Californians too Powerful The southern Callfornians after the firet period in which the Easterners were at'their best, displayed an offen- slve that was too powerful for Coach Hugo Bezdek's men. As a result the famed Penn State line was punctur- ed time and time again for substan- tial gains. The visitors appeared to be in excellent condition and the breaks of the game were about equally divided. The Trojan line, aided by a dry field proved to be the day's surprise. for it held the Eastern forwards, said to be invineible. The Penn State offensive centered in Mike Palm, who scored his team's only counter, a place kick. He did the punting and all the forward pass- ing and registered as much yardage as was recorded by the combined ef- forts of his team mates. Penn State was threatened in the first minute of play when *“Hap” Frank fumbled Anderson's kickoff on his own goal line. His teammate, Huf- ford, recovered and Palm punted out. The Trojans made first down twice. Then the Nittany Lions in an almost uninterrupted advance from midfield carried the ball to the 19 yard line, where Palm's toe produced the drop kick score. The second period saw the same taking turns in intercepting passes, but shortly before the half ended a long gain by Baker and a pass, Baker to Galloway, put the ball on the 2 vard line. Baker gained a yard and Campbell scored the Trojans' first touchdown through center on the next play. Hawkins kicked goal. Within five 1ninutes after the open- ing of the third period the Trojans put over the second touchdown. Baker's twenty two yard gain around the Lions' right end and a ten yard plunge through the line paved the way. Short gains through the line took the ball to the 2 yard line. Baker took it over on two bucks. Hawkins again kicked goal. Both teams were visibly exhausted in the final period, neither showing the drive of the early quarters, but Palm was able to mak a twenty-five yard run from midfie'd shortly before the end. Penn State Has No Alibi Penn State has no alibi, at least it should have none, for Southern Cali- fornia {is the better team and de- served the victory. Penn State showed two real players in Palm and Wilson, but neither was the equal of Baker in skirting the ends. Baker is a star of the first magnitude and is deserving to Penn State (3) .

McCarty, MONUMENT TO KEELER “He Hit 'Em Where They Aint" Suggested As His Inscription New YorK, Jam. 2.—Old time base- ball lovers declared today that a fit- ting appreciation that might be chiselled into the monument of “Wee Willle” Keeler, who died at his f!irooklyn home yesterday could be: ‘“He hit 'em where they aint.” Keeler's stand at the plate was one of the most peculiar in baseball, He stood erect his bat ‘“choked” and straight against his slim body. Flat footed, he toes the batter's deadline. Then he turned only his head toward the pitcher. The boxman twirled to a frail slide of a body that really | seemed to conceal the bat, There was no waliting or theéatrical threat of a hit. ‘When the ball came steaming to the plate, Keeler met it tnis way or that full force, tap, half swing, or | poke as the emergency prompted him. He was a master workman, } ITALIANS BEAT GERMANS. | Lenden, Jan. 2.—Fer the first time |since the world war, says a dispatch to The Times from Milan, a German amateur football team has played a game against an Italian team.

Hawley Is Appointed as Gridiron Mentor at Henover — Boston, Jan, 2.—~The appointment of Jesse B, Hawley of Chicago as head coach of football at Dartmouth College was announced yesterday. Jackson 8, Cannell of Everett, coach of the eleven for the last two years, was retained as first asslstant, Haw- ley was formerly coach at lows. Jack Ryan of Milwaukee and J. B, MeAuliffe of Worcester were named stants, Hawley since his days as a baek- field star at Dartmouth, 12 years ago, has in addition to his work at Uni. versity of Jowa cogched Phillips An- dover Academy and acted as adviser to Head Coach Spears at Dartmouth in 1010 and as assistant at Prineeton n 1920, Cannell, out of college three years after playing brilllantly with Green elovens as quarterback, served as an assistant to Spegrs In 1920, and had been head coaeh two years. No Announcement Made, The councll made no statement with its announcement of the change. It is known, however, that in bring- ing Hawley and Cannell togother as coaches the council had in mind an arrangement that would provide a more thorough basis for a football coaching system. Cannell in the last two seasons showed promise of pos- sibilities, members of the eouncil felt, that made continuance of his cennec- tion with Dartmeuth depirabje. With Hawley to apply his greater experience in supervising policies and instruction it was thought Cannell after a year or two of assoclate work would be ready to take sole respon- eibllity. The advisory committee on foot. ball was announced as Larry Bank- hart of Lyon, John Glaze of Buffalo, N. Y., and Clark Tobin of New York. MAY REORGANIZE STATE HIGHWAY DEPT.

Templeton in answer | to an inquiry as to reappointment of Highway Commisioner Charles Ben- nett, The governor is trying to work out some plan by which the work of | the state highway department can be carried on still making use of Mr. Bennett's experiénce in the work. The state highway department has | expanded greatly since Commissioner Bennett took hold nearly 10 years ago and it now spends nearly $8,000,000 a year. Details of the plan now under consideration have net been given out but it is understood that is based on the conviction that the responsibility for the expenditure of such large |sums of public funds should net be | put solely upon a new commissioner, | but should be carried by more than | one including presumably Mr. Ben- " nett. 2 KANSAS SHADES BERNE, Buffalo, Jan. 2.—Rocky Kansas re- |ceived the award of the judges yes- |terday afternoon at the end of a ten round bout with Sammy Berne.
