public is strong for football that is. of coiite. the winning kind and will

On the victorious stand. In other words, if Peun has a w lulling clccn this
year everything will be loely from n financial icupoint.
On Saturday the local mob witnessed the initial uctory of the yenr in a
football game and also took a look at the Iteil and Illuc athletes emerging on
the long end of a rough-house contest put on as an added attraction on the
sidelines. The rough stuff was entirely uncalled for, but when it started
everybody took a hand in the fray. In fact, sexernl of the bojs ued 'a couple
of hands and the going was fast and furious. Had the offenders been canned
"the game would hae ended then and there.
Cardinal Mercler evidently was surprised when he gazed upon the stren
uous scene ill the third period, but the Imijk acted leal nice and gentle. The
intermission between the halves was cut to five minutes s the prinuilc muld
see bow the great American game was pla.wd. Scenes in Itelgium dining the
war probabl sifted through his mind when Jnlinii Ileudreii. of ISuckucll. hail
several yards of gati7c bandage wrapped around his head before the period
started and the other jouthful athletes sponged the crimson gore o(T their
faces so they could start clean, nut there was no rough stuff just hard foot
ball, and the cardinal missed none of it.
Penn won the game in the first period, concentrating its attaik and push
ing orer two touchdowns before Itucknell knew what happened. In justice to
the Lewisburg boys, howcier, it must be stated that they hac not been prac
ticing Aery long and had but three Fcrimmages before coining to Franklin
Field. Coach 'cte Reynolds has a likely looking squad nud more games will
be won than lost this season.

There was little team plaj. the man
the time. The baekfield men are not interfering as they should. Time and
gain opposing ends and halfbacks sifted through and occasionally a lineman
would Rmear the works' The bojs did not work well together, but this fault
will be remedied in the next week. Coach Folwell has a line on the men to be
used on the varsitj and no dflubt will work them hard before the I'. M. C.
fame next Saturday.
It wasn't difficult to pull oft sonic star plnjs against ISticknell. but llobey
Light stood out as a regular performer. To my mind this halfback is one of
the best plajers in the country, because of his nbilitj to run with the ball,
help other runners uud his defensive work. Iloticj. when right, is a good
interferer ami in 11117 was responsible for the brilliant showing made bj ,Ioe

ishment, but he is not jet in conditiou.

ja headlight on a dark night. Ho is a strong, fast runner with the ball, punts
Well, getting distance and accuracy in his kicks, and also hurls the forward
pass. Daliny McXieliol should make the team because of his aggressiveness.
Heinie Miller is plajiug 'better than ever before at end and Hopper also
looks good. Hay .Miller, Heinie's brother, cannot be overlooked and should
play in most of the games,

Hell against ISuckucll and Tit7el also showed promise of developing into a
good tackle. Frank, the sub guard, who played in the second half, looks like
the best bet for that position. Thomas, Deiter and Nejlon will light it out

attempted end runs and got into cicry plaj. MeDeniiott played in 1IIKI and
apent the next two years in the armj . He was awarded the Distinguished
Senrice Cross for bravery under fire at Fisines. He .was a sergeant in Sec
tion 524 of the United States ambulance service. McDermott will be heard
of this year. Johnny Hendren played a nervy game after receiving a bad cut
over his left eye. He was forced to retire in the third period.
llucknell had a chance to score in the first period after llobey Light
tallied the first touchdown of the jear. A I'enn fumble was recovered on the
20-yard line and two plays directed at the line netted " jards. Hendren took
the ball on the next play and tore through for a good gain, but one of his
teammates pushed him ahead and the result was a tu-jard penalty for assist
ing the runner. Penn then got the ball, rushed it down the field and scored
on a trick forward pass which was captured by Bell.
Penn, by the way, looks like a forward-passing team this year. This is
Bob Folwcll's pet play, and it is working fine for so early in the season.
In the other games Harvard swamped Hates by the score of 5.1 to 0,
Lehigh massacred Villanova 47 to 0 and llrovvn and Dartmouth scored easy
Tlctories. West Point did not make much of a showing against Middlebury,
although the game was won 14 to 0. Syracuse also was weak in the opening
same. West Virgiuia practiced for Pittsburgh by beating Marietta 01 to 0.
Rogers was the star, scoriug five touchdowns.
Yale and Princeton did not play, but will open the season next Saturday.
On that day all of the teams will get into action and the season will be well
under way.

Gordon and the last against Wake Forest.
Make New Ruling on Forward Pass
AT THE annual interpretation meeting in New York Saturday night sev
eral points were brought up by the officials and coaches, which when
straightened out made the rules a trifle clearer. One of the most important
questions was raised by Dr. Al Sharpc, of Yale, in regard to forward passes
hitting the goal posts after having been caught by an eligible man.
The rule states "if the ball, after having been legally passed forward,
1 strikes the goal posts or, crossbar, before or after it has been touched by any
eligible plajer and before it has touched the ground it becomes
dead and shall count as a touchback to the defenders of the goal."
Doctor Sbarjie's argument was that the rule was entirely too drastic and
at times unfair. For example, if a man caught a forward pass and then
crashed into the goal post, the ball touching the wooden upright while in pos
session of the player, the rule states that the ball is dead and a touchback
results. After talking It over,it was decided to add a hv words to the rule,
vis; "except when in possession of.a flayer. " ,
That; means a player," after catching a forward pass, will not commit a
foul (f the ball, whilo etUI in his possession, touches the goal posts. The
rait is No. 11, Sectlpn 6, ou rage 02.

CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
"TO BE A HARD FIGHT"
"A of O ver con fide nt ,
Though," Is Prediction of
Reds' Manager in Win-I
ning the World's Title
'PLAYERS IN SHAPE"
Cincinnati, Sept. -'..
"Wr
H AIM' (onlident, but not over
confident." said .Manager I'.il
Mnran, of the National League i ham
pions, when asked for an opinion on the
outlook for his lenni in the coming w
,.ii
1 (I
series. "It has never been niv habit to
make any predictions' on events of this
kind, even otTsJnglc games of ball. The
record of the Heds, however, spc.tks
pretty well for itself.
"The boys won the pennant bv de
cisively defeating the (Jiauts, their
nearest rivals, in the last three seiies
between the two teams. The took the
lead from the ("Hants on August 1 and
never relinquished it. Two weeks later
the Heds won four out of si from the
(iiants at the Polo flrounds, and final!
they cinched the flag by taking two
straight here a couple of weeks ago.
Itrst in Crisis
"All through the season it h.is been
the record of this club to plaj its best
ball in the crisis. Xearl.v all of the
poor games the team has plajed have
been against the second division clubs.
This spirit and this ability to rise to
the occasion in the pinches gives me
much confidence in our chances.
"I know that Kid (Jleason is handling
a formidable club and one which will
give us u hard battle. Hut the Heds
have never fallen down when called on
to exert themselves to the limit, and I
sec no reason why they should do so at
the end of the season.
"The team is in excellent condition.
with the exception of Heinio firoh, who
has been greatly bothered with a
smashed finger. lie has not plajed for
more than two weeks, but he thinks lie
will be able to start the series.
Would ifo .Missed
"We would miss hi in if he should hurt
his finger again and have to be taken
out, but he has a capable substitute hi
joung Schreiber, who has been playing
tine ball at third base.
"I have not jet decided what pitcher
I shall start in the series. I will have
five or six readj, and any one of them
is likely to turn in a competent game.
Our infield has been standing up well,
and the addition of Pat Duncan to our
outfield makes us look stronger, botli
on the offense and the defense. I can
only say that we will not be beaten until
they have taken five games from us."

The Hardest-Hitting Club
A CORRESPONDENT desires to know how the White Sox comparo with
the old Athletics ns a hard-hitting club. .
There is very little difference. The Maekmcn one or two seasons went a
trifle above .280. Collins is nbout the same Collins, .lackson can outhit
Baker or Mclnnis at their best. Collins, Jackson aud Felsch arc about nt
dangerous ns Collins, Baker and Mclnnis, while Weaver, flandll and Icibold
are batting full on a par with Barry, Htrunk and Oldring.
THESE two clubs arc the hardest hitting machines the American
League ever sent into action harder hitters than the Bed Sox or
the Tigers of 1009.

TRIS SPEAKER, as a batsman, failed, to bat .1100 this season, but as n
manager ho came near batting an even 1.000. Tris conferred n great
favor on tho btate of Ohio by failing to finish first. The Buckeye common
wealth could never have stood tho double strain.
IT MAT be that some English promoter will pay Dempsey ?2."0,000 to meet
Beckett, but for all that we'd like lo havo a year's salary equal to the
difference between $250,000 nnd what Dempsey will finally get.
