Lafayette knows Pittsburgh bus a strong team, sail Pittsburgh is aware that Lafayette has one of the best elevens in history The opposing eoeehes, (ilenn Warner and Dr. Jeck Sutherland, are both primed for the fray and nothing has been left undone. Plays which usually ate held b.i.-k for the November gauien have been rehearsed and the spectators will see mere real football than ever was exposed en October I.

He is a wonderful all-around player who can skirt the ends, buck the line, threw and receive ferwurd passes, punt and drop kick. lie will form a healthy nucleus around which te build the eleven and will play a whale of a game.

Athletics Assist in Pennant Fight Ot'R A's lent a helping hand te the struggling Yanks of New Yerk ye-terday afternoon and lifted them one game closer te the American League pen nant Our A's arc geed at that helping hand stuff. Thev assisted f leveland the last time that club was here, and it was the same with all of the ethers except the White Sex. Yesterday, however, they did something worth while, all of which was appreciated. A big crowd was at the game; in fact, it looked v.tv much like old-home week. The fans had a geed eniK te travel te Shibe Park, for one bull club was en the verge of winning a pennant. This is such n strange nnd unusual tight that cash customers fought their way through the gates in order te have a leek. All of the old-timers were en the job, just like opening day. Frank Mackln nnd Geerge Perry, of New Yerk, were the official greeters. There was a let of baseball and the Yanks did most of .the playing. Thev Stepped en Slim Harris' twisters when it did the most harm, socked a let of long hits nnd shoved ever five runs This, hv the wa . was the same were used by Chicago in erasing Cleveland. In ether words, they made four runs tee many. , , t New Yerk plajed as hard as if thev were pitted against a club up in the race nnd looked as if they were out te win. Nothing was overlooked, even an opportunity te argue with the ump. The Yanks were fighting nnd playing real World's Scries baseball. Everjhedy was serious except, possibly, the A's. Delays were frequent, hut the crowd didn't kick. In the second inning Tilly Walker held up the game for a time trying te make up h mind whether or net te climb into a box and sock a noisy fan in the nose. but. desisted nfter Umpire Wilsen held him back. In the third. Miller Huggins had some sort of an argument with Geerge Meriarity about a strike, but finished second. Bhawkey picked up a lump of mud In his eye when he was running te first base in tile fourth and time was taken out while an cvavating operation was performed. Hut the prize one came In the ninth. The bleacherites nlwnys drape them selves ever the wall in the last inning, with their legs dangling n-fr the barrier. Meriarity ordered these legs te be lifted out of the playing field, but nothing was done until Wll-en walked from third base and did the work. He had te stumble ever four sleeping cops who were out there te spend the afternoon and possibly see the game. Great things, these ball yard cops. Without an alarm clock they are lest. TJO n ,, OWKVKR and be that at it illorieui victory, and noir have the pennant unanimous. The (hants had the flag prevented te then ehrn Pittsburgh leit a pair in St. Leuie, e t loeki like a Getham gathering next ireik. Cennie Puts One Over en Huggins CONNIE wanted te win vectcrdnv's game and almost put one evtr en the Yanks. IWnre the buttle began 'v rybeily thought he wrk going te use Helmach. the southpaw He warmed up. and Hugmns sent In Harper te pitch te the batters. While this ns going en Slim Harris was folded up mi the bench, the picture of an athlete en un e(T iIim . Slim stepped en the mound in the first innin; nnd Mi New Yerk gents 'were very sere. Thev felt that something hid been put ever en them and that Cennie was real mean. However, they made the most of it and managed te score five runs mere than the home folks. Harris pitched a swell lull game, but slipped up occasionally. When ever this occurred somebody would bust the bulb. MeNnlly nnd Miller con nected with three-baggers and Rajah Pecklnpaugh lifted n home run in the left field bleachers These three blows were enough te ruin any ball club, mi the A's couldn't help losing One of the pleasing features nf the giime was the weik of Chick Gul'e way at third. Chick Is a geed hall plover nnd ("ems te be able te de Lett, r work en the het .erner He made seer.il sensational steps during the nftir nftir nftir noen, some of which were slightly appreciated.

JACK STRVHINO former Trlnreten Qtiartfrlwk Princeton Is net underestimating the. strength of tne Swarthmere eleven, which entertains the Tisers at the Pal mer Stadium tomorrow. Hill Reper. In particular. Is warning about overconfidence. He points out that that Rey Mercer with u veteran team is bound te push the Tigers te the limit. "This gnme Saturdav," said Reper In a talk te his pupils," is going te be n tough one. Make no mistake about that. It iua be that Kcck nnd Lourle are better than any tackle or quarter back in foetbnll tedav. but two players don't make a foetbnll team. We have te work, nnd work harder than ever before. "I don't knew what Mercer lias tip his sleeve, but with the mntcrial he has en hand nnd his football knowledge, he has us all worried. e are fnr from what we should be. and the result is very much in doubt " Big Jeb for Reper Reper has a big job ahead of him ' this year te duplicate his clean slate ' of If)!.')!, and he knows It. The squad this week has been worked . rnincr nnru eeusiuering tne ihci iiibi lieper Is an advocate of as little werls as possible. At Tlgertewn they recog receg nise the mettle of the Little Quakers and expect te treat them accordingly. And this Swarthmore crew is one te be feared. It's really remarkable that it college of but twe-ami -a-bulf hun dred men can produce such a team. Last year tnev were tne enlv team tnat pushed ever Princeton's coal line. The ether touchdowns were made via th aerial route. Ihis car they have twelve i of the "S" back. Except for last j ear's guards and Larkln, the captain and tackle, the team is practically Intact. Te fill the vacant positions there is plenty of steam and meat available and ,t s going te be used te geed advantage. The liackfield is, geed. Captain Geigc. about as big nnd as fast as a li ,i. .i 1 i i. quarter Asplundth. the blgget mnn back of the line, is enough te worn the best teams in the country. He can kick high and fnr. His punts nrc little short of marvelous for their distance, height, accuracy nnd consistency. Add te this the fact that he carries the ball well, has 210 pounds with which te de it, and can pass. A 210-pound threat' arnall. another back of last year, is one of the sweetest broken-field run ners the Quakers hnvc ever pessrs,.(. The fourth man will be from White, Cnrter and Harp, who nrc no mem trio in themselves.

Although nothing definite has been nnneunced by Tex Uicknrd himself, It Is sad that he has conceived the Idea te pick the second best world's light weight by the elimination process. Tonight's meeting between Pete Hart ley nnd Willie Jacksen Is supposed te be the first of the elimination bouts at the Garden. Lew Tendler, local southpaw, will be at the ringside te see this con test nnd It is Ricknrd's intention te mutch the Phllndelphinn with the win ner. Tex Invited Tendler nnd his mnn nger. Phil Glnssmnn, te be In New Yerk tonight and articles may be signed for a match. Other lightweights eligible ler me tournament nrc Sniler Friedman, of Chicago ; Johnny Dundee, of New Yerk : Reckv Kansas, of Hulliile: Charley White nnd Jee Wnlling, Chlcngeans. nnd the Mitchell brothers, Richie nnd Pinky, of Milwaukee. Additional boxers also will be signed ns principals In the elimination if they show the necessary caliber in the next few months. These boxers already mentioned have been in the lightweight limelight for several years. Seme of them have been deefntcd by Leenard n few decisively and, while it is ruled generally that Renny outclasses the field, It may be, un te n veuncster. still in the making. te ceme through, upset the dope, finish en teji nt the close of the tourney and be recognized as the tltluhelder'a fore most challenger. With probably a dozen matches necessary te decide the elimination It appears ns if Leenard would net be nsked te defend his crown ngalnut the winner until next summer. In this event Rlcknrd would have a ring at traction along nbeut the Fourth of July at Jersey City that would rival his Inst banner battle, from a spectacular stand point, between Dempsey nnd Cnrpen tier. Ricknrd. it is known, is figuring en another meeting between Jess WlliarU and Dempsey In his mnmnuth pine bowl en the well-known Thirty Acres, still, a lightweight battle between Leenard and the winner of nn elimination tournament would oveishndow the heavyweight inntch. This probably would Inspire Tex te stnge the heavy weight contest en a date either before or after July Fourth, en or about which day n lightweight bout would loom ns the biggest battle of the season. Philadelphia fans are viitunlly as sured tlits llr-t bout In which Cham Cham peon Leenard Is te appear since re covering from his injured left hand.
