SjMirlH fdltitr Kicnlng l'lilillr Ledger
Copvrtolit. 19t3. by 'tittle I.trdocr Co.
rpODAY marks the turning point of the 11111 football season in the Hint. All
" of the big trams are entertaining and some arc looking forward to con
flicts this afternoon with fear and trembling. All of the big boys with the
possible exception of two I'ennsjb inin and Princeton are up agaitut tough
propositions, and no one can tell what will happen before nightfall.
It is unusual to have Midi Important battles so early. In the olden limes
no one paid any ntteution to the September and October games, but waited
uutll the latter part of November for the Important to say nothing of crucial
contlicK Todaj, hoiveier, demonstrates bejond nil question of doubt that
we are cavorting in an entirely new era, or something like that. I'ivo teams
of major league standing face live others of the same caliber, and it's.n cinch
a few will be disappointed.
Just take a look at the program for this p. m. : l'itt at Sjraeuie, Colgate
at Cornell, lirown at Harvard, Peun State at Dartmouth, Hoston Coljegc nt
'nle and Swarthmore at l'enn. In addition, Princeton has an ciny skirinish
with Itochcster, Lafajette plajs Haverford and Lehigh mingles with the New
1ork Aggies. AVest Virginia plnjs Mar) land State in Moigautouii, and the
Mountaineers will not have an easy time of it.
The first five games stand out and some Hi ply times are in prospect. It
Is impossible to pick winneis, because no one is doiug it this season. 1'or
example, take Pitt and Syracuse. IJ( cause of the overwhelming and surpris
ing victory over AVest Virgina last Saturday the Panthers are favored, bu.
Siraeuse won from the Army and according to reports the team is stronger
than in years. It's u sort of an r en-Stephen proposition, and the team
v.bieh gets the breaks will win.
Pitt has a fair line, a brilliant backiield and Glenn Warner as coach.
1'hnt means the teams will have an assortment of bewildering piajs to be
used in this particular game, and used Allien they 11 ill do the most good.
No one can tell what Warner will spring. In 101(1, when Syracuse had that
jnastodontlc line which was considered impregnable, Pitt used nothing but
line bucks and scored an easy victory.
'TODAY he is likely to spring an nrrial allnik or pull some tiidc
open football but no one Knoics what it trill be. l'itt will give a
tfooci account of herself, and she will have to.
Syracuse Staff Confident
T AST Saturday I saw Hill ITorr, assistant coach at Syracuse, in Pittsburgh,
-' and he ndmited the New Yorkers were good.
"It's one of the best teams we have had in years," said Hill, "and wc
will give Pitt a hard battle."
Chick Median, another assistant, expressed the same opinion.
Syracuse impressed the critics in the Army game. Lawrence Perry, one
of the most able football writers in the country, says Ark ley and Kiving are
good'bnckfield men and lirown is nu excellent end. Ackley in particular was
good at returning punts and made many brilliant runs through a brokeu field.
The Syracuse attack is based upon a kick formation, one of the most ef
fective in football. The punter is back nnd the formation of the backs de
scribes the form of a diamond. The ball goes direct to the runner, and the
quarterback usually is in motion before the ball is snapped so as to get Into
the interference. .cUley and Hwiug made good gains off tackle and other
jilays showed that the Orange and nine had something which could cat up
ground on a fairly large mile and it's the long-gain play which makes trouble
on neutral ground. Therefore, Syracuse is nil set for the combat today.
Harvard has not been pressed very hard this jear and no one has been
able to gt't n line on the strength or -weakness of the team. Against lirown,
A'wevcr. it will be different. True, the llruuouinns lost to Colgate last week.
Jv1!,,,- h,,r ftt nn Hit.crp,Iit. f'nlcrnte has n irreat eleien. .1

.V Ttrmvn should pile the Crimson a totnrh tusslo itnil mnLn Iha flilptra
from Cambridge do some tall hustling. Ilnrinrd's work has not been very inir
pressive, the early victories resulting from the weakness of the opponents rather
thnn from any particular strengtli on her part. There may be a big surprise
uprung in this game.
Major Frank Cavanaugh is coaching Hoston College, and that means a
fairly good football team will take the field against Yale. This will be the
first hard game of the season for Shnrpc's meu and it will uc interesting to
gee how they act. There's quite a difference in ruuuiug up scores against stiff
opposition.

EAKLY in the year the National League race, looked to be a battle between
the Cubs and the Giants, with the Cubs having the edge through Alexan
der's icturn from the Rhine mists.
The Cubs finished Jhlrd nnd the Iteds, nn outside choice bnck id April, won
handily through the rare managerial nbillty of Pat Morau, hard fighting,
steady hustling audj;ood all-around ability.
In the American League the Hed Sox Were favored, with the Cleveland
Indians second choiso. The Ileds finished In the second division, tbo White
Sox again upsetting tjic early dope. -
When it camejo the world scries, the Whifc Sox were favored by the big
majority, yet the Ileds proved their supremacy.
80 baseball gave vent to three upsets out of three chances, so far as ad
vance form went. (
THE citizen willing io bet last April that the Ileds would be world
champions by October could have picked up a number of stately
looking odds.
2. The Boxing Game
WHILE there were any number of insider. who believed that Dempsey
could not beat'Wiilard, the letter's crushing defeat im three rounds was
on upset of the keenest variety. '
No heavyweight champion In thirty years had been beaten in less than
ten rounds. Yet the biggest of them all was floundering in his own gore fifty
seconds uftcr the bell rang.

i Colgate Favored Over Cornell
"OUT the. real, honcst-to-gooduess battle will be staged up in Ithaca when
Cornell takes the field against Colgate. The Hamilton team is regarded
as the best in the East and is a 10-to-l! favorite in the betting. Last Sat
urday they trimmed Brown by the score of 14 to 0 and expect to do better
I'tj than that today.
West, one of the best tackles in the country; Auderson, a deier quarter
back, and filllo, the fullback, arc on the team, aud the) form a strong
liucleUB around which to build Hip team. Larry Bankhart, who turned out that
great eleven in 11)10, also is back, and they say he is better thuu ever.
Cornell has defeated Oberlin and Williams by small scores, Shiverick
makiug all of them. As )ct the team has shown nothing, and Speedy Rush,
who is coaching, faces a rough outlook. It seems that Colgate can ruin the
offense of the liig Red team if. Shiverick is stopped, and, that should not be
difficult with eleven men against one.
If Cornell loses toda) there will be gloom in Ithuca, because the season
then will be all shot to pieces. Dartmouth will be plajed next Saturday, and
that game will not be soft by any means.
Dartmouth, by the way, will have its first hard game with Peun State
up in Hanover. N. II. The (Jrecn team is sun to be strong and the same dope
has been spilled about State, so )ou can take your pick.
Hugo Bezdek, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates during the baseball
H'asou, is head coach at State College, aud he is a good one. Last )ear, with
very poor material, he threw a big scare into Pittsburgh by taking the ball
down the field after the kick-off and scoring a touchdown. Hugo knows lots
of football, knows how to teach it and has a fine squad to work with. Most
of' the old men lime returned, including three captains, nnd it the boys play
well together Dartmouth is in for a btrenuous nfteruoon.
WJlHttE lion hate the line-up for today, and we'll admit it is a good
one. The uncertain games are between l'itt and Syracuse, Har
vard and lirown, Colgate and Cornell and l'enn State and Dartmouth.
Penn Has Great Line
1HE University of Pennsylvania evidently has been overlooked this year
because of the easy schedule thus far. Hut to remove any doubts, nllow
119 to "state that Hob Folwell hasja mighty sweet team this year and will finis'i
the frout rauk. The mauling Millers, Heinie and Ray, are two very good.
lids, and Maynard and Lou Little are swell tackles. Deiter, Thomas and
tank pin) u good game at guard and l.ud Yi ruy stands out as a center.
Iklui it all in all, Penn has as good a line as there is in the East, and it will
continue to improvelunder the direction of such an able coach as Dr. Buck
iyhai ton.

''' Another Well-Coached Chestnut Hill Team
-TTJIHUQ DICKENS nljowed nnother well -coached team yesterday afternoon
J5 when the Chestnut Hill eleven handed Episcopal Academy a 0-0 defeat
i at the Straw-bridge & Clothier field. The Hlllers played good football and
ttapcrved the victory. Episcopal played a miserable game, but this does not
detract from the glory of DickenB'H triumph.
The Hlllers' backfieid, with Valentine and Carrlgan leading, lootel good,

very little; in fact, the champion took
part in onlv two or three exhibitions
This lav-off during the war, however,
finnarentlr failed to slow him up. In
With n teuiii of high caliber, hence the
only thing to do was to get the next

New Haven, Conn., Oct. 18. In
meeting Boston College today Yale was
prepared for its most strenuous of
early season gnmes. The eleven se
lected, with French, Kempton nnd Bra
den in the backfieid, was considered the
strongest the Blue can muster nt this
stage of its development.
'"IXTALTER HAOEN'S victory in the open golf championship was no upset,
VV as he had won before and was ranked ns one of the strongest in the field.
But in the amateur championship the four favorites were Chick Evans,
Francis Ouimet, Bobby Jones aud Robert A. Gardner. .
" None of these enmc through, although Jones reached the final round.
Dave Ilerron, the ultimate winner, had not been selected in advance as a
likely choice. He had failed to qualify in the previous championship nt Merlon
nnd no one hnd figured upon bis remarkable improvement. So here wc have
another upset, tossing another kink into the revolving dope.
THE victory of William r. Johnston in the tennis championship .,
trn'j no part of an upset. In his two previous championship startt
he had turneain one victory and had reached the final round in his
other attempt.
Upsets Lead
SO IN baseball, boxing, golf and tennis wc have had seven championships
of note.
These seven championships offered no less, than five upsets where the
favorites were crowded over the rocky ledge. Only Walter Hngen nnd William V.
Johnston came bounding safely through, and these were not outstanding fuvor
ites against such stars ns Barnes, Evans, Ouimet aud Brady in the open golf
championship, or Tildcu, Patterson, Williams and others nt tenuis.
XlTIIEIiE less than a third of the favorites come through you can
enfer t( as something of a lop-sided year 30 far as advance from is -
supposed to go.
On the Side
THE number of minor upsets was innumerable. Figure out the odds you
could have got that Dick Kerr would wiu twice as many games as'Cicotte
and Williams combined.
Or that Morris Rath would outplay Eddie Collins.
Or that young Duncan, just out of the minors, would drive in more needed
runs than any other member from both teams.
A XD who would have suggested that Eddie Gicotte and Slim Sallec.
" fading veterans in 1918, out on the last rim, would return to stand

tories to sharef
The Maker of Sport
AND yet the upset is the maker of sport. If every event "ran true to ex
pected form there would be no thrill left and the color would fade from
the sportive landscape.
fHE diagnostician of the game knows in advance he is likely to be
wrong, but as long as he can add to the gaycty of nations in o
soggy world and set in motion a wild flurry of indignant pens and
pencils, his general value remains around par.
