Vale Hopes For Retort of Cripples GIBRALTAR MISTS fight; despite earlier reverses. Adherents of old Nassau point out that Bill Roper has had the faculty of bringing; his squad up to top notch for the games with their traditional foes tbe past few years. The Tiger eleven that smothered Yale and Harvard last season had met earlier reverses.

Yale Prays for Stars' Return The Ells feel that their defeats at the hands of Brown and West Point largely were due to the absence of such stars as Npble, Kline and Richards. With these three men back in the lineup, as they are expected to be for the Princeton game November li, followers of the Blue look for an Improvement sufficient to down their old rivals, 1 While the "Big Three" are having their "private the chief contenders for the eastern sectional crown will take matters comparatively easy this week In preparation for bigger tests.

Nor. 1 W). Harvard and Princeton are girding themaelvea this week for tbe opening engagement 01 aa wioe open battle aa haa over been promised for the championship of the "Big Three." There will be no lack of traditional color and Interest In the J92 round round robin of the ancient eastern triumvirate that starts Saturday at Cambridge, but It is noteworthy that all three enter their climax games defeated and shunted aside In the main flght toe sectional honors for the second straight year. Tale and Harvard each has tasted defeat twice, while Princeton haa been beaten and tied-- record of disaster that probably has had few if any parallels In "Big Three" Harvard's hopes are perhaps the brightest of the three now, for the Crimson, after a ragged start, has come forward at an astonishing pace, while the Tigers and the Ells have put up erratic exhibitions. It has been eleven years since Harvard carried off the "Big Three" crown outright Eddie Mahan's 1915 Crimson team was the last to reach the peak and It made a good Job of It by smothering Yale to the tune of 41 to 0.

Twice since then In 1M9 and 1920 ties with Princeton. Tigers Won Past wo Years Harvard has the memory of two successive debacles against Princeton to atone for. In their last two games the Tigers have rolled up seventy points against the Crimson. Not even a triumph over Yale could be any sweeter than a decisive victory this Saturday over Princeton for Harvard men and their new head coach, Arnold Horweon. The Tiger and the Bulldog, however, are very much in the closing HEAVIEST SLUGGER IN MAJORS SEEMED A "BUST" Heinie Manush Showed Nothing But Promfse Until Heilmann 'Showed Him How to Hit Detroit, Nov.

1 Of). Henry Manush, batting champion of the major leagues In J926, was for three years one of those ball players who always threaten yet never seem to arrive. Possessed of an Ideal physique, speed, great arm and shoulder strength and an uncanny eye, Manush was wasting his hitting by swinging too hard. He bats left handed. Invariably he swung too fast, driving the hall with great power but outside the right field foul line.

The hits he did make were, with few exceptions, over first base or through the first baseman. In 1923, when he was playing Irregularly, Manush hit .344. The following year he fell below .800 and in 1925 he Just got into the select group with a .303. Starting 192 Manush was all but counted out as a regular. It waa apparent that Ty Cobb would need replacement in centre field, where he had performed for twenty years, but Manush did not quite measure up.

Harry Hellmann, who won the American Lengue batting championship in 1925, is credited with having worked the Improvement In Man-ush's batting. Hellmann, whoseown success has been due largely to his ability to place hit, took ManuRh in tow and taught Mm some tricks. Manush's batting perked up. He began dropping hits over second base and between the left and centre fleldrs. He developed the "drag" single and the bunt, a branch of hitting that served well as a change of pace for Manush, who Is regarded as the fastest man on the Tiger club.

As late as midseasoh Manush looked like a bust. Tha hitting honora were falling to Bob Fother-Kill, Detroit's left fielder. Then came the Bpurt, Manush climbing In a fortnight from tenth to second place. Fotherfrlll faltered, and Manush took ihe lead, holding It to the end and! finishing with a mark ot .380.

To-day when he goes to his polling place and finds a couple ladles slttlmr on the board and several of the fair4 sex working as watchers he doesn't feel any more at liberty to spit on the floor than he does at home. She and us are going over to the polls to-day and vote like two hearts that beat as one.

And last evening on the West Pittston car a young matron and single young woman were sitting in the scat ahead of us. And they were discussing the mod ern styles and how comfortable the clothes of to-day were to wear com pared with "the clothes ot ten or twelve years ago. And the single young woman re marked: "They can say what they please about the short skirts, but just the same they were what made Knickerbockers possible. And wo couldn't help but think to ourself that they not only made knickerbockers possible, but from" what wo had noticed when young women boarded a street car or climbed in an automobile the short skirts had also made knickerbockers imperative. This Is the season of tbe year that Mother EveTised to go out in the woods and lay In a supply of brightly colored and tinted leaves for winter wear.

It would seem that the Italian mob took the muss out ot Mussolini and! usea it to muss up the fellow that tried to kill Mussolini. Tho rabbits In Pennsylvania that were missed yesterday can now realize how the Italian premier must have felt on Sunday. Now that Marie has been made a "war woman" of the Sioux Indians Ferd will have to watch his step when She returns to Rumania or he will suffer a hair raising experience A "Kingston reader" wants to know wny this column has been silent on annexation. The chief reason.is that this column lives In Forty Fort and is not "butting 1n" on the matter though personally we are iu per cent, for a Greater Wtlkes-Barre. Had the thirteen colonies retained their Individual sovereignty In stead of forming one nation, the territory now comprised In our bounds would have forty-eight separate governments' and be worse ofr than Europe In the line of handicap.

The arguments used against annexation now are basically the same as those used following the KevojuV tlon against the union of the States, To-day's dispute Is for Kingston and Wilkes-Barre voters to decide. When Forty Forty Is asked to Join with Wilkes-Barre we will speak' our little piece In favor. erfect Shaves rom Your Blddes From Your A lot of valuable time tend energy are being wasted by some high school officials trying to convince their neighbors that the future ot scholas tic foot ball Is threatened, by the lm portatlon of college and professional teams. The public Is the Anal judge In this matter and there Is plenty of room for all but after watching Plymouth ana wiiKes-Harre niga last Satur day, we are convinced that the scholastic officials have no grounds tor worry. That kind or loot ball will survive a competition with the oiggesi corpse games in cue fMiu Coaoh Pendergast's Coughlln boys left the field defeated but not dis graced.

Unlike last year at Ply mouth1 when no score resulted, Coughlln high played aa If they wanted to vln and had It. hot been for Stonlk intercepting pass and the remarkable Interference given him by' his backflcld mates, Coughlln ana Plymouth would nave had another scoreless tie to go Into the record book. This column would like to com mend both high school, teams for the high standard of foot ball tney displayed and for the clean manner in which the game wag played from start to finish. Rivalry, was in tense and the boys fought bitterly to the end but not one Instance of "dirty foot, ball" was noticeable. Now for the Kingston and Ply mouth fracas next Saturday.

To do the greatest good to the greatest number, Kingston high school advisory council should transfer the battle to Artillery Park. At the Coughlln-Plymouth game last Saturday there were enough vacant seats In Morris Kemraerer's stadium to accommodate as many more people as were seated. The crowd next Saturday premises to be twice as large, If the talk heard about the game Is any criterion, Klnrston. regardless of all the consolidation talk, can 'be proud of Its high school. Us team and Its new athletic field on Wright street, but Artillery Park as nowftfranged will accommodate more than 15,000 people with comfort to alL 'T)r.

erMurray ywrpin, rormer dut-gess-of icmsftfloir and a. hard worker for Kingston high school foot ball team, has done a big thing to wipe out the sting of the unfortunate situation that arose In the Kingston-Plymouth high battle last year at Plymouth. Dr. Turpin has offered a beautiful loving cup, mounted on an ebony baae and appropriately engraved, to be presented to the winner of next Saturday's game. The.

cup coat the genial Kingston dentist fifty bucks or more but it will be money well spent If It brings the desired results as It promises so to do. These 'Wilkes-Barre sporting editors mut bo mixing brimstone with their coffee. First It was "Mike" and "Iflfle" blazing at each other. Now It's "Willy" and The first bout started over boxing and the eontroversv involves, foot ball. We'll challenge the winner to a game of checkers.

Harry Farrell, of Nantlcokc, one ot the three Fennsylvanlans who boss the boxing game and keep It pure and aweet, la wqrklng out the details for a get-acquainted dinner for snortine writers from Carbondale to hamokin at Hotel Terminal some evening next ween. Commissioner Farrell is arranging his program and has Selected Judge Ponsrhlln as toastmaster. Which Is a good sign that the party is going to be a success, xne junai only well acquainted with sports of all sorts but Is a good sport and talks the kind of language a sporting editor llkcst to listen to stralgh from the shoulder. Commissioner Farrell' dinner will also serve as a means ot an association of spoi tlnf writers of the anthracite district. TKts was suggested by Kd Zwelbel of tne Pottsvllle Republican a few weeks ago and met with favor from typewriter pounders of every 'town and city In the district over which Commissioner Farrell lias jurisdiction.

Alumni of Dickinson and Muhlenberg Colleges In this district are trying to have tho foot ball -teams of those old and respected institutions clash here on November ,18. There are many graduates of tha schools here who are "steaming; HP" the battle, Morris Kemmerer, who promoted the Bucknell-Vllla Nova battle two weeks ago and made a iJUge success of It, from the fans' viewpoint, has gone on a hunting trip but left word that the Muhlenberg and Dickinson folks can have his stadium at Artillery Park if they want It A decision In the matter should be reached within a -few days. We believe the fans" would welcome another college game, -but the date conflicts with the Nantlookc- Coughlln scholastrc. grid battle at Nantioke, which should taken Into University of Pennsylvania grid players wear fake pads on their jerseys resembling foot ball to con fuse their opponents.

In thl old foot ball days the "subs" were the ones on the bench who weren't good enough to play until the regulars bad been killed Of. Now the subs are the ones who alt on the bench until somebody's needed' to pull the game out ot the fire.

Nojile, who Is' listed with Jack Manley and Jaokle Button as the most promising boxing material In the valley, may receive a setback when he steps Into the ring against the Carbondale boy who has been winning consistently In Seranton rings. Noble's latest achievement in the squared arena was to Kayo Whltey Gray, a tough battler from Hanover, la two successive bouts, once at Stroudsburg and two weeks ago at the Hampton In the first round.
