AGE TEN. Che Casper Sunday Crihune World Results By Leased Wire CASPER GRID WARRIORS DEFEAT LANDER HIGH GREAT SCORE 1S ROLLED UP IN SEASON OPENER New Football Stars of High School Break Into Limelight. Lander’s high school elev- en was stampeded up and down the local gridiron yes- terday afternoon when Cas- per’s moleskin lads made a fiasco out of the season’s football opener. The game ended with a score of 52 perched on the local goal posts and a weary zero disconsolately Limping off the field behind of the defeated Landerites, Stanton broke away on the initial Kickoff from Lander with an 80-yard run for a touchdown that netted Casper seven points. Twice more during the game he scored. At quarterback Davis plunged through the Blue from western Wyoming ence. McKelvey ripped across the chalk lines in every quarter, adding dozens of yards at a time to Casper's gains. He clipped across the out siders’ goal line once. Archambault jammed his way over the tell-tale mark twice before the final whistle blew. 2 ‘The ball was kept in Lander terrl- tory practically all of the time with the Fremont county team scrapping and slipping back under every of- fensive play. No impression was made by them when on the aggres. sive against the beef hurled in their way by the local squad. No especial credit is due the orange and black squads for their practice fracas yesterday. In the third quarter Casper’s second team played a five-minute take-off against the bi from “the end of the rail- road." The second team was then replaced by the third which finished the quarter and managed to more than hold its own. Though it wa’ reported prior to the game that Lander was not sur- passed by Casper in weight it was shown on the field Saturday after- noon that Natrona county heftiness noticeably exceeded that carried around by the padded clan from Lander. Considerable fight was put up by the invaders but dire lack of train- ing so handicapped them as to make impossible a single touchdown. If anything featured their playing it was fumbling and poor centering. Increased girth of chest undoubt- edly has made itself felt under the Jerseys of the Casper eleven. Such elation is unwarranted by yester- exhibition. On the other hand, physical value alone the local squad is in A class, for potential teamwork it is well lined up. There is every reason to believe that in coming conflicts with more experi- enced and equal teams Casper will be a winner. ‘The Casper lineup was: Left end, Brittain; left tackle, Cody; left guard, Van Doren; center, Shikany; right guard, Thompson; right tackle, BShikany; right end, Bell; quarter- back, Davi left half, McKelvey; right half, Stanton; fullback, Arch- ambault. First in News Of All Events M’GRAW IS GREATEST CHIEF IN BASEBALL FARRELL DECLARES BY HENRY L. FARRELL (Cnited Press Sports Editor) W YORK, (United Press}—Oct. 6—Figures show and the fans know that John J. McGraw is the greatest manager that ever handled a major league baseball club. No other manager in the past has done what the fiery leader of the Giants has accomplished and it is doubtful if the record that he fs adding to year by year ever will be equalled or sur- passed. Since he assumed the manage- ment of the New York Giants, Mc- Graw has won nine National league pennants and he has carried three teams through to the cham pionship in the world’s series. No manager of his day, with thi exception of Connie Mack, can ap: proach his record and McGraw’s rec- ord over a period of years shades that of the slim leader of the Phila delphia Athletics almost into insig- nificance, Mack has three world’s champion. ships to his credit and six American league pennants, but in adversity he nas been as consistent as he was in prosperity, and his record is clouded by seven years in the cellar, while McGraw only once in his career has failed to get the Glants above t last place. A Wonderful Record. Nine firsts, eight seconds, one third, two fourths and only one in st place gives McGraw a record for success in his line that has not been equalled in any line of sport. McGraw has been successful be: cause he knows baseball from its very foundation; because he has the quality of leadership, the tendency toward strict discipline, keen judg- ment of players and the resources to obtain promising material and de- velop it. McGraw's teams are always smart ball clubs, because he knows base: ball, becauso he has the ability to tedch it and because he will have in his club only those players who are able of thinking baseball as well as playing the mechanics of the game. It has been pointed out in the past that McGraw lacks the ability to judge young ball players because so many of them have developed intc stars after they had been turned away from the Giants. The peculiar disposition of the Giant leader to be only an opportunist has caused him to part company with many ball players when ho kriew better than anyone else that they wae going to develop into great players. He acts on the theory that he has to build teams for today and !f he needs something else tomorrow he will have to take his chances on getting it. Right now the Giants have in Jackson and Maguire two of the fin- est young infieldera in baseball, but he does not need them, If he felt the necessity of strengthening his outfield or his pitching staff and could arrange a deal he would let either one or both of them go, al. though he is aware of their ability. Must Pinay McGraw's Way McGraw knows ball players and he know what they can do for him It isn’t every good ball player who can play for McGraw, however, and the player, no matter how good he is, who will not play McGraw's kind of baseball will not be tolerated on the club. The nt leader has done a lot for GIANT BACKERS LOOKING FOR ODDS, BETTING IS BRISK AS WORLD SERIES NEW YORK, Oct. IES PLAE LOOMS 6.—(United , Giants, expressed the fear that the| victory, baseball and the game has been very good to him. He is a stockholder and vice president of the club and 1s reputed to be a wealthy man. Once McGraw was the most ag gressive manager in baseball. He was a terror to umpires and oppos. ing players. His teams were of the samo reckless and daring spirit, ready to fight and willing to battle at the slightest provocation. Years have softened the disposi tion of McGraw, however, and he is one of the most placid managers tr. the big leagues. His players do not ride umpires or players. McGraw seldom puts on a uniform and he eldom brings himself from the se: clusion of the bench. HUGGINS DUCKS THE SPOTLIGHT. By HENRY L. FARRELL. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—(United Press}—Winning the third straight American league pennant for New York proved such an easy job for the Yankees that it rather detracted or perhaps made less positive, the credit that little Miller Huggins de- serves for his success in handling the team. ‘The Yanks were almost a cinch for the pennant from the beginning of » season. Critics were almost un animous in picking the champions of 1921 and 1922 to repeat and they more than lived up to expectations and predictions. Huggins had an {mportant part in guiding the team through a success- ful season. His task was not so much to get the best out of his fine aterial as it was to prevent them om doing their worst through over- confidence and an inclination to take things easy. ‘The little manager of the club was fortified with a wonderful pitching staff and he displayed some skill in andling his staff so that they re- ained in form through the entire ason. Worked Under Cover. His work has been under cover and the fans who base their judg- ment upon superficial evidence find nothing much in the victory of the Yanks that could be construed as a vindication of @ capable manager who has never appealed to New Yorkers. Regardless of the fact that it ts something of a feat to win three pennants jn succession even with a star team, Huggins gets little credit and his reward is the comment that they should have had the pennant cinched !n August and that any manager could win with that kind of a team.

TIGRS TAKE MEASURE OF | WYOMING COWBOYS, 34 TO 7, BLANCHARD STARSFOR STATE LARAMIE, Wyo., Oct. 6.—(Special to The Tribune) .— The Cowboys took the count from Colorado college today to the tune of 34 to 7. Local fans got their thrill in the second quarter when Miller blocked a Tiger kick and re- turned the ball well into enemy territory. Then followed two long forward passes delivered in baseball style by gain and Miller caught over the Tiger kicked goal. With the score 12 to 7 {t looked like Wyoming was due for another touchdown but the gun ended the half. The visitors scored early in the third period, definitely deciding the victor. Captain Wittenbraker, Miller and Blanchard were the local stars while for Colorado college Delaney, Burk- hart and Hunter were outstanding. The Tiger line was a marvel and their interference unusually strong. Wyoming's green team showed flashes of style but her defensive play was not up to that digp'ayed against the powerful Aggies last week. Vandaveer was pulled and Blanch- ard shifted to end during the game. Scott, former Casper star was not used owing to a bad ankle. the second goal. Corbett to defeat before the su Chicago, 3 and 2.
