Mr. Strock has been president of the college at Guntur, Indite. * MONDAY EVENINq, STEELTON OUTPLAYS TECH IN GREAT EXHIBITION; DAYHOFF IS ONE BIG STAR Clean Sport From Start to Finish With Both Sides Eliminating Rough Play; Officials Fair in Their Decisions; No Ground For Criticisms Offered Captain Dayhoff's field goalttro t the 33-yard line near the close ofi the game sent Steelton "over the top" a winner against Tech by a 9 to 7 score Saturday afternoon on Cot- ] tage Hill field. Dayhoff also tallied a touchdown in the first quarter after fourteen minutes of play, but missed the resultant goal. The contest was played before one j of the largest crowds that ever as sembled on the Steelton Held, and: was oije of the most spectacular in the history of local football. After Steelton had led at the close of the I tirst half by a ti to 0 tally, Beck, thej Tech halfback received a punt in thej third period and dashed through thei entire Blue and White field for a '<o-| yard touchdown. It was a brilliant; piece of work and gave Tech the 1 lead until within seven minutes ofi the close of the contest. Then thej iield goal was made possible by an-' other spectacular play, a forward I pass from Dayhoff to Coleman, thati netted twenty-tive yards and which! paved the way for the three-pointer ' that brought the victory. Steelton's Game From start to tinish it was Steel-i ton's game, although Tech did have| a slight margin for half of the. final! period. The Maroon players lacked j the dash, vim, snap and "pep" that! has characterized their work in the| Altoona, Steelton and Greensburg; games. Steelton deserved to win| because they were the better tun| Saturday. The line that crumpled under the attack of the Tech piayers I two weeks ago, held like a stone wall,] and Tech made only seven first downs from scrimmage during the' entire contest. Steelton had ten. I Frock was off color at the center position, and it was his poor pass] to Beck that threw away the game Inj the first quarter. On a last down thei team lined up with Beck in a posi-! t ion to kick from his own 30-yard j line. Frock's pass was ten feet over: Beck's head, and when the Maroon i player finally got his hands on thei pigskin he was downed on his own' 4-yard line, with the ball going to | Steelton. On tirst plunge the! Steelton captain carried the ball | across, but missed an easy goal. j Coach Ryan, who told of the pro-j tests and criticisms of officials, was! not with the team. The players iin-i doubtedly missed his advice between I the halves, as they failed to change i their style of play, when bucking the] line failed to bring the desired re-J suits. More end runs and open plays' should have been tried, is the belief.. Game Was Clean One featurf of the game was the' fact that there was but one penalty! during the entire lifty-six minutes of play. Steelton was penalized in thej first quarter a distance of five yards I for being offside. Players as a whole did their best to eliminate the! "rough stuff." The' borough force of police was! augmented by officers from the Steel j company and the Pennsylvania rail-j road. Following the game, rooters i carried off Captain Dayhoff on their! shoulders. Later a parade followed! over the principal streets to the resi-j dence of former Coach Taggart, who has been on the sick list for some time. The students were headed by the Steel company's band. The game! in detail: First Quarter Steelton won the toss and at 2.501 Ebner kicked off to Captain Dayhoff! who ran the ball back a distance of I thirty yards before being downed.i Weuschinski failed to gain through j < enter. but Dayhoff made six yards around the left end. Krout made two I yards, but the team failed to make further headway, and it was Tech's ball on Steelton's 36-yard line. Tech & GraniJand. JMce Copyrl/jht, 117. Th Tribune Association tNe*' York Tribune®. A\SWKRIN A POPULAR SONG "Where do we go from here?'' you ask, "Where do we go from here?" We're going through, if you care to know. We're going ahead with the winning blow; We're going out for the conquering iscore, Whetehr it takes one year—or four, ' With all we've got and something more, Kor our Uncle Sam, when he lakes the bit. Isn't the kind of a'guy to quit, Or to duck a scrap till the job is done And he's driven over the winning run. "Do you ever recall," wYites a reader, "ever running across a golfer, who was on his game?" Offhand, we recall one case. The golfer in question had never been be low 90 in his life. That day he had an 81. He admitted then that he was Anally geting back upon his game. "Now, that It's all well back in the past," writes another non-combatant, "don't you think, man for man, the Giants were a better club ihan the White Sox, despite the result?" Tho White Sox won more games in the American League than the Giants won In tho National. In the world series they beat the Giants four games out of six. Doesn't that about close out the rebuttal? THE TOI* PICK Colonel Damon Runyon a day or two ago had us listed as backing Willie Heston for football's leading sprig of laurel. We pick Willie as football's greatest ground-gaining, offensive backfield man. But for all around football supremacy for the Rceptre-wielder in the Throne Boom of the game, we string with William B. Hanna and cast our vote for .Ilin Thorpe. Thorpe was only a faint shade back, of Heston as a ground-gaining back. In addition to his great rushing ability, he was also a line punter, a keen place kicker, a first-class drop kicker, a defensive star, and all the bally rest of It, Thorpe could do more things in football well than any man wo over tsaw. He could crash Into ft line, and he was as elusive in a broken field as a startled deer. He was also an adept at either wing of the forward passing game, Thfre w.ere far more angles to. football in Thorpe's day than there were in Heston's. In the days when the Wolverine monarch ruled there were few of the fntricate details which full to the lot of the modern back. In those 'lays Heston was the king. He could pick up speed faster than any halfback In history, having beaten Archie liahn frequently In a 40-yard dash. He started like a flash, and he struck a, line with the smash of 10-inch tthell. But .he lacked Thorpe's amazing versatility, and so for all around worth the Indian gets the call. NERVE AND NERVES "This war," observes a leading commentator, "is a matter of nerve nnd nerves." Most competitions are, save where one side Is totally outclassed by the other. And there have been any number of entries who had nerve enough, ns nerve is understood, but whose nerves became too frazzled to stand the long siege. In the recent world series the Giants had nervo enough. But their nervous system was not properly attuned. The Boston Bed Sox in World series warfare were the best examples of nerves under control the last decade has shown. A higlistrung contender may have any amount of nerve. But his nerves, uncontrolled, may beat him,' This war is undoubtedly a matter of nerve and nerves. There will be more than sufficient nerve shown, by troops at the front. The deciding fac tor be the nerves of the people back of the lines. was forced to kick after the required number of bounds, and Ebner kick ed the ball out on Steelton's 20-yard line from where play was resumed. Dayhoff kicked at once and Beck was downed on Steelton's 35-yard line. Wilsbach and Ebner gained five yards. Tech tried an onside kick, but Dayhoff covered the ball on Steelton's 24-yard line. Weu schinski lost three yards, but Dayhoff made a like number in a line plunge. Coleman made three more yards. Failing to gain, Captain Lloyd tried a Held goal, but the attempt was blocked and Tech recovered the ball. A moment later Lloyd essayed a iield goal from the 30-yard line, but the kick went too low, and Steel ton put the ball in play on their own 20-yard line. Coleman made nine yards around right end. and Dayhoff made it a lirst down. Kohl man stopped Coleman without gain ing an inch. A forward pass failed. Dayhoff kicked to Lloyd and it was Tech's ball onlits own 47-yard line. It was the firsrt time of the contest the ball was in Maroon territory. Ebner lost two yards and Wilsbach was thrown for a yard loss. Signal ling for a kick Frock made a pass at this juncture on the final down that paved the way for the first tally. The pass rolled almost to the goal posts and it was Steelton's ball with four yards to go. Dayhoff was equal to the emergency on the ilrst, but failed at the goal. Score, Steelton, 6; Tecti. 0. A moment later the quar ter ended. Second Half Morrett kicked to Lloyd who brought back the ball to the 30- yard line. Wilsbach lost a yard, and Brough failed to gain. Wilabo.ch made one foot. Kohlman took time out. Frock made another miserable pass, and Steelton forwards smoth ered Beck before he could kick. The misplay gave Steelton the ball, but they were unable to advance it and Tech soon got possession of the leather on their own 30-yard line. Wilsbach, Ebner and Beck made it a tirst down. Ber-k failed to gain on a fake kick formation. Kohlman vas injured in the mixup, but resumed play after two minutes. Wilsbach made two yards. Weuschinski struck a snag in the Tech line, but Cole man squirmed through for three yards. Failing to make the dis tance. Dayhoff kicked to Beck who got the ball and raced seventy yards lor the lone Tech touchdown. Wils mach added a point, making the score, Tech. 7; Steelton. 6. Final Period The fourth and final period be gan with Steelton having the ball on Tech's 39-yarcr line. After the ball had changed hands several times, Steelton had the ball for a last down, and was forced to kick. Dayhoff's good left foot booted the ball squarely over the uprights and the game was Steelton's, score 9 to 7. The lineup and summary: Tech. Steelton. Kohlman. I.e. McCauley, I.e. • Brough. l.t.

Almost without exception, the elevens battled true to the stand ards expected, and there was not an upset to mar the serenity of the pigskin prophets. Where close games were forecast, clost contests developed, and by ovei whelming scores stronger combina tions eliminated their weaker rivals. Not in many seasons had there been a day when topheavy scores were so prevalent.' Some idea of the number of touchdowns made can be gained from the fact that in twenty games, selected almost at random, the com bined score of the winning teams was 678 to the losers' 54. Two Kenl Game* Two games stand out in this riot of scoring with startling vividness, owing to the closeness of the strug gle and the final result. Pennsylva nia fought Dartmouth to a standstill and won In the closing period of play. Pittsburgh and Washington and Jefferson had a hammer-and-tongs battle, in which both elevens dis played remarkable football and play ing spirit. The Panthers finally emerged victors by the narrow mar gin of three points, but the game was in doubt until the closing minute ot the contest. Both teams showed' sensational streaks of offensive and defensive work, but the efforts of Pittsburgh were better sustained atid this was the winning factor. Cornell's visit visit to Ann Arbor ended in a disastrous defeat at the hands or the Michigan eleven, which proved far too strong and well equipped with clever plays for tlie , Ithaca team Except for a few mo il ents during the first period. Cornell was never dangerous, and as the con test progressed appeared to become bewildered by the constantly shifting attack and individual brilliancy ot the Wolverines. Ohio State I.endH Went The powerful Ohio State football eleven is within striking distance oi its secohd successive Western Con ference championship. The Buckeyes • continued their unchecked drive yes terday, crushing Wisconsin, 16 to 3. and will meet the undefeated Illinois team at Columbus next Saturday in a game that probably will decide the I♦ 17 honors of the "Big Ten.' Michi gan. admitted to be a power, is not regarded as a contender for tne championship as it only has one Con ference game scheduled. Considering comparative critics favor Ohio as titlewinner. The Buckeyes rolled up a la r? e^ l ,, sco i '. e against Wisconsin than did Illinois, which defeated the Badgers 7 to 0. In six games the Ohio team has scored 274 points, while its registered only seventeen. Illinois has kept Its goal clean and lias rolled up an even 100 points in li\e S Michigan's 42 to 0 rout of Cornell in one of the most important inter sectional contests of the season dem onstrated that Coach >ost has de . eloped one of the most P o *"'" 1 teams that ever represented Mich gan. Veteran critics of the Wol vermes declare that Michigan has tne fastest line in its history. Wolverine Victory The triumph Saturday was the first the Wolverines had scored over f or nell in four years. Five minutes after the opening whistle blew it v/as obvious that Michigan was the better team. Archie Weston, the lightest quarterback Michigan ever had, played a sparkling game. W es ton, who scales about 14a pounds, scored three of the touchdowns and displayed remarkable skill as open field runner. Northwestern displayed a dash ot its ISIC form in taking the Michigan Aggies into camp, 39 to 6. The spirit of play and unity of effectiveness was a revelation over early season games. It was the sixth straight defeat for the Aggies, who, in former years, have been regarded as a power on western gridirons. Morningside gave Notre Dame. queror of the Army, the stiffest kind of a battle that surprised even the Most hopeful followers of the lowa institution. For the first two periods Notre Dame was held scoreless, but II anaged to bag a IS to 0 victory which, however, proved costly, as liipp the right halfback, sustained a broken ankle when he plunged into a fence skirting the field.

CENTRAL WINNER IN LAST GAME Shows Better Form Than Reading High in Satur day's Contest Central High was victorious on Saturday in the game with Reading High, score 27 to 0. It was not an easy victory. Kcatling presented a stubborn team ana iiuu in tneu- line up some speedy uoys wno Kept the Central players on edge throughout tne game. Tne local eleven scored 25 llrst downs, wiiile Heading tallied out six. On tnree occasions Reading held Central tor downs witn tne oall ai uioat over the goal line. There were nui.i clous interesting features, in cluding a clever forward pass from Joiiiioon to Abrams which resulted in a touchdown .However, the piay was not allowed because a Central player| was tackled while trying to intercept ihe forward pass. .Head ing had several puzzling pio ioi aiuticus and made good gains, but were unatne to score.

Three goals from the field by young Mike Murphy, son of the famous Mike Murphy, Penn's athletic trainer: a touchdown by Cubbage after tak ing a forward pass from this same Murphy, and a goal following the touchdown by Murphy accounted for the U.

The truth of the assertion is proved by the rush of patrons to qualify as members of the various clubs in this city, and their evident eagerness to attend bouts without reference to the means by which their wishes are gratified. .From the day that the Frawley law repeal bill was jammed through the State Legislature, the promoters of this ity have been busily engaged in perfecting their membership plans, and to-day each of the ten clubs located in Greater New York is prepared to proceed on that basis. Many Applications A canvass of these clubs showed that 26,000 have signed application cards, and these merely represent the regular patrons of the various clubs who live in the vicinity of the club houses. Each club has a large clien tele composed of residents of its neighborhood, and these are to be found at the ringside every night that bouts are staged. The figures indicate approximately the number that would attend each set of bouts of ordinary quality. These are regulars, who get seats at every entertainment In the nearest boxing clubs.. But the statistics do not show the attendance at any club when bouts of extraordinary attrac tiveness are staged. On such'occa sions the patrons come from all over the city and jam the clubhouse. This was the case at the Leonard-Johnson contest at the Harlem Sporting Club, when there was such a rush that thousands were unable to gain ad mittance. General Interest Not Shown The figures do not begin to show the general interest in a bout of the first quality in an arena sufficiently large to accommodate a proportion of those who would like to see the contest, for on such occasions the promoters have put the prices so high as to keep down the numbers. Beyond doubt fifty thousand persons would have attended the Wlllard- Morart bout could they have obtained tickets at reasonable prices, and, therefore, when the Legislature re pealed the Frawley law that body served notice on fifty thousand New Yorkers that they could not have a sport to which they were partial. Closely following this action by the Legislature the Federal military au thorities set the stamp of their ap proval' on boxing as an admirable means of fitting soldiers for duty at the front, so that at present the citizens of New York are by legisla tive edict denied as civilians a sport that by the national government Is declared to be a good thing for the soldiers. However, the membership plan is quite likely to successfully in tervene and give the patrons of box ing their favorite sport until such tin)e as a new law, to be introduced by Assemblyman McCue, is put into operation.

That there was no ground for these widely pub lished reflections upon the town's good name for fair play, is shown by the results. -Steelton has never given any team ground for complaint. Neither do the police have trouble at games. Sport in Steelton is backed by the good people of the town and not by rowdies. Those folks of Har risburg who cast improper reflec tions upon the town's fair reputation owe Steelton an apology, in the light of events. The unexpected happened at Steel ton Saturday. Steelton won and de served the victory. There was no trouble, and the officials all give evidence that they knew their busi ness. Those reports circulated Sat urday before the game threw a big scare into Tech players, and they went into the game with little "pep." Two Tech players, according to re ports, had no heart, in Saturday's game at Steelton. They lacked the punch that played a big factor in previous games. While Tech had no training table, there are rules to fol low during the season, and those rules should be obeyed. Late hours are not a good thing for any athlete, especially before an important con test.

Miller scored a touch-1 down by falling on a fumble'behinc With no desire to take any credit away from Steelton for the victory on Saturday, it is the general be lief t! at things would have been dif ferent had Coach Ryan been on the job. Running away from so im portant a battle, in the opinion of many local fans who swear by Tech, is inexcusable. It looks as if Coach Ryan was bad ly scared, too, by the reports. All the talk may have been for the pur pose of putting Tech followers up in the air. It was evident from the start that nothing was going to hap pen except football.
