* 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

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

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

squarely over the uprights and the
game was Steelton's, score 9 to 7.

EASTERN TEAMS
REACH ZENITH
Eliminate Weaker Rivals;
Ohio State Leads in West
ern Race; Real Games
Philadelphia, Nov. 12.—Eastern col
lege football teams apparently reached
the zenith of their gridiron form in
Saturday's games, if the results can
be accepted as a criterion, when com
pared with the previous play of the
season. 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.

Murphy Is Big Star
in Ambulance Game
Philadelphia, Nov. 12. —The United
States Army Ambulance Corps team
from Allentown defeated the United
States Marines from Philadelphia
Navy Yard by 16 to 0 In a gridiron
clash on Franklin Field yesterday.
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. S. A. C.'s tallies.
Captain Mahan, skipper of the
Marine team and a famous star at
Harvard, pulled a tendon early In
the second period and had to leave
the game. Johnny Seott, formerly
of Lafayette, was pretty nearly the
whole team for the Marines, and
played one of the greatest Individual
games ever seen on Franklin Field.

NEW YORKERS TO
CONTINUE BOXING
Fans Enroll as Members to
Beat Frawley Bill; Many
Applications
New York, Nov. 12.—Despite the
fact that Governor Whitman decided
that the people of Greater New York
should not be permitted to witness
public exhibitions of boxing, that
form of sport still is very popular.
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.

Steelton people were much aroused
Saturday, and very properly so, over
reports that Harrisburg football
coaches feared disorder at the Tech-
Steelton football game. 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.
ACADEMY WINS
EASY VICTORY
Walk All Over Yeates Eleven
at Lancaster Saturday;
Stars in.Game
An easy victory was the result of
the Harrisburg Academy's pilgrim
age to Lancaster Saturday. The
Yeates school proved itself to be too
small a school for the Academy
schedule and will probably not be
played again in future seasons. This
was Yeates first irame and they were
a green team. The final score was
57 to 0.
Fumbles and short periods pre
vented a uch larger score. Yeates
fought hard until the game was
over. Yeates made only three first
downs, of which two was by the
aerial method, and one by an end
run. W. May was the Star of the
game, scoring seven out of the nine
touchdowns on end runs.
All these runs were for more than
twenty yards and one was for more
than eighty yards. Wren took L.
May's place at quarterback as the lat
ter has a sprained ankle and will
probably be out of the game for the
rest of the season.
The Game in Brief
Yeates won the toss and received,
Moore kicking for Harrisburg. The
ball went behind Yeates' goal line
and resulted in a touchback. Yeates
was held for downs on their twenty
five yard line and W. May took the
Ball on an end run for the blue and
gold's first, touchdown,
With the exception of the touch
back, the result of the' second kick
off was identical with the first. The
half ended with the score of 26 to 0,
with the ball on Yeates' thirty-five
yard line.
The 'second half was a repetition!
of the tirst. 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. There were
occasions when officials in this city
did not do as well as those at Steel
ton Saturday.
ij Gettysburg and Bucknell will play
■ in Harrisburg on Saturday. This is
• j the annual football classic for this
r city and, weather permitting, there
r will be a record-breaking crowd.
' Gettysburg is showing great form
and Bucknell may not find the bat
| tlelield warriors as easy as antici
i i pated. On Saturday, Gettysburg de
• feated Mt. St. Mary's eleven, score
i j 3X\ to 6. \
The Hassett Boys' Club will ho in
s j evidence before many moons. Bas
-11 ketball teams are in the making, and
, there will be several leagues. The
• regular team will include many well
known stars.
Yeates' goal line and Wren took the
hall over on a trick play. The other
three touchdowns were scored by W.
May 011 end runs. Yeates received
every kickoff except one and invari
ably lost the ball on downs. Their
only chance for a touchdown came
| just as the game closed, when they
completed two successive forwards
and brought the ball to the local
team's twenty-yard line. Here they
were again held for downs. The
lineup and summary:

Indians Easy For Army;
Oliphant in but Short Time
West Point, N. Y., Nov. 12. —In
spite of the fact that Stokes,
, Shrader, Vandegraff and Luce,, all
Varsity men, were not in the game
because of injuries, the Army men
ran away with the Carlisle Indians
, Saturday, 28 to 0.
the West Pointers flflshed all the
1 strength they could muster at the
outset of the game, but after the
, first quarter, the Cadets went
, through the contest with many sulj
stitutes in the line-up. **
Oliphant stayed in just one period,
. scoring two touchdowns and kick
; ing both resultant goals. The Ked
, skins once got to the Cadets' twent.v
--! five-yard line. This flash of offen
sive came at the end of the second
1 period, the whistle sounding just
• when the Indians seemed to be going
id at their best.
