The Itha- cans also executed several clever for- ward pas: They lost more than seventy-five yards by penalties, one twenty-yard setback depriving them of a touchdown in the third period. Altogether, the showing made by the team under the conditions was sa factory. Gettysburg was no match for the Ithacans, but played a snap- py game all through. After four minutes of play Gillies recovered a fumble on the Gettysburg five-yard line, and Shiverick went around’ tackle for the first touchdown. The second touchdown was made pos- sible when Eltenberger recovered a fumble on yard line. Benedict got sixteen yar. in two runs and the ball was on the three-yard line when time was called for the first period. On the first play -of | the ond period Shiveri scored. ~ Benedict hurled a forward pass to Eitenberger, the new right end making a fine catch for a gain of thirty-five yards.

He will probably have his hand forced a little in tha ‘dme]opmom of his team, because of | the unexpected strength of Tufts. The dropping of Rutgers and Syr- acuse from this year's schedule wa partly caused by the fact that the Ti- ger coach believe such heavy teams were too strong for so early in the seasons. Now that the conquerors of the Harvard eleven are coming to Tigertown, he will have to turn baca to some of last year's tactics. Lehigh Works for Yale. South Bethlehem, Pa., Oct. 10.— line | Lehigh started work yesterday for the | Yale game next Saturday. to whip a reliable team into shape will be herculean, as nearly three- fourths of the places will have to be | filled with new men who are inexperi- ave for their prep school play- Then, too, the work for this week that the coaches had planned could not be carried out because the hard game with Albright on Saturday left its mark on many of the tcam. Chen- oweth, tha little quarterback, who played such a dashing game at Yale last year, was not out. He will prob- ably be in shape to play Saturday. Quist, on whom had been banked for one of the end positions, made va- cant by the loss of Sawtelle and Greene, is not yet eligible, nor can it be stated that he will be before Sat- urday. Another position that trou- bles the coaches is center. None of the candidates so far show the form dis- played by Scruggs last vear. The work yesterday was given over to signal work, and there will be no scrimmages until the men recover their proper physical condition. The task Harvara Players Hurt. Cambridge, M Oct. 9.—The Harvard football regulars did nothing terday afternoon after their Tufts defeat, except to put in an hour’s sig- nal drill. Bond, one of the halfbacks, dislocated his shoulder Saturday and be be out for some time, and Mosely Taylor, besides smashing his wrist, also had a bad leg which will keep him out for more than a week. There was a red hot scrimmage, how- ever, between the second and _third teams. Westmore Willcox played in the backfield with Hitchcock znd Burnham and mads {wo pretty thirty-yard end runs. Green Needs a Punter. Hanover, N. H,, Oct. 10.—Because aturday’s game with Lebanon Val- ley college was played under a hot sun and with the thermometer well up in the seventies the Dartmouth squad was given a very light workout yester- day. Many of the Green linesmen lost from four to six pounds and Trainer Hillman is afraid of getting the men down too fine so early in the season. Part of the afternoon was devoted to punting practice with Gerrish Theilsch>r, Burns and Szully doing the work in this department. Dartmouth has no exceptionally well-qualified punters this year, and Gerrish, who has been doing the kicking. thus far, has not averaged over forty yards in any of the games. Burns is sending the ball further than any of the other punters, but he is extremely slow in In the signal arill yesterday Cannel was at quarterback with the ’varsity, and it appears now that he has clinched the position by his competent all-around play Saturday. Berry Returns to Penn. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 10.—When the University of Pennsylvania foot- ball players reported at Franklin field yesterday afternoon Coach Folwell made the announcement that the regu- lars will not engage In any more scrimmages With Harold Gaston’s scrubs. Howard Berry, back from the Mexican border yesterday, made his appearance on Franklin field and was greeted with open arms by his team mates. Berry was the picture of health. Practice was limited to a sig- nal drili. Columbia Eleven Rests. York, Oct. 10.—Columbia’s football eleven was rested vesterday and only the substitutes who didn’t participate in the Hamilton game Sat- urday reported in t Head Coach Metcalf took the 'varsity regulars in- doors for the first blackboard drill in a week. Columbia coaches have no apol- ogies to make for the tcam, which met Gefeat from Hamilton Saturday, and one of the staff yesterday made the statement that the Light Blue and White was fairly outplayead. The first of the interclass games was played at South field yesterday, the Freshmen defeating the Sophoreores, 9 to 0. A series of hard scrimmages will be the prozram this week to put the 'var- sity in preparation for the Vermont game Saturday. New Conklin Fordham Leader. New York, Oct. 10.—Immediately before Fordham’s football practice vesterday all the men,who remain on the team from a year ago were called together to select a captain to take the place of Jim Butler. They were unan- fmous in their choice of Jack Conklin as the new captain.. Conklin, who hails from Ansonia, Conn., has played on the team for the,past three years, spending his first year at guard, while for the past two seasons he has held dcwn the Maroon left flank. The squad was kept busy vesterday correcting the faults disclosed against Western Maryland. New signals were adopted, with both Calland and MeNa- mara taking a hand at choosing the plays. All the men were in good shape \itn the exception of Coreoran and Frwig. who were slightiy bruised on | saturday. | Donna Clay, b. m., (Valentine) ST.

A trio of bowlers from the alleys on New Britain’s glass coast, journeyed to Norwich last evening and engaged in a five game series with representatives of the “Rose of New England” city.

Since that date eleven world series have been played. If there had been any hippodraming or dealing from the bottom, these eleven series could have used up exactly seventy-seven gamies. But the figures show that only sixty- | one contests have been needed, dis playing a loss of sixteen games, that might have returned a revenue of at least $800,000, Over the Quick Route.

So in seven of the eleven years only five games or less have been re- quired to determine the winning ar- s And for the eleven years the average has been only five and one- clubs sup- posed to be pretty well matched.

A FINE RECORD A. P. Flashes Story Over 18,000 Mile Circuit Into eously. An unprecedented feat in the tele- graphic transmission of news was ac- complished by the traffic department of the Associated Press when one operator sitting in the stand at Braves Field in Boston was sand miles of leased wire the story of how the Bostons beat the Brook- lyns in the second game of world’s baseball 'series. Taking dictation from the Associat- ed Press representatives who were covering the game, this operator, J. A. Bates, through the telegraphic connections arranged for the service, was able to send the story to 300 As- sociated Press offices and newspapers in the United States, tick for tick, into each office simultaneously—as far as Duluth and as far south as New Orleans. . The operator sent the story over this 18,000-mile circuit continuously for two and a half hours, and at the instant McNally crossed the plate with the winning run in the fourteenth inning, the flash “Boston wins” had gone the length and breath of the country.

He is not first middleweight since Ketchellis time to go through the whole list of his rivals without meeting with a re- but he seems to have all the requisites of a regular ring hero. Darcy’'s advent has made it un- necessary to go back a score of years in order to point to a regular fighter. Darcy fills the bill as well as any of timers. He is the first star ringman in years who has not lost his nerve after attaining a certain amougt of success. As a general thing when a boxer reaches the top he does not care to take any more chances, no matter how daring he may have been in the early stages of his career, Ap- parently his one desire is to tackle the logical opponent in every case, which means the toughest. He wants to continue fighting instead of turn- ing showman. He is not a bluffer, not a sidestepper, but a fighter who always is willing to fight, without beating about the bush. Darcy now has beaten every mid- dleweight of note except Mike Gib- bons and his backers are going thewr best to inveigle the St. Paul crack into a match. There is no particular rea- son why he should not rest on his leave Gibbons alone, #ar the latter holds no title. But Darcy will not be satisfied until he has dis- posed of every possible rival whao might dispute his claim to the mid- dleweight championship. Stanley Ketchell was the last of the reckless matchmakers While Jess Willard and Johnny Kilbane are su- preme in their respective classes and therefore cannot be said to be dodging any one there are very few prominent boxers in the ring today who are ofs their way in search of Ketchell’s disposition was such that he refused to be restralned by the advice of his managers to go slow and pick the easy ones. He always want- ed to be doing something worth while, He was absolutely without fear both when fighting and when it came to making a match. The fact that he was risking his prestige and earning power never seemed to have any ef- fect on him whatever. He wak a great gambler and his gameness yas far superior to that of the fighter who, can take unlimited punishment with, out winching. A Darcy seems to have much of Ketchel's willingness to fight as well ag his ablilty. It is unfortunate that he should have to waste his talents over in Australia where there is no one within ‘miles of his class. . He will be a great card if he ever comes to this country. A Darcy-Dillon match looks like the biggest thing in the pugilistic line that has . eVer taken place barring a few of the heavyweight champlonship matches. THIS CHARMING H. S.
