jXyrlNOU college boosters are very much excited nbout the Tictory of West
Virginia oyer Trlnceton Inst Saturday and many arc pulling for some
nail eleven to win the championship. This Is only natural, because U. Is
"pldom that a team of West Virginia's caliber la allowed to play a member of
the "big three." The big guys like to eidestcp tough tussles lute in the season,
rnd If a practice game goes the other way, the triumph always is a glorious
one.
West Virginia's stock went above par when the final score was posted
and one fan has written in saying the team is the best In the country nnd
comparative scores prove it. Perhaps that is possible, according to the scores,
".nit it is a very unsatisfactory, to say nothing of uncertain, manner to
pick a champion.
If one should ask in an offhanded way which teams stood out this year
' '0 would answer that Colgate, Harvard and Dartmouth seemed to be the best.
Then, when comparative scores arc dragged in, everjthing ii upset and at the
end you don't know where you are.
For example, let's' take West Virginia. The mountaineers defeated
I'rlnccton by a score of 25 to 0. Colgate defented the Tigers 7 to 0. There
fore, according to comparative scores, West Virglnin is three times os good
as Colgate. The Hamiltonians played a tie game with Dartmouth and that
makes the Oreen team one-third in good as the southerners.
Colgate beat Brown by two touchdowns and Syracuse did the same last
Saturday. Thus, those teams also are equal, and nccording to the dope arc
not in West Virginia's class. Now Sjracuse beat the Army, tho Army beat
lloston College and Uonton College beat Yale. If comparative scores, are fol
lowed, the mountaineers should wipe the field with Yale and all of the others.
DVT, as was said before, there altcays is some trick stuff to contend
" tcith when picking a champion. Just as iou arc firmly cont'incnl
that West Virginia is entitled to all of the honors, you look over the
scores again and learn that the mountaineers loit to I'itt by the score
of 26 to 0. Then, to mako it more intricate, Syracuse beat I'itt,
Comparative tcorest Not for us. It can't be done.
Close Formations in Rain
J If THESE days of modem football n football team, in order to meet -oil
comers, regardless of weather conditions, must be drilled in two different
kinds of attack. On a dry iield the open formations with wide end runs, trick
forward passes and things like that always go big; but when the gridiron is
muddy and a keavy rain Is falling, something else should be used. I have
3een two big games lost this season because teams did not adjust themselves
to weather conditions.
On a rainy day it is difficult to use forward pabses because tho ball is
slippery nnd difficult to handle. Tor that reason the aerial attack should be
forgotten. Wide end runs with the backlield scattered about ten yards behind
the line of scrimmage also are useless, because the runner finds it hard to get
started in the mud and when he gets going the opponents have broken through
and the man with the ball is thrown for n loss.
Close formations are successful on muddy fields. When Pitt played West
Virginia, Coach Warner instructed his men to use line plunges and run no
plays outside of tackle. On the other hand, the mountaineers played as if
the field were dry and couldn't do anything. Had they changed their nttack
and played Rogers three yards back instead of ten, it might have been a
different story.
Last Saturday 1'enn was defeated by Penn State. Tho Ited and Blue
ised too many open formations nnd failed to gain consistently. Hugo Bczdck,
of baseball fame, who is head coach nt State, sprung a shift from close forma
tion and had nil the best of it. '
' W700TBALL teams should prepare jor rainy days. Two styles of
attack should be practiced 'and the quarterback should know when
t to use them. Failure to do this has lost many football games t the
past and to-ill lose more in the future.
Making It More Intricate
A XjMOST every Saturday of this strange football season there has been at
" least one big burpriso contained in the list of results. There's nothing
o lead us to believe that this coming Saturday will be an exception. Dart
mouth's tie game against Colgate has made the big Green the favorite over
Penn for the struggle that will be waged on the Polo Grounds. Maybe it's
ihe Quakers' turn to give the old dope a haymaker.
Nothing could complicate the comparative score system more or make
t more intricate than would a Penn victory over Spcars's aggregation. The
N'cw Englanders have not been beaten this season, and they handed State
a 10-13 walloping two weeks ago. Those who saw the game Haid that Dart
mouth was stronger than Stata by three touchdowns, and it was only Charlie
Way's individual running that made the two Bezdck scores possible. State
beat Penn 10-0. Can you imagine what a trimming the comparative score
rtuff would get if the Quakers won this coming week-end?
Stranger things have happened. The Bed and Blue is fighting with its
back to the wall, and certainly there will be something stirring on the Polo
Grounds. Spears has a great line and it will be a great battle between the
rival forwards. The Quakers also have been blessed with a good first de
fense, and it will be a struggle of stars.
Folwell'B team has been made to realize that it's possible to lose and
it Is likely that tho Stato defeat will have a good effect on tho players. It
has arouhed their fighting tpirit and they will go into the game more deter
mined to win.
nENW DARTMOUTH clashes alicays have been thrillers and the
game this year looks like the big number.
Soccer at Franklin Field
T7TRANKLIN FIELD will not be idle while the football team is battling
the Green in New York. The Bed and Blue soccer eleven has the right
of way over the chalklines of the stadium on Saturday, when they engage
Talc. It will be tho first time this season that the Quaker varsity has
played at home.
Penn always has had a good soccer team since Douglas Stewart took
charge some years ago. He has given many championship elevens to the
Bed and Blue, and it looks as if another title-winning team has been formed.
Stewart has a lot of confidence in bis men and is frank in stating that it is
ee of the strongest teams that ever has represented Ben Franklin's uni
versity. Ihp Quaker socceritcs gave an exhibition of their real ability recently,
when they held Bethlehem Steel, the national champions, to a 3-1 score.
The team has won five games this season, the last win being over Princeton
1b Tigertown. Saturday's game, however, will be tho opening entertainment
f tho Intercollegiate League beasen.
Soccer is going big at the University now, and outside of football no
tier sport can bring out as many candidates. There are sixty on the squad
now. Four teams have been organized and schedules arranged for each com
bination. The practices, of course, conflict with trie football drills, and the
seccerltes have to get in their training on Museum Field.
COACH STEWART U out with his squad every afternoon and does
the coaching for sport's take. He receives no compensation from
the athletic- association.
THIS next Saturday will be the first time in a number of years that Har
vard, minus Haughton, has tackled either Princeton or Tale. The new
Harvard system in a big November test will be on interesting detail to watch.
It ay very well be that after a nine or ten year rule the Haughton impetus
''will etlll remain. But systems generally belong to a man, not to an institu
tion. .

WINS IN 1 HOUR 31 MINUTES
Xew York, Xov. 4. Jne Stecher,
claimant of the world's heavyweight
catch-as-catch-can wrestling cham
pionship, defeated I'd "Strangle!-"
Lewis, of Kentucky, in a one-fall
match at Madison Square Garden last
night, throning his opponent with a
body scissors and double wrist lock
after wrestling 1 hour 111 minute 3
seconds.
Stecher scored the decisive fall after
he had squirmed out of live successive
headlocks. He obtained the body scis
sors, holding it for nearly a minute nnd
a half, then spread out his opponent's
arms with the double wrist lock and
pinned his shoulders to the mat.
The match was cleverly contested,
each man using every hold for which he
was noted and at one stage stealing
each other's thunder when Stecher at
tempted the headlock several times and
Lewis the scissors hold.
Before the main bout AVladek
Zbvszko, with a body lift, raised Pct
roff, of Chicago, high in the air and
tossed him for a fall in 2 minutes -1!2
seconds. Zbvszko chal enced the win
ner of the other bout and a telegram
from Karl Caddock was read, stating
that he would meet Steelier or Lewis
here later.
New Yorker Scores Heavily

IJy LOUIS II. JAFFE
IT LOOKLU ns if Dancing Johnny
Murray elected to lick Al Shubcrt
with his Icf hand at the Olympin last
night. The chances are that the New
Yorker probably would have accom
plished si.ch u unique task hud he left
hio clog-stepping shoes in his dressing
room. Wasting entirely too much time
two-stepping after connecting with a
slashing southpaw slam, tho Gotham
Slovenian gave the tow-headed New
Knglaud caveman an opportunity to
dose up and administer sufficient pun
ishment to leave the ring a winner.
Murray might just as well have
loeked-up his right arm back in New
Yrk. i',or the first two rounds the
Dancing One left-jabbed, left-hooked
and danced. He kept his right hand up
iiround his chin nnd didn't use it once.
Then in the third round Johnny evi
dently remembered that he had n glove
on his right mitt for a purpose, let fly
with it and missed. In the following
rounds Murray used this leather-covered
bunch of lives no more than hnlf a
dozen times, but did no damage what
ever with it.
Scores Hard With Left
In the first round, after demonstrat
ing a few new steps in the light fan
tastic art, Murray bhot over a short
left hook at close quarters. Shubcrt al
most sat down. But instead of following
up with his right, or even once more
with his port-nrm, Murray danced back
and clogged borne more. This waste of
precious moments was to Shubert's ad
vantage. Al rushed in, head down, and
flailed away at Johnny's bodv with
both hands. And Murray wasn't very
anxious to swap socks, so he clinched
and held on.
All of the remaining rounds virtually
were a repetition of the initial inning.
Murray hooked hard' with his left, daz
ing Shubert at times, but he was
anxious not to have his dancing stunt
fall flat. So he backed up. put on n few
shuffles and Bteps, and in the mean
timn Rhnhert was able to overcome

ONE factor that hag piled the casualty list so high this season has been th
number of rugged schedules which various elevens have undergone and are
undergoing.
Tnkc Brown for example. All this eleven had to-face was Colgate, Har

picked too soft a trail. Neither Yale nor Harvard picked an extremely rough
towpath. Both have registered several breathing spells. Princeton haa had
a harder trail than either the Blue or the Crimson. " It haa fallen to the lot
of such elevens as Colgate, Dartmouth, Pittsburgh, Brown and others to carry
just a trifle more than a normal squad can get away with.

big Eastern League clash is scheduled
to begin nt 8:4ti p. in. nnd Dave

Basketball of major league class is
nothing new to Germantown fans. The
"Big Five" hailed from that locality
and played a prominent role in the
Philadelphia League. AVhen tho Eastern
league was started sixtn negiment
was one of the original teams, but after
a couple of games, the club transferred
to Germantown, but tlue to poor man
agement failed to btart the second
season.
The veteran "Army" Fitzgerald has
been assigned the job of turning out n
good club, but he is not predicting any
thing like a pennant winner at the
start. Fitz begins the season under a
handicap. Germantown entered the
Eastern League at' the last minute
when Allcntown failed to come through.
At that time most of the best players
were all signed by other clubs.
Germantown did have Hough and
Barlow, two of the men that will ap
