Brown. Coach Zuppke's recent frank statement that "Red" Grange, brilliant star of the Illinois football eleven. Is the perfect grid player, is of Interest to the sport world in general and to sundry other gents who were given the name "Harold" before they were o'd" in Grange's actions when he hits "Red" is proud to announce that he was christened Harold and lived It down. There is nothing of the "Harold in Grange's actions when he hits the line, hurls- forward passes or brings down runners in open field. Zuppke say's that Grange has the speed, the build, the brain and the feet necessary to make the perfect He has been the outstanding star of the lUinl in the biggest year it has had In recent campaigns.

Grange's great work all season assures him of a place on the leading All-Amerlcan and All-Western selections when the experts start choosing their mythical unbeatable elevens. He stands out now as the greatest all-round backfleld star in the "West if not in the entire country. CONTEST IS WITNESSED BY OVER 7,000 FANS i By Paul V. Fitzgibbon. The famous Emerson High team, champs of Indiana and unscored vAi- on in two years, lnvadsd the lair of Tornado." Last evening thi3 same colored, mild gust of wind crawled out of the lair gratefully a 7-to-0 victory and proclaiming the purple Jerseyed Central football warriors the greatest aggregation they have played In the past two years of their triumphant and unspotted career.

Victims of Circumstances. i At that, the Bearcats lost only because they were victims of circumstances because they bumped into a strange situation and one which is solved only after experience. The lone touchdown for the Emersonlans has been termed a fluke although It was technically and legally earned. It came because Emerson took advantage of a momentary lapse in the Bearcat defense, resulting from a misunderstanding of the officials" signals and the rules governing tnemk Nov. 17 (By The Associated Press).

In what was probably the closest, most thrilling- finish in the history of the American turf, Zev, winner of the Kentucky 'Derby and conqueror of Papyrus, reversed the victory that In Memoriam scored at Latonia two weeks ago by defeating him. according to the Judges' decision, by a scant nose in a match race at. one and one-quarter miles at Churchill Downs today. Newspaper photographs of the finish show that the heads of the two horses are on practically a dead line, with In Memoriam having a fraction the better of it, if anything. Spectators on the finish line contended that In Me-moriam's nose was projected farther than Zev's at the line of finish.

The newspaper photographs seem to bear out this opinion. The photographs, besides showing In Memoriam to be a fraction of a nose in the lead eighteen inches from the wire, show one of his forefeet as just having hit the track and his body lurglng forward from the impact of the stride while Zev's, corresponding foot is on Us downward motion and cannot have given him an added impetus on the final jump before both crossed the wire. The' controversy over, the thrilling ending will not be ended by newspaper photographs, as spectators, a number of them directly beneath the judges' stand and on a direct line with the pole, were telling the world tonight that In Memor'nm had won. Bach person was confident he was right, because each "saw it with my own eyes." Thrill Sets Crowd Wild. The hurricane finish 'was so close that hardly a spectator in a crowd of to, 000 persons.

with the "Tiossible exception of Harry P. Sinclair, owner of Zev, realized that, he had won. until the official decision of the judges had been posted. The climax of the race furnished a thrill that set the crowd wild with excitement." as almost everyone thought that In Memoriam faad triumphed as tlie two great 3-year-old rivals floundered into the wire, racing neck and neck, with scarcely an Inch separating thir noses. Tra'ned observers, with years of experience In watching close finishes, shouted that In Memoriam had won, but received the shof-k of their- lives second later when the judges posted Zev as the winner.

The finish, in the opinion of furf experts, was so c)o that the race could have been called a dead heat and not provoke an argument from admirers of either horse. Slower Thtfn Record Time. The race was won In 2:06 3-5, three and two-fifths seconds slower than the track record the distance established by Woodtrap In 1921. but Woodtran d'd not carry the Impost of 126 pounds that both In Memoriam and Zev carried today.

as a result of his victory, becomes the greatest money-winning race horse In the world. Owner Sln-Contlnued on Seeond Vnm Second Section. i -u s- 4 1 if A 9 i Jd 'v A 1 11 3 4 X. V- ''I'- i 'J IHIIIII I South Bend. Xov.

The many aubstitutes were rospotiaibla for tha The play question occurred late In the first quarter. Gary had the ball on the fifty-yard line and on a line play, with Hughes carrying the bail. Head Linesman Phillips blew his whistle, while the play was In motion, because of offside play by Munele. The Muncie players. hearing the whistle and presuming either that It was the referee's whistle or that the headllnesman could declare the ball dead bv whistling, let Hughes canter the fifty yards to the goal line with no effort to ftop him.

Option Was "With Gary. According to the rules. If the defensive team is offside, the offensive team has the option of accepting the regular five-yard penalty or the distance gained on tbe play. Naturally, Emerson accepted the distance gained, which was for touchdown. The touchdown was unearned, but was made possible because the visitors followed the fundamental football maxim of advancing the ball until stopped by orce.

Following this heart-breaking "bit of 111 the Bearcats came back and battled the "Go den Tornado to a standstill, but were unable to cross the goal line. Time after time when a drive to the goal appeared imminent some break intervened to spoil" the effort, or the Emerson team stiffened and held. I Although the fighting, crying Cen-tralites outplayed outgamed the visitors during most of the last three quarters and piled up an lndisputab'e statistical advantage the jinx that ruled In the state basketball tourney last spring iwas again on the Job, and the Bearcats mus' wait another year to win the championship of the state. All contentions of other teams that Centrals record for the season was "set-up" and that it ba no Just right to play for th championship were set at naught. They told the world and showed the 7 000 or more spectators who packed Wa'ntit Street Park that 'hey are of championship class in every respect.

Tat Ip AVonderfnl Defense. Once more the Bearcats forward-passed an enemy Into submission, but this was only one phase of their great battle. Althoutrh forewarned about the prowess of "Tootie" Thornburg. unbeatable catcher of passes the Emersonlans became dizzy trying to cover the elusive and glue-fingered "Tootle." Six times he snatched passes from the very fingers of Garyites. The bolcness with which George and Thornburg executed their passes in the fina quarter was a positive Insult to the Invaders.

More startling than the passing, however, was the magnllcent defense offered by the Bearcats. The line p'sy. considered a weakness through the season. bafTled almost all attempts of the Gary backs who have ripped to nieces all opposing, lines for two years. It was.

a rare thing for the elephantln DUnlenvy or Hughes to make an appreciable dent In the Central wall. All linemen performed nobly, but the work Oh'emacher and Taylor stood out. The former almost toyed with Captain Kerr of Emerson, nnd Taylor clear'y outplayed Mike Mobardt On infreqtient occasions when the Gary backs broke throughthe line they were soon nailed by Central's secondary defense.

All of these except Taylor have earned two football monograms. He has finished his first year with the team. "Earned" is the proper term, for these Bearcats worked and fought through a year bristling with defeats, but wound up with a glorious season. Good Material for Next Year.

While the loss of this group might be expected to be fatal to the team, the Bearcats are fortunately situated with material for the 1924 team. In fact, the remaining members of the squad will form a better balance between the line and backfield than did the squad which greeted Coach Myrick last September. George Joris, Boston. Kenny Wash and Liggett, backfield players, all have at least two more years to play. Returning linemen will be Eckenberg.

Teeterday afternoon seven Bearcat football players six regulars and one substitute uton their purple jerseys, moleskin pants, shoulder pads and cleated shoes to fight on the gridiron for the last time for Central. Because of graduation or eligibility rules the game with Gary was their last for the Purple and White. Six of the seven were "veterans," having played with the team 'ast year, when footbal1 was reinstltuted, after an absence of several years. No matter what success Central grid teams may have in the years to come, the fighting warriors who fyiished their football careers at Walnut Street Park yesterday afternoon have made football, history that time will never dim. Overcoming inexperience, tackling whatever opposition came their way and wishing for more to do they set an example for all Bearcats of the future to fol'ow.

In two short years, they developed Into stars of the first water and were largely responsible for the high place their team gained in Hoosierland.
