A 54 yard drive accounted for the other "marker as the homesters opened their 1941 grid campaign.

St. James got its attack rolling in the last period and marched 92 yards for its touchdown. The Bulldogs started their drive against a team which included several substitutes reg ulars could not halt the Chester gang. The defeat was the second of the season for St. James but followers of the Blue and Gray were not dis couraged by the team's showing' against a far more experienced and much heavier outfit.

The St. James weakness was the inability of the line and blockers to open holes in the Germantown Academy line until the fourth period. But the line the boys were working against was strong and powerful and the failure is no discredit to the game local gridders. St. James held the upper edge through most of the first period as the result of Franny Smith's recovery of Bart Allen's fumble on the A.

Bill Shellenbcrger, veteran end. spilled Framiy Talbot for a six yard loss. Haley picked up ttvo ysrds and Talbot's first pass grounded, his second being intercepted by Captain.

Bill Luff and the bail changed hands. Johnnv Miller, son oi the former Temple coach, Heinie Miller, and Jack Martin sparked an advance good for two first downs.

Coleman, Muhlenberg; Field JtirtEC W. M. Roberts, F. M. The old fox of the football field, Simon F.

Pauxtis. has brewed a bit of frrid magric to shoot apainst the Blue ller.s of Delaware down Wilmington Park. Don't, be. surprised at anything you see out there under the lights tonight, as it will only be the P. M.

C. ball club trying something. The potent potion cooked up by the old maestro is a sort of throwback to the 'now you see it and now you dnnV era. It has plenty of the sleight of hand business. hu it's slrictly a modern presentation and has none of the corny about it's style or execution.

We hope the column isn't giving away any trade secrets on the former Penn All American, but if so it's too late now because you're reading about the whole thing. It is a formation slightly on the dizzy side with the tailback and fullback facing a bit away from the line and towards each other. They arc crouched in a sort of rocking chair squat, and when the ball comes back the two of them twist towards the enemy goal and for money you won't be able lo tell which one has that pigskin. After kicking around this grid game for a good many fall campaigns and trying to dream up a few plays of our own about. 3 a.

m. 'of a sleepless night it had reached the point where it didn't seem likely for a new offensive angle to be born. Dusting off old favorites and twisting some of the established routines around a bit was a gon eral custom, but digging up something entirely new appeared hopeless. However it seems that old Si did just exactly that. The rocking chair squat breaks out into standard lines.

In other words the ball is carried in the same old fashion towards what they hope are. vunerable spots in the line, or passes are made from one boy to the other. But the approach to the culmination is apart from the regular stuff. The number 2. or blocking back, comes back to split the rocking chair pair and the wing back enmrs flying around now and then.

It's a case of button, button who's got lite button? from then on. You'll lore it In a scrimmage session with Scranton University it worked perfectly when mixed with the regular formations. Up at N. Y. U.

the boys used it effectively for the first period and then put it away in the moth balls. Coach Pauxtis and his assistants, Bob McNamara and Ed Cramp, pul'ed all their hair out and then blamed Colonel Starr. After listening to the players it appeared that no one on the field was at fault in not using the play, so someone had lo take the rap. Even when something is good it is often hard to convince the players that it should be used in the grime. Wo remember the explicit case of one worthy young quarterback who was very proud of a particular play that was hard to execute and very, very tricky.

In signal drill the quarter would call this play and then beam with pride as the boys went through it in perfect precision. But came the games and play would be a forgotten dream. Finally the coach said "Tell me friend, why in the so and so you don't use this play in the game?" The player looked at him in astonishment. "That play!" he ejaculated, didn't know you wanted me to use TJI.AT play in a game." But the Pauxtis rocking chair business is not a play. It is formation.

It's not a variety of the formation, and it doesn't look like anything you have ever seen. It starts out as if two of the backs forgot to come out of the huddle. Then the ball is snapped and from then on it is "Brother, hold your Anything is likely to happen. Jimmy Hayes and Dick Ebcling are football mainstays with Buttery A eleven that baLtlcs for the Post championship at Fort Hancock, N. this week.

Jimmy is doing right well at a halfback post, while Dick is holding down the right end job and playing a whale of a game. Gene Glenney was a candidate for the team but suffered a recurrence of a knee injury that sidelined him while at St. Roberts. Battery A team is now in the finals of the Post title play, having beaten one of the regiments needed to get that far. Duve Smuckler, former All American from Temple University and a pro star with the Philadelphia Eagles, did not compete in the Fort Hancock championship series as he transferred to an Officers' School in Virginia.

Robert Kimicanc. who was a popular figure in local sports for the last several years, is noiv the sports writer for Battery A at Hancock and doing a right fine job according to reports. Jake fought in the Chester Times boxing tournament two years ago and made a lot of friends for his sameness and his desire to try anything in the sports line. Neighborhood fans are hopim; the battle between Sun Oil tnui Lloyd A. C.

at Lloyd Parle tonwrnnv afternoon will stir up the football fever that ence gave this area the repot at ion for supplying the most exciting sandlot football it: the East. 1'otr after yenr the teams developed with pure home town talent fought it out for the county championship and also knocked off anything that dared challenge their ability from outside. Lloyd has attempted to restore that old Eighth Ward enthusiasm by bringing back old heroes into the coaching game and the success of this venture will be best judged tomorrow afternoon when the old time fan of the Lloyd "Golden Era'' will he given a chance to show their appreciation for the return to the saner rivalry. Sun Oil also cut out the big names, and the big money and will attempt to restore a local atmosphere of its own. The rivalry belneen Sun and Lloyd is a natural one and do much to make this year's Dclco Grid Conference a must successful league.

Half holiday notes: Bill Hickman, former basketball coach at Col lingdaie High and now court mentor at Spring City, walks down the middle aisle with his chosen today. Jimmy Moore spotted Lam bertine Williams, of Baltimore, eighteen pounds and lost a t.k.o. on the final T. C. card Thursday evening.

Tim local middleweight took the bout as a favor to promoter Tribuani when Williams was brought in as a last minute substitution. He went two rounds before going down "under the. heavier cannons. At Tribuani was held to a diaw on the same card by Ed Finnaz.o, of Baltimore. The majority thought Al deserved the win.

but they also though! Fin nazzo would have tak him over a longer route. Tonight finishes up the Golden Gloves Tournament in F.ddie King and Harry Toy, of Lloyd, are still in the 318 pound class and may have to meet in the final. George El Paso Inst a heart breaker in Clem Russo in the 175 pound class. Charley Burley saw his greatest rival, Frankie and the G. guard, aided by finay blocking by Shellenberger and Mar tin.

The second touchdown was set up late in the opening quarter when Allen returned one of Gallagher's punts 23 yards to the Germantown 46. On the nest play Luff took the IWRK and the fine hand or Fred Parks, secretary of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, as handicappcr. The first six horses listed in the flat race have all won this year at hunt meetings.

Park High last night, 14 to 0, after 7,500 lans had waited nearly three, hours past the scheduled 8 p.

ai. kickofl time for floodlights to be erected and illuminated. It was 10.45 p. hi. before the battle finally got, under way, school officials having been left "holding the bag" by the borough committee in charge of the 50th anniversary celebration in the matter of lights for the battle.

It was 12.30 a. m. this morning when the final whistle sounded. The crowd which was the largest ever to see any Collingdale High football game, was attracted by the nocturnal contest and it took the delay in good spirits. It was entertained lor a while by the two bands.

Only a few asked for their money back and left. The lights, when turned on, were highly satis The three hour delay noticably atTected the play of both teams. Getting a team to fighting pitch at game time is tough enoughholding that pitch for a three hour wait is impossible. But the boys did re markably well considering every enmg. Collingdale had too much power for the Ridley Parkers, whom they smothered so completely that the Parkers were unable to make a first down.

The Colls ripped off 12 first downs and were on their way to another touchdown when the first half ended. The Coils had the edge of one game under1 their belts and they also had weisiht and experience over the Parkers. They were also aiaea oy poor passing Dy cne Parser center, caused partly by the fact that on kicks punter Eddie Dube shko stationed himself five to eight yards further back than he usually does. The lights may have affected his judgment. Ridley Park was in the hole from the start when Captain Lloyd Ellis, oi Collinffdale.

partly blocked a punt by Dubeshko. Although Ken Bowley recovered for Ridley, it was a fourth down boot and the Colls got the ball on. the Ridley 37. Although the Colls punched out a first down on the 'Ridley 24. they failed to score although the blocked kick led to the first touchdown.

The Parkers held for downs on their own 20 but. on the first play Dubeshko fumbled and Otts Davies recovered for the Colls on the 20. The Colls scored in six olavs. Jim. McBride rounded end for five but Ed.

Hogendobler was spilled for a three yard loss. However Davies, a 190 pound sophomore, slammed through right guard for eight yards Davies picked up two more yards, Rav He.rshev added three at tackle. then Davies bulled his way through center and into the end zone for the six pointer. McBride's placement for the point was wide. Ridley Park beat back another uotl tnreat.

in rue ecun iil huu Aft pr TTinchrtiffe had recovered another fumble by Dubeshko late in the first session. Hinchcliffe came up with the ball on the Parker 24 but after one first down the Colls missed another by a yard on the Ridley 10. The Colls would have had safetv on the next play since 1 heshko fumbled a bad Dass from center and was smothered in the end zone but the Colls were offside and Dubeshko got off a good punt after a five vard penalty. Late in the period the Colls drove 35 yards to a first down, on the Ridley 4 but the half ended before they could run another play. Early in the third period the Colls added two points on a saieiy.

rvic Bride quick kicked out on the Ridley 10 and Dubeshko was backer into the end zone to punt. But center Bill Coleman made a bounet oass of the ball out of the end 3on saTfttv. Ridley Park kicked off from the 20 Mike Bernardo's boot traveled only 15 yards, right into the hands of guard Pete Hauer who. although startled by his sudden role as ball carrier, managed to get Pack nve yarns. It was Davies and Hershey for seven plays and a touchdown.

Davies coins over' again on a smash through center, this time from the six yard mark. McBride again missed the bars with a placement and the score was at its final ni rrre. 14 to 0 The Cells krm himmnris TMrlipv's eates in the fourth nericd but could not push the ball into the end zone.

Word comes from the Jerseyites camp that Pratt has been the big gun in helping the Red Devils pile up their envious record. The Hurricane coaches. Mike Ryan and Lloyd Trout, haven't decided on a starting eleven and it is a sure bet tnat tne entire squaa win see action. The mentors evpect to use several newcomers with the veterans set the desired results.

Mecfcley and McCarthy are the signal callers. McCarthy may not see action in the Palmyra opener because of a slight leg injury. Lindsay and Nash will bear the brunt of the running attack along with Worrall. a triple threat artist. Kanuke, Helmuth and Hardican will take care of the all important blocking position.

After the Palmyra trip, the Hurricanes will hit the road again and perform at Bangor. Blue Bell. Harrisburg and York on successive Sundavs. Managers Don Roberts and Mike Kaufman request all players to be ai the club's quarters at 12 noon Sunday for the Palmyra journey.

It was the twelfth time Delaware has beaten the P.M.C. oovs against victor ies lor the local Cadets. Three times the game has ended in scoreless ties.

According to reports, the forward wail outplayed N. Y. 1 line last week and with the entire 1 group in shape, Delaware's first line of defense will be put to a severe 1 test.

Most cheering news to Delaware fans to come from the Blue Hen camp is the announcement tliat Bill (Red) Hotian. key man in the Offensive, who is nursing an injured linger, will he on hand to answer the opening gun. It was at first believed that the digit was broken, but later reports slated It was only sprained. However, two members of the eleven which faced West Chester are on the doubtful starting list. Melvin (Ripper Brooks, one of the fastest men on the squad and a capable ball carrier, is nursing an injured leg which may keep him out of the rnntest.
