With the ghosts of four pre university, 6 to 2, after failing on many occasions to put the necessary punch behind their formations, after they had driven their way to within what seemed to be easy strik vious victories dancing before their eyes, the overgrown Teddies ripped, slashed and clawed ing distance of their opponent's goal.

It was the result of a fumble of the marked by many individual tri umphs. first kickoff. Gorman kicked off to Cabrinha but the ball was already water- Is ever in their lives have the 22 young giants, that braved the mud and rain in Saturday's hectic bat soaked and muddy and Cabby fum bled.

Loyola recovered the ball on Dayton's 25 yard line. Three plays through the line netted first down and then Norton circled end for four yards. Cronan failed at end and Norton repeated his previous run around end for a touchdown. The try for point failed but the six points were enougn, lor during the endless session, of slipping. fumblintr and heart-rending at tempts at passing, Dayton was found wanting when a few yards meant a touchdown.

Jhe two action photos of the Roosevelt victory over Steele are remarkable, because of the fact that they were taken under such adverse circumstances.

The upper photo shows Herby while Loyola was going 25 yards for the touchdown. Loyola never equalled its playing that it displayed in this march for while the STHVEMS SCOTT LONG RUNS BY EVANS OF Flyers were becoming accustomed to the slime the Chicago eleven got in its work. Dayton's score came in the last tle, been so close to Old Mother Nature. From the sidelines, it was practically impossible to distinguish the players, the spectators using running strides, profiles, as a means of telling one man from the other. Close to 4500 fans stood and shivered in the grip of a cold, drizzly rain to watch their favorites sway back and forth with the tide of battle, and nearly 3000 of these same 4500 cheered themselves hoarse, when Rieske went over for the only score early in the first quarter, capping the climax to as stirring a fight as ever seen in 15 minutes of play on a Dayton gridiron.

The stands were filled long before the time of the game with hundreds of slicker-bedecked rooters, who availed themselves of the opportunity of hurling challenge after challenge across the field at each other. Many of them were worn out before-the struggle had commenced, but some of tho more leather-lunged type were just as full of pep and enthusiasm at the close of the game as they were at the beginning. The appearance of the two teams was the signal for an outburst of cheering seldom witnessed at a high school game. The Steele Lion in all his majesty and splendor stalked out on the field first followed a short time later by the Grizzly. Both teams lined up two complete elevens and ran through signal practice as a means of warming up.

From the opening whistle the majesty of the Lion vanished.

In a gome quite without particular incident, Pennsylvania defeated Chicago this after-, noon by a score of 7 to 0 and thereby increased the prestige of eastern football by something only a trifle less than 1000 per cent, the ball was in no condition to either permit a good throw or a sure catch. The ball was in Loyola territory, except for a few minutes during the entire second and fourth Half of Toledo Game BY SIMON BL'RICK TOLEDO, Oct. 24. The Stivers football team of Dayton trampled over the Scott high eleven of this city at the Seibert stadium today, after 60 minutes of furious milling by the score of 13 to 6. A steady dripping rain which started early this morning and lasted throughout the game, made the field a veritable sea of mud and handicapped the players of the two teams considerably.

Fumbles and the calling of time out were frequent. periods. The game was very slow and time was taken out often to permit the players to dig the mud out of The game provided a meeting their eyes and mouth, iwenty-five yards on both sides of the away at the Penn line all afternoon and got the benefit of the doubt on some very fine interference from Henderson, but the Stivers displayed its best interference of the season. Long runs were practically an FOOTBALL RESULTS middle of the field was mud so slippery that runner and tackier would skid for yards after they hit the ground. Water stood on the small part of the field "that boasted of grass.

Snelling's punts were the feature of the afternoon's play. Despite the eel-like condition of the ball, Snelling averaged 45 to 60 yards. It was his toe that took the ball into Loyola territory. Capt Lou Mahrt tooked especially well in open field running and his gains around end aided much in the advancement of the ball. For Loyola, Cronin and Nor between the recognized belt-wearer of the eastern field, and the 1924 champions of the western conference, the he-man from the spaces taking one on the chin at an early moment and continuing to do so with great regularity for the remainder of a moist afternoon.

A sincere rain operated throughout the game and made of it a catch-as-eatch-can proposition. Chicago was outplayed, but not outfumbled. Only one of those made the slightest difference to anybody, Leitn fumbling' Chicago into a chance for a touchdown. With the ball well inside the 20-yard line, Kernwein hurled a desperate pass over the goal line, and Chicago's only definite chance to score evaporated into thin air. Pennsylvania's average was a trifle better.

It had four chances to score and made good on one of eastern defense had a disconcerting habit of closing up as rapidly as it opened, and McCarty's style was cramped considerably. Late in the game he broke outside left tackle for 18 yards, but otherwise he just didn't click, most of the "five yard" gentleman's gains being confined to five feet, if at all. Owing to the fact that Pennsylvania was away running with its early score, young Bob Curley, greatest of all modern field goal kickers, did not deploy into action, three field goals being necessary to offset one touchdown. A crowd of sat out the situation, for no good reason, the game hardly being worthy. The rain simply made the situation all wet, and the boys walked out on the pastime in great numbers.

It was the fourth time Pennsylvania has taken a fall out of Chicago in five ton in the backfield carried the FIELD generalship is a great thing. If a team is handled properly on thf field it usually gets advantage of the breaks. Steele high played good football against Roosevelt Saturday afternoon, but a little error in generalship probably gave the Teddies the chance to score their only touchdown. Orothodox football calls for a team to punt when it Is near its goal-line because of the danger of fumbling the ball. The danger of fumbling is even greater on a wet field, making it more imperative to kick and get the ball out of the Big Red territory.

But Steele failed to do this. A fumble resulted and Roosevelt recovered the ball on the three-yard line from where the 'only score of the game was made, Before this touchdown, the Steele line had shown that it was one of real ability by holding the Teddies for downs on the three-yard line on two occasions in the first quarter. a THIT'victory of Roosevelt over Steele is the first for the Teddies over either of the other two members of the Big Three. For the first time this season, Steele and Stivers will meet on Thanksgiving Day without having the championship at stake. Steele's defeat eliminated that sqhool from the title-running and' made the Stivers-Roosevelt game of Nov.

7 the big title affair. Of course, there is a good chance that the title race may end in a If Stivers defeats Roosevelt and then loses to Steele, all three teams will be on equal terms in their race for honors. The victory of Stivers over Toledo Scott Saturday was espe- cially pleasing. It stamped "Fuzzy" out as one of the best scholastic halfbacks in the country. He has one more year of competition in high school before going to college.

Watch him for the next six years! THAT Loyola eleven sure must be a real bunch of mud-horses. For the second straight year the Chlcagoans entered the game ith University of Dayton on the short end of odds and come off the field with a victory on a muddy field. The Loyola-Dayton game here last season was played In a sea of mud and went to the Chicago team 7 to 6. Saturday's fi-to-2 loss was the first of the season for the Flyers, who next Saturday play their first Ohio Conference opponent, Cincinnati, at Cincinnati. teams remain with chances to the Big Ten football championship as the result of Saturday's games.

They are Michigan, Iowa, Chicago and Minnesota. Michigan returned victorious in each of its three conference games and appears to be the strongest outfit. Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois fell before Benny Friedman and his teammates. Iowa holds victories over Illinois and Ohio State in Its only two conference games. Chicago defeated Northwestern, but has a tie game against its record with Ohio State.

Minnesota has not played a Big Ten game, so cannot be rated as a championship contender. Prospects appear bright for both Iowa and Michigan to flnUh the season witherfect records as the teams do not face each other. Michigan has three remaining conference games, Northwestern, Ohio State and Minnesota, besides a game with Navy next Saturday. Iowa plays Wisconsin and Minnesota in tho conference and Wabash and Southern California out of it. Purdue, Illinois and Wisconsin have the chance to upset Chicago, while Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan face Minnesota.

Minnesota can get clear claim to the title by winning her games, for she faces the only two teams with perfect marks, brunt of the burden. The Dayton rooters had a chance to cheer in the second period when Snelling kicked to Loyola's 12. Johnson fumbled and Eisele fell on the ball. The however ruled that the ball was downed by Johnson. But Dayton had another chance coming through the efforts of Snelling who kicked to Loyola's one-yard line.

impossibility because of the condition of the gridiron, but perfect interference on the part of the forward wall of the Big Orange allowed Evans to go on two long runs for touchdowns. The first touchdown was a run of 43 yards through a broken field in the third period and the second was even more sensational than the first, "Fuzzy" running 70 yards for a goal at the beginning of the fourth period. Evans was the individual star of the afternoon in the offensive nlay, Sack, quarterback, starred for the local outfit. In defensive nlay, Captain Gitman, guard, Schear, center, and Abbott, fullback, stood out for tho Gem City lads. Schear recovered two Scott fumbles, Scott took the lead in the first two minutes of play.

Abbott kicked off to Sharpe. Rohar? punted on the second play to Snyder, who fumbled. Sanders recovered for Scott on the 12-yard mark. Sharpe and Sack made successive gains, Sharpe made a touchdown around right end. Sack missed kick for point after goal.1 Score 6 to 0.

The ball was in Stivers territory all the rest of the period. Stivers had its first opportunity in the second period. Schear recovered a Scott fumble in mid-field. A pass from Lehman to Farrier put the ball on the 23-yard them, which was ample, sufficient and enough. It all happened rather suddenly in the opening period.

An exchange of punts gave Pennsylvania possession of the ball on games played to date, the. fifth resulting in a tie. DAYTON. I', ef Loyola, Rooarvelt, Stfflr. 0.
