He says that the whole baseball business would be greatly simplified and that the minor league would be greatly benefited. It is indicated that the big leaguers after their meetings next month will agree cn some such similar change and put it up to the minor leagues which have long been dissatisfied with the draft and other methods of doing business. Baker has been in consultation with Dreyfus at New York and it is likely he called here to confer with Mack. It is believed that the American League will strongly uphold Ban Johnson despite the attack made upon him in certain quarters, but undoubtedly there will be a change made in the way baseball affairs shall be conducted in the future. The draft will likely7 be modified and there may be restrictions placed upon the sale and purchase of piayers.

It has been pointed out that there is little to be gained in the selling of players, while much harm is often the result. If that point is adopted all clubs have equal chances of securing players through the draft. Barney Dreyfus has long been an advocate of protecting the weaker clubs and thus protecting the best interests of the game in which the club owners have large sums of money invested. Exterminator, Willis Sharp Kilmer's Kentucky Derby winner, took down the Latonia Cup race at two and a quarter miles yesterday. He was the favorite.

Besides winning the Blue Grass classic last spring, he won the Autumn handicap, for 3-year-olds, at Pimlico, and ran third in the Bowie, which was captured by George Smith, with Omar Khayyam second.

Long end runs, aided by excellent interference, featured the play, while the forward pass, as executed by the winners, again took prominence, one resulting in a 50-yard run for a touchdown by Lutz, while another with the same result was worked by Lyng.

The Bethlehem club has accepted an invitation from the California Football Association to play an intersectional series of five games on the Pacific coast. Secretary T. W. Cahill, of the American Football Association, will accompany the Eastern players and the series will be decided during the Christmas holidays or early in January.

Brown outclassed Dartmouth today in their annual game on Braves Field and won, 28 to 0. The elevens lacked the finish and organization of before-the-war teams, but Brown possessed sufficient power to carry the ball for steady gains in each period. Brown's heavy line tore large hoies in Dartmouth's defense and through these openings Gagnon and Sampson smashed their way for repeated gains. (Other Sporting News on Page 7) The boxing show, planned by Sam Harris and Henry Bletzer, will not be staged. The promoters say they cannot secure the boxers, who contend that the War Workers' Campaign is over.

Navy might now be less sullen and sad. Middies Battered Rivals. Conditions began to tell in this period and in the last the Middies, rained to the minute, were putting it over their rivals when the break came which reversed the order of things entirely and sent the better team off the From a football viewpoint it was a wonderful spectacle. '1 he tackling- was superb and the ends worked magnificently. Indeed on the wins it was r.bout a toss-up.

but the Navy line charged harder and lower. The Annapolis backs were better, too, and their line plunges staged from a forward pass bluff was very effective. Navy had the power, but did not handle it as well as she should Great Lakes-tricks brought little reward. The triple pass succeeded the first time it was used, tutting a decent gain, hut the next effort resulted in a loss. Ruth sides did fairly well with the aerial attack, but the onnosins; generals seemed to think the road to victory pointed through the tackles.

1 iiiii- For Goba. Blackiock was a tower of strength for Great Lakes and broke up many of Ingram's dashes. Seaffe, untd injured, was the power on Navy's line, although Perry distinguished himself by breaking through his opponent and blocking a kic-K, which started the Middies on their second march toward the goal line, the trip which ended so disastrously. Rlacklock opened the contest by kicking off to Butler, who ran about five vards with the ball and juggl it. Bach-man recovered for Great Lukes.

Driscoll twice failed to gain on end runs from the old Minnesota shift formation, i hen a forward pass was tried by Paddy and that was smeared, but Navy was penalized for interference and Great Lakes took up its stand on Navy's 20-. ard line. Eielson and Erickson failed to gain, and Driscoll, stand. ng upon the Middies' 35-yard line, tried for a field goal. He had a straight shot, but the ball went wide.

Driscoll Halted In Tracks. From the 20-yard line Navy started its attack, but could do nothing, so Perry punted and Caldwell nailed Driscoll in his tracks at midfield. The savage tackling of the Middies prevented Great Lakes from gaining, and Driscoll punted to Roberts on his 35-yard mark. Orr gained three yards through the line, and Ingram tore off 11 more, but there came a fumble, and Reichle recovered. Great Lakes was offside on the next play, and again Driscoll punted, and once more Roberts was downed before he could move.

However, Navy got under way then, Roberts and Butler hitting the line for 15 yards. Ingram did the same thing for five rnor, but then the Westerners held and Perry booted nicely, the ball rolling behing the enemy goal line, which Lned up the teams on Great Lakes' 20-yard mark. That was the first time that the battle had shifted well into the Chicagoans' territory. Punters Keep Busy. Once again the gobs were stopped and Driscoll forced to punt.

Roberts muffed and Knight recovered on Navy's 32-yard line. After another exchange of punts the quarter ended. Navy opened the second period by punting and Driscoll immediately returned, Roberts being downed on his 25-yard line. Then Great Lakes was penal-zed 15 yards for holding. Ingram got five yards between left end and tackle and a double pass, Ingram to Ewen, netted five more yards and the first down.

Three more line plunges netted nine yards, but Navy could not gain he distance on the fourth try and the ball went over. Then came a punt by Driscoll and when the Middies started off again a high pass to Ingram brought about a loss, which made Perry kick again. Navy Is Penalized. Once more Navy got going, making 7 yards on two efforts and then was penalized 15 yards for holding, so Perry punted. Great Lakes lost ground on her tries and Driscoll stood on the 45-yard line and attempted a field goal, which failed.

From her 20-yard mark Navy attempted a march down field. Ingram tore off four yards through left tackle, but that was all. Perry punted again. A 7-yard gain on a forward pass gave the visitors a start but then tne Annapolis ends buried the runners backward and Driscoll attempted a field goal from the 41-yard chalk. Kick Follows Kick.

Perry returned the kick and Driscoll called for a double pass, which gained 2 yards. A forward netted five more and Driscoll's punt then was blocked, but a bluejacket recovered it on the 30-yard mark. Two forward passes netted ten yards and first down when the half ended. Navy kicked off to Great Lakes and Blackiock caught the ball. Driscoll punted from the 35-yard line, the ball rolling outside on Navy's 10-yard mark.

Why it was allowed to roll so far no one could understand. Middies Land Touchdown. Efforts to penetrate the Western line! were of no avail and Perry punted. Driscoll was hurt when tackled on his 45-yard mark. But a double pass netted 20 yards.

Next Ewen intercepted a forward pass. Navy also tried the double pass, but lost, and Perry kicked once more. Driscoll tried a triple pass for a small gain and kicked to Roberts, on Navy's 35-yard line. Ingram then started the ball toward the goal with a seven-yara gam. lsuuer uvc uion-.

Great Lakes was penalized five and Ingram gained three more. Orr gathered in rive and Ingram 3 and a forward pass, Ingram to Roberts, over left end planted the pigskin behind the line. The kick-out was a fizzle. The same old punting, only more of it. featured the early part of the fourth session.

With about seven minutes to play Perry broke through and blocked Driscoll's kick, the ball getting away and rolling to the 10-yard line, where Ewen fell upon it. Driscoll tackled and caused Ewen and Perry to collide. All three were knocked out, Paddy being taken off the field. Oh, What An Ending! Just when Navy got going again she was penalized and then once more she started and then came the fumble on the goal line and the long run by Eielson, the appearance of the mysterious tackier, the near-riot and finally it was put up to Blackiock to win the game by kicking the goal. He booted the ball accurately and won.

Navy tried desperately in the last three minutes of play, but could not turn the tide with forward pass or trick. Great Lakes. Posi Jon. Reichle L. Caldwell KcklimJ L.

It seemed for a few minutes that there would be a riot. Sanders was mauled and pushed around, but he came out of the melee, when, order was stored by the awarding of the touchdown, apparently none the worse for his most extraordinary experience. After the contest Navy men. especially the old ones, deeply regretted Saunders' action. Some said he should have known better because he is not a plebe and moreover had played in all of the previous games this season.

Younger fellows looked upon the substitute guard as a man who had taken a chance a chance of gaining something, but no one has discovered what and just failed to get away with it. Had The Lawrence Spirit. The truth of the matter is that the best traditions of the navy call upon a man never to give up the ship, and Saunders couldn't resist the temptation to do something. lie could not stand idly by or merely surrender, as did the German Ueet.

Saunders just had to go out and fight. He displayed poor sportsmanship, but he did a human tiling lost his head when he saw a victory practically won in a grueling battle, periiaps the most grueling that has taken place on Farragut Field for many year, being turned into a defeat and a defeat undeserved.

The trick may have been put over at the psychological moment who knows Some day someone may explain that costly fumble. Gobs Will Get Ills Trip. Before the en ounter the Great Lakes band played "There's a Long, Long Trail A winding," and the musicians had something in mind They and the other visiting tars knew a victory over Naval Academy meant a trip to California to play the champion team of the Pacific Coast on New Year's Day.

during the Tournament of Roses They did not tell anyone else of the significance of that song, but after the battle had been won they played and sang and marched off the field to the same sweet tones. It was a hard, brilliant game hard because the gridders put every ounce of energy they could muster into their play and brilliant because the crowd was large, enthusiastic and well versed in the finer points of the sport. The President did not occupy a seat in the stand, nor were the Secretaries of War and Navy present, but there were men high in the service of Unr le Sam and aviators who flew from Washington to see the combat.

Navy deserved to win if ever a team did, for she gaim almost twice as many first downs as Great. Lakes.

HOPED HE WILL ACCEPT -JOB His Appointment AVoold Help To Pat Game Back Into Favor And Would Sheer Ban Johnson Of SI in Old Autocratic Power, New York, Nov. 23. Former President William II. Taft has been offered the position of sole member of the National Commission, the highest executive position in major league baseball. The announcement was made at 'the Lambs Club tonight by President Henry N.

Hempstead, of the Giants, and Harry Frazee, of the world's champion Boston Red Sox. It is understood that these two men represented the sentiment of the two leagues, which are striving "for a shake-up in the national game which will place the sport on an entirely tew basis. Mr. Taft has always been an ardent baseball fan. His brother.

Charles P. Taft, was fit one time part owner of. the Chicago and Philadelphia (National League) clubs. While Mr. Taft Governor-Genera! of the Philippines baseball was introduced among the natives at his suggestion and proved; a success.

Taft Considering It is understood that the position was offered Mr. Taft a short time ago and he is now considering the offer. If he accepts, it will mean the abolition of the present commission, which is made up of three members. The commission now consists of the presidents of both the National and American Leagues and a chairman appointed by these two. 'August Herrmann, of Cincinnati, has leen chairman of the commission since its organization.

Hempstead and Mr. Frazee have held several conferences recently in regard to a readjustment of the national game. Both realized that after the war, with the game spreading in popularity. in England. France and Italy, that these Allies would look to the game in this country for its policy.

With the gaine becoming a world's sport, the owners of the New York and Boston clubs believe that the game should have at its head a man of international prominence. The two club owners met Mr. Taft this morning and had a long interview with him. Mr. Hempstead said tonight that Mr.

Taft received the suggestion in a way which gave both him and Mr. Frazee the idea that he would act upon it favorably. This open hostility of the American League resulted in the resignation of John K. Tener, former Governor -of Pennsylvania, as president of the National League, and up to the present time no successor has been appointed. Secretary John A.

Ileydler has been acting president, but has not served a member of tne except for a short time at an urgent session during the world's series in Boston, when the players went on strike for more money. Johnson and Herrmann, the chairnuin of the commission, have gradually come into disfavor among the other club owners and the best interests- in both leagues are anxious for a change. I Perry Case Started The troubles and upsets in baseball during the last few years resulted in the disruption of the national commission in its old form. Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia Athletics, backed Johnson, the president of the American League, last season openly opposed the commission and refused to abide by -its cisiou, going to the civil courts" in Cleveland to prevent the commission from carrying out its decision in awarding Pitcher Scott Perry to the Boston club. Johnson Gets In Bad.

The actions and statements of John-sou last summer during the time when baseball was in bad, because of the indifference of the players toward enlistments and the draft, brought the American League president into disfavor among baseball fans. Only a few davs ago a meeting was held in Philadelphia with Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsurgh; Clark Griffith, of Washington, and Connie Mack, of Philadelphia, attending during which the removal of Johnson and Herrman as members of the commission was discussed. As both the National and American Leagues will hold their annual meetings on December 10 the National League here and the American League in Chicago it is expected that there will le important developments which will surely result in the overthrow of the present commission. Club Owners Hopeful. Mr.

Hempstead said tonight that it was pointed out to Mr. Taft that the new position would take up but little of his time, and when he learned this the former President gave them an answer which makes the clubowners very hopeful that he will accept. Acceptance by Mr. Taft would mean the passing of the present National Commission, which is composed of the two league presidents and a third member, and, it is said, would shear Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, of the powers which have earned for him the title of "baseball 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 arc said to have approved the offer and would give the originators of the idea sufficient votes to carry the proposal.

Cowan SonB Undertakers and Ernb aimers Hollins and Poppleton Sts DAVIES HEE0 OF VICTOEY It tins Through Crackers For Two Long Rons Easterday Also Shows Up Splendidly. Pittsburgh, Nov. 23. The University of Pittsburgh football team defeated the eleven from Georgia Tech at Forbes FWd today by a score of 32 to 0 in a game featured by open work and very little line smashing. The running of Davies.

the Panther left halfback, was sensational. Twice he took the brll from a Tech player's punt and ran 50 and 55 yards, respectively, for touchdowns. He was the best "ground gainer seen at Forbes Field this year. The work of Easterday was only very little behind that of Davies. while Mc Laren, 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 made at a dangerous time for the visitors. Toward the end of the game the best work of Tech was displayed in its ability to intercept forward passes, and twice they were rescued from a dangerous situation by the ability of Guyon and Flowers to take the forward passes meant for a Pitt player. Pitt Crosses Line. Pitt scored a touchdown about half way through the first period, when a forward pass from Davies to Easterday sent the latter 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 its second touchdown, when Guyon punted to Davies on the 50-yard line and the latter ran the rest of the distance, shakinff off the Tech tacklers and registering another score.

He kicked goal and made the score 14 to 0. Tech kicked off for the second half, and Gougler took the punt and ran back 30 yards before Staton downed him. However, gains were made around the ends by Easterday and Davies, until the ball was at the 20-yard line, when a double-forward pass from McLaren to Davies to Easterday let the latter go over the goal line for the third touchdown. Davies missed goal and the score was 20 to 0. At this stage came the line smashing that has made Pitt famous, but which had not been used for some reason up to this time.

It was probably because the Tech team was a heavy one and the guards were expert at stopping line buck ing. McLaren and Gougler were used with success until the ball was worked to Tech's six-yard line, and McLaren was pushed over for the fourth touchdown. Gougler missed the attempt at goal and the score was 20 to 0 when the third period ended. Southerners Improve, Tech played better football in the last period than at any time during the game. Guyon and Flowers were very clever at intercepting forward passes, which, in a measure, made up for their fumbling in the early part of the contest.

Several times Pitt was forced to kick, when it was unable to make first down on four tries, but this availed the Southern team nothing, as Pitt invariably took the ball away from it again. Davies ran 55 yards lor a touchdown in this period, making five in ail, and when he missed the kick at goal the score became 32 to 0, which it remained to the finish. Line-up and summary: Pitt (32).

23. In commenting upon the visit here of Barney Dreyfus and Clarke Griffith, Connie Mack yesterday said that a number of baseball matters were discussed. He said that Dreyfus and Griffith called him on the phone and he went to the Bellevue-Stratford to meet them. Mack said that th National Commission was not mentioned in particular nor was anything said regarding the ousting of Garry Herrmann from the chairmanship or the "canning'' of Ban Johnson. Mack said it was just a general baseball talk.

The future of the game was discussed and suggestions were made as to its betterment. According to Mack there was nothing to be given out after the conference, but it is known that Barney Dreyfus has been very busy, of late in visiting the baseball cities and that Clarke Griffith has a new plan for baseball control. Many of the National League club owners have come out strong for a one-man commission, and it has been proposed that that one man shall also look after the minor leagues, which would do away with the unwieldy and national association. Baker, of the Phillies, is one who favors such a change. HOPKINS TEAM CRUSHED "Western Maryland Mows Down Baltiinoreans, 28 To 0.

UP-STATEES EAVE JOY MARCH Iveller Is Bis: Noise Of Game For Methodists, With Greason And Pullen Assisting; By C. Edward Sparrow. Western Maryland played rings around Johns Hopkins yesterday at Homewood Field and took back to Westminster a victory. It was the worst defeat the Black and Blue ever has received at the hands of the up-Staters on the gridiron in the history of their relation Hopkins never was in the game nom the time Greason kicked off for the Methodists, and it was a bad break on the part of Bill Woods that started the nio a .1 Uo fumbled the ball, which was recovered by a Western Maryland man on Hop kins' 30-yard line. The visitors gained a few yards and Keller then went back for an attempted dron kick.

Tt vcaa at ihis noint he stood the varsity, on its head. He made a bluff to start around his right end and all the Black and Blue fellows were after him like a hound after a rabbit. Iveller Pulls Surprise. But quick as a flash Keller wheeled and darted around his left wing. He carried the ball right beneath Hopkins' goal.

Before the varsity had recovered. Pullen planted the pigskin on the, one-yard line. On the next plunge all was over Keller booted an easy goal. Keller a little later electrified the fair ly large crowd by standing on Hopkins' 35-yard line and booting the ball between the uprights and over the bar for three more points. Just before the end of the opening session Tome fumbled and Clayton picked up the leather and raced 40 yards to Hopkins' one-yard line.

On the first play in the second seision Keller failed to gain, but on the s-. cond at tempt Pullen once more crossed the goal line. Keller missed goal. The touchdown was made early in the third period. Keller received the kick and returned the ball 10 yards.

He then ran around left end for 25, followed this up with six, and Pullen added four and again five, placing the ball in the varsity's 34-yard line. Keller ripped off 13 yards, Pullen two and Greason one. Keller was down on the one-foot mark on his next effort and then took the ball over. He failed to kick goal. In the last quarter Greason was robbed of a chance to make a touchdown when a Methodist was caught holding.

Western Maryland put the ball in. play on its t5 yard line and lost a forward pass. Hopkins then punted to Keller. He returned the ball 10 yards, to Hopkins' 30-yard line, dodging several tacklers. On a series oi plunges by Keller, Greason and Pullen the ball was put on the four-yard line, whence Keller went over for the fourth touchdown.

He again missed goal. Shortly afrer this tim ws called. Entirely Too Much 'teller. Keller, although he wTas ably assisted by his team mates, shone like a star among stars. He was here, there and everywhere.

Nothing was too difficult for him to attempt, and whatever he at tempted he generally got away with. Not only was he elusive, but he was a hard man to stop when tackled. The Hopkins players didn't know how to tackle him. If they grabbed at his body he wriggled away, and if they dove for his knees he stiff-armed them. With this little quarter out of the game Hopkins probably would have done better.

While in some respects it was a one-man team that Coach Sam Turner brought to Baltimore, the other fellows on the eleven did their part well and that was the reason Keller excelled. Without their assistance, especially that of Lan-grall, who played havoc with the Black and Blue line, Keller probably would, have been stopped before getting started. The game was spirited, but that added color to the engagement and made the teams play all the harder. Bill Wood lost his head upon one occasion and Hopkins suffered, for the Black and Blue was penalized half the distance to its goal line, wdien the ball was just 10 yards away from it. He was put out of thr battle.

M. Play Like Champions. Western Maryland played like a champion, and fans wondered how Maryland State beat her. With the same elevens meeting yesterday the Methodists would have won. The Up-Staters played a far better game against a better team than the College Parkers again at St.

John's. Western Maryland was the best team of the four who showed at Home-wood yesterday. Hopkins didn't play her game and Curley Byrd and his boys probably know it. On the other hand Eddie Harlan and his crowd should feel h-ppy over the exhibition that State put up. They should not lose any sleep between now and Thanksgiving Day.

It looked as if the Black and Blue players forgot all the teamwork that Harlan has taught them. Their attack was not centered. Not even any clever individual work was shown. The interference was not there. Hopkins Should Awaken, The varsity will have to settle down and get together during the next three days or Maryland State will carry off another championship.

Hopkins has the ability, but it must be concentrated. Perhaps the awakening yesterday will be helpful. The line-up and summary: Western MO. 1'osition. tiopKins (ur.

Hopes Tafft Will Accept. St. Louis. Nov. 23.

Phil Ball pres ident 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. "Frazee is only a club owner like my self and hence has no plenipotentiary powers to act as spokesman for the Amer ican League in such matters, Liall said. James C. Jones, acting president of the St.

Louis Nationals, said "This is the first I heard of it, but think it's a very wise move and I sincerely hope Mr. Taft will accept the He Catches Punt And Runs 85 Yards For Touchdown Just As The Contest Ends. By C. Edward Sparrow. The little St.

John's team made Maryland State, the champion, play every inch of the way to earn a 19-to-14 victory yesterday at Homewood Field. The Cadets played a snappy game during the first half and went to their dressing quarters with the scor, 7 to 6, in their favor. But they had shot their bolt during that session and were unable to stop the onslaughts of the College Parkers during the remainder of the battle. It wts a pretty contest and not nearly so one-sided as the one that followed it. which was between Western Maryland and John Hoj kins.

A thrilling run by Semlo'r. the little St. quarterback, made the score seven points (loser in the last minute of play, or the count would have been 19 to 7, which just about is how the elevens eon ma r-- d. Hnn That run. was a fitting climax to the game and 4iad the score been close it would have turned the scales in favor of the Annapolitans.

Knode, the State quarter, drove a long punt to Semier, the of both teams, on the latter's 15-yard line. With the hall tucked snugly in his right arm Semier started on his S5-yard run that will live long in the memory of those who witnessed the feat. One would-be tackier after another went after the little q. but Semier stiff-armed or dodged every one of them. Tin re were several of these opponents, but at midfield none stood between Semier and the coveted goal.

The more he ran the faster he leaped over the turf. As he got across the goal line the whistle sounded, stopping hostilities until next year. Amid deafening applause Semier pointed the ball and added another point to his team's score iy making a perfect kick. St. John's Gets The Jump.

St. John's got the jump on State near the end of the opening period and it looked as if the break might upset the boys from College Park, but Curley B.vrd's crowd didn't lose heart and played as th never played before. Knode punted to Semier, who returned the ball to midfield. only to lose it on a fumble. State tried a couple ol plays and taih to gain.

Then some one got the signals mixed and Sullivan fumbled the ball. Recher, the roving center, was on it like a flash, picked it up and raced 35 yards for a touchdowu. Semier kicked the goal. The second period started with the ball in State's possession on its own 22-yard line. After an exchange of punts.

State carried the ball to St. John's one yard line. The Farmers were off side and set hack five yards. Gurevich made four yards and Bosley took the ball over. Knode punted out, but the ball went wide of the players, and a chance for goal was lost.

Bosley Goes Across. The ball see-sawed back and forth during the major part of the first session of the second half, but Knode finally was thrown on St. John's 14-yard line. Gurevich added three yards and came again with the same distance. Bosley went over for the second time.

Knode kicked the goal. State started out like a house afire in the final period. Gurevich went over for a touchdown after a series of plays, but State was off side. Bosley carried the ball near to the line, but Gurevich I'umbWl as he got over the mark. St.

John's had the ball for a while and then Tow-er had a punt blocked, wjiich Molster recovered on the Cadets' 15-yard line. Bosley carried the ball four times in succession, and Gurevich twice, and when they were through the leather rested on the 2-foot mark. Bosley again carri 1 the pigskin over for the third and time. Then Comes Seiuler's Run. Just when it looked as if St.

John's would be unable to score again, Semier caught Knode's punt and made his spectacular run for 85 yards. The work of Semier was sensational from the first whistle and he was the star of both elevens. His footwork was splendid and his straight-arm defense was the superlative in efficiency. St. Joims center, Keener, played a slash ing oelensne game and time and again broke through the hue and made tackles It was his wide-awake work that made St.

John first score possible. Bosley was a consistent ground gainer and Gurevich was a hard man to stop. In fact, all the boys did all they could and tnen a little bit more, lhe line-up and summary Maryland State. Position. St.

An Army-Navy gridiron contest will be staged Thanksgiving afternoon at Oriole Park, when the local Navy eleven will be sent against the squad from Edgewood Arsenal.

As the game will be played for a benefit a good attendance is expected. Several thousand doughboys from Edgewood will come to Baltimore and will execute drills before the game. They will have wrorthy rivals in the jackies, who are stationed at Section 1, of the Fifth Naval district. The captains and coaches of both squads are prepping their men for the battle and a lively contest should ensue. Edgewood has made quite a name for itself this season on the gridiron, and the local tars have had many opportunities to display their wares before the local fans.

Coach Williams, the former Cornell player, will put his men through a rigid series of training this week and he opines as how the Edge-wood boys will have their work cut out for them. On the other hand, word comes from the military camp that the entire squad is in the pink of condition, and is already primed for the setto. For the Thanksgiving Day game, Eddie Collins, the star halfback and punter of the sailors' eleven, who has been laid up for several weeks, will be back and 'will add considerable strength to the lineup WOLVERINES EAT UP AGGIES They Have Easy Time With The Michigan Farmers. Ann Arbor, Nov. 23.

The University of Michigan outplayed Michigan Aggies here today, defeating the East Lansinz eleven, 21 to chien 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. Wolverines' third touchdown came in the third period, 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. Holahird Hates Another One. The Camp Holahird team continued its winning streak by defeating the newly organized Edgewood Arsenal club by the score of 4 goals to 1. The Ilolabird squad deserved its victory, for it showed good form, and its pass work was excellent. For the losers Captain O'Neill and Wright played well.
