  UNTIMELY TUMBLE SAVES WEST POINT HOOsiers Have Ball OH Three Yard Line When Slip Comes. TIDE SHIFTS REPEATEDLY -Notre Dame, Outplayed at the Start, Finds Itself-Crowd Swamps Arena By SAMUEL j. BRoOKMAN. WEST POINT, Nov. 11.-Army fought Notre Dame to a standstill on the Plains here to-day before the largest throng that ever invaded the post for football game. 1t was a scoreless tie after a contest that thrilled from start to finish with nerve tingling sit uations, with frequent shifts in the tide, with sustained advances that threatened and failed, and with trer1endous effort on attack and defence. Army fought and tied, but despite its splendid showing. despite the as tonishing success with which most of Notre Danes puzzling passes, shifts and trick plays were diagnosed and smothered, Army was pretty lucky to escape defeat. Even Army’s most ardent rooters will admit that, for as the struggle advanced into the final quarter the Hoosiers. after glittering march of sixty-seven yards, during which their versatility and power as serted themselves for the first time, had the ball on Army’s three yard line. Forward passes alternated with line plunges had brought the oval there. Notre Dame had outguessed the Army at that stage. had hurled passes when the Cadets expected end runs or line plunges, had plowed through the forward wall or off tackle when the formation indicated for ward pass. And then. with Notre Dame three yards from touchdown. with the band full of Havana rooters shouting them selves silly at the prospect of score and victory--then 1t was that Crowley, halfback. fumbled 1t was on the sec ond down. at time when the Notre Dame eleven was eyed UP to its smooth est assault, when the spirit of victory showed in every move of the Hoosiers. when the Army men. though fighting like demons, seemed bewildered. Lnwrence’s Timely Recovery. Crowley fumbled and Lawrence recovered for the Army. II was pretty tough on Crowley, who had been play ing brilliantly : II was a glorious opvortunity for Lawrence. 1t was the tumble that lost all chance of a Hoosier triumph II was the recovery that saved ar Army defeat. Great was the relief os the Army players. rooters and all when Wood punted out of danger. Great was the chagrin of the Notre Dame delegation. A supreme EFFORT had been wasted No such opportunity presented itself again as the teams played into the darkness with the ball zigzagging up and down the field. In the last few minutes Army as sumed the aggressive and had the ball on Notrc Danes 2S yard line. thanks to blocked kick and thirty yard for ward pass from Smythe to Lawrence There Notre Dame held determinedly and on the fourth down. the last play of the game as II proved. Garbisch fell hack for an attempt at a goal from placement. The Hoosier forwards broke through, however. and blocked the eff fort and the hardest fought game In the history OF Army–Notre Dame football was over. West Point was literally swamped by the thousands who came to see the struggle between the unbeaten teams. Long before game time the throng over flowed the stands and jammed every available foot of standing room, and thousands who arrived later found It impossible to get glimpse of the teams in action. There were probably 10000 on hand. Army officials had rather anticipated a great crowd and had made hasty arrangements to accommodate an unprecedented number. but the size OF the invading army of football fans over whelmed them. Even the cadets who were out on the parade grounds drilling before the game fousd the section unusually reserved for them narrowed TO almost half its expected dimensions. Scores of the West Point students were forced TO stand four and five deep back of the west side line.

  Gallagher” fitting1y on tho re- cent trip to New York and West Point, was in town Monday. Leon told us that the rally at the Southern club was to be a hum- dinger. Tom Bragg will preside over the affair. Charles Debar- deleben. president or the Alumni association, will make talk, and Dr. Spright Dowell, president of Auburn. will also be on hand and will make one of the principal talks. Football officials will lend color to the meeting with speeches, and several of the vis- iting alumni will be called on. The dinner Is to be staged in the main dining room, and the famous Auburn orchestra will have, charge of the special mu- sical program. Too Much Law. Yer Honnah Never did like tennis much. It’s a game that has to be fought out in the courts. Hugo Bezdek is to supplant Eva Wilhelm as manager of the hhAAfNof Foitt a COlAOQOWit TUT the illustrious Hugo. Two years ago he was managing a major league ball club. Now he has been asked to pilot the Phillies. Runs in the Blood Mickey Walker, the new well terweight champion, comes from family of fighters. Johnny Walker had. great knockout record untif he himself was knocked out by Kid volstead in 1918. The more rounds of Johnny Walker. and the harder he’d hit. That’s endurance for you. Auburn’s Stock Rises Fact that Notre Dame and the Army battled to a 0–⁠0 tie has caused Auburn’s stock to rise still further. Many are doping it that the Plainsmen have a pretty good chance against Gen. tre at Redwood Saturday, when the south’s largest football crowd will assemble to see the south’s greatest football battle. The Plainsmen look so good that there are few who will give them over seven points In the Satur- day tilt. And looking still further to the Tech-Auburn tilt in Atlanta. Thanksgiving, there are those who think the Tiger will put the Yellow Jacket to flight. You see, Auburn scored on the Army. F Notre Dame was unable to score on the Army and Notre Dame put the skids under Tech. That’s comparative score stuff for you all of which means nothing. Still the real staunch boys dope it that the Tiger has a good chance against Centre. and should beat Tech in Atlanta. The praying “Colonels’ put 1t all over the W. and L. Generals” Saturday. They’ll probably be reprimanded for insubordination or court -martialed, or something. Third down is last down when fellows drowning. Andy Gump isn’t getting all the glory, Harry A. Parsons of the Cleveland Yacht club has named his racing hydroplane “Oh, Min.’ in honor of the female member of the Gump act. A good “Oh. Min” you’d say, eh, wotf

  INTEREST OF STATE CENTERED IN GAME Butler-NOtre Dame Game Only One of Importance Among Indiana Teams. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 10 (SpeciaD with the exception Of the state championship. Notre Dame Butler game, Indiana’s 1922 foot ball classic at Indianapolis. there will be but few games OF Importance among the Indiana teams Saturday. Purdue and Indiana L.. the other two major teams win be idle, resting for their annual clash at Lafayette on the following saturday, and all the other games are of minor i’m portance. indianapolis IS all worked up over the impending game between Pat Pages Bulldogs and Rocknes Irish from NOtre Dame. Early in the year when it was announced that Butler had scheduled a game with Notre Dame, local football fans declared It was their belief that the Bulldogs were going quite ways out Of their class in meeting the Irish. But Buffers wonderful record this season has changed all this. Expect Great Battle. The victories or the Pagemen over such teams as Illinois and Wabash have caused many TO change their mind and all are now agreed that great battle viii ensue when the two teams meet. Notre Dame played a fierce 0 to 0 tie with the Army last Saturday. while But Ter easily trimmed DePauw 10 TO o.. The game at Greencastle between DePauw and Hanover should result in a close fight as Hanover has the strongest team in its history this season. On the other hand. Coach Ashmore’s Tigers have also showed flashes Of strength. particularly against Indiana. The Little Giants Of Wabash will play the Chicago Y. NJ c. A. team at Crawford Saturday. The Chicago “Y’‘ team IS a good one, having given Butler a hard game eaIlier in the season, and they should hold the Scarlet close, al the more since Coach Vaughn’s squad Is badly crippled as a result of the D. and 7. game. Franklin viii play st. Xavier’s college at Cincinnati; Rose Poly has an open date; Valparaiso IS scheduled to meet St. ViatOr’s college at Valparaiso. and Earlham win clash with Pennsylvania college team OF Kentucky at Richmond Saturday.
