paring hit defense against the great
icreen forward pus which enabled
tht Jayhawkeri to carry Amei off
their leet last Saturday, ana improv
ing hi offensive in every way pos
sibla. Coach Charles Bachman enter
ed uoon the fifth week of the Kansas
Afsie foot ball schedule with the
varsity squod of 30 men in tip-top
physical condition.
The four battles remaining on the
Aggie schedule are conference games
and r.one of them is considered oy
any meant an easy opponent by the
Aggie coaches. ' Next Saturday
Bachman will take his team to
Lawrence for the annual clash with
the Jayhawkers. Never in all ot
the history of the Aggie-K. U. con.
tests have the two teams been more
, evenly matched on paper.
Last week both elevens upset the
valley dopt-pot by defeating op.
poncnts considered much stronger
than themselves. The Jayhawkers
trimmed Ames by the margin ot a
touchdown, while the Aggies sent
the Missouri Tiger home with the
short end of a 7 to 5 score. The
week previous both teams played
elevens considered much their in
ferior, and each suffered defeat,
Kansas to Drake, and the Aggies to
Creighton.
While the Aggies are at the top
of the Missouri Valley championship
standing, Creighton's defeat not
scoring against them, K. U. must be
defeated if they are to keep their
position. Doth Oklahoma and Ne
braska have spotless records, and a
defeat at Lawrence next Saturday
would mean that the Aggies would
droo down to second place. Ne
braska and Oklahoma meet at Lin
coin next Saturday, so one or the
other is sure to emerge with a score
of 1.000, unless, of course, it is a tie,
in which event both would" be 1.000.
The average weight of the Aggie
team is lighter than last year, averag
ing 171 pounds. Schmjltz is the
heaviest man on the team, weighing
197 pounds, and Swartz, midget
Aggie quarterback, is the lightest,
weighing 145 pounds. The line from
end to end averages 182 pounds,
while the backfield weighs 16Q,

Nebraska Athletic Director
Investigating Feasibility ot Air
Route inXase ot Walkout
Lincoln. Neb., Oct. 27. The University of Nebraska
foot ball team, its coaches and possibly a faculty member
may use the air route m order to insure the team s presence
at Pittsburgh, Pa.; Saturday, November 5, for the intersec-
tional foot ball game between the University of Pittsburgh
and the University of Nebraska. ,
Fred W. Luehring, director of university athletics, an

It is likely that Babe Ruth never will play another game
within organized base ball.
That doesn't mean that the ruling powers of base bal
will suspend him for all time. But it does mean that Ruth is
so constituted that he's likely to balk at any punishment other
than a fine and promptly hurdle his portly way beyond the
confines of the organized game.
Ruth may be let olT with a fine but the chances of so
mild a punishment are slight. A suspension of some sort is
likely. And if a suspension comes. Ruth is likely to go to
the semi-pros.
team from Chicago also is being
considered, Mr. Luehring stated, and
if such transportation is made nec
essary, the team will leave here
Monday or luesday of next week.
Lincoln, ' Neb., Oct. 27. (Spe
cial.) Cornhusker prospects are not
so bright as was formerly supposed
in the clash with Oklahoma Satur
day. While Husker students have
been rating the Notre Dame game
as the great game of the season, it
remains to be seen whether Nebraska
can win from both Oklahoma and
Pittsburgh.
Notre Dame, an age-old toe, was
the sentimental "Big Game" while in
actuality the Husker mentor and his
associates rate the Pitt game above
the clash with the bouth Bend team
as a test of the Husker team.
Oklahoma is rated as having a
heavier line than Nebraska, while
the backfield as well as the line is
said to contain an all-veteran combi
nation.' The Sooners have a record
as champions of the Missouri valley
last year, which they will endeavor
to maintain in their game with Ne
braska Saturday. . .
Coach Dawson maintains secret
practice on the Husker athletic field.
It is noticeable that the Nebraska
squad is thinning down and that the
Huskers are getting more scrim
mage wprk than ever. Rumor has it
that the Nebraska mentor will try to
run the, heavy Sooners off their feet
in the week-end engagement. How
ever, to date, Nebraska has played
more of. a line bucking game than
the average team it has met, resort
ing to aerial attack only at strategic
moments. "
No word has . been given as to
who Coach Dawson will start in his
game Saturday. Lewellyn may get
another backfield position. Preston
is the other choice for the engineer
ing position on Nebraska's team.
Hartley, who started in the last few
moments of play against Notre Dame
will probably get his chance in Sat
urday's game against the Southern
aggregation.
Nebraska has bee'h out of the Mis
souri Valley conference two years
and has scheduled but three confer
ence games for this season, Okla
homa, Ames and Kansas.
Witnesses Summoned "
In Fight Probe
y.
Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 27.Wit
nesses believed to know whether
the bout of July 2, between Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion
and Georges Carpentier of France,
was a prize fight or a boxing match,
were summoned to appear today be
fore the Hudson county grand jury.
Justice Swayse directed the grand
jury last, montn .-to determine
whether the state law permitting
only boxing contests had been vio
lated.
The assessment of a stilt fine
perhaps wouldn't fret Ruth to any
extent. One reason is that he'd
probably cajole his Yankee owners
into paying it for him, or o shake
them down at contract renewal time
that they'd increase his salary to
more than meet the fine assessment,
.Would Pay Fine.
Plastering a fine unon Ruth.
therefore, would mean little other
than making the wholly innocent
Yankee club owners pay it in the
cud. Landis appreciates that angle
and undoubtedly, may decide that
Kuth isnt gome to shoulder his
own dose of punishment upon Rup-
pert and Huston.
Of course, the easiest wav out
would be to fine Ruth. The fence
and rule smasher then would
chuckle softly, figuring that some
body other than himself would pay
it in the end. All of which would
keep Ruth joyous and boisterous
and in organized base ball.
And that s something which seven
club owners other than the Yanks
devoutly wish. For Ruth, alone and
unaided, draws at least 500,000 per
sons to the games in which he par
ticipates around the entire circuit.
Certainly if the Yankee owners
alone were to have the choice of be
ing without Ruth or paying out
$50,000 fine for him they'd jump at
the $50,000 fine chance. For Kuth,
in a dozen games at home, in bitter
rival scries, would add at least that
much to the Yankee coffers.
Landis' "Rep" at Stake.
But Landis isn't one of those
citizens ' who deals out coats of
whitewash. His base ball reputation
is at stake in this case. It's the
first, big, monumental problem he
has faced. If he lets Ruth off with
a fine it'll help the American league
and make Landis one luminous
target for brickbats. For then it
can be said he didn't deal in justice
or punishment that he chose the
easiest way.
If Landis should suspend Kuth tor
part or all of the 1922 season with
out pay, the flambuoyant Ruth un
doubtedly will instruct organized
base ball to chase itself through all
nearby alleys and jump to some
semi-pro tram.
And that'll be the Ruthian finish
A half dozen leaders of con
spicuotis semi-pro clubs from va
nous cities already are lurking in the
ambush, waiting for the Landis rul
ing. If it bars or suspends Ruth
they'll leap forth with offers. And
Kuth,- "penny wise dollar foolish"
probably will grab one or the other
and then the doors or. organized
base ball will be closed to him for
all time.
Loses Popularity.
Kuth concluded the ly.'l season
the most conspicuous figure in base
ball hero of heroes. He galloped
into the world series with his name
on the lips of American fandom, He
was lionized by some, idolized by
omers admired by millions.
But now it's different.
For Ruth's action in hurdling the
base ball rules has provoked a feci
ing of pity and also contempt for
him. His flagrant violation of the
law, his arrogance in the matter, his
how great I am attitude has
knocked him off the pedestal upon
which he reigned.
Kuth lost friendships and admira
tion by his act; he lost his national
popularity; he lost the respect of
many, and now he is in dancer of
losing his connection with the or
ganization which gave him his chance
to make fame and riches for him-
elf.
What has happened to the rash.
egotistical youth already, and what
will happen to him when Landis
gives his ruling, will ever serve as a
lesson to ballplayers:
Be humble and obey the law.
