Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 29.—Defeating Pennsylvania State Collegse 28 to 6 here today in the annual Thanksgiv- ing game between the two teams, the University of Pittsburgh completed its third consecutive season without a de- feat on the gridiron. With nine vic- torfes this season, including defeats of the University of Pennsylvania, Washington and -Jefferson, and Svra- cuse, the Panther eleven is again able to lay claim to the football champiog- ship of the east. Pennsylvania State, though out- weighed and matched against a more experienced team, fought back the PN* line smashes and end runs with de- termination. Using a double and a triple pass that mystified Coach War- ner”s men, the eastern Pennsylvania sleven assumed the offensive in the second period and scored a touchdown by use of a triple pass, Gross to Rauch to Way to Czarnecki Canover fail- ed at the try for goal.

Children Cry’ FOR FLETCHE ALL-COLLEGIANS-N. F. A. GAME A TIE Acldemy Holds College Men Scoreless—Many Spectacular Plays, But No Real Football—Collegians Toy With the School Boys, But Academy Puts _Up Sulf Fight. Thursday afternoon in an interesting and close game N. F. A. and the All Collegians played a scoreless tie. There was a small sized crowd for Thanks- siving Day, due mostly to the wea- ther. The field was half covered with snow so that getting away on’ end runs was rather difficult. The Acad- emy team was outweighed but had much better teamwork. Gilhooley, Jackson, Mullin and Stanley starred for the All Collegians, Gilhooley amusing the crowd in the way he gave the signals and in his individual plays. Jackson did much.of the Al Colleg-| ians' defensive work, getting numer- ous_ tackles. Eastwood, Bennett and J. Wilcox starred for N. F. A. R. Wil- cox was especially strong on the de- fense. Eastwood got the star run of the game, skirting the All Collegians’ left end for 30 yards. Long runs were impossible because of the slippery field so that both sides used line bucking continually. There were no forward passes that worked. Although the ground was rather hard no one was seriously hurt. The whistle was the only thing that saved the All Colle- ians, N. F. A. having the ball on the 15 yard line and gaining on every piay. The All Collegians seemed tired at the end of the game from lack of train- ing. One’peculiar feature of the game was the fact that two former N. F. A. football captains were playing on the All Collegians, Frank Murtha ’14, and Bob O'Hearn '15. First Quarter. Eastwood won the toss for N. F. A. and chose to receive at the south side of field. Stanley kicked off to East- wood who fumbled but recovered the ball on N. F. A. 39 vyard line. On the first play Eastwood lost five yards, being thrown by Jackson. ‘Wilcox made seven vards through the line. Bennett followed with eight yards for a first down. Eastwood made one yard and Wilcox one yard on a fake forward formation. On the next play Eastwood slipped on the bad ground and was tackled for a loss of seven yards. Burnett failed to gain. A for- ward poes was tried but failed and the ball went to All Collegians on N. F. A. 40 yard line. In two runs by Gilhooley three yards were lost, then Stanley made _three yards.

Some of Gilhooley’s favorite remarks were “What shall we try now?’ “Want | a basket? “Line up there!” anything now.” “Seedy” Jackson was what might be described as a howling success in the backfield, judging by the sound of the crowd when he forsook his place on the Iine. “Try For an old man, Horace Covle played a darn good game, but—we are willing to bet his bones will be stiff for a week.

PENN TRIMS CORNELL IN EASY GAME Howard Berry Scores 19 of Penn's 37 Points. > Philadeiphia, Nov. 29—There was no_football surprise on Franklin Tield today, Pennsylvania defeating her old rival Cornnell 37 to 0 in their twenty- fifth annual game. On the compara- tive playing of the two teams during the season the score represented about what the Pennsylvania followers had expected. In the quarter of a century of football between the two universi- ties, Pennsylvania has won twenty games, lost four and one was tied. Cornell startied the Penn<ytvanians in the first period. ~'The Quakers, confi- dent of victory, did not seem to have the speed or power to stop the Itha- gans with the resuit that the New sState team clearly outplayed the Philadelphians. © Cornell . had . he trouble in plercing the Pennsylvania line or in going around the ends, and gained almost as much ground as the home eleven. Cornell had chances to score in this period, but in each in- stance ths opportunity was lost through "Fullback Hoffman’s failure to kick field goals. He hadl three tries, the first from the 45 yard line, the second from 27 yards and the next from the fifteen yards. After the firbt quarter it was all Pennsylvania. The Red and Blue scored thirteen points in the second period and while no points were added in the third the Quaker goal was never in danger. In the finel quarter, Pennsylvania did al- most about as she pleased and scored 24 points, of which the wonderful Ber- 1y contributed seventeen. Berry scor- ed a total of 19 of the 37 points.

Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and for several years regarded as one of the shrewdest men in baseball, seems to nave lost his head as a result of the criticism which his proposal to exempt 288 ball play- ers has aroused throughout the coun- try. Johnson in his attempt to de- fend his proposal has come out with scme rather strong statements, if he is correctly quoted by I E. Sanborn, the veteran baseball critic of the Chi- cago Tribune. The statement that Johnson had charged certain club owners with hav- ing enough political influence to pre- vent their teams being riddied by the draft while others are shot to pieces is false, according to a téiegram re- ceived from the president of the Amer- ican league today. Sanborn, who is a close personal friend of Johnson, sensationalism and has a national reputation for accuracy. The .Chica- go critic in_ a recent article in which he quotes Johnson, says “My sole idea in making the sug- gestion to permit the reservation from draft of 13 ‘players for each major league club was to overcome the diffi- culties which confront professional baseball. If I have been successful in that 1 am satisfied and we shali have the situation thoroughly threshed out and ascertain where we stand. _“I am told the president ‘of the Na- tional league is not in sympathy with what he calls a ‘selfish plan,’ and as- serts his league will continue to help the government in every way possible. “But I have yet to learn that Gov- ernor Tener or any other club owner in the National league has offered to help the government by personally volunteering his services in any mili. tary. capacity. In war - times deeds, not words, are a measure of a man’ patriotism. The American league al- ready has ome of ‘its club owners, Captain Huston, serving the nation as leader of an engineers’ corps in France. Another club owner, James Dunn, has offered himself and his en- tire construction company for ser- vice in France. And I am still hope- ful that the war department will ac- cept my services, offered without any |sional, reservation whatever. “No one can charge the Ameri league or myself with lack of patriot- ism untii they can a greater willingness for personal sacrifice and risk. Before I quit baseball for gov- ernment service I would like to see professional baseball on some definite basis for the duration of the war. “It is a certainty the survival of the sport as a public entertaimment Tests with the major leagues.

If not, well and good, too. There will be no pro- test from the American leagus club owners, and the baseball public will be the severest sufferers. “Any attempt to alance - the sirength of the teams by trading sur- plus players to the weaker club would immediately create a suspicion that the race was being fixed. it | TRAPSHOOTING TAKEN UP BY U. S. GOVERNMENT Eighty-Six Traps Instailed in the A ation Schools and Cantorsnents .in This Country and France — Three Million Targets Delivered and An- other Million Goes Forth Each Week. By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate. This articie approved by the United States government through the Sig- nal corps. The value of trapshooting and the use of the shotgun in modern warfare have been recognized by the United States government, and plans have been made for the instaliation of traps at the cantonments™ and. aviation schools, 3 The following letter addressed to the zun_and ammunition interests by the aviation section of the Signal corps bespeaks the government attitude: “The importance of shooting from an airplane is brought home to us ev- ery day from the European front. it is the intention of the tion section of the Signal corps to zive the candi dates for flying instruction as much practice as possible with the shotgun, rifie and machine gun. “In order to accomplish this in thel most desirable way we have reached the conclusion that the shotgun would be the best adapted for our purpose, and Mis instruction can be obtained readily at the fields. “If possible, we would like to ob- tain the names of men competent to act as instructors, near the follow- ing mentioned flying schools, so that the instruction can be given without unnecessary expense or delay. “The schools are located at: “San Diego, Cal; Houston, Tex.; Rantoul, Ili.; Waco, Tex.; Bssington, Pa.; Fairfield, O.; Hampton, Va.; Dol- las, Tex.;_San Antonio, Tex.: Mineo- la, /L.

Government Believes in Sport. That the government fully believes that the shotgun and puckshot will be useful in the pfeliminary training for this war is evidenced by the erection of traps at the cantonments at Ameri- can Lake, Wash.: Quantico, Va, and Kansas City, Mo.
