NEW YORK, November 14.—' The
approach of another Harvard-
Yale foot ball game signalled
to Eastern fandom today that
the end of the 1927 grid sea
son was in sight.
For generations now the clashes of
these two bulwarks of the shattered
“Big Three’ have drawn their color
ful throngs to the banks of the Hilaries
or to New Haven for battles that of
times crowned a sectional or even
national champion. And this Fall finds
the situation unchanged, with Harvard
elone barring Yale's drive to the head
of the Eastern pigskin legions.
Into Harvard’s huge concrete horse
shoe, Yale will fling an eleven next
Saturday that has humbled Army—
conqueror of Notre Dame —Dartmouth
and Princeton. Against, a foe that
came from behind to sweep the Tiger
aside 14 to 6 in the final eight minutes
ot play last Saturday, Harvard can
throw only an eleven that has met de
feat every other week since the start
of the season.
Although pre-game form has often
proven of little comparative value in
Harvard-Yale meetings of the past,
the Crimson team has been conceded
little chance of halting the Eli surge.
Only Georgia, leading candidate for
national honors, has been able to whip

GOLF PLAY AT NIGHT
NOW SEEMS FEASIBLE
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 14.—The
golf fiend whose chief regret in life
is that he cannot crowd enough day
light hours into his time on the links
may derive some solace in the claim
of Millard J. Bloomer, a golf enthu
siast and managing director of the
American Airways Corporation, that
lie has invented an illuminated golf
hall that makes playing at night not
only practicable but a pleasure.
Bloomer put his invention to a
practical demonstration recently on
the Mosholu course in damp weather
and played eight balls on the first
and eighteenth holes. All were recov
ered from the drives and played out
to the cup in darkness.
Millard explained that the balls are
treated with a chemical and wrapped
in tinfoil until used. * The illumina
tion lasts for approximately 15 min
utes after the balls are removed from
the foil.

COLLEGE FOOT BALL
RACES AT A GLANCE
By the Asiociated Pre**.
With only one major shift involved,
in which Yale moved over Princeton
to the top of the Eastern lißt, the lat- j
series of college foot ball battles
found the following status to the vari
ous conference or mythical sectional
championship existing today:
Fast.
Yale, by defeat of hitherto unbeaten
Princeton eleven, holds major claim
to Eastern honors.* Yale, neither
beaten nor tied by Eastern team, suf
fered only reverse in intersectional
combat with Georgia. Pittsburgh and
Washington and Jefferson, with sin
gle tie as result of their own game,
closest contenders among major
elevens.
Western Conference.
Illinois, with clean slate of four vic
tories and no defeats in conference
games, heads list. Tie earlier with
lowa State only mar on record of
mini. Minnesota, tied by Indiana,
ranks second in conference.
Missouri Valley Conference.
Missouri, disposing of lowa State,
leads with four victories, no defeats or
ties in conference race. Nebraska,
with three victories and one defeat by
Missouri, is second.
Southern Conference.
Georgia, at top with five conference I
victories, no defeats or ties, plus pres
tige of intersectional victory over
Yale. North Carolina State also un
beaten in three conference games, but
Tennessee and Georgia Tech each tied
once and Vanderbilt tied twice, al
though all undefeated.
Southern I. C. A. A.
Texas Aggies, with three victories
and no setbacks, set the pace for Ar
kansas and Southern Methodist, each
with one conference defeat.
Rocky Mountain Conference.
Each of contenders has one defeat,
but Colorado Aggies, with five vic
tories, and Colorado College, with four,
have best records. Utah and Montana
State next in line.
Pacific Coast Conference.
Stanford, in spite of two upsets at
hands of non-conference teams, shares
leading honors with Southern Califor
nia. Neither has met defeat in con
ference. Their own battle was a tie,
but Stanford has three conference vic
tories to two for U. S. C. Washing
ton, with three victories and one de
feat, ranks next.

FOR D. C. PRO QUINT
Although he has four veterans, In
cluding himself, who probably could
play a full-time game right now, Man
ager Ray Kennedy has a difficult
problem to solve before his Washing
ton basket ball club takes the Ar
cadia floor against Rochester in the
American League inaugural next Sun
day night. With the local players re
suming practice today at the Four
teenth and Park road hall after a
week’s work in New York, Kennedy
finds himself lacking an experienced
center, or, in other words, a player
whom all pro basketers consider the
most important cog on a team.
On the other hand, Rochester, ac
cording to reports reaching here, is
practically ready for the opening
whistle. A first-string team and a re
serve squad have already been picked
by Nick Harvey, the new manager.
During the past week Harvey cut
down his squad from 22 to 8, and
is said to have decided upon Starting
himself and Harry Topel at guards,
■Toe Wallace’ at center and Marty
Barry and Louis Rabin at forwards.
For reserve men he will have George
McNeil, a former star with the Buf
m>? Lincolns and Buffalo Germans:
I'hil Barlow, a veteran center, and
Sam Soigel, a guard who received a
trial with Washington last Fall.
Eddie Miller, Washington center in
the early stages of the last campaign,

Rochester, for Philadelphia news

diana, both stronger than for many
years, decide the Hoosier section of
the Big Ten supremacy at Blooming
ton. Purdue, with two of the great
est broken-field runners since Red
Grange in Cotton Wilcox and Ralph
Welch, was figured to win until In
diana arose and smote Northwestern
last Saturday. That evened things
and gave the Indiana supporters
hopes for a possible tie for second
place in the conference standing, pro
vided certain other problematical con
tingencies come to pass in the two
title contests.
Chicago and Wisconsin, each taken
into camp three times, come together
at Staff Field, as usual, with little to
fight for except a final fling at vic
tory for the veterans who lay aside
their alma mater’s maroon or cardinal
jerseys. Chicago, with a schedule of
six conference games and a Pennsyl
vania tangle sandwiched in, has grown
steadily weaker under the pounding
of the opposition against its limited
material. Wisconsin seemed to be
growing stronger after defeats by
Michigan and Minnesota, but along
came lowa, one of the under dogs of
the Big Ten for a couple of years, and
bit a large piece out of the Badgers
last Saturday.
Having tasted raw meat, the lowa
squad is looked upon by the experts
to do much the same thing next Sat
urday to the sadly-tamed Wildcats of
Northwestern. Four times in a row
the Northwestern cripples have been
srcntrsn
curried off the field while the enerr;
rushed along to victory, first by a sin
pi*, point and then by clusters oj
touchdowns. Only in their first con
ference battle of the year— again*
Ohio State—did the Wildcats main
pood on their early-season prospects d
a strong defense of the lD2t> conference
title tliev shared with Michigan. t*nj
by one their stars have neon batferM
into the clinic, with no reserves quad
fied to stein the tide of battle.
