IN Title Defense
Eastern Shoves Riders
Into Basement With
60 Curtuin Win

Eastern High School, football
champion last season with five
straight victories, barely Is out Of
the cellar at the conclusion Of this
years series, giving the place to
Roosevelt which had six successive
defeats.
The Lincoln Parkers finished the
race yesterday with one game in
the win column, nosing out Roose-
welt, 60, on q soggy Roosevelt field
before less than 800 spectators. The
lone marker was made in the last
seconds Of the first half as Ray 500
plunged over from the 1-yard line.
The ball had been placed there
when Roosevelt drew a 15-yard
penalty.
On two other occasions Eastern
was within striking distance, but its
attacks begged in the mire. Roose-
velt's heavier line could do little
under yesterdays conditions, and the
Rough Riders took to the air for
their few short gains. George
Zuras, back in the final game after
suffering a broken nose earlier in the
series, did most of the tossing, COM
pleting 10 of 10 attempts to Danny
Boother, Dick Metzler and Yankee
Laddbush.

Victory Over Gamer

the last five years, has only Melio

But Lewis is not champion here.

Hall Ruted Best of All
Who Faced Coloniuls

Seven of George Washington's S
nine football opponents this season
produced players good enough to be
regarded as the best at their re-
spective positions on an all-oppo-
nent eleven selected by the Col
lonials. Mississippi and Clemson
placed three each and West Vir-
ginia, Kansas, Bucknell, Butler and
Davis -Elkins one. Mississippi, which
defeated G. W., $50, was voted the
best team 1t played.
Parker Hall, Mississippi's all
America halfback candidate, was
named the outstanding player to
face G. w. all year, being unani-
nous selection of the players. The
backfield was completed by Quarter
back Hadley, also of Mississippi;
Tomasetti of Bucknell and Willis of
Clemson. The ends were Blackwell
of Mississippi and Shirk of Kansas,
the tackles Pennington Of Clemson
and Fedoravitch of Davis -Elkins,
the guards Atty of West Virginia

keep Mel Helm and Johnny Del
Isola, their backers-up, out of
every play. Helm, you know, has
been selected as all-league center
for five successive seasons and it's
his work in the secondary that's
as much responsible for that
choice as anything else. And the
Giants believe that Del Isola, who
was chosen on the leagues second
all-star team last year, is the
best guard in pro football.
From the way Leemans has
been coming along lately there's
no question that the Giants are
depending on him and Danowski

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Southern
California. the Southern Rose Bowl
nominee, is the best team on the
West Coast and now one of the
strongest in the country. But, for
all that, Southern California is on
a spot that is smoking hot. If the
Trojans are trimmed by Notre Dame,
they will march into the big Pasa-
dena Stadium and stand before
SO, 900 people with a record of three
defeats that never has
happened before in a Rose Bowl
carnival.
If the Trojans nail the Irish on
the chin it will be a far different
matter. A victory on Saturday
would lift them close to footballs s
peak. 1t would make the Rose
Bowl argument an entirely differ
ent affair. Another Southern Cali
fornia defeat would mean little or
no credit left for Duke to shoot at.
This puts terrific responsibility
on Southern California in facing a
much better backfield than the Tro-
jams can offer-and just about as
good a line-in playing a Notre
Dame team that has won eight
straight games and is out for a
clean mop-up.
If Southern California drops this
game, both the Sugar Bowl and the
Cotton Bowl can become more i'm
portant from every standpoint ex-
cept gate receipts.
Duke Line Is Powerful.
Duke. unbeaten, united and un-
scored-upon, is no rolling jugger-
naut. But it has q strong defensive
line, a great kicker in Upton, and
a knack of taking advantage of the
breaks that come its way. There
Is nothing spectacular about the
Blue Devils, but give them an edge
and they will hold it. At least, that
has been their record, topped by a
hard-won victory over Pitt in the
snow last Saturday.
The parade OF unbeaten, united
champions starts filing by the judges
stand. There can be no outstanding
national champion, but who gets the
blue ribbon? Notre Dame, Duke,
T. c. u, Tennessee or Oklahoma in
the upper brackets of block, kick,
tackle, run and pass?
Duke and T. c. U. are the only
teams that are safely placed beyond
all danger-bowl entanglements ex-
cepted. Notre Dame has Southern
California blocking the way. Ten
nessee has no light argument with
hieh-class Mississippi team in
Memphis this week end. Oklahoma
must handle Washington State, a
team that already has dropped seven
games. So Oklahoma, with one Of
the country's best, should finish un-
dented..
From this group, no one can deny
that Notre Dame has played the
hardest schedule. The blue ribbon
special will 60 to the Irish" II they

Duke has had the years finest de-

1873 victory.
Danowski has been doing the
sort OF passing that today finds
him at the head of pro footballs
marksmen for the fourth year in
a row. Indeed, he seems to be
getting better as he goes along,
for although his all-time average
is 48 per cent, he has averaged
81 per cent for 10 games this
season. That's just 4 percentage
points ahead of Baugh. But it's a
close race, for Danowski has
thrown eight more passes than
5ammy, and completed nine
more, while each has had eight
intercepted. Further, the dis
tance the Giants and Redskins
have gained on the heaves Of
these two are about equal, for
Danowski's passes have account

The best backfield I've seen belongs
to misunderstanding the best

bins, Cassiano and Goldberg. Here
is backfield that carries three fine
ball carriers and three of the coun-
try's best and hardest blockers.
The best line I've seen belongs to
Cornell, from tackle to tackle or
from end to end. No one could ham
die this line all year. The five un-
beaten leaders all had good lines
high-class lines. The best supply of
backs travels with Notre Dame
three good fullbacks, six good half
backs and at least two or three good
quarters.
The best passing attack rested

though Sid Luckman did a magnifl-
cent job with a much weaker team

on as much perfection as Upton did

|||ini Trustees Veto
Shelving Of zuppke
By Athletic Body
Act After Sports Boord
Had Induced Veteran
Coach to Resign
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Assoctated Press eports Writer.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Robert C..
zuppke, University of Illinois foot
ball coach for 26 years, can start
work on his 1899 eleven today with
assurance that his critics cannot
cause his removal.
That assurance was given the
dean Of Western Conference
coaches yesterday by the university
trustees, who, by a vote of 8 to /,
smashed an attempt to oust him.
The trustees veto of the proposal
by the university Athletic Board to
give the veteran leave of absence
until retirement age of IS was
viewed as strengthening Zuppkes
position at Illinois. Zuppke is SO
years old.
Regarded As Rebuke.
The trustees verdict was consid-
cred a rebuke to the Athletic
Board, which, dissatisfied with the
Illini's showing in recent years, had
demanded that zuppke step aside
and serve in an advisory capacity
at reduced salary, reputedly
$4,000 a year.
The trustees admittedly were
stunned by the proposal.
Trustee Harold Pogue of Decatur,
ILL.,, one of the outstanding athletes
in Illinois history, Immediately tele-
phoned Zuppke at his home in
Champaign. When zuppke in
formed him that he had resigned
against his wishes, Pogue led the
fight to veto the proposal.
The trustees subsequently settled
the matter in 20 words: THE Board
of Trustees of the University Of IL
linois disapproves any change in the
status of Coach Robert c. zuppke."
That meant that Zuppke. the old
fox of the gridiron, had outmaneu-
vered and defeated critics who have
been bowling for his scalp. When
the request was made for his resig-
nation. he surprised the Athletic
Board by signing it, knowing that it
must 60 to the trustees at their
meeting on the eve of the annual
Illinois football dinner.
Little Dutchman" Elated.
The Little Dutchman," as he Is
known on the Illinois campus, was
elated over the trustees decision.
He spent half of the night answer
ing telephone calls from alumni in
all parts of the country. They want
ed to assure him of their faith in
him and his methods.
I'm glad the Board of Trustees
acted as they did" Zuppke COM
mented with grin. I'VE probably
will have a worse football team next
year. and I wonder If the members
of the Athletic Board can take it.
They will have to take it next year.
