SPORTS. ~Tech’s Good Teamvla N Well Supported by Mates CAPT. PUGH BLAZES WAY - TOMAROON AND GRAY WIN as Manual Trainers Score Over Old Rival for First Time Since 1915 in High School Series—Gordon Gets No Help. ' BY JOHN B. KELLER. I first time since 1915 triumphe: school gridiron championship series. Prior to the contest, Central adherents were confident that Miké" HAT foot ball is much more than a one-man game was demonstrated most thoroughly in Wilson Stadium yesterday, when Tech for the d over Central in the annual high Gordon, their backfield flash, would run roughshod over the Maroon and Gray, while Tech supporters were equally certain that Charley Pugh, their valiant captain, would race through the field practically unham- pered by Blue and White opposition. Pugh did and Gordon did not, a nd Tech won, 16 to 0, but Pugh ac- ¢omplished his feats because Tech had a team on the field, while Gordon got nowhere because he was forced to play a lone hand. round Pugh was gathered a Tech team drilled in fundamentals and well versed in strategy of the most mod- ern type. Apparently it knew whet 10 do and how to do it and completed its task with but few mistakes. Cen- tral bad no attack worthy of the name and steadfastly refused to ad- Just its defense to cope with the kind ! of foot ball put forth by the Manual, Trainers. The Blue and White put everything up to Gordon. and, though that voung athlete gave his ail, it was fmpossible for him to be an en- tire team. Pugh Well Supported. | Time and time again Pugh elec- | trified the more than 10,000 spectators jammed into the Columbia Heights inclosure with his sweeping end runs from kick formation and his brilliant dashes outside the taekles—did just the .thing that Central supporters “had expected of Gordon. But in mak- ing these runs Pugh had every Tech player with him. The Maroon and Gray forwards handily disposed of the opposing rushline, while the backs were equally adept at massed ©r screen interferences and gave their zaptain clear fields of much depth. Gordon had nothing like that to Belp him. Central offered nothing in attack that it had not used in earlier games, and after the first few min- utes of the fray Tech was master. The Tech tackles found it easy to crash through and retire the Cental backs, who seemingly had no conception of interference, leaving the ends free to cover the fleet Gordon. ¥or a time the Tech flankers tried to match their speed with the Central sprinter, but soon discovered that im- possible. Then they determined to - balk the Blue and White back with lateral screening, and that cnded Gor- don for the day. Forced across field, Gordon either was downed for a con- siderable loss by some Manual Train- er who managed to get behind him or driven past the sideline for little, if any, gain With Gordon covered so thoroughly most of the thrills of the game were provided by Pugh. This doughty warrior, who comes of a foct bail family ‘that 7as starred cn scholastic gridirons here for the past seven years, fairly scintillated in leading a iwam to victory over Central, an ac- complishment vainly sought by his brothers 1d and Jim, wko captained Tech teams before ' him, and not shared by brother Mike, who played at Western. Tech Captain Stars. Pugh brought the Tech rooting con- tingent to its feet soon after the #ame opened when he intercepted one of Gordon's passes and raced 88 vards before being forced out- side at Central's 6-vard line It was his foot that sent the ball over the bar for the extra voint following tho touchdown made a few moments after his long sprint. And in the third period the same foot propelled a drop-kick over goal from the 17- yard line, while in the final quarter| “the Tech’ captain plunged 3 yards for his team'’s last flock of points. Nor was Pugh idle outside of these scoring moments. Frequently when -Fech had been repulsed after trying Jine attacks and it seemed unlikely sthe necessary 10-vard total would be nade, Pugh would take the ball from kick formation for darts past tackle ar around end to a first down. De- fonsively he stopped many plays and alwayvs appeared able to dash yards across field to block Central passes. The little done by Central Gordon did. Several times he brushed past the Tech flanks for substantial gains, although twice the ball was recalled after long runs because a Central mayer had been detected off-side. Ounce Gordon caught the ball at kick- Off and traveled 37 yards before driven outside by Price, the only player between the runner and Tech's Zoal. Gordon starred on defense, too, generally being the one to overhaul Pugh when the latter was flying toward Central's zero mark. But these backs did not have the stage to themselves. Martin Gooch, ‘Tech fullback, often slammed into the Central forwards for yardage, and it was a 24-yard gain by this stocky hoy that paved the way to Tech's fourth-period touchdown. Tech's line- men also distinguished themselves, particularly those on the right side. Cline, at tackle, was somewhat slug- gish at the start, but once he found himsglf managed to get into practi- cally every play with great effective- ness, Brown's work at guard was notable, while Kessler and Wood, Maroon’ and Gray wingmen, gave the Dest exhibitions at the ends seen so far in the titular series. For Central, Gonzales worked hard at center, and made line plunging in his direction anything but easy for the Tech backs. The remainder of the Central line, whose charging was remarkable for its concertedness and intensity in other games, lost its drive after the first few minutes of play. Manual Trainers Score Early. Shortly after play started Central, with Gordon - heading the attack, reeled off a couple of first downs, moving play to midfield. Here Tech braced, and the Blue and White re- sorted to overhead offensive, but Pugh grabbed Gordon’s toss and got to Central'’s 6-yard line with the ball. With three successive plunges, Gooch went to a touchdown, and Pugh kicked the goal. ».Following Gordon's 37-yard run after catching the ball at kick-off, Central made its only real threat of the fray. Runs by Gordon, Johnson and Harper accounted for a pair of first downs and advanced play_to within 15 yards of Tech's goal. The Manual Trainers held and when Gon- zales made a high pass to Gordon on fourth down_got the ball on their 27- yard line. From that time on Tech was almost continually the aggressor. In the second period play generally was between the 25-vard lines, but Tech was in Central territory during the greater part of the third period and accumulated a trio of points. The Manual Trainers had -advanced to their opponents’ 35-yard line when Abey were penalized 15 yards, but Pugh with an end dash made it first down on the 25-yard line. Pugh got; 14-yards more past tackle and in two more plays Tech was at the 6-yard dine. Central held, but Pugh stepped ! back and drop-kicked a goal from the 1i-yard line. In the third play of the fourth pe- riod Gordon brushed by the Tech team and ran 70 yards to goal, but the ball was recalled and Central giv- en a first down at its 42-yard line, _where the runner had stepped out- side of bounds. Central soon punted to Tech's 20-yard line, but seven Tech plays, with Pugh and Gooch alternat- ing as ball carriers, gained 58 yards. ~—Pugh tried another drop-kick for {meal from fiéld, only to have the ball under the bar to a fouchback. But Tech was not“to be held from more points. Central forward passes and plunges failed and Tech took the 'ball ;on downs at the 29-yard mark. Pugh got 2 yards and Gooch 24. Gooch was given the ball again, but made no ‘headway. Pugh then jammed his way {to a touchdown. His goal try was ipartially blocked.

HARVARD-PRINCETON BATTLE IS TOPLINER By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 10.—With the annual Harvard-Princeton battle as its outstanding feature, but with many other engagements equally promising in thrills, college foot ball swings into the final stage of the 1923 season this afternoon, offering a schedule of games that will attract the greatest foot ball gatherings of the season, and on the results of which will depend the final ratings of many of the contesting elevens. The Princeton-Harvard contest at Palmer Memorial Stadium, which marks the twenty-sixth meeting of those universities since their series began in 1877, finds Harvard installed a slight favorite, but by no means certain of victory. # Each of the elevens has suffered one defeat, Har- vard losing ® Dartmouth and Prince- ton losing to Notre Dame: each also has been held to a tie, Middlebury turning the trick on the Crimson and Navy duplicating on the Tiger, and in consequence no championship, ex- cept that of the so-called big threc, is at stake. > Despite their unimpressive records, interest in the game is as keen as in years the eastern title has hinged on the outcome, and a crowd of 55, 000 will cram the Princeton horse- shoe. Ranking close to the Princeton- Harvard game in the matter of gen- eral interest is the meeting at_the Polo Grounds 6f Cornell and Colum- bia. For three years the Ithacans, coached by Gilmour Doble, have run roughshod over all foes, and although the big red team has been generally picked to win_ tod: engagement, the fact Columblia is coached by an- other master of foot ball, Percy Haughton, has aroused much specula- tion as to just how well the Ithacans will fare. Yale, at the bowl, will have Mary- land as its foe, and as Maryland suc- ceeded in inflicting upon Pennsylvania its single defeat of the season, & bat- tie bristling with action and one that ill test Yale to the limit is looked or. Other contests on which much at- tention will center are the meetings of Penn State and Georgia Tech, Pennsylvania and Lafayette, Syracuse and Boston University, Dartmouth and Brown, Army and Arkansas Ag- gles, Boston College and Centenary, Navy and St. Xavier and Williams and Wesleya: WEST POINT FIGURES IN UNIQUE BATTLE LITTLE ROCK, Ark., November 10.—A foot ball game unique in sev- eral ways will be played this after- noon at West Point, N. Y., when the elevens representing the United States Military Academy and the Second District Agricultural School of Arkansas meet. A remarkable feature of the game will be the un- usual discrepancy. in the size and standing of the two schoois repre- sented on the field. The Army for years has been rec- ognized as one of the leading insti- tutions of the kind in the world, while its foot ball teams have been regarded as among the best In the country. ° The Aggies come from a school that in few sections would be classed as-a college. It is one of four in- stitutions of the kind maintained by Arkansas, none- of them with as many as 400 students, and the cur- riculum is that.of the usual high school, with agricultural training added. The boys come mostly from the farm, many of them from the deep woods or the swamp sections, and their previous athletic training is_almost nil. ‘Within the state the schools have been' held lightly until recent years, when the sudden success of the Rus- sellville team brought with it tre- mendous enthusiasm somewhat like that arouped b; Centre College a few seasons ago. 'he team has met and beaten some of the smaller south- ‘western colleges, but few supporte ;:flhzme hope for a surprise at West n > THE EV - The Eckiords of 1858 might have passed for sedate members of a miastrel show. They were or- ganized June 27, 1855. They were one of four Brooklyn teams from which was drawn the picked nine that met the New York picked nine in the summer months of 1858 at what was known as the Fashion race coufse, on Long Island. It was a noteworthy con- test, for here, for the first time in the infant history of the game, gate money was taken in; here the first big crowd was drawn to- gether and here the betting evil raised its head. The picture herewith represents the Eckfords in the year follow- ing their first match with the Unions of Morrisania, when the Eckfords won, with a score of 22-8. There is no mistaking the dignity of the umpire in this pic- ture—in fact, in all early views of base ball his position is shown to be supreme. Note the confident way which Frank Pidgeon (in in the ERELY a matter of the way different coaches think. Some believe that six men on the line gives them a stronger formation for breaking up forward passes; others differ from them. Certain it is that seven men on the line are better able to stop a running attack than six. Teams vary their defense In so far as the number they play on the scrimmage line is concerned, accord- ing to the down and distance to be gained by the opposition and the zone wherein the opposition holds the ball. For convenience coaches jdivide the field into five zones. each of twenty .vards. As the attack moves out from its goal the style of play is somewhat different as a rule. A team will open up more as it approaches your goal, for the risk in losing the ball by intercepted forward passes is not so likely to defeat you as if you lost it to your opponents when near your own goal. *Coaches who are fortunate in hav- ing six forwards strong enough to stop a line attack, never put seven men on the line on defense. They prefer to use the extra man in the backfleld, in order to make sure the opponents cannot successfully open up @& forward passing game. Yet, these same teams—Vanderbilt is one —vary their play to this extent. They will put as many as eight men on the line when the opposition is punting near its own goal line. They figure on blocking or rushing the kick, a very sound principle of play at this point. A blocked kick here usually gets them a score and a rushed kick is usually a short one, so they get the ball near the opponent’s goal as a result, (Copyright, 1923 MACKIN AND APACHE GRIDDERS TO CLASH Mackin Athletic_Club will encoun- ter the ‘Apache Preps tomerrow at 11 o'clock on the Monument grounds in a game that will have considerable bearing on the junior foot ball title.

Even the glories of the curve—which Pidgeon knew not, though it is the basis of modern pitching—could not dim in the mind of “Father” Chadwick, the first base ball reporter, the glories of Frank Pidgeon’s pitching and that of some of his cotemporaries like Tom Dakin, Matty O'Brien and Tom Van Cott. The Eckfords were proud of their pitcher, Frank Pidgeon, just as all the old-time teams had their heroes. There is no meas- uring the praise that used to r‘ing from the lips of the ancient gen- eration of ball fans at the men- tion of Al Spalding, one of the first National League pitchers, whose percentages for the years 1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875 were .830, 729, 717 ‘and .89, respectively. Frank Pidgeon of the Eckfords, of a still earlier period, was also accounted among the few great, and is often mentioned alongside of James P. Creighton of the Brooklyn Excelsiors. Of a co- temporary period was Asa Brain- ard, who pitched for Wright's fa- mous Red Stockings of Cincin- nati, in 1869, at a salary of $1,100. STAR TEAM, AND PEOPLE ACT How Foot Ball Is Played y SOL METZG! THE QUESTION. ‘Why is it that some teams play six men on the fline when on defense and others seven? To stop a running attack you have to have a strong forward line, and any foot ball follower can sce that seven men are stronger than six. FootBallFacts DOUBLE PASSING BLOCKS LEFT END BLOCKS RIGHT END STARTS TO LEFT, IVING BALL FROM ERFERS What is your opinion of the double passing play? When should it be used? How? Answered by “JOHNNY” HEISMAN Coach of foot ball, Washington and Jefternon Uniyersity. Former coach, University of Pennsylvania. The 1917 Georgia Teeh team, which he conched, was unamimously’ chosen as the best team in the country. The double-pass—also known as the “criss-cross” and the “reverse”— was one of the earliest and best trick plays in the game. a good and dependable stock play with some of the best teams in the country, and that because it has been immeasurably improved b; coaches having worked out melhodg of giving it straight interfering sup- port. . The play should never be at- tempted near the side line, nor when the ball is less than thirty-five yards out from one's own goal, nor on last down. It is best to “spring” it sud- denly following a series of success- ful bucking assaults, when the op- posing tackles will have been drawn in-too close.

ILLINOIS-WISCONSIN GAME STIRS MIDWEST —— CHICAGO, November 10.—In the | undefeated Western Conference elev- ens will charge at each other toda by its foot ball ace, “Red” Grange, the other with a grim determination that disqualification of one of line stalwarts shall not bring disor- ganization and defeat. That struggle, between Illinois and Wisconsin, holds the center of interest in Big Ten cir. cles, with a strong possibility that the game will be one of the historic events of the 1923 season. The Badgers, minus the services who was declared & professional, will £o into the game under a_ handicap. Bentson has been picked by Coach Ryan to fill the hole left by Gerber, and Wisconsin still has a line ex pected to test all the strength and strategy possessed by the Illini. A defeat for Illinois today would give the Badgers a chance to fight for the championship when they meet the undefeated Michigan eleven a week hence. On the other hand, a win for the Illini would smooth the path in its steady march toward first honors. Not since 1917 has Illinois ge;;ued Wisconsin on an Illinois eld. Other Big Ten games have little bearing on the champlonship and next greatest interest is attracted to the Notre Dame-Nebraska game at Lincoln, Neb. Notre Dame, with vic- tories over Princeton, Army and Georgia Tech, invades Cornhusker territory with a determination to keep clean its intersectional contest record by revenging themselves on the Missouri valley champions for the defeat of a year ago. Chicago is favored to win from In- diana at Chicaga, but in the second division of the Big Fen. :urldue and Ohio State appear to be about evenly matched for their battle at Lafay- ette. In non-conference games, Michigan engages the Quantico Marines at Ann Arbor, with_the Wolverines the fav- orites, and Northwestern on Lake Forest at Evanston. Minnesota and Iowa are idle. G. U. AND C. U. FROSH ELEVENS TAKE TRIPS Freshman elevens of Georgetown and Catholic universities were to play on forelgn fields today,y the Brooklanders meeting the Naval Ap- rentice School-at Newport News, Va., and the Hilltoppers encountering the Naval Academy plebes at Annapolis, Md. Both local teams are in for toufh jobs, as their opponents are re- ported to be heavy and experienced elevens. Three school games are scheduled today. Lightweight teams of Central and Western were to meet in Wilson Stadium. Gonzaga planned to invade Garret Park, Md., for a tussle with Georgetown Prep. Emerson Institute is at Leesburs, Va., meeting the high school team of that place. & Swavely Prep ran roughshod over Devitt Prep yesterday, winnirg, 27 to 0. Devitt held its opponents score- less In the first half, but it could do little thereafter with the rushing of Hampton, Underhill, Smith and Cook.

In time the boycotts have been raised, more because of a newer generation that has grown up than because of the forgiveness of the older crowd. Chicago Fans Act. ‘When Kelly and Clarkson were sent from Chicago to Boston, the first really big purchase in the history of | base ball, there is no doudt that Chi- cago interest fell off, and that the ef- i fects were felt for a leng time. Oddly | enough, the transfer o those play- iers was made, not because of the amount that was involved, for the money was not needed, but for the reason that a continuation of cham- { pionships for Chicago threatened to stifle interest throughout the league. Later in the history of the National League the Cleveland club was led into the same altruistic policy by the blandishments of the New York club. George Davis, idol of the Cleveland fans, was exchanged for Buck Ewing in order that the fading hopes of the Gfants might be brightened. Davis made a great difference to the Giants, I but the Cleveland fans never forgave { the move. Years passed and Cleveland got over it. Other hands built base ball up In that city again. But mention the trade of Davis to ah old Cleve- land fan to this day and you will loose a tridae of bitterness. There was sentiment in the old days. But the lack of it—or rather of anything like the amount that once existed— is noticeable enough now, even though there has been a million-dol- lar world series. Up to St. Louis Club. Perhaps the Giants would like to get more than Hornshy from St Louis. Possibly they would like the first baseman of the St. Louis club, who would fit in admirably if he could be got, Its sheer nonsense to censure the Giants if they can make such a deal, because the right is legitimately ‘there to do it. If St Louis fans should get up and roar over any such a transaction, there would need be no recrimination for | the Giants. You can't buy if the other fellow won't sell. And therein lies the text of all base ball specula- tion. (Copyright, 1923.) DOWN THE ALLEYS Young Men's Shop.

These plans call for a ra Saturday, November 17, the closin day of the fall meeting at Churchill Downs. The distance would be one and one- eighth miles, equal weights, 126 pounds. The Kentucky Jockey Club would offer a purse of $10,000 and Harry F. Sinclair and Mr. Wiedemann would put up a side wager of $10,000 . The winner would receive 5,000 and the second horse $5,000. Negotiations for the match race were opened yesterday when Samuel C. Hildreth, trainer of Zev, wire Manager M. J. Winn of the Jock Club that in response to a challenge said to have been made by Mr. Wiede- mann to race In Memoriam against any three-year-old in the world, he would ship the Kentucky Derby win- ner to the Downs, provided a bet of $25,000 was arranged. lLater Mana- ger Winn said he had talked by tele- phone with Mr. Hildreth, who was in Baltimore, and that the proposition for a $10,000 purse and side bets of an equal amount by the owners looked fayorable. Robert Gilmore, trainer of In Me- morium, was said to have been satis- fied with the tentative conditions for the proposed race, but final approval from Wiedemann. who was scheduled to arrive here some time today, was awaited before the match could be considered finally ¥ MICHIGAN DEDICATES ATHLETIC STRUCTURE ANN ARBOR, Mich., November 10 The largest college building in tho world devoted exclusively to athletics, Yost Field House, will be dedicated today as a monument to the achieve- ment of Fielding H.
