Stiff Opposition Yale Touchdown Is Ruled Illegal By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 14.—Georgia beat Yale by a score of 18-14, but under the rules the final count should have been 18-7. Yale's sec-, ond touchdown was scored on an illegal play, but no one noticed it for 24 hours. On the play in_question, Yale kicked off. The ball Janded in the arms of Kelly, Georgia back, who ran a few steps before he was hit hard by Capt. Vincent of Yale. The ball bounded from his arms into the hands of Barres of Yalz, who dashed over the goal line. There was no protest from the Georgians when the touchdown was allowed, but rule 6, governing the kick-off, says: “If the ball is recovered by a player of the recelving team before it i declared dead, he may run with it, pass it backward or kick it; if the ball is recovered by a player of the kicking team the is dead " SATURDAY'S CLASH FIRST OF SEVERAL Others, Marylahd Especially, Sure to Have Hands Full This Week End. BY H. C. BYRD. N meeting Western Maryland in ¥ l Baltimore Saturday, George- town plays what is likely to be | one of its hardest games of | the season, but this is only the be- | ginning. Next week it has another | difficult contest, the week after| that another, and so on until the season ends. The Blue and Gray | so far has met opponents that | have been little more than set-ups, | but from now on the story is dif- | ferent. Not one of the contests remaining on the Blue and Gray schedule holds forth any prospect | other than that of a grueling struggle, with the chances little better than even either way. Saturday the Western Maryland game will try the mettle of Mills’ play- ers, and if the Blue and Gray winds up its first hard test with a victory it commissioner of the Eastern Association for the Selection of Foot Ball ‘Officials, de- clared the rule provided that the kicking team may not run wita the ball if recovered on a kick-off, the ball being considered a kicked ball until it is declared dead. Referee W. T. Halloran of Prov- idence, who handled the game, said the officials had concurred in their opinion that the touchdown was le- gal. He said the idea of the loose ball being called an ordinary fumble was not considered by the officials since the ball did not touch the 1 will open to congratulations _for having done remarkably well. The Western Maryland eleven is strong and Georgetown is going to know it has been in a foot ball game, irrespective of the result. But the local eleven gets 1o respite after that, as it must face . West Virginia here the following week, and Wesi Virginia always is strong enough to give any of the major teams a great fight. It was wezker perhaps last season than it has been in 15 years. Michigan State Strong. On November 1 Michigan State Col- lege comes here and Michigan State just 8 little more than a week ago held the Univetsity of Michigan to a 0-to-0 tie.

ESTMINSTER, October 14— | Western Maryland will have a couple of new plays for the big game of the season against Georgetown at the Baltimore Stadium on Saturday. Dick Harlow, coach of the Green Terrors, said today that he had worked | out a few special plays for the Wash- ingtonians. All of which ‘means that Coach Tom Mills' Georgetown eleven had better be :'l eyes when it tackles Western Klaryland for the second straight year.

Western Maryland's players came | out of the St. John's contest without ! injury. Virtually the same team that started the game last Friday night will take the field Saturday at the Baltimore | Stadium. Seven of the players who are slated to open -proceedings this week end were in the struggle last year. The missing | men are Havens, center, who was such a power in the middle of the line; Gom- eak, the plunging fullback; Baker, a hard-working end, and Weisbeck, guard.

EW YORK, October 14.—It was officially announced at Ebbets Field today by Dave Driscoll, business manager of the Brook- lyn Base Ball Club, that the Dodgers had obtained PFrank (Lefty) O'Doul, leftfielder, and FPresco Phillies in exchange for Pitchers Jim | Elliott and Clise Dudley, Outfielder Hal Lee, and a pocketful of cash.

Baker, pres- | ident of the Phillies, was not announc- | ed, but it is believed to be about $50,000. The value of the three players sent to | the Phillies is placed at $40,000, with | Elliott representing half the amount. The trede, the first to be made be- tween major league teams since the | close of the 1930 season, had been in | the making for several months. It | would have been made sooner but for a slight hitch in early negotiations. At first Baker wanted Bill Clark instead of Elliott, but York refused to | include Clark in the deal. Baker then got into communication with Burt Shotton, manager of the Phillies, and | the Philadelphia pilot agreed to take Elliott. The road was then paved for | the culmination of the swap. In so0 far as playing material is con- cerned, the Dodgers got the better of the deal. The trade bolstered the team in left field and second base, the two positions which constantly stood out as the weak spot during the recent | campaign.

The Gamest Act I Ever Saw Injured in Auto Accident, Sleepless 56 Hours, Freddie Loeser Plays Against Army. By Mal Stevens, Yale Coach, As Told to J. P. Glass. T was in the chart room at Yale, where coaches long have dispensed foot ball tactics to Bulldog warriors, that Mal Stevens told this story. It was in the brief interval after dinner— talwart young fellows already were beginning to gather for the evening's instruction. Coach Stzvens sald it was remarkable to what lengths a foot ball player would go to keep in the line-up. Whenever he could conceal an injury from the coach he was bound to do it, since he estesmed it a much better thing to do his. bast for his dear old Alma Mater than for himself. He never had heard of an athlet> playing with a broken leg, but if it were possible, h: supposed the boys would do it. Take the case of Guard Loeser, the big New Haven boy who got into an automobile accident just before that went through drill as if he was in per- fect eondition although all the time he was ‘suffering terrific pain. SCJT wasn't until the next morning, when I read the paper, that I| found out about the collision.

Freddie went in against Army, but on the very first kick-off half a dozen Cadets jammed into him. When we pulled him out from under, we found he had three ribs broken. He had to be rushed off to the hospital. “‘Now that I'm out for good,’ said Freddie, ‘I may as well tell the truth about that automobile accident, I hurt FECT CONDITION ALTHOUGH ALL THE TIE LE WAS SuFEERING TER- AFc BaN? | game with the Army in 1928.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 14— After, a comparative rest yesterday the practice period being given to oral instruction, the Naval Academy foot ball team will start this afternoon to get ready for Duke, which plays here Saturday, with a look ahead to the Princeton match to be played at Prince- ton the following Saturday. Navy coaches and players, stung by the defeat by Notre Dame Saturda the worst since Bill Ingram assume charge of foot ball here in 1926, are determined to work harder than ever for victory in the remaining big games. An excellent chance is presenting it- | self in the next two games. Duke, according to Frank Foster, squad B coach, who scouted that team against Da: n Saturday, ‘has an extremely fthe running game, but ddes not make great use of the pass. Prince- ton, on the other hand, is expected to deliver a series of varied and deceptive passes. In spite of the terrific pace 3et by the burly Notre Dame backs, the naval team came out of the fray with- out an injury.

The deal was strictly cash, and while Veeck did not reveal the amount in- volved it was reported that the Philly treasury is $25,000 better off.

Woodrow Wilson. On the ice he was a winged creature and the - greatest of the amateur hockey players. Naturally when it came to a choice of service in the World War he took to the branch that gave him wings, the aviation service, and when his wlflg failed he died far from Nassau Hall. ut when the leaves turn gold and russet in the Fall his shade wings its way back to Princeton and hears the fresh young voices of the Princeton men of another time. The restless spirit of Johnny Poe carried him afar in search of action after he closed his hectic foot ball career at Princeton. He bobbed up in all quarters of the globe where there was fighting going on. Any war was a good war with Johnny ‘Poe, so long as it was not.a private war that would exclude an old Princeton back who He was found with Villa in Mexico, where he was looking for adventure. joined up with the young Garibaldi, fighting for liberty or for the pure joy of fighting. Early during the World War he was found a member of the Black Watch, the Royal Highlanders. that at Princeton only after he was dead. The name of John Poe appeared in a long list of casualties among the British and some Princeton men in London gathered that this must be their Johnny Poe, the great back of Princeton. It was. The circumstances of the death of Johnny Poe are related by a brother private in the Black Watch: “In the morning during the attack we went out on a Plrty carrying bombs. Poe and myself were in the party. We had got about half-way across an open fleld when Poe was hit in the stomach. He was then five yards in front of me and I saw him fall. As he fell he said, ‘Never mind me. On our return we found him lying de Shortly after he was buried at a place between the British and German lines.

Three of the brightest spirits that grew near Nassau Hall passed in tragedy, but in radiance.

In the Printeton trophy room 'there are relics that tell of the old battles of melodrama_that are not staged any more. Or is this really true? Perhaps there is quite as much meclodrama in the new game, only it is not so easily understood. These old grads of Prince- ton look back through rose glasses. But then they always will hold that when they do look back they have something worth while to look back upon. Perhaps there are other Poes and Bakers being developed, though we do not recognize them.

Frank Nebel, former Tech High track athlete, and Beef Fikes, the former an end and the latter a guard, were found to have broken ankles. Both will be sorely missed.
