Christian University and the One Hundred and Forty-first Infantry teams will give local fans a good line for comparison on soldier and college football Many critics have argued that the soldiers are able to put out the best teams for the reason that most of the college stars are now in the army Others have argued that the superior coaching of college teams and the old fighting spirit makes up for the lack of individual stars who have left the ranks of the collegians to help Uncle Sam In his fight for democracy There is no question about the ability of either of Saturday's contestants in their respective classes Whether either has stepped out of its class or not in arranging the approaching conflict remains to be seen Milton Daniel has developed one of the speediest little teams out at that the Christians have had in years and he has done it out of absolutely green material Soldiers Are strong In taking on the One Hundred and Forty-first Infantry team formerly the Second Texas Infantry the Christians are matching their skill against one of the strongest soldier elevens in the Southwest if not the trongest If Daniel can send his men through to a victory over the Doughboys or even hoid them to a close score it will be a big feather in his cap The Christians will go into the game at a weight disadvantage Neither team will be able to marshal its strongest forces because of cripples but both coaches will be able to put a representative team on the field To prepare for the game and to get in good condition to meet a picked team from Camp MacArthur at the Cotton Palace rext week the "Second Texas" has engaged the services of Joe Utay former Texas A star and well known official as coach Utay took charge of the team Thursday and put it through a stiff workout After practice Utay' announced that "Spitz" Clark and loe Edens will probably be kept out of Saturday's game to save them for the Waco engagement Both are suffering minor ailments Hampered hy Cripples TT will also be hampered by cripples and lneligibles Quarterback Miller one of the sensations of the collegiate season will not be able to start the game and may not be able to get In at all Lockman who does most of the passing and practically all of the kicking for the team is also on the injured list but will be able to begin 1 A "-s' 1 BY AKTIHR ST in UK Staff Correspondent of the International News Service NEW YORK Nov 9 All will not be harmonious in the ranks of baseball whfti the minor leagues pet together in Louisville next week The formation of the third league to be named the Union has caused a wave of discontent to sweep through the contemplated program Club owners who will not be included in the third major league are sowing the seeds of discord The Kansas City St Paul Milwaukee and Minneapolis clubs of the American Association are the ones who will be left out in the cold The National Commission ban been appealed to present the dissolution of the two leagues into a third major Hit-key president of the American Association is practically leading the fiuht against the pl-m Ilickey's fight came after the report was sent out that Ed Barrow president of the International league to he chosen as head of the new league Mickey had visions of lieing the lender of the new circuit Hickey's argument is that the Toledo Columbus Louisville and Indianapolis clubs In his circuit cannot withdraw from the league without unanimous consent of the club owners He contends that if these clubs are permitted to Join the TTnion League the structure of organized baseball will crumble Whether the National Commission will interfere is problematical The heads of the two majors are inclined to favor a new league They figure it will be a good thing for the game will keep up an interest in the sport during the war and also prove a financial success But the commission will undoubtedly adopt a "hands off" policy in settling the dispute They will not interfere according to all reports because of technicalities The commission's jurisdiction is confined to disputes between major and minor leagues The third league has not yet been formed It is not yet a major cin-uit Thus the commission will be in its rights in refusing to heed Hickey's plea SAGINAW KID DOES GREATEST COMEBACK If the club owners fail In their effartf a hold bouts in New York state after th Bating of the

to re-establish the confidence of Coach Murray's men than anything else could and they believe before the session is much further advanced they will be as good as any eleven in the brigade The polo game will also attract many people to the park The teams represented will be the One Hundred and Thirty-first Field- Artillery and a picked team of all-stars from the other regiments at Camp Howie All
