FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 12, 1926 HIDDEN BALL TRICK WINS FOR CENTENARY 1M Yellow Jacket i Win Nort Louisiana Prep School Grid Championship -L- Seven Thousand See Local ElevenBeatOldRivalFrom L. P. I. By Clever Strategy By JOE R.

CARTER A HIDDEN ball trick that baffled the opponents and left 7,000 or more spectators wondering what it was all about gave the itmry Gentlemen a 7 to 0 victory over the Louisiania Polytechnic 'Institute of Ruston when the grid teams met on the Centenary field Ihursday after a. break in football relations that had lasted for two STARS OF THE ARMISTICE DAY Shreveport Boys Eliminate Haynesville From Race for State Football Laurels By LEON L. BOOTH TIIE Shreveport high school Yellow Jackets set their sails at Centenary stadium Thursday morning and drifted to the north Louisiana prep school championship honors before the Golden Tornado of the Haynesville high school. The Tornado also blew the Jackets into line for the state championship honors. Th4 game was played at Centenary stadium as part of an elabo-rate football schedule here for the Armistice day celebration.

The score was 20 to 7. Hanna, Tinnclle and Holland were the point makers for the Jackets. The game was witnessed by a crowd estimated at more than 6,500, which is believed to be the largest to ever witness a prep football hidden ball trick was pulled in the third quarter, after the had battled to a scoreless tie, and after the Gentlemen had tossed off repeated chances to score by costly fumbles and the Poly-iech crew, known asf the Bulldogs, had failed to make the best of their, opportunities. 'It marked the only touchdown and the extra point was added when Bear Allday lifted the oval between the uprights following the touchdown. lift fyil iNf If.

IT, I. 5V I If 3 I Wi JifTi I uienn ietteer, the man war, ofy the Gents' staff and prob-jly fastest football in these parts, was. the player who scored thi touchdown from the hidden ball feat The Gents were fighting with their backs to the wall on their own 45-yard line when the "magic" of the gridiron was performed. Letteer had returned to the game on a previous play. When the Gents lined up for their second trial to register tho 10 yards, the ball snapped to the quarterback.

At that instant all seemed to lose trace of tha pigskin. The Gents' backfield swept to the right and the front line moved out to run interference for the ball carriers. Tech piled into tha interfyrenca bu' they soon learned the ball was not there. Before any of the opposition fAetlival nihof hnnnrnait nftnnti mns moving down tha opposite side of the field headed for the goal. He reached there without a struggle.

While they kept the ball in the Gents' territory a great amount of the time fa the first half they were unable to make any lerious threats in the closing minutes the third quarte or in the fourth. Shreveport and Ruston turned out itrong for the contest and they were presented witn a nifty game of hard fought but clean throughout. There(wa not a penalty inflicted for roughness of any sort.

The Gent and supporters were assigned separate sides of the field and they displayed their friendly rivalry with loud cheers. Between the halves students of Centenary cheered for Louisiana Tech and the Tech follow, ers yelled for Centenary. The students were in sep rate sections of the east stand. Outside, of the fumbles the game was played with few mistakes by either team. In the midst of the battle the Centenary linemen stood out.

Clarence Hamel at end played a remarkable game, while Rebsamen's work as a roving center saved his team on several occasions. He broke up a couple of passes intercepted two when the Bulldogs were in scoring distance and turned the tide in the opposite direction. In he last' half he guarded well the desperate efforts of Tech to rally by the air route. The Bulldogs were fighting to avenge the defeat they suffered in 1923 from the team coached by Bo JIcMillin. They obtained all the breaks in the first quarter.

Twice tho Genthmen fumbled, Allday and Letteer losing the ball, and each time Tech recovered. The Bulldogs scored four first downs in that session but always the Gents buckled up tight when in danger. Once when the Bulldogs were close they lost the ball when Boss' try at field goal failed. Another time, when they gained the ball as Allday fumbled on being tackled, they lost it when Rebsamen reached up out of the line to intercept a heave on the 20-yard line. Haftel dropped back on punt formation but heaved a pass and it landed in tha arms of Boss on the 10-yard line.

The quarter ended then, but at the start of the second half Tech found the Gents holding well and they tried to score with another place kick. Willis did the booting but his distance was bad. Hamel tore off a beautiful punt that took Centenary out of danger. The ball rolled to the enemy's 15-yard line. The Gents made a strong comeback in the second quarter but they brought many sighs to their admirers when they lost the ball on a fumble on the Bulldogs' one-yard line.

Two first downs in a row, after Willis and Hamel had exchanged punts and the ball was in midfield, put the ball on Tech's one-yard line. It was the third down and the stands were yelling for touchdown when Letteer was knocked back and the hall went flying out of his arms. Millis punted to Letteer on the 45-yard line and the Gents' ball carrier was knocked out Hvhen tackled and lost the ball. Yel dell recoverea. iiosg line piunging, end a 15-yard pass from Boss to Pryor put the Gents with their backs to the wall but again they made good.

Tech lost the ball on downs. Beam and Kipke worked a nice pass of 15 yards just before the close of the quarter. The Tech Bulldogs had plenty of fight as the half opened and led by the giant Hogg, fullback and captain, they began to tear up the Gents' -front wall. Centenary was playing a six-man line with Rebsamen the back field and Teoh found it to their advantage. Tech scored three first downs in a row and were going down the field in fast order but they shifted from tha line plays to the air route and it brought them a setback.

Beam reached out of the air and took a pass from Willis on the 45-yard line. the Gents followers were In an uproar when Centenary took the ball. LITTLE JOE SAYS: ft uau Ar LeAST lm' rw CLAIMS HS MASnT ANV- I BIG THREE BREAK MAY RESULT IN NEW CONFERENCE New York, Nov. 11 (JP). Breakup of the historic "Big Three," brought by Princeton's deeision to snap all athletic ties with Harvard because of ill-feeling surrounding their gridiron relations, may lead to a shakeup all along the eastern football front and the formation of an eastern confer ence of major colleges.

Tile ground work for such realignment of college athletic interests already had been laid to such extent that many close observers expect Princeton to be invited without delay to join, a group that would embrace Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania, with Brown, Army, Navy and, possibly, Yale, also sought as members. The possibility of such an association, already said to be under discussion, was the outstanding development Thursday" as eastern eyes focused on the swift Tiger stroke that put an end overnight to the oldest of all football rivalries. Any prospect that the sudden breach between Princeton and Harvard might be closed, as suggested Thursday by such Crimson supporters as Howard Elliott, president of the Harvard board of overseers, apparently was- eliminated by athletic authorities at Cambridge, accepting Princeton's decision with regret. At the same time this emphasized a policy henceforth that will commit the Crimson to only one fixed football game a year, that to be the climax battle with Yale. Princeton's attitude now apparently is that the case with Harvard is "closed" and the Tiger will pursue its own course without' further dealings with the Crimson.

The action by the Princeton board of control last night, although hastened by developments In connection with the Tiger 12-0 victory of Harvard and the jibes of the Lampoon, Harvard undergraduate publication aotually was the result of a long series of events, it was made clear Thursday. One of the most important factors from the Tiger viewpoint was the attempt of Harvard not long ago to substitute Michigan on its 1927 schedule for Princeton, a move later forestalled by Yale's peacemaking efforts. DEMONS OF STATE NORMAL DEFEAT ARKANSAS TEAM Natchitoches, Nov. 11 (Special) The Demons of State Normal, headed by George Hastin, who starred all through the afternoon's program, defeated the Aggies from Magnolia, on the Normal gridiron before a large crowd by a count of 20 to 13. Both teams presented a good brand of football, but the visitors were outplayed from th start.

Karl Aiken playing tackle for the Demons, showed a fine style of defensive play along with Jones, and they broke the line a number of times and threw the visitors for losses. Not much yardage was gained over their side of the line. Cecil Miller shared almost equal honors with Eastin with his running and passing. Play was even in the first quarter but the Demons took the oval from mid-field in the second quarter and marched to the visitors' goal and a pass from Miller to Caldwell for 12 yards scored the first counter. Jones failed to add the extra point.

Normal added another touchdown in the second period when the Aggies began to resort to their aerial plays. A pass attempted by Ross was broken up by Caldwell and Jones caught the oval in the air and raced 62 yards for a counter and Redinjj kicked goal. Reding kicked off in the Aggies' end zone to start the last half. The ball was put in play on the 20-yard line, but on the second play Aimes fumbled and Jones recovered on the visitors' 21-yard line. A pass from Miller to Jones netted 12 yards.

Several line plays failed to gain but several yards. Then Miller passed to Sims for a touchdown and Reding kicked goal, bringing the score to 20 to 0 in favor of the local college. Just before the close of the third period, the Aggies crossed the locals' goal line for the first time. Jones, for Normal, punted out of bounds in mid-field. Cooksey, on a fake play, went through the line for 28 yards.

Two line plays failed to gain, but a pass from Ross to Cooksey netted 18 yards and on the next play Ross went the required distance for a counter, but failed to kick goal. in tne last quarter Normal worked the oval to the visitors' two-yard line just before the game ended on a fumble. Ross kicked to Hamilton, who fumbled on his own 28-yard lino and Stewart scooped up the ball and ran across tho locals' line. Cram kicked goal. Caldwell, McKellar and Knight showed well in the contest for the Demons in the line, while for the Aggies Stewart in the line and Ross and Moore in the backfield played a fine brand of football.

A total of 35 yards was Aggies' penalty, while the locals had a clean slate. Following is the line-up: Normal Arkansas Aggies Caldwell Stewart Left End Aiken McCollum Left Tackle McKellar Goza Left Guard Knight Carruthers Center Hanchey Walker Right Guard Mathews Umbaek Right Tackle Jones Jones Right End Sims Moore Quarterback Miller Aimes Left Halfback E.

GRID BATTLE 3 MM 1 Sports Get Spencer Harm From Chicago Chicago, Nov. 11 (P). Pateher Milton Steengraffe and Outfielder Spencer Harris today were released by the Chicago White Sox. Steengraffe, who was obtained from the Little Rock Southern association last season, goes to the Wichita Falls, Texas League club, and Harris, who has been with the Chicago club for some time, was turned over to Shreveport. and in the fall of 1912 he was purchased by President Comiskey for $12,000, a large price at that time.

He was so small when he joined the club that there was no uniform' to fit him and the smallest pair of pants had to be pinned up for him. He broke in behind Big Ed Walsh, the spitball king, and established himself in the hearts of President Comiskey, tho players and fans when he went through the game without giving signals to his battery jnate. No catcher ever handled Walsh's spitter in better style, and Schalk became the first string catcher on the club in 1913. As a member of the White Sox, Schalk has served under five managers Jimmy Callahan, Clarence Rowland, "Kid" Gleason, Johnny Evnrs and Eddie Collins. Only five other players have records on service in the league as long or longer than Schalk.

These are Ty Cobb, late of the Tigers; Eddie Collins, former manager of the White Sox; Tris Speaker, pilot of the Indians; Walter Johnson, speedball pitchers of the Senators, and Roger Peckinpangh, of the Yankees. "Kid" Gleason, while handling the club, once said that "the only way to keep Schalk out of a ball game was to take his uniform away from him." Schalk declared he was much pleased with his appointment and would do all in his power to bring the club, which finished fifth in the last two seasons, to the top of the list. Schalk expects to start the season with a team much stronger than a year ago. In addition to the veteran pitohers, he will have Bert Cole, left nander from San Francisco; Charlie Bamabee, southpaw from Shreveport. Homer Blankenship, a brother of Ted's: Grady Atkins, of Shreveport, and Elmer Jacobs, of the Mission club of the Pacific Const league.

NEWS TO COLLINS. Philadelphia. Nov, 11 (P). Appointment of Riv Schalk as manager of the Chicago White Sox, to succeed Eddie Collins, was a surprise to Collins, who declined to discuss it until he had received official notification from President Comiskey. Collins, who lives In Landsdown, a suburb of this city, had just returned from a hunting trip when tho announcement was read to him.

"I have not received word from Comiskey and have not talked to him since the close ef the baseball season," said Collins. "I have noMi-ing to say and will not talk until I am officially notified by the club." 1'hoto by Milburna. Pictures of some of the prominent players in the Centemry-L. P. I.

Beam failed on a line' play and be fore the attack could be resumed hei-tecr came prancing' on the mid and Blackshear went to the sidelines. Another play was run and then the players went into a huddle, with Let-teer doing the talking. They came out of their conference with a "zip." They lined up for duty and the ball was snapped. "Presto, change," and the ball disappeared from view. Then came the mad dash of Lettecr and the realization of all that he had the pigskin and in a field all by himself.

"How did he do" it?" and "Where was the ball?" were the questions that flew thick and fast. The Gents and their coaches were besieged to reveal the feat of magic, but they only smilea a smile of satisfaction. Huston made three first downs in that third quarter and Centenary did not register a down. Centenary scored one in the fourth. As a result of the many opportunities presented in the first quarter, Tech made eight first downs to the Gents' four.

Ruston completed two passes for 32 yards and tho Gents completed one for 15. Seven of Tech's heaves were incomplete, while three others were intercepted Centenary had but two incomplete passes and only one was intercepted on them. The Gents fumbled five times and each time the enemy recovered. Tech fumbled once and Centenary recovered. Hamel, doing the panting; for Centenary, bested Wills for Tech.

Both teams played for the breaks in the last quarter and frequently exchanged punts. Tech went into battle with a bit of weight advantage and used it to good advantage at times in driving at the line, with Hogg carrying the ball. The Gents' front wall stood up well and not a substitution was made there. The Gents' line did well in opening holes for their backfleld and many yards were gained through the line. Sweeping end runs were not resorted to very much and failed to make any big gains when they were tried.

Officials of L. P. I. and Centenary were well pleased with the contest and it is understood the Bulldogs-Gents game will again be an annual affair. Between the halves there was the presenting of colors and three bands, Centenary, L.

A real Armistice day crowd witnessed one of the hardest and best fought football contests seen on a local field in some time Thursday, when Centenary Gentlemen downed the Louisiana Polytechnic Institute's Bulldogs by a 7 to 0 score. Seven thousand persons crowded the east and west stand of the Gentlemen field to Ece Shreveport's own muzzle the Bulldogs. I The Ghost of Blue Hogg, L. P. famous backfield star, was "resurrected" Thursday afternoon when he was seen plowing through the Gentlemen's line time after time for gains.

Hogg's most brilliant playing was during the first half of the contest. The student bodies of Centenary and Ruston occupied the east side of the field and throughout the game entertained the spectators of the west side with their favorite yells. In the center of the Gentlemen student body a number of eo-eds, all dressed in white with the red skullcaps and with ribbons of the Centenary colors waving in the winds formed a large The Armistice feature grid game was a nip-and-tuck affair until the third quarter, when Letteer "slipped" one over the Bulldogs and with a fake play ran 55 yards for the first and only score of the game. The play seemed to knock anil the pep out of the "dogs," after which the ball stayed in Louisiana's territory until the final whistle. During the hnlves, when the bands of the Louisiana Oil Refining Corporation, Centenary and Louisiana Polytcch, led by Troop 38 of the Boy marched to the center of the field and played the Star-Spangled Banner.

AS CHAMPIONS PLAY 11 GREATEST IMPORTANCE -PROPER SHOES JACKETS fORCOUO WEATHER Knickers look! BETTER THAN CONG PANTS. Is it your experience that the way a golfer dresses has anything to do with Ma play? By ABE G. ESPLNOSA, One of America's Leading Professional.

The way a golfer dresses has a great deal to do with his play. Proper shoes are of the greatest importance. They must bo comfortably wide and with heavy enough soles to hold spikes. Some men play as well in long trousers as in knickers. Personally, I feel that knickers are more comfortable and they certainly look better on most men.

Even in the hottest weather I never- play in shirt sleeves, but wear a lightweight sweater and woolen knickers. In very cold weather a good leather Jacket that keeps out the wind is better than an extra sweater that might cramp the muscles. The last, but not least, a greater degree of satisfaction and self confidence comes with the knowledge that a player's clothes are of good cut and becoming color. (Curyrtglit, lSiii, Associated Editors, Inc.) It was after an exchange of punts I In the first few minutes of play that the Tornado, kicking from behind its own goal line, booted the ball to the 15-yard line. Tinnclle seized the pigskin and the Tornado apparently forgot what it was all about, for the Shreveport player ran the 15 yards for a touchdown.

Hanna kicked for the extra point. The Tornado then seemed to pick up force, however, and made several first downs. Once the visitors liad the ball on the Jackets' one-foot line, but were held, and then again they advanced the pigskin to the locals' 11-yard line and were again held for downs, Tinnclle punting from bis own goal line both times. The Jackets played a defensive game during the first half and tho Tornado kept possession of the ball the greater part of the first and seo ond periods. The visitors would brace and hold the Tornado for downs.

Once Tinnelle reached in tha air and intercepted a pass from Bau-cum on the Jackets own 23-yard line. Holland provided the thrill of tho game when he raced down the field 70 yards to the visitors' goal after Praylor had fumbled. The score was counted, however, as a Yellow Jacket was charged with clipping. The ball was brought to the line where tha clipping was said to have occurred and the Jackets penalized 20 yards from that spot. Coach Mair came running out on the field and Referee) Prather then penalized the Tornado 15 yards because the coach advanced on the field without permission.

The Jackets took on new life and with Hanna, Tinnelle and Hamilton carrying the ball for gains advanced to the Tornado's 25-yard line. Hanna then hurled the pigskin into the out-streched hands of Holland, who fell behind the goal line, making the score 13 to 0. Hanna kicked goal for the extra point. The Tornado completed a series of short passes in the fourth quarter and after advancing the ball to the Jackets' 15-yard line, Baucum passed eight yards to praylor, who ran seven yards for the six points. The Tornado's attempt for goal by kicking was blocked, but they were given a point because a Jacket player was off sides.

Again with the ball on tho 20-yard line, Hanna ran nine yards to the 11-yard line, B. Hamilton gained two yards nnd then Hanna on his second attempt carried tho ball five-yards for a touchdown. This ended the scoring for the Jackets. They had piled up 20 points. Jarrell blocked Hanna's attempt at kicking goal.

The Tornado had a few pouMs weight advantage' on tha Jackets. Th visitors had a smooth working team and won the admiration of the spectators by their brilliant playing. Baucum was the outstanding star and shared honors with Parker, Plum-mer and Praylor. Hanna displayed his most brilliant form in broken field running. Tinnelle was in the game fighting evcrj minute and showed in his best form, He displayed remarkable ability at breaking up passes as well as gaining ground.

PrvH Womllfrt T.i TtAnl.T. WUltn, playing in the backfield. also playtd a splendid game. Hamilton received bad cut over his left eve. bravely carried on.

Davis later went nto the game and also slaved cool football. The Jacket line was reauired to withstand the most severe punish ment of the season. A test of their resistance powers was shown when they held the visitors for downs oa their own one-foot line. Between halves a eroun of hiirh school misses staged an intricate and pretty drill while the high school band rendered music. A model Yellow Jacket was also broueht unon tha field.

Mallory, who was captain and stas fullback on the varsity leant sr ral years ago Ray Schalk Appointed Manager of White Sox; May Release Collins pHICAGO, Nov. 11 Schalk, veteran catcher of the American league, tonight was appointed manager of the Chicago White Sox by President Charles A. Comiskey.

Schalk succeeds Eddie Collins, who piloted the club for two seasons. Collins, who came to the White Sox from the Philadelphia Ath-Itics 11 years ago, where he was a member of the famous $1,000,000 infield, probably will be given his unconditional release. Waivers already have been asked on the former keystone king. "Schalk atways gave the game bis best efforts and has been one of the hardest workers of the club and I feel that he is entitled to the choice of leading the club which he has served so well," President Comiskey said in making, the appointment. Talk on the baseball rialto Thurs- day night was that Collins would probably return to the Athletics, where he started his major league career, and serve as pilot, while it was aiso said that he might become leader of the Boston Red Sox.

Fourteen years ago Schalk caught his first game in the major league for the club he was Thursday night designated to lead through the 1027 season. In his career behind the plate Schalk lias participated in more than l. 1000 games, surpassing the mark set by "Chief" Myers of the Giants. He established a mark of having in 100 or more games, for 12 years, 11 of which were successive. He also holds the record of having caught 151 games, which he set in 1920.

Born in Litchfield, 111., 82 years ago, he played his first professional baseball as a member of the Taylojy' ville, 111., club. In 1911 he joined-the Milwaukee American Association club Camp were noses apart and they fin. ished in that order. Just before this race Lady Splinters hung up a new record, in the fourth race, when she covered the quarter-mile in :26 1-5 to beat a fast field. Her time was one-fifth of a second faster than that made by Pastor some time ago.

Springfield Swoop was second and the consistent Rambling Raby was third. Warm Water, the newly arrived English dog, made his second start in the second race and was left in the box. He appeared unwilling to go into the hox nnd when tho door opened he finally fell out as the rest of the field was at the turn. He showed great speed in catching up with the last dog, but evidently thought he had done his part and continued to run with him. Mistress Hawkc won the race, with Billy Blitz second and Concrete third.

Price was 25.20. Sensational Finish Marks Running Lions' Cup Race; Marti ow Punch Is Victor MARTLOW PUNCH, the California distance runner, captured the Lions club cup race at the Jewclla Kennel club Thursday night after a contest that sent many tingling sensations up and down the spines of the spectators. It was the main event of the evening and it would have been harder to give the fans more of a run for their money. First one dog, then another, took the lead in the five-sixteenths of a mile run, and the finish found them all bunched together in close formation. Judge D.

B. Samuel and a committee from the Lions club were in the judges' stand at the finish of the cup race and they were shouting as loud as their friends in the grandstand across the track. Judge Samuel presented S. Keyes, owner of the winner, with a silver loving cup and a moment latr posed in flashlight "pop" for a picture. In the early running of the race Chief McKinney and Reckless Eagle were in the lead.

When they reached the last turn Boffle and Mysterious Stranger joined them and the four started around like a team. The early pace began to tell on Chief McKinney and Reckless Eagle and they dropped out. At the head of the stretch Martlow Punch got through a hole and came away to win by a scant half length. Lost Star made a desperate drive down the stretch. Mysterious Stranger.
