Old Fellows Would Play Grid Test en Saturday
Following Thanksgiving Would Mean Reunion
of Venn Stars of Other Years
By STOXBV McLINN
SATURDAY evening, prarcful nml contented ntiil lmpuy, n inmlitleu uf
mind Hint is llie aftereffect of n lint shower, Ulp 1)111 llellenliack. lluck
Wharten, Krnle CezzrnH, Gum Zlejjler, SI l'mutls, Vex Draper, 'IVx Knms
dell nnd ether I'enns.vlviiniu football greats of the days that are pone wilil.
" Let's make this pune hetwenn the Alumni nnd Varsity nn annual affair."
There wok net a dlssentiuc voee; In fact, theri
was enthusiastic uwnlmity.
Hew these old fellows feel about It today
is another thing. Likely Dig Hill, for one. as
he greanlngly steeped te lace his hoots and won
dered which of the hundred or se sere spots
wns the sorest, mused somewhat ns follews:
"Was ever mortal man such a feel? Me, a
happy husband nnd proud father, making llylng
tackles nnd hitting the line just like u twenty-one-yenr-eld
kid!" Hut the bruies and
abrasions will heal and pass away, nnd it is
nlmest certnln that the Alumni-Varsity battle
will he played each jear.
It Is the intention of the old fellows te play
the game en the Saturday following Thanks
giving, If possible. That will bring the stars of
yestervejir back for the Cernell Eitm It will
mean un nnnunl reunion of football men who
STONEY McLINN were the lied nnd lllue. Aside from the game,
which will provide geed fun, there will be n dinner at which the grid
iron sport will be the Mibjeet discussed. This "111 de a whole let te keep
burning the tire nnd spirit that will make l'enn varsity teams try te fight nnd
win ns did the elevens which were captained by the All-American players
who risked llfe and limb te meet the eungsters en the icy gridiron last
Saturday.
The Pennsylvania undergrnds who will wear the lied and lllue en the
football field in HVJII learned some valuable lessens. They found that Den
Wharten, (Jus Ziegler, Dex Draper and Si I'nuxtls, te mention the elder of
the linemen en the Alumni team, knew mere about hew te play the forward
roiltiens than any of the modern i-ellcge opponents that the (Junkers met In
the least season. Ner only did the eld-timers step the line bucks mid tnrkle
alants of the kids, but they opened holes in the Varsity line through which
Bert Dell nnd Gotwals, younger graduates, made geed gains.
'ASA matter of fact, in rushes from scrimmage the Alumni gained
mere around than the Varsity, Without previous practice and
nam signals, the old chaps had an interference that was perfect while
it letted. The trouble teas that the ancient limlis could net mere eith
the speed and precision necessary te take the man with the hall far
Had the veterans lecn possessed nf the youth and agility of the Yar
sity, and the practice, tee, there treuld have hern n different story
te tell.
Se Burlesque Game
rpHK spectators had heaps of fun. There were many ulm mild nei make
-L themselves believe that this game vns en the level. They considered it a
burlesque. "It Is impossible for Dr. Wharten, n man en the eve of fifty, te
t-erieusly play the strenuous game of football,' said one former grid nfhlete
who was seated in the north stnnd. Well, get that idea out of your head,
old-timer. Ask the Varsity boys whether the men with the rny hair and
bald pates played honest-te-goodness football. They will tell you that they
are nursiuj bruises received from violent nnd sincere contact with one of the
players approaching twoscere and ten.
Furthermore, they will inform the world that Hig Dill llellenback Is much
harder te step than I'ddle Kaw, Tiny Hewitt or any of the fullbacks who
hurled themselves at the lied and Dlue line this year. Dig Dill has the same
knee, action, the same tkill at keeping his feet and boring through the massed
enemy that made him feared and respected by the great Michigan line of four feur
tetn years nge. Dill lacks speed nnd wind, but net the essential tight and
nerer-quit spirit that marks the. successful line plunger.
yES, that game should have lern a lessen or the toys who will play
next teasen. They should knew, better than ever before, that
football is, as Xig Berry expressed it, S7K per cent fight. Ter what
ether quality had th,i eld-timerst Only the knowledge of hew te de
it. And that is net very much when the muscles will net respond In
the command of the brain.
Tips for Younger Generation
rpTIEDB In another lessen in that game for the young men uf .vui'-n. u It
X should have taught the boys who watched it the value of athletic training.
There were scnted in the stadium hundreds of young men between the agPi 0f
twenty and thirty who could net have run ten yards without yelling for a
fresh supply of wind. The first time these chaps would have sat'dewn en the
frozen turf there would have been the sound of nn ambulance gong approach
ing. And a leaping tackle' That would have brought the black wagon.
An athlete is an athlete se long ns he lives. The boy who does net engage
In some game while he Is In college is losing much geed fun. Dut of far
greater Importance, lie is overlooking the opportunity te build his body se
that when he Is at or past the mid-station in life's Journey he may go out there
and play the strenuous game of football opposed te young men who have the
advantage in every way except in courage nnd knowledge.
Kid Keinath refused te piny with the Alumni. "I was n quarterback,
and u chap who plays that position is expected te use his head." said Keinath'
"I think I used my head by remaining in the stand nnd playing the part of a
spectator."
And that developed a line of thought which Keinath enlarged upon. H
is a Arm believer in the theory that a qunrterbacfc should be a field general
rither than a ntnr player. In ether words, Keinath thinks that the Harvard
ajstem that had Charley Buell as the tactician, who did little save call signals
yus the ball and kick, Is the thing,
mm
VETKATH declaret ifxsi them ft tee Utile attention pail te ?
ttUotien of a quarterback nowadays that is, in many colleges.
He insists that the modern game requires quick thinking en the part of
a man who has a dear brain and a man who has been hitting the line
and whose mental works are slightly impaired is net in a position te
use the intuitive judgment that puts ever th right play at the riihi
time.
Forward Pass Bothered Vets
TIE possibilities of the forward pns, when properly tibed, v..;n , ,,.
niented en by Keinath. He said that Penn showed the rnlu of the piaT
when it was used nt the right time ngninst the Alumni. Thcve veterans knew
that the ball was going te be passed, but because of aged and slew limbs they
could net cover nil the players who were eligible te receive it. Vnturellf
opposing colleges would be faster and would have n better defenie for tlji
pais. Dut, ns Kelnnth Insists, when It Is usd en n surprise measure and
called for by a heady quarterback at the psychological ranrneut It Is alrneif
certnln te succeed.
The great trouble is that the nrernse quarterback has bten told by his
coach thnt the forward pa is dangerous. That It 1 only te b used under
certain favorable conditions. Consequently when It is used It Is net surprise
football. It Is the expected thing. If n field general whose mind was clear
would call mere frequently for the pass when there was a thn-at te hit the
Una the play would de what it was expected te ife and the game would be
much prettier te watch.
Baseball surely has changed. Last week in New Ter' ,j10 WM re(
nearly the interest displayed in the selection of three new big league managers
(hat there was In whom these pilots would select as their assistants or coaches.
This wns especially true in the case of Prank Chance, who comes back 'e th
game te manage the Dosten ikd Sex.
A friend of the former Peerless Leader, and a man who was one- of th
smartest players en the diamond in his day, remarked that "Chance's miccf-M
depends upon his selection of nn assistant. Prank is nn inspiring leader 01
men and n geed judge 0f ball pluyers. Dut he needs a wan te put in a modern
stem of play and te coach from third base."
.V THE iclevtien of Jimmy Archer as his ihirf asustant. wtih Vik
Denlin te sit in en the councils, it is wendtrcd whether the Htd
,i$or manager has acquired the men who will give him the requisite
modern system of play. Archer has lecn active in the game and may
knoe hew te plan an attack and defense that will match these of the
ether teams. Jlut Uenltn is an old-timer who may net have mered hii
ideas along se that they will aglee with the present-day bitebnll
problems,

DUNDEE TO RETIRE
IS RUMOR
ED AGAIN
Small Purses Are Making
Johnny Disgusted, Accord
ing te Latest Repert
IN THE RING TWELVE YEARS
Hy LOUIS II. JAI'I'K
NCK again rumors arc current thai
Johnny Dundee, New Yerk's junior
lightweight champion, is going te quit
the ring. He has been premising and
threatening te retire for fe long thnt
little credence is being taken in this
most recent report about the Scotch
Wep.
Several years nge, wiien Dundee split
with Scotty Mentclth. Johnny said thnt
he was anxious te see hew successful
lie would be as his own manager for
a year, and then he would retire. He
wanted te have the experience of doing
his own business before hanging up the
gloves.
Dut that year rolled bv and Dundee
continued te push leather. During the
last summer months it wns said that
Johnny was thinking seriously of giving
up the came, nnd he was quoted as
saying the tir.st of the year would find
him en the outside of the rink look leok loek
ing in.
Several weeks nge nn announcement
en me from Dundee's quarters thnt the
retirement gossip was just idle conver
sation, nnd he would get himself Inte
condition for en nctive 1921N2.'! cam
paign. Peeved Because
of Decent Small Purses
New rumors have It thnt small purees
for his services nre making him dis
gusted nnd because of the little money
thnt lie had received for his last few
matches would cause him te write
"iinls" nt the bottom of his vecerd.
Dundee, it wns said in New Yerk
Inst week, was greatly peeved owing te
tlie small attendance et his bout with
(iene IMment, of .Memphis. Tenn.. in
Droekljn. A little mere than $1700
was taken in at the gate nnd his bit,
en n ".." per cent bnsis, came only te
WAV And that is all that Johnny re
ceived for a twelve-round bout.
Per bis two previous contests Dundee
drew down S102."i for u bout with a
boxer by the name of Deyle In Newnrk,
N. J., and $2000 for meeting Alex Hart
at The Arena in this city.
Whether Dundee really will retire re.
mains te be seen. He Is still this side
of thirty, bnving been born in lIl,'),
and he probably will continue his tlstlc
career, whldi new covers nbeut twelve
years, se long as he Is able te sheet out
a left Jab nnd keep his chin from in
front of nn alien wallop.
Uetli.v Marien Loelis
Like Hani-Hitting ltuer
Itecky Marien is one of the tttesi re
cent invaders in Philadelphia and lie
shapes up like a hard-hitting battler.
The Itecky person boxed nt the Chest
nut Street Arena last week and he re
turned n winner against Hebby Lyens,
considered te be a rather nifty two
fisted mlttman around New Yerk. They
boxed eight rounds and Lyens was
shaken up severnl times.
Marlen is twenty-one year of nge,
hails from Dichmend, Va., has a rather
nifty left jnb in nddltien te n vicious
right-hand1 wallop and is the third
member in his family te tnke tip boxing.
Itecky, by the wa' , in a welterweight.
He snys he doesn't care who he meets,
and this gees for Wulker, the Mick,
Marien insinuates.
While fighting bleed (lows through
his veins, Mnriun did net get the in
spiration te fling fibts until he shoul
dered u gun in the lute wnr. He was
stationed nt Camp Trinkle, Vn., when
Itecky decided te get into the rock 'em
nnd feck 'em racket.

MOLL Y THA YER HOLDS
THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Always Leads in Whatever
Field She Cheeses te
Compete
Melly Thayer hns a protean ude te
play in the eyes of the public. In each
of them as u tennis champion, a
writer and a society girl she has taken
a high place.
Ah a star in the courts Melly Thayer
is thp essence of coolness. There is
extraordinary ease in her deliberate
driving and accurate placing. Though
just a shade mere than twenty-three,1
she Is a vcternn nnd has the veteran's
knack of diagnosing with instinctive
quickness her opponent's plan of nt
tuck. Chumpien-hips are' nothing new te
her. She hns held the city nnd State
titles, and for live years she and her
brother Ale have had unparalleled suc
cess ju the mixed doubles. They wen
the Knstern States titles en several oc ec oc
ciisiens nnd took permnnent possession I
of the mixed double cups. Then Ab'.v
went stale and blackened In hi play
nnd Melly disposed of him summarily,
teaming up with another brother, doe. .
"Alex works tee hard," she said,
"nnd doesn't play enough, while doc is
alwnys keen nt tennis."
She was right, ns usual, nnd Jee and
Melly swept through te victory with
the same spirit and dash ns Alex und
Melly hud done in the pust.
Several times Miss Thayer has fought
her wiiy te a high place In the na
tional championships. In 11120 she wns
the last Philadelphia survivor in the
nutienals, nnd was eliminated mere by
a malignant fate than by her own in
ability te climb te the top.
Miss Tlmyer's (lumeiievi
That contest is one of ilu liuesl
monuments Melly T'hnjer ever built te
her courage and fighting spirit. She

Padderli's Suggestion Bit Lnte
CIIAULIK PADDOOIC, the great sprinter of the West, was naturnlly dlsn.
pointed when lie learned that the A. A. U. hnd definitely decided net tii
record the marks he wne credited with by Western tlmqrs.
In return, Pnddeck entered r pretest against the watches used by the
officials nnd suggested thnt timepieces which registered a tenth of n sLi
should be used. mti
Charlie Is a bit late with his proposal. Timers In the East hare been
using "tenth" wntches for many months. These new nnd dellcate marvels of
modern mechanism caught the speed of the runners In the last national
chnrnplenships nnd also in the intercollegiate title events.

McOrtiws Stand en Players Union
J AWN .T. McGRAW is one of the first managers te ceme out flat-fooled ami
state that he is opposed te a ball players union. Seme time age when the
formation of the organization was news it waa announced from the West that
McGraw hnd placed his O. K. en the association.
This brought n sharp denial from the Giants' manager. He said he hid
net expressed nn opinion of the organization. He added that it was "none of
his business."
At thnt time McGraw adopted nn nttitude of "handa off," but state
the nnneuncemrnt thnt come of his own players were elated for executive peit
he hns Interested himself.
This gray-haired New Yerk boss said he could bee the need for such an
organization in the miner leagues, but that major league players getting
fabulous salaries would be nothing less than ingretes if they enrolled in the
union.
As has been previously pointed out, the players -would be foolish if tier
attempted te held up the owners for "mere money. They would find that prtlle
sentiment would be ngninst them.
An nssociatien which alius te co-operate .with the owners in dririM
gambling out of baseball, te bring nbeut lasting harmony between owners ami
players und te promote n better spirit among the athletes toward their profession
would fee ideal. The benefits would be numerous.
TF SUCH were the views of the proposed union, the public, as well
-Las the owners, would be In sympathy with the movement.
