College Gridiron Gleanings
By ZDWABD K. BUSHNELL
The new open game which Princeton
and Yale nr teaching will get Its most
thorough test on Saturday, when each
meets a team to beat which will require
all It knows of modern and ancient foot
ball. The Tigers play Dartmouth and YIe
plays Washington and Jefferson. Both
have old scores to settle, for last year
Dartmouth beat Princeton, 6-0, and
Washington and Jefferson played Yale to
a scoreless tie.
These games should demonstrate be
yond question whether or not tho open
passing of tho Tigers and F.lls can do
ah the coaches predict for It. Both
teams will have to play football of
championship caliber to win at all There
was no doubt last year that Dartmouth
was superior In men and team work to
Princeton, while Yale men considered
themselves very lucky to escape without
a defeat from Washington and Jefferson.
Both Dartmouth and Washington and
Jefferson are stronger this year than in
l'13, which doesn't permit either Prince
ton or Yale to be particularly optimistic.
These two games will demonstrate the
coring value of the wide open game
built upon a plenttful use of the forward
pass. Princeton will meet its strongest
antagonist to date in this Dartmouth
eltven. Dartmouth has the same back
ficld that smothered Princeton a year
ago, but that game was played on a
heavy field and the superiority of Dart
mouth's rushing same was a . strong
factor In the Green's victory.
Both Princeton and Yale seem to
think that the passing game will be suf
ficient tu defeat their opponents. Both
have been working along much the same
lines In its development, each uing Ca
nadian rugby players to teach the pass
ing art. The competition between Prince
ton and Yale in this respect Is keen and
interesting. Princeton is counting a lot
on the coaching of "Dummy" Rltter, of
the 1W1 team, who was one of tlie Ti
gers' greatest halfbacks. Since his grad
uation Rltter has been living In the Ca
nadian Northwest. There he couldn't
keep out of football and decided to learn
the Canadian game He made such 4
success of it that he was made captain
of the Beglna (Saskatchewan) team,
which last year won the championship
of the province. Thus he knows the line
points of both games and should be able
to teach them perfectly
Another Tiger coach who can't be du
rllcatfd at Yale is Donald G. Herring.
who after playing the game at Prince
ton went to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar,
and here he was so proficient that he
mado the Oxford rugby team. The ex
tent to which thie men have grafted
upon the American game the passing
features of Canadian and English football
will be known in the Dartmouth game.
This contest ought to be productive of
the best football of the day.
Whether Yale's great work Is due to
the coaching of the Imported Canadian
plaers or to the methods of Frank
Hlnkey Is not yet evident, but the Ells
are certalnlv playing more advanced foot
ball than any other team In the country-
It may be that the Ells will dis
pose of Washington and Jefferson more
easily than Harvard beat this same
eleven Possibly the result will be much
the same as In the Notre Dame eonteet.
The Indiana eleven didn't live up to Its
reputation at all.
Meanwhile Pennsylvania Is preparing for
the Indians, and the Quakers are not
underestimating this Indian eleven either
It is evident that the Redmen are now
beginning to come They always play
their best against Pennsylvania, and in
eplte of their threeruccessive defeats they
may be counted on to put up a good
battle
'oach Brooke is trying a new method
In the development of the Pennsylvania
XtAtn this year It Is to give the team
only three scrimmages a week In ad
dition to the game After each game the
men set a two days' rest over Sunday
and Monday Then they are worked hard
the next three days with a scrimmage
against the freshmen on Thursday and
nothing but signal practice on Friday.
This, Brooke t kinks, will put them In
rare fighting trim for every game
The shift made in the team yesterday
by whleh Captain Joumeay will play
centre will probably strengthen Instead
of weaken the team Journeay passed
the- ball exceptionally well against tho
Nary and he helped to back up all the
other positions at the same time With
Journeay at center. Dortias gets a po
sition at guard This man has learned
tbs game so thorough'y and plays it
with so much enthusiasm that he I

likely to prove Invaluable. His progress
has been rapid, but very thorough, and
Just as soon as the coaches let him carry
tho ball he Is likely to be jnore of a
surprise.
CARLISLE, Pa., Oct. SO. Not many of tha

DID YOU EVER PUT IN AN EVENING
FRANCIS OUIMET
TO APPEAR HERE
IN SPRING TEST
Has Announced His Inten
tion of Coming to This City
to Take Part in One of the
Big Tournaments.
Francis Oulmet will visit Philadelphia
next spring. Of course no arrangements
have been made so far as to what
course or courses he will play over, but
It Is not nt all Improbable that he will
visit Merlon, Huntingdon Valley and
Whltemarsh. provided ho can spare the
time. Few Phlladelphlans have had an
opportunity of seeing Oulmet play and
his presence here Is sure to prove a big
attraction.
It did not take long for Mrs. Ronald
H. Barlow to take her revenge on Mrs.
E H. Fltler for beating her in the Ber
thellyn cup last month. In the final
round of the Invitation tournament at
the Philadelphia Cricket Club she do
feated Mrs. Filler 3 up and 2 to play.
However. Mrs. Fltler proved that she Is
playing tho best golf of her career this
season, despite the fact that she has
ben suffering from neuritis. Three
missed putts told the story yesterday,
but In other respects thero was little to
choose between them.
La6t week's rain came as a blessing to
green keepers and It mado golf much
more like golf than it has boon for sev
eral weeks. Players who were driving
between 3.0 and 300 yards have to be
content with a much shorter dlstanco
now, and the moderato golfer, who
was making remarkably low scores, for
him, has returned to his old ways.
COLLINS TO LEAD
YANKEES? THIS
IS NEWS TO HIM
New York Reports That
Mack May Sell Eddie to
Highlanders Second
sacker Surprised.
If there Is a plan on foot between the
Athletics and the New York Yankees to
sentence Eddie Collins to the managerial
chair of the latter club In exchange for
players and money, the deal la being put
through without the knowledge of Con
nie's second baseman- This morning,
when told that his name had been men
tioned In connection with the Yankees
for next season. Collins said: "I have
never heard of this before. I didn't see
anything about It In the papers and I
don't know any more about It than you
do." .
Those were the only remarks that Ed
die would vouchsafe on the subject He
would not say that he would absolutely
refuse an offer, because there Is no
doubt that any man In baseball will ac
cept most any position If the ftnannal
erd of the proposition looks good to him
It appears that In some way the rumor
began In New York regarding Collins
According to this rumor Collins was to
be sent to manage the Yankees- He was
to be sold by Connie Mack for a sum of
money plus tome Inrlelders.
This, Recording to the New York re
port. Is the first of a series of retrench
ment steps which Connie Mack Is about
to make It Is a known fact that Col
lins has a long, high-priced contract with
the Athletics This, coupled with the
alleged statement by the local AmTn an
League Club, that th- lost nrntiti this
year, seems to be the basis of the "re
trenchment' story
"You Know Me, Al"
The whole nation knows "Al,"
because RING LARDNER has in
troduced him in his famous base
ball stories, "A Busher's Letters
Home." These stories furnished
the choicest humor of the baseball
season, but they did more: thev
gave the inside view of the baseball
player's life as it has never before
been revealed.
RING LARDNER
is just as familiar with football as
he is with the "national game,"
and he will report the
Harvard-Michigan
Game
for the Evening Ledger in a series
of his inimitable articles beginning
on or about October, 27 and con
tinuing until N'ovember 3. The
advance "dope," the play and the
"post-mortem" will all be covered.

PLUCKY ST. LUKE'S
TEAM HOLDS PENN
CHARTER TO TIE
Wayne Aggregation Out
plays Quakers in Second
Half Episcopal Beaten
by Swarthmore Prep.
Yesterday was not a very profitable
one for the members of the Interacademlo
League football teams. Of the three
schools that took part In games, Epis
copal was given a crushing defeat by tho
Swarthmore Prep, 19 to 0, Penn Charter
was tied by RL Luke's, T to 7, while
Germantown Academy was barely able to
dispose of the crippled Radnor High
eleven, 16 to 13. This was the nearest
Penn Charter has come to a defeat this
season, having disposed of Cheltenham
High, Lower Merlon and Swarthmore
Prep In order. On form, Merrltt's team
should have won the game, hut they
were fairly outplayed after the first half,
when Guyer scored a touchdown after
catching a forward pass. After this, the
Quakers had few chances to score, while
St Luke's, battling for every Inch, finally
tied up the count late In the game. After
holding a lead of 16 points at the end of
the third period, Germantown went to
pieces In the final quarter and were all
but beaten by Radnor High. The whistle
ending the game came to their aid after
the visitors had scored 13 points. Judg
ing from yesterday's game this will be a
lean year for Episcopal. The Churchmen
have been showing none too good form all
season, but the Swarthmore reverse Is
all the more crushing In view of the fact
that Penn Charter easily defeated this
team a few weeks ago.
Much was expected of Stephenson, the
t'entral High runner. In Saturday's novice
cross-country event, but he fell down
badly on the final turn around the hill,

When any guy Is labeled Hank you
think of him as lean an' lank an' not
Apollo's style. Well, that fits Gowdy
well. You wouldn't hardly call him swell
or praise his looks a pile. But when It
comes to playln' ball looks, they don't
help a bloke at all. So Hank ain't II ko
to fret If he was homely nB a hag It
couldn't hurt his Boston drag. Not now,
at least, you bet.
When Rarlflen Jumped to the Feds tho
Boston fans all shook their heads and
sent up one long wall. Then Gowdy came.
In ninety days the whole town echoed
with hlB pralso from brownstone front to
Jail. Base thieves found plckln's mighty
slim; 'twas near sure death to steal on
him. An' how that man did bat! He got
the pitchers on the run, then kept 'em
runnln' Jus' for fun to make his av'rago
fat.
Hank's young yet, too Just twenty-four.
He played In Buffalo before he Joined
the beantown Braves. He used to play
around first base till Stalllngs chased
him to his plaoe among the batt'ry
slaves. A few years back one Muggs
McGraw looked over Hank an' then said;
"Naw, that kld'tl never do." It must

While the National Commission haa
never given out any statement In the
matter, It was generally believed that
organized baseball directed by Its gov
erning body, would make a fight on the
JJaaebull Players' Fraternity. The reason
was because It was announced In nearly
all of the papers that a certain Smith,
plced on the "frat's" board of directors
was a Federal Leaguer. The startling
fact has now ccmo to light that there
is more than one Smith In baseball
and that the man appointed on the board
of the fraternity Is not a Federal Leaguer
and does not Intend to become one. This
leads to the statement from Davy Fultz
that organized baseball has assured him
that It will not attempt to Interfere with
the affairs of the fraternity.
Directum I and William have been
matched for a dual meet at Readvllle,
Mass.. for October 23. This match differs
from the usual dual meets In that the
hammer throw and other field events will
not be on the program.
Howard Drew has been accused of pro
fessionalism. Tout la California amused
over the changes. Whether he Is guilty
of having run for money, many people
will think he did. This surely goes to
show that such charges should be kept
secret by the A. A. V. until the matter
has been settled one way or the other.
If It Is found. In such cases, that the
man Is guilty of professionalism, there
Is no reason why the facts should not
be published, but when the reverse Is
true, nothing ought to be given out for
publication for the reason given above,
that whenever a man Is accused of any.
thing some people think he Is guilty.
The AH-Amerlcans and All-Nationals
are becoming quite historical, not to say
mythological. Yesterday Alexander the
Great defeated Old King Cole In a pitched
pitchers' battle, when our own Alex al
lowed the Americans two hits, which
probably recalled sad memories to the
Athletics there.
It is possible that they may have re
membered something about a hurler by
the name of James, whose name was
connected In some manner with two hits
on a certain occasion not In the distant
past
Of course It may happen that "Eddie"
Collins will manage the New York Yan
kees next year All things may happen
which are not absolutely Impossible. Yet
It seems foolish to think that Connie
Mack would allow "Eddie" to go, and
more foolish to think that "Eddie" would
undertake cuch a proposition where so
many have failed. Still, you cannot tell.
It may not happen until "Birnum wood

It Is Indeed remarkable what a difference
four baseball games will have on the at
titude of tho "mob" toward an Individual.
After reading the morftlng papers of
Philadelphia and New York, the conclu
sions reached concerning tho Army-Navy
game are as follows: "The game will
be played In Philadelphia this year. Every
detail has been settled;" "the game will
not be played In Philadelphia nor else
where this season;" "tho game may be
played In Philadelphia this year"; "the
game may be played In New York": "the
Army refuses to accept the Navy's
team"; "the Army accepts the Navy's

Princeton coaches probably realize that
the Tigers need a lot of drilling. They
sent them through one of the hardest
practice sieges of the year yesterday.
Last night's fight winners at the Olym
pla Athletic Association's entertainment
were:
Main bout "Eddie" O'Keefe, a big mar
gin over "Young" Solsberg.
Seml-wlndup "Johnny" Mayo, of this
city, won from "Young" Fulton, of New
York. Fulton wasn't so willing to ex
chango punches this time.
Other bouts "Wllll" Herman had a
shade on "Eddie" McAndrews. "Zulu
Kid," of New York, beat "Joe" Rivers,
of thlc city. "Kid" Wagner, of Wilkes-
uarre, won from "Peck' Miller.
Walter Maranvltle, the greatest short
stop In the game, broke Into baseball
against his father's wishes. Pero Maran
vlllo thought that "Rabbit" would maks
a mighty good tinner, but as a ball player
bah! Several years ago the "Rabbit"
played amateur baseball In odd moments
and his work attracted the attention of
the Now Bedford, Mass., team. "Rab
bit" got an offer from the New Bedford
team and went to his dad about It
"Turn It down," said Papa MaranvlIIe to
"Rabbit," who Just then was IcarnlnS
the tinner's trade. "In a fow years you'll
develop Into a good tinner and you'll
make good wages at least J3T a week.
As a ball player you'll never mako good.
Tou're too small." "Rabbit," however,
had ambitions to become a ball player.
He thought he could make good, even If
his father didn't. He disregarded the
advice of his dad and signed up with
New Bedford. "Ycu'll be sorry and so
will I," said his father when he heard
what "Rabbit" had done. "You'll never
make good. They'll firo you In mighty
Bhort order. And you'll got so used to
loafing that you won't want to work at
your tinning Job again. Instead of hay
ing a son that I can be proud of. a son
who works hard at a regular trade, I'll
have a son who won't be working at
anything."
Was papa right or, was papa wrong?
Although Eddla O'Keefe outpointed
Young Solsberg at the Olympla last
night, the latter scored a knockdown la
the fourth round. This was due largely
to tha carelessness of O'Keefe, who had
the fight all his own way.
There has been much dissatisfaction
among the .football fans over the In
creased prices at Franklin Field this
year. Whether this has reaUy cut down
the attendance appreciably la doubtful.
Still It Is a fact that when the prices
of athletic contests are raised there Is
always a group of people who vent their
displeasure through the medium of tin
newspapers. This happened when th
prices were raised at Shlbe Park. Tt
there Is every reason to believe that thll
fact did not cut down the attendance.
The same thing has happened every
where, both In baseball andJfootball, but
the people after a few futile kicks havs
become resigned to the higher flgur
and soon forget that there had evr
been any others. So It will be here
