X. SUBMARINE ATTACK GAINS FIRST SCORE FOR TEMPLE AS Cherry and White fullback slips through converging Keydet tacklers on GEORGE SUTCH DIVES ACROSS IN OWLS 28-13 plunge from two-yard line to tally first of his two touchdowns CONQUEST OF V. M. in battle at Temple Stadium I. UNDER ARCS last night.

15,000 Watch Owls Capture Second Game By FRED BYROD Temple University's power-packed football team smashed through Virginia Military Institute for a touchdown in the first six plays last night, yielded an equalizing touchdown to the gallant Southerners in almost as short a time, and eventually had to use all its resources to gain a 28-13 victory before 15,000 sensation-sated spectators at the Temple Stadium. There was no doubt that Temple was the better team, but it wasn't until late in the third quarter when the out-manned Keydets began to weaken physically, that the Owls took a decisive grip on the game. And even in defeat, the dead-game visitors, attacking to the very finish, had the satisfaction of outgaining the Owls in first downs, 15 to 12. TEMPLE STARTS FAST At the outset, it seemed as if Temple's terrific assault would sweep the Virginians from the field. George Sutch, the Owls 200-pound battering ram.

returned the opening kickoff 25 yards to his 24, and then, alternating with Captain Andy To-masic, never stopped until the ball was over the goal line. To-masic's 22-yard run was the longest in this drive climaxed by Sutch's two-yard smash and followed by Henry Zajkowski's placement conversion of the extra point. Bvt if there was any pity for the Southerners after this reversal it was wasted, for their Hosh Pitchard in turn lugged Larry Brahm's kickoff back 42 yards to midfield, all but getting loose for the full trip. And then Joe Muha, who ran Just as hard as Pritcharri and hit harder, took over. V.

M. I. TIES SCORE He crashed the line three times for a first down, passed to Mike Ducko for another. Muha and Pritchard took a shot apiece at the line, and it was a first down on the six. Here the Owls piled up a running play and a pass went astray, but then gave the Southerners five yards for offside.

V. M. I. called upon Muha again and on the second try he went over, ramming through Temple's left tackle. Then he place-kicked the extra point to tie the score.

The tie didn't last long, however, for the first time Captain Nelson Catlett, of V. M. dug his toe into a punt Tomasic seized the ball and scooted back 43 yards for his fourth touchdown of the still-infant season. Andy dodged a couple of tacklers as he gained speed, wriggled loose from one who apparently had him after lie had gone 20 yards, and then picked up teammates who cut down pursuers. This time Brahm place-kicked the extra point and Temple again was seven points to the good.

OWLS TAKE 21-7 LEAD As the second quarter began, four sophomores co-operated in getting Temple seven more points. Rush Stehlln's interception of a Catlett pass on V. M. 30 was the opening wedge. Tony DITomo passed to Papiano for a first down on the 14.

and after Papiano had lost two and a pass had grounded. DiTomo heaved another to John Sylvester for a touchdown. Papiano place-kicked the extra point. The fortunes swung the other way soon after, however, as Muha fumbled on his 30 and DiTomo recovered for the Owls. But this time DiTomo attempted a pass to the flat and it was Intercepted by Catlett.

who sped back 59 yards to Temples six before he was nailed by Beshunsky. Two plays later, Pritchard dove over for a touchdown, but Muha's placekick on the extra point attempt veered wide of the uprights. V. M. I.

HALTED V. M. I. had failed Inches short of another touchdown in the first quarter when Muha was stopped after a 60-yard advance and in the Radnor High Beats Upper Bar by, 12 to 7 Emlen Tunnell, All-Suburban back, carried on in a blaze of glory yesterday at Wayne as a rejuvenated Radnor High eleven opened the Suburban Big Six race by grinding out a 12-7 victory over Upper Darby's veteran combination. From start to finish, all eyes were on this Negro youth as he passed, kicked, blocked and carried the ball with sensational form for so early in the season.

Just as the World Series was edging toward the grim, belligerent stage and moving into this city, where such conditions make Old Home Week, the weather fogged in and called a 2-1-hour halt, which may last longer, today. The third contest, with Dodgers and Yankees tied at one victory apiece as they left the Stadium, was postponed by ukase of that grand vizier of the game, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The High Commissioner, who runs October's Classic with a stern and able hand, got Radnor touchdowns, while al- West Chester Wins, 28 to 6 Special to The Inquirer WEST CHESTER.

Oct. 3. Held scoreless by plucky little Stroudsburg Teachers in the first quarter, West Chester Teachers gained momentum to punch over four touchdowns and add four extra points to defeat the up-State eleven, 28 to 6, before 1500 here tonight. Outweighed and outnumbered in reserves by three to one, Stroudsburg yielded two touchdowns in the second period, then fell victim to a near-perfect West Chester passing attack, good for two more tallies, in the second half. TWARDOWSKI CONVERTS Accurate Eddie Tvvardowski, local guard, place-kicked all of West Chester's extra points.

Eddie Wieland, on a two-yard plunge, broke the Ice for the Rams early in the second quarter. Then Larry Umstead snared a pass tossed by Barney Williams for fourteen yards and the victors' second marker. Williams, who connected on nine out of ten heaves during hit stay in the battle, later tossed a bulleye to Vince Fucci for another score after Bob Parrott and Dick Wisneski teamed out West Chester's third tally.

Into i id Layout 50,000 fo See Penn-Harvard Harvard, bereft of triumph over Pennsylvania fen 33 years, comes to Franklin Field this afternoon for the ivy-festooned inaugural of the Quakers' 65th football season. Unless there is rain almost as overdue as the Crimson's victory quest a crowd of 50,000 is expected to view the clash of the Ivy Leaguers, who last year battled to a 10-10 tie, the closest Harvard has been to conquest over Penn since winning fcy 17-10 in 1903. Penn won five times in that streak, half its all-time victory total, while Harvard scored 13 decisions over the Quakers back in football's handle-bar mustache days. But today Harvard, with a team well-schooled in the intricacies ol attack by Dick Harlow, will rule the favorite over the inexperienced and injury-ridden squad of George Mun-ger. SIX CRIMSON STARTERS Harvard has back six of last year's Franklin Field starters and a seventh who played almost the full game, while Munger can call only three ol those who faced the Crimson for the opening kickoff in '40.

The Crimson's veterans are Loren MfcKinney. he punting end; Vernon Miller, a 250-poundcr who didn't iart. but played three quarters last rear, and Tom Gardiner, tackles; Endy Peabody and Dick Pfister, guards; George Heiden, quarterback, and Captain Franny Lee, the slick tailback and safety man. Of the 11 named as probable ftarters by Munger yesterday as the Quaker drilled on Franklin Field for the first time this year, only Captain Gene Davis, the signal-calling blocking back; Bert Kuczynski, let end, and Al Brechka. right guard, enjoyed the same distinction last season.

Layden notified both Coaches Earle (Greasy) Neale, of the Eagles, and Jock Sutherland, of the Dodgers, to appear, along with other officials of their club. The Eagles are scheduled to play an exhibition game in Providence tomorrow night, so Neale called back Assistant Coach John Kelllson, who had gone to Pittsburgh on a scouting trip, to take charge of the team.

Betty Abernethy Wins State Golf PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3 (A. Betty Abernethy, Pittsburgh, won the Pennsylvania women's golf championship today by defeating Mrs. William G. Boggs, Pittsburgh, 1 up, at the Oakmont Country Club.

Miss Abernethy's victory was a reiHtition of her 1939 performance when she triumphed over Mrs. Boggs in the final of the State tourney at Reading. The former champion came from behind on the home nine to win. Mrs. Boggs was one up at the turn and three up at the 12th tee.

Miss Abernethy squared the match on the 15th, won the 16th and clung to the lead to the finish. Germantown Acad. Grid Winner Germantown Academy opened its football campaign with a 20-6 victory over the St. James of Chester yesterday at Germantown ave. and School lane.

It was pretty doubtful when he stated that a ball game could be played, but the Judge is no man for hearsay evidence, and presently was walking out upon the field to inspect conditions. He wore rubbers and a raincoat, carried his trusty umbrella, but there was no attitude of appeasement about him. "I'li not make up my mind for uu hour he said to Leo Duro-cher, manager of the National Leaguers. CONI'IDENT Larry MacPhail gets weather reports from LaGuardia Field; perhaps he can tell us whether it's apt to clear," said Durochcr hopefully, for the lippy manager waj gorged with confidence that his boys would take the lead. He had Fred Fitzsimmons and his humpty-dumpty knuckle ball all primed to do the business, following as Fat Freddy would, the fast stuff that won for Wyatt.

When the Dodger president and general manager was reached and a second call to the airport confirmed his report the rain would continue all day, perhaps Saturday as well, the Judge called waiting scribes to the Ebbets Field press room and announced postponement.

The World Series was coming along and there he was trudging up and down San Fran-riico streets, carrying telegrams. He Just had to got back to Brooklyn. So Bernard slipped aboard an airliner last night and hid in the rest room. The stewardess found him, the plane made an unscheduled stop here and Bernard was turned over to the sheriff. He was taken to the city limits and shown the road east.

If he does more hitching than hiking and them Bums extend the series Bernard may get to Brooklyn for the last game. West Phila. Tied By Ben Franklin By EDWARD J. KLEIN With two downs left and the ball on West Philadelphia High's three-yard line, time snuffed out Benjamin Franklin High's golden touchdown chance yesterday and so these football foes, playing their first 1941 game in the Public Conference, wound up scoreless at 29th and Cambria sts. Going overhead with less than a minute to go, the Poor Richards swept 45 yards on two plays as Steve Cherneky twice pitched pretty passes to Jim Dunlap, rangy end.

Dunlap grabbed Chcrneky's second aerial, heaved from the Speedboys' 25, on the 20 and knifed to the nine before he was brought down. WHISTLE ENDS THREAT Time remained for only two plays and both times Franklin gave the ball to the hard-running Cherneky. Twice Steve cracked at the centre of West's stubborn wall and. though he picked up five yards on the first thrust, his last try gained but three feet. The whistle sounded before the teams could line up again.

It was the third successive scoreless tie for the touchdown-starved Speed-boys, who stalemated earlier in non-conference clashes with Bethlehem and John Bartram. WILLIAMS' PUNTS AID Only stout defensive duty and Bud Williams' long punts saved West from defeat.
