Began Out of Wildcats Tiger Game-Steinmetz
 Returns

Uncertain as to starting lineups because of injuries, Wilby and Leavenworth football squads were eased up in scrimmage yesterday prior to their meeting on Saturday the result of which will have a de- cided bearing on the city champion ship, inasmuch as Crosby just edged Leavenworth I-6 two weeks ago and will not play again until the Thanksgiving Day game Wlth Wilby.
 Return of SteinmetZ, regular quar- terback who was Sorely missed last Saturday has popped up the Leaven- worth hopes for win over Wlloy, while an injury 70 Wilby's kicker Began has worried Coach Jim Lee not little, though the high school rivals are reasonably certain to put on an interesting game because of the fact that each squad has a pair of fine running backs, Murphy and SIocum for LeavenWorth and Mc- Grath and Chestone for Wilby.
 Student bodies of both schools have been talking considerable about the game, and with good weather, they should help put the games attendance at the 5000 mark as a good response Is expected from the public, what with no game m New Haven at the Yale Bowl.

RAMS FROM ROSE. HILL HUNDRED. ON THE INSIDE
Results of St. Mary's and N. Y. U. Games May
 Decide Issue <
By JACK GUENTHER (TInited Press Staff COrreSp0ndent)

Pasadena, Calif., Nov. 18-(UP)- This section had "that certain feel- ing" today that Fordham's Rams will line up against the pick of the Pacific coast in the Rose Bowl foot ball classic New Years day.
 The "hunch" will predominate-- unless Jim Crowley's team is de- feated by St. Mary's Saturday or by New York university the follow ing weekend. The Rams are heavy favorites to win both games.
 Fordham, Pittsburgh and Alabama are the three top candidates for the eastern bid but the sheer power of the latter pair may turn sentiment against them. The west is not look ing for another shellacking.
 AS the feature attraction of Pas adena's annual Tournament of Roses, the game is expected to pro- vide plenty of nationwide publicity and the choice of an eastern team is an important factor in getting it. Pitt and Alabama, each have made four trips to the bowl, and most observers feel neither will get the chance to make the fifth excur- sion this year.
 Because of it's publicity value an eastern "ivy-leaguer" probably would be most welcome to the promoters, and there has been talk of Yale or Dartmouth being invited. However, neither would be likely to accept since sentiment in both institutions is strong against post-seaSon games.
 Another possible eastern choice is Lafayette, lone surviving perfect record team in the section, but the smaller colleges had been ignored since 1922 when Washington and Jefferson played California's so- called "wonder-team" to scoreless deadlock. ...
 With only co tie with Pitt against its 1897 record, Fordham stands out as one of the most poWer- full teams in the country. ..
 The big drawback, to a Ram in- vitation is that, with Fordham in the Rose Bowl, the New Orleans Sugar Bowl could bring Alabama and Pitt together in the most authentic mythical championship game of the season. This undoubtedly would hog lot of the spotlight usually shin- ing on Pasadena. Alabama still is unbeaten and united, and Pitt is unbeaten, the tie with Fordham being the only blemish on the tough est schedule in the nation.
 Alabama still has to beat Vander- bilt and Pittsburgh will have to get by Penn State and Duke to merit the Rose Bowl bid. (.
 Holy Cross and Villanova are still undefeated in the east, and Colo rado is unbeaten and united in the Rocky Mountains but these teams are the Hong shots" and the betting is 3-1 against any of them being named.

anything about the courtship, be- cause Daisies never tell" He storm ed, fumed, fretted, and sent tele- grams.
 While Big Jim" was doing all this Daisy and Harry were travelling through the East, billing and cooing in the finest lovebird manner. But they didn't forget Father Parsons. Daisy loved him and Harry figured that he might as well be on the right side of his father-in-law.
 Then they hit upon an idea.
 They would buy him horse and send it to him as sort of four legged peace pipe. That was before Harry, of the soft-yet-iron-hands, had ridden Pompoon in the derby and the Belmont, and whipped Rosemont home in the $100,000 San- ta Anita Handicap. So Harry and Daisy decided on cheap horse in the Saratoga sales.
 They got one for $200. They were the only bidders. He had four legs, a mane, and switchy tail, but that was about all he had in the way of thoroughbred trademarks. In other words, High Vote was pretty sor- ry looking nag. He was hurt. He was tired. But he was horse, and he fitted their pocketbook. And he look ed like a good peace offering, among persons who speak only the equine language.
 Father Parsons snorted when he first glimpsed High Vote. Then he felt sorry for the old knock-kneed nag and told his trainer to give him a rest. A long rest.
 This brings us almost to the end of our story of the girl and the boy and the knocked-kneed horse.
 As you know, the boy and the girl are happy, and let me tell you what happened to the knock-kneed horse.
 He has won three important races in 8 row, beating on one occasion colt that cost $10,000.
 Right now he is one of the best sprinters on the Pacific coast. His coat is rich and soft, his belly nicely rounded, and he doesn't know that he only cost $200.
 Yesterday, at Tanforan, sat with Daisy and Harry and Big Jim" Par sons. Big Jim" loved his daughter, knock k-kneed horse. But you should as always. He is mighty proud of the hear the ring in his voice when he says:
 T want you to meet my son-in- law"

 9anta Anita having demonstrated that there really is gold in them thar California hills, more than a dozen foreign-bred horses will chase 1t this winter. o.
 They are more than welcome, for the American turf is sadly in need of handicap horses.
 Agan it principally IS the Holly wood picture colony that IS popping up racing on this side. It's 8 case of new blood two ways-owners ana horses.
 Last year Raoul Walsh brought Grand Manitou from France. He also imported Sunset Trail II from Ireland in hope of copping the ken- lucky Derby.
 Grand Manitou did not live up to promise, although he is stakes winner in this country and may be of considerable value later in. And the producer and director was suf- Siciently satisfied to try the experl- ment again.
 So this trip Walsh is importing Froxo from France. Froxo is eligible for the $100,000 Santa Anita Hanol- cap in February, while 8 pair of 2- year-olds no doubt will be pointed for future editions of the rich south -ern California fixture.
 Soabiscuit Has Family Rivalry
 There seems little question but that the South American horses, Caballero II and Sahri II, will jour ney to the plant of the Los Angeles Turf Club this winter, although the former may go to Miami.
 In any event, Senor Lawrence Barker already has three ilnporta . tions from Chile at Santa Anita, with more en route.
 Senor Bing Crosby has half in- terest in the Argentine thorough bred, Sabuesco. Incidentally, the other half of that interest rests with c. s. Towards son, Lynn, SO Sea- biscuit has 8 family rivalry. Two

 Football Selections
Yale Over Harvard, Holy Cross to Top Carnegie
 Tech Saturday
BY ERNEST BARCELLA

Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston, Nov. 18-New England college football reaches 8 grand climax Saturday in a big-game at- mosphere featuring the Seth renew al of the revered rivalry between Harvard and Yale.
 Barring the Rose bowl bid, only games thereafter involving teams from this section are two Thanks giving day battles and the annua, Holy Cross Boston college clash Mo- venber 27.
 Obscured by the Harvard Yale classic but equally important ir their own right are the Holy Cross Carnegie Tech joust and the intra- city feud between Boston college and Boston university. Meanwhile Dartmouth closes unexpectedly suc- cessful campaign, opposing Colum- bia at New York. Brown is idle until Thanksgiving day when it meets Rutgers, with Providence col lege appearing at Western Mary land the same day. V
 Much is at stake in these games; too much to attempt exporting their outcome. So, in the spirit of Thanks giving, let's just poke thumb in his gridiron plum pudding and see what we come out with on the Saturday and holiday menu.
 Boston college Boston U.-(ap- eritif)-Park avenue for "appe- tizer", which is just what this game is. A toast to Boston college.
 St. Anselm at Springfield-(soup) duck soup for St. Anselm. Tufts at Mass State-(salad)- Lettuce pick Tufts.
 Yale at Harvard-(main course)-- some people like their turkey hot Some like 1t cold. Talking cold tur. key, Yale is pretty hot stuff (ing) Especially this bird Clint Frank lawn Harvard goes gunning for g drumstick but his blunderbuss back fires.
 Dartmouth at Columbia-(cider Dartmouth students have a quaint customs. They hang jugs of cider out of their dormitory windows fol chilling purposes. A hearty sWig fol Dartmouth.
 Rutgers at Brown-(cranberry jelly)-There'll be cranberry jelly to fill the Brown Bears er-af tummy.
 Carnegie Tech at Holy Cross | (dessert)-Hot mince or pumpkin pie. Osmanski, Cahill and Giard-1 Mincing no words, Holy Cross is some pumpkins.
 Providence College at Western Maryland-(demi-tasse)-A sip fol Western Maryland.

WEST GETS DOZEN FOREIGN-BRED MACS;
 SEABISCUT NOW HAS FAMILY RIVALRY; ., THEN THERE'S LIE BAMBINO MONSIEUR

more foreign-bred plugs which will appear during the Santa Anita meet ing opening Christmas Day were sired by Night Raid, which got the lamented Phar Lap.
 Greatest interest surrounds the French-bred, Le Bambino, however. He is owned by Monsieur Ralph Beaver Strassburger, expatrlate American sportsman. The Strass- burger stud is situated in France, where Le Bambino was born and where he bagged @ pair of events as a juvenile, but his owner also maintains an English stable.
 Phar LaD Proved It Can Be Done
 Le Bambino is a more or less diminutive animal, being about as high as War Admiral. His sire was unbeaten Cavaliere D'Arpino, and Le Bambino, despite a mediocre record, has shown enough to mdi- cate that he may be a worthy son. He prevailed twice in England this year, and raced to within 8 length and a half of Midday Sun in the latter's warm-up victory before the English Derby. He finished seventh in the English Derby.
 Since that March afternoon u 1882, when Phar Lap scored his spectacular victory in the $10O, ,0O0 Agua Caliente Handicap, an in- creasing number of foreign nags have journeyed to these shores.
 David J. Davis, who brought Phar Lap to California from Australia, came back with Pillow Flight and Trevalnon, but neither was success full.
 Then came Winooka, an extremely high class. if ,nlucky Australian. Purses Make Anita Attractive
 After Winooka's challenge was hurled back, undefeated Challenger II came from England only go wrong before he could get to the races. Boy Painter, another British candidate, failed to get going.
 Of course, the Irish-bred Azucar did win the first running of the great Santa Anita Handicap, but he hardly qualities as foreign entrant since he raced here for some time as 8 steeplechaser before turning his eyes toward the at and the speedy Arcadia strip.
 Santa Anita. with its $100,000 in a lump cum, in addition to four or five other races of $10,000 and much more, is an attractive spot for own CTS.
 As related in the foregoing, the new crop IS a welcome addition to handicap competition there and elsewhere in this country, but so far neither War Admiral nor Seabiscuit has shown the slightest sign of nervousness, except in looking at each other.

 Hutson's teammate, Bob Monett, leads the passers with 30 comple- tions in 59 attempts.
