Th' dark an' meloncholic days has come Th' most saddest of th' year We can't say that football is comin' Fer it is already here. TT is hard t' believe th report that mos of th' Red Sox players work durin' th' winter months; it is most likely a nature fake perpetrated by some boob of a scribe what thinks th' fans don't know nothin' about th' genus homo, or whatever that fancy word is fer species. CINCINNATI fans are anxiously awaitin' th' official figgers fer the season, now that th' big series is over; they are afraid that by some hook or crook that th' St. Louis team will be declared the winner of last place. You Never Can Tell.

VTJn may be s'prised t' learn that they held a City Series in St. Looey, fer th' champeenship of th city or somethin', an' that each ball player on th' winnin' Browns team got $60 out of it as his share. By golly, I was 'ston- ished at th' news. Baseball fans out there is foohsher than 1 thought they was. ourway figgerin' a series o' games 'tween two St.

Looey teams would be as excitin' as pickin' flowers offen a century plant. rLABBY Says A Fighter Has No Punch Unless It Lands" headline. Clabby said a mouthful there, an' no doubt our own Chaney will agree with him. A NOTHER headline says- "Jess Willard Has Earned Much Money In Short Time." "Woddyuhmean EARNED? No Comment Necessary. "yOM JONES, manager-in-chief of Willard's managerial forces, says that Jess 'has made $300,000 since he won th' title.

A scribe points out that it was Jones what lifted up his right hand an' declared that Jess didn't weigh over 245 pounds th' day before his fight with Moran an' when he got on th' scales it was 259. Any more farther comment would be sufficient. JEPORTS has it that President Ebbets, originator of th' famous price list, is on th' "verge of a nervous breakdown." We figgered that somethin' like that would happen t' him when we read of th' empty seats at his park. JT musta been a terrible ordeal fer him t'. set an' figger what he woulda got fer them seats if anybody had been settin' in 'em.

'S too bad that his sensitive an', confidin' nature shoulda had sech a rude awakenin'. through the line or skirt the ends at will, and the only two forward passes they attempted netted long gains. For McGugin's eleven, Curry and Cody held the limelight, while Ilodes. Ilayden and Brittain divided the honors for the Kentuckians. Curry ran a punt back 65 yards for a touchdown.

I ain't in no persition t' know, but it looks t' me like as if Robbie had oughta send Pat a bill instead o' giving him credit.

FORWARD PASS BRINGS SCORE Infuriated My Blow, Qoakwi PliT In Fast But Erratic Style In letter Stage. Philadelphia, Oct. 14. The Swarthmore College football team, coached by Bill Iloper the former Princeton star, defeated the University of Pennsylvania eleven on Franklin Field today by the score of 6 to 0.

Swarthmore's victory over Pennsylvania was unexpected as her conquest, over Lafayette College a week ago and her performance indicates that the Garnet team may furnish further surprises as the season progresses. Pennsylvania's defeat was primarily due to a fumble of a punt by Quarterback Bert Bell in the second period. Bell let a Swarthmore player get the ball on Pennsylvania 30-yard line and after working it five yards toward Pennsylvania's goal. Halfback Michael tossed a pretty forward pass to Fullback Bush and the latter dashed over the line for a touchdown before a Penn sylvania player could lay hands on him. The kick-out was wide and the attempt to score a goal from touchdown was a failure.

The Swarthmore score stunned th Pennsylvania. In their desperation to win they played a fast but erratic game. Nearly all those who carried the ball fumbled, and more than half the attempts at forward passing resulted in wild overthrows. When a ball did go directly at a Pennsylvania player a Swarthmore man was usually there to spoil the play. Once a Pennsylvanian fumbled a forward pass 25 yards from Swarthmore's goal with a clear field ahead.

Twice Pennsylvania had the ball on Swarthmore's 10-yard line, only to lose it once by a fumble and then on downs. On three other occasions w.th the pigskin within easy scoring distance it was fumbled by Pennsylvania backs. Straight, hard, old-fashioned football was indulged in by both teams, except in the last period, when Pennsylvania, pressed for time and desperate to win, resorted to long unsuccessful forward passes.

BREAKS WITH THE HOME TEAM Meadows And Miller, The Quarter-hacks, Handle Ball 'Poorly Each Eleven Scores 3 Touchdowns Annapolis. Oct. 14. The powerful football machine of the University of Pittsburgh, virtually the same combination that administered a crushing defeat to the Annapolis Midshipmen last season, rolling up more than 40 points, had its hands full in the annual contest on Farragut Field this afternoon, the Smoky City eleven winning by a point. lhe score was 20 to 19.

Each registered three touchdowns, but the visitors were successful at two of their attempts at goals, against Navy's one. It was after the Navy's third touchdown that Holtman, who had booted one of the goals, fell down on an easy effort. The breaks -favored the Midshipmen, but at that they put up a mighty good game all the way, both offensively and defensively. Reference to the "breaks" is made by reason of the fact that the Pittsburghers were guilty bf several miserable fumbles, two of which placed the sailor lads in advantageous positions to score two touchdowns. Pittsburgh's attack, as a w-hole, showed all of the power of that which brought about their record score against the sailor boys last season, but the de- tensive work general, and particularly in the handling of the pigskin after kicks, was not with the same degree of smoothness.

The chief offenders in this respect were Meadows and Miller, who alternated in the quarterback position. Glenn Warner was undecided until just before the game whether to start Meadows or Miller. He finally chose Meadows. Lie finally was yanked and Miller replaced him. The iatter made a bad fumble cf one of VonHeimberg's long, twisting spirals in the final period that placed the Middies within comfortable range and finally terminated in their third touchdown.

Otherwise the Pittsburghers played a strong game all the wTay. Their fast backfield. which comprises Hastings, De Hart and McLaren, brought the many spectators to their feet on many occasions by their lightning-like dashes, although there were only a few long runs. Probably the most pleasing result from a Navy viewpoint was the success attained in the exploitation of the forward pass. They reeled off several for substantial gains, one of which, executed between Ilanafee and Welcher.

counted for a touchdown. The play followed immediately after the Middies had recovered a fumble by Miller in the final period. And in passing, it might be added, that the Middies have so far this season shown greater profi ciency in the open game tactics as compared to former Navy elevens. The spectacular features were fur nished by the brilliant end running of Hastings and Dehart, of Pittsburgh, together with a 50-yard run by 'Mc- Liaren, trom a take kick formation. On the Navy side, a 48-yard sprint by Welcher after receiving one of Hast-ing's punts was a hair-raising incident.

Welcher made the dash early in the third quarter. He finally was tackled inside of Pittsburgh's five-yard line. Three line plunges and Ingram shot through the visitors' left side for a touchdown. The Middies drew first blood early in the opening period when Meadows fumbled a punt on his own five-yard line. Jackson recovered for Navy and darted across the goal line.

The try for goal failed. This sudden turn apparently stirred Pitt to greater effort, and through the end runs of Hastings and Dehart, with an occasional line plunge, it carried the ball for GO yards to a touchdown. Hastings made the score. He also kicked goal and Pitt was one point to the good. Pittsburgh scored again in the second period.

McLaren made the touchdown on a line plorge and Hastings again kicked goal. The opening of the second half found both teams fighting doggedly. Within the first three minutes Welcher made his brilliant dash that paved the way for Navy's second score. The visitors, however, rose to the occasion and again started a march down the field, and at the five-yard mark a double pass, Hastings to Dehart, scored a touchdown. Hastings failed at goal this time.

Pitt continued to play strong in the last quarter, but could not hit a scoring stride. The Middies, however, came through with a touchdown as the result of the forward pass from Ilanafee to Welcher that caught the Pitt boys napping. The Navy rooters literally held their breath as Holtman steadied himself for the try at goal and there was keen dismay when his toe proved untrue. Lme-uj Pittsburgh, Position. Navy.

CASEY STARS AT FULLBACK: I Ilull-Likc Hushes Of Horween Tear Southerners To Pieces Folgrer Exeels For Visitors. Cambridge, Oct. 14. A football eleven from the University of North Caroliqa, coached by a Harvard graduate arid equipped with Harvard plays, was no match for the Crimson team today, and lost, 21 to 0.

It was an exhibition of Harvard's secondary strength. as six reserves were called upon to fill the places of regulars injured in the game that Harvard lost to Tufts last week. Casey, at fullback, gained against North Carolina after the fashion which made Mahan famous, skirting the ends, slipping through the line or dodging and twisting for considerable advances, nis open attack was ably supplemented by the bull-like rushes of Horween, whose powerful shoulders tore hole after hole in the Southern university line. That this was not a weak line was shown in the second period when it held the best players that Harvard called into the game for downs on the one-yard line, after Harvard had four times attacked from the five-yard mark. At two other stages of the game the Crimson was held for downs.

Folger was the principal factor in the North Carolina scheme of attack and offense and acquitted himself well. He made several first downs in the course of the game, tackled surely and kicked well. Twice in the first period Harvard crossed the Carolina goal. A 25-yard run by narte, an end; Horween 's rushes, a forward pass in which Harte advanced the ball 10 yards and Casey and Horween collaborating in short plunges resulted in the latter getting the first touchdown. The kick which followed Horween 's goal from touchdown was run back 22 yards by Casey, and in the next play he raced 40 yards through a broken field, making possible Burnham's touchdown on a 12-yard rush through the line.

Carolina's check of Harvard almost at the to which the ball had been taken on another 40-yard run by Casey, and its frustration of a forward pass thrust over the line made the second period scoreless. Starting from midfield in the third period, Horween rushed eight out of ten times, carrying the ball to the three-yard line with the assistance of a 12-yard forward pass, Wilcox receiving. A pen alty of lo yards set the Crimson back. but Murray propelled another forward pass to C. A.

CooJidge, who made the last touchdown. Robinson kicked two of the goals from touchdown and Hor-Aveen one. The last period was one of erratic play, the Harvard substitutes being without power to gain, but strong enough defensively to stop North Carolina's attempt to advance.

West Point, N. Oct. 14. The Army won from Holy Cross today, 17 to 0. The cadets outplayed their opponents from the start, but some loose handling of the ball at critical times and penalties for holding occasionally nullified fine work in advancing the ball.

HOPKINS IS VICTORIOUS Uses Old-Style Football And Hammers Way Through The Washington College Defenses. BRANHAM STAR OF CONTEST It uti ViinU ThrotiKli ltltal Kiev-en I'orT lulonn Vlnllorx ltvly Too Much On Open Attack.

CHANDLllU Tlie Johns Hopkins eleven removed front its path yesterday the second obstacle between it rind the Maryland football cliiimpioiiship by defeating Washineton rollege, 'Ml to 0, -at The km me was not in one-sided us the score indicate, but the and warriors were masters of the situation at all times. It was an interesting contest. All kinds of football were trotted out, bril-ant runs, long kicks, plenty of forward Misses and lots of hair-raising open- lield tackles. It was the sort of game that keeps the spectators on edge, and the enthusiasm bore witness to the lluet that everyone present enjoyed it Vnichtily. The p'-n plays of the visitors added to the spectacular aspect of the battle, but too great a reliance on this style of play probably injured Washington's chances, despite the fact that her only fcore came from long run after a forward pass.

The visitors tried forward passes from first downs, losing the ball by interception, and several times when it looked as if they had the rush-line on the run they witched their attack from the old game to the aerial route and lost the advantage that was beginning to accrue to them. IlopkliiM mm Old Style. Hopkins stuck to straight football with one exception, a forward pass which just missed completion. It is probable that the Black and Iilue might have made a larger score had it tried the open game a little more, as the Washington defense was' drawn up close behind the scrimmage line throughout the game. Conch Jlrenniek noticed the op- Iiort unity but told his quarterbacks to teep on with the old stuff, as this was what his team needed.

The lirst score came early in the opening period, resulting from long runs by Uhler ami Iirnnham. Washington laid one chance to break up the Hopkins attack when a Crimson and IMack player recovered a fumble, but the Chester-town team was unable to gain and after the punt there was no stopping Hopkins. Uhlef, llrnnbam and 5 rooks plowed their way through the resistance of the Washington eleven and went straight down the field for touchdown. Edgar Tippett, who was playing his first game of the year for Hopkins, took the ball ncross. through centre, after Washington's banked defense had stopped two line plunges.

Tippett missed the goal. Hopkins scored twice in the second quarter and Washington once. Uhler made the first tally after the Hopkins uledge-hammer punch had taken the ball half the length of the field before Uhler Klashed through for the score. Branham kicked the goal. Then the visitors took off the lid and began to use all tho stuff they had i nthe bag.

Brown Started the ball moving with a 25-yard run from kick formation and followed It with an avalanche of aerial plays. The lirst missed. The second was completed for a short gain, the next one failed, nnd Brown went back to try for a 45-yard drop kick. Monkhouse mis-cued, however, and the ball went sailing over the Washington fullback's head. He fell on it, but it went to Hopkins on downs.

Ilrown llaUem Pretty Uun. A 15-yard penalty dashed the Black and Blue chances and Tippett punted. Brown pulled off another 25-yard run and the side-line crowd realized that the usual Hopkins let-down was taking place. But the worst was yet to come. Krcddie Wallace went back and shot the ball to Brown, who made a pretty 40-yard run through a broken field for a touchdown, eluding several taeklers by quick shifts and use of the stiff arm.

He missed the goal. At this point almost anything might have happened. Much of the visitors confidence had returned. They were only one touchdown to the bad nnd for a few minutes had been playing Hopkins off her feet. But Branham smashed the slate.

He received the kick-off on his own C-yard line and pulled off one of th most spectacular plays ever seen on Homewood field, dashing straight through the Chestertown eleven for a I'5-yard run to a touchdown. Several times he seemed to be pocketed, but Rfuirmcd or butted his way through. 3 lis teeth were set, his eyes were on that distant goal line, and Washington just couldn't stop him. This bolt of lightning took the punch out of the ICastern Shore eleven. From that time on it showed no sustained attack.

There were flashes of pep, but they wero only momentary. Branham had "busted up the game." The half ended with the score 30 to 0 for Hopkins and it took the local eleven just five minutes to score again in the third quarter. The tally was of the fluke variety, but really resulted from bad football on the part of the visitors. Lacking confidence in their regulation offense, they resorted to open football when deep in their own territory. This is permissible near the end of the game, but it seemed to most of the spectators that it was a trifle early for Washington to try it.

Brown shot a forward pass at an end and Brooks intercepted it. Wnahlnipton'a Death Knell. The "plunk" with which it struck the chest of the Hopkins captain was heard all over the field. It was Washington's death knell and it had hardly died away before Brooks was across the line with the ball. There was no ne in his path and his momentum carried hira out of reach of the Washins- ton team before they realized what had happened.

Branham kicked goal. One of the above mentioned flashes of offense broke out in the Washington team right after this. The Chestertown defense stiffened and Hopkins was forced to punt. The visitors then made a first down on three line plunges and Brennick began to pace up and down the side lines. But instead of (ontimiMip tlies nlavs.

which, tempo rarily at least, were sweeping the liop-j kins forwards off their feet, Washing ton tried a forward pass on the lirst down and Darley intercepted it. This change of tactics was a serious mistake, and it bung a large bow of crape on the last real opportunity for Washington. A series of quarterback runs by Darley, one of them advancing the ball 30 yards, brought the pigskin to the 15-yard line, where the third quarter ended. Ilrnnhnm Sonic Star. Fourteen seconds after the beginning of the final period Branham made the last score of the game.

It was intended to be a tackle play, but when Jack ar rived at the scheduled spot he found several hostile persons there before him so he just slid off, revolving as he went in search of openings new. He found one. It was outside the end and, careening over like a badly loaded ship but with a good stiff arm, jabbing all his opponents as they tried to stop him, Branham crossed the line just at the corner of the field. He kicked the goal. It looked as if the same versatile youth had made another score a few minutes later, on the same kind of a run, but the officials decided he had stepped outside and called him back.

Hopkins then made her one open play of the game. It was a forward pass from a criss-cross and came near being comnleted. Itill Fulton was loose be- hind the goal line, but the pass was low i a. id although he managed to reach it could not hold the ball. Washington (tried another pass which Brooks again I intercepted just before time was called.

i The spectacular features ot tlie game brought out the good points and weaknesses of each team into dear relief. The Washington attack consisted of fairly good open plays, a well-executed run from kick formation and an excellent punter. On the defensive the Chester-town ends and left tackle played well and tho backficld braced the line in pretty nice fashion. The defects were bad passing by the centre, failure of the quarterback to follow up an attack which was proving successful and a too great reliance on the forward pass. Stars Of Washington.

Captain Frampton played a fine all-round game, but failed to go in on the defensive as quickly as he has in years gone by. Bowen at left tackle did the best work in the line for Washington. He seemed to be the only forward on the Chestertown team who could diagnose the Hopkins plays and jump to the spot which the man with the ball was going to hit. Wallace and Brown contributed the star individual plays for the visitors. The Washington team has a flashy attack that might win from an opponent unable to break up forward passes, but it was not as well grounded on the fundamentals of offense and defense as Hopkins.

The impressive features of the game from a local standpoint were the playing of Branham and Uhler and the improvement in the work of the linemen. It looks like a big year for Branham, but whether it is or not, yesterday certainly was his day. He had eveything that a back should have and he had it in large quantities. It was an axiom last year that Branham could not carry the ball successfully. He was admitted to be a whale on the defensive and in leading an interference, but he seldom got a chance to tote the old pigskin.

He upset all this dope yesterday. He had a long plunging carry through the line that hurled him yards into hostile territory. He, packed a stiff arm that was a wonder. His footwork seemed instinctive nnd he turned and twisted his way through broken fields in a manner that made those who remembered the Branham of former years rub their eyes. If lie continues to produce this sort of stuff, his value to the Hopkins team will be increased about 100 per cent, over that of 1915.

Unler Also Jlrilllant. Uhler's work also pleased Brennick yesterday. Claude has picked up his form where he dropped it at the end of last season and will be a very difficult man to stop this year. Darley played the best game at quarterback that he has shown yet and his chances for a regular job are on the upgrade. The brightest spot of the day, however, for the Hopkins coaches was the work of the linemen.

Their playing still is ragged in spots, but it showed a remarkable improvement over last week. The Hopkins team is developing slowly but surely, and should be a hard aggregation to defeat by the middle of November. Lineup: Hopkins. Position. Washington.

HOPKINS' NEXT OPPONENT BEATS GE0EGE WASHINGTON Gettysburg, Oct. 14. A belated rally in the last 10 minutes of play, in which Coach lierryman's men uncorked an array of open field work that dazzled their opponents, netted Gettysburg two touchdowns and enabled them to defeat George Washington University, 20 to 0, here today. For the visitors Captain Ilillis, King and Pepper were the stars and Captain Stratton, Moyer. Rote and Emanuel excelled for Gettysburg.

YW Princeton, N. Oct. 14. Standing on the 45-yard line in the last few minutes of playing time, Dave Tibbott. a stubstitute Princeton back, sent a drop kick soaring between the uprights and changed what was seemingly a scoreless game into a 3-to-0 victory for Princeton over Tufts.

Tibbott had been out of the game all season with injuries and would not have been called into the fray this aft ernoon had not several of the Princeton backfield men been injured. Princeton threatened to score on several other occasions, but in each instance was held for downs or fumbled. Princeton carried the ball down the field on straight football for 30 yards to Tufts' eight-yard line in the first few minutes of play only to have Brown, a halfback, fumble it. Jack Eddy, the Princeton quarterback, was the individual star of the afternoon, tearing off 30 and 40-yard runs through open fields time and again. Tufts failed to gain through Princeton's line but now and then were successful in some of their intricate plays.

The contest itself was one of the hardest fought that has been seen on University Field in years and the injuries were numerous. Princeton. Position. L. l.

Yale downed Lehigh today, 12 to 0, in a des perately fought game, the Pennsyl- vanians giving the Blue the hardest kind of opposition. The feature was a sensational 65-yard end run through a broken field for a touchdown by Legore. Half a dozen Lehigh players tackled him. but he shook them off. Bingham made Yale's other touchdown" in a 15-yard plunge through tackle.

Neither goal was kicked. Legore missed two attempted field goals. Lehigh could not pierce Yale's line for any appreciable gains, and the only ground gaining play was the forward pass. Once a long pass allowed the visitors to get within striking distance of the line, but Yale held. The line-up: Yale.
