12 TECH CRIPPLED FOR WILKES-BARRE GAME BY INJURIES TO "SNITZ" SNYDER FRESHMEN WERE LOSERS AT STATE Captain Clark and His Team mates Tear Through Line For Big Gains State College, Pa., Nov. 9. Penn State's stalwart freshman eleven, fresh from its triumph over the University of Pennsylvania yearlings couldn't hold the 'varsity to-day. Captain Clark and his teammates scrimmaged for forty minutes against the best de fense the freshmen could offer, and the regulars tallied seven touchdowns. Five of them resulted from forward passes hurled to the back and ends. Higglns, Ege and Gross figured prom inently in the scoring. Harlow's new offense for the Lehigh game seems strong. Jeff Clark Gains Jeff Clark celebrated his return to rough work by tearing through the freshman line for long gains. His spectacular advancement of the ball did not, however, eclipse his brilliant interference. Whenever Hess or Ewing successfully turned the fresh man ends, it was Clark who took out the tacklers for them. Neither Robb nor Beck took part in the signal work or the scrimmage. Both of them needed a rest, and they were sent to the training quarters after a couple of turns around the track.

THIRD BIG LEAGUE IS NEW PROJECT May Mean Elimination of Inter nationals; City Demands Classy Sport New York, Nov. 9.—ln order to im prove conditions outside of the two major leagues, the big magnates who fchape tiie destiny of the national game have made plans for the formation of a third big league, a combination of the best cities in the International League and the American Association, which will not be subject to the draft rule and may have a representative on the national commission someday. The National Association of Minor Leagues convenes at New Orleans on November 14. Delegates from big and little ball clubs in all parts of the United States and Canada will meet for the purpose of building up the sport outside of the major leagues. The big scheme that will come up for careful deliberation is the forma tion of a circuit to embrace Toronto, Buffalo. Baltimore, Newark, Milwau kee, Louisville. Indianapolis and To ledo. If this plan meets with approval the International League will pass out of existence, together with its clubs in Providence, Rochester, Montreal and Richmond, while the American Asso ciation will drop Kansas City, Minne apolis, St. Paul and Columbus. Indianapolis. Milwaukee and Louis ville have grown so rapidly that they demand recognition as major league cities. Indianapolis was a member of ihe National League up to 1890. Louis ville also had a National League fran chise Jn the twelve-club circuit that was dissolved in 1899. Milwaukee was one of the original members of the American League. Toledo made rapid strides last season with Roger Bres nahan at the head of a pretty fair ball club. With Toronto, Buffalo, Newark and Baltimore in the eastern end of the new major league, the railroad jumps would not entail heavy traveling ex penses. In the western end Indian apolis, Ixniisville, Milwaukee and To ledo woudl also be conveniently lo cated. A schedule of 154 games would mean three eastern and three western trips, with the season opening and closing on the dates fixed for the Na tional and American Leagues. It would bo necessary to adopt a salary limit, perhaps, to keep the- new- American Association clubs within reasonable bounds, but it would be possible, under more prosperous con ditions. to carry many first-class play ers dropped by the National and American Leagues, at the same time providing room for the best men at present reserved by the clubs that would he left out of the proposed ar rangement. It is the plan of the big magnates, including President Ban Johnson, of the American League, who is the prime mover in bringing about this radical change, to call the new major league the American Association and to elect Edward G. Barrow to the presidency. The admission of Baltimore to the new major league, it is believed, would result in the withdrawal of the. $900,000 damage suit brought against organized baseball by Baltimore Feds. If the new major league should de velop high-class playing skill next year it might be possible to admit the pen nant winner to the world's series of 1918. That would mean a three cornered battle for premier baseball honors which would interest twenty four cities instead of sixteen. As far as the national commission is con cerned, the reorganized American As sociation might be allowed to have a membership, but that is problematical and would depend entirely on the strength of the circuit. Marked Improvement in Bucknell and Gettysburg There has been a marked improve ment in the playing of the football teams representing Gettysburg and Bucknell colleges. Although Princeton overwhelmed the Lewisburgians Sat urday, the pace set by Coach Johns ton's proteges in the game against New York University at New York, Tuesday was a source of renewed con fidence to their followers. The exhibition of Gettysburg at Morgantown against West Virginia last Saturday was the best that has been given by the Battlefield boys this season. The West Virginia team, which earlier in the season held Penri to three points, was unable to gain consistently in its attacks on the Get tysburg line at any time during the fray. YOU MAY BE STR "MIKfeSs>OiOVAN: .■^S.tfcLOEVfeia Here are two old men W'ho don't believe in being the "lean and - slip pered pantaloon." Mike Donovan, now sixty-eight years of age, was once a famous boxer. For many years he was boxing instructor at the INSTRUCTING NOVICES IN ART OF TRAPSHOOTING A very important thought In connec tion with giving a beginner his first les son in trapshooting is placing in his hands a gun which, as near as condi tions will permit, lits him. If he brings his own gun, assuming that his gunning experience ends with the field, it, in all probability, will be found, owing to stock measurements, to be useless as a target braker. Then, in all fairness to the novice, a trap gun should be borrowed, but, in stead of a "hlt-or-miss" selection, the shooters should be carefully looked over until one is found as near the build of our friend as may be, and his gun secured for th<* occasion. Thus equip ped, the beginner has a fair start, and, watched carefully against bad position habits, will quickly settle into the prop er swing, which will carry with it a confidence that must eventually spell mastery. Who Succeeds Herrmann Branch Rickey Candidate Chicago, 111., Nov. 9.—Add to the wild and weird, guesses as to who will suc ceed August Herrmann as chairman of the National Baseball Commission in case he is ousted the name of Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Browns. Rickey's name just now is being bandied about in circles where the Na tional Commission row is being talked most. Rickey was in Chicago on two recent occasions and both times he was long in conference with President Johnson of the American League. Offhand it would look as if nomina tion of Rickey for the job would bring from Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh, who is back of all the fuss, another protest. Rickey, it will be remembered was the fellow who brought pressure to bear upon George Sisler to quit Pittsburgh and join himself with the Browns. Morton's Arm Now Right; Bonesetter Rees Is Wonder Chicago, Nov. 9. "Bonesetter" Reese has snapped Morton's arm back into place and he's going to make Cleveland a pennant contender and possible winner in 1917. This information came from James C. Dunn, president and owner of the Cleveland Indians, to-day as he chat ted of his club's prospects for next season. Morton is one of the slab freaks of baseball and a rival of Walter John son for terrific speed. "Few persons may know it, but Morton pitches with a crooked arm," said Dunn. "It seems to be double jointed and is about as straight as the Missouri river. Morton might have won a flag for Cleveland last season had he not suf fered from misplaced ligaments in his right arm. ' -y Some Football Dope on Eastern Teams New York, Nov. 9. The bat tle for the Eastern football cham pionship has simmered down to five elevens. The unbeaten teams, showing their accomplishments, follow: W. L. T. P C. Pt. Yale 6 0 .. 260 20 Princeton t> 0 .. 135 3 Army 6 0 .. 18 4 24 Pittsburgh .... 5 0..174 19 Brown ....... 5 0 1 19 4 3 Three of the five teams are to clash later in the season. The Yale-Brown match next Saturday will eliminate one of the two, in ail likelihood, while the Yale-Prince ton affair on the 18 th may act as a knockout for the hopes of one or the other.

S. N. Loew, who is seventy-two, goes in swimming in the ocean every day, and he has been doing this every day for twenty years. If a new shooter enters your ranks, don't let him fight it out alone. If he lifts his gun as if it weighed a ton. and bends his back at an angle of 45 de grees, it is your cue, as a sportsman, to step forward and ask if you may pre sume to offer him a little advice based on your owni experience, and nine times out of ten, you will find that you have made a friend for life, for such are the refinements of the sport. Balanced well on both feet, body in clined slightly forward of the perpen dicular, with butt-plate of the gun well inside of the shoulder Joint, your new friend is headed l in the right direction, and you will soon see him breaking tar gets with creditable consistency.
