BANONIS FOR L. ID.
BY HAROLD kSAHL

In his last home stand, Capt.
Vincent Banonis, University of De-
troit's great center, again turned
in a sparkling exhibition and was
the outstanding player on the field
in the Marquette game Saturday
TO merit today's accolade.
Carrying a lateral pass. Vince
missed making a touchdown by
inches when the last Marquette
tackler. with a desperate lunge.
just pushed him over the sideline.
On offense he made things tough
for Marquette's backerup players
with good jolting blocks. And de-
spite wet ball he didn't make a
bad pass all day.
II was on defense mostly. how
ever. where he lived up to ALI
American standards. Marquette
running plays TO the short side
netted very little yardage because
Mr.. Banonis took personal charge
of all plays aimed in that direction.
IT is no wonder he is the No |
draft choice of three National
Professional League clubs right
now.

Ninth place Dawes causes all
the gossip in the Michigan Major
League. At Olympic yesterday Joe
Adams pupils took their turn at
pin blistering with 1868 to 1904
in winning two from Norge. Dawes
went over the 5000 line on a 1896
finish.
Henry Gavie uncorked 6S4 with
one of 268 and another of POI for
Dawes. In the 1896 production the
boys clicked as follows: Joe Grif-
fin. 204; Adams, 217; John Gavie,
200; Henry Gavie. 6S; and Mark
Collinak, 207. Norge had aggre-
gates of 104S and 1902 as Cass
Schlaff made 627. Joe Plappert,
CO., and Alfred Robinson. $40.
BEST OF SEASON
Dawes sniping was the best Of
the season today. Pabst had the
previous mark for high series at
1923 with Edelweiss doing 300l.
Gavie had high series except for
the fact his It's made several
weeks back still stands.
Tail-end Glenns (2952) pinched
