    Army and Nays meeting at Phil adelphia tomorrow already is a SELL out-meaning an assured audience of $4,000. Both teams departed last night for the scene of battle, each spelling for fight. The odds we’re 8 to 2, take your choice. Huey’s Team Plays Another outstanding game tomorrow, largely because of the noise making proclivities of a nonparticipant, is the meeting of Louisiana State university with Tulane. Sen atory Huey P. Long is vocal hacker Of L. S. U. and if Tulane wins he probably will have law passed prohibiting Tulane from crossing the L. S. U. goal line next season. Boston and Holy Gross meet at Boston in an eastern feature, Detroit meets Washington State, Georgia and Georgia Tech tangle, and other games include Southern Meth odist and Texas Christian, Southern California and Washington, Mississippi and Mississippi State, Florida and Stetson, Duke and North Carolima State, and that’s just about all that’s left of another football season. Temple of Philadelphia, also with an outsiders chance for the Rose Bowl, was eliminated entirely by a scoreless tie with Bucknell. Colgate was hard-pressed to subdue Brown with late rush, &c to 10, spelling its chances. Fordham, Maryland Win Yesterday was the seasons wind up for many. IN the east Fordham beat N. Y. u, 80 to 10; Penn trimmed Cornell, % to 10; Mary land beat johns Hopkins, 10 to 0, and Washington and Jefferson lost to West Virginia by IA to IL. In the south, Tennessee whipped Kentucky, and Washington and Lee clinched the Southern Conference title by beating South Carolina, IA to 7. In the midwest, the feature game brought Kansas State a 19-to-7 VIC tory over Nebraska, and the Big Six Conference championship. Kansas beat Missouri, 20 to 0. Texas, outstanding contender for the Southwestern championship, still is in the race in case Rice loses Saturday. Texas downed Texas A. and NJ, Is to 0.
