Fermer Penn Star's Thirty-nine-Yard Drep Kick Saved

Merry encountered In the final period of the profesHieuul football game be
tween the Prankford Yclloxxjaehots mid Iluffule All-Amerleans lift Saturday.
The battle developed in Mich n way that te Herrj'n right feet xxas Intrusted
the task of presenting the defeat of the Philadelphia eleven In the tight
bearing en the professional gridiron champion-
STONEY JlcUXX
match, lllg money had been bet en the outcome,
principally because of his drop-kicking ability. He
yard murk, and It requires mere than a
keen eye te punch the pigskin exer the crossbar from that distance.
Once mere, it wus a professional match. Perry was being paid te de
lis specialty. Pnilure for him meant that he would net have earned his day's
wages. It was net te be compared te a college game, where a boy gives his
all for his alma mater and if he fulls is cheered because he has done his
best. Seme of the Prankford rooters hail been jelling "Take Perry out!"
and he must have heard them. Ppen his courage and ability te come through
in a pinch rested the outcome of the game. His teammates could halt the
charging Puffalees, but that was nil they could de. That was net much for
the man who must beet a football between these uprights 30 yards away.
VjLTELL, Kerry accomplished the feat. The moment the lall teat
rr paiscd te him from center and he dropped it te the around te
meet the tiring of his right lea, men irhe knew Xip and had seen him
perform realized that he had once mere put eter hit specialtp. Thtrc
teas net the slightest hesitancy; if one single nerve in his body teas
ntrcmlle he did net show it. folks, it required the old stuff te de
liver that score-knotting drop-kick. That is tehy Xig Berry is made
the here of this story.
Defense Is Superior te Offense
fttne Impressive thing about professional football, in the opinion of this
J- writer, is the cxident superiority of the defense ever the offense. The
chaps who play the game xxere stars when they were the colors of a college.
They play first xith their hends; then with their bodies. It is very hard
te feel a Heine Miller, a l.ud Vx'rny, a Merrlsey or n Youngstrem. These
athletes are experts. On the defense, nine times out e tcu they think just
as fast as the offense.
Intultixely, a trained football player who has wen Ail-American honors
knows xvhat the opponents will de under certain circumstances. A ferxvnrd
pass may succeed because it is clex-er)y executed, but seldom will it completely
surprise the defensive team. These men play football vigorously tackle hard
and, when necessary, threxv themselves at an opponent te get him out of the
piny with no thought of possible injury. However, it is u question whether
they give that final ounce of energy, since they are emplejlng their brainH.
Ofttimes we have watched n college gridder take unnecessary chances. A
tackier will lunge at a runner xxhe is out of bounds; a player carrying the
ball xx ill try te go ferxvnrd when three or mere men have him in a pocket,
half-tackled, and it is certain he will be threxxn backward and get a bruising
fall. Professionals de net play the game that xvny.
They tight for every Inch. Put because they nre playing with their
heads putting hrnin before brawn they conserve their energy, try te escape
unnecessary punKhuient. It makes a very pretty game te watch for the keen
atudent of first-class football.
0ir.Y(7 te the fact that tice professional elexens, composed of
genuine stars, arc supposedly equal in mental alertness and fight,
it becomes a test of physical strength line play for the most part.
And the contest betucen the lines of Frankfort! and Jluffale irat
splendid, lteticecn the 26-yard marks both tcami gained ground -Huffale
07 yards te S3 for 1'rankferd. Hut when either team get in
side the scoring zone the defense became a stone trail.
Kicking Was the Chief Facter
THE All -Americans had four chances te kick field goals te one for the
Yellexx-jackets, because Hughltt's punts traveled farther and xvere better
placed than these of Scott. The Prankford star xxas net in iirst-clas condi
tion because of injuries in previous battle-, which retarded his efforts. In a.
game where the defense of the rival teams is m fur superior te the offense it
becomes a question of punting and field-goal kicking. Puffale bad the oppor
tunities because ij( geed punting, but accepted only one. And the Yellow
Jackets grabbed the en chance that came their way -or Perry did for them.
An example cu" the hair-trigger bralnwerk that is a part of the football
played by the profc-iienal came in the third period. Merrlsey was back te
try a placement pnl. Huglilrt was te bold the ball. The pass from center
was low and slipped by llugbitt. It rolled te Merrlsey, who, quick as a flash,
picked up that ball and threxv it forward. It was the fourth down, and bad
net the former Husten slur acted instantaneously be would have been threxvn
en the -Kt-jard line, where Prankford xveuld have had the ball. As it was,
Heashel. intercepted the chuck and was tackled nbeut the 10-yard mark. A
beady play saved BO jards fur Huffale.
Huffale attempted seven ferxx-ard passes and three succeeded for n total
aln of 110 jards. Hughltt is a master of the pass. He threxvs the ball with
bullet-like speed mid true te the matk. Against opponents xvith less experi
ence Hughitt's pushes might have wen the game. Prankford essayed only
three chucks ferxvnrd, txxe being grounded and one intercepted. Thitj prexes
that xvhen txve wise teams nre battling the open game is net likely te be
effective. We repeat, it is a question of kicking, strength and the breaks.
Of course, the professionals, drawn from many sections, perhaps, xxith
little opportunity te practice and develop a system of play, de net have the
variety of attuck xvblch marks the college games. Several times the tit Id gen
eral was compelled te tell his plnjers xvhere they xxere te stanil in certain
offensive plnjs. However, had Frnnkferd and Huffale both drilled and trained
end studied ns de the collegians the result xveuld have been the snrae. I.
feneive smartness would hnve eutmuneuxered whatever might haxe been dis
played in the xx ay of un attack.
H.Y;: SllLLMt, former Venn captain and pilot nf the Yellow Yellew
jackets, pleyed a game at end that amazed and delighted tin
crowd, lie was in every scrimmage, his tackling was sure and vigor
' eus and ha seldom failed te seme just what the opposition planned in
i the way of attack. Tem Creeks, himself a wonder end tchtn wearing
y the red and blue, said: "Hiinc may net live up te what wc xcill call

Imagine If jeu will, please thecc of you

three points in the second period when Mor Mer

touchdown unless a break came along. The
Yellewjackets get the ball within striking dis

could hope for a drawn battle.

Unaccountable; Wen the

REAL STYLIST
il e
I
Nine years nge Mrs. Renald Hnrlexv j
twisted her shoulder xxhile teeing off
in a friendly match at the Philadelphia ,
Country Club. Muscles were tern and
nerxes injured. Pessimistic doctors said
that Mrs. Barlew xxeuld uexcr play
again.
It xvns something of n tragedy for
the Pnglishweman xvhe hud made golf- '
ing history in the Quaker Citj . Per
jears she had wen honors en the links
and even mere than the honor she lexeu
the clash and surge of competition, for '
combat xvns in her bleed.
That fighting spirit served her well ,
in the bitter days nfter the accident.
She would net admit defeat in the sick
loom any mere easily than she xxeuld i
en the greens. And the proof of thai
lies in the fact thut today Mrs. Harlexv
still holds her place as one of the finest
women golfers in this xvbole brend
land. '
As a st list she has fexv superiors,
and the opponent xxhe draws her in,
match play hub mere than a little te
xxerrj about.
Innumerable A'icteries I
Mrs. JJ.irlexv's conquests nre almost
uncountable, and it is doubtful if oxen
she herself knows just hexv many cups
and medals she lias xven in the ceurs
of her long golfing cirecr.
The national championship is about
the enlv one that she has net hud te
her credit at one time or another during
tiirwn tours. Txx'lip iii the Nationals si'

It is almost imjKiesible off-band te
I nai.ie nnether woman xxhe has built
such a record. And her buceess a an
Inspiration te these golfers xxhe have
lacked the time or the means for con
sistent professional instruction.
Nexer Hud a IjCsseii
"1 never had a lessen In my life."
, said Mrs. Barlew, "and I'm apt te be
ntrxeus, nnd I'm frightfully supcrstl-
' tieus. tee. One would think thnt the
I combination of these things would be
rutin r prejudicial te my game, but
I thex don't seem te be. I've played en
liuiiiv courses, from Plerlda te Maine,
I and in Purepe, tee, but I ucver lese
I all of my itcrx'eusness, und certainly
nunc of my superstition xxliicll is
I prebablx due te the blMif Irish in me."
i Probably the most peculiar shot thnt
I Mrs. Harlow fxer made occurred en
the thirteenth hole of her final round
with Miss Mlldied Cuxeily for the
Philadelphia championship in iil.
Though Mrs. But low xvas two up at
the time she xvus slipping, und had
lust three holes in succession.
Miss Caverly drox-e first, nnd laid
her ball en the green about ten
feet from tlm pin. Sirs. Barlexv
topped her drive. It took n sharp
dip downward, as is usual in such
cases, and then n bpiu or "English
such as Is employed en a billiard bnll,
caught it and carried it en a straight
line te the green, where it rolled te
within n few inches of the cup. The
spectators could liurdly believe their
cjes, for net once In a million times
will n "dubbed" drlxe act llke that.
There is still another word te say
for Mrs. Barlew. She Is u champion,
but she is mere than that. She is n
mother a mother gnrae enough ana
proud enough te send her boy te fight
fur tlm tlm. tVir Imil nnce been hers.
Lieutenant Barlexv xvus killed en the
Western front in 1010, months before
America entered the xxur.
He must hnxe taken the gaff with

A SCHOOLBOY, seventeen years old and penniless and harassed by the ttn
of four broken ribs and blue and black from the bruises and burann n
hard-fought football game, stelo from his bed In n hospital wficn the ntw'1
eyes and attention were turned te the needs of another patient, dressed nA
ran out. nna
Ills football team, the Waite High Scheel, of Teledo, O. i was schednt!
te play In Bosten Inst Saturday and he wanted (e sce the game at any cost
He hopped a fast freight and get as far as Springfield Mass, before
was discovered and arrested, i
But he gained his objective. The police wired te. the manager of the Wnltn
team In Bosten and the fare of the crippled player was guaranteed. He sav
the game.
What would you have given for his chances of reaching Bosten? Net even
a French franc or a German mark or a Russian ruble.
Yet he hesitated net a second. He knexv what he wanted and went after It
He had his eyes set en the goal and he pondered net at all en the rough ami
rocky reed that led te the realization of his ambition, His will was set against
odds, and neither the handicap of his Injuries nor the sllmness of his pockctbeok
deterred him. "
Ills Is the spirit that wins. His Is the spirit of youth that docs net
recognize ebstnclcs, and that spirit has been developed en the gridiron te a
point where danger Is faced with a heart of ceurage and pain Is overcome.
What if we carried that spirit into the gnme en the gridiron of life
indomitable, brave, unmindful of handicaps physical, financial or otherwise? '
IV we had half the backbone of this seventeen ij'car-eld schoolboy the
-L goal that shines in our day dreams would glisten In the world of
reality.
A Memerial (iame for the Parents of Andy Lang
riMID UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA is planning a benefit game f.,r
next Saturday nftcrnoen, the proceeds te be given te the parents of Andrew
Lnng, the freshman who died from injuries sustained In a game ugalnst
Mcrcersburg Academy.
Such u game would be entirely fitting and proper. It would 4c ene wax wax
te show the sympathy of Pennsylvania men and Phlladelphlnns toward th
korrexv-strlckcn parents of the courageous freshman.
It la planned te have n game between the 1022 eleven and n team made up
of stars of ether years. I.cxv Yeung, captain In 1913, will have charge of
the alumni eleven.
Letters have been sent out te such old-time heroes as BUI Hellcnbaek,
Beb Felwcll, Rey Mercer, Si Pauxlis, By Dicksen and a host of younger men
who have played -within the last five years.
What n treat it would be if the Hollenback, the Pnuxtls, the Felwcll
and the Zeigler of fifteen years nge could stalk out en the gridiron with
Heinle Miller, Bert Bell, Lud Wrny, Nell Mathews, Hebe'y Light and the ether
stars who played ten years later, te battle against the Red and Blue stalxxarts
of today.
Who would win? That's easy. The players of the past we have mentioned
were All-Americans or near AU-Amerlcanw. They would triumph If they hud
teamwork, for they de possess Individual ability.
But there's a barren spot en Bill Hollenback's head. Gus Zelgler Is gray,
and se Is By Dicksen. The years hnve touched these men lightly, tout never
theless hnxe left their marks in nppearuuee and physique. Their athletic days
nre e-cr.
THERE are a number of ether most recent graduates who would be
willing te play against the varsity in a benefit game, land the battle
alene would be well worth the price of admission, net te speak of the
cause that prompted the promoters.
Several Missing Frem l'enn's Varsity List
PP.NN football players are somewhat aroused concerning the unofficial list
of players xxhe are reported ns being selected for the varsity football letter.
The list contained only eighteen names.
Among the most prominent members of the sound who were missing are
Babe Greve, Frank Reckus, Jim Bryden and Jake Kauffman. All these men
pleyed In the Cernell geme, und in ether jears it hns been the custom te reward
the nthletes who started or who were substituted in the Thanksgiving Day
games with the coveted insignia.
It is net knexvn who selected the names. Edward II. Bushnell, former
graduntc manager, and Ernest Cozens, Bushnell's buccesser, both deny that
the list is official. They point out that there has been no meating of the Football
Committee te dnte and thcrefore there could be no correct list of names.
If the list gees through, Pennsylvania will break a tradition that has been
handed down through decades. Tbe Cernell game has long been the letter
game.
THERE is nothing In the by-laws that entitles a football player te
his letter if he plays against Cernell. It is tiiixxTitten, hut sometimes
unwritten rules are mere cherished than these in black and white.

THE OBSERVER
game is his terrific forehand drive, a
shot which is fester and mere severe
than that of llttle Bill Johnsten, al
though net se reliable or he xvell used
The remainder of Hunter's game is
average an adequate, nis drive plus
his tremendous vitnllty nnd lighting
spirit carry him te victory after seem.
Ing certain defeat.
Ills future Is a problem, nis game
s lop-sided nnd nt times erratic At
his best he is almost llrst-cluss'. If
Hunter can consolidate his usscts he
should be a "first-ten" pluyer for jears
te come.
