Will the Navy gridders be able to stop this great quartet of Army backs when the two service elevens clash for supremacy in their most important tussle of the season at Chicago, or will Capt. "Tiny" Hewitt and his mates prove too much for the middies' defense? Those are questions now being discussed iu football circles as the big game draws near. Thus far the Navy has successfully halted every attack, even Michigan's great offensive failed to function against the Annapolis troupe. Navy is in for a real assignment, however, for in Hewitt and Wilson, the Army has two of the best ground-gainers in the pastime while Harding and Trapnell are likewise pretty niean fellows when it comes to skirting the ends and hitting off the tackles. i i ii.rtm.ii.wwiK.il ii i fc.Wiwi.i..i i .1 -inn -ifirnin i 1 10,000 PAIS TO 1 Voting Grand Ml.

(LP) Members of the football rules committee, when they meet this winter, will find various suggestions awaiting them, many of tliem growing out ot changes In the rules effected last winter. The most important new rule place 1 in effect in 1920 was the penalty five yards in each instance whore .1 team makes more than one incompleted forward pass during the same soihrs of four downs.

Ira Rodgers, coach of West believes this rule Should be while Andy Kerr, of Washington and Jefferson, is in favor of its retention. It is believed that coaches throughout the country are about evenly divided on the subject. 1 At the request of the United Press, here are some comments on the' rule made by coaches in the tri-state district: Ira Rodgers, West Virginia "I am in favor, of abolishing the try for point after- also the -Ii yard penalty for the second incompleted forward Andrew Washington Jufl'or-son "The forward pass rtile penalizing second and third forward passes in a series of downs should. be repeated. penalty did not deter teams fro! 1 throwing series of wild forward passo in the closing moments of games.

Tho rule had no exceptional' effect on tho game. On account of the controversy over the legality of shift plays I believe it advisable to prohibit the usa of all shifts. Otherwise the rules as at present constituted seem satisfactory." When, was Harry Kipke captain of the Michigan football team? D. III 1923. PRAYED LOST! CROWD OF OVER 100,000 By HENRY L.

FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Ready to luit-tle for the only national football title that Is beyond dispute, the Army and Navy mobilized their forces here today for one of, the most widely heralded games In the history of a great game.

There is no such thing as a national championship, such as the baseball pros play for In the World's Series. Alabama has a great team, Notre Dame has a great team, Southern California and Stanford have groat teams and there arc other great teams all over the United States. But the Army and the Navy are the only service teams, and the winner is the champion and the holder of a title that cannot be disputed. New Records to be Made. For a good many reasons the battle which drew the cadets and the midshipmen further from their barracks than they ever have before in line of football duty, will be a memorable one.

Several new records for football will be made. There will be more than 100,000 spectators in the Memorial Stadium, and that will put football ahead of big baseball ntbe records and close to Tex Rickard's biggest fight houses. The official receipts will be at least and the unofficial receipts, figuring what the scalpers have been getting for tickets will be more than a million and a half dollars. For the first time in years, also it will be a football game, one of the most important of the year. In season gone by when New York and Philadelphia were offering the battle field, the West Point and Annapolis squads were only fair teams and the student body offered the parading and drill ceremony that was most of the attraction.

But this year the Army and the Nary have great teams the Navy undefeated in the east and the Army beaten only by a great Notre Dame team and a 60-yard run by Christy Flanagan. 'The battle for tickets, which has held the attention of Congress for several weeks, was being waged with more fury than ever today and late arrivals were being asked from $75 to $150 for seats on the end of the field. Weather None Too Good. The weather was none too good the Army-Navy games never have been famous for. good weather but the specs laughed and said "if they want to see the game they'll have to pay And everyone in Chicago seemed to want to see the game.

Army was the popular favorite In the betting but Knute Rockne, of Notre Dame, was one of the few officials and smart football men in town who figured that the cadets were worth real odds. Rockne said he liked the cadets because they had more backfield power and drive while the lines were about even, Other well-known coaches said they leaned toward the Navy because they looked in their games to be smarter and more alert. No line-ups were announced this morning, but it is probable that the teams will start as follows: Army. Kavy. Harbold Lloyd Sprague Wickhorst Hammak L.

The Tartans were defeated by the Irish at South Bend last year, 26 to 0. Tommy Mills is in charge of the Notre Dame squad, Knute Rockne having remained in Chicago for the Army-Navy game. The probable line-up at the start of the game will be Carnegie Tech.

DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, 27. This afternoon at 1:15 o'clock the Army mule will kiss the Navy goat before the greatest football crowd in history 110,000 and the climax to the most hilarious 36 hours Chicago has seen since Armis tice Day will begin.

Brought west of the Atlantic seaboard for the first time, this football game and its accompanying festivities have furnished the city with more entertainment than it has seen in years. Visitors from all sections of the country have crowded the hotels to capacity. It was impossible to obtain a hotel room in the loop. Besides the 3,055 cadets and midshipmen who are here to root for their teams, there probably will be in the neighborhood of 50,000 out-of-town persons at the game. Shortage of Taxicabs.

Striking evidence of the number 'of! cuit-of4owners present is the scarcity of available taxicabs. Chicago visitors generally evade difliculries in transportation by hiring a cab and letting the driver do the worrying about where such and such a place is. There evidently are quite a few of them doing that today for empty cabs are scarce. The scenes along State street and In the theatre districts last night, resembled New Tear's night. Full dress predominated.

Here and there, just enough to remind the crowd what it was all about, an Army cadet, or a Navy midshipman strutted along with a pretty debutante or maybe she was a telephone girl on his arm. At any rate she was pretty for they had to be pretty to get invitations to the ball. At the ball, cheers, yells, and songs, climaxed themselves in a whiz bang of tableau when the vice president of the United States, who was attending a private dinner in the hotel was lured out to wave his pipe and bow to the cheers. The Army boys were on hand with their song-s. The Navy came back at them.

After several hours of this the whole crowd went to Oriental and Chicago theatres for special performances. Clubs Stay Open All Night. Then the nizht-rlubbing began. The clubs stayed open all night. A few hours after many a man who had stood ac attention while the "Star Spangled I Banner" echoed through the Drake Hotel was loudly proclaiming to the world that he was pining for a certain "Sweet Adeline." Many of them were crowding all the festivities possible into the evening for as far as seeing today's game is concerned, they are dtximed to disappointment.

For the ticket situation is acute. If tickets were available, in all prob- ability, about 150,000 people would wit-nera the game. The dyed in wool Chicagoan, who generally allows himself to become ex cited enough to ask "what about is?" when a cyclone kills a thousand or so or something equally as important has literally been swept off his feet by the game and Its preliminaries. LOST TEN GAMES. Princeton, Yale and Harvard lost 10 football games between them during the recent season.

(LP) Judge Lyman Took, ot Nebraska, isn't taking a buck seat for any of the many hunters this reason. In one of the traps1 which he placed near his chicken coops, he caught a large iniuk. The animal had-killed 11 his choice hens, Cook said. The mink Is of the brown species, with good fur, and the skin was made into a neck-piece for Mrs. Cook.

Might Try. A Coney Island bandit, who held up a bathouse and stole the safe, was unable to breuk'it open' and so abandoned it by the. roadside. A more ingenious person would have labeled it "Handle with care," and sent it somewhere by express. Judge.

NEW YORK, 27. (IP) The New York Sun today announced its All-American football team. Sis westerners, and five easterners are given places on the team. Navy, Army, Brown and Notre Dame share the honor of placing one man each on both the first and second teams.

Benny Friedman, sensational Michigan quarterback, was awarded All-American honors by the Sun for the second year in succession. The Sun's backlield is essentially all-western; not an easterner won recog- liLUU VU LUTJ lllffl, OtLlllg UUL'ttlltJlM. ro 1 CI 1 T. 1 iiasu isiagie, ninceion uucKiieid ace. the experts said "he is the greatest potential carrier in the country." His failure to play in more than one hour of competitive football, however, the Sun experts said, made his selection impossible.

One of the outstanding characteristics of the eleven is that ten of the players selected for the first team are high school graduates. 'Apparently the day of prep school supremacy is done," observes the Sun. Brilliant Backs Scarce. Brilliant ibackfield stars, tno award committee declared, were scarcer than hen's teeth in 1926. Outside of Herb Joesting, of Minnesota, and Kaer, of Southern California, there were no backs this year to match with Ober-lander, Tryon, Grange and Nevers.

Good ends, tackles and guards were plentiful, the experts said. Broda, of Brown, and Hanson, of Syracuse, were rated favorably with the best ends of all time. Harry Connaughton, Georgetown's 285-pound guard, was reported a unanimous selection. His speed, power and aggressiveness gave him a decided edge over all competitors.

THREE BIG TEX WINS. Notre Dame played three Big Ten football elevens during the 1926 season, and beat them all. Northwestern, Minnesota and Indiana were the victims. Rockne's charges ran up a total of 52 points against seven in the throe tilts. THREE TIE TILTS.
