The first half was fairly even, the only points scored being a hafcty in the second quarter. In this period Anderson, Indian halfback, attempted a 30-yard drop-kick.

It was partially blocked and Faust, Silent quarterback, was caught with the ball back of his own goal line.

Dayton And Akron Game Pros Prepare For Buffalo Game Here Thanksgiving Have 4 Hammond Men In Lineup lly JACK ftlilltOXS Too many professional football games are being cancelled these days on account of rain.

It Is ridiculous that Dayton should cancel a game with Akron at Dayton, Kunday, on account of rain. The Akron team was on the Job in Dayton since Saturday night, but at noon Sunday received word tho game was off, so the team wended its weary way back Into Akron without getting action. The cancellation by rain comes In sharp contrast to college games played around the country on Saturday In torrents of rain. The professional football promoter very often carrios rain Insurance and on rainy days picks up a profit from the Insurance company and calls It a duy, without gambling on the game. Tbe Pros figured they needed the game at Dnyton, Sunday, to put (hem on edge for the clash here Thanksgiving day afternoon with the Buffalo club at General Tire's I'iold.

Among the plnyers of the two clubs there Is the same rivalry as with Akron-Cleveland games. The Pros sort of intimate they were I handed a raw one whentbey played 1 Buffalo earlier In the season, leaving the idea that a well earned victory was stolon right out from under their eyes. Before leaving Buffalo on tho Sunday night of that game, Akron players swore to a man to give Buffalo a beating when they got them on their home lot. As things line up now Akron will have four Hammond players In their lineup ThankHglvlng day. Hammond had a wonderful club this season, defeating the Chicago Cardinals, but suddenly found themselves being cancelled by other teams.

The Hammond outfit Is pleased to explain these cancellations as a compliment that the team was too tough and other teams were running out on them. Whatever wns the reason for the cancellations Hammond was without games early la the season and forced to disband. Hammond players with the Pros Thanksgiving day will be Barry, a tackle and Stahlmnn, linemen who played with the Pros this season, and Recbrlst, a tackle and Sol Butler a backfield man. The latter young man, colored, clnssed up as the third fastest mnn In the country in track events, Chnrloy Paddock and I.oren Murchlson being the only men whom Butler Is obliged to admit his superiors.

Wllllnns, Zents and any good Class A guards report to Manager E. Winn. Kisliiuaii (Wittenberg) Manly (Wooster) the line on defense and get lots of tackles, or recover fumbles by the opponent. THE Ohio conference has a small army of guards who merit consideration for accomplishing one or both of those tasks. One of them is an All-Ohio product of 1923 Harold Amrheln of Ohio Wesleyan.

Amrheln is captain of the Wesleyan toam this year. This is hla third season as a varsity player. He is five feet ten Inches tall and weighs 18B pounds. Injuries held him back a little this year, but never has his side of the center been a weak hole for the enemy while he was on the field. Manly of Wooster is a thoroughly dependable lineman.

He weighs 170 pounds. Besides guard he has appeared at tackle on several occasions, and is one of the strongest defensive players on his team. Clattko Is Wittenberg's leading contender, though Kishmi-n, the other Lutheran guard, is practically on a par with him. Glattke, a wrestler of some ability, is a 180 pounder and stands five feet ten.

An unconfirmed report was to the effect thnt Joe Engel, of the Washington Americans, was In Reno trying to persuade Johnson to give up his idea of buying a tall club on the coast and to return to Washington.

Class basketball team last season will again coach that outfit this season. Under the tutorage of Reyman the Y. M. S. won 12 out of 16 games last season.

This is his third year of The report of Akron U. scouts who watched Kenyon la action against Ilaldwin-Wallaee last Saturday Is expected to cause a riot of preparation by the local collegians In the next three days to get ready to stop the Kenyonltes here Thanksgiving Day. Despite a comparatively weak start, Kenyon has developed Into one of the strongest teams In the Ohio Conference. At the outset only an old army stylo' of football was used.

It came In for lis share of praise a few weeks ago when it, accounted for a 20-0 victory over Mt. Union, the same team which a week before had bested Akron 6-2. In the closing weeks of the campaign, however, Kenyon lias opened up with ni brilliant a passing attack as any team in tbo conference has been able to show this season. Tho I'eters to Hybuck combination accounted for many and long gains Daldwin-Wallace last week. I'eters, besides being a brilliant passer, Is also a drop-klclter purex-eellenee.

Tho coming game may develop Into a drop-kicking battle between Peters and Jenkins, tho latter being Akron's ace In tho holo when touch downs cannot be put over. I'rom all Indications, Jenkins will meet an opponent worthy of his steel Thursday, for I'eters scored from tho yurd lino agnlnst Baldwin-Wallace. Akron has proved weak In pass dnfonse all season. Even last Saturday against Toledo, aftor the second team bad held the visitors In check with very little danger, tho varsity went In for only a quarter and quickly fell before an aerial game, allowing Toledo to score a touchdown.

On a day that reminded one of the day at Cambridge a year ago a Yalo team that would not be denied defeated Harvard by a score of 19 to 6. The mombers of tho Harvard eleven who for last two weeks and particularly the last few days have been reported unable to play appeared to be In excellent physical condition, Borne of them playing most of the game.

The Yale team took the field confident of their ability to win under any conditions but not over-confident and prepared tor the hardest kind of a battle. Tho stories of injuries and poor condition were accepted as propaganda designed to make them over-confident, The Harvard hacks and ends started the game with kid gloves with fingers cut off and apparently were confident of their ability to linndlo the ball under kicks. Yale backs and ends played with nothing but on the other hund elected to play It safe under kicks. This may have been taking the long chance for the field except on tho surface was fairly hard and a bounding ball might travel far. But alls well that ends well and all of the Yale backs are to be commended for tho way they handled the ball.

From whistle to whistle Captain Lovejoy led and drove his team and was a tower of strength both offensively and defensively. His team has been through a most difficult season and Captain Lovejoy has established himself as one of the best pivot men that ever wore a hlti'i Jersey. Ducky Pond playing his last game and in water at that, gave an exhibition of running, passing, and line driving which has novor boon surpassed. He is what one can nicely call an honest ath-lote. You know what he will do.

Of the Harvard eleven Oherke stood out by his defensive play his breaking early In the gome stamps him as one of the best backs that ever wore the crimson.

How would they go If forced to play tackle on defense? The Beacon Journal has studied them from this angle and believes that Frye is the logical choice. He plays defensive end for his team and offensive halfback, punting and passing as well aa carrying the bull. That leaves his offensive ability unquestioned. At center It wan a choice between a super-fine passer and a stronger defensive player. Rice of North is probably the best passer In the city.

He Is good defensively, but hardly as good as Ferguson, the East high captain. What's worse, he spoiled his passing record with at least three doubtful heaves In the final series game againBt East last Friday. Warren and Wales are easily tho outstanding tackles. Nikles of South Ih fast and certain, but not so flashy. Suddeth Is a willing player, but too green in his position to merit first team consideration.

Ruhlin of Central Is picked ns gnard because he follows tho ball. In spite of the fact that he has not been all that might be desired on offense. Twice this season he has picked up fumbles and run for touchdowns with them, and that knack makes him valuable. Hopkins, the other guard, has been one of South's mainstays and has little opposition for his position. Bergey wins his second team berth on his splendid work In the city series alone.

He hag done everything that a good guard should do. For his running mate the Beacon Journal names Bee, the Central tackle, a worthy player. Aultman wins second team quarterback. He Is a comer and should be a tremendous help to South next year. Arnette is on the second team as a halfback boenuse he has the entire burden of the South attack this season.

Fitzgerald the West player, teams up with him. Fitzgerald is brilliant in recovering passes and a likely halfback in all other respects. Second team fullback goes to Welch of East, strong on offense and heady In defense. Leeper Tailors Win Over Tallmadge A. C.

Some coaches figure that tho little fellows can move faster, get through smaller holes, prove more shifty defense, and handle much larger opponents by outcharg-ing them on offense. Oherlln has such a guard In Ap-poll, who weights only 157 and Is five feet, seven and' a half inches tall. Appell Is rated as being the fastest guard Oberlln has had in years by no less an authority than C. W. Savage himself, director of athletics at Oberlln.

He Is harder to get out of his hole on defense than Lincoln's mired pig, but on defense he opens quick holes like a flash. Speegle, Appell's running mate at Oberlln, is nearly the same size, about five pounds heavier. He is much the same type of player. EARL Prugh, a prominent conference official, rates Havorka the Kenyon captain, as about the classiest thing ho has seen at a guard position this senson. Finn of Reserve looks Ilka a comer.

Besides his line ability he is a drop-kicker of accuracy, having scored many points after touchdown for Reserve by this method. He weighs 174. Brill, Case guard, Is one of the best fighters in the conference. Ho Is husky 202 pounds and fast on his feet for his size. Herbert of Ohio Frump of Ohio Wesleyan, Zurbrugg of Mt.

He Is so accustomed to be seen squirming along the ground like a snake that the grandstand seldom knows he Is on the field. He Is the boy who blocks, blocks, blocks. He spills the plays that come upstream so that someone else can make the tackle. He is down their under the pile, and by the time he can get up you are watching the man who carried the ball or are figuring how much was gained on the play. Tho thought may never have occured to you that It was the guard who was the keystone in stopping it.

IP Knute Rockne's shift plays continue to grow In popularity throughout the country, the guard will come into his own as an outstanding figure on the gridiron. Those rapid-fire skips In which the guard hops around In double quick counts to make an unbalanced line draw attention, lots It. You can't miss tho movement of the guard. But If the guard gains more notoriety in the shift play, his responsibility increases in double proportion. Always the guard has been a big cog i the line, but from now on it looks as though he will take precedence as the most important man on the forward wall, even over the end.

Guards have two ways of drawing attention while performing their duties on the field. Blocking will never turn the trick. The outstanding guard must either break-through sconio T. Fit. Pn.
