Few Important Games Scheduled for Saturday
flULKitB are few Important battles on the card next Saturday, as Princeton meets
J-Xhteknell. Harvard plays Virginia, Cornell will be rovengod on Carneglo T.ech,
Brawn wilt toy with the University of Vermont, Hutgors mingles .with Holy Cross
M4 Pitt will try out a flock of substitutes against Alleghony. Not one of these
' (Tames Is likely to be Ipst by the big fellows, so where will tbo excitement corns
lot It Is Just a breathing spell before the big stuff Is put on.
, However, the day will not pass without a few thrills, as five combats are
oheduled to make things interesting. Tale will havo her annual fuss with Coi
fate and should win; Dartmouth meets Syracuse In Springfield, Mass., and If the
Green athletes play as well as they did against Princeton another defeat will be
'ehalked up against Hollenback'a crew; Penn should triumph over Lofayotto on
SYanklln Field, but both arms of our well-known service the Army nnd Navy
have selected tough opponents and will havo to play their hardest to win. West
' Point stacks up against Notre Dame, and the, Middles take on Washington and
Lee, one of tho best teams In the South.
o
Colgate Does Not Seem to Bo Dangerous
"tOLdATBl looked like a formidable opponent for' Old Ell early in the season
vJ when the team Journeyed West and walloped Illinois, but tho Westornera
also have been trounced .by Ohio State, which takes some of tho edge oft the
Bssternars" victory. Since that time Colgate has playod only mediocre teams, but
.Tale Is prepared for a hard struggle and Tad Jones has his men in shnpe" for
battle. Syracuse exploded llko a leaky balloon two weeks ago and Dartmouth has
Mule to fear unfess the best men are kept out of tho frame through Injuries.
.Brown, regarded as. the best team In the East this year, will experience little
, eHffleulty in ruining Vermont. As for Pitt and Allegheny it should be a terrible
. slaughter.
The miserable showing of Cornell against Harvard still la the chief topic
of conversation among tho followers of football and it is attributed to two things:
, the unexpected strength of the Crimson and the glaring errors committed by the
,Big Red Team. -The strengthmore than offset the errors, howevor, and that
, probably- is the real reason for the defeat. Harvard was too good for Cornell last
Saturday and that's alt there was to It Haughton had his team in top form and
any team in the coutitry would have been up ngalmt a tough battle. However, the
eosvehes at Ithaca do hot believe that tho one-stdad score at Cambridge Is a full
.measure'' DC Cornell's strength. They point out that the eleven has been handl-
sapped through tho late starting of practice and the extremely easy games which
preceded the Harvard disaster. In the next two weeks, lrapes aro entertained of
T setting together a powerful cloven to go against Michigan, and from then on tho
Cata Is 'bound to improve, for tho Penn gome on Thanksgiving Day.
,7 TOUT, most likely will be at the h,elm of tho,. Cleveland .Indians when
X-l the 3917 season gets under way. Dally, a new manager, has' been selected
to lead the Cleveland team next season, but according to a recent dispatch from
Indian headquarter Fobl will be. In churge again. President Dunn has not made
any definite announcement, but he has Indicated that none other than tho former
pitching coach will be in charge. Trls Speaker was named as a possibility to suc
ceed Fohl. but the great outfielder soon spiked that report when he said ho was
satisfied to be a-player and not Invito more trouble by attempting to assume tho
resp'onslbllfty of directing J.hevteam.
It Is all wrong. The chief booster ofQrgan!red Ball admits It The rumor
feat several, magnates Intend to ry to oust President Tener is fiction; the latter s
tee best leader the senior league ever has had; the world's series was a howling sue-
'sees (accent on the howling); and the National Commission ts perfect, with harmony
prevailing. Now that all of this is admitted by tho C. B. of'o. B.. why hold tho
, December meetings?
"President FullA of the Players' Fraternity, is again at odds with the National
Commission and National Association of Minor Leagues. Fultz claims that the
Magnates are not keeping faith with the players, his main objection being that
many dubs have suspended players without pay because they wero Injured while
n the field of play. The Players' Fraternity probably will make many more pro
Wets before the winter is over, f the wishes, of certain magnates are carried out
taring the December meetings.
That a boxing commission benefits a boxer as well and as squarely as a pro
tec Is proved by the decision of the New York body relativo to tho off-ajraln.
n-acaln, off-agaln Charley WelnortBob Mohr match in Ootham. Tho commlsh
banded down a verdict yesterday thai the Show Corporation, conducting boxing
bouts at the Madison Square fJarden, must stage the heavyweight match boforo

osntmeted guarantees.
The eoatest originally was scheduled about a month ago and after each boxer
had pat J two weeks', raining, expenses for which, of course, are not gratis, tho

Had there, been any misunderstanding between the boxers from a flnnnnlM

FORMER CHAMPION
JOCKEYED OUT OF
EMPLOYES' TITLE
Joe Woertz Steam-Rollercd

WAS PLAYING FINE GOLF
By SANDY McNIBLICK
Ex-champlon Joe Wotrtx. who won last
ing famo'two years ago by bursting out
In front of the field and winning the em
ployes' championship of the Huntingdon
Valley Country Club over a nlne-hote route,
when his handicap was only seventy-five
strokes, ts automatically out of the title
play this year.
Ills aspirations were squelched at one
fell stroke of the pen, when he was placed
In Class D Instead of Class A. Lt year
Woeru was runner-up In the beaten twos of
tho championship division. He braced his
ittt against the avalanche that bore him
down, but could not stop "" J"Kj
to the bottom. He made a Rigorous speech
and then, cooling off. cann U' ndhJ "J
winked his eye with the thought, Walt till

Not Even Asked
Van you beat that?" asked Woertx, who
1. superintendent of the back door and head
hallmaiu "I've nexer played such good
golf as I'm Playing right now. "said WoerU
today, "and hero I ain't got even a show
for the championship. They got me down
to twenty strokes handicap for nine holes,
but I'm going out there and show em.
Just watch me clean lip Class D.
And the wink ho bestowed on the garn
ering was reminiscent of last year.
The former champion put up a doughty
fight but was slammed out of the running
In his first match on the last of the nine
hole round yesterday by IMward Samon.
a waiter, after a game fight against defeat.
But Woerti wasn't discouraged today.
"Daggonlt" said the head hallman, with
tho spirit that never says die. "just watch
me clean up that beaten eight bunch. Fate
was agin jne yesterday. I ain't got any
excuses to offer. If 1 had played my regu
lar gamo thero wouldn't have been nothing
to it . A
"Hut here's a funny thing. Do you mind
how foggy it was' yesterday?. '
was going fine for two holes, which I lost
just because I couldn't putt, but coming
to the third hole whero a lot of the fog
was, fcll of a sudden I seen a ghost slide
right across the course. It was flying like
a big pigeon or something. Tho caddy said
It was a rooster, but you can't fool me. I
was all shaky-like In theknees after that, so
how could I hit 'em? One reason I was
beaten was that I lost me bulldog club, so
how could I get 'cm ,out of the bunkers?"
"Sure, how could you?" volunteered some
jne after a Bllence.
Caddy Too Good
Woertz blamed It partly on his caddy,
who he said, was too good. Tho ex-champlon
was a little rattled by his expert bag
carrier.
Woertx made a great Jump from his last
year's total In the qualifying round when
he shot the nine holes this year In only
seventy-six strokes.
Two years ago such a score would have
given him a net card of one stroke. Last
year he played In the elghteen-hole round
and broke the course record by making It in
250-odd strokes. The exact count has
been lost
Charles Mohle. tho head waiter at, the
Noble Club, had' a good chance to equal
this mark this year In the qualifying round,
when he turned 9 holes In 127 strokes.
Ills card follows:
Out.... 17 10 10 15 IS 11 15 17 11127
Ills card was run a frantic second by
the cook, Alex Wain, who tore off his
uhlto apron, pushed his chefs bonnet Into
his hip pocket and went after the golf
ball with all the enthusiasm he puts Into
tho concocting of a tureen of soup.
The Cussed Creek
Wain looked like a world-beater when
he hung up a par 4 on the first hole, but
after that he went slightly wabbly, as his
card for the 9 holes will show;
Out.... 4 8 3 8 10 10 16 11 10121
Ills 34 on the third hole will surely stand
the assaults of time. ,
"I couldn't get across the creek," sighed
the cook. "Every time I hit the ball It
went In tho water. When I did get across
the ball hit the tree and came right back
to mo."
Tho best ball of the second flight Is a
thing of beauty.
It follows:
Out.. 17 10 14 18 12 11 18 17 12144
George Felter. one-armed srroundsman.
did very well. He had a net score of 62
strokes for the nine holes, which was only
eight strokes over the real best ball of the
second flight

Each creept on( from hit choeen lair
Wff Jiead erect, In kingly pride,
And then o that rlrtpj on the air
At Haughton bags another hide, ,
l'ear after year the Blue guard eulngt
Acrota the field to the attack;
Year after year the war cry rlnge
Above the Orange and the Black;
Alatl It l a cruel world,
A bitter ono and unrefinedt
For each finds when the charge It hurled
That Haughton hat the highway mined.
Wakeful Watchlnjr
TIIi:SC are serious and thoughtful days
upon th campuses that surround Prince
ton and Yale.
For some time the rumor has been preva
lent that Haughtoirand Harvard this sea
son were In tho blighting throes of an off
year, with no great hopes of emerging this
placid autumn. ,
Dut It appears, according to the testi
mony offered from Ithaca, that the rumor
grossly was exaggerated.
If Harvard Is Indulging In an "off-year."
the word "off" doesn't mean what Cornell
thinks It does.
Bo It happens In the wake of this Cor
nell affair both Princeton and Yale are
taking very little stock In the alleged
Crimson slump. In place of looking for
fairly easy picking, they are beginning
to wonder If thero Is any chance at all of
getting safely by.
One of the Best
There Is very llttlo doubt now that
Haughton, within another two weeks, will
havo a' machine about ns powerful as any
ho has sent to battle. He hasn't a great
By GRANTLAND BIOE
line, but he has a good one, ana witn iiod
Inson, Casey, Horween, IJond, Flower and
Hitchcock he hs a rare wealth of backfleld
material to carry on a hardy and prolonged
attack Haughton has better backfleld mate
rial than Princeton, beyond a debate, and
a greater quantity than Yale, despite the
jvorth of Le Core With a capable quarter
of ltobinson's caliber, with a punter like
Horwech, n broken field runner of Casey's
ability and two men to help such as Dond
and Flower are, P D. has the ammunition
for a smnshlng and versatile assault
He has the advantage over Princeton In
the running gams and the advantage over
Yale In the kicking game; an advantage
that will be vital unless these two come
forward at Imposing Jumps in the brief
space that still Is left
Princeton's Chance N
Princeton has a good line and a fine
punter In Drlggs. Dut Itush can't put driv
ing power Into backs unless the driving
power Is there And no coach Is enough of
a genius to build up a formidable attack
unless his backfleld has the punch.
The difference between the drive In
Princeton's and Dartmouth's backfleld was
very great
A Gerrlsh or a Thlelscher would be as
welcome In Nassau town as the electoral
votes of New York, Ohio and Illinois would
be to Hughes or Wilson.
Pittsburgh Again ,
It Is now what some original cuss has
labeled "a foregone conclusion" that Pitts
burgh University again will be In a position
to claim a share In the football champion
ship spoils.
'Pitt Isn't going to be beaten this season,
for the simple reason that no one has the
stuff to beat her with.
As to whether Pitt is champion of the
Tast or West we leave for the geographical
experts to decide.
Wo put the query up to a ntt man, and
his answer was prompt: "Both."
Keeping a Haughtontzea Baseball team
out of the pennant Is one Job. Keeping a
Haughtonlzed football team away from the
top Is another assignment
