Swarthmore-Haverf ord and Lehigh-Lafayette An nual Struggles Will Occupy Spotlight, With Gar net and South Bethlehemites the Favorites THE so-called "little-" colleges will eclcbrnto next Saturday afternoon on tho football field, whllo tho other elevens take things easy for tho Thanksgiving Day sanies, l'enn will romp nil over Carlisle, l'ltt and Stato aro resting up, Cornell has an off day and others havo finished their schedules for tho year.

V.o. Theso uro tho alleged "big" battles on tho card, but they aro not big enough to competo with tho other attractions. A gamo which always Is Important and hard fought will bo staged In South Bethlehem when Lehigh meets Laf-iyetto. Past performances nro forgotten when theso rivals meet and tho grandoldopo has a habit of reversing Itself. This year a glance at tho records will show that tho llistonlans havo staggered through tho season with three victories and four defeats to their credit. They walloped tho Usaacs early In tho season and followed with a 12-to-C victory over Ursinus. Rutgers, Muhlenberg, l'enn and Swarthmoro then protcedtd to grab tomo victories, but last Saturday tho team camo back and smeared Albright by the score of 42 to 0. This record Is not an impressive one, but when everything is considered Lafayette has not done so poorly. Uerryman, tho new coach, had a bunch of green men to develop and his tusk has been a hard one. It is almost Impossible to get u new team running smoothly tho ilrst ear, as Doctor Sharpo discovered at Cornell. However, It is safe to bay that Lafayette will bo primed for a hard battle and play better on Saturday than at any other time this year. Lehigh, too. has had tomo tough luck, but of l.ito tho team seems to have found Itself. After losing to Pitt by tho score of 41 to 0 and taking tho short end of a 17-to-G scoro with Georgetown, Coach Tom Keady doggedly started In lo rebuild the eleven and surely has accomplished wonders. Ho .surprised tho foot ball world when Muhlenberg was defeated 47 to 0 and repeated on tho following Saturday by beating Stato by tho count of 9 to 0. Lehigh Is in good shape and expects to win. Bl )UT you never can tell what will happen In football. Penn won from Michigan, which was contrary to tho done, and other upsets hao occurred in the past.. On paper, Lehigh looks llko an easy winner, but It will bo remembered that in 1915 conditions wcro almost Identical. Lehigh had a good team, Lafayetto was very weak, but in tho final gamo tho Eastonians got themselves together and played Kcady'a men off their feet. Lafayette won that gamo by the scoro of 33 to 0. This may happen again. Swarthmore and Haverford Will Fight It Out at Swarthmorc TU13 rhal Quaker colleges, Swartlunore and Haverford, will play their annual game on Whlttler l'leld, Swarthmoro. This battlo always Is hard fought, re gardless of tho strength of tho teams. Tho Garnet bcems to havo the better team, but, as was said before. It Is lmposslblo to dope a football gamo In advance. Mlko Bennett Is a very wise coach, knows football nnd always turns out a brainy team. Ho has been working for tho Swarthmoro gamo all season and hl3 men will bo "right" when the whistle blows. Tho war almost wrecked the Haverford team und Dennett was forced to start all over again. He has won oidy one gamo this year. But that doesn't affect tho players; they want to win from Swarth moro and everything elso will bo forgotten. Swarthmore, on the other hand, has had a successful season. Tho first twp Karnes resulted In defeats, both Bucknell and l'enn taking tho honors. Afti that, however, Coach Hoy Mercer got his men together, and from then on tho other teams havo been vanquished. Gettysburg, Kranklln and Marshall, Johns Hopkins, Lafayetto and Delaware were taken Into camp, and thus far the team has scored 181 points to 33 against It. Tho biggest scoro of tho year, CO points, was run up against Lafayette, and this also Is tho worst defeat administered to the Eastonians since tho schools have been playing football together. Swarthmore men expect to run up an overwhelming score next Saturday, but they will havo Ihclr troubles. No matter how strong Swarthmoro is or how weak Haverford appears to be, the gamo always Is hard fought from sfart to finish. In the past when tho Garnet had big teams and stood in tho front rank, the Main Liners never failed to make things interesting. Tho gamo Saturday is tho fourth since relations havo been resumed and will put one team or tho other In the lead. One came resulted In a tie and each college lias won one. fTUIERlO Is an undefeated team in our midst which apparently has been -- overlooked. Dickinson has romped through tho season without a blemish and will try to keep tho lecord clean by trimming Bucknell. This game has attracted wide Interest up the Stato and should bo well worth seeing. Penn Will Plau No Post-Season Games This Year ITIHEttE wa3 a rumor iioatiug around town jestcrday that l'enn was about to cancel the gamo with Carlisle Saturday and take on Georgia Tech. Some of the New York papers boosted the contest, but when the Bed and Blue authorities wero seen it was discovered that there was nothing doing. Penn will play out her schedule and end with the Cornell gamo on Thanksgiving Day. This la a wise move, although a battle with Tech would be very Interesting. That 41-to-0 defeat made l'enn look very sad early in tho season and led the wise ones to believe that Polwell would havo a disastrous year. However, the team surprised every one and now la considered one of tho best In tho country. The southerners would have a hard time duplicating the first scoro and perhaps experience some difficulty In winning. A huge crowd would witness tho game, and If tho Red Cross or any other war charity were benefited the revenue would be large. Every one is anxious to see Georgia Tech In action and Franklin Field would not be large enough to hold tho throng. Tho game with Carlisle will bo interesting, however, as Penn will try to beat Tech's score. Last Saturday the Georgians walloped the Redskins 93 to 0, and if Penn can beat that score there should be sorao exciting times across the river. Southerners Gaining Recognition on Gridiron GEORGIA TECH has kept the South In the football limelight this season, the Atlantans mowing down opposition with ease and running second for high total scoring this fall. The South never has been given any recognition in foot ball, even In tho days when Vanderbllt was running away with the best teams below the Mason and Dixon line. There is no doubt as to the quality of football now being played by tho boys down South. Northern coaches have been down there long enough to teach them the style of football used at the big colleges und there is no reason why there should not bo as high-class material there aa here,, Helsman'a former Penn star, Is coach of the Georgia Tech team and tho Atlantans have been a factor In tho gamo in the South ever blnce his urrival, though only In the last two. seasons have they gained any recognition. The Golden Tornadoes made their greatest impression when they soundly trounced Penn in an carly aeason game. An Important game will bo played in the South next Saturday when Ohio State, Western Conference champions, unbeaten.for two seasons, engages Auburn In a benefit game down South. Auburn is not the best team down tlfere, but it Is a strong one. Auburn has played seven games this season, losing only one. Auburn has defeated Howard, Clemson, Mississippi, A. and M., Florida and Vanderbllt and lost to Davidson. Davidson was the only team to score on Georgia Tech this year, tallying 10 points, and was the first eleven to count against the Navy team, accounting for a touchdown. Auburn always has 'been a representa tive southern eleven and It will afford an excellent chance for comparative dope jn tho class of North and South football. Ohio State is recognized as the best .am In the Middle West, and In Halfback Harley it has a star who ranks Kth. Ollphant, Berry, Strupper and McLaren. THIS season Penn Is In possession of a product of the South who has a chance to make himself known on a northern gridiron. This Is the youthful Joe Straus, who haa been playing havoc with opposing lines. He la rated, now with McLaren aa a line-plunging back, and his mix-up with Weston, which resulted In his expulsion from the game, deprived the fans of a chance to get a good line on his smashing ability against a big team. Boxers Are Anxious to Work in Benefit Show on December 19 PHILADELPHIA boxers and managers havei answered the call for volunteers for the big boxing show to be held at the Olympla on December 19, and the TCaponses have come In such large numbers that the card Is expected. to be made 4 mi in a couple of weeks. Every one Is anxious to do his bit nmi hnitu v, !; ;tojhest opponents all for glory. S. "I wish to tender the services of Joseph Welsh, the greatest welterweight In ' the world," said Bobby Ounnls today. -"I am especially desirous to show Mr. ,, Welsh, In this benefit performance because I honestly believe he can master any, 'no In the world who can make his weleht.

Tho suKge&tion which has been made to tho American Leaguo club owners to pool tho plajers and receipts next tcabon will bo strongly opposed by tho National League, according to a statement made by President John K. Tenor yesterday. "It is not in harmony with the spirit of baseball," fcaid President Toner. "I do not beIleo that tho American Leaguo In tends taking any such action. T am quite sure that the National League club owners would not een consider buch a move. In tho first place tho Killsfactory placing of tho star pl.ijers would bo 11 didlcult prob lem to decide ; in fact, It seems that It would bo Impossible to accomplish It In 11 way which would bo satisfactory to all clubs" Baseball Men Arc Surprised Other baseball men who talked about tho plan wero surprised at such 11 radical sug gestion from a ctcran club .owner like Charles A ("onilskev, tho owner of the world's champion While Sox For many ears this gencial shifting of players has been one feature of tho game whlck tho leagues h.ie been trj lug to aolil.f Tho sale or trade of star players from weak clubs to stroiiRfr clubs has caused no end of trouble In baseball, and only a jear ago tho National League passed an amendment forbidding the salo of plajers from on club to another alter a certain date In tho season Season before last, when Manager 51c Graw went out to stiengthcn his club, ho got Sallee, Herzog, Zimmerman und Lew McCarty, an aggregation which brought tho pennant to New York last season. The New York club's wholesale raid caused bo much commotion in the leaguo that steps were taken, to ao!d 11 repetition of the practice. The name sort of objection was made In the American League when Trls Speaker went to Cleveland Any moe which at all saors of syndicate baseball Is now frowned upon by both baseball club owners and baseball public, bo It Is Im probable that the major leagues will en ture any buch radical move. Syndicate Game Is Dead Syndicate baseball has been successfully wiped out of both leagues, tho last instance of it being a few seasons ago when Charles W. Murphy, of Chicago, was also Interested In the Philadelphia club. The same own ership of any two or more clubs lias a tendency to make the public suspicious. The Federal Lcagua could not gain tho contldeuce of Mm public becauso It was known that the league placed Its players around In different clubs. The 'very fact, however, that Owner Comiskey even suggested buch a proposition Indicates that tho club owners aro woriy lng about tho coming season. The draft Is buro to hit the clubs harder than It did last season, and several of the clubs are in danger of losing many of their jounger plajers. iOW TO PLAYGOLf' ZlCfiarl&5 (Cfiidc) Evans Jr. Hoard in the Gallery ("lALLUKYlNG" Is an Interesting pas- , Rosenthal and vJT time, and at tho big golf games it may become very Instructive.

On tho day that llobcit Gardner was plajlng Bobby Jones a lady set out from her hotel In Philadel phia fof tho golf course. The car was crowded.

The game was close and toward tho end Albert was forced to decide whether he should play a shot safely or boldly and asked mo to request a de cision. I did so and a disgusted gallerylte said: "There's Evans kicking oer that de cision. Doesn't It make you sick?" It was at the Mayfield Club", Cleveland, 11 few j ears ago and tho western champion ship was In progress. I was standing at the first teo talking with a man from Chi cago, Tho man was small and slightly built, looking the confirmed Invalid. From the gallery crushed against the ropes came tho decided tones tho gallery ntwajs uses to tell what It doesn't know: "That Is Chick Evans's father; ho came In from Chicago this morning to see bis son play." As my father is almost six feet In height and always enjoys tho best of health, the re mat k was unusually amusing to tho family. At Onwentsla last summer Miss Elaine I were Playing against Miss Alea Stirling und Itobert Gardner In a lted Cross benefit. During tho game a llttlo boy whom I had never seen before ran out Into the fairway and spoko to me. "That," spake Omnlsclentla from the gal lery, "is Chick Evans's little boy!" . "I didn't know that ho was married," said a less credulous one. "O yes," said tho other authoritatively, "several jears ago!" asked the man. replied the woman named Gardner, I PRODUCTO EVERY El Producto is made to measure ud to your idea of what a good cigar should be.

Sixty Years Wtith Three Teams By GRANTLAND RICE Beating You to It Soon there comes the ancient cry "Who'll you write about now?" ' Soon this ancient flag drifts by "What'll you write about now?" Baseball's long since hit the hay, Football's drifted on its way, Noiv that winter's come to stay "What'll you write about now?" Sixteen winters back we heard "What'll you write about now?" Year by year they've passed the word, , "What'll you write about now?" Svort, we know, runs somewhat lame War has also nicked the game, ' I 1'et our ansioer is the same We'll write about a column. THKRn are few jobs In this wrought-up Commonwealth that last forever, plus. There are few ahslRiitnents that p.irallel tho late Mr. Tennyson's hrooli. But If you In sist upon hAvInc fcucli an occupation, wo suggest that you go West anil pick out some football team to coach. Ktagg went tn Chicago more than twenty years ago or thereabouts and the M.iroon Instructor only has begun to get well warmed up. Fielding II. Yost lilt Michigan something like seven teen years ago and he has hardly more than started. . Harry Williams lit upon Minnesota twenty years or so ngo and, like Stagg and Yost, he has Just begun to coach. These three western leaders have served a total of Kimo sixty or more years on the three Jobs. In that time thev have trained and developed more than 1000 players. Just how many'inllllon tackles they have seen made and missed, just how many Kplrals tliey have watched drift down the Held, Is a trine beyond our statistical lore. But It has been enough. The New Slate There will be a tremendous revival In western football when this war ends and Michigan resumes with Chicago and Minne sota. The West, tn a football way. hasn't et found anything to tako the place of Michigan s. Chicago and Michigan vs. Minnesota. Wisconsin, Illinois nnd others have contributed their share, but with Mich igan mlwslng there was still a wide and open gap.
