Shock on Wildcats

EVANSTON, ILL.,. Nov. 4 Up
-Northwestern's Wildcats, who
stamped q to defeat on Bob
Zuppke in his farewell game as
Illinois football coach last sea-
son, may get the same rough
treatment from Zuppe's success
sor, Ray Eliot, and his rejuve-
mated Illini this Saturday.
A game which in early season
appeared like cinch for the
favored Wildcats now looks like
moderated Illinois chance to
get back in victory stride after
two straight losses defeats
which put an end two weeks ago
to a promising four-game Illini
winning streak.
Northwestern, after shaking
off an expected opening game
defeat from the Iowa Seahawks,
slipped over a 3 to 0 decision on
Texas touted Longhorns the
next Saturday and appeared
headed to a Big Ten pennant-
contending season.
Then in succession came loss
es to Purdue, Michigan, Ohio
State and Minnesota. After the
Illini game the Wildcats must
face Wisconsin, Notre Dame and
Great Lakes--and if Waldorf is
to salvage anything from his
most disastrous season as North
Westerns coach, this Saturday is
the chance.
Sure-fire Otto Gaham, handi-
capped by a foot injury, will be

NEW YORK, Mo-. 4-R-
Joe Gordon, the great second
baseman of the New York YAM

valuable player of the American
League for 1912. preserving the
tradition that this coveted an
nual award usually goes TO .
member Of the pennant-winning
club. u
Since the baseball writer's A.
ISOLATION of America took over
in 1881 the task of selecting the
most valuable player, there have
been few breaks in the tradi-
ton and none at all in the last
four years.
Gordon's performance this
year was the best in his five
seasons with the Yankees, and
he unquestionably was power

However, the difference BE-

The Boston slugser might
have done better except for
some competition from one of his

WEST POINT, Nov. 4 - Earl
Blaik was discussing Harvard S
almost totally unexpected and
Dick Merriwellish triumph over
Princeton.
There was the Tiger with a
14-point lead at the half, Bob
Perina in the backfield and
smashing victories over Navy
and Brown and a 6-6 tie with
pulverizing Pennsylvania.
There was the Crimson bat
tered by the North Carolina Air
Cadets, Penn, Dartmouth and
Army and in a TT deadlock
with capable William and Mary.
The Cambridge infirmary has
been busy all fall and there was
no indication that this Princeton
game would relieve the situa-
ton.
A pass which ate up IS yards
with less than a minute to 60
was required to pull this one out
of the fire, but not until after
