clubs some time or another.
But never in all my baseball eX-
perience have heard the language
that was used in this series And
Ford Frick, National League preSi-
dent, is quoted: The Cubs allowed
Moriarty to get their goat. Instead
of worrying about how to stop the
Tigers the Cubs were thinking about
an umpire. 1t was diSheartening to
a young club. However, the Ma
/ tional League has no alibis" (The
old Colonel will have to read that
last sentence again. The Ma
tional League has no ahbis."
Well, maybe I'm daffy.
You will note that Mr.. Grimm's
resentment is not against the tough
decisions going against his club but
the language that was employed by
Moriarty. ct was brought out at
the hearing Lands held that the
umpire had split an inhnitive, used
double negative and pronounced
boil "berl")
Press Box Is Neutral
The remarks Of Mr.. Prick are H.
Illuminating in that they show how
the viewpoint of man can change
with positions. AS a baseball writer
Mr.. Frick placed scant Importance
on squawks against the umpires.
This was the traditional abb Of the

magazine championship but they
still have five Big Ten teams to
play"
Most of the writer's figure that
Illinois and Purdue will put on a
great battle for third place. The
voting gave Illinois only one
point margin over the Boilermakers.
Indiana, according to the experts,
is the most improved team in the
conference, being rated IA per cent
better than in 1884. One writer
selected Indiana to finish fourth.
The critics we're almost unanimous
in saying that Northwestern will be
a fine team later in the season but
that the schedule is against it. The
Wildcats are the only team besides
Michigan which plays both Ohio
State and Minnesota.

In the series two umpires are chosen
from one league and two from the
other. 1t is the natural thing for
these men to bend over backward
in proving they aren't biased. Re-
peated accusation that an umpire
is biased can have, in fact, has had
the effect of making him favor the
other side at critical turns.

Since that wear. the two have met

Since that year, the two have met
six times, but never in Philadelphia.
The last meeting was a year ago,
when Yale won at New Haven, 14-6,
III the first game since 1925. Alto
gether, Yale and Penn have played
IA times, with Penn scoring its only
triumph, 1873, in 1925.
The Syracuse Cornell game will
mark the first time that traditional
brawl has been staged in Syracuse
since 1898.
Relations were renewed in 1888
and 1884 at Ithaca. Syracuse won
both times. The last game was won
by the Big Red team, 300, and was
its tenth triumph in as many
starts.
In II meetings, Cornell has rolled
up 306 points to Syracuse's Sail

and eked out the family fortunes.
On the afternoon their first-born
came into the world, news was
brought to the father working at
his forge. Fastening across the
fields to his home, he sank down
by the bedside and softly said,
"Benito shall be his name-Benito,
in honor of the memory of Benito
Juarez, that great Mexican Indian
leader who headed the rebellion
against European interference with
his country's affairs and had the
resolution to execute the Emperor
Macmillan, brother Of the emperor
Of Austria"
In such home, with such par
ents, with such Christian name,
the boy was predestined to be a
Socialist. He breathed rebellion in
the very air of his house. He learn
ed what poverty was, but he also
learned what books were.
But If his parents loved him.
they also trained him and at
school he was treated with little
consideration.
NOT TOO STERN TO WEEP.
Many years later he was to
write:
"Who in my whole life has
shown me any tenderness? No
body. Dreadfully poor was my
home, poor. and bitter my young
years. Where could I have learned
tenderness? At school, in the
world? No place. Then why
should people wonder that I am
reserved, solitary, harsh, and
stern?"
But he was not as steel-like al
he pretended. On three recorded
occasions he wept. Once was wher
he went to the bier Of his beloved
mother. The second time5was wher
the Italian army was smashed al
Caporetto and started on its, well
nigh fatal retreat before the united
German and Austrian armies.
The last time was when HI
