NEW YORK, Nov. 20-P)-
A couple of years ago when
ledge Lands was sick, he told
close friends that he intended 10
retire as baseball commissioner
whene his present term expires.
Whether the judge has
changed his mind since then, we
don't know, but it seems obvious
that he hasn't told the joint
major league committee that
recommended the extension OF
the present major lague agree
mnt In case you've never
read the document, about the
only limit 1t places on the COM
missioner's powers is the size OF
the fines he can assess {.
Somehow, we can't imagine the
club owners submitting them
selves to such arbitrary power
administered by anyone else
OF course, there's no question
about re-electing Lands as
long as he wants the job, but a
lot of good baseball men don't
like the idea of letting the COM
missioner do anything he
pleases, especially with that
promise that there'll be no dl-
minution of any commissioners
powers during his term of office.

FACE Rivals.
Michigan Hopes
TO Wind Up in
Top Position
BY JERRY LISKA

CHICAGO, Nov. 20 - up -
The blue chips will be down in
large stacks when Ohio States
undefeated Buckeyes clash with
their bitter and longtime grid
iron rivals, Michigans once
beaten Wolverines, in the pay
off game of the Western race at
Columbus Saturday.
Excepting the dynamite-load-
ed contest pending between
Army and Navy Dec. 2, the
battle looms as the seasons
most dramatic fray.
The Buckeyes, winners of
eight straight games, including
five conference starts, are lay
ing not only their league title
hopes but possibly a rose bowl
bid on the line against a team
that down drought the years
has been a relentless foe.
Michigan, unheralded but the
real sleeper" of 1914 with a
lone setback by Indiana marring
a nine game stint to date, will
not be without sufficient in
centive TO turn on the power.
The conference co-champions
from Ann Arbor can wind up on
top of the league standings with
record of six wins against one
defeat by spilling the Buckeyes
in their finale. That would
leave Ohio State second with a
81 performance, perhaps tied
with Purdue if the Boilermakers
can hurdle Indiana in their
traditional "old oaken bucket
battle Saturday.
HORVATH STARRED
Once again, it was Horvath
who led the way Saturday as
the Buckeyes brushed aside
Illinois 26-12 before a record
throng of 83,627 at Cleveland.
The Wolverines on the other
hand, were hard-pressed in de-
feating a o. stubborn Wisconsin
team $40 on two long touch
down runs.
PurdueS 800 trimming by
Navy was doubly painful N
that Boris Dimancheff, star Boil
ermaker halfback, was injured.
Without the bounding Boris, the
conference co-titlists have little
chance against Indiana's reVit-
allied Hoosiers whose sharp
shooting Bob Hoernschemeycr
gave them a 40 win over Pitts
burgh Saturday.
NORTHWESTERN 900
In the only other conference
game last week Minnesota
smeared Iowa ago to come
within striking distance of the
first division with only Wiscon-
sin left to play. Northwestern
