tOLLENBACK WILL' AID PENN
WHEN SYRACUSE MEETS PITT
"ON GRIDIRON NEXT SATURDAY
Both Teams Will Feel Effects of Hard Battle, and
Warner's Men May Not Be in Shape for
Red a,nd Blue Combat on October 28
ii , . i
BltL HOLt.KNHACK and his mastodontlc eleven from Byracuse now occupy
Ires spotfUrM In the football world. For two weeks the Ran of gridiron wnr
tuh hss ben rulntng all opposition, running up trcmonJoiis scores ami treating
ti fwe In thai klnd-and gentle manner that mode dcnernl Villa famous. In
ther1 words, the opposing players were lucky to got out nlle, for thoy were out
classed from the start. In the first gamo ngalnst Ohio University not Ohio Btnte,
as was first supposed Syracuse won by tho close score of 75 to 0. I-nat gatur
41 franklin and Marshall wandered Into the town tip In New York State and
flnlshW only 6& polnln behind. Next Saturday Hollenbnck'A huskies will clash
with the University of Pittsburgh, nnd If we are not mistaken one of the greafbst
Humes In the history -of football wilt be plaed. Therefore, 1-argc William takes
lils bow beforo the public
it Isahl by football officials nnd Innocent spectators who witnessed Syrncuso
In action that the team looks like the reception committee of the piano movers
union when It takes tho field. Qaptaln Habe White, with his six feet six Indies of
bone and muscle, towers above the others, who range from a paltry six test to kIx
fcet;fow Indies In height, Tho weights, run up to only 276 pounds nnd tho center
trfs averages HO. Newberry, the speedy halfback, tips thn beam nt only :00,
but herobabljr will put on weight before the Season Is over. In nil. It is n tor.
rib)'-gang of dreadnoughts, ami unless something happens, like runnliiR Into n
wreck 'or omethIng,,.the futuro opponents will hae that same calm, renttul feel
ins before entering tho game as a guy about to walk the plank.
Dig UII1 Unconsciously Aids 1'cnn
NOW1 wo must draff in Mr, Uollenbuck once more, mil, you know, Is a loyul
Pennsylvania)!, o. great pal of Hob Kohvell's, nnd last winter ran second In
the race for head coach of the Itcd nml lllne. Kolwelt was appointed, but Hill
was hot annoyed. He Just turned around and got himself another Job, which looks
to be, the; best after alt. He fa re ho loft for Hracuso, however, HollenlmcU told
I-'olwell that he would do everything In his power to help his Alma Mater on the
football field, ml his chance has come, unsolicited. It l Just a strungo twist of
fateand now Hill unconsciously will deliver the goods. Tnl.e a look nt the dope:
Next Saturday' Syracuse plays Pittsburgh nnd n hard Rame'Ui looked for.
No matter how this battle turns out, both Pitt and Syracuse will know that they
have been In a football name, and tho chances arc that the playcis on both sides
will be Used up and feel the .effects of a severe combat. Thin Is to be expected,
but the aftermath brings In Hob Kolwell and the Itcd and lllue. You know Penn
plays Pitt on the following Saturday, nnd If Glenn Warner's men go through n
atrermous. session they might not be so good In tho came on October 28,
Neither Side Will Ureal; the Itules
THIS does not mean that Syracuse wlil deliberately try to Injure ths Pitt tilavers.
In the first place, neither team plays that kind of football; nnd In the second
place, the officials would not let them get away with It, Syincuso will play hard,
Aggressive football, however, nnd Pitt will do the samo. Then the teams which
appear on the schedules will leap tho benefits If any on the following Saturday.
There Is no doubt that Syracuse will help Penn considerably next Saturday,
and would do so whether Hollenbnrk were coaching or not. Uut 13111 has stepped
tn and might as well get all that Is coming to him,
Then, on November 4, Syracuse will put on a battlo with Dartmouth nt Spring
field, Mass. This, too, will be a rip snorter between two husky teams, and again
Tooth elevens will feel the effects of a hard game. Penn will profit from this battle,
oh she meets Dartmouth on tho following Saturday, November l,1rand will havo
the edge. Thus Dig Hill assumes the role bf Oood Samaritan for the lied nnd
Blu,e and gets the Job without n slnglo rehearsal. He will help Penn only ho
won't know It,
Magnates Trying to Shift Dlan Upon Players
EVIDENTLY there has been somo sort of a.conference between a number of base
ball magnates, ns alt the stories sent out from New York, Boston, Chicago and
St. Louis (cities with two major league teams) Interviewing a "certain magnate"
appear to coincide, but they do not ring as truo as Han Johnson's sensational
announcement that ho intended to clean house and would not consent to another
, world's series Under tho conditions that existed this fall.
The magnates appear to have changed their tune and now declare that tho
greediness of the players has caused all their trouble. They blame the players
forthe Increased prices and other methods of squeezing the public; Thoy nssert
that during the war with the Federal League the players held 'them tip ror sucn
largo salaries that It became necessary to raise the prices to break even and they
favor cutting the salaries all around "in order to glvo tho fans n "bquaro deal."
This nit sounds very good, but now Ran Johnson comes along with a state
ment that every club In the American League made money, nnd plenty of It,
excepting the Athletics, whereas "the certain magnates" have been quoted to the
effect thnt the majority of major league teams lost money. According to this we
jWUKt believe that all but one of tho National League teams lost money. If Johnson's
statement that seven American League clubs made money, Is coi rect.
It looks very much like the ancient pastime of "passing the buck," with the
magnates trying to shift the blamo upon" the playerx for their own mistakes. The
players were not responsible for tho baseball war and) should not bo blamed because
they took advantage of an opportunity to better their conditions. There were
' many who made the dollar mark their Idol, and wo hope they are tho ones to
suffer; but the Magnates have no one to blame but themselves, and the wall about
losing mpjiey does not ring true In view of the fact that both ruces were so close
that four cities In each league drew well enough ut nil times to protect tho clubs
that would have lost money under ordinary conditions.
One baseball magnate says that he favors cutting the ptlcos or the world's
series tickets, but that ho regrets that the players' receipts will be cut down so
much. As a, general thing when players win a pennant for a magnate they draw
enormous crowds and enrich the club to such an extent that wo suould'thlnlc that
the magnates could well afford to sacrifice their share, while we never could see
why the National Commission should take such a large rake-off.

Pitt surely had a .narrow escape at ths hands of the Navy, and It looks very
aaueh as If Warner's powerful team Is not In the same form as at this time a year
ao. It la possible, however, that Warner is not uncovering his play as early as
ks MA' In 1818, and has unpleasant surprises stored up for Syracuse and Penn.
allowing for Pitt covering up Its play, the Midshipmen proved beyond
that they have one of the strongest teams that has represented the Naval
In years.

HARRY LE GORE LOOKS LIKE
BEST ALL-AROUND BACKPIELD
PLAYER ON EASTERN GRIDIRON
Surrounded by Strong Supporting Cast, Yale Sen
sation Should Supplant Mahan and Barrett
in Football Circles This Season
By GKANTLANl) ItlCE
Soon there comes a deadly quiet
To the campus, dull and ifrcori
Ended then the rnucous riot
OJ the frcmlctl collepe cheert
Hut a brooding pall will hover
And the laurel turn tn moss,
lV'Acn the hatback tackles Horace
And l.i thrown back or a lots.
.Vow the ullback rushes gaylu
Through the dated opposing team
And he gains his distance ilnttg
As he dashes under stramt
Hut he shudders at the future,
With his system all a-wreck.
Where the festive elder J'llng
Does a cnr dance on his neck.
Where the quarterback now .dashes
Through the thickest of the my, i
1'ou man shudder at the clashes
Of the Joemen tn the fravt
Though iou think tho game is brutal,
As a pastime It will pall
To the agony that follows
When Catullus takes the ball.
The All-Star Bnck'
WITH the passing In turn of Thorpe,
Urlckley, Hardwlck, Mahan and Bar
rett, the best all-around backfleld star of
the Eastern rpan this season looks to be
Harry Lo Ooro. of Yale.
Lo Ooro sljould reach great heights this
season. He not only has fine speed nnd
great power, but also most of the tricks of 1
the uacuneld trade.. Vew can uso the
straight-arm with more telling effect, and
when this play Isn't In order his side-step-ping,
dodging qualities will meet the 'occa
sion. Le flore net or has had the team before to
show anywhere near his top form Mahan,
on a weak eleien, Mould havo been good,
but hardly great. A back may bo as fleet
and swift jib tho autumn ulnd, but If he
Is nailed before be starts his speed goes
for nothing
T.e aore has a far better team around
him than he had two years ago j nnd before
