Biever, Marysville's veteran tosscr, had a slight edge on Strieker, the West End star, in the five games. An equal number of hits was re corded oft the delivery of each, al though by reason of difference in times at bat, Biever had the better record. In strikeouts, he had the edge on Strieker, fanning 49 men as compared to 42 for Strieker. Again. Biever was steadier through out the series and walked but a single batsman, the first man up in the first inning of the first game. Strieker issued five passes, all of them going to "Chick" Butter, Marysville's third sacker. In base steealing, Marysville again had the edge on West End, pilfer ing nine sacks as compared to eight stolen by the uptowners. Gerdes ar.d Moore, of Marysville, lead with three each. "Bill" Euker, McCord and "Tim" Euker, of West End, follotv with two each. Six of the West End thefts came in the first game, but after that uptown runners were able to take few liberties on Hippensteel's arm. Good Sacrificing Marysville brought the sacrifice play into use with greater frequency than any other team. Six times the 'cross-river players used this method of advancing the runner, Moore laying down bunts three times while Rutter had one sacrifice hit and one sacrifice fly. Every player in the series against whom a time at bat has been re corded, with the exception of Gerdes, has been fanned by the opposing batsmen. "Bill" Shafer, West End third sacker. kept his record clear for the first three games, but whiffed once each in the fourth and fifth. "Leger" Stees, of Marysville, lead in strikeouts, fanning 9 times. Strieker and Palmer, of West End, each whiffed seven times. In numbers of men left on bases, things were even. Twenty-three men of each team were loft anchored by their team-mates. West End had ten men to die in the first game as compared to Marysville's three. In the next two games, things were even, but in the two final games, Marysville had more men left on base. The figures follow: Thanksgtving Day—the fiftieth anni versary of their first meeting on the gridiron, it was announced here last night. Following the unique match, "Big Bill" Edwards, chairman of the Princeton committee In charge of the pageant, plans to call a ten minute game, in which no score wilt be kept, between the 1919 teams of the two universities.
