THE BROOKLYN DAtLY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER, 7, 1929. 22 "Big Three" Look Impressive in Opening Skirmishes on the Gridiron Odd Results of K. O's and Near Finishing Punches By Ed Hughes Booth, Made to Order for Yale's Pet Climax Plays, Cheers Old Eli Alumni By GEORGE CTRRIE. William Roper, '00, chewed his fingernails on the sidelines at Princeton while a rugged and willing Amherst line stalled his Orange and Black team for three quarters. Seated nearby was Eddie Wittmer, his pride and joy.

Eddie had a Charley horse in the knee. Eddie bit his fingernails, too. I XT. CfcAPWUur fC wi'in Barmsbck cLwREfc, L)- Ha. yV ALL.

"THE I ttif Everything looked black artd purple under the gray mackerel sky which glowered down upon a backfiring Princeton team. The cheer which greeted Vogt's touchdown would not have been out of place in a Princeton-Yale game. Up at Yale, one learned from the Western Union, the pet climax plays, the plays that are apt to go for a touchdown from even midfleld, other things being O. K. A friend of mine, observing that game, reports that Booth must be delivered beyond the line of scrimmage before he gets in his greased pig flight tow-aid the goal line.

Quite so. And so did Ted Coy and Frank Butterworth. Some day the public will wake up to the fact that the play which goes has 11 men in it and not Just one.

If a little scene that took place on the Athletics' bench days ago I pooh-poohed the Idea that fighters battle for rounds without knowing it, but take it from Jimmy Johnston, it can be done.

Phil Scott, he claims, did it for seven rounds against Vittorio Campolo in their recent turnup at Ebbets Field. "You're all wrong about that sort of thing!" exclaimed James. "Take my Philip, for example. Do you recall his being hurt by Campolo's wallop in the first round? Bet you don't know how badly bent he was. Well, I'll tell ynu.

When Scott came back to his corner I put the ammonia under his nose ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. It was a sniff strong enough to tear a man's head off and crowd was rising to its feet, calling on the Blue to "Beat N. Y. U.l" EU and the Violent Violets played a game by proxy over the week-end. Chick Meehan's men thumped Vermont for 77-0 a week ago.

But Saturday in that fourth period with the score 69 0 22,000 roared for young Booth and Snead and Austen to come on and beat the Big Town team's score. They did. Which- was a tough break for the inoffensive and dismayed Vermonters. Cambridge, where Harvard plays football in the afternoon sunlight on Soldiers' Field, across the gleaming, slumbering Charles River, saw a couple of forward passes actually completed by the Crimson, beheld young Thomas Gilligan scuttle over the white 10-yard lines like a fury possessed, felt the dawn of a great hope. Superficially one Is tempted to ponder on the homertc battles shaping up on a line through last week's games.

Tigers Lack Scoring Spark. One reflects, however, that there is no reason for the football fan to overlook the World Series in baseball during the coming week, even if the "Big Three" could draw a total of 55,000 to their openers. Princeton, with Wittmer out and starting without Trix Bennett, the dancing dervish on whom has descended the mantle of Elijah Slagle, "27, lacked the scoring 6park. One beheld Roper's version of a spinner play from Warner's famous "formation One also looked upon Gil Doble's Cornell interpretation of the short, flat pass behind the line, another invention of Pop Warner. One saw Yale's old sweep play, with the ball carried by No.

3 back. And one saw all of them executed with a typical first game Indecision. Hands that had nothing but thumbs muffed passes, both forward and snapoacks. Scarlet, time after time, cut back to dive headlong into the industrious out ubiquitous rears of a pair of Princeton clean-out men. Scarlett is too fast.

Bennett had great trou ble to avoid climbing up the backs of his Interference. The stuff is there at Princeton, but it is still crude. The left side of the Tiger line is as preen as the turf 'under its feet. But if Cornell can find any comfort in that, then the "Big Red Team" overlooks the curious bssons of football history. The ii-jer looks potentially as dangerous always.

Tooth Shakes Mean Hip. Yale's victory over Vermont means nothing net. The same goes for N. Y. Don't let the old grads cf either tell you differently.

The Green from up North would have a hard time handling Andover or Exeter. It simply isn't there, this year. But the workout did give the 57 varieties of coaches at Yale this a chance to look their charges over. Booth more than made pood. He runs like Eddie Casey, Harvard's famous All-American.

He is a wraith in an open field. Men lay hands upon him and dive to earth, clutching empty air or tufts of useless sod. He shifts his gait and shakes a mean hip, threading his way through a broken field. He i n't fart, he is much better than ilat. He is foxy.

He is made to order for Yale's at the Stadium yesterday is Series banner will fly In Philadelphia. Just before the gong rang for the start of the last game of the season Kid Gleason Phil didn't even blink. I call nearly out, put on a wrestling match with Al Simmons. It was all good clean fun and the ancient Connie Mack looked on in smiling approval. The other players rolled around the dugout in laughter, egging on Al and the Kid.

The bout ended when Gleason swung his knuckles on Simmons' skull. Some skulls are like that. "I shouted in his ear not to slug but to box, but what good did it do? Scott didn't understand me. That accounted for his slugging instead of boxing until Fonseca Big Surprise. Majors Should Bring Field Days Back Again.

By HAROLD C. BCKR. It's going to be a World Series of the greenhorns. Only three of the Cub regulars have ever been in the great fall classic before and not one of the Athletics, except Jack Quinn, and he's a pitcher. Rogers Hornsby played second base and managed the Cards In 1926 when the Missourlans nosed out the Yankees for the title.

"Hack" Wil son was a member of the Giants in their tilt against Washington and Kikl" Cuyler, then a Pirate, par ticipated in one World Series and sat through another. Barney Drey-fuss let him go in against the Sen ators, but kept him In the dugout of penance during the Yankee rout. Other than Quinn, the Athletics have only two athletes on their I. i 1 -1 checks George Burns, who was on first for Cleveland when the Indians beat the Robins in 1920, and Eddie Collins, whose World Series feats are without number. The Cubs have Arthur Nehf, the old Yankee pitching thorn, and Norman McMillan, who watched the Yankees and Giants joust in Rupert livery.

All of which means nothing. A player might take part in World Series all his baseball life and still not be able to get the hang of the things. Another player might shine from his first time at bat. Temperament, not experience, is what counts. Lew Laughs Last.

The despised is not longer re Jected. When the American League season began Lew Fonseca wasn't even a dark horse for batting honors in the junior loop. Sluggers like Simmons, Foxx, Manush, Ruth, Lazzeri and Heilmann never wasted a thought on the Cleveland threat. But Lew came fast in the closing weeks of the race and the final unofficial figures give him the edge over Simmons. He's been the big surprise of Uie American League.

It would be too bad if the official averages deprive him of his hard- oougni, laureis. ronseca-nas oeen a doormat of the game so long it's been a real pleasure to see him come through, and Simmons has enough to give him satisfaction, what with playing through the long scheduii on his creaky, rheumatic legs and getting into the World Series and all. No matter what happens in the final llgurlng Fonseca Is a made ball player. His days of riding the wood are over. This year work has firmly intrenched him at the Indians' initial sack, and 3930 should see consolidating his position connaentiy.

New Champs Wanted. The Cincinnati Reds held a field day yesterday in connection with the final game of the season with the Cardinals. Field days with their circling the bases against time, fun- go hitting and throwing for distance are nothing new, but haven't been indulged in extensively of late years. The Idea is a good one and should be brought back throughout the National and American Leagues. September is a draggy, dull month the majority of clubs.

This ha; just been illustrated in New York. Giants and Yanks were Just finishing their schedules, with little or no chance to improve their standings. The crowds stayed away because the games didn't mean any- tmng. But if the Polo Grounds and the Yankee Stadium managements had arranged a series of field days the last weeks along the Harlem would nave been brightened up consider- aoiy. au eight clubs in each league took part, which could bo easily arranged, there would be a champion base clrcler, fungo hitter and thrower.

And the day befora the World Series the champions of each league could meet In a sort of Individual world's championship of U1CIT OWU. Hakoah Soccers Tie As Wanderers Lose Hawthorne Field suffered a suc cessful raid by New England soccer players yesterday afternoon, when, In an American League double-header, which drew a crowd of S.000, Providence took into camp the Brooklyn Wanderers by the score of 2 goals to 0, and Pawtucket escaped with a 22 tie ajalnst the Brooklyn Hakoahs, who held a 2- 0 lead early in the second half. Patterson, from Hopg's pass, shot the first goal for Providence TO min utes from half-time and then En- terkln missed a penalty for Brooklyn. Dick made it 20 for the visitors after 10 minutes of play In the second half. A penalty, well taken by Schneider, started the Brooklyn Hakoahs olT In the lead after the game, with Pawtucket had been on five minutes and Nehadoma shot a spectacular goal midway in the second period as the ball hit the left upright and, spinning ri-jht across the goalmouth, struck the other one and thrn bounced into the net.

In the laft IS minutes of the game the visitors put on full steam Kennedy and Adams getting the two goals necessary to stave off defeat.

Has No Flame Of Ferocity in Play. Booth is no Frank Hinkey. For all his 145 pounds, the same weight the great "Living Flame" weighed in at, this boy has no lambent flame of ferocity in his play. But he is a natural as a standout halfback. Once loo, say your prayers for Ataa Mater, if she happens to be playing Yale.

But he needs a line to liven things up. And one understands that the Blue line is not what might be called a stone wall. In fact, hadi Vermont anything like a forward wall, one hears that the Bulldog's barrier would have been made to look like a Blue seive leaking Greon ball carriers. An 89 0 triumph is no great experience for a new line. Adam Walsh would appear to have his hands full, stiffening up.

Georgia, for all that it has been defeated by Oglethorpe this season, will be no Vermont on its home ground next Saturday. Yale will hardly christen the Southern Bulldog's new stadium with an 890 deluge of touchdowns. Georgetown's Defeat Is Grid Tragedy. One looks over the old "Big Three" and decides they will be fairly well able to take care of themselves. Princeton, a notoriously slow starter, always gets "hot" in November.

Beating Amherst this year in a first game is something to be proud of. The Purple and White is nobody's pushover and a former President of the United states and his bridegroom son may as well put in their application for tickets for the Williams and Wesleyan games. They are likely to get a glorious graduate eyeful. One realizes that Bates and Vermont are hardly tests for Harvard and Yale, the Crimson and the Blue showed real attacks, tried out their plays, got a chance to see them go in competition. Army's slaughter of Gettysburg; Notre Dame's 140 victory over In diana, a tough assignment, with the famous big shot of track, Elder, as scoring hero; Wisconsin's healthy battle with Coleate; Nebraska's scoreless tie with Southern Methodist; the continued procession of N.

Y. U. and Columbia; Navy's leisurely workout; Dartmouth and Cornell still saying it with touchdowns all indicate trouble ahead. As for Georgetown's defeat by Western Maryland and California's scoreless tie with St. Mary's let us rush to draw a kindly curtain over the tragedies.

Nobody figures to keep a clean siate this year, but it hardly seems decent to dwell upon some of the results so early in the season. Since this "3" team plan authorized, simultaneous with tlie adoption of the rotating loo.uail schedule, there seems to be an impression in some quarters that the teams were created to provide home and home games between some of the conference schools. This, oi course, is erroneous. The rotating schedule enables each conference school to play four conference games each fall. And if it has had any result In conference iootball it is that the teams which previously scheduled few games in the conference have been strengthened by playing against conference opponents.

I believe every one admits that there is less difference in playing ability between the top cf the percentage column and fhe bottom than three years ago. Final Major Records NATIONAL I.EAGl E. Standing of the Club. rt TX 70 r-o S6 T4 Ml I i Yesterday's Results. Bl 2.

Biddy Bishop, the Western fight manager, once told me one as funny about a fighter named Lawrence. This Individual told him that he lay dreaming on the floor after receiving a knockout wallop.

Finally, little birds appeared and their chirping woke him up I Hard wallops undoubtedly create such amazing fancies.

Aboard the Athletics Special, Chicago bound, Oct. 7 (P! A tall serene man from Philadelphia is on his way to the World Series wars again after a wait of 15 years.

He is following the very same trail he hit Just 19 autumns ago in an even earlier battle, and following it much the same frame of mind he had at that time when the Cubs of Tinker and Evers and Chance, passing down from the crest cf their greatness, were at his mercy after two straight defeats at Shibs Park. Cornelius McGillicuddy will re sume that rivalry of 1910 at Wrlg-ley Field in Chicago tomorrow, but to him and to his new brood of Athletics the blue ribbon meeting with the Cubs is just another string of ball games. That mental attitude doubtless played its part in the World Series successes achieved by the Athletics of the past; carried on to the field in 1929. it could prove a dangerous weapon to the young men of Joseph McCarthy. On the train last night and today the Athletics were far more concerned over the failure of Al Simmons to overhaul Lew Fonseca of Cleveland In the race for the batting championship than they were over the games with the Cubs.

Simmons himself gave his undivided time and attention to an earnest conference with Ty Cobb, who for years has taken a marked Interest in the batting of the young Milwaukee star. Mack Retires Early. The master manager's only worry was in herding seven carloads of players, reporters, friends and fans into his special train with 1.000 Philadelphia, young and old, large and small, at his heels or under foot. That Job finished, Mr. Mack retired early with the announcement that his pitcher for the opening game would be chosen at about 1:13 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

This patriarch of World Series warfare. In his 67th year, never was ruffled In 40 baseball campaigns, but even his great self-control could not hold back the wisp of a smile last night as fellow townsmen sent his special train out of the North Philadelphia station with a salvo of shouts to "Bring back two game!" The special departed from North Philadelphia at 9:30 o'clock. Eastern standard time, and was on a 17-hour schedule to Chicago. Of the famous Athletic team which won four pennants and three world titles in the five-year period from 1910 through 1914, only Con nie Mack and Eddie Collins will be on hand when play starts tomorrow. Collins la listed as an eligible, but hardly will swing a bat.

Ty Cobb is the only former player on the trip. Football Game Ends In Knifing by Negro Chicago. Oct. 7 (Pr A football game beiwren a team of white players and a team of N'rgroea ended in a knite assault at a Maywood fleJ yesterday. Five persons were stabbed and one was beaten.

It was a contrast to the scene in the same dugout a year ago where the Cardinals gloomily watched the Yankees practice. But the A's are no Jaded ball club, laboring under a strain. If they ever had a mental hazard they have hurdlea it.

Everybody Fit Including Father. "My boys are all fit," beamed Mack, looking proudly down the seated line of comedians in gray at their youthful antics. "I haven't got i a pitcher with a sore arm or a fielder with a Charlie horse. That's un usual on the eve of a series." Connie, once more the proud baseball father, would make no predictions on the outcome of the biq (Icings starting tomorrow in Chi-caso. "You must excuse me he said politely.

I thought that I had been licked until Terry McGovern put me straight on the thing. "That was after the fight arid I was sitting alongside of Terry, who remarked: 'You gave him an awful beating. Why didn't you put him out when you had him "It was all news to me.

I could only remember getting knocked down, and yet I fought the remaining eight rounds on instinct and won an easy decision. That sounds like boloney, of course, but, take it from me, it's the truth." What Wilson Remembered In Downey Fight. Not long ago I ran into Johnny Wilson, former middleweight champion, and asked him his opinion of Loughran's strange finish against Sharkey. Wilson docsnt think Loughran quit. A punch such as Loughran got from Sharkey can rob a man of his wits without knocking him stiff, confided Johnny.

"The mind can go blank, for I've had it happen to me. The time I fought Bryan Downey in Cleveland, for instance. "Downey hit me on the chin. I can recall the punch coming, and 1 felt Its impact. I remember going down, and after that crawling or.
