mCAGO,' Nov. 30.—
t'lieer leaders
have hung up
their white flair
nels until next
fall, the last
cheer lias died
away in tlie mid,
empty concrete
stadiums, . the
colorful crowd
lias thinned out
and have gone
to the firesides to
discuss the most
nerve rucking
football .season
the midwest lias
known in years.
Tlie 1924 grid
icon season i nthe western confer
ence, which shattered all atendance
records, lias been over for a week,
hut it will be a long time before it is
forgotten. The season, which closed
with Chicago ns champions and Illi
nois, the post-season favorite, in a tie
with Iowa for second place, present
ed two outstanding games that re
sulted in tlie upsetting of Illinois, be
sides notable exploits of individual
stars.
Perhaps the outstanding game of
the season was Chicago’s 21 to 21 tie
with Illinois, when the "fighting Mi
ni” with their famous "Red" Grange,
entered the game as almost certain
winners.
Ranking next In importance to the
Ohlcago-Illinols game was the Illi
nois upset and the stopping of
Grange, theretofore unstoppable, by
Minesota the following Saturday.
Clarence Schutte, the Minnesota
plunging halfback, played the Grange
role for his team In this sensation
ally fought battle, overwhelming Illi
nois, to the surprise of everyone, by
a 20 to 7 score. It was Minesota's
final chance to win a conference vic
tory for the season.
Illinois will remember the battle
with Michingan when Grange brought
Die gridiron world to its feet by
sprinting 95 yards for a touchdown
after lie received the opening kick
off and then adding two more touch
downs so quickly that the spectators
were left dumbfounded.
Admirers of Amos Alonzo Stagg,
whose Maroons captured the 1924
honors of the ltig Ten, will long
cherish memories of the defensive
game which Chicago put up against
"Wisconsin when the Badgers threat
ened to cross Hie Maroon goal line in
the final game of the season and de
prive Stagg’s warriors of the title.
They also will remember how the di
minutive Bob Hurley saved the
Northwestern game by booting a field
goal in tlie last couple of miutes to
play, which gave Chicago a 3 to 0 vic
tory. They will also recall how he
kicked a field goal which enabled
the Maroons to tie Ohio.
Mielih’.an is in a position In boast
ni staging a strong eomebark after
M disastrous setback at (he hands of
Illinois. Tlie Wolverine* won tour
successive games after tlie slaughter
at Champaign, three of which found
their opponents unable to score.
Then, in the final game, the Wolver
ines were upset by Iowa to the tunc
of 9 to 2, giving Bert Ingwersen,
Iowa’s 25-year-old coach, a tie for
second place.
Wisconsin suffered its most, disas
trous season In years, its bet being a
tie with Minnesota, followed by avow
of defeats until they fought the cham
pion Chicago team to a scoreless tie
on the last day of the season. Ohio
was likewise handicapped by Injuries
and lack of sterling material.
Northwestern fans regard their
team as one of the best in years.
Their first conference victory in
more than two years and close bat
tles with Chicago ami Notre Uaine
embellish their record. Ralph Bak
er's toe figured largely in their scor
ing.
Northwestern stopped the "four
horsemen” of Notre Uaine twice with
in the 15-yard line on the last day of
Hie Big Ten season, hut the famous
four finally put over two touchdowns
for their sixth straight victory of the
Reason. Notre Dame was the only
major eleven in the country not de
feated or tied this year, with the
Scalps of Princeton, Army, Georgia
Tech and Nebraska among those on
tlie saddle horns of the "four horse
men."
Indiana and Purdue hud fewer con
ference games than usual tills year,
lint each had one conferern-e victory
when they met, Purdue dedicating its
new stadium with a clear-cut vie
lory.
Missouri, by defeating their an
cient rivals, the Kansas .luyhawkers,
14 to 0. on Thanksgiving day, cap
tured the championship of the Mis
souri Valley conference, f.vitlv Ne
braska finishing second and Drake
. Hill'd. Tlie Missouri Tigers went
Hirougli the season with only one do
feat, losing to Nebraska early In the
season.
Baylor university was Hto wlnnei
of the Southwestern conference chum
pionshlp, nosing out Southern Meth
odist university. Neither leant was
defeated In competition, hut. the
Southern Methodists played four ties,
while Baylor had only one tin battle.

New York, Nov. 23.—Baselinll gns
nips are retailing a story that the
Boston Braves are for sale amt that
the price of the franchise is less
than 1400,000. According to insiders
the stockholders are not willing to
stand further losses and the club of
ficials, as a result, are unable to ob
tain new players.
Manager Bancroft has been in
Europe with the Giants and the
White Sox and has not communi
cated with the Boston owners since
the end of the baseball season. The
National league, it is said, is consid
erably worried over ttie situation in
Boston and will take It up at tlie De

It Is also believed that Judge I mil,

among the missing. Conklin is the
official who years ago was ruled off

Chamberlain, Weller Draw Berths
on All-Star Pro Football Teams
A Wealth or star material cavort
ed around the professional foot
ball field this year at handsome
salary figures, but there again was an
absence of high-class centers. Kvery
team had three or four star Kickers
and tile player who couldn't drop or
placekick was more of an exception
than the rule and kicking stars who
dazzled fans in other seasons found
themselves eclipsed. Tile predomin
ance of goals from the field in the
professional game was in marked con
trast to its absence from collegiate
play this season.
In making up an all-star aggrega
tion of pro players no attempt lias
been made to judge the performers
purely on their individual excellence
but solely on their ability to fit in on
a team that might he considered the
best that eould lie gathered together
in the national professional league.
The game today requires both fast
and heavy men, players in the baek
fkdd capable of triple or even quad
ruple threat of unusual stamina: line
men rangy and rugged with strength
amt agility—all quirk wilted enough,
to adapt themselves to radical shifts
in play both on offensive and ttie de
fensive. There are brilliant individ
ual performers who are lamentably
weak in thus adapting themselves.
They must Ik- thrown out of consider
ation.

Eastern Scorers
McBride's Toe Wins Him
Second Place Honors—Gar
bisch's Booting Outstand
ing Performance.
By ANflorlatcd 1'rrw.
KW YORK. Nov.
30—John McBride,
of Syracuse, lord
his way into sec
ond place among
eastern football
with three field
goals at the Polo
grounds Thanks
giving day which
defeated Columbia
total of 9(1 points.
He was unable, however, to overtake
Helnie llrnkert, and the Rutgers hark
fiehl marvel leads the final list with
an even 10(1, the only player to reach
the three figures.
Eddie Tryon of Colgate, who had
two games in which to overcome the
Benkert margin, failed utterly before
Syracuse and Brown and ended the
season one point behind McBride.
Walter Koppisch of Columbia and
B ruder of West Virginia climbed over
Hazel of Rutgers during the week.
Kckberg of West Virginia, Graham
of Fordham and Douglas of Pennsyl
vania mounted the ladder to finish
among the first J.j.
Benkert scored the most touch
downs, 16; McBride the most field
goals, 11, and Hazel the most points
after touchdown, 25.
The outstanding kicking perfor
mance of the week was Garbisch's
booting of four field goals for the
Army Saturday against the Navy.

Something
to Worn
.
Washington. Nov . "ft.—Spectators
watching athletic contests from seats
in modern stadiums need have no ap
prehensions that the structures will
collapse when the crowd, in its eager
ness to watch some close play, rises
suddenly to its feet, or to “rattle"
an opposing pitcher engaged in con
certed stamping. Tests just made by
the bureau of standards have dis
closed. it was announced today, that
the concrete, steel reinforced stands
have a textual strength «f 4.000
pounds to the square in« h. and since
the burden imposed by rapacity
crowds, xvliile quietly seated, is only
1,000 pounds per square Snell, what
may be considered a safe margin of
resistance is left to take tare of tlie
emotional moments,
1 ndcr the worst conditions occur
ring during the course of a game, the
additional strain caused by the move
ment of tile crowd wa» shown to in
crease sometimes about 300 pounds
per square inch. The greatest strain
from the view of safety, however,
arises when the crowd stamps. When
such demonstrations happen to strike
“the natural vibration iieriod of the
structure,” the additional stress lias
been found to run as high as 150 per
cent.

Three Elevens
Claim Eastern
Grid Honors
Yale, Penn, Dartmouth Finish
Season Undefeated—^ il
lianis. Army Possess Un
di'jnited Laurels.
Ansoelated I're*t»,
KVV YORK, Not. Sr
—Three elevens
stand nut with strong
claims for eastern
football honors in the
I Pit season. Yale,
whose mighty ma
chine a year ago
shared the top with
< irnell, finished her
second successive sea
son without defeat by
again conquering ,
Harvard and Prince
ton for the "Big
Three" crown, but
i. tv is » . ,e forced to di\ ide the
• ear,on's spoil, with Pennsylvania and
Dartmouth.
None of this trio was beaten. hot
all were tied in a campaign which de
veloped a continuous succession of
f< rm upsets. Pensylvanla and Hart
mouth. with nine and seven »ietories &
apiece, were lied pine each, while
Vale, held to eicn terms by Hart
mouth, also was tied by Army as an
offset to six victories.
All three contenders finished their
schedules impressively, Pennsylvania
and Dartmouth byi downing Cornell,
while Yjj|e trounced both Princeton
and Harvard. Dartmouth and Yale
displayed brilliant offensive*, while
Pennsplvania's forte was a remark
able defense, hut the merits of all
three rivals offer little basis for rank
ing them other than in a triple tie.
The only iiossessors of undisputed
Laurels in the east were Williams,
which conquered Amherst and Wes
leyan for the "Janie Three" title, and
Army, which won the service cham
pionship yesterday when Captain
Garbisch booted four field goals to
niake up the Cadet margin of II to 0
over Navy.
Among earlier contenders, Rutgers
loomed as a iiowerful entry until de
feated unexiiectedly by Bucknell.
wthich in turn was the victim of an ^
upset at the hands of little Dickin
son. I-ehlgh was unbeaten until her
final game uas lost to Joiayette.
Ashland Uritl Kleven
♦ -loses Season l ndefeated
Ashland. Neb.. .Nov. SO.—By defeat
ing the fast Wahoo aggregation on
the local gridiron. Coach Storkan's

ball season for the Ashland High

touchdowns and had the tall on the
