Penn coaches never have been ex

With the decline of epidemic Influ

slowly "itvl the squads at the dally
practices are beoomlng larger now that
prospects of the reopening of Bchools
are brighter.
The largest squad of the season re
ported to Coach Chnrllc McCarty, the
Knlsconal director, this morning at the
Straw bridge A Clothier Field. Kltv-
intra ana vvamui streets viose to
thirty candidates were on the field
and the churchmen got In one of the
snappiest drills of tho football year.
Captain Tom Hinge has recovtred
from his attack of Influenza nnd has
put In his appearance nt the field. He
wanted to get into the practice, but
Coach McCarty would not) allow him to
dnn togs. He will be kept out of the
drill for at least two weeks
Chestnut Hill Hard Hit
We would have more placrs out."
explained Coach McCarty, "were It not
for the fnct that most of the bos have
long way to come to the field here,
and they nro trying to keep out of trol
ley cars as much as possible. Tho next
game we have Is scheduled for Friday
with Chestnut Hill Academv. but It Is
very likely that It will be canceled. The
Hlllers nrVnbt prepared to play, I un
derstand, as they have been hit hard by
the epidemic.
The only local or nearby team that
has been able to open nnd continue Its
football season with any dtgree of suc
cess Is the Norrlstown High School
eleven, which promises to prove one of
the sensations of the jear. The sub
urbanites have won three games In a
row and all have been by overwhelm
ing scores.
The first triumph was over the Phoe
nlxvllle High, St to 0, and then Allen
town High was trimmed 28 to 10. Vine
land High was the last victim on Sat
urday, 5G to 6, The win over Vlneland
Hlgh-was scored with a crippled team.
Norrlstown was without the services of
four of Jts regulars. Onens nnd Lnr
kin, the two guards, and Xewltt and Mc-
Mullln, the' backs, all are out with in
fluenza.
Cancellations Likely
k At present another wholesale cancella
tion of scholastic games scheduled for
this week-end ly likely. The games on
the slate for Friday which are likely to
be crossed off are West Chester High
vs. Itadnor High, Trenton High vs. Cam
den High, Penn Charter vs. Swarth
more Prep, South Philadelphia vs. Her
mantown High and Friends' Central vs.
Moorestown High.
Central High hopes to be able to open
the season ngalntt Lower Merlon on
Friday afternoon nt Houston Field. Dr.
M. C. O'Mrleh has been In communication
with the Ardmore nfllclals, and with gen
erally Improved conditions at both
schools. It Is very probable that the
contest will be played.
Last )car Louer Merlon, which was
being coached then by Walter Loucks,
the former Pennsvlvanla and York quar
terback, surprised tho KcholaMlc world
by holding the Crimson and Hold to a
scoreless tie, and- In antlcljwtlon of an
other hard battle, Dr. O'Brien has been
devoting considerable time to the devel
opment of his eleven.

Considerable diversion during the

MARINES BOOK
GAME FOR NOV. 2
WITH NAVY TEAM
Peck, Fleming and Boynton May
Play With Coach By Dick
son's "Devil Dogs"
ghe Marines of League Island have
booked a game with' the Navy for An
napolis on November 3 and already
Coach Dy Dickson Is beginning to point
his "devil dogs" for tho big battle with
Uncle Sam's embryo ensigns. It Is very
likely that the local Marines will be
strengthened considerably by the addi
tion of Bob Peck, the former All-American
center at Pittsburgh; Bed Fleming,
the famous Washington and Jefferson
flash, and Ben Boynton, the far-famed
quarterback from Williams.
AH three of these stars are now at
the navy yard and It Is probable that
they will be available for the Navy
game Bovnton has Just been assigned
to aircraft at the yard and Is In rood
condition. He was at Wllllamstown un
til last Saturday where he was aiding
In the coaching of the Williams aggre
gation.
The Marines proved their strength
last Saturday when they held Lehigh to
a 6-0 score and the Bethlehem eleven
was very lucky to get nway with the
victory. The 'devil dogs" will be tested
further when they line up ngalnrt Penn
on October 26.
In the game against Lehigh, the
Marines showed lack of practice, but
they are out every day on the League
Island gridiron and Dickson will have
them working In harmony in a Bhort
time. '

back home. He whispered not a Word to
any one nnd for some time the coaches
at Franklin Field did not know of his
whereabouts That's a way Hobey has J
he-rarcly says anything; he Just acts.
Assigned to the meanest position on a
football team thaf of defensive full
back Hobey rarely received the credit
that was due him. Whenever the Penn
line cracked, It was Hobey that sprint
ed Ills bulk Into the gap and stopped
tho rush; whenever a rival back slip
ped off tackle, It was Hobey who was
at his ankles, and often he caught op
ponents on end runs.
Made Holes for Straus
If there Is one young, man and only
ono who will miss Hobey this year at
Penn then that one In Joe Straus. To
the spectators, Straus was a wonder
last year as n lino cracker. They never
saw him throw himself against opposi
tion that didn't jtetd, but they couldn't
see Light 'blazing the way' for hla
teammate. It was Hobey's Job to mako
the holes and Straus's act was to go
through them. We do not wish to take
credit from Straus. There are somj
backs who can't go through "holes when
they're made for them.
After Penn beat Dartmouth, 7-0, lasc
year nt Boston on a touchdown made
by StraUB, Bert Bell was being con
gratulated on the victory.
"Thanks," said Dcrt, "but there's the
fellow to congratulate. He won the
game " He nodded at Light who was
sitting on a chair In tho corner of
the 'hotel lobby by himself.

By WILLIAM H. EVANS
As a result of the first golf tourna
ment ever held In this city by thfe min
isters of Philadelphia, there will bo a
permanent organization, and next car
at least fifty clergymen will play In a
similar tournaiffent.
The Rev. Dr. Aqullla Webb, pastor of
the Central-North Broad Street Presby
terian Church, with whom the Idea of
the tournament originated, went to n
lot of work and sent out 350 letters to
the local clergy, asking them to play
for the Bed Cross. Unfortunately, Sat
urday being a holiday no mall was de
livered apd It was too late Monday when
his letters reached the ministers for
them to mako other arrangements.
But, over tho phone twenty had con
sented to play. I'arly Monday morning
regrets began to filter In. One clergy
man said he had three funerals and a
dozen others said that they had from
one to two set for Monday, and, of
course. It would not be possible for them
to compete.
So the field narrowed down until only
seven were left. The Bed, Cross medal
was won by the Bev. H. B. McCrone,
pastor of the Wakefield Presbyterian
Church, with a net score of 73. The
Bev. J. Oray Bolton, of the Hope Pres
byterlan Church, was the second low net
player with 75. Tho low gross score,
si, was maao py Doctor Webb.
The high scores were du to p. stiff
breeze that blew all day long and this
was chiefly responsible for mounting
scoren. The course was In excellent
condition.
Among others who played were the
Itev. Drs. Herbert Burgess, Mutchmore
Memorial Presbjterlan; Wallace Orecn,
Third Baptist nnd B. T. Jones, Susque
hanna Avenue Presbyterian.
Charlie Heeb. who has nerfeet form
In his practice shots and who can give
a lot of the North Hills men a run for
their money, told this story:
"I did not know the clergymen were
playing, but I watched a man nlnv
eight shots before he got out of a
ounxer ana wnen he got out he re
marked to his partner: 'Well. I am
going to give It up.' 'What,' replied his
partner, 'golf?' 'No he said, 'the min
istry.' !
The summary:

orlslnnted the tournament ror riergy
