of Pittsburgh, furnished tha principal at
traction. Ahearn weighed 1E&K pounds.
whllo Crouse scaled in at 1U pounds.
Ahoarn gave a masterly display of the
silence of tho game ojid proved himself
(rousea master all the time. Crouse
was always -witling and forced the fight
ing, but his blows were wild and he never
once connected throughout the six rounds.
Ahearn kept Crowe's face full of gloves,
but his blowa laeked the steam neces
sary to gain a decisive victory, although
the decision waa decisively his.
in the opening bout "Danny" Ferguson
and " Fddte ' McAndrews, both from
Manayunk, boxed six hard rounds, and
at the finish McAndrews deserved the
decision by a shade- McAndrews weighed
JM pounds and Ferguson 137(.
' Young" McCartney, WA pounds, and
"Johnny" Duffy, both of Kensington,
furnished one of the most sensational
bout seen in a long1 time. McCartney
had all the better of the milling for the

Secret Work Is Going On at
Annapolis Army Team

in This City.
ANNAPOLIS, aid., Nov. 26. Four posi
tions on tho line of the Nrtval Academy
team and two In the buck field are appar
ently settled,' but the selection for the
other Ave places will not be made, by
Head Cop.ch Howard until the morning of
tho game nnd may bo determined by vari
ous causes, one bf'- which is -the 'condi
tion or the field.
Theio rlaces appear to be settled: Left end,
Captain Ovcrcsch: centre, Terry: right guard,
Oraf; right end, T. Harrison: quarterback.
Mllea: 'left halfback, L. niodgett. Tho tacklos
will bo chosen from Doroode, Ward, McCoach
and Kennedy, and either It. II. Jones or Mills
will start nt left guard. Falllnj or Craig will
bn the other halfbacks and 11. Harrison or
Rates fullback. Falling will undoubtedly start
the game If tho ground Is sort, while Craig
has a better chance It the ground Is hard
enough to make an end-running game adv li
able. The coaches surprised those who generally
assemble to see tha practice by .starting at 2
o clock icsterday, two hours earlier than uaual,
and stopping at about the time the practice
generally begins. There villi be practice to
day, probably In the moraine but the time
of this Is also kept secret, it Is understood
that the roaches desired to give tho new plan
which will be used against the Army eleven
on Saturday a thorough trial, and wished to
Insure that no Army acouts would learn any
thing about them. There was also a light
scrimmage.
WEST POINT. N. T.. Nov. 2a. The Army
eleven went through Its last hard work-out
yesterday In preparation for tho Navy gamo
Saturday. There will be a light signal drill
this morning, but tho heavy work Is finished.
Tha linemen got a little rough work, but the
big' team was not allowed any real scrim
maging. Four elevens nero running through the new
wrinkles which will be flashed for the first
tlmo on Saturday, Tho varsity, flrat, second
and third strings were driven by Captain
Prltchard, Harmon, Ollphant and McDermott
respectively at quarterback.
Tha varsity lined up with MoEwan at centre:
CHaro and Mearham. guards; Weyand and
Butler, tackles: Merrlllat and Ncylon, ends.
Captain Prltchard was at quarter. Van Fleet
and Coffin halfbacks, with Hodgson at full

NEWARK. WINS AMERICAN SCHOLASTIC TITLE IN RACE TODAY
ARMY AND NAVY '
ARE FORTUNATE TO
GET W. 8. LANGFORD
Referee in Saturday's Great
Battle Is Specialist in Role
of Gridiron Judge Comes
From Trinity.
Fw of tho thousands gathered at
Franklin Field on Saturday will give
more, than passing attention to the, slim,
agile, red-lialred man, clnrt In sweater,
bicycle trousers and stockings, who will
take the leaders of the Anny and Navy
team to the centre of tho field for a con
ference and then send the glistening
coin spinning ,ln tho air. They will be
loo busily engaged watching tho various
players to pay specific attention to him.
This man. upon whoso unerring Judg
ment hangs the result of this nil-Important
game. Is William S. Langford,
referee, graduate nnd gridiron star of
Trinity. I.angford, llko the successful
man lit every cnlllng. Is a specialist. For
somp years after he "broke Into" the
ofllrlnttng game he worked sometimes as
a referee nnd sometimes ns an umpire,
but during the past fow years he has de
voted IiIb entire football tlmo to the
study of the referee's position, and has
requested Herbert V,'. Taylor, secretary
of the Central Hoard of football of
llctals, to list him among the referees
only.
In 1S92 Langford entered Trinity. He
soon whb recognised as one of the most
finished players In college, nnd was a
member of the vnrslty teams In 1802-1SM.
He played tackle, whore he gained a wide
reputation ns a nlaer. Tho year after
ho left college, 1SD7. he began officiating.
At first his engagements wcro only
among tho smaller colleges nnd In minor
games, but he gradually demonstrated
that he was an official ns well as an ex
star. It was not long boforo his ser
vices began to be sought by the larger
etovens for their big games, and this ul
timately led lilm to tho top of ranking
football ofllclals. When I.angford bo
gnn his enrcer as an ofllclnl he was as
sociated with Vance McCormlck, tho re
cently defeated candidate for tho Gover
norship of Pcnnsvlvnnln, nnd also with
Taul Dashlel, "Buckcy" Vail and "Pa '
florbln. Up now serves on the Associate
Committee of ofllclals along with W. N.
Morlco and N. A. Tufta.
Thero was a big demand for I.nng
ford's services by many colleges up to
1006. In that year -tho Central Board of
ofllclnla was suggested by Dr. James A.
Uabbltt, of this city, nnd the board be
came a reality upon his recommendation
to the Rules Committee, of which ho was
a member.
During tho eight years since the for
mation of the Centrnl Hoard, Longford
hns been In Just ns grent demand ns ho
waB formerly, the only difference now
being thnt the applications for his serv
ices arc made through tho board and not
to him .personally.
"Just look over his games of the last
few years," said Mr. Taylor, "and you
will see Just what tho opinion of Mr.
Lnngford Is as nn ofllclnl. Tho big games
in which he has worked prove conclusive
ly thnt he Is one ot tho ablest ofllclals
In tho country."
Acting on this suggestion nnd looking
over Langrord's game for the past
years, it Is Indeed ovldent that ho
la first among omclnls. For Instance,
take the games In which ho acted as ref
eree In W13 and this year. Last season
he had tho following assignments: Yale
Holy Cross. Pcnn-Lafayctte, Cornell-Carlisle.
Carlisle-Pittsburgh, Penn-Carllsle,
Harvard-Cornell, Harvard-Princeton,
Yale-Princeton, Harvard-Yale, Cornell
renn nnd Army-Navy.
This season Langford has Just as many
big games as he did last. Ho will finish
his season Saturday with tho Army-Navy
game here on Franklin field. His other
gnmes this season have been: Ponn
Gettvsburg. Prlnceton-Bucknell, Harvard
Washington nnd Jefferson, Carlisle-Pittsburgh.
Penn-Carllslc. Harvard-Michigan.
Harvard-Princeton, Harvard-Brown. Hav-crford-Swarthmore,
Plttsburgh-Pcnn
8tato (today's game).
Beside his work on tho football field
as an official, Langford's suggestions to
the rules committee have been Invaluable.
Ho has been In a position to give that
body many Ideas for clarifying and
elucidating the code. Like all other ref
erees, points aro constantly being brought
to his attention which have never come
up before In games, and It Is his quick
decisions of these matters, as well ns the
routine work which has given his great
prestige.
The only time Langford was ever crit
icised severely was In the Princeton-Dartmouth
game, played November 11. Mil,
On that occasion ho proved that he was
as correct In his decision of an absolutely
unheard of play as he was quick In de
ciding, Princeton had been unable to
score on Dartmouth, but had the ball
near the 20-yard line. William F. DeWItt,
of the Tigers, stepped back to the 35
yard line and attempted a goal from Held.
The bull shot low through a hole In the
lino and bounded along the ground, finally
bouncing over the crossbar. Langford de
clared it a legitimate field goal. He proved
his contention by reading the rules,
which did not then provide that the ball
had to go between the posts and over the
bar before touching the ground, This
bizarre play led to a change In tho rules,
which makes It no longer possible for
such an unfortunate accident to happen.
Lrngford has studied the forward pasa
carefully and many of the prohibitions
against Its varied uso are the result ot his
clear.cut, logical suggestions.
Oat the epd a draw would be about right, n'
Tho boys stooa toe to toe an inrougn tne
six rounds and slugged for all they were
worth and had the crowd on its toes all
through.
In the semUwindup "Eddie" Camp!, of
San Kranclsco, showed his superiority
over "Eddie" O'Keefe, of this city, in
every stage of the game. O'Keefe waa
clover, but Campl beat the local iad to
every lead.
KENSINGTON A. C.
"Joe" Sprrell had little trouble defeat
ing Frank Igan In the main bout at
the Kensington Athletlo Club this after
noon. Uorrell waa Jn fine fettle and had
Logan practically at his mercy toward
the end of the fracas. Logan made a
game effort to do his best
In the semlwindup "Jack" Farrell beat
"Young" Wienie. It was a one-sided
bout.
The other fights resulted aa follows:
"Kid" 13 pots was awarded the decision
over "Lew" Hall in the flret bout.
"Charlie'' Lewia was awarded the de
cision over "Tommy" Lee in the second
round of the seeond battle. "Joe" Phelin

PENN PLAYS TIE
WITH CORNELL IN
SOCCER MATCH
Both Teams Score Two
Goals in Game Played at
Bon Air Country Club,
Manoa.
By plavJng a drawn game with Cornell,
each side scoring two goals, the Uni
versity of PcnnBlvanla dropped Its first
point In the Intercollegiate Soccer
League at tho Bon Air Country Club,
Manoa. this morning. The Hed and Blue
should have undoubtedly won. Plalng
with tho wind In their favor In the first
half tlicy scored only ono goal, when they
should have been at least three up at
tho Intel val. Poor shcotlug and poor
shooting alono nccounted for Penn'a
failure and tho forwards have only them
selves to blame for dropping a point.
Play had been In progress about 15
minutes when Jack Thayer got through
and scotcd for renn. Keeping up the
pressure Pcnn had many moro shots nt
goal, but could not get through and at
half tlmo held a lead of ono goal to none.
Ten minutes nftcr tho restart Dyer head
ed through from a corner for Cornell, but
Murphy gavo Pcnn the lead again with
a flno goal. Play vas even for somo
tlmo after this, and with only a little
ovct flvo minutes to go It looked as If
Pcnn had the gamo In hand. However, a
flno run by Russell half way down tho
field resulted In that plaver scoring and
when time was called the score stood
two all.

K O. O'Donnell, of Gloucester, Through
out the entire six rounds the boya went
at it hammer and tongs, First one would
take tha lead and then the other. In the
last round both were tired and Murray
had q shade the better ot it.
Krankle Kelson, of New York, sub
stituted for Johnny Fasane, who It was
