BETHLEHEM HIGH WINS UP-HILL BATTLE TO BEAT CUT PHILLIPSBURG HIGH, 7 TO 6 PERKIOMEN PREPWINS OVER LEHiGH FRESHMEN By EDWARD J. NEIL (Associated Press Sports Writer) YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK. Nov. 8. (AP) With one flash of sustained power that blasted the fighting Illlni apart and one individual feat of brilliance.

Army's unbeaten eleven bumbled batten but dogged Illinois 13 to 0 today in one of the prime lntersectlonal duels of the day. The Ulini. beaten on successive Saturdays by Northwestern, Michigan and Purdue back west on the more familiar grounds or the Big Ten Conference, fought to a complete standstill in the first hau, dominating the play all through the second quarter. But the fire wore out. a brilliant forward wall was crumbled.

mm tne (o.uuu wno saw the colorluj "Kaydets" in their sole metropolitan appearance of the season, rose with them in the second halt to yowl them on to victory. Aside from the brilliant playl of two fine lines, a youngster almost tiew to Army varsity football, stole the show. Ray Stecker, a big 170 pound halt back from Hazleton, teamed with Tom Kiiday, another big. hard-running fellow from San Antonio. Texas, to smash the Illinois line for the first touchdown in the third quarter.

In the final period, when tbe Illini passed in desperation. Stecker intercepted one of Charlev Hall's passes on the Illinois 45-yard line and scampered around the startled Westerners to score standing up. All through the second quarter and the final half, after replacing Ken Fields, who used to plav with Illinois, Stecker fought a brilliant kicking duel with Stan Bodman. Illinois tackle, and both averaged 40 yards ircm, the line of scrimmage. All through the first half Illinois threatened to score one of the outstanding upsets of the season and twice in the second quarter played almost entirely in Army territory, Pete Yanuskus, hard-hitting Illinois back and Gil Berry, ace of the invaders, punched or passed at Army's bitter defense within the Cadet 25-yard line.

Twice Bodman put the pressure on Army by kicking outside within the Cadtt 15-yard line. But always the warriors from West Point staved off the attack, and went back to swapping kicks. ine secona nan, wun ateciser, Kiioay until he was hurt In the third quarter, and "Appleknocker" Bowman, of Harri-man, packing the freight behind a line that crushed Illinois weary forwards, was entirely different. Army got going after a long kicking duel when Bowman carried one of Bod-man's kicks back eight yards to his own 48-yard line. Stecker.

ripping at the tackles, reached the Illinois 38-yard line In two plunges. The drive reached the 25-yard line before a clipping penalty of 25 yards forced Stecker to pass to Kinir to make up almost all of the distance. Kiiday spun through tackle. Stecker raced to the fifteen yard line on a lateral, drove to the eight in two plunges, and then turned right end for the score. Once Army led and Kiiday left the game, the Cadets kicked at every opportunity.

Illinois strove to get back in the game with forward passes in the final quarter and gave Stecker his chance to score again. Tbe longest tun of the day went to Rosy Carver. Army's starting quarterback, who ran a kick-back 47 yards but without scoring effect in the final quarter. Letzeller kicked the first point after touchdown but to the amazement of the Cadets Charles Broshous, specialist, went In for his customary one play alter tne secona touchdown and failed to make the point. He never had done that before.

Illinois failure to penetrate the Army defense in important moments showed in the statistics. The Big Ten eleven gained only 49 yards from scrimmage, completed three out of 13 forwards for 22 yards of gains, and only two first downs. Army ran up 153 yards from scrimmage, made two successful passes for 15 yards gain in eight tries and intercepted three others, Army rolled up eight first downs, five of them in the third quarter. The Illinois line was brilliant until it weakened in the third ouatrer. Huddles-tun, giant center, was particularly effective alons with Hills and Bodman.

Touchdown in Final Period Overcomes 6-0 Lead Held by Jersey Scholastics By a fourth period rally, Bethlehem High school yesterday overcame and surpassed the six-point lead acquired in the third period by Philiipsburg High in the new Philiipsburg Stadium, and won the game by the final score of 7-6. Philiipsburg put up a royal battle, but at the finish was unable to stop the punch of Bethlehem and the Steel City boys scampered away with the baron. Philiipsburg seriously threatened the Bethlehem goal in the first period when it drove the ball all the way to the visitors' two-yard line. However, Bethlehem defense stiffened and Philiipsburg could not muster the power to push the ball across and Bethlehem took it on downs. In the third period, Philiipsburg secured the ball on its own 45 yard line and started straight down the field.

The Jer-seymen made it a first down about one yard from the signal goal line and right there Bethlehem put up as pretty a defensive battle as could be found anywhere. The Phillipsbursers tried four times to crack the visiting lines and on the final attempt Bramick was able to gel just far enough to tally the six pointer. Philiipsburg tried to score the extra point by means of a line buck, but Bethlehem was alert, stopped the plunge and thereby won the game, as it later resulted. In the final period Philiipsburg punted and Bethlehem secured the ball on her own 45-yard line. Line plunges and end runs acrried it to the 13 yard line, where White took the pitrskin on a rever-e play and skirted end for the remaining distance and the touchdown which tied the score.

Bethlehem then tried a line plungei to score its extra point. Philiipsburg cracked under the assault and Frey. di minutive Quarterback. Bethlehem's principal ground-gainer, wertf. over for the winning point.

The game was exciting from start to finish and the two teams were about evenly matched.

A place kick was at tempted when state was unable to penetrate tbe Syracuse last ditch defense.

FOSTER NEW YORK. Nov. 8. (CPA) Tommy Thevenow, shortstop for the Phillies, has followed Fresco Thompson second baseman on the trail leading out of Philadelphia, and now an innelder has been shot through the Center that only a year ago was hailed as one arranged on a substantial basis.

Thompson was traded to Brooklyn, mostly for pitchers, and Thevenow now goes to Pittsburgh along with Claude Wil-loughby. pitcher, in a deal that brings young Dick Bartell to the Phils. Thevenow is the shortstop who set the world series on fire in lf26. when he was playing with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Thompson has been known a one of the best second basemen in We National League. Naturally there is curiosity as to what Bart Shotton, the Philadelphia manager, has in mind in regard to his Infield for 1931. Bartell can play either short or second base but should be sent to one of the two positions and kept there steadily. It will not do him any good to be one side of second base one day and on the uuicr siue ine next. Friberg has been tin.fnn utimw man for the Phils' infield and it may be that Shotton will go on with him.

He was Mallon. a young outfielder from the Texas League, but the Texas managers are not willing to concede that Mallon Is quite ready for big league baseball. The addition of Wllloughby to the pitching corps of Pittsburgh is a venture that may work out well for the Pirates. IT it does not, Pittsburgh cannot be worse off. In 1929 Wllloughby pitched some good games and it was perfectly natural to think that he would pitch better In 1930.

He was like the Philadelphia infield this season disappointing. He slipped backward instead of advancing. His natural qualifications are' good enough but he hasn't made the best of them yet. With Willoughby. Pittsburgh has Swe-tonic.

Brame, Kremer, Spencer. Bednar. Wood. Grant and French, with some others an array of pitchers who should be able to carry the team through the season with more effectiveness than in 1930. If the Pirates balance their infield as successful as they have outlined their outfield and their pitchers, they will be a hard lot to defeat.

With Thevenow bv the side of Pie Traynor. they are in some respects better than they were with Bartell playing shortstop. If Thevenow is himself, the left side of the Pittsburgh infield will make a stout defense.

8. (AP) Georgia's smooth-working football team held its place among the country's groat unbeaten machines this afternoon by gaining a well-earned victory over New York University by the narrow margin of 7 to 6. The white Jerseyed Southerners, well-drilled in Notre Dame's tricky shift plays by the young Harry Meiire. outplayed the violet-garbed New York eleven throughout most of the game but barely held off a great closing bid in which four desperate passes by the home team clicked for long gains. With the 42.C00 fans on their feet and most of them howling for a touchdown, N.

Y. U. swept down the field from its own 23-yard line with a great aerial attack which it had neglected to use until it was too late. With the ball on the Georgia 17-yard line and only about 20 seconds left to play, Jim Tanguay hurled a flat, pass in a final bid for victory but Jack Roberts, Georgia's great high-scoring lullback, intercepted the ball on his own two-yard line and a highly exciting game ended an instant later. Georgia came from behind like a team of champions to vin this game with a touchdown and extra point in the third period after N.

Y. U. had tallied a touchdown in the second. Both scores were made by the aerial route. Although N.

Y. TJ. relied chiefly upon its comparatively ineffective running game most ol the way, it was one of the Violet's rare passes, from Joe Lamark to Hugret, left end, that broke the ice with the first touchdown of the game. The pass covered the final 17 yards in a march from midfield and no one looked upon the fact that Bob McNamara placemnt Iick for the extra point went wide was particularly important at the time. But it proved to De the point that lost the game.

Coining back strongly in this session. Georgia missed a touchdown in heartbreaking fa.shion. Roberts and the sturdy iruarris. Leathers and MaddoK. had been kept on the bench until the second quarter but with them in action the peorgia team began to go places.

Largely through Downes passes to Roberts and the latter's fine ball-carvy-ing. Georgia reached NYU's 12-yard line just before the end of the period and threw a pass over the goal line to Captain Maffett, right end. Maffeit thrilled the big crowd with a spectacular leaping catch but the pass had been a bit too far and it was cauuht beyond the end zone. The result was no touchdown and NYU's ball on its 20 yard line. To come back after that required plenty of fortitude but Georgia had it as well as some of the best, running backs seen in New York this year.

As luck would have it. it was the same combination Downes to Moffett, that brought the touchdown that won the game. Taking advantages of a 13. yard penalty ngainst NYU for illegal use of hands, Georgia completed a forward pass for a 12-yard gain to place the ball on NYU ten yard line. The home team broke up a pass and stopped a plunse by Chandler but on third down Maffett made a runntn catch of Downes sharp shooting peg directly on the goal line and stepped over ior the touchdown.

Ducote, (Auburn). ON the SIDELINEsj If motion pictures are to become a standard part of football game equipment, the applications for places as officials In the big game may grow much smaller. No self respecting referee or umpire will be willing to havs his official acts reviewed In the cold gray reasoning of the morning after, through the medium of the camera. An official has to "call 'em as he sees em" and If the motion pictures show later that he was in error it will be unfortunate, but nothing can be done about it. In spite of the fact that a Yale unofficial spokesman has-expressed a wish that the controversy over the Army touchdown in the Yale-Army game be forgotten.

Army supporters xeeni quite willing to prolong the discussion. No Army officer with authority to speak for West Point has had anything to say about "Old Grads" are still in good voice after leaving the Academy, and soon after the Yale pictures a distinct touch of good old Eli Blue, Army pictures showed the sun setting over the goal posts in a tilliant display of Army colors. Not only was the Army touchdown" quite all right, the Army supporters said, but an Army end was r.ot offside on the try for foint which Yale missed, so instead of a le at 7 to 7, the Army should have won 1 to 6. But at New Haven Yalo men found no difficulty in seeing Kllday shoved over the line for the touchdown for the Army Muie, in plain violation of the rules. The poor officials will be the final sufferers and if motion pictures continue to clutter up football fields, it will be difficult to assemble a full quota of officials for a gatse of enough importance to photograph.

Jim Perry, a Southern conference official, writing of unusual events he has observed in football games in "The State." c. told of a Blav in which a tackle was charged with the duty of checking an end on a play in which the momentary halt was essential in the suc cess of the play. On this occasion the end was not checked, but nlunged into the enemy's back- field and had the man with the ball before he could take a step. "He held me." the tackle said to the referee. Before the official could reply, the tackle's prostrate mate in the backfield.

t-flrMfri: "You- should be glad. If he had not held you, you would have been out of the nnrlr And another game developed some repar tee from a guard on a stronger team as his line swept over the opposition. After the tackles arid guards had swamped the opposition for a dozen plays, a tackle said to his ODPonent: "We don't mind carrying you but you must pick up your feet and quit dragging cm. GEORGIA SCORES 7-6 Pennsburg Scholastics Admin ister 27-0 Trouncing to Yearlings In a loosely played game, replete with fumbles, Perklomen Prep administered 27-0 lacing to the Lehigh Prosh. football team, Saturday afternoon on the Taylor Stadium, Bethlehem.

The game was witnessed by less than three hundred foot-bail fans. The Psrklomen team were complete masters of the game from the opening whistle to the finish and at no time was the'ir goal line seriously threatened by the Brown and White team. The feature of an otherwise poor foottell clash was Weisel's fifty vard run in the opening minutes of the firrt quarter, for Perkiomen. which resulted into a touchdown and the first score of the game. Weisel virtually carried tiie pigskin through Lehigh's entire eleven and it was a pretty example of nice bell carrying.

from this juncture until the end of the first half and Perkiomen although making many first downs was unable to do env more scoring in this half. The half ended 7-0. in favor of Perkiomen. The first period of the second half was a Walk away for the Perkiomen grid-ders. using straight football tactics they ripped through the Brown and White line to score thirteen additional points.

The Lehigh yearlings were kept on the defensive throughout the greater part of this period. The last period was a whole lot like the third and with th exception of I ehigh's line stiffening a little bit more than in the third period, the Perkiomen backs had very little trouble In making first downs. The last score of the game was made by a beautiful pass, from the hands of Clifford, the quarterdeck of the Perkiomen team to the Waiting arms of Reed, an end. it was sood for thirty yards and put the Perkiomen team on Lehigh's five yard line, were on the next play. Sileski, a halfback, carried it over, he extra point was annexed.

"Any one could score touchdowns with a club like ours behind him. "They take the men and how they take 'em out! "But don't forget Pennsylvania played a hard game despite what the score might suggest, and It was only the great work of the Notre Dame players that made the big score possible." Tom Conley. captain and right end of the Notre Dame team and former football star of Catholic High school, expressed himself as being "quite tickled pink" with the victory and Brill's showing- "I thine as Marty aia. tnai renn dimco a good game but the spirit of the Notre Dame Dlavers accounted for the victory." Isaid Conley.

"Everyone of us wanted to win tnat game as we naven whiilcu iu win a game all season. Every man on tne sjfluad was at his best. "I'm delighted to have had the privilege of captaining such a team."
