The aggregation opened the season in last Saturday by walloping: the Annville High scihool squad by a 72 to 0 score. When Tech met its opponent In Lebanon last sea son the contest was played In a down pour of rain that made good football impossible. As a result the locals ! were nosed out by one touchdown. Two years ago on the Island. Tech i made a cleanup of the Dutch lead by Hobey Light, who is now one of the j stars on the University of Pennsylvania | eleven. Light at that time played the i star game for his team. Tech followers have heard with re- ! gret that the squad will be deprived of ! the services of Mell. who played a b&ckfleld position last season, and wbo ; had been a candidate for an end posi- ! tton. His parents have objected to his playing. The freshman Phillipelll has : also quit because of parental objec- I tton.

Weldon, the star fullback of the Lafayette team, did not return In time to go through the preliminary season with the rest of the team, and hence in the game with Fordham on Saturday, it was on this account largely that Lafayette's for ward passes were almost a total fail ure. but one out of seventeen being successful. Weldon. however, has put In a week of very serious effort and his game has come up to its accustomed high standard. Overton, who has played for three years on the scrub team, has come In to his own as center on the varsity and is likely to take a permanent place In long string of center men. After two years of absence, Charles Marvin Pardee has returned to his place at the end of the varsity line. He left this place in the first game of the 1914 season when a dislocated hip put him out for the rest of the season. Tomorrow afternoon, the Maroon and White tfam will meet Swarthmore. The little Quaker college has, for years, been one of Lafayette's strongest ri vals. The fact that Lafayette's coach. Wllmer G. Crowell, was one of the greatest star that Swarthmore ever had, always adds a touch of interest to the contest. Will, SEE WORLD'S SERIES Harrisburg will be represented at the world's series games.

SMOKING AU/OWK1) DURIVG THE GAMES ADMISSION .... 25 CENTS M'GRAW MAY GET ON CARPET SOON National League Magnate Claims His Punishment Will Come New York, Oct. 6.—The National League will act on the accusation of John J. McGraw that the Giants "laid down" in the crucial game of the Brooklyn series. McGraw will be reprimanded officially by the National League. This has not been announced by the league, but one National League mag nate has declared that this is the pro gram, despite the announcement made by John K. Tenor that no notice would bo taken of tho implied charges. The outburst of McGraw. while it was not taken up at any set baseball meeting, has been the topic of more conver sation among the magnates than the coming world's series. Whatever the olHcials of the league may say, it is certain that McGraw is !o bfc disciplined. Whether or not the kittle Napoleon will submit to this re mains to be seen. I It is planned to make the disciplin ing as mild as possible, if he Is willing ; to turn the other cheek and accept the | chastisement, but should McGraw come I before the league in a belligerent atti tude. something more serious may re sult. This is not the only issue which Is upsetting official basebulldom on the I eve of the series. The statement of Ban Johnson in regard to the McGraw matter has aroused the ire of the Na tional League magnates. Johnson said picturesquely and potently: "If this had happened In tho American League there would be hell to pay." Tho National league magnates im plied that Mr. Johnson had plenty of I soiled linen to cleanse in his own league before he came butting into the j laundry of tho National League to ! raise "gehenna." Thus McGraw has not only disrupted the Giants for the time being, but he has also sanded the smoothly running gears of the national commission, which always gathered for a little close harmony around world's series time. Yale Favors New Plan For Cutting Down Coaching Bills I New Haven, Conn., Oct. 6. The movement to abolish the system of athletic coaching by highly paid ex perts took definite form here to-day j with tilt, publication of the report of ' the special committee in charge of | Yale athletics. This report, signed by Robert N. i Oorwin as chairman of the commit tee, asserts that "unless Yale can from her own resources, graduate and undergraduate, develop her teams | without such artificial stimulants so I that she can reasonably compete with I her rivals, it would he best to elimin ate intercollegiate athletics altogether |tin'il tho dawn of an era of reason ableness In such things." The committee declares that the | budget for Yale football coaching for | one year alone is considerable and j this money Is expended in the em ployment of a small number of men j for only a few weeks, while the ex , penses of the coaching of the crew I are proportionately large.
