Soldiers and Marines Prepare For Game Here
Fort McPherson and
Parris Island Battle
at Augusta Nov. 15
MaJ. Alfred A. Cunningham, man
ager of the Parris Island football
team of the U. S. Marinos, began a
special practice the past week with
his team and announced that he
would be ready for the Army team
from Fort McPherson when they
meet in this city for their second
annual game on November 15. It
was impossible to secure a state
ment from First Lieut. Henry J.
Boettlchcer, post athletic officer of
Fort McPherson, but reports from
Atlanta indicate that the army
will have a strong team this year,
and they are no doubt busy prepar
ing for the Augusta game.
The game will be played under
the auspices of the local Exchange
Club in connection with the Fail
festival. A special committee from
the club composed of Marvin Wolf,
chairman; Claude Kirby and Glov
er Bailie have charge of the plans
for the game. The Academy field
will be used. An announcement as
to the advance sale of tick'Vs will
he made soon. The price will be
$1 for all seats, but the choice
seats will no doubt be taken soon
after the advance sale opens, and
it will be well to purchase tickets
before the game.
A large number from the Marine
Corps from Parris Island are ex
pected to come up with their team.
The game last year was well at
tended. but with a new interest in
football in this city a much larger
attendance is expected.

Exchange
Club.
BILLY EVANS SAYS-
The breaks of the game are as
decisive in football as baseball.
Very often one gridiron play that
has a certain amount of the ele
ment of luck connected with It is
the turning point of the game.
Take the llllnois-Mlchigan game
fop instance. Illinois outplayed
Michigan and deserved to win. yet
the margin of superiority was hard
ly 3 to 1 as the score would in
dicate.
The first play of the day, in which
Grange caught the Michigan kick
off and ran 90 yards for a touch
down, changed' the entire com
plexion of that great game.
It is unusual for a player to turn
such a trick in a big game. And no
play is quite so depressing to a
rival team as to have some player
on the first play of the game run
the length of the field for a touch
down.
Grange’s remarkable run unques
tionably raised havoa with the
Michigan eleven.
It tended to make the Anr. Arbor
eleven look ridiculous Every player
on the field, every substitute on the
bet.ch realized It.
The mtanory of that run haunted
the players throughout the rest of
the game. It will stick with them
for years.
That brilliant run was the deci
sive break. It gave Illinois much
confidence. It robbed Michigan of
an even greater amount.
No doubt that run caused every
member of the Michigan team to
think more of Grange than any
other thing on the gr'dtron.
To then Grange was a constant
threat. The psychology of that first
run was apparent throughout the
rest of the game For that reason
Michigan did not play as well as it
is capable of.
Incidentally the success of
Grange in the Michigan game is go
ing to have a far-reaching effect.
Other Big Ten teams on the Il
linois schedule are worrying more
than ever about him.
In the opening game of the sea
son the heavy Nebraska line sewed
him up pretty well. Then came the
Michigan massacre.
Grange is a remarkable football
player, one of the game’s greatest.
He is coached by one of the most
resourceful mentors in the game,
Bob Zuppke.
It is a certainty that Zuppke will
rack his brain for ways and means
to preserve Grange’s greatness.
Zuppke realizes full well that a
groat 6‘ar like Grange can make his
ooach look mighty good.
Zuppke has already showed his
hand in Grange’s program for the
1924 season.
Last fall Grange was the offen
sive star. Get the ball to Grange
was the big thought. He was the re
ceiver of practically every forward
pass. Six feet tall, he was a fine
target for the passerj
Last year Grange ran wide at all
times. Through sheer speed, aided
by interference, he tried to leave
rival tacklers in his wake.
This year Grange has perfected
the art of passing ihe ball. He is
very adept, instead of running wide,
Zuppke has him cutting in.
Grange is no longer a one-threat
athlete but several, much to the
consternation of rival teams.

into the highly aromatic suite of
Jack Dempsey in the Alamac here
and observe the champion in dress

knockout, entitled "Bunches and
Batter."
At the present moment Mr.
Dempsey’s mind is as far removed
from the business of crunching hos
tile Jaws as bread pudding Is from
tho category of French viands.
Mr. Dempsey is to do a ’’double''

Dempsey Is signed for a period of
many weeks and there is more
chance of La Follette leading cheers

Mr. Dempsey allowing anything so
vulgar and commonplace as a prize

If Mr. Dempsey is aeen in the
ring growling savagely at a profes

a widespread antipathy on the part
of the customers for the champion

A clean sweep of that strong list

In the last three years Rockne has
turned out teams that have been the

there always has been n Jinx on
Notre Dame’s trail that has dimmed

As a novelty Mr. Dempsey will
