Clan Carnegie, the alumni body of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, gathered at William Penn hotel yesterday afternoon and paid tribute to the Tartan football squad of 1927. Boisterous as such celebrations are, the affair of yesterday went down in the records of the Oakland school as one of the most rousing ever held, despite the rather drab season through by the band of gridders.

The main event of the afternoon, of course, was the election of the captain for the corning season. Letter -men of the Carnegie squad, soon after the opening remarks of Toastmas-ter John L. Porter, member of the board of trustees of the institution, filed out of the auditorium and chose Howard Harpster, halfback during the past two seasons, to lead the team in 1928. Harpster, whose selection apparently was unanimous and pre-arranged, considering the brief time required to cast the ballots, appeared to be a choice favorable to the alumni. When the announcement was made, he was applauded vigorously, a tribute to his skill as a gridiron warrior as well as a vocal message of popularity.

NEW SYSTEM TO BE USED. It was also brought out that Harpster will be the last captain of Carnegie Tech elected in this way. Hereafter, according to Advisory Coach Walter P. Steffen, two complimentary leaders will be chosen at th annual football dinner to rve through the following season but the actual election of a captain will be withheld until the close of the gridiron campaign. According to Steffen.

that system is. employed now in many colleges throughout the country, notably Notre Dame and Ohio State. It is the mentor's opinion that such a plan is more to be desired that the pres ent method because it gives the football men a chance to honor a player who sparkled through the season, even though his career as a college athlete had come to a close, Steffen praised his gridders. He went into a detailed account of the doings of a team that wasn't the strongest sort of an outfit at the beginning of the season and was further hampered by injuries. Hardly a department of the team was without handicap through the campaign and the record which included four do-feats was viewed as owning some luster because each opponent faced by the Tartans in 1927 was scored upon.

Steffen's remarks dwelt mostly trpan the courage of the players. He recounted time after time when Carnegie gridders were badly used up they refused the leave the gam pointed out instances where Euemeu were made over into backfield players in the heat of the campaign, and alas how the squad suffered through the loss of players hampered by recurrent injuries. SEVENTEEN GET LETTERS. Seventeen players were awarded letters, 14 of them because they participated in the required number of periods during the season, 20, and th o'her three for meritorious service. Anderson, Letzelter, Harpster, English, Cooper, Melziner, Schmidt, Cowan, Wertenberger, Shaug hn essy.

Sweet, Moorhead, Harmon and Love-well filled playing requirements, while effort was the feature that gave Staffer, Allen and Dodge then- marks. Six players will be graduated before another grid campaign rolls around. Anderson, ex -captain; Cooper, Harmon, Allen, Dodge and Wertenberger are those who will be lost to the equad, but to take their places will be members of the undefeated freshman squad, which, unlike the varsity, came in for considerable praise because of the fine record it compiled. Officers of the Clan were also elected. George J.

Wagner was winner of the presidential toga; L. H. Lee became the new vice president, while Clarence Overend was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Dr. Thomas F.

Baker, president of the school; Daniel Winter and John S. Herron. city councilmen; Clarence Overend. graduate manager of athletics; Steffen, advisory coach; Robert Waddell, head coach, and Alfred p. Irwin, coach of the freshman team, were the speakers.

Exhibitions of dancing were given by Miss Eleanor Schad, and Mi Mary Milnack, chosn Miss Pittsburgh at the 1927 beauty pageant, posed before the Clan. MEXICAN NET LASS HELPS BEAT CUBA Mexico City, Dec. 10. A 13-year -old girl helped Mexico to victory in a Mexico-Cuba tennis match today by beating a woman star of Cuba.

7,000 SEE CONTEST Varsity Gains Most Ground, But Finds It Impossible to Make Touchdown. By MAX E. ANN' CM. For the second time this season, the Golden Panther was prevented from crossing another team's goal line. Andy Kerr's Presidents turned the trick the first time, and Charley Bowser's aggregation of old-timers duplicated the feat yesterday at the Pitt stadium.

Pitt's championship aggregation won the game. 2 to 0, a safety in the second period when Marsh Johnson's pass to Harding flew high over the latter's head, and crossed the goal line, and end line accounting for the points. About 7.000 people enjoyed the game, which brought old-time stars back to the stadium, even old Andy Hasting donning a uniform and playing through most of the first half. It was an interesting afternoon with the spectators solidly behind the old fellows, of coarse. Rooney.

Demolia and Detweiler. three ineligibles at Pitt, reinforced the ranks of the alumni team, and played the big parts in their defensive and offensive operations. The ground was rather liard. and few chances were taken by the players, but with some comedy and burlesque inserted by the veterans and regulars at interval, the show was really worth seeing. Dr.

Sutherland started his second team. When they found the going too tough to score, he sent in hi. whole first string aggregation They ripped and pulsed their way through alumni at will, but they rarely threatened to score. Something always happened when they got the ball into position either a fumble or a penalty intervening to save the cid-timers the disgrace of having their goal line crossed. AN EXCELLENT WORKOUT.

The contest proved to be an excellent workout for the varsity, lor some of the men they faced are not far from their playing prime. "Horse" Chase and "Pie" Williams proved to be two of the defensive bulwarks of their outfit, the former turning back manv line plays, and the latter swinging end runs inside with all the assurance of a veteran. Charles Bowser confined his efforts to left end, but he gave the crowd several- thrills by snaring long passes from Jimmy Roonev for good gains. In fact, a forward pass play was about the only thing the old fellows had to offer. Hastings tossed them early in the game, and Rooney picked up the burden when he entered the game.

Tommy Holleran plunged the line now and then, and it must be admitted that he gamed more ground through, center than many couege fullbacks during the past season. Tommy looked more like a motherly housewife, with all his paas on, and Hank Hangartner was broad enough to fill out a whole side of the lines. "Speedo" Laughlin. catching the opening kick, failed to give any indication as to how he originally earned his nickname. But "Jakey Bohren.

who is still active on the independent fields, was not a bit out of place in the fast company. It was Marsh Johnson, however, who proved to be the real defensive star of the day. Several times he broke up varsity plays, and the crowd TGt a real kick once when he broke through Welch's interference and nabbed Gibby by the nape of the neck, setting him gently down on the ground. The time out and substitutions rules were evidently waived for the veterans, for some of the boys, nota-blv Johnson, were in and out of the game about a dozen times. Once, when the alumni were in scoring position, a hurry call for Pie Williams found the Litter on the bench smoking a cigar.

He rushed in, but his kick was blocked, and the old fellows' sole threat to score was averted. CAN0NSBURG HIGH BASKETBALL DATES Washington. Pa Dec. 10.

10. Severance of athletic relations between the Southern Conference and the South-j ern Inter-collegiate Athletic associa tion, a sister organization, appeared imminent this afternoon as the annual session of the formei organization wa-s brought to a close. A break threatened when M. R. Hemingway, representing the University of Mississippi, charged S.

I. A. A. colleges had '-blacklisted" Mississippi insofar a.s athletic contests were concerned. The meeting was thrown into turmoil and delegates, leaping to their feet.

sought to shove through a resolution demanding severance of relations with the S. I. A. A. colleges.

Mississippi was blacklisted by the S. I. A. A. on charges of using an alleged ineligible player in a baseball game in 1925.

In conclusion, the conference adopted a resolution declaring that unless the S. I. A. A. rescinded its action and made amends to Mississippi.

Conference teams forbidden to engage in contests of any kind with member schools of the S. A. A. after the expiration of existing schedules. Such action would mean the end of many traditional football and other games in the old south, such as Georgia against Mercer and Furman; Georgia Tech against Ogiethorpe, Alabama against Birmingham; Southern and Kentucky against Center.

Application of Duke University of Durham. N. for membership in the conference was tabled with a favorable report until the next annual meeting in Nashville, in December. 1923, under the auspices of Vanderbiit university.

The conference did not vote any bylaw or constitution changes nor was any action taken on the matter of junior college eligibility and other proposed amendments. Carson-Newman college, of Tennessee, was declared not required to meet member teams under conference rules because of a small enrollment which necessitates the playing of freshmen. MaryviUe college, also of Tennessee, will be forced to abide by rules of the association when opposing member teams. For the seventh year. Vicar S.

M. C. gridders of Northside yesterday, when an opportunity for victory presented itself to his team within the last minute of play in a scoreless contest on the Ken Hi field. A 30-yard pass from Doll to Hudson put Burns on the 10-yard line with one minute left. Sharkey smashed his way to the three-yard line on the second down.

DolL who was directing the team called himself around right end and was thrown for an 8-yard loss putting the ball on the 11 and about ruining Burns' hopes. A pass on the third down failed and on the fourth try Doll again failed to make the yardage around left end. The ball went to the Northsiders on their own 8 and they barely had punted out when the final whistle blew. The "second guessers" called it "dumb order i- an end run on the 3-yard line wit.i three downs to make the goal and expressed their opinions in no uncertain tones as they left the field.
