Regret among cness players here will be general when thev learn that Dr. Alexander Alekhine will not come back to New York as was hoped. The world chamnion has returned from Canada to Chicago, where he arrived early last week. There he waited a favorable message relating to the pro-pcvd tournament in New York in which he expected to participate. In this he was disappointed.
Lack of financial support caused the abandonment of the project. It is understood that the champion will proceed to the Pacific Coast and, sometime during this month, take ship for the Orient. Playing against thirty opponents in the gymnasium cf the Hamilton club, Dr. Alekhine scored twenty-six wins, including one blindfolded game, one loss to Jack Collins of the University of Chicago, and four draws with L. J. Isaacs, F. Sherwood. C. Elison and L. Zolucka.
(New York Sun) Kupchik Leads Tournament A. Kupchik defeated D. MacMurray in the fourth round, assumed the lead in the championship tournament of the Manhattan Chess club with a score of 3-1.

UP) Although Southern California's Trojans defeated Notre Dame today to finish their regular season undefeated and untied, tne university 01 micn-igan tonight was declared winner of the Knute K. Rockne Memorial trophy, symbolic of the national football championship, under tne uicmnson rating system. Southern California won one more game than the Wolverines, but Professor Frank G. Dickinson of the University of Illinois, originator of the system, said Michigan outranked the Trojans, because of the superiority of middle-western football in intersection al games. Michigan had a rating of 28.47 with Southern California second at 26.81. Pittsburgh, undefeated but tied by Ohio State and Nebraska, had 26.49 for this place, and Purdue ranked next with 26.33. Colgate, the only undefeated and untied major eastern eleven, rated fifth with 25.00 points. Southern California won the trophy last year, for the second time, having been ranked first In 1928.
Post season games are not considered by Dr. Dickinson in making his ratings, and the Tournament of Roses contest between Southern Cali fornia and Pittsburgh will have no bearing In nis calculations. A table of differential points, com piled on the basis of intersectional games, rated the various sections of the country as follows: Middle West, plus 4.77. Southwest, plus 1.36. East 0.00.
South, minus 2.59. Big Six, minus 2.60. Pacific Coast, minus 2.71. The trophy is sponsored by the fa' mous "Four Horsemen" of Notre Dame, members of the 1924 Irish regular backfield, Harry Sthuldreher, James Crowley, Don Miller and Elmer Layden.
