Ben Leonard Wins, But in Empty Style NEW YORK, Oct.

(AP) Benny Leonard, once king ef the lightweights, started the long, rough eomeback trail tonight with a somewhat questionable knockout victory over the little known Pal Silvers of New York. Fifteen thousand fans, all that could pack their way iato the Queensboro stadium, saw Silvers go down under a flurry of bjows in the second round. Referee Arthur- Donovan tolled off the count and at 10 Silvers got to his feet but Donovan waved him to his corner and lifted Leonard's arm In token of victory as the crowd booed and cheered mostly the former. Leonard; with a roll of flesh about his waist, occasionally shot' that once famous left to Silvers' body in the first round but it clearly was not the Leonard of old. Two minutes of the second round had assed, the crowd was yelling for action, when Leonard let loose with a flurry of what appeared to be only feather blows and Silvers went to the mat.

The 4 timekeeper began the count but his feet uritll the count of nine.

For the second year Georgia is goin' no'th aflame with the hope of beating Yale three times in succession. Two seasons ago the.BTue went South to dedicate Georgia new stadium and the Athops bulldogs chewed the New Haveh variety" to 15-0 shreds In 1930 the Crackers (this year's captain, Austin Downes, to tin the ball) ran Yale's initial kiekoff for a touchdown, finally winning the game, This Saturday, Georgia wd face Old EH about the same team which was so brilliant last year.

Bis George Earnshaw cracked the whip lash of hi fast ball, The Athletics won the fourth of the world series rames 3 to 0. And lt a dead lock at two eames eachr in one of the most spectacular battles of all time for the baseball champion ahin.

I Earnshaw held the Cardinals to a pair of hits, both made by the Irrepressible! "Pepper" Martin, sensational rookie outfielder. Oth erwise he" was Invincible with a fireball that had most of the other Red Birds in a daxe. Ifwas Martin who almost single handed' rstole" the second game of the series from Earnshaw with his spectacular base running but the big right hander permuted no Cardinal foot to reach third base this afternoon as he bore down with blinding speed on the three occasions he was threatened. "I The big sluggers of the "A emerged from their two. -day coma to knock Sylvester Johnson out of the box in the sixth Inning with an attack featured by Jimmy Foxx's terrific home run drive ovejihe left! field stands.

The world champions collected ten hits off the combined offerings of Johnson and Jim Lindsey, twice as many as they gained off Halla-ban and Grimes in two previous contests, Capacity Crowd i Yells Itself Hoarse Another capacity crowd of fans yelled itself hoarse as Earnshaw twirled the second two hit game of the series. It was more effective, though perhaps not quite so thrilling and dramatic as Burleigh Grimes' two hit victory of the day before which was marred by Al Simmons' ninth inning home run. Of the fourjgames played so tar only the first iwas; below standard in mound with bothvGrove and Derringer hit hard. Halla-han, hero of the second game triumph of the Cards, will be back on the firing line opposed probably by George Rube) Walberg, giant southpaw I of the A's who has yet to be seen in action The first and deciding run was produced in the first inning when Al Simmons hit the left field wall -with a rousing two bagger that scored Max Bishop, who had singled and idyanced to second on sacrifice by Mule Haas.

We haven't seen any done ori whether the American or National league ball was being used, bat presume the National league ball was in order at St.

Louis and the American at Philadelphia. Seems to make little difference; Grimes most have made the Athletics hopping mad, judging from 1 the way they landed on Syl Johnson et al. A thing that impresses us is the way the Philadelphia 'fans have responded to Pepper Mar-' tin's great playing. There may be a few obscure "boos" but they are drowned out in the roar of genuine applause; a lesson in sportsmanship for some people near home. FOOTBALL SCHOOL Football field generals do not always call; for a pnnt at the right time, and less frequently, we think, they call for a punt whenv they shouldn't but still more often they are criticized from the stands when i their choice was The punt is regarded too ex clusively as a defensive play in which distance is exchanged for loss of the ball, jit is also) a valuable offensive play, but te will reserve further consideration of that for a chapter on "pecjentage football." 7,.

"1 In mid field territory, punt always on fourth down if non sooner. You may think you can! make the needed yard! or so, bit the risk isn't worth I taking. jlnside the enemy's 3 5yard lin, it's sound policy to take a chance on a two or threeiyard dl stance; otherwise kick for the sideline inside the ten-yard Mine, or try a long pass which will be a fouch-back if it goes over the goal line and isn't caught.) Back of our own 25-yard line, punt on third down if not sooner, so that If the pass from center is poor or some other mishap prevents a kick, there will be another chance to boot out danger. Back of your own 15-yard line under ordinary conditions it's well to punt on first or second because It's futile to attempt to start a scoring drive in that territory. i But there are If the wind Is In your favor, punt early and often: if it's against you, pnnt late and only when necessary.

If your klckr outjkicks the or vice versa, or If one pass receiver is making long returns or muffing the! ball those things may also be taken into consideration. If your team tired, punt; if the opposition weakening, do not punt until necessary. But there a lot of truth to the old gag, doubt, punt. When In Question What happens! on a punt play? AUMSVILLE.

The1 first football game-of the season) here was played Friday when Gervais met Aumsville. The Gervais team was victorious by a score of .13 to Aumsville made a bad start, but hopes to make a good ending for tne year. CHARLIE "MET -o 7 4 3 Fine progress has been made in the Installation of the lights at Sweetland field and indications are the job will be completed early next week, according to the Eoff Electrical company which has charge of the project. v. The poles on which the lights are.

to be suspended are taller than first reports indicated. The length of the complete poles Is 75 feet and they each project 67 feet above the ground, farther than was first reported. reflectors being Installed are a late model which minimMd the glare and at the same time gives a maximum -of light. A specially prepared baked Jrcelaln surface with a mat finish accomplishes this feature. Glaring lights would handicap players, especially on high punts.

However the light all comes from the sides of the field and in such a manner that the whole field ra Illuminated without impairing the, vision of the players. Four posts are set on each side with three reflectors placed on each one. Each reflector contains two 1500 watt lamps which makes a total of 48 such lamps for the field. The amount of kilos to be used is 72 which is higher than that of other lighted fields in the state. i Reflectors had been placed on all the north posts and most of them have been placed on those on the south- side.

The light globes must still be fitted into place and a transformer built and placed by the- electric The reflectors are arranged on the. posts with one pointing straight forward and those on either side of the center one being placed on slight angles. Pass Attack Of Bearcats Improving The Willamette football squad was divided Tuesday night with Coaches, Keene Hauser and Maple taking the A group and Coaches Sparks, Ackerman and Deetz instructing the group which is composed largely of freshmen and others who show promise of developing Into first class men next season with the help of more individual, attention. Passingr was stressed in Tues day eight's practice and although the en vis did not look too brilliant at snagging passes, they at least showed ability for getting into the open and shaking their men. Williams looms as the best passer while Paul, Mahan, Frantz and Cannady also do some of the tossing.

By placing a little more attention to the position of the ball at the time of Its takeoff, some of these passers could develop into excellent aerial threat men. Most of them seem to have plenty of power and pick the free men with fair ability. A ouple of new plays were introduced during the course of practice and then slgnal'drill followed. No scrimmage was billed, as a number of the men were a-bit bruised from the heavy session of Monday night. However the linemen indulged In two.
