In the last two years his gold and blue has won twelve straight sames and have not even been tied. | Last year’s log showed eight victories | and a team that was classed in the | championship ranks with Cornell’s | vnbeaten team. This fall Warner's pupils have gone through four games without a defeat and are in a fair way to finish their second straight season without a tarnish. Warner's team that crushed Penn recently 20 to 0 is one of the best balanced pieces of football machinery that has ever been got together. Its a shame it does not meet any of the big three. There were very few flaws in the Panthers’ work. Every regular play- .er was a star, and even the substitutes called upon in the closing minutes of play also showed their versatility by continuing to gain ground. One of Pitt’s biggest surprises in the ldst two games—Syracuse and Penn—was its magnificent defense. Warner’s Carlisle Indians were never famous for their defense. He always worked | on his attack first and then turned to the defense later. The same has | but he seems to have varied his sys fense a little stronger than ordinarily In two games Syracuse and Penn could not scors a single point against Pitt. Penn’s backs were checked completely wherever they tried any- thing against the Pitt line or ends Hastings’ two placement goals were well earned, but 4he breaks were with Pitt on its two touchdowns, and those might have been eliminated. Captain Peck of Pitt gave a remarkable ex- hibition of gameness when he insisted on sticking ir the game with the entire lower part of his jaw stove in. The Pitt physician packed a big wad last the was Lud daged Peck’s head, but in the +wo periods Peck did not follow plays as closely as earlier and all fagged oul.

Reported in Chicago That Judge May Head Commission. Chicago, Nov, 4.—Baseball enthu- siasts were discussing yesterday a re- port that Judge K. M. Landis might be offered the chairmanship national commission in case Garry Herrman of Cincinnati resigned. It seemed to be the general opinion that no better man could be secured, but most doubted that Judge Landis would consent to leave the Federal Bench. President Johnson of the American League was questioned on the report. “It would scarcely be fair to Mr. Herrman to enter into such a dis- cussion now,” he said. *As for Judge Landis, of course he would be a fine man in any position but I really can- not discuss the matter.” Johnson was asked what he thought about Charley Somers, ex-president of the Cleveland club, as a possible can- didate. ‘‘No, I think not,” he replied. The mention of Judge Landis in con- nection with the baseball commission recalls the fact that a certain base- ball official some months ago predict- ed that the judge might some day by offered tha presidency of the National league at the expiration of Tener’s Aetna All_ies CHURCH STRE been true to z certain extent at Pitt, | tem somewhat by going into the de- | of cotton in the wound and then ban- | that | by the | BOWLING RESULTS With Pete Fusari Who Vies Red | Campbell for “Old Man Athlete” Honors, Shows He Can Bowl.

In this respect baseball has nothing on football. The lure of the Ilatter game is as strong for the coach as the lure of the former is for the manager. Fcotball can match baseball man for man when it comes to length of ser-| vice at the head of the line. ! Football's Veterans, !

With the other fields barren tomor- | row, a greut crowd should be on hand to watch the contest. The Tigers have rounced out one of the best elevens in the history of the organization, and the supporters are confident that the present season's record will prove the right of the boys to lay claim for the state championship. The team has mastered the open style game in fine fashion, and it is a revelation to watch the boys reel off trick play af- ter play which bewilders their op- ponents. The team will meet for practice at 9:30 o’clock at the East End field. AYLOR DISQUALIFIED IN BOUT. | Toledo.
