What's in THE FHEXCII call the umpire ot United States he is called something COACH BEZDEK HAS FIGHTING ELEVEW Average Weight of Penn Men Who Tackle Pitt Saturday Will Be 163 Pounds By Rcss E. Kauffman. Philadelphia, Nov. 12. When Penn trots out on Forbes Field next Saturday afternoon for its fourth annual gridiron battle with Pitt, it will show one of the lightest teams that has worn the Red and Blue in years.

Latost figures on the Hollenback-Folwell team, allowing that no unexpected changes are made over last Saturday's lineup, are that the eleven wilL, average 163 2-11 pounds. That sounds like a mighty small university team, but last year's Penn combination which went through a remarkable season, averaged only a few pounds more 1G0 4-1L Penn's real lack of weight will be exhibited in the backfield, which is made up of Quarterback Smith, Half-Lacks Harvey and Braun and Fullback McXichol. The heaviest of this quartet is AicXichol and he weighs but 105. Broun, the Marietta, Ohio boy, moves the scales at VA, and Harvey, who was discovered a week ago on Jack Keogh's scrubs, cau boast of only 135 pounds. The one who actually pulls the average weight of the entire team down is George: Allen Smith, who Is being billed here as a second Shorty Miller.

Smith weighs but 130 pounds, but Is hard as nails. The average weight of this combination is 151, which is nine pounds less than last year's Berry, Light, Strauss, Bell backfleld. Should the Penn coaches decide to use Joe Strauss, he would pull up the figures, as he weighs 167. Rosenau and Plnney, other hard working varsity backfield lads, are. also lightweights as far as poundage goes and show 152 and 150, respectively.

The Red and Blue line from end to end will average 170 1- or just 1-7 of a pound heavier than last year's squad of fighters. The heaviest lineman is tred Peters, ISO, left end, and the lightest Bud Hopper, lc9, on tho other wing. UG MINORS HOLD BIG MEETING AT PEORIA TODAY First Steps for Reorganization of Game to Be Taken at National Association An Explanation Due. THERE'S A very readable story going the rounds as tj how Leonard Wood, now a-general in the Lnited States Army, started football at Georgia Tech, and played the game there. As Gen.

Wood was graduated from the Hartvard Medical School in 1884 and Georgia Tech was not organized until 188S, how comes it that the general attended that school in Echo of Old Controversy.

J. Likely to Have to Go Into Game Minus Tressel and Ed Garbisch Washington, Nov. 12. W. football team cvpect to get back to practice this afternoon as the start of tho preparation for the game with Geneva at Beaver Falls Saturday.

This game, in W. crippled condition, may prove a real test for Hutchinson's men, particularly as the Covenanters are rated as exceptionally strong this year and have played-several games. Hutchinson will not be able to use his full strength in the practice, as several of his players are liable to be out for tho remainder of the week. Edward Garbisch. rho may hare a cracked bone in his left leg, and Tressel are certain to be held out of this contest, these being two of the best men in tho line.

Lally is badly battered up and will hardly practice for some days. It Is likely that Hutchison will groom young Frazier, tho Washington High recruit, for the quarterback Job In this game. Frazier used good Judgment after he got into the Pitt last Saturday, running the team with sVeed and precision and also carrylnghe ball well on occasion. g. Donaldson will in all probability go into the lino in place of Ed Garbisch, but who wijl play the right end position is problematical.

be secured. This bout will be no mere exhibition, but a real battle between two well-matched rivals, and the fans will get more than their money's worth. A large number of other wall-known mitt artists have offered their services for the show, which bids fair to be the biggest thing of the kind ever pulled off in this section. Sheriff Haddock has named on hts committees some of the most prominent men in the city, and they are all laboring hard to make ait the events of week" successful. The professional boxing show will be the big financial event, aside from the Pitt-Georgia Tech football game, and it is hoped to realize 110,000 from, the bouts.

It is expected that nine or 10 all-star battles will be stages Monday night. Patsy Cline Injured. New York. ov. 11.

Irish Patsy Cline, the noted lightweight boxer, ihas been seriously injured in a motor crash, according to his manager. H. M. Pollock. All of the boxer-'s engagements have been canceled.

Eligibles and Ineligibles. SAYS JOE JACKSON, the sage of Detroit: "With the nomination list not closed, in the election next to interest a certain section of the public, the candidates for the National League presidency now include John A. Heydler, of New York; Robert L. Brown, of Louisville; John B. Foster, of New York; Branch Rickey, of St.

Louis, and Toe O'Brien, of Milwaukee. "THREE OF these are iaetlglble to the ofllce because of proved competency for the position. The others are under suspicion of ability. The National League ifkes dark horses. As a result, ft frequently gets night-mares." Going Down.

boy, who in the best of shape for the game hs looks as if the boys have found themselves at last, and are going to plow Into all future opponents with a real aggressive spirit, which will -go far toward carrying: them through to victory. "Certainly they will not quit until the game is over, and it is my opinion that if the Panthers win this coming contest, they will at least glvo Penn credit afterwards for having put up the stiffest battle Pitt has been in for a lone time." Coach Warner, of Pitt, realizes that his men are not going up against an ass. proposition on Saturday. "While Penn has encountered many obstacles this fall, he knows that they will outdo themselves to put a strong team In the field for the game here, and that nothing will be left undone by the Quaker coaches to prepare their men for a -nning contest. FOLWELL BACK OX JOB.

The return of Bob Folwell to Franklin Field has done much to rouse the old Penn spirit. Folwell and Bill Hollenback are working together, and they constitute a team that is hard to beat in the way of football knowledge and strategy. Folwell commanded the last team which sent University of Pittsburg down to defeat. He was coach of the Washington and Jefferson college team which downed the Panthers back in 1914, before Warner came here. Folwell would bo the happiest man in the United States if his charges could turn the triek next Saturday a trick which three successive Penn elevens ave failed to turn.

Warner has a hard week's work ahead of U. before he will be satisfied that his men have been brought up to the proper point to meet Penn. "Pop smiled broadly as he walked sedately Oi'f Forbes Field last Saturday, after his men had defeated the Red and Black rather easily, and he congratulated them upon their victorv. but. at that, "he was far from satisfied with the game.

"Pop" is a critical spectator at every engagement in which nis men participate. He demands more of them than they showed on Saturday, and when ha gets them together this afternoon he will not hesitate to tell them ao. He does not propose to allow them to get "all swelled up" Juat because they piled up 34 points against a team which it was generally conceded in advance had no chance gainst them. Whether Warner will make any changes in his lineup for the Penn battle depends entirely upon th. spirit in which his men take the criticism of their work in the opener, which he will make tonight.

If there is, any sulking, or any failure on the part of a single individual to grasp the situation and recognise his faults, there will be soma shifts. BETTER TEAM WORK SEEDED. Tho Pittites did not pull together last Saturday as well as they might have done, and while this was undoubtedly in large measure duo to the fact that they had not taken part in a previous game, the coach is going to demand a big improvement in the practice sessions this week-. No practice was held last night, owing to Pittsburg's big peace parade, in which the members of the S. A.

T. Including: the football men, participated. But the squad will jjet down to real work today, and the chances are that they will bo mercilessly driven until Friday. The Panthers came out of the W. J.

Laughran is recovering, too, and will probably take an active part in the in the near future. The public sale of tickets for the Penn game started yesterday, and the demand was creator than was ex pected. No doubt the ease with which Pitt defeated W. J. has augmented interest in their future con.

tests, and indications are that the at-teudapce next Saturday will be at least as large, if not larger than the crowd of about 18.000 which turned out to se the lied and Black go down to defeat. Slavin Killed in France. Nov. 12. Acting Corp.

The occasion will be the annual conclave of the minor leagues. In pre-war times the yearly gathering of the bush magnates was an event of importance to the major moguls, as some 00 leagues, controlling a small army of players, were repra- eented. This year, owing to the ex tensive suspension of operations due to the scrap overseas, only eight are entitled to sit in at the conference the American association, New International, Southern, Pacific Coast, Eastern, Western, Northwestern and Texas. These either completed their schedules or remained In the field for more than half of their seasons. Protection and readjustment of territorial rights is- expected to form one of the chief subjects for consideration, now that peace is at hand.

The little fellows for years have suffered, from the handicaps of Inequitable territorial apportionment, the costs of excessive mileage requirements having precluded making both ends meet, financially speaking, not to mention the taking of profits. Fear by the minor moguls of the result of any concessions for tho revision of territorial allotments has been tho chief bar to the correction of this evil. Ending of the war will assure the operation of the new International league and the Southern association, both of which ar in good condition financially, but the situation of tho American association is not so sounJ. The enterprising backers of the Kan- sas City club are said to be angling for the berth held by the St. Louis team in the National leaaue.

In any event, it is assured there is no likelihood of a revival the movement for the formation of a third near-major circuit by the amalgamation of the chief strongholds of te American association and New International.

This was attempted a year ago by Ed Barrow then presi. dent of- the International. The Atlantic seaboard organization now probably would not countenance the project, wliich was balked in 1917 by a certain clique in the middle west wheel, Another circuit that doubtless will get into the field again if the arrival SCHOOL ELEVENS PRACTICE Prepare for Games at End of Week Peabody and Fifth in Stiff Workouts By L. H. Wollen.

Coaches of high school football teams are preparing to resumo the grid season this week. Several of the teams will start practice this afternoon and expect to play games Friday and Saturday. Most of the men on the squads have kept in con dition during the enforced layoff and difficulty should be experienced in getting them into tip-top trim for the contests scheduled for the end of the week. Fifth will begin practice this afternoon for the regularly scheduled Allegheny has one of the best high school teams in this section of the state and it will take some hard playing, to beat them. No coach has yet been appointed at Allegheny, although it is known that several applications are in and the new mentor may be made known in a day or two.

Friday's game will begin at 3:15. Peabody, under the 'direction of Coach Hugh Lambie, held its first practice since the lifting of tho "flu" ban. yesterday afternoon, and the men showed excellent form. The Fastend school has a game on with Wilkinsburg Saturday, and as tho Holy City has shown good form in its games to date they will be in for a gruelling battle. Wilkinsburg held the crack Washington high school team to a 0-0 tie Saturday, which speak3 volumes for its strength.

The jgame will be played at Wilkinsburg's "park. Coach Burton of i High hopes to ha-e a Westlnghouse team out Fr'- day to meet tho South Hills sauad if the eleven from south of the river is in the field. Coach Carson has had a hard time keeping a team together this year, several of his men beinpr out with injuries and from other causes.

Arthur Vaughn, the local champion who represents TEAM AT STATE Center Countians' Showing Against Rutgers Is Regarded as Truly a Wonderful One Stat College.

Nov. 12. Judging from a story which leaked out here today. State College's 0-3 showing against tho heavy and experienced Hutgers eleven here last Saturday Is even more wonderful than it was! judged at first. Hutgers expected to beat Bezdek's green State eleven by 50 to 60 points and.

therefore, the low score was very much of a surprise. This surprising score looms as even more of an upset-when glimpsed in the light of the yarn that cropped out today. It came from "Chuck" Yerger. former State halfback tar, who is assistant to Coach Hugo Bez-dek this talL "Chuck" does mast of the scouting for State, and ho was delegated to look over the Rutgers team in Its election day game with Charley Brickley's Navy Transport eleven in New Tork. Terger arrived at the New Tork gridiron and made no secret of the act that he was there to give Foster Sanford's men the once over.

"Guess you'll see us uncover something," said one of the Hutgers men. "Hope so." replied "Well, if you do you wont trave anything on us," came back the Rutgers man. "We had a roan up at State College scouting your team. He watched every practice for four daya and wasn't discovered." This information nearly knocked Terger oft his pins. He refused to believe it, but when the Rutgers tnan repeated bits of talks Besdek had given his men on the field he could it was true.

So, on the face of this, local foot ball followers regard State's com paratively low score with Rutgers as twice as impressive as before, although they were mightily pleased in the first place. They are confident that, with Bezdek remaining on the job as State's head coach the re-! mainder of the season, a good fight ing team will be ready to face Pitt at Pittsburr Thanksgiving day. and when that tim.
