PENN STATE IS HARD OPPONENT
FOR CRIMSON FOOTBALL TEAM
Harvard Coaches Worried Over Game to Be Played
Saturday Captain Lamb One of Best Tackles in
Country Today Did Great Work Against Penn
Life in tho big colleges nowadays la one darn football game nfter tinotlicr.
No longer do these teams sit back nnd wait until the chnmplonshln battles
are fought before worrying about tho outcome. They begin right nt tho
start of the season to guess what tho result of each gnmo will be, nnd tho
guessing continues until tho last signal is called In the final contest. Ynlo
has been stung a couplo of times, 1'enn Is In the same boat and Harvard
think of It stubbed her too last Saturday over ten points scored by Cornell.
Dartmouth, Michigan and several others also hnvo had hard luck, and tho
season only has begun.
It Is admitted that Yalo will have her hands full when Colgate turns her
football team loose In the bowl Saturday, nnd tho coaches arc worrying over
the result. Hut the Ulue eleven Is not the only ono that has Its troubles.
Brother Harvard will entertain n very healthy guest In l'cnn State, and it
Is feared that the Crimson again will be dragged In the dust. Hnughton'n
team is not in the best shape, and tho line Is all shot to pieces. Gllman Is
out of the game because of Injuries, nnd the other linesmen nre about to
bo relegated to the scrubs to make way for new faces.
l'cnn Game State's Only Bijr Contest
Penn State has a good team this year. While tho only big game played
this far has been against Psnn, tho players showed that they knew football
nnd could play It when they cared to. In Uerryman, State has ono of the
best plunging halfbacks In the 13ast, nnd Kwlng. nt quarter, li good enough
to hold a Job on nny eleven. Captain Lamb, nt tackle, outplayed his oppo
nent on Franklin Field, and Hlggins, at end, is without a peer in the coun
try today.
All of these men played against Harvard last year.when the gnme ended
10 to 10. The Crimson was trailing behind by the score of 10 to 3 until the
last mlnuto of piny, when Hnrdwick recovered u fumble, nnd a 'touchdown
resulted. Some say thnt Harvard was lucky to get oft with a tie score, and, t
Judging from accounts of the game, this Is true. I
Hut the player most feared at Cambridge Is Hlggins. This young man
caused all kinds of trouble for the Crimson last year and Is likely to do tho
same thing Saturday. Shelton and Ecklcy showed up tho Hnrvard ends last
week, and as Hlggins is Just as good as those two, he is due to give n few
opponents a very unpleasant afternoon.
Princeton Ends Arc Fast and Strong
The rrinccton ends nre of high calibre, and Yale will have a pair of
speedy men nt the wings by the time of the annual game. This being tho
ense, Harvard should protlt by playing against first-class ends. Hnughton
will have n chance to look over his tackles and show them tho proper way
to take care of tho wing .men and also to teach his halfbacks how to act
when a speeding end Is rushing toward them. If tho tackles arc not bolstered
up Princeton will run through them nt will, nnd Yalo is likely to do the
same thing.
Penn State has n good chance to beat Hnrvard, but we would not go
eo far as to predict a victory. The best time to find out who won the games
Is late Saturday night or Sunday morning. It will save explanations for the
bad guesses mndc the day before. But State defeated Penn 13 to 3, Penn
held Pitt to a 14-to-7 score, Pitt bent Carlisle 45 to 0 and Harvard trimmed
Carlisle 29 to 7. If the comparative bcore dopesters wish to fleuro Penn
State's chnnces from this they have our permission and also our sympathy.
Harry Fryckberg Is Great Loss to Athletic Game
Harry Fryckberg, the Middle Atlantic Association 220-yard low hurdle
ihamplon and ono of the most consistent broad Jumpters in tho East, has
toeen forced to retire from active competition. Fryckberg has been out of
hard training for a long time, as he hns been a sufferer from hernia. Now
ho is being treated, following an appendicitis operation. He has served the
city faithfully as a patrolman. First he was a motorcycle olllcer, but during
tho last year he has been doing duty in the vicinity of 33d and Market
streets. His retirement will leave a gnp hard to fill.
Philadelphia Horses Make Good at Rose Tree Hunt
Philadelphia-owned horses were conspicuous at the Hose Tree Hunt Club's
annual meeting yesterday at Ardmore, and though opposed by the swiftest
animals of the East, local thoroughbreds came through with pleasing 'pre
cision. New York-owned animals always cut well Into the money, but Phila
delphia Is taking her share this time. Saturday tho flnul of tho meet will be
Btaged.
i
White Brothers One a Knock'cmout; Other a Knockmcout
Several years ago the White brothers, Charley and Jack, of Chicago as
featherweights were looked upon as serious contenders for the champion
ship in that claf.s. Both were clever boxers and real aspirants for the title.
Since then Charley has Increased In weight and improved his punch so much
that today he standSvOut as one of tho leading claimants for a crack at Fred
Welsh's title. He has earned for himself the reputation of being tho hardest
hitting lightweight in the world. On the other hand. Jack has lost his old
time skill to such an extent that he refused to get up and fight after George
Chaney landed on his Jaw In Baltimore the other night.
Baseball at Harvard, Yale and Princeton
Just uuw Harvard, Yale and Princeton are demonstrating to the college
world why they aro so uniformly strong on tho baseball field. They are Just
completing a month's fall practice on the diamond, In one Instance, with an
interclass tournament. This they will supplement with Indoor cage work
next February. The preliminary work they use Is to thoroughly test tho
freshmen and to perfect other candidates. When they begin outdoor work
in the spring the coaches will know at once "who's who."
In sharp contrast to the coaching system at these universities is the lack
of 'It at Pennsylvania. The Quakers have no extra diamond where they can
practice in the fall and have no cage where they can work In the winter. In
this way they fail tojget out the real baseball strength of the undergraduate
body. Tho team suffers, consequently, In the spring both in strength and
patronage.
Cross Country Interest Is Lacking
Pennsylvania's track authorities are not finding It an easy matter to
arouse interest In cross-country running, though tho Cross-Country Asso
ciation is trying hard. Tho Quaker team this year Is not strong, and there
Is hardly a chance of winning either the dual meet with Princeton or Cornell
or flnishins very high In the intercollegiate race. Curiously enough, members
of tho team are slight, there being an absence of tho ruggedness that once
characterized the Quaker team.
It's a wonder G. Foster Sanford wouldn't arrange Rutgers football schedule
la advanco of tho season's opening. Within tho last few weeks he has tried
In vain to schedule games with Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh and Washington and
Jefferson.
,
Johnny Campl, Little Italy's featherweight, Is the toughest fighter in Phila
delphia. He absorbs punishment like a spongo does water, yet he comes
back fighting hard nil the time. It is a pity a rugged fellow of Campl'a type
does not learn more of the finer points of the game.
Black and White, cross-country runners representing Gcrmantown High
School, are a braco of athletes who probably will prove themselves to bo
among the leading bill and dalers In local scholastic ranks. White has shown
the least bit more speed than Black In two races to date.
Philadelphia fans who did not go over to little old New York to see
Johnny Dundee and Willie Ritchie in action are anxious to know who won the
tight. Reports sent out greatly differed.
. . .
It Is a mystery Just why Vanderbllt, scorer of 426 points while its opponents
have registered but three first downs from rushing, should be entirely neglected
In speaking of star teams. Evidently It Is the old Camp Idea that they don't
Jaavo football players south of the Mason-Dixon.
Graves Williams. Penn halfback, declares that he did not know he played
Um scond half of the Penn-Pltt game. That is by no means a new sensation
r Penn players of the past, if we can believe the coaches.

DALEY QUITS TO PALMER
Mediocre Show at Hunting Park Ath
letic Club Fails to Attract Crowd
Charlie Daley was not keen for the pun
ishment he was receiving at the hands of
Young Palmer In the final bout at the
Hunting Park Athletic Club last night,
and near the close of the fourth session
he caved In under the shower of blows
that Palmer rained on his body. He
managed to survive the round by holding
and covering, but when the bell sounded
for the beginning of the fifth period he
refused to come from his corner.
Although the boxing game Is yet In its
Infancy In Germantown, the enthusiasts
in that section are evidently wiso In their
experience, for they displayed their appre
ciation of the show which had been ar
ranged by remaining outside of the club.
In fact, the poor attendance necessitated
the semiwlnd-up being called off.
In the preliminary boutB Jimmy Moran
won from Young Oetz; Young Adam
Ryan earned the decision over Joe Bel
mont, while Danny Gorman, of Hazleton,
outfought Steve Murray,

HARRY LEGORE
RETIRED BEFORE
TROUBLE AROSE
Other Yale Players Also
Resigned From Football
Team Without Being
Ousted
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 28. The first
official statement made by tho Harvard
athletic authorities regarding Yale's re
cent dlsqimllfKatlon of Harry Legore, the
football and baseball nlaycr, and of sev
eral members of the university baseball
nine, Is published in today's issue of the
Harvard Alumni Bulletin.
In an Interesting article which praises
Yalo's attitudo of sportsmanship, Dean
Lo Baron B. Brlggs, of Harvard, who is
chairman of tho athletic committee as
well as president of the National Inter
collegiate Athletic Association of Amer
ica, contends that Yale's attitude will
cement the friendships of the universities,
but that, at tho same time. Harvard takes
no satisfaction In her rival's loss of some
sterling athletes.
Paragraph No. I presents a hitherto un
known fact In connection with the case.
Dean Brlggs writes to the Bulletin as
follows:
A few facts about the Yale athletes
who have found themselves disqualified
under tho Yale eligibility rules should be
generally known:
First. Their Ineligibility was reported
by Yale to Princeton and Harvard before
any public announcement.
Second. Neither Princeton nor Harvard
would have protested these players; and,
so far as Prlncetoh and Harvard wero
concerned, Yalo was free to use her own
Judgment.
Third. Though the rules of Yale,
Princeton and Harvard are fundamentally
alike, their likeness Is based on a mutual
understanding and on no intercollegiate
agreement now In force. Examination
i e veals in the three sets of rules con
siderable differences.
Fourth. The five players themselves
withdrew before definite action by the
Yale Athletic Association.
Fifth. Tho Yale Athletic Association in
the persons of its chairman and treasurer
generously took on Itself tho blame for
the unfortunate position of the five
players.

By JOHN ALBERT SCOTT
TUB reason for tho careful placlngTjf
in. hn.i. . em, .i..rihrf. must
an. .. ..u..,o, ,ao .ua.J . ,.!.. .-, ...
now be apparent; It Is to bring the wrist
action Into effect at the right moment
nnd in tho right direction. It will also
be seen why no conscious relaxing of the
grip must take place, as any distinct
letting go with the hands nt the top of
the swing will destroy tho tension so
necessary to start the club traveling on
Its Journey to the ball. If tho grip Is
relaxed, that Is consciously loosened, then
there must be on effort to re-grlp and an
effort to start tho club. Tho hands will
subconsciously, do their work if properly
adjusted In the first place and then nl
lowed to work nnturally. It Is only In di
rection that they must be kept severely
under control. If this ono point Is kept
In mind, that they must be controlled and
kept In tho right track going to the top
of the swlpg and back to the ball In tho
down swing, the other, the muscular ac
tion of the hands, will automatically ad
Just Itself.
It Is Just as the carpenter wields his
hammer, he concentrates on hitting the
nail after taking hold of tho hammer. He
"alms" at the nail, swings tho hammer
up and then swings at the nail, and never
thinks whether his hand Is tight or loo;e,
he simply tries to hit tho nail and tho
tension of the hand is purely automatic.
When swinging at the ball with the
hands and swinging under the head, keep
the point spoken of as "the ball and
socket" Joint tho point at tho spine, mid
way between tho shoulders) In mind. Do
not allow that part of the body to movo.
I have said that, with tho exception
of tho hands, don't try to get any other
part of tho body Into the stroke, that Is,
don't try to consciously get tho shoulders,
body or legs Into It. In fact, they must
not bo allowed to anticipate their nat
ural order of action. If the right
shoulder Is permitted to exert any Influence-
on the beginning of the down
stioke, or to come In too soon (by far
ono of tho most common faults, spoken
of as dropping tho light shoulder), It will
push the "ball and socket" out of posi
tion, and with It will go tho head and
the left shoulder, both being pushed to
tho left; tho pushing of tho head to tho
left will Instinctively cause you to lift
It, you will then look up, nnd tho stroko
will bo a failure.
If tho right shoulder comes Into action
too soon, tho balance of tho body Is dis
turbed, thcro Is an Instinctive, subcon
scious effort to regain tho balance, the
hands will bo thrown out of line, and
tho clubhead will bo dragged Into the
ball, back of tho hands, and tho hands
will fall to perform one of their principal
functions, that of holding tho clubhead
true to Its track and directing tho pow
erful snap of tho wrists which Is caused
by the clubhead traveling In Its orbit
some 40 Inches greater than tho courso
taken by tho hands, catching up with
and passing them when about 18 Inches
from tho ball.
Tho long sweep of the clubhead must
bo under control at all times; It Is the
hands which keep this control, therefore,
nothing must bo allowed to divert them
from their courso. Everything must be
subordinated to the work of the hands,
must be made true assistants to them,
ond each must maintain Its proper placo
and do Its work at the proper time. This
is "timing the stroke," and tho stroke
will bo timed If tho player docs not try
to force It, In a word, press.

NO CHAMPIONSHIP
ON EASTERN
Even if Tigers Beat Yale and Harvard, Cornell, Pitt and
Washington and Jefferson Will Stand Out Too
Strongly to Decide on Best Eleven
By GRANTLAND RICE
Football's Mother Goose
Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son,
Won the game with a long end run;
This it no idle, joshing dream,
But he didn't play on the EH team.
Ilumptu Dumptu played football;
Ilumptv Dumptv had a great fall;
But Ilumptv Dumptv humping the trail
Had nothing on Michigan, Penney dnd
Yale.
THERE Is no part of a chance that any
Eastern football championship -will be
decided this fall. If Princeton comes
through and beats both Yale and Har
vard, there still will be Cornell. And be
yond Cornell there Is still Pittsburgh Uni
versity and W. and J.
Harvard and Yale are already elim
inated from any mythical title. But Har
vard can still take high rank by beating
Princeton. This battle upon Nassau's
emerald sod should be one of the great
football duels of the year, for Princeton
has a regular football machine this fall
and Harvard will be quite a different
Harvard two weeks away from her last
defeat, Any battle that features an All
America n meeting between Mahan and
Tlbbott Is slated for more than Its share
of thrills.
The Western tangle will Tie as keen as
the Eastern one, for M. A. C. will dispute
the main sprig of laurel with the con
ference winner, using Michigan as Ex
hibit A. The time has passed when any
one champion eleven can be picked. The
field Is too thickly studded with good
ones to award the laurel In any one un
divided lump.
"Yale still has a chance to attain the
heights by beating Colgate, Princeton and
Harvard." And we have a chance to at
tain fair literary renown by writing better
verse than Byron and better prose than
