NEW YORK, Nov. 24. It was a husky ghost of Harvard teams of years gone by that playing under the name of Camp Devens eleven defeated the football representatives from Camp Upton, at Yaphank, L. this afternoon at the Polo Grounds by a score of 7-0.

It was Minct, the former Crimson star, but now an officer in the National Army, who scored the winning touchdown, just after the second period began, after a thrillins dash for sixty yards down the field. The score resulted from a fake kick formation on the Camp Upton forty-yard line, and Palmer, the Camp Devens fullback, kicked an easy goal. That was the only damage done in the scoring line UiJ Special to The Inquirer. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.

A tail, tapering nero in a faded crimson sweater, moleskins and a pair of worn maroon socka ranged hither and on -wind-whipped Flatbush field this afternoon. He roda on the wings of the friszid breezes a grim, silent and compelling figure. Whether it "was Charlie Barrett, of old Cornell and all-American jrlory, or Gerriah or Gardner, -who tried to hurl himself through a moiling gauntlet, he was met and stopped by this blaze of Red and Biack. The negro was Paul Robeson, of Rut-gers College, and he is a minister's son. He is also 19 years of age and weighs 200 pounds.

Of his football capacity you are duly referred to Black, of Newport and ale. He can tell you. It w-aa Robeson, a veritable Othello of battle, who led the dashing little Rutgers eleven to a 14 to 0 victory over the widely-touted Newport Naval Reserves.

Penn today both I on and oft' the held displayed good sportsmanship against my young Indian pi avers. Coach Heisert, of Georgia Jech, would not allow the referee and head linesman to "keep time, but made us accept one of their players a-s the foie timekeeper. The result was the first quarter was twenty minutes, the second, 19 minutes; the third quarter was 15 minutes, and the linal quarter was only ten minutes, called because of darkness. 1 am sure of this, as two of us kept a stop watch and we tallied on the time. During the halves the Georgia Tech threatened the officials with the statement that if they were not sure of their penalties against Tech that the crowd would mob them.

Billy Sunday witnessed the game, addressed the students between the halves, and told them that he believed that Georgia Tech. could beat Penn in a return This statement concerning the treatment of the Carlisle Indians with their game with Georgia Tech was made by Coach Xeal F. Harris. of the Carlisle eleven, to Coach "Bob" Folwell in the dressing rooms after the Carlisle-Penn game yesterday afternoon. When asked if he thought that Penn.

at present, could defeat the Georgia Tech team, he said that he couldn't say, as it was hard to compare two teams which has played the same eleven, even though the intervening time is only of one week. He changed the subject by speaking well of the Penn players and how they showed the best sportsmanship during the game. They didn't seem desirous ot roughing up their smaller and weaker opponents. When a Carlisle player fell he was often helped to his feet by one of the Penn players. Coach Heisert stated he thinks that his warriors made a creditable showing against the Penn machine, as he said that his players were all young, be tween 1G and 19 years of age, and wero in poor condition for the game yesterday because of injuries resulting In the George Tech game.

He modestly stated that he counted on Carlisle having good chances to. beat Penn until Charlie Walker, the regular centre, bad to be kept out of the game because of a sprained ankle, Casey Jones, Carlisle's centre, who was injured in the second quarter of the game, was taken to the University Hospital, where he will be confined for a lew days. When interviewed at the hospital, he 'stated that when the Penn line charged in one of the plays, he was lifted from his feet and landed on the small of his back. He sustained internal injuries and torn ligaments in his legs. Although he was in pain, he managed to smile Avhen his coach walked in to see him at the hospital.

Another Carlisle player, who was taken out of the game because of injuries, Togguchi, full-back, whose neck was injured when he was being tackled. The Indian players had only words of praise to say for the Red and Blue players after the game in their dressing room. They said that Penn wasn't rough, only with a few small exceptions. One of the red-skinned players said, "One Penn player, he hit me in the iace; 1 hit another Penn man, and it wraa all right. I nor they got sore." Penn came through the struggle "with only a few minor injuries.

O'Gorman, who played the last two quarters of the game at right tackle, had his ankle sprained, but will be in condition for practice on Monday or Tuesday. "Bert" Bell injured his elbow that has been giving him trouble since the Dartmouth game, and said that it pained him a little, but that it was only temporary. Captain "Heinie" Miller had his left hand lacerated in the last quarter and Doctor Hancock, team's physician, treated it after the game. He said that "Heinie" would be ready for the Cornell game.

Victory for Bsllefonto BELLEFONTE. Nov. 24 (Special). The Bellefonte Academy eleven closed Its season here today with a victory over Lewistown Athletic viub or a cor to e. QnC in its fantastic and multiform arts, and opularly designated as the strongest loot-ail eleven in the United States, the thick- pet naval warriors came down from Newport yesterday upon victory and added glory bent.

They had trimmed Brown and Harvard and that the smooth-skinned youths from tne banks of the Raritan could stop them well, it was impossible. But it -wasn't. The Navy's last transitory show of impreesiveness faded when their signal practice was done and the referee's whistle blew for the opening quarter. But forty-four minutes thereafter Foster ianford's ghost fooled machine ran the Navy ends and pierced her bulking line and, in other words, gave Dr. Bull, "Cupid" Black et as pretty a drubbing as you please.

The Navy was perplexed and then stung by this amazing actuality; then it was enveloped completely in the tracery of Rutgers' perfected attack and it fought blindly and wrathfully to stave off a lopsided victory. And as a thorn in her flesh the tall, tapering Robeson, commanding Rutgers' secondary line dived under and spilled her wide, oblique angled runs, turned back her line plunges and carried the burden of the defense so splendidly that in forty-four minutes the ex-All-American backs, who axe fixed luminaries in the mythology of the gridiron, made precisely two first downs. Rutgers, peculiarly enough, earned her victory with football cut from an old-fashioned pattern. There was little deception and les3 of threat in the Maroon's attack. She made the majority of her gains by concentrating her offensive on points along the Naval line, now shoot-ina through Black, Callahan or Schlacter, and again turning the tackles in and the ends out for a cross drive off tackle.

If on such a glorious day Rutgers could be in any measure disappointing it was in the fact that her aerial attack certainly was subsidized to straight line plunging football and lacked the deft predion of those plays which wrapped up the heavy Naval forwards and tumbled hem backward. But aerial play contains dinger of the unexpected. Rutgers was sailing along in front, with a two touth-down margin to her credit and the boys from the Raritan refused in the ultimate period to take a chance. Had they showed anything like a successful overhead attack in the final period the score would have been larger. As a matter of fact Rutgers eschewed the atmospheric offensive after the eec-ong period, when the long arnts of Robeson nabbed a forward pass from White-hill on the Navy's 3-yard line and crashed over the line with tacklers striving desperately to haul him back onto the gridiron.

After that Sanford's team contented itself by shooting at the Navy's heavy lines and making sporadic asaults upon her ends. Offensively the Navy was even more of a bloomer than she was on the defense. Rutgers picked off the primitive interference proffered Charlie Barrett, and the fast-stepping Ithaca boy could not get started. There was one notable exception in the third period, when Whitehill vaa boxed in on the right wing and Barrett ricocheted 11 yards down the field before he was dumped. That was one of the Navy's two first downs.

The other was made in the second period on three line stabs, Gerrish fighting his way free for a first down. Ruteers. Positions. 2d Naral Ties Ereckley Right end Green (Dartmouth) Ilcndall (Caot.) Iturht tackle Trier t. in -rw (Brown) Rollins.

Caughey crashed through tackle for the Usaacs' third touchdown which was followed by a goal by Murphy. This ended the scoring of the Ambulance men, as hereafter, play was continually in their territory with their opponents' strik'rm hard and effectively. Before the period closed Conn and Caughey in turn had the ball in a possible scoring position, but end running and line plunging gradually ceased to pierce into the opposing lines.

However, the L'saacs continued to outclass the officers in the matter of contributing first downs. Diring the opening half the Ambulance men were successrul by a ratio of thre to one against the Camp Meade team in this respect. Murphy, in the dying chances of his team to score any more points missed a goal from field, he standing on the 35-yard line against the wind. It was the only one he tried during his stay in the battle. fetoney, the man who shared with Phil Barry, in the first mention of praise, that goes to the Camp Meade team, in tercepted a forward pass that gave the officers the ball just prior to the final period.

Of course the Camp Meade eleven resorted to almost anything to carry it into the stretcher-bearers' territory and shortly began opening up the attack. Stoney took a long one that put his team in midfield. Welch then stirred the crowd by snatching the ball and running 45 yards for the officers' first touchdown, bhortly kicked the goal mid the cheering of thousands. The officers' received the kick and there was a desperation in their attack. Shortly and Welch in turn smashed the swiftly crumpling line of the Usaacs.

Welch broke through for a run of 20 yards for a first down and apparently another touchdown. Welch hurled a long pass to Stoney, who received the ball and tore down the field for another first down. The determination of Welch was felt by all. for he grabbed the ball on a closed formation and crossed the Usaacs' line. When he kicked the corresponding goal he had scored all of the points for his team, but it ended there.

With the officers still hopeful of victory Mylin, the former Franklin and Marshall midget, was sent into Schoch's place. Here the crowd sent forth a deafening cheer as Mylin had been called for, but owing to an injury up to this time watched the match. He was in the game only one minute when time was called.

Captain Dunn was directing the attack of his team at the start in place of young Mike Murphv, the worthy son of a worthy father, who starred in the recent Usaacs-Marine battle on Franklin Field. It did not take any time for the crowd, a9 well as the opposing players, to see the ability of Dunn's strong toe in punting an asset that noticeably nelp-ed the Ambulance athletes to carry the play into the officers' territory during the first period. The attack of the visitors during the early period was a mixture of the aerial offense and long runs by Brewer. Cramer, respected as the peerless -line-plunger of all service elevens, of course, made his presence felt by terrific line bucks. Cubbasre, the boy who once wore the Central High colors, and who recently played with Penn State, was the recipient of a forward pass at this juncture that netted his team twenty-five yards.

Just as the Ambulance team was about to cross the officers' line, Brewer fumbled, but this team lost little, as Welch, the little redskin, kicked poorly. Cramer grabbed one of Dunn's long passes, and with time almost up for the period, the Usaacs held the ball on the opponents' 10-yard line. Now the favorites were struggling not only against a mighty force of former collegians, but against the wind. It required at the opening of the second period three plays before Cramer, the crasher, was over for the first touchdown of the highly entertaining affair. Captain Dunn, the erstwhile Michigan man, kicked the incidental goal.

The Usaacs kicked off to the officers, and Shortly was jolted so roughly that his team gained half the distance to the goal line for the stretcher-bearers misdoing. Captain Welch's warviors, however, in their attempt to advance the ball, were met with terrible resistance made by such men as Pike Johnson, Lindsay Moore and Farel, of the Usaacs' first 'line of defense, that little ground was gained. From the 35-yard line, with the wind in his favor, Welch tried a goal from field, the ball flying wide and short. Captain Jack Dunn again marshaled his charges and set out against trying conditions down the muddy area, rwo peses which involved Cubbage and Fran eke, the giant wingmen. failed for Dunn's men.

Dunn then having his team in mid-field called for a kick formation but fooled the enemy by hurling the ball to Cubbage who snatched it from the mob near the five-yard line. Here Cramer, the ever reliable, was sent across for the Usaacs' second touchdown. Dunn missed the goal giving his team a lead of 13 points, when half time was When play was resumed the Ambulance combination was of a decidedly new makeup. Young Murphy was sent in to direct a scoring: machine that consisted of Wright and Caughev aside from himself. New ends were called to operate where those oul.V a few minutes previously had performed so alertly.

The Camp Meade team remained the same, one change having been made when Schoch, the former Cornell player, replaced Frank Tighe, the once noted Pennsylvanian, who entered today's contest noticeably out of condition. Caughey, the former Californian. and Tuffy Conn, of Oregon fame, easily continued the speedy attack earlier es tahliflheil bv Dunn and Brewer.

24. The football representatives of the United States Ambulance serivce, claimants of the national inter-service title, carried away a 20 to '14 victory on their stretchers from the Camp Meade Officers' eleven here this afternoon before 8000 persons, perhaps the greatest crowd that ever assembled within the Circus Maximus fiield. Those devotees of the great autumn pastime who swarmed about the stands and soggy field departed in the impressive procession of motor ambulances and pleasure cars absolutely satisfied with the thrilling contest, one which lagged somewhat in the first half owing to the regular offensive strength of the victors, but grew intensely exciting near the finish when the Camp Meade kickers through a brilliant rally almost tied the standing. It was a game of football long to be remembered by representatives of both sides as although the Usaacs were conceded victory prior to the match they were scared as if on the battle field of the great war before time was called for the termination of struggling. Captain Dudley Clarke, a former 'Varsity player and recent assistant coach of the Oregon University team, and Lieutenant William E.

Rakhx the men who were in charge of the Ambulance athletes, breathed a deep sigh of rebel hen the mighty cheer went through the cool, crisp air at the end. Captain Clarke surprised the great mass by substituting with the exception of two men his entire lineup at the opening of play. Very few individuals could fathom the bit of generalship, but the worthy coach apparently knew his position as honors went his way despite the gallant stand and retrieval hia opponents displayed. Seated in the stands notwithstanding the biting wind that blew across the valley was the veteran Indian Exendine, coach of the- Georgetown University team, which is to meet the!
