R&TOOTBATT MAP HAS
,' - -
TO WEST FRONT, WHERE STRONGEST
GRIDIRON ELEVENS ARE STATIONED
, The Withdrawal of Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton Makes Eastern Front Bleak and Barren.
Cornell-Colgate, Pitt-Syracuse Games
"COR the first time in tho history of tho sport, tho football map has been
shifted to tt-o western front, where tho strongest elevens are stationed. The
eastern front Is bleak, barren nnd deserted because of the withdrawal of Ynlc,
Harvard and Princeton, and although sonic of the more patriotic thoiiKli smnller
colleges are strlvlnn vainly to lteep thq game alive, their efforts will no help to
restore the prratlgo to Hint hcctlon. It seems strango that the "HIk Three"
should drop the gridiron sport becnusa of tho war and the Army and Navy
academies at West Point and Annapolis nro playing out their schedules. Perhaps
the .future- generals nnd admirals Hre willing to take a chnnco and rlt.lt defeat
occasionally In order to' provldo sonio diversion for the cadets and middles. It
also 13 strungo that the various army camps, naval stations nnd marine barracks
throughout tho country aio playing the game, while the Big Three are Inactlxo
eavo for freshman football. Thus the old-time favorites nro erased this yenr and
teams like Pittsburgh, Cornell, State. Washington and Jefferson. West Virginia.
Dartmouth, Lafayette, I.ehlgli and l'cnn uro left to shoulder tho burden and
assumo the leadership.
In tho western part of Pennsylvania are four teams which appear to be the
strongest In tho country. They are tho University of Pittsburgh, laM year's cham
pions; Washington and Jefferson, which is coached by Sol Mctzgpr; State College
Und tho University of West Virginia. To date theso elevens luivo played the
best football and should continue throughout tho season. 1'enn has been defeated
by Georgia Tech, Cornell has met with two reverses nnd Dartmouth will face a
hard proposition today when tho team stacks tip against West Virginia. Ponn
plays both Pitt and Dartmouth and wo will have an opportunity to compare tho
strength of tho local team with tho others.
THH gamo between Pitt and Penn next Saturdo should be one of the
most important of the year. Glenn Warner has worked hard with his
players and they are loundlng Into form. The noted coach misses his
backfleld and tho stur linemen who left collegp tn Join the colors, but tho
substitutes have absorbed the Warner system and nre ready for battlo.
Penn Should Not Fear Buckncll
PENN plays Bucknelt today, but tho Ked and Blue need have no fear of defeat.
The Lewlsburg eleven will put up u good practice game, but that Is nil. Pitts
burgh meets Syracuto in Pittsburgh nnd this should he well worth seeing. The
husky New Yorkers are said to be very strong this year nnd anxious to wipe out
the crushing defeat ndmlnlsteied Just one year ago. It will be remembeied that
Pitt went up to Syracuse tn take u beating and turned the tables. Hollenback
had a line that looked like a gang of piano movers on nu off day, but they were
Just as speedy as a flock of blacksmiths. Pitt sent plays through Babo Whlto
and Schlachtor until the backfleld men grew weary, and at the end thirty-one
points had been scored. This trimming has rankled in tho breasts of the Syrncuso
athletes und they aro out for revengo todn. Pitt, however, has a good team
and according to form should come close to winning,
j That 4I-to-0 victory scored over Lehigh last Saturday has given Pitt addi
tional courage, for Tom Keady has a pretty good team this year. It proved that
Warner has a brilliant offense, as of yure, and the defense also Is good. It also
brought out another star, who is expected to tear off a few runs llko Jimmy
Ie Uart and Red Hastings. Tho new person Is Koxy Miller, the quarterback,
who started tho Lehigh game by dashing 92 yards through a broken field for a
touchdown.
This Is Miller's third year on the team, and. every season he tears off a sensa
tional sprint against some team. Three yeais ago ho caught the ball In the
shadow of his goal posts and romped across the grldlrdn for a score. Last year
in tho game ngnlnht Carnegie Tech he picked up a fumble on his own 10-ynid
lino and ran for a touchdown, witli the opponents stringing along in his wake.
Miller was Injured two years ugo and was out of the game, but he now Is a regular
and will be,Iooked upon to pull some bensutiomil stuff.
The battle between Washington and Jefferson nnd State, at Washington, Pa.,
will bo hard fought, with the advantage on neither side. The teams aro evenly
matched and some good football should result. West Virginia should win from
Dartmouth if tho teams play up to form.
CORNELL faces a hard foe .11 Colgate today. The Ithacans can practice
only threo days a week, but they nie carrying out their' schedule
without a whimper and are trying hard all cf tho time. This is the
proper spirit.
Schoolboy Makes Forward Pass From 35-Yard Line at Haverford
TTAVERFORD SCHOOL Is repiesented by 11 good football team this year and
J-J- should havo a very successful season. Tho boys know modern football nnd
use It In the games, which is unusual for schoolboys. Yesterday against Southern
High they pulled one of the most sensational forward passes we have ever seen
on any football field, and got away with it for a touchdown. It was a weird,
strange and unusual play, and had tho spectators fooled as well as the opponents.
It was near the end of the gamo und the ball was on Southern's 25-yard line in
Haverford's possession. A signal was given and Cairns, a halfback, received tho
ball and started out as if on an end run. His Interference was ahead of him and
tho other team went In to stop the play. Calms ran back and, as he nenred tho
side line, hurled tho ball acro.is tho goal line while on the dead run. It looked like
a crazy play, but in the meantime the quarterback had wriggled through the lino
and was standing all alone near the goal posts. The pigskin sailed straight Into
Ills arms and all ho had to do was to fall over to mM' n. touchdown.
It was Cairns who made the play possible, for he executed the pass beautifully
while going at full Bpeed. Thero nre few football players oven In the colleges
who can do this, but it's a cinch that they will try It before the season Is over.
The play is too good to keep and should be worked out by some of the larger
teams. It was Invented by Willie Crowell, the former Lafayette coach, who is
assisting at Haverford this year. Crowell found it Impossible to leave his Insur
ance business in Philadelphia this fall to go out of town to coach, but is keeping
his hand in the game by lending some aid to Resident Coach A. W. Palmer. Ho
has a bewildering forward pass attack which he Is teaching the Haverford boys,
and by the time tho big games roll around wo will see some new stuff.
Southern played a plucky game yesterday, but showed a lack of practice.
Tho Interference was loose and the tackling poor. Captain Bunnin was tho bright
shining star, making several sensational runs and directing tho team in great
style. Bill Hamilton, who says his name Is William, played a good game at full
back and backed up the line better than any schoolboy playing today. Bill Is a
little rough in spots, hi should develop into a scholastic star before the season
ends.
THERE Is a rule In tho book this year which should be studied care
fully. It says that a substitute coming Into the game shall not com
municate with any of his players until after one play has been run off.
This rule probably deprived Southern of a score, for when young Goldblatt
came into tho game In the third period he wanted to cheer up his com
panions. "Play any old thing at all," he shouted, and that resulted In a
15-yard penalty when the team was going good. Tho best thing to do Is
to keep quiet for one play and then talk your head off. Other pluyers
should profit by Uoldblatt'a mistake.
Donaghy Ignored Signs, Scorned Hoodoo and Came to Grief
RACETRACK followers are a sensitive, superstitious lot and bellcvo In ull
signs painted and unpalnted. Harry Donaghy, of Philadelphia, is one of
these, but occasionally ho crosses the dope and plays a Joke on himself, Just to
prove that he cares nothing for outside influences.
Last Thursday Harry made a speech before boarding the train for Laurel to
eeo the race between Omar Khayyam and Hourless. "I am going to bet on Omar,"
lie orated, "no matter what happens or what insldo dope I receive. My mind Is
made up, I won't even change It for 11 hunch,"
While he was looking for a seat a crjsseyed man approached him and mis
took him for a friend of his. Harry gritted his teeth and said:
"That's bad luck. That guy had no right to stop me and talk. I don't care
though, my bet on Omar still goes."
Ho stumbled over an umbrella which partly opened as It fell. "More hard

Klnllntr. nnd lost we forget, thero will bo a
big thlrty-slx-hole exhibition match of golf
at Huntingdon Valley tomorrow for the
benefit of the soldiers

Barnes, the Cornlsh
inan, and Davie
Cuthbert. the man
from St Andrews,
will be paired
against Eddie Loos
and Charllo Hoffner,
two of our best home
breds. Enough said.

begins at 10 o'clock
and the afternoon ai

ilton calls them. Hero Is an opportunity
to aid these fellows, many of whom are
Philadelphia golfers, for more than 1000
members of our local golf clubs are In the
service.
Miss Mildred Caverly has not been play
ing very ges- golf for wme time. She
said so herself at tho Whitemarsh Valley
Country Club last Sunday. Yet, after
watching Barnes, Loos, Buxton and Max
well play that never-to-be-forgotten forty-two-hole
match she went out tho next day
and made the lowest score ever registered
by a woman plajer at the Philadelphia
Cricket Club.
You havo always marveled at tho dif
ference between professional and amateur
golf. It Is not all In the drive. Of course
these long drives help a lot, but one of tho
best things about a professional's play is
the way he lays his approach shots dead to
the pin. Run out to Huntingdon Valley
and see how these four expert do It.
Barnes in His Own Great Class
Wo all know that Barnes Is the western and
Philadelphia open champion ; that he won the
professional championship last year ; that he
made the lowest
score last year that
had ever been made
up to that time, and
that he in the recent
Western open regis
tered the lowest total
ever made In this
country. We know
htm as one of the
longest of drivers
and one of the best n"l
wlelders of tho Iron. I
We nre aware that t ' V
Loos this ear In s ,

that there was noth

Davy has the real Scotch burr when he

Hazards Aplenty nt the Valley
Inasmuch as there am twenty-odd water
hazards to be carried ltlier on the drive or
approach, it is not very hard to botch up n
hole at Huntingdon
Valley. For this
reason, particularly
on the approach
Bhots, it takes well
judged shots If tho
golfer expects to
keep h 1 s scores
down. There Is
only one brook at
the Valley, but it
seems to wander
all over the course.
For those who
would go by motor,
the best way Is out
the Old York road.
There are only two
tolls to pay for a
total of ten cents
For those who pre
fer fbo trains, the
schedule for Sun-

day follows: 8:17. 0:17. 12:17, 1:17 and 3.
The first two trains will bring the spectators
to tho club In plenty of time to see the be

afternoon trains will be in time to see the
afternoon round begin. Those who come on
the 3 o'clock train bhould ride to Rydal,
where they will find the fourth and ninth

For those who aro near enough to go by

the winner.
But In the case of the American against
the National the records sliow tho latter
has won but one championship slnco 1009
one victory out of eight starts.
This, at least, Is a depressing recount
for the older circuit. The facts aro that
while no ono can provo which league Is
superior, there Is no denying the fact that
the American has the greater number of
stars. What men, for example, has tho
National to put against Cobb, Speaker, Col

Cobb and Speaker are tho two most val

most valuable second baseman over known.
There aro no men In the National to stand

Welterweights Clash in Star
and Important Bout at
National Tonight
VICTOR MAY BOX CHAMP
Both Johnny Tillman and Eddie McAn
drews have reported in perfect fettle for
their six-round bout at the National A. C.
tonight. This contest has attracted great
Interest In Philadelphia fistic circles, Inas
much as a contest with Lightweight Cham
pion Benny Leonard may result for the
victor. Each has boxed the New York
phenom and has been hot on his trial for
several months.
While tho bout was clinched nt catch
weights, neither will have any advantage In
weight. They are welterweights and will
step Into the ring weighing In close to the
142-pound mark. However, If cither Is to
get a match with Leonard the bout will
have to be at 139 pounds at 9 o'clock, the
samo weight that ruled last night's contest
between Jack Brltton and Leonard in New
Yorlc.
Mlke Ertel, of St. Paul, will appear In
the semifinal. His opponent will be Muckel
Riley, of Smoky Hollow. Al Wagner Is
matched with Young Lawrence.

WIN FOR KRAMER
OVER JOE B0RRELE
Middleweights Engage in Slash
ing Bout Milwaukee Boxer
Finishes Strong
The Cambria Athletic Club last night was
the scene of a slashing hard battle be
tween Joe Borrell and Billy Kramer, of
Milwaukee. Kramer and Borrell swept
around the ring like a couple of miniature
gunboats In full action, throwing broadside
after broadside of wallops into each other.
Throughout the greater part of the con
flict It was so evenly waged that the de
cision hung In the balance until near the
finish. Kramer put over a flock of hefty
punches In the fifth and went Into the lead,
holding his advantage until the finish.
A world of blows was struck by each of
the husky middleweights. Borrell, who is
now tn the navy, and who expects to get
Into active service, was putting on his last
bout here until after the war, and he gave
the fans everything he had in stock.
Borrell left-hooked repeatedly to Kra
mer's head In the first four frames. His
blows caused several lulls In Kramers at
tack, but the westerner always came back
with renewed vim. Kramer switched lefts
and rights to the body and head, and held
Borrell to an even break ,in the early ses
sions. Kid Sheeler won from Ralph Erne in the
semlwindup. Kid Brown stopped Johnny
Walters In the third. Billy Billlngton and
Tommy Golden boxed a draw. Eddie Wood
knocked out'Frnnkle Brennan. "
