This would have been one of the greatest sport years in history but the Olympic games it the of sate receipts of course. In New York's Yankee baseball is ruled by a ball club which even old timers must admit ranks with the greatest of any year. The major league season, itself, was a honey. The spectacular rise and fall of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the ftoady, relentless drive of the Chicago Cubs made the National league gallop a great race. The i-esiRiiation of John McGraw and the firing of Rogers Hornsby added spice to the show.

THREE NEW TEAMS TO APPEAR ON WASHINGTON HIGH 1933 FOOTBALL CARD ST.

VINCENT'S AND TIFFIN SCHEDULED; CONSIDER ERIE EAST By LUTHER EMEKY Three new teams replacing Warren, Akron South and Dover, will appear on Washington high school's 10-game football schedule next fall arranged by Earl Ackley, faculty manager of athletics. The newcomers are Akron St. Vincent's high which will ojSen the season here with a night game Sept. 22; Tiffin Junior home, defeated by Washington high two years ago, which will play in Massillon Nov. 18, and an opponent not yet named but one which! orcbsbly will be the strongest of all.

Negotiations with Scott of Toledo, Columbus North and Sfceubenville have not brought any tentative arrangement yet, but it is more than likely that one of the group will accept the offer of the local school. No matter what team is booked, tho schedule will stack up with the strongest ever arranged for Washington high. St. Vincent's ranked frith Akron's best this year, a better (cam as a whole than Akron South.

Tiffin Junior Home annually produces a much better team than Dover which next year will be forced to produce an entirely new team since most of this year's eleven will be lost through graduation. Any of the probable opponents con- 1 sidered for the open date 'will be stronger than Warren. Alliance may not be as strong next year as the past season, but the remainder of the teams, Canton, Niles, Akron East, Barberton, Wooslcr, and New Philadelphia should be just as lough next year with Canlon, Barberton and New Philadelphia a bit stronger in spile of June graduation and ineligibilHy losses.

Of the teams considered for the date, Massillon in years past lias played three of them, Dayton Steel, Toledo Scott and steuben- villc. The Tigers have broken even in a two-game series with dropped three to Scolt and two to Stciihcnville. Massillon in 1925 and 1926 played intcrseclion- tilts with Eric Academy, winning both games. However it has never faced Erie East on the gridiron. St.

Although finishing fourth in the Western conference race, the football team at Ohio State university this fall tied with Pittsburgh for sixth position in the national ranking, ac cording to the Dunkle football rating system, which its final standing today. Notre Dame was ranked No. 1 with a rating; of 57.9. The Irish were followed by their rival of next week," Southern California witb 51.9 while Purdue was third, Michigan fourth, Colgate fifth and- Ohio State and Pittsburgh sixth, with ratings of 46.2 each. The Dunkle system has been in vogue for four years and is unlike tho Dickerson -system inasmuch as it is figured on a long term performance, 'of the teams.

Commulative scores for and against each team and games won are weighed against the cum- ulativs. "quality of opposition" index. According to this system when a team enters a game, it is playing against a par which it has set for itself in. past performances. Its rating after that, game is determined by whether it did better or worse than its par.

University of Southern California made this fnct obvious last night in accepting the invitation to represent the west for the fourth time in the annual intersectional Rose tournament football classic without comment as to its possible opponent. Colgate, Pitt Ready Colgate and Pittsburgh, the east's potential candidates, have indicated a willingness to participate should tho opportunity present iteeU.

Trojan officials will await possible action of the Big Ten conference in its meeting this week-end on lifting the anti-post season game barrier in lavor of the undefeated Wolverines. Under these circumstances the announcement of Sou them''Cali- fornia's opponent is not expected before Inte Saturday. But Big- Ten alumni were inclined to be' pessimistic today as to possibilities of seeing Michigan in action at Pasadena, Jan. 2. Rose Bowl officials, however, pointed out Michigan would have offered a negative reply to feelers, were the chances of coining remote.

In fact, some went so far ns to offer the opinion other members of the conference who in. times past might 'have been represented in the grid game of the roses had not the post season rule prohibited, would be willing to grant Michigan the right to appear in hope the rule would be definitely suspended. Colgate's unbeaten, united and un- scored upon team, probably would get Southern California's invitation should Michigan fail to receive support of the conference. 1 -r CAMPAIGN STARTED BY MICHIGAN PANS Nov. 30.

A campaign to make it possible lor Mich-, igan to accept an. invitation to meet Southern California in the annual Tournament of Roses football game Jan. 2, today appeared to be gaining real momentum. The Trojans received and accepted the bid to represent the west.cpas.t, and it was unofficially that the Wolverines champions of the Western conference, and undefeated or tied, would be their choice as opponents. This would depend upon whether a Big' Ten rule forbidding post-season contests, could be altered or suspended for the occasion.

There were rumors that a secret telegraphic poll of tho "Big Ten faculty commitlce on athletics, which would make the final decision on the question, was underway. However, It was neither definitely affirmed nor denied. At the Michigan end Athletic Director Fielding II. Yost, was noncommittal, but appeared hopeful that the Wolverines would be per- milled to meet Southern California. There was definite sentiment among Big Ten athletic men favoring the Michigan cause, only Wisconsin having been outspokenly against altering the rule.

Regardless of whether tho poll has been taken, the question will come' before the faculty committee at its meeting in Chicago Dec. 3.
