IfaOTBALL RULES AND OFFICIALS .
PERMIT ROUGH STUFF THIS YEAR
Yitle-Lehigh Mix-up Direct Result of Laxness Penn
Coaches Overlook Good BetIndoor Track Meets
Will Hold Boards This Winter
jlDdT6Xt.L 1 essentially a game for red-blooded men. U was never intended
JU for mollycoddles. Hut this year there lias been much of the rough play,
Which the rules committee and oftlclals should unite to eliminate.
Rough, tackling Jed to a tight In the Lnfuyetto-Muhlonburg game three
week fcgo, and alleged unfair piling up on a man after ho had been downed
fed id a row between the Lehigh and Yale players lam week.
On many other gridirons in the
players have- been purposely tackled out of bounds' or Jostled and bumped when
not concerned in the play.
Officials As Well As Rules Arc to Blame
Tackling a player when out of bounds Is contrary to the rule's, so is
filing Up on a man nftcr he has been downed. Hut it la the exception rather
than the rule, when ofHclnls indict penalties for such violations. They rarely
take action Unless It Is conspicuously open and flagrant or a man Is hurt.
Another cause of roughness for which the rules arc responsible Is failure
to provide legislation making it Illegal for a player of the kicking side when
going down the field to bump another player Just for tho fun of bumping him.
It Invariably Irritates the player Jostled" and leads to further roughness.
Pcnn Coaches Overlook Those Who May 13c Future Greats
The University of Pennsylvania football coaching system, In some respects
the, greatest In the country, does not measure up to that of most of the other
bit Institutions In at least ono Important particular. There uru too many
idle men on Fi'anklln Field. Scrimmages are usually limited to Just two teams,
the varsity and scrubs. Nearly every day tho second and third varsity
teams and a second scrub team arc restricted to tho usual preliminary drill
and possibly n, little signal practice. They do not get the scrimmage work,
which nlono develops football ability. There are usually four or live .coaches
following' the varsity tea.m and one for the scrubs; but rarely any for tho
substitutes, some of whom never even get Into a practice scrimmage more
than once in a week or 10 days.
Cross-Country Run Paves Way for Penn-Princcton Meets
After a short respite track and Held athletes will now turn their atten
tion to the fall and winter sports. Cross-country running will come in for
a big boost here, and tho general Interest Indicates that the 1915 period will
be a record-making one.
Pennsylvania will set the pace in the hlll-nnd-dale game In this vicinity, 1
for the Quaker runners have the glguntlu task of overcoming tho squads
which Princeton and Cornell will send here next month. J
For tho first time in the history of the sport Penn nnd the Tigers will
meet in a dual cross-country run. The date is November 6. Athletic rela-
tlons have never been quite as wnrm between tho two great universities as :
it should., but followers believe better things are In store. It is not a far
stretch of the imagination to picture Penn and Princeton in a dual set of
track and field games before another year rolls around. I
Cornell will be here November 13. and the supreme test of all the Inter
collegiate distance teams will be November 20, when the championship .con- '
test Is staged. Cornell made a runaway of it last year, and will have another
strdng aggregation In the reckoning this season.
Y. M. C. A.'s Prepare for Active Indoor Season
By November 1 every athlete representing the Young Men's Christian
Associations of the Philadelphia district will be In active training for the
Indoor track and field meets to be promoted here during tho winter months.
At Central a number of dual contests are to be urranged, while West
Branch, as usual, will have dual contests with Vlctrlx Catholic Club, Penn
freshmen and other local organizations. The other branches of the district
all have scheduled big athletic events, and all will be represented in the annual
board championships at the Central building In March.
Last year was a season crammed with activities; but from the present
outlook the remainder of the year 1915 and the first part of 191C will be
& record-breaker. More. contests are on the program than ever before.
"All-for-Glory" Run Starts "Open" Ball a Rolling
West Branch Y. M. C A., with Its headquarters at DL'd nnd Sansom
streets, the first Philadelphia organization to take up the "all-for-glory" idea
of athletics, will promote its first set of "Just-for-fun" races next Friday night.
OWen V. Davis, physical director at the "branch," has extended an invi
tation to all local training athletes to take part. The race will be u starter
for the big events to follow. Tho dlstnnce of the first race will sul,t even
the middle-distance runners, as the route mapped out Is about u mile and a
half long. Last year thebe runs were held and champion athletes competed.
No prizes are given, the athletes simply getting sport and training out of
it. Handicaps are awarded the less speedy Individuals, so that all starters
have an equal chance.
The first race of an "all-for-glory" nature was held here last fall by
the West Branchers, and so successful was the venture that it was decided
to continue them this year.
Red Sox Wide Awake on Signals in Series
It wfts generally supposed before the world's series games began -that
the Phillies, having won the National League pennant largely through the
exploiting of eo-called Inside baseball, would spring a few stunts to open
Red -Sox eyes. But the reverse proved to be the case, Just as the enemy
pitchers outhurled the Moran moundmen.
Instead of the Phillies 'using the squeeze play and the hit-and-run with
effect, as they did during the season, they did not on a single occasion in
the five games get away with- the former and only once with the latter.
Once the Hit and Run Play Counted
In the first inning of the final game Stock was hit by a pitched ball and
was-on first when the hit-and-run play was signalled, with two strikes and
two bills on Bancroft. Scott ran over to cover second as Stock started down,
and Bancroft neatly shot a single through the hole Scott made. Even at ihat,
the fast" fielding of Lewis prevented Stock even taking a look at third base.
If the Phillies did pull the squeeze und the hit-and-run on the National
League clubs, why is it they did not do so on the Red Sox, particularly ns
tlie opportunities were so numerous? The answer is thitt the Phillies were
during on several of these occasions -nnd did not get the sign, and when
tsey did get the sign, the Red Sox also got it and broke up the play.
Phillies Were Asleep and Failed to- Get Signals
Twlc in the, series, in the eighth Inning of the first game and the sixth
tailing of the last game, Luderus was to all indents and purposes thrown outH
Wealing. But the play was a hit-and-run, the sign for which the Boston play
ers nau oDiainea-
The result was the Red Sox catcher signaled for a pitch-out and
LuderUs. was an easy victim. These plays made the Phllly captain look
foolish, as he was caught by yards each time, while the real trouble was
that the Phillies were unable to conceal their signals.
Paskert Dozed and Plays Went for Naught
In the third game, played at the Braves' field in Boston, Stock started
the contest with a hit that went for two bases when Speaker lost the ball in
the sun. Bancroft sacrificed him to third, ond Paskert was up with one down
and a runner at the last turn.
Manager Moran gave the signal for the squeeze piny, but Paskert was '
not alert enough to get It. Stock got It, but he would have been out at the
jIAtfe had not t'askert, who was supposed to bunt, hit a high foul to Ourdener,
sjfvlpg Stock plenty or time tp get back to third base. Had Paskert been
sWve. to the situation. Alexander might have gained the decision over Dutch
Xonard Jnstcad of being beaten 2 to 1.
Moran Planned Well But Players Failed to Execute -.
Taskert failed again to get the squeeze signal In the third Inning of this
fJitHQ game, and lost unother run, as he hit the ball to short centre field and
Bury MaaVe a great catch, holding Alexander ut third base.
ThU i4s to show, that Moran mapped out Ills attack correctly; but that
a&avjss were so upnef by the fact that they we're in the series they were not

turn date, but tho match will have to tie
Mx or ten rounds at the present time.
After 'Kewpic' has four or five lights
here, then we may box him 20 rounds.
The weight for a Williams match will
haw to be lift pounds, rlngnlde, and I
think that It Is my place to be the dic
tator this time.
"Sammy Harris got all the best of It,
lrom a financial standpoint, In our first
meeting. Now I think that I should get
a lilt the best of It."
"Kewple" stands but I feet 11 Inches

New List of Events Will Be

Proiltlng by the mistakes made last

Sioup competitions and relay races In
Madison Square Garden, the Intcrachol
astlc Association of Amateur Athletics,
through the medium of the executive and
advisory committees, will change some of
tho conditions governing that scries In
the future.
There will be no more single lap scram
bles, which will be remembered to have
resulted In more foul running than had
been anticipated by the pioposcrs of the
games.
If the amendments to the by-laws,
which were exhaustively discussed at a
special meeting In the Waldorf-Astoria by
the members of the executive and ad
visory committees, are adopted, and It
almost goes without saying that they will
at the next session, a special meeting to
be held In Boston November 19, the day
before the holding of the Intercollegiate
cross-country championship, the events
will be as follows:
WELSH PICKS FOES
FOR BOUTS BEFORE
HE QUITS BOXING
Dundee, White, Mandot and
Ritchie Will Get Crack at
Lightweight Crown All
bantams at Olympia
HANLON-LOUISIANA SPLIT
Following Fred Welsh's threat to retire
with the ceasing of the biff, bang, blng of
flicworks on the coming glorious Fourth,
the lightweight champion has selected
four opponents he would like to meet be
fore he passes from the pugilistic lime
glare. They are Johnny Dundee, Charley
White, Joe Mandot and Willie Ritchie.
According to Harry Tollok, Welsh's ad
viser and manager, the Englishman
started training In New York last Mon
day. He will be leady to meet any of the
quartet mentioned in a championship bout
In about two months and then defend his
title against the others two months apart.
"After these matched," reads Pollok's
announcement, "Freddy Is done and they
can light It out among themselves." It
stems ns If Pollok Is certain Welsh can
defend his laureals successfully In the
four matches mentioned. He may be a
surprised man after a bout with either
Dundee or White, as Jumping Johnny
probably would outpoint Welsh, while the
chnnces ore that the tltleholder would
run Into one of White's left-hand sleep
poultices In a 20-round bout.
Another nil-bantam show will bo held
at tho Olympia October 25. Joe O'Donncll,
of Gloucester, and Al Shubert, of Ited
ford, Mass., will nuot in the final. The
other bouts follow: Young Marino vs.
Kddle O'Kcefe, Young Solsberg vs. Ar
thur Simons, Young O'Leary vs. Johnny
Campl nnd Young Dlgglns vs. Alf Mans
field, an English flyweight.
Jack Hanlon and Louisiana have split.
The matchmaker of tho Olympia no
longer Is looking after the bantam
weight's manageilal affairs. Hanlon says
the break came when Jack refused to put
loulsl In the bantam show for October 23.
Two changes have been made In tho
Olympla's program for Monday. Hunch
O'NVII, a Boston boxer, will 'take Sailor
frmlley'a place against Johnny Mealy,
while. Lew Fink, who won on a foul over
Jess Wlllard In the heavyweight cham
pion's llrt bout, will meet Jack Hubbard
In Joe Itosen's stead. Smiley was bitten
by a dog the early part of the week.
Alex Costlca. Kumanlan boxer, has left
Philadelphia for Canada. He said ho
could not do himself Justice in alx-round
bouts.
MAYER, OF VIRGINIA,
HOLDS POINT RECORD
Halfback of Eleven That De
feated Yale Scored 121 Points
Last Year.
The University of Virginia football team,
which recently defeated Yale, won tho
championship of the South last autumn.

with North Carolina.
Mayer's record for amassing points In
19H was 121, representing IS touchdown
and seven goals from touchdowns. In the

game and with It the premier footba.ll
honors of the South. Mayer has been re
peatedly selected by Southern critics ns

oO Theodore
O' Ultra, j
The Bivouac of the Dope
The muffled cheer's dull roar hat beat the
Batehtt'a latf tattoo:
No more Upon the portlng theet the Box
teore holds review;
On Fame's black headlined camping
grounds they flash no balm of hope
Where winter guards, with solemn round,
the Bivouac of the Dope.
.Vo rumor of "It's Leonard's turn" now
brings the Bugland thrill;
No throbbing thoughts that haunt or burn
where Foster crowns the Mil;
Vo vision of tomorrow's strife athwart the
grecn-tur'fed mat;
Xo cheer or jier forever rife as aavvy
comet to bat.
"Long had the doubtful conflict waged o'er
all the rhtllg plain;
For never fiercer fight had waged the
vengeful blood of Spain;"
And, trailing where the path was rough,
thev fought without a taint,
Till Lewis pilfered Heeler's stuff and "hll
'em where then ain't."
The neighing Bug, the bunt well played,
the bleacher's stirring blast,
The steal, the Hooper cannonade, the din
and shout are past;
Sor Cody's peg nor Speaker's whack shall
thrill with fierce occfolm
Dull breasts, till April gathers back the
Qlory of the Game.
SOME one must have shouted out the
Sheik's curso upon Boston as a world
series city. The old town has won only
four of them out of four starts.
If There Hod Been Trickery
The honesty of baseball as the game Is
fought upon the field doesn't need any
defending. Any one who believes that In
any wav there Is a touch of crookedness
In baseball play Is too crazy to be in
volved In a sane discussion. Dut for the
benefit of those who desire a good, sound
point to support an argument along this
line the following might bo used:
The last three world Berles have been
played in a limit of 14 games-five In 1913.
four In 1914 and five In 1915. The limit
for these three years the number of
games that might have been played was
21. If there had been any trickery seven
more games might have been crowded In
since 1913 alone. Each of these seven
games that were never played cost $50,000
in cash. The entire seven cost $3S0,0OJ In
cash. Dascball as a financial proposition
has paid small dividends, or no divi
dends, or has returned losses tor the last
year or so. Which hasn't prevented a
total of 350,000 In three. years being turned
back to the fans solely because each
game, was played strictly on the level,
without regard to cost.
Alexander Is a fine pitcher, but he Isn't
"another Mathewson." Neither is any
body else.
After Alexander has drawn his world
series we are yearning to seo Walter
Johnson get his chance. Johnson la golm;
back? Well, with a club that finished,
fourth In place of first he won seven more
BARTFIELD IS VICTOR
IN M'CARRON BATTLE
Brooklyn Middleweight Wins in
National's Wind-up Jimmy
Fryer Wins
Jack McCarrbn, of Allentown, collided
with a tartar In Soldier Bait field, of
Brooklyn, In the wind-up at the National
A. C. last night, and at the finish of
the scheduled six sessions the entry from
the city across the bridge from tho big
burg was a winner. The men fought
hard and fast, each trying his utmost to
win by the knock-out route.
Bartfleld's ability to land on Jack's
face ard body at short range brought
him through on top. Twice he staggered
McCarron with sweeping lefts that landed
flush on the Jaw.
There was more action crowded In the
last round than In any of the others.
Harttleld went at McCarron at the sound
of tho gong, and Jack met him In tho
mlddleof the ring. They started slam
ming each other hard about the head and
bodv and kept this up until the last 10
seconds of the bout. In which time they
were locked In a clinch.
In the Bemiflnal Jimmy Fryer scored a
hair-line decision over Dick Jasper of
Boston. Fryer outboxed Jasper and landed
hard on the face and body. Fryer came
near being knocked out In the third round
when he took a savage belt on the Jaw
that toppled him to the floor.
Young Jack Toland defeated Darby Cas
per In six hard sessions, Johnny Mandy
of Brooklyn, and Al Nash, of this city
boxed a draw.
Adam Ryan's pupil, Fred Jordan, out
classed Mike (McFadden, the referee stop
ping the tight In the second round to save
the latter from further punishment.
