' ibon got down to business nnd began to win Karnes. Tho victory over Dartmouth
, was a surprise, but It was nothing compared with the result of tho Michigan game.
The Wolverines were tho heavy favorites and l'enn was not conceded' any sort of
It chance to win. They camo through, however, mainly through tho brilliant play
ing of Howard Berry and tho superb defen&o taught by Doctor Wharton.
Penn has a peculiar team this year. Looking over tho records of tho big

rap at the Penn system or anything else simply a statement of facts. Against
Pittsburgh Alex AVray caught a forward pass and carried tho ball to tho nine
yard line, whero Straus took It over. In tho Dartmouth gamo a penalty gavo
Penn tho ball on tho four-yard line, and again a touchdown resulted. Those
certainly wcro lucky breaks. Then In tho battle with Michigan It was the Indi
vidual work of Berry that won tho game. Tho fullback booted three goals from
tho field when tho Wolverine defense stiffened and was holding for downs. A
drop-kick usually Is tho last resort In a football game, and I'cnn got away with It.
A touchdown was scored, but It was another lucky break. Cleary blocked a punt
and fell on the ball over the goal line. Not teamwork, system or unything else was
responsible for tho score.
In fact, when one studies the Penn team this year the work of Doctor Whar
ton looms up bigger than ever. The attack never was able to gain consistently,
the team had no final punch, and tho only thing that stood out was tho defense.
It might bo said that Berry's drop-kicking was part of tho attack. It wasn't. It
was an Individual performance, made possible by the blocking of tho linemen.
The forwards played the gamo up to tho highest standard nnd turned back tlio
onslaughts of tho foe. In other words, the defensive play In tho Dartmouth and
Michigan games was so good that tho other teams couldn't score, and if you can
keep a team from making touchdowns It Isn't hard to step In and win games.
m
DOCTOR, WHAKTOX leaves tonight to enter the Government service.
He will be stationed at Norfolk. lie certainly helped l'enn this year
and made It possible to recover from the early defeats. Howard Berry
and Heinle Miller also will play their last football gamo for tho lied nnd
Blue. Immediately ufter the Cornell battle a captain will be elected. Bert
Bell is the man for the position.
Boynton, of Williams, Made Brilliant Record on the Gridiron
BECAUSE ho was stranded up In New England playing with Williams, Benny
Boynton, tho nineteen-year-old quarterback, seldom was heard of In theso
parts. Tho youngster, however, proved to bo tho sensation of the year and stood
out, among the other quarterbacks. His Held generalship could not bo Improved
upon, and when ho ran with the ball long gains always resulted. During the
season Williams made U'SS yards at rushing the pigskin, and Boynton made S32
of them. The team scored nineteen touchdowns nnd the youngster registered
twelve. In addition to that he kicked three goals after touchdowns, which makes
htm one of the heaviest scorers of tho year. Boynton also is good at throwing
the forward pass. lie shoots the ball straight as a baseball, and his throws aro
accurate. He was the principal offense of tho team and most of tho defense.
It Is customary for the tiiiarterback to play back on tho defense, but Boynton
declined to take a rest. Instead, ho backed up tho lino and tackled all over the
field. He made more than one-half of tho tackles for his team and proved to bo
invaluable. Williams, by the way, finished the season without defeat, something
that hasn't been done before in the thirty-seven years the game has been played.
The team was coached by Fred Walker, the former big league pitcher, who played
..under Stagg at Chicago. Walker made good from the start, and his nttack was
considered the best In the East. In eight games 77-' yards wore gained on forward
passes, or an average of 3CH yards per game. ' This Is pretty good for a light team.
At the start Walker had but two veterans on his squad and Jmllt up his team
out of green material. It is seldom that a coach makes good his first year, but
Walker's record was so brilliant that many of tho larger colleges aro seeking his
services for next year.
fTlHE first thing Walker did was to
R' " sub halfback to quarterback. It
to play good football from the start. The first victory was over Cornell,
and there was no fluke about It. Boynton Is 0 feet 10 Inches tall, weighs
158 pounds and comes from Texas.
Kilbane's Soldier Pupils Make Hit in Exhibition
WHEN the Camp Sherman eleven appeared at League Park, In Cleveland, last
Saturday for the game against Case and Western Reserve, the football gamo
was not the only attraction that kept the largo crowd entertained. An added
feature was the boxing exhibition given by Johnny Kllbane, with tho assistance
Of his pupils. The gamo was a big thing, hut tho boxing drill, with fifty-sK
. Sammces, star pupils of tho featherweight champion, proved to bo as popular
as the game Itself. This was the first public appearance of camp boxers, and
;., the work accomplished by tho champion during his brief stay at the Clillllcotho
cantonment speaks volumes for his work an an Instructor. The soldiers donned
., the gloves and responded to Kilbane's commands by going through some extremely
' Interesting movements familiar to tho followers of tho roped arena and tho Kll
bane rooters In particular. Kilbane's stylo was reflected In his pupils, and It was
t easy to detect In the Sammees' swings, footwork, Jabs and other stunts all tho
T other features of 'Kilbane's style.
The boys went through the various boxing stunts and It resembled a gym-
eastlc drill. As soon as tho boys had given a good account of themselves In drill,
& Johnny ordered them to tear loose and mix It. Some real lively boxing followed.
'"' There was more swinging at League Park than when the Indians faced Walter
', ' Johnson, and tho fans stood up and gavo tho combatants a great hand. Just
when some of tho bouts became real heated and somo action was assured an
t officer blew a whistle calling quits. KUbano was given a great hand and was
:ft ch'eered as enthusiastically as the football gladiators. The Sammees who per-
,.. formed are classed as Johnny's prize pupils.

DltAW this dUer.v from a noni'om-
batant: "Just why shouldn't there bo
a ranking of football tennis this seavon nnd
the selection of an all-star team? Most
of the teams have played out their schedules
and most of tho stars have been playing
football that Is, the list Includes such men
ns Ouyon, Ktrupper, Hurley, ollphant.
Horry. Miller, Itobeson, McLaren and many
others."
This Is no time for Intolerance, hut a
minor opinion can at least bo advanced.
And our opinion would bo that neither Is
this a tlmo for championship ranking nor
the selection of any all-star or ull-sectlonal
cast.
A Tew Hcasons
The reasons aro -fairly sulllcient. nv
number ut unlverslt.es, for causes tVia't
seemed quite enough from their viewpoint,
have discontinued intercollegiate, football.
Any number of other, such as Cornell,
have Mill'cied extreme losses lu material,
due to the demands.of war.
Somo haw suffered f r this cause mucli1
more Ulan others. Many colleges have been
able to maintain most of their stars.
It would bo unfair to rank these colleges,
on an even bails against these which have
given up lrtually all veteran material.
There were no golf i r tenals rankings
itfeniuted this season on this account, for.
while, the War Dejiattinoi't. encouraged
sport, It took an early stand ngalnst ..liani
plonshlp play.
The All-Star Argument
As for selecting all-star teams, there Is
this to be said- Any number who would
have been In line for football preferment
this fall have enlisted and dropped out of
Intercollegiate play.
t'nder this condition no man would feel
any keen elation at being selected on an
all-sectional team whero be might not have
