Commerce for the intercity scholastic football championship title at Hawthorne The Crown Heights team played in hard luck throughout the struggle. Fordham's LUCKY WIN FOR POLY. By his steady work and his long standing record as a fullback during his career Trenkman has earned the reputation of being one of the beBt schoolboy football players at his position in the country. This is the opinion of experts. Trenkman has' the all-scholastic fullback position "cinched" in the opinion of the army ot scholastic football enthusiasts' He Is a marvel at the game.

But now a great question is puzzling the minds of the schoolboy football fans and that is how can Trenkman be entitled to first score was the result of a fluke, while the second touchdown was made on a for ward pass that appeared to be farther Outplayed for the Most Part, Brooklyn Lads Beat St. Paul's, 6 to 3. (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, November 12 In sixty minutes of most interesting rootball Pennsylvania and Michigan quit with honors even this afternoon, neither side being aMe to score. Both elevens exhibited an attack of about equal strength, but each bad a defense which closed up like a stone wall when the ball was inside the 20-yard lino. Once Pennsylvania held Michigan for downs on the nine-yard line, and again took the pigskin away, from the Wolverines on the 20-yard line.

Michigan did not hold Pennsylvania for downs In such close proximity to its goal, but twice compelled tho Red and Blue to resort to desperate measures, which served the same purpose. On both these-occasions Michigan got the ball. In the first quarter Michigan had by far the advantage in ground-gaining ability. The Westerners received the kick-off, and before Pennsylvania could get her defense going Michigan had smashed through the line and past midlleld. During this period Pennsylvania seemed hopelessly unable to stop the Michigan attack.

With Benbrook to open holes in the lines and Magidsohn and McMilluu to carry the ball, the Michigan men went down the field at a pace that terrified the Quaker students. Pennsylvania solved the Michi than the legal distance of twenty yards. Fordham had an advantage in weight of fully ten pounds to a man over tho Brooklyn Prep eleven, but nevertheless the Maroon team was played to a standr still in the old style of football. Ford-ham's trick plays and masterly handling of the forward pass, together with the tbe all-Bcholastic fullback position, which the question relating to how the result of the Erasmus-Adelphi game stands In the records of the local scholastic football teams. Erasmus scored a victory over Adelphi in the game in question by a score of 6 to 0 on a touchdown made by Edward O'Brien, right tackle, who had won a place as a star member of the eleven.

O'Brien, it developed, however, was not eligible as a member of the team because he was not duly registered as a student at the high school. This became known when the reports of the Btudents came out, and O'Brien's name was missing. O'Brien, it seemed, had posed as a student at one of the annex buildings and won a place on the team. Upon this discovery, which was made shortly after the Adelphi game was played. Dr.

Walter B. Gunnison, principal of Erasmus Hall High School, immediately wrote a personal note of apology to Dr. Alder, principal of Adelphi, explaining O'Brien's ineligibility and declaring It to be wholly a trick on O'Brien's part to Batisfy his passion for football, that got him to try for the Erasmus team. Dr. Gunnison followed this up with another open letter to the Adelphi team and school, explaining the affair and apologizing again.

Adelphi replied with the best of good feeling, thanking and complimenting Dr. Gunni is one of the most coveted places sought for by football players, it he is a post graduate student? Trenkman Is on his fifth year at Adelphi, and for this reason the Horace Mann football which battles with Adel before the big Thanksgiving Day gridiron battles, which will mark the close of the scholastic football season, are played. Next Saturday's contests are the last of the season's series before the big holiday attractions, and the final struggles carded tiring the schedules of tbe local scholastic elevens to a grand climax. On the result of the events scheduled for this week the chances of good Thanksgiving Day games may depend. Boys High tackles Erasmus Hall next Saturday, and no matter how the result of the battle goes, the outcome will be interesting to the scholastic football followers, for High School's last game is with Manual Training.

Poly Prep, which played Boys High to a scoreless game, meets Adelphi and winds up its schedule on Thanksgiving Day against Erasmus, in tbe annual conflict for the championship of the Long Island Interscholastlc Athletic League. Poly will be anxious to see what Erasmus can do against High School in order to get a line on the chances against the Flattjush team for the Thanksgiving Day battle. Manual will also watch the outcome with anxiouB eyes. Manual met defeat at the hands of Poly, and Poly was played to a scoreless game by Boys High, so if Erasmus trims High School badly, the Manualites can bank on a victory on the strength of their Election Day showing. Manual will be anxious to defeat High School, for then It will re (Special to The Eagle.) Garden City, L.

November 12 Tha Poly Prep eleven of Brooklyn visited this place to-day and scored a victory at the expense of the St. Paul's School team by 6 to 3. The visitors were lucky to get away with the game, for they were met by a team that outplayed them for the most part in every period. The winning touchdown was scored by Goodwin, Poly'a right end, who was on the job when Davis slipped in attempting to catch a punt on Poly's 40-yard line, and, snatching the bait, sped down the field for to uchdown. This happened in the first period after the ball had see-sawed up and down the field.

Harmon kicked the goal for Poly. Although the local schoolboys gained more ground than their opponents, the line of the Brooklyn scnool team, kept them from getting across for a touchdown. Poly braced up well at the critical moments, and the best St. Paul's phi for the Greater New York Interscholastlc Athletic League championship, asked to have Trenkman kept out of their recent game. There is a long standing rule between the two schools that no student who has spent four years at school will be allowed to take part in competitions between the school teams gan attack just in time and took the ball on downs on her own 20-yard line.

Field, yesterday, by a score of 5 to 0. Erasmus stood the test bravely and scored the victory by a sensational rally in the last period of the contest that even surprised their host of" loyal sup-. porters. The terrific flash of speed that the winning combination opened up fairly swept their opponents off their feet, and Erasmus so smashed the opposing line that it seemed hard for the fans to realize how the eleven found things so disadvantageous' in the first three periods of the game, during which no scoring was done. This can easily be explained, however, for the referee and umpire had marred the real flavor of the game by their ignorance of the game.

Erasmus did not get going in its right orm until the last quarter, however. Here the Flatbush eleven, working with its quota of regulation men, got the game started in the right way and fairly stood the Commerce team on its head. Taking the ball at a big advantage at the opening of the last period, the Flatbush eleven gained fully 150 yards on their opponents by amazing rushes and speed work, and Commerce never had a look-in. Erasmus' star back field earned the lion's share of the honors for the reversal of the form which the Flatbush eleven showed. Starting with a sensational run by by Hays Gamble, the crack quarter-back, Erasmus began its steady advance with the pigskin right past the opposing line till little Al McKinney, the elusive half-back, plunged over the goal line for the touchdown.

The goal was crossed amid exciting scenes. Byrne failed on the kick. The star run by Gamble, a good kick by Gallagher, and plunges through the Commerce line by McKinney. McGivney Gallagher on a succession of plays which were on the delayed pass, gained the ground for Erasmus that brought them to within real striking distance of their opponents goat pons. Hire the Erasmus backfleld showed its worth and the Erasmus rooters can thank thiir stars they have a coach whose forte is developing this particular part of the when a championship title is at stake.

Adelphi readily consented to abide by In the second period Pennsylvania uncovered an attack which had Michigan equally helpless. Getting the bull ou Michigan's 35-yard lino on a fumble. Mercer and Ramsdell carried it in four plays to the 15-yard lino. Then Michigan Broke up a forward pass and Pennsylvania had to resort to an attempt at drop-kicking. the rules, and it lost the game to Horace Mann.

He was deem Itself for losing to Poly, which son and Erasmus for the sportsmanlike attitude shown in the affair. But this did not settle the question as to how the game should stand or which team was rightfully entitled to victory. The Eagle has received queries from many sources as to how the game should be counted as a matter of record.

"Does Erasmus get the game?" "Should not Adelphi be rewarded with victory by forfeit?" or "Does was blocked. In the third period a wonderfully long punt by PattenglU, which rolled to Pennsylvania's 12-yard line, had the Quakers In trouble. Michigan got the ball on tha finally got one over the second period. Kleinert, at fullback, starred for Poly. His kicking was a feature, for he booted the pigskin out of the danger zone on nearly every occasion, and was responsi losers' poor work in handling punts, brought victory to the Bronx school.

The winners were unable to gain any ground on straight formations, but their numerous trick plays completely bewildered the Brooklynltes. Hamburger, the brilliant quarterback of the winners, was the star of the struggle. His sensational end runs scored most of Fordham's gains, while his excellent punting materially aided his team in obtaining the victory. O'Rourke, who played at left halfback, also advanced the ball many times on line plunges, while he and Hamburger did most of Fordham's tackling. Golden, the big fullback, was the hero from a Brooklyn standpoint.

Every time the ball was given to him he ripped off large gains, the Fordham players being unable to stop his fierce line plunges. His work on the secondary defense was also of first-class order, for on a number of occasions when a Maroon player broke through the Brooklyn line, Golden brought him to the ground with a hard tackle. John McCafferty also played well, while the McNulty brothers put up their usually strong game, although Fordham had been well coached in the way to stop their end runs. Gregory kicked oft for Brooklyn to O'Rourke, who ran back ten yards. O'Rourke and 'Hamburger, on a series of end runs, brought the ball to midfield, where Brooklyn held for downs.

P. McNulty gained 8 yards on an end run. Golden advanced tbe leather 5 yards through Finnegan. H. McNulty made 4 on an end run, and his brother 5 on the same play.

Golden hit the Fordham line first for 10 yards, then for 8, and when he was going through a third time he was thrown heavily to the ground and fumbled the ball. Simonetti fell on thn leather for Fordham on her own 10-yard ilne. After an exchange of punts, time was called with Fordhaih in possession of the ball on her own 9-yard mark.

If the Livingston street representatives can rise to that form which will make them rival the Adelphi eleven, then Erasmus can look for a hard battle on Thanksgiving Day. Boys High and Poly are therefore the real teams that have to be disposed of before Erasmus can rightfully claim the borough championship. Closely scrutinizing the leading Brook Mann and aak to have Trenkman dropped from the eleven for the Poly-Adelphl game next Saturday for the same reason the game go out of the recoras as tnougo it was never played at all?" are some of the queries of anxious enthusiasts.

The chances are that the two lyn school elevens, one does not outclass how the result shall stand, inasmuch as the game was not played according to any specified rules, nor was the contest governed by any league or laws. According to precedent an occasion like this, where a team scores a victory with an ineligible player, the other side would be awarded the victory through forfeit.

But of the game the two teams played on the other to any great degree, so far as football among the local teams themselves is concerned, Erasmus, Poly, schools will come to some agreement and Trenkman will probably remain out of the game because of his standing.

Because of the interborough flavor attached to the game, a large crowd of scholastic football rooters from oith Bides of the bridge was on hand. The weather was of the real variety for the gridiron warriors, but a bleak wind blew acriss the field among the spectators and kept them shivering. They forgot this unpleasantness In the excitement of the game, however, for there waB not a pe-rio'i of the battle that was not l'laying the game and making their triumph while yet hardly over the strain their hard battle with Manual on Election Day, the sturdy Erasmus warriors stood the test like veterans, and came out of the conflict with victory testing all the more sweet to them after the rattling good finish, Erasmus is still able to make the Droud boast that it has yet to to how the officials would next interpret the rules.

tne scnoiastic lootDall season draws to a close, and the contest for places on the all-scholastic eleven grows warmer. In the first quarter, New York scored on an intercepted forward pass, which COLUMBIA SOCKERS WIN. Qarsch carried seventy yards for a touch claim the game on the ground of O'Brien's ineligibility and assert that the game should be dropped from the scholastic football records as though it never had been played. Dr. Gunnison, speaking for Erasmus, Is not very strong on this.

So far as he is concerned, the game stands in favor of Erasmus Hall's record. While he is sorry that such an incident as the playing of an ineligible player happened, he locks upon it as no discredit to the team. Dr. Gunnison made a thorough investigation of the case and was assured that there was no collusion on the part of the players, coach or teachers to cover up O'Brien, who was masquerading as a student. The principal declared that he would have expelled every member of the football team on the spot if he had found reason to believe there had been any intentional wrongdoing of this nature.

He declared that it was purely a case of carelessness. If the game had been played in a league, under rules, or for a prize or title, where a player's eligibility would have to be certified to before he could enter the game, Dr. Gunnison admitted that he would readily disclaim any credit of victory for the Erasmus team. There being no governing rule or authority over the game, the local scholastic football enthusiasts find themselves still In a quandary as to how the result stands. Dr Alder, principal of Adelphi, and the players and admirers of the Lafayette avenue team Inferred from Dr.

Gunnison's letter that he felt that when it came to comparing the strength of the teams it did not matter to him whether the game was allowed to stand or not. Dr Alder, speaking for Adelphi, told an Eagle reporter that he thought the best way to settle the question was to have the game dropped from the records. "We wouldn't think of claiming that game," he said. "The mistake was theirs, and It was- done without any collusion on the part of the team." Dr. Gunnison's attitude is different.

He claims that Erasmus is still entitled to the 5 to 0 score over Adelphi. That Is just how the situation stands, and the question, therefore, IB up to the scholastic football followers themselves to decide. Staten Island Defeated, Goals to 1, Fordham punted and Rorke of Brooklyn misjudged the kick. A Fordham player fell on the ball and a forward pass. Hamburger to Shannon, and a 25-yard end run by Hamburger brought the pigskin to Brooklyn's 18-yard mark, where tho Crown HeightB team held for downs.

Herbert McNulty dropped back for a punt on the very first play, but Murphy broke through, Cunningham blocked the kick and when the ball rolled over the goal line the same player fell on it for a touchdown. Hamburger kicked a difficult goal and made the score: Fordham Prep, Brooklyn Prep, 0. On the kickoff after the touchdown, Gregory sent the ball directly betwetn the crossbars for a touchdown ana fordham derided to. rush the ball. On the first play, the Bronx team attempted a forward pass, but John McCaffrey Intercepted the ball and ran thirty yards before he was downed on Fordham's 7-yard line by Hamburger.

On the next play Golden went over the line for a touchdown for Brooklyn, but Referee Tom Scanlon of Fordham would not allow the sccre, as he claimed that Golden Btepped outside the playing field before he made the tally. Fordham then held Brooklyn for downs on the 2-yard mark. Hamburger punted from behind his own goal and after Rorke returned the ball to the 25-yard line, time was called. Iu the third oeriod Hamburger kicked off to Golden, who brought the ball back ten yards. Good work by Golden and the McNulty brothers ne'tted forty yards for the Brooklynltes before they were held for downs.

The pigskin changed hands several times before time was railed with the ball in Brooklyn's possession on Fordham's 45-yard mark. By some fast work on the part of Hamburger Fordham brought the leather to Brooklyn's 9-yard mark, but at this point the Blue and White line held like a stone wall and on three attempts rordham failed cross the line. Herbert McNulty got off a long punt to Hamburger. Fordham then worked the forward pass that appeared to be more than twenty-yardB. but which the feree allowed.

Fordham then brought the ball to the one-yard mark on another forward pass. Robinson was twice thrown for a loss, but on the third down Ham down; the second quarter saw Weslcyan fail to carry the ball one yard in four chances.

Larson Used Many Players. The spirited rally of the victorious eleven in the Ana! period was again significant of Coach Larson's heady tactics. With the real goods of the eleven working in the form that has been displayed on every other occasion there was no reason why the Flatbush team should score, but the way Larson went at his plai of battle during the early part of the campaign soon indicated that the team would be able to make much progress. Larson juggled many players in and out of the game. He tried to work his safest and surest play for a ground gainer four times during the conflict and it failed.

Usually this play is worked Gamble to McMath and when the combination is put to it the play is pretty sure to go, but little Sperry hardly filled Mac's place. It was not McMath's fault that the forward pass tried while he ai in the game went awry, for Hoth was doing the tackling this time in place of Gamble who went out of the game in- jured. There were a tew other changes that soon showed big improvement. These uncertain shifts gave Commerce its chance to shine during the first three periods.
