SEE THE MONROE (LA.) NEWS-STAR SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7,1925. SPORTS NEWS TULANE GRIDDERS STRIKING HARD PACE; FLOURNOY WINS PRAISE OF SPORTS WRITERS NEW ORLEANS. Nov. Tulane University is sitting on the top of the football world with all the big football gur.s of the nation. Clark Green Wave has been receiving all sorts of favorable publicity, not only in the south, but in the east and middle west, as a result of their triumph over Northwestern in Chicago, their tie with Missouri and their unbroken string of victories in the south.

In the southern conference they have defeated such strong teams as the Mississippi Aggies, University of Mississippi and Auburn, They have yet to play two more confer- i ence games with Sewanee and Louisi- ana State, which on past performances they should win handily to come out with the highest honors of the south. The Green strength has been more and more pounded into grid followers by the continued sue. i cess of the Missouri Tigers who tied Tulane. Missouri, champions of the Missouri valley Iasi year, are odds on favorites to repeat this fall I after their decisive victories over Nebraska and Iowa State. Tulane also scored three touchdowns on Northwestern with their great Flournoy, after the University of Chicago failed to register one just the week before against same team.

Tulane has never reallv been extended since the Missouri game and has improved 100 per since then. The wily Shaughnessy always has something in reserve. Besides, Tulane's wide margin of 26-3 over the Mississippi Aggies, compared with the slim 6-0 defeat of the Aggies by Alabama, is food for a lot of thought. Many followers of the Green Wave are confident it would wash over the bama aggregation if the two could be brought together. There is no gainsaying the fes southern record and their brilliant intersectional accomplishments.

Clark Shaughnessy has a vivid sensational offensive and a defense that has stopped everything sent at it. The only team in the south to make a touchdown on Tulane was Ole Miss in the last minutes of play on substitutes. Here are a few comments on Flournoy: McGuire. Chicago American: Flournoy, the other ace of the Tulane lived up to his advance notices by giving the greatest exhibition of kicking we have ever seen. IDs punts must have averaged 55 to 60 yards and were all high enough his ends to be down under the ball.

Flournoy usually twisted and squirmed his way for substantial gains. forte seems to be a sort of dancing dodge, a stuttering run Zuppke calls it, and a knack of sliding off his in- several of them more than once.

The names of Flournoy and LautOtischlaeger will probably be written into Dixie's hall of football fame. The speedy, slippery, dodging, fighting, squirming Flournoy ripped and clawed his way through the Northwestern line. He scattered the Purple I r.e to all sides of Harry McNamara, Chicao HeraldExaminer: Flournoy's play at left halfback was superb. I dou -t whether the great Grange in his palmiest days ever played more brilliantly than Flournoy did against the Wildcats today. He was a demon in a broken field, a human battering rag; at hitting the line, his punting surpassed anything I have ever seen on a football field in recent years and his defensive work was Robert J.

A three.ring football circus first-class side shows is offered for the approval of mid-wets fans today. In the big show are Chicago-Illinois at Urbana, Michigan-Northwestern at Chicago, and Iowa-Wisconsin at Iowa City.

Grange is the main attraction. To see his performance, 70,000 persons have staged a parade of costly limousines and battered flivvers over the roads of Illinois into ent 1 the $2.000.000 Illinois memorial sta- dium. The Chicago Maroons are the masked marvels. Downed by Pennsylvania, which fell before Grange and his 111 ini, the Stagg Men have been caustically criticised, Orly because of defensive strength have they remained unbeaten in big ten. Illinois, on the other hand, although beaten in two conference starts, has a formidable attack based on Grande and a perfected interference for him.

The wild ani- mal act is the meeting of Wolverines and Wildcats in Soldiers Field, mu- nicipal stadium. un- I crossed goal and its leadership of the big ten are the inspirations for a sparkling performance from Friedman, Molenda, Gilbert and I Costerbaan. Baker's trained toe is 1 hope, but his bandage ar.kle sr. ay keep him out. Wesley Fry, instead of Nick Kutsch, bears the I brunt of offering against Wisconsin.

The Hawks are undefeated asd are favorites. The leading side show event is the interstate clash of Ohio State and Indiana at Columbus. Since 1 both have been defeated, the result has slight bearing on the conference title race. Purdue and Minnesota seemed destined to outshine their respective foes, Franklin at Lafayette and Butler at Minneapolis. ---------o---------STOVALL TO TAKE LINE POSITION IN GAME AT RUSTON 3y MILLER HOLLINGSWORTH Coach Tigers will today enjoy the off day from practicing since the first of the season.

The calling off of the game was wp'corned by the team as heavy rains have kept them from the field of practice for four days. The court on which the game was to be played was an unfit condition for play.

And the difference in time between the game will allow the team a few days more practice which would be helpful as to the four rainy days. By Wednesday it is thought that Miss Neville, the star forward, will be ready to play. NEW YORK, Nov. A. mythical eastern championship in view of many football followers, depends on the outcome of a game at Hanover, N.

today. The teams are Dartmouth, the home eleven, and Cornell, the juggernaut of gloomy Gil Dobie. They are among the highest scoring teams of the country and have won all their games. Dartmouth ruled a favorite at 2 to 1. Cornell, caught under the big green avalanche a year ago, 27-14, was one of the few victims to score against Dartmouth.

The annual struggle of Princeton and Harvard at Princeton is the first of the classics involving Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Princeton was the favorite today because of a better record. Penn State and Notre Dame, meeting at State Field, head the list of intcrsectional battles. Maryland and Yale meet at New Haven. Ohio Wesleyan takes on undefeated Syracuse at Syracuse.

Several of the most powerful elevens of the east expect to give many of their regulars a rest today. The Army, Navy, Pennsylvania and Colgate are among the teams. Annual fixtures today bring to gether W. and J. and Pittsburgh, SC0F8S Of Y6cir AgO SuOW West Virginia and Boston College Lehigh and Georgetown, illiams and Mesleyan, Rutgers and Lafayette, Columbia and New York University, Holy Cross and Fordham.

The eyes of the football world are on the experiment in Providence, Citadel, the score being 10 to 7, and Roanoke won from Richmond, 9 to 0. Wakeforest defeated Duke, 32 to 0. --------------o-------------Harvard Plays Princeton in First Big Three Game PRINCETON, N. Nov. (By A.

Princeton was the favorite having been beaten once and tied once while Harvard has been defeated twice.

Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 6. years young man stepped out on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, and in the closing stages of the Pennsylvania-Cornell football game, gave one of the greatest exhibitions of line plunging ever seen on an Eastern gridiron. The young man is Leonard Sorenson, of Lewiston, and the strange side of his case is that a substitute halfback in 1923, he remains a substitute halfback today. In fact, chances of breaking into the line up are even less now than they were three seasons ago.

His name simply lived for one day and, as quickly, died. But that life was a wild one while it lasted. Needing a touchdown to tie the score, Penn shot, Sorenson fmto the line eight successive times AAd not once did he fail. He gained three first downs and a total of 34 yards against one of the best lines in Cornell history. ON THE SIDELINES Everyone said that the performance would fix Sorenson for the remainder of his college Apparently, it did and it didn't.

In one sense, its only result was to him on the bench this year and last. Sorenson never again showed the form he did in the final minutes of the 1923 season. The writer knows this to be true because if ever a team needed a plunging back last year, Pennsylvania did. Kruez so effective then and a very good eleven suffered for the lack of an adequate attack. Yet the man who had plunged through Cornell at random the year before was seen very little.

They could use him this year, too, he had what they wanted, which happens to be at least three or four i yards on the first down. He appear in the Yale game, however, in spite of the fact that backfield substitutes were used. Neither did he break into the Chicago contest, Douglas, Odiorne and other getting the call. CASES ON DIAMOND Perhaps Sorenson is another Harry Krause, George Stone or George Rohe. Old time baseball fans will Temember this trio.

Krause left- handed the American League silly for one season and then could hardly a ball game. Stone led the league in hitting in 1906 but soon drifted out of baseball through lack of ability. Rohe was the batting hero of the 1906 series but drew a release the following season. Then again, Sorenson ifiay be nothing of the kind. Perhaps he is only aiting for the Cornell game of 1925 to flash out with another plunga INTEREST AT HIGH PITCH AS TIGERS FACE RICE CLASH BATON ROUGE, Nov.

When the returns are in from football games in the South tonight indications today were that there will be basis for interesting comparison with the scores of last year. On this date last season Alabama defeated Kentucky, 42 to 7, but the most optimistic supporters of the Crimson did not expect such a score today, although Alabama was favored to win from the Wildcats. Washington, and Lee downed Virginia, 20 to 7, but a touchdown either was suggested as a good guess at the result today. Vanderbilt wron from Georgia Tech, 3 to 0, Wakefield executing a difficult field goal for the only points of the game. Louisiana State was able to down Rice, 12 to 0.

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt meet here this afternoon on a heavy field and with more rain forecast.
