Marshal Foch Among: the 80,000 Grid Fans in Huge Bowl Tigers Last Game of Season.

By HENRY L. FAKRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent. New Haven, Nov. 12. Tale's biff speedy eleven made up for 1919 and 1920 here this afternoon, when the battling bulldogs beat the Princeton lagers, 13 to 7, In the second battle of the "big three" series.

With Marshal Foch, prominent American army and nary officials and a crowd of 80,000 wild partisan fans In the huge bowl, the EH canine, riddled the Nassau jungle cat and made it like It. "Mac" Aldrich. the fiery Tale leader, led the attack that overwhelmed the Jersey university in the first period and kept them subdued thmout the game. Shining just as brilliantly as his dashing leader, Charley llearn, the bine quarterback heipetlf pile up the points that burled the hopes of the Tigers in their last game of the season. Aldrich kicked two field goals and O'Hearn made the only touchdown scored by the Eli's.

Tale started out in the first period with a fast moving attack that backed the Tigers steadily toward their own goal. Charges of tackle," bucks at center and dashing skirts around the ends brought the ball down the field sixty-five yard when O'llearu got away around left end and ran twenty-five yards for a' touchdown. Aldrich kicked goal. After floundering around helplessly In the first period when Tale was stopping end run after end ran and when the great line plunger, Hank Garrity, was running against a stone wall in the line, Princeton resorted to the forward pass in the second period and scored a touchdown. Five out of six passes were completed and the ball was advanced to the one-yard lihe whore Garrity plunged over.

With the score tied. Aldrich started to work In the third period and broke the tie with a 35-yard field goal. Again In the final period, after the Tiger defense had rallied in the shadow of its own goal line and had repulsed three charges Aldrich dropped back and booted another 25-yard drop kick between the posts for the last score of the game. Tale had everything that Princeton lacked in the way of a spirited assault. The Tigers seemed worn and tired from the hard game last week with Harvard.

The Nassau eleven played-a game entirely different from their usual style, resort irg to a running attack that got" them nothing. Their forward passing attack had Tale bothered thruout but the team seemed, to lose spirit when Captain Stan Keck was carried off the field. It was an ideal football day and the Immense bowl was packed to the rim with the usual big three crowd with all its colors and glamor. The line up: Tale. Position.

Anyway remember: Great Scoit Fort Can't Stop Our Trot. OHIO STATE AHD IGVVA LEAD Both Teams Expected to Finish Season Without Defeat, Leaving Western Conference Race Tied.

Chicago, Nov. 12. Ohio state and Iowa remained at the top of the heap tonight in the western conference football championship struggle. Failure of Wisconsin to defeat Michigan, the only surprise of the day, eliminated the Badgers from the championship race. Ohio had defeated Michigan by a small margin.

Holding of Wisconsin to a 7 to 7 tie by the Wolverines when they had been regarded as easy picking for the Badgers, will undoubtedly silence whatever clamor there has been against Coach Tost in Michigan. Illinois did the unexpected in get ting the jump on Chicago in the tlx. half but the Illini were unable to withstand the powerful driving Maroon line and lost 14 to C.Ohio state continued her winning streak, defeating Purdue 2S to 0. Iowa and Ohio are expected to finish the season without losing a game, leaving the conference race a tie. If there was any preference, the shade would probably be on the side of Iowa, due to the-more impressive victories won by the Hawkeyes over teams which Ohio also played, and due to the loss by Ohio of the first game of the season to Oberlin.

U. INTO CAMP, 28 TO JayhawksFightGamelyAgainst Heavy Odds. Nebraska Scores Touchdown In Each Quarter First After Two Minutes of Play Wilson Injured. Lincoln, Nov. 12.

(Special) Fighting a game battle against heavy odds of weight and experience, their backs to their own goal line aimost the entire game, the Kansas Jayhawkers went down to defeat before Nebraska here today on the short end of a 28 to 0 score. At no time during the game did the Kansas team threaten the Corn-husker men. The surprise of the game was the fact that the heavy Nebraska eleven attempted almost as many forward passes as did the Kansas men. The offense of the Jayhawkerj rwred principally in long end runs arid line bucks from a spread formation, by Spurgeon. Kansas fullback.

Thirteen Kansas passes were incomplete, and four were intercepted by Nebraska back field men. "Prexy" Wilson, heavy Kansas quarterback and one of the best passers in the valley, was carried from the field in the last quarter of the game when he was knocked unconscious in making a tackle. The exact extent of his injury is not known but Is believed that it is not serious. Spurgeon and Wilson starred in the Jayhawkers' back field, while Captain Jones and Charlie Black, left end, played best for the Kansas team in th line. The plunging of Hartley and Noble's short dashes around the Kansas ends were easily the features of the Cornhuskers attack.

United Press Staff Correspondent. New Tork, Nov 12 One thing that is sure to result when the Major League moguls gather for their annual conference in December Is the repeal or urtnendment of the rule prohibiting members of championship clubs' from "barnstorming" The rule has been on the books for a number of years but under the old mission it was not enforced, with the result tnat many rans aia nor Know of Its existence until this fall, when Judge Landis threatened to throw Babe Ruth out of the game for failing to observe it Ownprs of the New Tork Tanks, oth- er club owners and the fans In general, while believing that the great Babe should be punished for throwing the gauntlett down to the commissioner, are of the opinion that theruhvis unfair and should be changed, jr Considering the fact that Rogers jHornsby, National league batting o- nh iin, man, swat leaders of the American league, and George Sisler, the great Brown star, are permitted to play in the Winter league on the coast, it is unjust that tn stars of the pennant ginning clob, are not permitted to turn their talet into cash during the off-season. The rule tinker discussion was en 'acted severt 1 yi-ars ago, after the Phil- adeipnia -ataiecics, barnstorming as the world's champions, made a rather disastrous tour in which they were frequently beaten by sand hill clubs. The tour ended with a defeat by a Cuban team, which at once claimed itself champions of the wrorld, One remedy suggested by several clubowners is an amendment prohibiting the pennant winners touring as a team, but allowing individual members or several members to play on the same club. The rule as it now stands takes a lot of money out of the pockets of the champions.

This year the two St. Louis clubs finished -in third position and were given a substantal share of the world's series money. Yet there was nothing to prevent them from taking part in a city series as teams and thereby gain another large profit which would have made their checks more substantial than the pennant winners got for playing the big classic. Another relief measure, which is being favored by the old reactionaries. Is a new form of contract which would bind the services of players for the entire year and put them under the thumb of the club owners.

This, of course, would result in a demand for a "year around" salary and the "hard pressed" club owners hardly would advanec an argument for the players to claim nJpre money for their services. AMES RUNNERS WIN K. U. Lands Second in Missouri Valley Cross-Country Meet. Lincoln, Nov.
