High Schools Hardest
Hit in Fatal Hurts
On U. 5. Gridirons
Death List of ID to Date
Is Two Under Totul
Recorded in 1887
BY the Associated Press.


LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 11.-Foot-
ball fatalities in high school, college,
sandlot and athletic club games show
a decrease for the second straight
year, according to preliminary re-
port issued today by DR.. Floyd r.
Eastwood of Purdue University, who
makes an annual survey of gridiron
vital statistics for the American
Football Coaches Association and
the N. c. A. A.
Fourteen deaths directly attribut-
able to football and five indirectly
due to football have been recorded
through November T. Last year, for
the same period, there were 16
deaths for which football was di-
rectly responsible.
OF the IA fatalities, only one was
reported from the colleges, that of
Martin B, Morrow, 21-year- old play
er for Morgan Park Junior College
in Chicago Morrow died November
5 OF cerebral hemorrhage, which,
with skull fractures and internal in
juries, was found by DR.. Eastwood to
be one of the chief causes of death.
Seven fatalities were reported from
high schools, four from sandlot and
two from athletic clubs. Of the in
direct fatalities, there were two
each from the colleges and high
schools and one from athletic clubs.
Pneumonia, septicemia, dilated
heart and asphyxiation accounted
for these deaths.
The seven high school deaths di-
rectly due to football were a drop
of four from the same period in
1887; the four sandlot deaths were
one more than last year; there were
two athletic club fatalities last year.

Tony Galento, the New Jersey

something when he waved shiny
$4,000 bill around National Boxing

indication of good faith in challeng-
ing Joe Louis to heavyweight title
fight.
Right behind Tony comes the
Yucatan Kid. a Mexican, who today
will visit N. B. A. headquarters and
challenge Henry Armstrong for the
lightweight title.
Accompanying him will be check
for $4,000 as an evidence of good
faith. The Yucatan Kid is in town
for his fight Monday night at Turn
er's Arena with joey Fernando, and
is overlooking this hurdle in his
challenge, which is based on the
fact that he beat Joe Condi after Joe
had whipped Armstrong.
The affair Monday Is set for 10
rounds to head Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn's second in series of club
fight cards. Supporting bouts will
have as one of the principals an

Trio Of Central Aces
Bunthed al Top in
Gridiron Scoring
Clark Series Leader;
Mount PIeosonters
Near 10th Title

Leading the race for individual
scoring honors in the high school
gridiron series are three Central
stars, Jimmy Clark, right end;
Benny Steiner, quarterback, and
Dick Farr, substitute end.
Clark, a member of the backfield
last season and shifted to end by
Coach Hardy Pearce to make use
of his ball-carrying experience, has
been a constant threat, and is a
regular ground gamer both because
Of his flair for catching passes and
keep going and his ability to take
the ball on end-around plays. His
total Is Is points with four touch
downs and one extra point.
Steiner Close Second.
Steiner is shade behind him with
% points, but it could be a lot higher
were Benny not q team player who
gives his mates a chance to score
after he himself has had a major
part in bringing the ball close to
pay dirt. Ten of his points have
been scored by. conversions after
touchdown. The next Central player,
Farr, is a tall, lanky fellow, adept
at snagging passes, who has made
three touchdoWns for 18 points via
this route.
Clark forged into the lead yester-
day by carrying for two touchdowns
as Central routed Woodrow Wilson,
27-0, and the Blue and White now
is assured of at least a tie for first
place and needs only to down the
impotent 1887 champions from East
ern to take its goth title.
Central Away With a Bang.
Central all but. broke Wilson's
heart yesterday when it scored two
touchdoWns on the first two plays it
ran. The first was by Tony Di Blasi,
who hit tackle on a spinner on the
50-yard line and kept going, and the
next was Clark from the 30-yard
mark on the end-around play Coach
Pearce has brought to such perfec-
ton at Central. The Mount Pleas
anters scored again in the second
and fourth quarters for their q
total, with Steiner making good all
but one placement attempt.
Frank Bond, Wilson quarterback,
found receivers able to hold on to
his fast, accurate heaves yesterday
for the first time. and most of Will
sons gains were via this route. Bond
is one of the best schoolboy passers
in the series and real marksman
but all season his passes have been
bouncing off the chests of team
mates.

Turkey Thicket Game Sunday

Brookland Boys Club 135-pound
team will play the "25" Club eleven
Sunday starting at 3 O'Clock at
Turkey Thicket, Tenth street and
Michigan avenue NE.
Generally an announcement like
the above few lines means lust an
ordinary Sunday sandlot game be-
tween two groups of boys out for the

thing else. But behind this one
there is story of neighborhood
rivalry and competition going back
to the time when the section out
that way first was built up and the
boys began gathering in groups to
play football and baseball.
The railroad running down Ninth
street served as a natural dividing
line. with the boys to the east in
Brookland forming one group and
the boys to the west along Michigan
avenue. Lincoln road and Fourth
street forming the Edgewood group,
and both referred to the other as
"the boys from the other side of the
tracks"
Almost annually for over a decade
the two groups have met on the
gridiron and baseball diamond in
games noted for their roughness and
keen rivalry. The Brookland boys
usually have called themselves the
Brookland Boys Club, Terrors.

starting with Brookland, while the
other lads, have operated under vari-

Bears Bear Down
With Cubs Spirit
Facing Redskins
HoIos Warns Scribes
To Be Set for Sad
Story on Champs
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.,
Star Stad Correspondent.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-"What the
Cubs could do the Bears can do"
was the defying challenge flung at
the Washington Redskins today by
Chicago Bear football team, which
would emulate the laSt-minute drive
Of Chicago's National League base
ball team during the recent diamond
season.
Squelching all talk of being "out"
of the Western Division race because
their won-and-lost record is only
500 per cent for eight games, the
Bears not only insist that they still
have mathematical chance, but
point to the Cubs as an analogy of
what they hope to do.
Nobody gave the Cubs tumble
around the first of September" !"
Owner George Halas was saying to-
day. but they got into the world
series, didn't they? And as long
as there's mathematical chance Of
us getting into the playoff, we're
clinging to it,
Must Take Next Three.
Odds against the Bears getting a
tie for the western title-the best
they could do under the circum-
stances-are long. They would have
to beat all three of their remain
ing Washington. Brook
lyn and Detroit Green Bay, the
current leader, would have to lose
both its remaining games to Detroit
and New York And Detroit would
have to lose half of its remaining
four games with Green Bay, the
Chicago Cardinals, the Bears them
selves and Philadelphia.
The Packers could eliminate the
Bears by beating Detroit Sunday,
although the Lions would have a
chance should the Packers lose the
week following to the Giants
But until they are definitely elimi-
mated, the Bears will be fighting for
all they're worth. Inasmuch as the
question of whether it will be fruit
less for them to continue playing
for keeps will not be known until
after Sundays game it is certain
that they'll be fighting Sunday for
survival. And there's no keener
incentive than that.
Redskins Unimpressed.
$50 you Washington newspaper
men can prepare to write a sad story
Sunday night" Halas said in con-
cluding his little interview. We're
hoping it won't be disastrous to your
chances of retaining the Eastern
championship for we'd like nothing
better than to replay that 1887 play
off game in Washington. But be
prepared to take it on the chin
this week"
If Halas' words put any fear into
the Redskins it wasn't noticeable.
In contrast, the Indians are begin
ming to enter that state of mind
which Coach Ray Flaherty says
always is good sign they're in the
right mental attitude They're los
ing that light, jovial frame of mind
and becoming sort of "touchy," SEN
sitive to derogatory words other
wise received in the jest with which
they are given.
Il imagine the boys won't have
much to say when they're pulling on
their uniforms in the dressing room
Sunday. either" Coach Ray Flaherty
said. IF they don't. I know every
thing will be all right. When per-
sonal wisecracking goes. determined
team play comes in. That's what
want Sunday and from the way it
looks now that's what I'm going to

the honors for horses over 152 hands
last night. She earned the reserve
ribbon in her class last year.
Dixie Maid Invincible.
Since winning in Madison Square
