NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-With
Cornell and Manhattan runners
looming as threats to the inter-
collegiate A. A. A. A. cross-coun-
try titles held by Michigan State
for three years, representatives of
% colleges waited for the start
ing gun at the Van Cortlandt
Park course today.
The Michigan State spartans
captured the team, and the in
dividual honors in last years
races, while Manhattan was Sec
ond and Cornell placed third.
Cornell, unbeaten this year, has
defeated Yale, Alfred, Columbia
and Syracuse teams. The Ithacans
are expected to be the main
threat to the Spartans who have
defeated Pittsburgh and Butler,
but bowed to Indiana.

Bowl" Status Unchanged
The Rose Bowl situation on the
Eastern frort remains in status
quo. Fordham was out of action,
taking a we'll earned breather al
ter carrying a. murderouS schedule
through to this point without de-
feat. The Maroon Ram goes into
action on next Saturday with the
Red Bulldogs of Georgia which
rocked the South by beating Tu-
lane on Saturday. Alabama had
previously beaten the GreenieS but
Georgia was nothing more than a
forlorn hope to win.
Marquette ran riot over MisSis-
sippi, thus maintaining its place
among the unbeaten teams of the
land, and Northwestern trimmed
Michigan in a game that was far
closer than most critics expected
it to be.
The South'S unbeaten teams,
Alabama and Louisiana State,
went along on the even tenor Of
their way. Neither Of these
teams will play in the Rose Bowl,
in all probability Louisiana
State is practically committed to
play in the Sugar Bowl game at
New orleans, and there is much
talk of Alabama terminating its
season in Cuba.
Rams Logical Choice
If Alabama definitely decides
to play in Havana, the road will
be cleared for Fordham. even if
the slightest lingering doubt
should remain in the minds of the
Rose Bowl committee. From
national advertising standpoint, of
course, Fordham is the logical
choice. This point will not be
lost upon the Pasadena outfit.
Southern California lost another
game, this time to University of
Washington, which is unbeaten in
Pacific Coast Conference play.
The Huskies did bow to Minnesota
in the opening game of the season.
Washington State trimmed the
Grizzlies of University of Califor-
mia, Los Angeles branch. Washing.
ton and Wash 1gton State will
meet presently, and the worst that
can happen to the Huskies is a tie
with the Cougars for premier
honors on the slope.
Critics out there seem to think
that Washington is the better
team, so prepare then for Ford.

There are times when cynicS
smile at these raids on the ZOO for
names of college football teams.
But on Saturday the Bulldog Of
Yale was a bulldog in fact. The
Blue was swept off it's feet, bat
tered by a 16 point barrage in the
first half. But it fought grimly
on and took the lead. Then the
Tiger forged ahead again. None
but the stalwart could have taken
that reverse.
Kelley Leads Fighting Men
But Kelley took it, and Yale
took it with him. The Irish love
of a fair battle with a foe that
could take a beating and give a
beating appealed to him. He
fought his way through. It was
Kelley who ran for a touchdown;
Kelley who Speared forward
passes, Kelley who thundered into
the Orange and Black backfieldS
to make Shivering tackles Of
enemy backs.
Somewhere in this chosen land
there are better foot ball players
than this All-America captain
courageous OF the Blue, but no
where under the sun is there a
man in or out of uniform who
carries more fight and more ro-
nance with him. He talks a great
game, but he plays greater game.
He is Larry Kelley of Yale.
The "Unpredictables of Notre
Dame" turned to with another
great gridiron performance and
shattered Army. On a line
through two games, Navy leaped
into the role of favorite for the
service clash in Philadelphia on
November %. Navy confirmed its
readiness to play that part by de-
feating Harvard in great battle
in the ivy grown stadium at Cam
bridge.
Irish Shock Army
The Irish, and in this season
there really are some CeltS on the
Notre Dame battle front, rallied
from a terrific battering in the
first few minutes of play and then
went to town. Had it not been
for Charles Monkey" Meyers gal
liant run back of a punt the Kay
diets would have been shut out.
Not since Joe Stecher feinted
to the right and reversed to the
left off the short side, to run from
midfield for touchdown has
West Point defeated Notre Dame.
The spaSmodic power of Notre
Dame manifested against Navy
week ago suddenly functioned as
beautifully co-ordinated flow of
force in this game with the fu-
ture generals.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 16.
Home-State loyalty and affection,
neither Of which may be queS-
toned, bid fair to take away from
the powerful and versatile Louisi-
ana State University football team
any chances the Bayou Tigers
may have of playing in the Rose
Bowl on January /.
A peculiar situation has devel-
oped for L. S. U.
Sugar Bowl officials, powerful
in this neck of the woods, and
high State officers, who control
the purse strings of L. S. u, want
the Bayou Tigers to forget all
about their Rose Bowl aspirations
and get down to the business Of
preparing to play in the Sugar
Bowl.
No one questions L. S. us grid
iron ability. A number of coaches,
including Ray Morrison, of Vandy;
Major Ralph SaSSe, of Mississippi
State; Jimmy Kits, of Rice; Ed
Walker, of Mississippi; Fred
Thompson, of Arkansas; Harry
Mehre. of Georgia, and Jack
Meagher, of Auburn, insist the
Bayou Tigers are the best gridiron
combination ever developed in the
South.
Suicide Schedules
Typical of big teams with "Sui.
eide" schedules, L. S. u, like Ford.
ham, has been tied once. How,
ever, in its last start, Saturday,
against Auburn. L. S. U. scored
more points on Auburn than any
team this season, and Auburn is
rated one of the 10 top Teams Of
America. The Tigers of the Bayous
won over Auburn, 19 to 6, whereas
Santa Clara, rated the top team
of the Pacific Coast, defeated
Auburn IL to 0. Santa Clara won
over Stanford, 13 to 0.
L. S. U. on successive Saturdays
has played Rice, Texas, Georgia,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Vanderbilt,
Mississippi State and Auburn The
Bayou Tigers have rolled up a
total of 155 points against such
stern opposition. Every game
played thus far this year by L. S.
u. was rated a major contest. The
eight opponents have managed a
total of 33 points against l.. S. U.
Newspapers of this city and of
the South, all of them decidedly
sympathetic with the Bigger and
Better Sugar Bowl" movement,
thus far have refused to boost
I, S. U. for the Rose Bowl for the
reason that all appear agreed the
Bayou Tigers should play in the
Sugar Bowl rather than in the
Rose Bowl.
Vision Grid Classic
While L. S. U. has played eight
major games to date, as against
five for Alabama, L. S. US near.
est competitor in the Southeastern
Conference race, Southern sports
editors have dreamed of two South
ern teams involved in both Rose
Bowl and Sugar Bowl contests, a
dream which if it comes true will
lend all sorts of prestige to t1ct-
ball of the Southland.
Contrarily. however, the sports
boosters want L. S. U. for the
Sugar Bowl, insisting that the
Southeastern Conference team
with the superior record should
play in the Sugar Bowl rather
than the Rose Bowl, thus making
the Sugar Bowl battle a bigger
and better one than the one
| booked for the Rose Bowl.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-Rogers
HornSby will sign a new contract

lowing a long conference between

ures he deems necessary to con-
duct and keep the team at its
best morale and playing strength
will receive our whOle-hearted
approval" Barnes said.
"We've laid some plans for
1897" Dewitt said, "but, of
course, it's too early to divulge
them"
"T'm not predicting any over
night pennantS," Horn shy
chimed in, "but do expect
much improvement. We're look

that he'd bench himself if he
found he was mot up to major
league standards"

WASHINGTON PROS GAIN GROUND IN FOOTB1
Regd|s Near
Amateur
Pennant
By SID KATZNELL

BY virtue of their stunning
9.to.7 victory over a fighting st.
Mary's Celtic aggregation from
Alexandria at Griffith Stadium
yesterday before 1,500 chilled fans,
the Washington Pros are today in
the running for the Dixie Football
Leagues championship. The vote
less clan is only two points behind
Portsmouth, which clingS to the
TOP rung with four triumphs, two
losses, and one tie for a total OF
nine points. The Pros have won
three, lost two, and tied one for an
aggregate of seven points.
It was Willis Benner, former
Maryland University flash, who
proved to be the player Of the hour
for the local team. He kicked a
field goal from the 20-yard line
that gave his team the margin OF
victory after almost giving the
game to the Celtics, when he let
q Celtic punt get through him on
his own 26-yard line in the second
period. The ball was recovered
by Kennen, the Celtics' huge
tackle.
Benner Fumbles
Benner's tumble proved costly
for the time being. Dunlap, Gel
tics right half, passed a 2l-yard
pass to Wright, placing the oval
on the five. From here Jones,
quarterback, went off right tackle
for the touchdown. Bill Parrish
converted. The score stood Z to 0
in favor of the Virginians, and
Benner'S name had already gone
down on the fans score cards as
the goat. Behold! The Pros came
to life.
With the second period rapidly
getting old, the Pros put on the
steam. Dick Nelson dropped back
and shot a beautiful 35-yard pass
to Lee Carlin for a touchdown.
Benner's placement kick for the
extra point was blocked. Shortly
after the kickoff Gene Auguster-
fer intercepted Dunlap's pass and
galloped 40 yards to the Celtic 10
yard line. When Nelson and Car
lin failed to gain on two line
bucks, Benner dropped back to the
20-yard line and booted that vic
torious field goal. Neither team
was able to score after the field
goal, but the Celtics at one time
advanced the pigskin to the Pros
30-yard line by the medium of
Dunlap's accurate passes.
Regal Advances
The Regal Clothiers just about
seWed up the pennant in the Ma
tional City League. Yesterday the
Clothiers BANKED Trinity A. c.,
s to 0, for their fifth straight
game. Fullback Mangum scored
the Royals touchdown in the sec
ond quarter when he dashed 25
yards over the gcRl line after
eluding two would-be tacklers.
Arlington A. A. moYed into Sec
ond place by defeating the Car
dinals, IL to 0.
Arlington scored both touch
downs through the air. Burch
threw a 30-yard pass to Via, who
ran the remaining 20 for the first
six pointer, and the other touch
down was registered when Well
passed 20 yards to Birch over the
goal.
Palace A. C's 150-pound team
is today celebrating its 19to-O win
over the Virginia A. c., of Alex
endria. Donaldson, Johnson, and
Hanlin scored the touchdowns.
The Police Boys Club proved
too strong for the Silver Spring
Merchants yesterday, and bowed
