1SPECTACULAR PLAY I BEATS NAVY TEAM Great Lakes Eleven Wins, 7-6, by-Running Length of Field After Fumble. BY DENIIAH THOMPSON. ANNAPOLIS, November Although outplayed by a considerable margin, the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team today defeated the Naval Academy eleven, 7 to 6, due to spectacular run down the entire length of the field by Halfback Eilson after he had recovered a fumble by who had pjunged across the line for what would have "been the Middies' second touchdown. This memorable sprint, which evened the score and paved the way for the winning point when Driscoll kicked i occasioned one of the oddest in-1 ever witnessed on a-gridiron, It never actually was completed. Emerging from the struggling mass of warriors with the ball which Ingram dropped.

Eilson started his romp 4own the field with three of his mares his flying footsteps. When Keichle toppled Left End ilwen of the Navy before half the distance had been covered he removed The last hn- agency that could have halted Eilson's progress. As he tore on down the gridiron the training station rooters started a niglrty cheer when from the sidelines the uray-sweatered figure a A.id ly er Saunders, bounded up from the bench, dashed out onto the tieM and a flying tackle brought tho Great player down 30 yards from the goal line. Stunned by surprise by such a sensational breach of the gridwron edde the crowd gasped and then began to surge onio the iieid while the athletes were expressing their feelings in a manner not sanctioned by the rules. It appeared tin.e the general excitement.

would develop into a near riot, but order soon was restored. The officials, of uourse. ruled a legitimate touchdown had been made and. when Driscoll booted the ball netween the aai addi- tional point, victory the station was assured, ns but three lulnrutes of I play remained. Middies Have the Edge.

In the ground gained the Middies cleverly had an edge cn the visitors, making eleven first downs ayainst five and keeping the ball in their oppo- rents' territory a majority of the time. The famed "Paddy" Driscoll got away on one occasion for a twisting, dodging run of 30 yurds, which led to nothing, and his efforts on other occasions were nulled by the vigilance ajid speed of the Middies' second line of defense. In kicking department the former istar of Northwestern University fairly scintillated, however, his punts averaging more than 50 yards and greatly excelling the work of Butler, whtj did most of the booting for the Navy. On three occasions he attempted goals from the field, one at a distance of 57 yards, falling just a little short of passing over the bar between the posts. It was near the end of the third quarter before a double pass between Coombs and Ingram, followed by a long diagonal forward pass to Roberts.

netted the first score of the game. In the final quarter the Middies had plugged their way up the field to within the shadow of the Great Lakes' goal line when the fatal fumble occurred that changed the complexion of the contest. Ingram's slip came after a splendid exhibition of line plunging that accounted in large measure for Navy's consistent Sains. The game was one of the most bitterly fought ih the of foot ball ar the academy, and was witnessed by a crowd which filled every avail able Feat and stood ten deep around the en'I-e field.

Loft, third. Slippery Elm had an outside post position and the others stole away from him right at the break, but he rapidly worked his way up on the outside and readily came away in the stretch. Dorcas closed a big gap, but weakened at the end. Deckmate ran as well as he knows how: A peculiar feature of the speculation upon this event was the fact that the betting was so well distributed that the winner, the favorite, paid the handsome price of $10.90.

W. W. H.TAFT CONSIDERING OFFER TO HEAD ORGANIZED BALL Former President, However, Withholds Acceptance or Refusal of Position as Leader of Diamond Sport. NEW YORK, November President William Howard Taft has been offered the position of sole member of the national commission of the National and American leagues, according to announcement here tonight by H. N.

Hempstead, president of the New York Nationals, and Harry Frazee, prsident of the Boston Americans. Mr. Taft is said to be considering the offer. Acceptance by Mr. Taft would mean the passing of the present national commission, is composed of the two league presidents and a third member, and, it is said, would shear B.

B. Johnson, president of the American League, of the powers which have earned for him the title of "base ball dictator." The offices of the new "one-man commission" would be in New York. The offer to Mr. Taft is said to have been made without the knowledge of western presidents of the two leagues. All of the eastern club presidents are said to have approved the offer, and this would give the originators of the idea sufficient votes to carry the proposal.

The national commission at present has only two members, former Gov. John K. Tener of Pennsylvania having relinquished his seat on the cmmission when he recently resigned the presidency of the National League. Mr. Johnson and August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati Nationals, are the present members.

John A. Heydler, acting president of the National League, sat as a member of the commission in arranging for the 1918 world series, but he sat under special authorization from the American League. NEW YORK. November conference between Messrs. Taft, Hempstead and Frazee was held in this city today, and Mr.

Taft took the offer under consideration without comment. His reply is not expected for several days. The proposition was considered in a general way, with the details to be worked out if Mr. Taft accepts, as the two club presidents appear to be hopeful he will. No salary, was mentioned.

Neither Frazee nor Hempstead would state what other American or MARINE TEAMS VICTORS. Two Elevens Representing Sea Soldiers Win Grid Games Indian Head Marines from the 10th Regiment yesterday took the measure of the Seaman Gunners at American League Park in the Service League by a score of 54 to 0. There was not much to the contest after the first few minutes, the Marines proving so much superior. The Marine Barracks eleven also won its contest, defeating 314th Aero Squadron at Boiling Field by 18 to GALLAUDET MEETS DEFEAT. Virginia Military Institute Trims Kendall Green Boys, 19 to 7.

LEXINGTON, November Virginia Military Institute foot ball team won the last game at home today by defeating Gallaudet, 19 to 7. Straight foot ball predominated throughout the contest. The cadets scored first after seven minutes of play, while the remaining points came in the third and fourth quarters. Gallaudet's only touchdown was due to a fumble, which Matthews recovered, running seventy yards for a touchdown. The ball remained in Gallaudet's territory practically the entire first, third and last quarters.

VICTORY FOR WISCONSIN. Defeats Ohio State in Loosely Played Game, 14 to 3. COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 23 a game marked by fumbles and ragged playing Wisconsin defeated Ohio State here today by a score of 14 to 3. Both of Wisconsin's touchdowns came after 80-yard runs by Smith, the first one in the first period from a punt formation and the second in the final period, when he intercepted an Ohio State forward pass on his own 20yard line. Sundt kicked both goals.

In the early minutes of the game Ohio State went through Wisconsin's line with ease, but after Smith made his first touchdown the green Ohio team went to pieces and Wisconsin stiffened. Early in the first period at a field goal, but was more successful in the second period, dropping a beautiful kick over the goal from the 25-yard line. In the third period Ohio State pushed the ball to Wisconsin's 1-yard line, but lacked the punch to put it over. EASY WIN FOR MICHIGAN. ANN ARBOR, November The University of Michigan outplayed the Michigan Aggies here this afternoon, defeating the East Lansing eleven, 21 to 6, chiefly by their ability to break through the visitors' defense.

The Aggies' only score came in the. final few minutes of play, when two fast forward passes close to the Wolverine goal enabled Archer to get over. Michigan was held scoreless in the first period, but in the second began a powerful drive, before which the visitors' defense broke up. Two touchdowns came in quick succession. Cohn and Goetz carrying the ball over.

The Wolverines' third touchdown came in the third when Knode, taking the short pass from Steketee, shot around left end for a 25-yard sprint. All three of Michigan's goals from touchdown were kicked by Steketee. the ball going squarely over each time. Notre Dame, 26; Purdue, LAFAYETTE, November In the last game of the season here this afternoon Purdue went down to defeat before Notre Dame by a score of 26 to 6. The Boiler Makers scored first, but the Irish came back strong in the second period and registered twice.

They also scored once in each of the third and fourth periods, being able to advance almost at will. Purdue's score In the first period was on a pass which put the ball ojy the 3-yard line and Murphy went over. Mohn made the sensational play of the came when he received a punt and ran 75 yards for a touchdown. Notre Dame's principal gains were on forward posses. Gipp scored twice, Muhn once and Kirk once.

National League club owners had been canvassed In the matter, but intimated that the proposition had met with hearty support among: a majority of the eastern magnates who had been approached. After today's conference they made public a statement in which they said that "the man to fill this position at the head of America's national game should be a big American figure who had the esteem and respect of the American public," asserting that "base ball at the present time bids fair to be as popular in England, France, Italy and Belgium as the civil war made it In America." Mr. Taft, having always been a great lover of base ball, would be the ideal American at the head of Atrferica's national said the statement. which added: "Our further idea, after discussing the matter with the different club owners, was that with one man as the supreme head of base ball it would place the presidents of the National and American leagues in the position of appealing before him in the capacity of counsel representing their respective organizations." Chairman Herrmann in Bark. CINCINNATI, November do not know anything about it; there has been no meeting and I have nothing further to say," Chairman Herrmann of the national base ball commission said tonight when questioned as to the announcement of H.

N. Hempstead of the New York Nationals and Harry Frazee of the Boston Americans that former President William H. Taft had been offered the position as sole member of the national commission. Frazee Has No Power, Says Ball. ST.

LOUIS, November Ball, president of the St. Louis Americans, declared tonight that in his opinion it was impossible to proffer the national commissionship of the two leagues to former President Taft without first holding a meeting of members of the leagues. "Mi-. Frazee is only a club ownSr, like myself, and hence has no such plenipotentiary powers to act as spokesman for the American League in such matters," Mr. Ball said.

James C. Jones, acting president of the St. Louis Nationals, said: "This is the first I've heard of it, but I think it's a very wise move, and I sincerely hope Mr. Taft will accept the position." VICTORY FOR ILLINOIS Wins Easy Contest From Chicago, 29 to 0, Strengthening Claim to Championship. CHICAGO.

November University of Illinois eleven, playing in its best style and fulfilling the expectations of its adherents, today defeated the University of Chicago 29 to 0 on Stags Field. The result, taken in connection with the defeat of Northwestern at Iowa City, strengthened the Illinois' claim to whatever championship honors are likely to be evolved from the 1918 season. The local team showed little improvement over its previous appearances. Holding by green substitutes in the line cost Chicago a number of 15yard penalties. Illinois opened a bag of tricks consisting of cross buc)cs, shifts, forward passes and end nins from kick and pass formation that kept Stagg's men dizzy.

Illinois completed eight forward pases in the rfecond half out of fifteen attempts. The crowd was one of the smallest that ever witnessed a contest between the two schools. CLEVELAND RESERVES WIN. Defeat Camp Grant Team, 14 to 6, in Hard Battle. CLEVELAND, Ohio, November The Cleveland Naval Reserve foot ball team defeated Camp Grant 14 to 6 today.

After a long pause and a 20yard run in the first quarter Ducote scored a touchdown for Cleveland. Stinchcomb kicked a goal. Egan scored Camp Grant's only tally in the first quarter after a long pass from Delmore. Lutes failed to kick a goal. Neither side scored in the second or third periods, but at the start of the fourth Stinchcomb, local quarterback, grabbed a punt and, after a 65-yard run, scored a touchdown and then kicked a goal.

Marines From Philadelphia Excel Blue and Gray in Every Department. BY W. hT HOTTEL. There was harmony to the efforts of the Philadelphia League Island Navy Yard Marines on Georgetown Field yesterday afternoon. Harmony prevailed in the team play of the Marines' foot ball team, which defeated the Blue and Gray, 34 to 7.

And harmony also was very evident in the melodies rendered by the Marines' band. And last, but not least? I for was the byword of the Marines' bugle and drum corps. Five touchdowns were gathered by the visitors' eleven to one for the Hilltopers. the League Islanders scoring two in the second period, one in the third and a pair late in the fourth, while Georgetown carried the ball across early in the final quarter. Simmer kicked four goal3 for the Marines and J.

Flaherty the one for Georgetown. G. IT. Pails in Kicking. Georgetown was not outplayed as badly as the score indicates, and It was the Blue and Gray's flat failure in the kicking game that enabled the Marines to win by such a topheavy score.

Poor punts by most costly ones netting only 28 the way for a trio of the Marines' touchdowns, and a blocked kick gave them another. However, Georgetown was butplayed in every department of the game by a team which showed it had much greater preparation than the Blue and Gray, which has had little time to devote to practice on account of military drills. A punting duel resulted in the otfening period, with the Marines making two first downs on rushing and Georgetown one. An exchange of kicks at the outset of the second period gave the Marines the ball on Georgetown's- 40-yard line. After the rushing game had failed Simmer shot a forward pass 25 yards to Zebsley, who ran the remaining distance to a touchdown.

Simmer kicked the goal. Shortly after the Marines got the ball on Georgetown's 40-yard mark and marched to the 1-yard line, where the Blue and Gray held. Hampston's punt, however, traveled only 18 yards, and the Marines soon carried the ball over, Yebsley making the touchdown. Simmer missed the goal. It was late in the third period when the Marines again scored, after a steady march of 40 yards.

Simmer taking the ball over and kicking the goal. Blue and Gray Tallies. Georgetown tallied early in the fourth period. Hampston ran a Marine kick back to their 35-yard mark, and then the Blue and Gray reeled off three successive first downs to take the ball over. Hampston made the score and J.

Flaherty kicked goal. A forward pass of 25 yards, by Simmer and a dash of 13 more bv Higglns. who received it, gave thi Marines their fourth touchdown. Simmer kicked the goal. Soon after receiving the next kickoff Georgetown essayed to kick.

Proctor blocked the ball and Wulf recovered it and ran 20 yards to a touchdown. Simmer kicked the goal. Simmer showed himself to-be one of the best halfbacks ever seen here. He kicked consistently well, forward passed in great style and seldom failed when called on to rush the ball. He was the main cog in a clever backfield, which was supported by a well, balanced, well trained line.

Georgetown played its characteristic fighting game, but lack of a good punter and well rounded-out team play, the latter attributable to the little time available for practice, made her no match for the Marines.

The final match in the season series of golf matches between teams representing the Bannockburn Golf Club and Washington Golf and Country Club will be held next Sunday over the course of the Bannockburn Golf Club.

Both teams have won one contest in the present series and both are anxious to win the coming match. In the first series held this year Bannockburn was victorious, winning two out of three from the players of the Virginia Club in the final match, over the Washington Golf and Country Club course. The teams next Sunday will be the strongest that each put in the field and the match should be very close, with the edge favoring Bannockburn on account of the familiarity of its players with their home course, and particularly the very fast putting greens, where the knowledge how to play an approach shot means a great deal. The probable line-up of th? two teams will be as follows: T. Cunningham, Basil M.

Manly, Tom Moore, Kenneth Curtis, Bruce Tfcylor, J. R. De Farges, Capt. Horton, Capt. Nagle, E.

J. Doyle, John T. Harris, William Mackie and E. C. Williamson.

Troett ci the Washington Go" and" Caur.try Club is planning to spend the winter at Richmond, with a trip to Pinehurst, probably, to play in the February tournament. Percy R. Pyne, 2d, one of the best players in the metropolitan district, who has been a member of the Chevy Chase Club since last played a line round at the club last Thursday. He was around in 77. Jack Burgess, Jimmie Spencer and Tom Moore were over the course of the Chevy Chase Club last Friday morning.

Burgess was low with a card of 76 and Spencer was 78. Moore was two strokes higher than the pro of the Town and Country Club. Moore, by the way, is said by the professionals who have seen him play during; the past three months to be one of the most improved golfers of the city. Last spring he had no good feature to his game and very seldom scored below SS. Following a summer spent at the White Mountains, where he played nearly every day, he has developed a game that looks very much as if he will have to be reckoned with in tournaments in the near future: that is, when tournaments begin again.

His tee shots are always straight down the middle, and his Iron shots, while not long, are accurate, and his putting is of the best. All in he now lyuj a. well rounded game. Cliff.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, November the first time in five years the foot ball teams of Wabash College and Depauw University met on Ingalls Field here this afternoon.

Depauw defeated Wabash by a score of 28 to 6. The visitors scored touchdowns in the first three periods and Wabash tallied in the final Quarter.

NEW YORK, November a double-header foot ball game here today for the benefit of the united war work campaign the Princeton aviators defeated the Harvard radios, 29 to 0, and Granite State receiving ship won from Newport Naval Training Station, 7 to 6. The Princeton fliers were entirely too fast and shifty for the Harvard wireless men, playing excellent foot ball throughout the entire game. The other contest was loosely fought, with honors as even as the score indicates. PUT TOO SPEEDY FOR GEORGIA TECH Davies and Easterday Play Sensationally for Panthers; Best Ground Gainers. PITTSBURGH, November The University 'of Pittsburgh foot ball team defeated the team from Georgia Tech at Forbes Field today by a score of 32 to 0, in a game featured by open work and very little line mashing.

The running of -Davies, the Panther left halfback, was sensational. Twice he took the ball from a Tech player's punt and ran 50 and 55 yards, respectively, for two touchdowns. He was the best ground-gainer seen at Forbes Field this year. The work of Easterday was only little behind that of Davies. while McLaren, as usual, was successful in getting through the center, although Coach Warner worked that play much less than usual.

Pitt indulged in forward passing considerably, and very frequently gains were i made at a dangerous time for the visitors. Toward the end of the game the best work of Tech was displayed in ability to Intercept forward passes, and twice it was rescued from a dangerous situation by the ability of Guyon and Flowers to take the forward passes meant for a Pitt player. Pitt scored a touchdown about half way through the first period, when a forward pass from Davies to Easterday sent the last named over the line, and Davies kicked goal. No further scoring was done in the first quarter, but very soon after the resumption of play the Blue and Gold scored their second touchdown, when Guyon punted to Davies on the 50yard line and the latter ran the rest of the distance, shaking off the Tech tacklers and registering another score. He kicked goal and made the score 14 to 0.

Pitt worked the ball toward Tech's goal and was very close when the whistle ended the first half. My Gillette Shaves Fine "I always strop new blades before using them on a (Just Turn the Crank.)
