We have been advised by competent authorities that this situation, to bring

more agreeable to the Indians sup
porters. At the bottom Of the coast
conference year ago, Stanford was
overlooked in this years predictions
while Washington and Southern
California drew most of the atten-
ton. Yet the Indians, in the first
year of Clark Shaughnessy's coach
ing, marched through nine games
without a loss and right into the
Rose Bowl.
No team could match Stanfords
record, but notable for their un-
expectedly successful season were
Rice, which also started under a
new coaching regime with Jess
Nicely at the helm; Utah, winner
of the Big Seven despite the loss of
six regulars; Pennsylvania, Navy,
Iowa State, Wisconsin, Florida,
William and Mary and Mississippi
State.
The teams that failed to produce
after getting big buildups were even
more prominent. Among them were
Notre Dame, hailed at the start of
the season as the best Irish outfit
since Knute Rockne's day; Indiana,
Marquette, Duke, Georgia Tech,
Tulane, Arkansas, Texas Christian,
Colorado, Syracuse, Princeton and
Cornell.

For the benefit of those "thou-
sands" of cash customers who
were shut out at the windows
when, early in the week, they
sought tickets to the professional
playoff between the Redskins
and Chicago Bears, there are
plenty available.
The catch is that one must
pay scalpers' prices.
A man dropped around the
sports department-scalping in
the District is legal. including
Scalping on football tickets-and
offered a pair Of $3.50 seats for
20. Il won't have any trouble"
he said, when turned down.
"Thereu be plenty Of buyers.
I was just trying to help you
folks out" he added, magnani-
mously.
More reasonable were the
prices charged by ticket offices In
downtown hotels. In the hostelry
which housed National Football
League President Carl L. H.
Storck there were playoff tickets
sold in the lobby. The rap was
$40 for tickets originally priced
ct $3.50.

NEW YORK. Dec. ITO the
Pacific Coast Conference goes the
credit-and the blame-for some of
the biggest surprises of the 1910
football season.
Stanford's Indians, who literally
came from nowhere to win the Rose
Bowl nomination, biggest prize of
far Western football, easily took the
seasons honors as the most i'm
proved team of 1910. And the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles
stood high on the list of the years
biggest "busts," tabulated in the
annual Associated Press survey.
Ohio State was rated as the
seasons greatest disappointment,
however leading the Uclans in that
respect mainly because Ohio State
had a bigger preseason "buildup.'
U. c. L. A. was undefeated in 1899,
but it wasn't expected to do as we'll
after Kenny Washington had de-
parted. 1t didn't, losing eight Of
nine games. The Buckeyes, how
ever, were hailed as invincible be-
fore the 1910 season started. They
wound up with four defeats in
eight games.
The Stanford surprise was vastly

the fight through the general con-
vention.
One veteran official, in predicting
Luisetti's defeat, said ''if the A. A.
U. reinstated him, it would be an
invitation for any amateur star to
make capital of his athletic skill
and later count on regaining his
amateur standing"
The amateur status of II college
cagers who performed against a
Negro professional team in Chicago
recently depends on what was done
with the games proceeds. Daniel
j. Ferris, A. A. U. secretary, said
the players would not be barred If
the receipts we're donated to char
ity or used ito further amateur
sports"

CLEVELAND, Dec. THE Cleve-
land Indians are willing" to trade
Catcher frankie Pytlak to the st.
Louis Browns for a hitting
outfelder, says C. C. Slapnicka, vice
president of the Tribe.
Slapnicka indicated this after
William o. Dewitt, Browns vice
president. declared at st. Louis his
club would make an effort to &C
quire an experienced catcher and
mentioned Pytlak as possible
choice.

Pytlak," Slapnicka said, but the
Indians need an experienced out
fielder and We are willing to let him

will make the Indians a serious
pennant contender
"It's strange that Dewitt or Man
ager Fred Haney should wait until
they return home before expressing
an interest in Cleveland players. I
saw both at the minor league meet
ing in Atlanta early this week, but
neither expressed any interest in
Pytlak or any other member of the
Cleveland club
The Indians official regarded Out
fielder Rip Radcliff and Walter
Judnich of the Browns as good
players" but declared he "wouldn t
want to say at this time whether
either would be accepted in a trade
for Pytlak or. any other Indian"
The Indians hope to swing deal
for an outfielder at the Chicago
meeting, but we won't weaken any
other department to bolster the out
field" Slapnicka added. "We are
willing to trade several players, but
only on the condition the deal
strengthens the teams"

Battle as Feature
S. M. U.-Rice Tilt Is Rivol
For Headlines as Season
Reaches FinoI Stage
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7-Only a
scant handful of games remain to
finish the 1910 football season today,
but several of the teams concerned
will regard the season as successful
if they can win.
First there's the Southern Cali
fornia- -Notre Dame game, which is
expected to draw 10000 fans at
Los Angeles. Before the campaign
started they were hailed as couple
of great teams, but they failed to
show many signs Of greatness once
it got under way. A final victory
would do a lot to redeem their
poor showings. The Irish have
lost their last two games after win
ming six in a row while Southern
California's record shows three vic
tories, three defeats, two ties and
an attack of "fu."
This last item may be the de-
Gliding factor in the game. At one
time IS members of the Trojan
squad were down and yesterday
dozen remained indoors. However.
most of the keymen were expected
to play today.
Of about equal Importance is the
Southern Methodist-Rice game.
These teams had a tie with the
great Aggies for the Southwest
Conference season as their stake
although there was only a very
slim chance that either would be
chosen over the Aggies to play
Fordham in the Cotton Bowl jan
uary 1.
The other major games today sent
Auburn, one of the stronger teams Of
the Southeastern Conference, against
an in-and-out Villanova team;
Florida, perhaps the most surprising
team in the same circuit, against
Texas, which did some surprising
of its own by beating Texas A. and
M; South Carolina against The
Citadel in one of the Southern
Conferences traditional battles, and
Texas Tech, the great 'independ-
ent" of the Southwest, against San
Francisco.
