SUNDAY MORNING THE SHREVEPORT TIMES OCTOBER 22, 1922 EMTTEMARY COLLEGE IS BEATEN HARARE) FBMDRa CEMTKI Razorbacks Are Given Trouncing Tennessee Club Proves Too Shifty For Locals; Vandy Conquers Texas U. Again; Has Hard Fight Contest Is Hard Fought 'Praying Colonels9 Give Exhibition of Gamenessf Early Fumbles AreFatal' By ARTHUR ROBINSON 1 Universal Service Staff Correspondent. Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, Oct. 21. A few months wo the players of Centre college football team pooled the blood of their bodies and gave it to the sister of "Red" Roberts, their captajn.

The transfusion failed and the girl died. Today the Centre players expended their hearts and bodies in 0 an effort to repeat their victory of last year over Harvard. No team had ever beaten Harvard twice in succession on Its own field. No team ever has. The record remains inviolate.

Hughes Or Williams? Boxing Colony Puzzled Over Naming Favorite Br JOE R. CARTER Who shall It be Bobby Hutrhei or Kid Williams? That's the question the boxing funs of Shreveport are asking themselves today in trying to make up their minds who they, would like to have represent the city in the bantamweight colony. Hughes and Williams are scheduled to battle it out among themselves for the honor tomorrow niht at the Southern Athletic club but the boxing colony is undecided as to whom they should support' when the contest gets under way. Some are, "pulling" for Williams, others for Hughes, but sooner or later a break must come and a favorite he made that will tip the scale of popularity just a little bit instead of leaving it hanging in the balance. Who will get that break? That's the question.

Bv JOE R. CARTER Out-smarted in one play and the victims of a bad break In another, both resulting in touchdowns, the Centenary Gentlemen yesterday after noon went down to defeat before the Tennessee University Doctors by the score of 14 to 0. It was the first time this season the locals had finished on the short score of a contest. The Doctors 'hive not met defeat in two years. with the ball on Centre's 45-yard months ago to "build nn a reputa Many of the veterans of the ring-S ara stringing with Hughes cluimlng that Bobby's experience will carry him through to victory.

Other "old heads," and many of the younger element, are casting their lot with Williams, saying the rushing slugging tactics of Williams will prove too much for Hughes. They say Williams' punching power will cut down "Bobby" the same as it did Joe Flaher, of Fort Worth, Texas. Hughes, while a native of New Iberia, has been looked upon as a Shreveport boy, and in all of his ring engagements has been introduced from this city. He made his start in the boxing game here about ten years ago. Williams, a native son, has come to the front in the last few years.

lie has grown Jealous of Hughes' claim to being the best bantam in Louisiana and wants the title as his own, and it was on his request the match was made. Williams was not eiven the contest with Hughes without first, being tried out.

Harvard boat Centre. 24 to 10, while crowd of 52,000 looking on, groaned first and remained to be thrilled by the nature of the stouthearted flfcl't that Centre waged tn the fact of what seemed to be a crushing handicap. litu-vard Quickly Scores. The groan changed to a prayer and then to a cheer of mingled exultation and expectation.

Harvard scored three touchdowns In tne first period, two of them the result of fumbles, but the Centre players put tholr 'hearts and shoulders to the wheel and plodded on. For the remainder of the game Centre outplayed Harvard, but tho coiuteciuences of the fumbles made earlier in the game were disastrous. The hand of late came down with a thud on the Kentuckiana but they struggled to their knees and fought on. Centre revealed a strange formation during the play, a kind of lock step march, such as the prisoners at Sing Blng employ. It waa this formation which brought disaster to Centre.

It wasted much time, accomplished nothing and was finally discarded. Roberts, of whom much was expected, was shifted to full back to take the place of Tom Bartlott, ill in a hospital here with a badly swollen throat. His condition la critical. Centre has dreamed its dream and the dream has become a nightmare. Two years ago It came forth from panvllle, and waged a sensational fight against Harvard.

It lost, 81 to 14, and last year it won, 6-0. Back yonder In Danville, at Happy Richardson's barber shop, the winter months wea-e crowded with talk of the game which was played today. The centre players and the few Kentuckians who accompanied them north have a sad story to take back. It is a story of what" might have been a dream that might have been realized but for the lock step shift, fumbling and bad selection of plays. Huberts Does His) ran.

Roberts did hla part In a strange role. Covington gained consistently in the last half and broke away for a run of 35 yards. He would have scored a touchdown but for the obstacles which his own team mates threw In hla path. Roberta, however, was a bulwark on the defense and it was in this branch which he scintillated. The breaks went against Centre, but Centre made the breaka And when Centre awoke It was too late.

Like- Monte Cristo, Centre ould have said: "The world Is mine but Centre lost its power of expression in the first few minutes of play, and stuttered through the of the half. What It said therearter was Interesting and spectacular, but indecisive. The dream dissolved In the mldat of disappointment. Centre won the toss and Fltte, Harvard's right end, kicked off over the goal line and Centre put the ball In play on Its own zu-yara Jlne. Centre tried a double pass for Its first Diay and Bnowaay rumDiea There was a mad scramble for the ball and Fitts pounced upon It near the side lines on Centre's four-yard Une.

Harvard cheers and the lay pub lln ffroana. Then on the next play Owen crashes through the loft side of the line for a touchdown, uzm than a half minute of play had elansed. Kuoll dropklckcd the goal for a point from touchdown and tne score is 7 to 0. Roberts kicks off low to Buell on Harvard's 40-yard line, who runs the ball back 10 yards. The crowd leaps to Its feet as Gehrke has fumbled Creger has recovered and it is Cen tre's ball on Harvard's line for a first down in three plays, but here, Centre resorts to a forward pass and Gehrke redeems himself for his faea-ble by intercepting the ball.

An exchange of punts follows and (By AMoelntod Pre,) Dallas, Texas, Oct, 21. The Van-derbilt Commodores won their second successive gume from the University of Texas Longhorna since the two teams resumed football relations last year at the Fair, Park stadium here today. The score of 20 to 10, well reflects the closeness and even fierceness ef the contest. Superior Offensive. The Commodores won by virtue of superior offensive strength when they had the ball In scoring position.

The Texans repeatedly had opportunities to score, but in all but two instances the needed punch was lacking. Ths Texas defense, too, was far from airtight, while after the second period the Vanderbilt defense was Impregnable. Oil Reese, the stocky blonde halfback of the Commodores, was virtually the whole works so far as scoring points was concerned. It seemed that whenever Vanderbilt needed a touchdown, they called on Reese, and he delivered. Reese was hard for ths Texans to catch, and hard to hold after ha was caught.

Reese was ably assisted In the ground gaining by Quarterback Kuhn, whose all around play and good generalship cannot be ovurlnuded. Neill's punting also featured. Texas drew first blood, scoring a field goal from the toe of Quarterback Stacy within four minutes after the game opened. The lead was short-lived, however, as Reese bucked over for Vandy's first touchdown shortly after the second kiok-off. A Texas fumble peved the way for this score.

Wakefield kicked goal. Recso ran Vandy's total to 13 when he made a 45-yard broken field run for their second touchdown. The try at goal failed, Texas' first and only touchdown came early in the second period, when Culp bucked over the line after a long go In by Marley and a penalty against Vanderbilt put the ball in scoring position. Robertson subbing for Eckhardt, kicked goal, and Texas' scoring was over. The third period was scoreless.

In the last period Vandy completed their first pass of the game, Neely to Bomar, and was good for a gajn of 50 yards. With the ball on their 6-yard line, Texas fought desperately to prevent a score, but the irresistible Reese evaded all tacklerg and chalked up his third touchdown. Wakefield kicked goal. Texas Offensive Wakes I'p. Texas displayed a strong offensive In the last period, working several long passes.

But the Vanderbilt defense was not to be penetrated when the goal was threatened. Texas' chances suffered Irreparable injury in the third period when Stacy was forced from the game with a sprained ankle. His playing up to that point had largely kept his team in the running. Added to this was the retirement of Gilstrap with an injured arm. GUstrap's defensive work at end waa sorely missed.

This time Harvard kicked off. In the immediate wake of a curious maneuver, the Centre team stiffened and shifted several times, the Crimson players following them. Covington fumbled and Owen re- covered.

Here ths Harvard defense stiffened and Covington dropped- back to the 20-yard line and kicked a field goal. Score, 4 Harvard 21, Centre 8. Harvard kicked off again and Centre resumed the lock step, retracing the line of march as many as four times. The weather waa fine for walking, but the strolling involved waste of much time. On the third piny, three Harvard-' men were wounded and Lee, who had succeeded Buell, was patched up by the Harvard trainer.

After Covington had wriggled away for a 10-yard gain, a forward pass was tried and Gehrke intercepted it. Kubale was injured and time was taken Kubale resumed play amid many cheers. Three line plsys failed to gala much and Pfamman who was rushed into the game at this point, kicked a neat field goal from a difficult angle. Score, Harvard 24, Centre 8.

Another play and the second period ended. I Buell returned to the Harvard line at the beginning of the third quarter. Chapin fumbled a Centre punt as he was tackled and (lordy recovered for Centre at mldfieid. Two exchanges of punts followed and then Covington electrified the crowd by making a 85-yard ran through an open field. He seemed to be- cleared for a touchdown then his interference clogged his path and he was brought down on Harvard's 27- yard mark.

Covington, carrying the ball on nearly every play brought the ball to the 12-yard mark. The period ended with Centre having the ball half a yard from a touchdown. At the start of the final period Roberts hurled himself at the Harvard line without a gain.

Apparently humiliated by the fact that tliuir goal had (been crossed for the first time this season, by the Iiazorbgcki hardly before the gain had wull begun, thg Baylor University Bears came back with a vengeance today at the Cotton Palace stadium, and sent Arkansas University home defeated by the score of 60 to 13.

As in previous games, Weslev Bred-shaw, quarterback, and Russell 215-pound back, both of Baylor, were co-stars, breaking through the weak Arkansas defense at will. Johnny Tanner, of Baylor, was a human catapult that tore the opposing lines to shreds. The Rnzorbncka scored their 13 points through aerial attack, the equal of which probably never was seen In Waco before. Twelve of the 16 attempts et passing were successful for a distance of 143 yards. It waa to Hansard that most of the Razorbacks' passes were successfully thrown.

Iowa Given Hard Game by Illinois (Ry Aesoelatrw Tree.) t'rhana, Oct. 21.

Illinois fighting a desperate battle and playing their heavier Iowa opponents to a standstill lost one of the hardest fought football battles ever staged ea Ulineis 'field. te 7. The eonteit was played at theV Louisiana State Fair and th attendance numbered several thousand. It was a hard fought battle from beginning to and with the doctors having lightly the better of the play in all departments. Their biggest advantage, though, was in the kicking of White, who gained from 10 to 15 yards for his club every time the two teams were forced to exchange punts.

White's booting was greatly responsible in keeping the Tennes-aeeans' goal line intact. The locals Esined much ground on the visitors ut it was usually after they had keen sent far back the field by one of White's long boots. By the time they had worked the ball back toward where they were dangerous they had pent their driving power and were tther held for downs or forced -to punt. The first touchdown for the Doe-tors cama In the second period after both clubs bad staged a punting duel la the first quarter. A cleverly executed pass that brought the ball to the one-yard line was responsible for the first score.

The pass came after the Doctors bad failed at a try for a place kick. Both teams were declared off aide and the ball waa put back in play on the 25-yard line. The Doctors again lined up for a place kick, but Instead worked a pass. It took Centenary and the crowd by surprise. White tossed to Leak who went to within one yard of the goal line before he waa downed.

White then carried the ball over and also kicked goal. It was a smart play fey a smart crew and neatly worked. The second touchdown came in the third quarter and resulted from a bad break for Centenary. With the bell on the 26-yard line Button made a bad pass and Ford recovered. Cn-tenary held the Doctors or downs but the ball was still within their 80-yard line.

Denman attempted to kick and made a little pop-up that went about 10 yards. Weaver caught the ball to keep it from bounding back to Centenary's goal line and his team was penalized five yards, putting the ball in play on Centenary's 2-yard line. White made a 10-yard paaa to Sanders who went 15 yards for a touchdown. White kicked goal. While Denman'a kicking waa overshadowed by the punting by White, he made some nice eboots and an even break on the kick from the goal line, that went for a fluke of ten yards, would have brought the ball eut o'f Centenary's territory and probably saved them a touchdown.

The doctors presented a cracker-jack lineup and a real star in Sanders, who tips the beam about 130 pounds, without his football regalia. Sanders continually found opening in Centenary's line and. moved the ball up for five and eight-yard gains at a time. Often he made it possible for Doak or Raine to score first owns with short end runs He figured in two short passes and displayed considerable once going over 15 yards on an end run. Captain Ford of the visitors, played a good defensive game.

He intercepted a pass from Farrell and showed plenty of skill in following the ball. He recovered two 'fumbles made by Centenary. Although they were out-played in the majority of the game, Centenary braced up well in the second half and in the final quarter out-played the They completed oral short passes and their attempts at 25-yard passes completely worried the Medicos. Twice Farrell and Weaver tried 25-yard passes, but tbey were missed by only a fraction of an inch. The aerial attack toward the elose kept the visitors hustling.

Bard Farrell lived up to early advance notices and with Denman gained most of the ground for Centenary. Terrell's end runs netted many yards and in the second half ee gave his followers a thrill when he went 15 yards around left end before he was downed. Just before the first half ended, Farrell and Denman made several big gains on the doctors. Weaver also showed up well, taking a couple of short passes from Farrell. In the latter tages of the battle Centenary outplayed the Tennesseeans forced them to wage a defensive game.

The doctors found Centenary's line easy at times end Sanders, Doak and Bain each bad chances to advance on. plunges.

BILLY EVANS SAYS LiiU the Giants win four straight games In the world series That question haa been nut to me time and again since the close of the series. It seems there Is a slight difference of opinion on that point, Back in 1907 the Chicago Cubs played the Detroit Tigers. The first game resulted in a tie.

Then the Cubs proceeded to take four In a row. At the close of the series there was some discussion as to whether or not the Cubs won in four straight. The consensus wsji that the Cuba had beaten the Tigers In four straight games. It was eaey to ar gue the point because after the first game ended in a tie, the Cubs did go out and win four straight. When the point Is raised about a team winning four straight games In a world series, the Inference is that one team will capture four straight before the other club wins a game.

A tie Is not a victory, of course, as a matter of fact, since no decision Is reache In such a game, It is really regarded in the light of no contest. There are those who ar.gue that the Giants did not win four straight They Insist the Oiants won the fire game, that the second waa a tie, breaking the winning streak, and that the Giants then proceeded to win three in a row. There little logic and no sportsmanship to such an argu ment. A club wins until It loses. The fact that the second game was a tie does not enter Into the discus sion.

The Olanta won our games In the series, and the Tankees didn't win a single games hence the Oiants must have won four In a row. In order to break a winning streak a team or Individual must suffer dofeat. The closest the Tanks came to winning a game was a to 8 tie. Of couree, those desirous to bang sn argument on a Thread technicality, will insist that the Giants did not win four straight since "five games were played. However, such an argument lacks any reasonable foundation.
