TARTANS CONFIDENT Interest in Game Is Keen and Big Crowd Is Expected. Carnie Tech will attempt to do what has not been accomplished in 23 years when it invades South Bend, next Saturday beat Knute Rockne's Notre Dame team on its home field. The Rockne machine will attempt to uphold Notre Dame's amazing record of not being beaten on Car-tiers Field since 1905. The powerful Drake eleven tried it this year and went away with a 32 to 6 trimming and Notre Dame's more recent defeats of Navy and Penn State indicate that the Tartan face a real assignment. The clash with Notre Dame will provide Rocknemen an opportunity not only to keep their slate clean, as far as the home field record is concerned, but will give the Irish a chance they have been awaiting for two years to wipe out the experience suffered in 1926 when a power-erful Notre team, with national champiorij-nip honors within its grasp, invaded Pittsburgh and received a 19 to 0 setback at the hands of the Tartans.

The meeting between the two teams will be the fifth, and Notre Dame has won four. The first game was played in Pittsburgh in 1922, the Irish winning 19 to 0. In 1923 the score was 23 to 0. In 1924 the Tartans threw a scare into the Notre Dame outfit by holding them 19-19 at the end of the first half. The last two periods were a field day for the "Four and the game ended 40 to 19.

Devotees of various branches of athletics in western Pennsylvania have begun to do their bit to assure a merry Christmas for the unfor tunate little ones of Allegheny county, and it is believed that before the fund is closed, it will have reached record-breaking proportions. The "Good Sports" fund is an ad junct of the larger one being raised by The Press this year. Last year the Good Sports gave more than $1,300 to help along in this grand cause. This year the sports department of The Press has set the goal at not less than $1,500, and would be tickled pink if it should be double that amount. There is no necessity of boosting the cause.

It is one that appeals to everyone. There are in this county thousands of little boys and girls who will have no Christmas at all unless those more favored and fortunate play the role of Santa Claus to them. It doesn't take much from each one to make a fund that will provide for all needs, and it is hoped that every Good Sport in the district will come through. All gifts will be acknowledged through the sport columns of The Press. The fund started when the Pittsburgh Umpires' association gave $25.

Then The Press Editorial Duck-pin league came through with a check for $10. Last year the bowlers made a fine showing in the fund, and it is believed they will do so again. If every league were to give $10. it would mean more than $3,000 to help Santa Claus out. The Allegheny Chapter No.

118 of the Izaak Walton League of America, a fine organization of the best sportsmen in the world, has sent a check for $10 through its efficient and kindly secretary, John G. Mock. Let's not wait until the last minute, fellows, but board the Santa Claus bandwagon now. Send in your gifts and make some poor littJ tot happy on Dec. 25.

The fund to date: Pittsburgh Umpires' association. Pittsburgh Press Editorial Ducks 10 Allegheny Chapter No. 118, Izaak Walton League 10 Hiked 200 Miles to Game. As a hiker, Charles Townsend of Hull, England, admits he is the world's greatest soccer football fan. When his team played at Millwall recently, Townsend walked 200 miles to see the game.

And, ex cept for just the right degree of warmth, you never, know you have it on. Here's proof that quality on the Irish home field. The result of the game two years ago is serv ing as a reminder that nothing Is impossible between two elevens, and Carnegie scouts who have watched the Rocknemen all season have helped the Skioos to build up con fidence in the outcome. Although the Skibo squad is com' posed of a flock of sophomores, the gradual improvement in the team's play indicates plenty of trouble for future opponents. If the Irish sue ceed in staving off the Tartan horde, it can be safely predicted that a Notre Dame victory will come only after a bitter struggle.

It is axiomatic in football history at Carnegie Tech that the team always plays well against Notre Dame. The 1928 eleven will face the South Benders with the confidence that they will play well enough to win. EXPECT HIG CROWD. Reports emanating from South Bend are that the game has attracted attention from the beginning of the season, and that the largest crowd in years will be on hand to witness the classic. Graduate Manager Clarence Over-end announced that special cars have been chartered for the battle.

The round trip will be $13.92. The train will leave Friday at 11 p. m. and arrive in South Bend at 9 Saturday morning. On the return home the train will depart from South Bend Saturday at 11 p.

m. and arrive in Pittsburgh at 9 Sunday morning. After the Notre Dame contest the Tartans will turn to the battle with Chick Meehan's New York University outfit at Forbes Field Nov. 24. The New York affair also looms up as one of the feature attractions on the Tartan calendar.

The Violets boast of another powerful team and the game should tend to bring out some real football by both elevens. yet, but will hav a good representative when the drive starts. Joe Rodgers is coach and will play a guard position with Josey Singer and Frank Kunce at the other defensive post. Bobby Pfiaum, Belle-fonte Academy star, is back and will play center with Myron Sauers, Eddie Lehmann and By George, forward leaders. Dorsch, who suffered a knee injury last season and was out the major part of the season, started to practice, but again became incapacitated.

He will probably not play any more basketball, is his own comment regar '-'ng his injured knee. GOETZ RESIGNS AS PILOT. In connection vT the Schneider club roster, it loses its capable, energetic and hard working manager, Joe Goetz. For the past five years, back in trie days of the John Irwin organization, Goetz handled the business duties, but has advanced into higher circles. Always pleasant.

Goetz won manv niimlrprR in independent basketball ranks, but ine pressure oi Dusmess iorces nun to sever his connections entirely with the Schneider team. He will remain its staunchest follower, per- naps, but a new manager will be secured to fill his position a difficult task. In touching on the teams ot last. year which staged a wonderful spurt to be serious West Penn contenders, don't forget Webster Hall, which will not have a representative this year. Dalton Williams, last year's coacn, is tne cnie of the East Liberty club in the institutional loop now.

But how about the players from last year's W. H. club? Many of them were from Washmw. ton. Red Booth and Holmes will be with Washington Moose, Lodge No.

22, a newly organized but good club. Bill Rihanek will be at Dirk Schrading is coach of a local school; uea Hukie holas a position at the fashionable Webster Hall, and La-ban Wardel is attending college, WALLACE'S PREDICAMENT. While the basketball players are getting ready for the grind, the members of the well-banded Western Pennsylvania Referees' Assn. are having their "gray trousers" groomed for the floor campaign. Cal Bolster will resume an active role in the body this season as president while the assigning of officials will be one of the many tasks to occupy Max Hannum's moments as secretary.

If it can be remembered correctly, last year the referees' association recommended that no referee be permitted to play with any team or serve as coach of a college or professional team this season. That means a lot in the case ol Yanz Wallace, former Morry star, who is being sought again as a player by the Sianos and Golden-sons. Under the organization ruling Wallace would be eligible to coach the Knickerbockers, but would not be permitted to be a player or paid coach of the Siano club. Most likely Wallace will think twice before casting aside an opportunity of becoming a full-fledged referee this year as his prospects are very bright as one of the best young officials. If Wallace decides to officiate, as his friends believe he will, the Goidensons and Sianos will lose a valuable player.

United Press Staff Writer. Columbus, Nov. 10. The pow erful Iowa Hawkeyes smashed their way to a 14 to 7 victory over Ohio State today. With the loss went Ohio's hopes for the Big Ten conference title, while the Hawks by virtue of their untarnished record, all but assumed the championship.

Both teams were undefeated when they entered the game and although Iowa's title chances were strength ened, she must overcome Michigan and Wisconsin to win the crown. Rain deluged the field last night. and today's game was played in a drizzle which foiled Ohio's aerial play. The Hawkeye attack rolled up a yardage gain of 335 against 85 for the Ohioans. They were a juggernaut against a speedy, but helpless pigmy.

The statistics were all Iowas favor and the disparity between the teams was evidenced by the fact that the Hawkeyes made 17 first downs as against five for Ohio. OHIO IS OUTPLAYED. Ohio managed only three offensive marches. One of these netted a touchdown, but thereafter the scar let and gray was unable to stave oft Iowa's attack. In Mayes McClain, the giant In dian, and Glasgow, hard charging halfback, Iowa showed two of the greatest offensive backs ever seen the stadium.

McClain scored both of Iowa's touchdowns, the first in the second quarter, and the fourth just before the final gun in. the fourth. Helman, Ohic quarterback. smashed his way to the Buck's only touchdown and in making the drive, Ohio seemed to spend all of its of fensive strength Iowa drew first blood when an Ohio pass was intercepted in mid-field. The Hawks unloosed one of the prettiest drives Ohio has faced and it ended when McClain smashed over from the 3-yard line.

Nelson trotted into tne game only long enough to drop kick a perfect goal and the Iowans were leading, 7 to 0. Ohio came back and tied the score early in the thira quarter with a similar drive, started by Holman from Ohio's 48-yard line. Line bucks aud a forward pass made three rapid first downs and Holman smashed through center from the 13-yard line for the tally. Fred Barrat's kicking foot was working today and he booted the extra point to tie the score. Iowa's second drive to the Ohio goal was similar to the first.

Far- roh, the Hawks' left half, started the drive with an 18-yard run and first down on Ohio's 43 -yard line. An exchange of punts followed, but Ohio was weakened, and Iowa regained the ball and continued the march. Mayes McClain broke through center for 15 yards, and Faroh Amrill and Glasgow followed with long gains, taking the ball to Ohio's one-yard line, where the big Indian put it over. Nelson again entered the game only long enough to kick a periect goal and Iowa led 14 to 7, with but a few minutes to play. Only 46,500 fans saw the game.

More than 50,000 tickets had been purchased, out the skies were so murky and the stadium so wet that thousands remained at home. Line up: Ohio. Iowa. Alber L.E Moore Raskowskl L.T Plusner 3elby Westra Barrat Brown (c.) Griffith Roberts Larkins R. Jessen Fesler R.

By PAUL A. It. KURTZ. Within a verv short time, or to be more exacting a week from tomorrow night, basketball of 1928-29 will begin. For several weeks teams have been practicing, priming for the opening engagements which mean Just as much to them in their league competition as do contests later in the campaign.

Every club wants to be ready for the grand opening and verv few are exDected to be found lacking in perfection. League basketball, especially amateur, will again flourish in the Pittsburgh locality. There will be more leagues than ever and from the enthusiasm prevalent now, without doubt this should prove to be a banner year. Again, the feature West Penn league, composed of seven formidable teams, will function. The institutional circuit will also swing into action.

Press-Spalding combines have been formed and the pastime is to be unusually interesting if the teams measure up to advance predictions. Last season the Knickerbocker Club of Lawrenceville, sponsored by Patty Caslin and headed by Gene Boyle and Smiles Kennedy, was the West Penn league champion. But Only did It win the honors after cne of the hardest and exciting basketball races ever staged in local amateur floor history. Beating out Webster Hall and Ray Schneider quints was the stunt the Knickers liad to perform and if recollections mean anything the fans, too. en-Joyed the fine season.

Knickers, with nearly all their stars back, will again have a contender In the West Penn race. Ray Schneiders, the Aldermen from North Side, will also present a team worthy of good support. These are the only veteran clubs remaining from last year's league. The other five members are new entrants but the cream of local quintets. Penn Five, last year's amateur light first-class victors; S.

S. Falcons, Central league champs; Duquesne Saltzers. McKeesport, Hirshbergs and Edge-wood are the teams to make their flebut in the West Penn and attempts to take the championship way from the Knickers. EXPECT MANY CHANGES. There will be many changes In the personnels of the teams to play In the West Penn this season.
