Revenge for last years defeat in- spires Wisconsin against the reorgan- ized Michigan Wolverines. Capt.

The Maroon and Gray triumphed, 12 to 0, for the second consecu- tive year since 1915. Seldom has a Tech team presented a more eflicient forward wall. The Blue and White ball carriers found the Tech line a bulwark, as they registered but six first downs in the game. The Maroon and Gray first line defense went about its work like a machine, notwithstanding the fact that its members had never engaged in a high school titular match before year. en the fleet Mike Gordon failed dismally when he attempted to race past the sturdy Techites. Inability to open any gaps in the Maroon and Gray defense, lack of interference and failure to demonstrate they knew the fundamentals were the defects shown by Central. Tech possessed the nécessary punch when it threatened the Blue and White goal and doubtless would have made a bigger score but for several penalties. At no one time during the game did the Centralites actually threaten ‘to score, but they were deep in Tech territory in,the last period as a result of an over- head attack. They were held for downs, howeevr, and Tech kicked out of danger. After an exchange of punts in the early stages of the first period with neither team able to advance, the Techites unleashed an aerial attack, which put them in scoring distance. Turner gave a pretty exhibition of catching when he stretched for Kess- ler's heave near the side line. The pass mnetted 25 yards and was so heartening that Quarterback Kessler threw another, which Parsons caught, placing the oval on Central's 7-yard mark. A penalty, however, brought the pigskin back to the 22-yard mark ac the first period ended with neither team able to score. The Maroon and Gray linemen made it comparatively easy for Kess- ler, Wondrack, Parsons and Jones to advance in the second quarter. It was Kessler who scored the first touchdown as he he dashed past Cen- tral's left end for 10 yards. The Ma- roon and Gray probably would have scored earlier in the second quarter had Loftus not recovered a Tech fumble on the Blue and White's 20- vard line. Tech launched another drive early in the second half, but it was halted after a 15-yard penalty. A poor punt by Kessler gave Central the on its 35-yard line. At this stage of the game it was little Bobby Pugh, the last of the “House of Pugh” at Tech, who figured in a Ma- roon and Gray tally. He broke through the Central line, blocking Gordon’s kick, which was recovered by Jones on the Blue and White ard line. Wondrack took the oval Central entered the fourth period determined to score. Wilmer received a pass from Gordon, good for 15 yards to midfield. Then Gordon skirt- ed left end for another first-down, but a 15-yard penalty crushed the Blue and White's march, as another pass, Gordon to Byng, was a few vards shy of first-down. Kessler then kicked to midfield. It was quite an achievement for Hap Hardell to develop such a Tech team, which completely outplayed Central yesterday. He began practice with only one veteran in the squad. Central (0) Byng Van Meter Positions. * .. Quarterback. ‘Left haifback “Right halfback. Fullback.

DILG, President Izaak Walton League of America. O caught the only fish of the da: camp, and paddled out on the NCE while canoeing in Northern waters with two companions I y without rod or line. We had made lake to try to catch a fish or two for supper. These were three of us, and as my rod was packed away I elected to go along and sit in the bottom of Well, we paddled along the shore and my companions made many casts, but the fish were not biting. Then without warning, just as the man in the bow was lifting his lure from the water in preparation for the next cast, a large northern pike made a rush at it, missed it, and then, apparently unable to turn in time to avoid the canoe, shot into the air, cleared the gunwale cleanly, and landed squarely across my knees. It was the only fish caught that even- ing. A friend.of mine last Summer told me a story which I know was true and which I think is worth passing on. He was still-fishing for pike, using a minnow as bait. The wall- eyed pike is a slow biter,'and when my friend felt a gentle tugging at his line he made no move, waiting for the pike to take a good hold, so he could hook him. But, all of a sudden it seemed as the canoe and watch. though a stick of dynamite had ex- ploded on the end of that line. The fish made a rush so sudden and pow- erful that the rod was all but jerked from the fisherman's hands. He held on with all his might, however, and after a quarter of an hour of tug- ging he hauled in— A 12-pound northern pike and a 6-pound wall-eyed pike! The larger fish was hooked with the baited hook and the six-pounder Wwas strung on the line ahead of the other, the line passing in his mouth and out one of his gills. Apparently the pike had been mouthing the minnow when the big fellow made a rush at him and he darted away so- quickly that the minnow and the hook simply went out of his ;mouth by the side door: His gill. The larger fish then, apparently, seized the minnow and ‘was hooked. He had literally chased the other fish “up the line” \REVENGE IS SOUGHT ON DIXIE GRIDIRONS By the Associated Pre ATLANTA, Ga., October 25.—Scores of yesteryear are rising like specters |to haunt Southern foot ball players this afternoon as games of last sea- son are played again No correspondence course during the off season has been necessary to re- mind Alabama and Georgia Tech that they battled to a scoreless tie last season.

Dunphy was de- cidedly on his game against Standifer, while last year's club champion was far off the splendid game he has shown over the last two weeks. Kellerman won from J. W.

The - Kellerman-Stevinson _match was the best of the day, although Stevinson in the morning had just nosed out Albert R. MacKenzie on the last green. Kellerman won three of the first five holes, but Stevinson with a birdie 2 at the eighth, turned 2 down. Two down at the fourteenth, which he won with a par 4, Stevinson appeared certain to square the match when Kel- lerman's tee shot to the fifteenth found the ditch to hte left. Kellerman got a {half in 5, however, when Stevinson’'s pitch failed to hold the green.

LONDON, October —The New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox, in their second exhibition game in England, yesterday gave several thousand British “fans” a real demon- stration of big league base ball. The Giants won a thrilling game, 3 to 2, with a ninth-inning rally. Among the interested spectators were the Duke and Duchess of York The son of King George was received by Ambassador Kellogg and introduced to John McGraw, the Giant's manager. In addition, the duke met the players and insisted on shaking hands with each of them. The Giants, playing at their best, held on to a slim one-run lead until the eighth inning, when the Sox drove two runs over the plate. But the apparent victors had their seem- ing triumph snatched away by the New York rally, when two runs were scored. The Chicago infield made a triple play in the sixth. Frisch was on third and Young en first when Meusel hit a bounder to second, where Bancroft, after stepping, on the bag, threw to first for the ‘second putout. Mean- while, Frisch, either sieepy or incau had remained near third and trapped between there and home. Now and then many of the British ectators were moved to an expres- of their feelings. Occasionally some of the natives even clapped their hands and a few followed she example of the Americans present by using their vocal cords somewhat strenuous- Iy, but they were the exception. The field was soggy. Pitchers often slipped in fielding bunts. There were no home runs, as it had been decided before the game that a hit into the stands would be good for only a two- bagger. But Bancroft, in the eighth, laced a triple to right field, the ball bounding over Meusel's head. His drive scored Mostil, and he himself came in on a single by Rice. Stengel twice get doubles into the bleachers and thus drove in all three Giant runs. Score by innings Giants LN White Batte Tiny 010000 $0x 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 s—Giants.

Also, it demanded some very considerable figuring out. But with a national championship at stake, my difficulty had to be solved, if possible! As neary as I can remember, T was between 40 and 50 yards from the flag. Standing ankle deep in water and mire, I took a deep-faced mashie, hit pretty well behind my ball and laid it only a few inches from the cup. If some of the mud hadn't clung to it, it would have holed out. But the incumbrance was just a bit too mucl of a drag on it. I was down in Many a time I have holed mash shots from considerable distances off the green: but I consider none of them as good as this one, which I missed. - Alex Smith put up a great game that day.

There are no twe xolfers in the world who ean do things exactly ke. This is an individual game and each player must find exactly what suits him, then stick to it. There are certatn things which ca be adopted, such as having the toes turmed outward, because this is an item of technique that has been proved to be the mowt resultful. It is so because it enables the right foot to get more purchase on the ball at the moment of con- tact, the foot being able, with the toes turned out, to get a firmer hold against the ground. However, trying to fit yourself exactly te anothers precise playing positions will try your paticnce more than anything elxe you could adopt in golf. Play your own game. (Copyright, John F.
