Because the race track throws open its doors Hodgins Leading Scorer as Tulane Beats Sewanee By RALPH WHEATLEY Tulane Stadium, New Orleans, Nov. 21. (IF) By a score of to m-lane's Green Wave rolled up its at Jefferson Park Thanksgiving day the annual tussle between the Tulane Orecnles and the Louisiana State Tigers will not take place until 6aturday. Alabama and Vandy will have their duel and the Mississippi rivals, Ole' Miss and the Aggies, will be at each other's throats. Kentucky and Tennessee will settle their annual grudge and Duke and Washington and Lee will hook up.

VJ1.I. and V.PX. will put their clothes In the football wash together and others to hook up will be Georgia versus Georgia Tech, South Carolina versus Auburn, Clemsoa versus Furman and North Carolina State versus Miami. In the Dixie conference, Oglethorpe and Mercer will carry on their rivalry and Chattanooga and Centre will clash. MlUsaps and Mississippi College will hook up for the S.I.A-A.

honors of their state. Over In Natchitoches, Louisiana State Normal and Southwestern of Lafayette will meet as S.I.A.A. foes. Aside from the Centenary-Arkansas game In Shreveport that is developing Into a feud. Interest will center in the annual game between the Texas Aggies and the Longhorns.

That's the Important game In the southwest conference and all contests step aside In Its favor. Other lamous battles will be between Oklahoma and Oklahoma Aggies, Pennsylvania and Cornell, Pittsburgh and Nebraska, St. Louis U. and Washington and out on the west coast St. Mary will meet Oregon.

Loyola of New Orleans will hook up with Santa Clara, but that will call for Intersections! rating. As the Gents turned Saturday to their annual tilt with Arkansaa they faced the opportunity of finishing the season with something of a creditable showing or pulling up only with a .500 per cent mark. The defeat by the Texas Longhorns Friday afternoon put Centenary's record for the season at five wins and four defeats. A loss Thanksgiving Day will mean Just an even break In the ten-game schedule. This accounts for the message of the Norton men that they are going somewhere at the expense of the Porkers.

Thursday's tussle with the Porker will be the fourth meeting with that team for Centenary. The first battle was a 33 to 6 win for Arkansas and after that there was a break for a couple of seasons. In 1929 the Porkers won 13 to 2 and in 1930 the Gents turned the table by a margin of 7 to 6. This will be the fourth game of the season for Centenary with a Southwest Conference foe. They defeated Baylor by a brilliant comeback la the last quarter but lost to S.

M. TL, Texas Aggies and University of Texas. Overnight Centenary's grid stock went skyhigh with the results that the Gents will be given serious consideration in the game with Arkansas. A week ago the Porkers would have ruled top heavy favorites, but the Maroon and White showed enough form against Texas to make them worth considering. As a whole the Porkers have not been so hot this season and the recent loss of Winton "Cowboy" Kyle from tha backfleld has hurt the team to some extent.

Kyle played a great game against Centenary the pas two seasons. Just as long as Ben Cameron's educated toe is in working order ths Gents win. not greatly worried, Cameron showed Friday that he can be depended upon in a pinch. Time after time Cameron's long punts brought his team out of the hole) and although Texas gained a couple of hundred yards by rushes from scrimmage and considerable territory through the air they scored but one) touchdown. After a night's deliberation th fans were singing the praise of Joe) OUphant, Lefty Taylor and Young of the Centenary forwards for their game Friday with Texas.

The hustle that PaUlson and Lee showed In going down under kicks was also the) topic of conversation and Johnson and Wilson's work as guards was good. The Porkers battle Rice at Houston Saturday after a week's layoff. Down the last stretch of the football season the Centenary Gents go rolling this week. They have mounted the locomotive and say they will taka. the University of Arkansas Razorbacks for a ride Thanksgiving day.

A victory will put them in the land of teams with a percentage better than .300 per cent for the season. Way upon the top Is Crofford Womack, with his oil can, ready to loosen up the Centenary football machine. Womack acts as field general at times and the otl can Is appropriate to him. FAIR PARK INDIANS RALLY IN LAST HALF TO BEAT WINNFIELD AND REMAIN IN RACE By RAY WINN After having their efforts to score repulsed three times in their first half. Fair Park high school Indiana broke loose early In the last half to score three touchdowns and defeat Wlnnfleld Tigers, 20 to 0.

By virtue of this win the local prep school ninth straight victory over Sewanee here today In a charity game played under intermittent hard showers before approximately 8.000 spectators. The score could have been much larger but Coach Bernle Blerman pulled out his varsity players and let his second team carry on for half of the game. The Sewanee Tigers put up a hard fight but their plays were smothered in the making and but for a few moments of play. They gave Tulane little better than a practice game. Jerry Dalrymple, Tulane's candidate for all-American end, was out of the game, as was Lowell Dawson, regular quarterback, but Don Zimmerman, playing halfback for part of the game, gave a demonstration of blocking and running that was something to behold.

He made two of the six touchdowns, one by a 50-yard run, kicked two extra points, did most of the punting and blocked out scores of tacklers. Nollle Felts, at fullback, scored a touchdown, keeping up his record of scoring in every game Tulane has played this season. The fleet-footed Hodgins of Shreveport made three touchdowns in criss-cross runs and the stout guard, Scafide, opened the way for play after play. Sewanee surprised Tulane by taking the ball on downs after the line had held against the hard charges of Zimmerman and Felts but the Tennessee mountain players could register only two first downs during the game. For the visitors Gee, fullback, Mc-Clure, right half, and Kellerman, quarterback, stood out.

By PAtX MICKELSON. (AuMclated Press Sports Writer.) South Bend, Ind Nov. 21 Notre Dame's mighty fortress of football, Impregnable against 28 assault In almost three years of grid-Iron warfare, fell at last today. Fluttering' over lta ruins tonight flew the Cardinal and Gold battle flag of the roaring Trojans from Southern California, who astounded tha world of football by ransacking it with one 15-mlnute rush In the last period of battle today by a margin of 10 to 14. Tha final rush came Just when It looked as If the big Notre Dame guns, Marchy Schwartz and Steve Banas, seemed certain of winning the game.

Trailing by two touchdowns as they entered the final period, the Trojans could not be denied as they smashed the Irish wall. They dashed and passed their way to one touchdown In four minutes, rushed over another one to come within a point of tying the battle, and then triumphed as the frenzied crowd of 52,000 spectators, treated to one of the greatest struggles In the lore of football, watched Johnny Baker, Trojan left guard, arch a perfect placement kick through the uprights. Baker's kick, coming with but one minute of play remaining, was an lronlo touch for old Notre Dame, which has witnessed its fighting army march on through 25 victories in 25 starts. The kick beat Notre Dame as the "Fighting Irish" had three times defeated the Trojans. More ironical was it that the kick enabled the Trojans to be the first and the last to defeat Notre Dame, as It was the same Invader from the west who conquered Notre Dame's football army way back In 1928.

If ever a football team deserved to win. It was Coach Howard Jones and his Cardinal and gold-shlrted giants from the west today. They rocked the Notre Dame Citadel recklessly and consistently. Three times they threatened before success came. In the first period, they smashed their way to Notre Dame's three-yard line only to lose their precious chance for the first score on Jimmy Mustek's fumble.

Two minutes later, they rammed to the enemy 11-yard line only to be stopped by Inches. And once again, in the third period, they found themselves beaten back with 10 yards to go. But what looked like the saddest break of all came after they had scored their first touchdown when Baker's kick for the extra point was blocked. But they couldn't be denied after that. Great offensive play by Sparling and Shaver, who worked a pass formation that netted 40 yards, gave the Trojans their last chance.

Denied by the powerful Notre Dame wall, Baker then slipped back to the 24-yard line and place-kicked the big boot that ended the battle. Mohler held the ball. Thus the last were first. The Trojans had come back after their unmerciful 27 to 0 licking of a year ago to accomplish what no other team had done in almost three years and the greatest crowd to witness a game In the stadium that the Immortal Knute Rockne built gave them a thunderous ovation.

Canada May Have Clubs in Four Minor Leagues At present Montreal nd Toronto in the International League are the only Canadian cities in organized baseball, but before another season Is opened there may be Canadian cities in four leagues, from coast to coast. Winnipeg sportsmen are still dickering with St.

Paul for the transfer of that franchise. The Michiean-Ontario circuit may be revived with several Ontario cities entered. A new minor league in the northwest may Include Vancouver and The Indians made two serious threats to score in the first two periods. In the opening quarter they wasted little time in carrying the ball to the Tigers' 15-yard line, but Wlnnfleld held to gain the ball and punt out of danger. In the second period Wlnnfleld line again stopped the Fair Park rally by holding on the one-yard line after Black had recovered a Wlnnfleld fumble on the 19-yard line.

The first Fair Park score came In the latter part of the third quarter when Justus took a punt and was downed on his 49-yard line. On the first play Creegan started around left end, flipped a neat lateral pass to Mlddleton and the Indians' fleet fullback stepped the 51 yards for a score. Mlddleton was stopped in try- The game was played on a rain- soaked field and was featured by the fine running of Davis Mlddleton, lng to make the extra point through the line. The second touchdown also came through the efforts of Mlddleton. After repeated off tackle ouslaughts from mldfleld he scored a four-yard crash between right tackle and end.

Mlddleton again tried for the extra point through the line and this time was successful. Soon after the kick-off the Indians scored their final touchdown when Creegan broke through center to place the ball on Winnfield's 25-yard line. After the line had been shifted, making James Black, Fair Park tackle, eligible to catch passes, the swift lineman took a bullet heave from Creegan and stepped 20 yards for a touchdown. Justus' kick from placement went squarely between the goal posts for the extra point. After the final touchdown, the Fair Park reserves began to pour into the fracas and the Wlnnfleld boys started a rally which was stopped by James Black intercepting a pass on Fair Park's 40-yard line.

Fair Park fullback who scored two of his team's three touchdowns. The Indians managed to mark up eight flrstj downs to their opponent's four and completely out-played the visitors In the last two quarters. Due to the wet condition of the field few passes were completed and fumbles were numerous.

The surprise defeat of the Trojans of California over Notre Dame and the loss by Harvard to Yale removed previously two undefeated or tied teams from the picture. Northwestern Wildcats are undefeated but have the tie game with Notre Dame on their record.

The great Greenles of Tulane university, the Ponies of S. M. TJ. and Tennessee, all representatives of Dixie, have clean slates. There were quite a few surprises around the country Saturday, but none came as a greater shock than the loss of the fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

The universal sentiment seem to favor an undefeated season for the Irish as a tribute to their late and lamented leader, Knute Rorkne.
