Had said as much while on a visit to Cincinnati today. "I have been throwing a shiner for three years and getting results with it," said Eller, "but that is not all I have been throwing.

I have purposely advertised my shiner by continually rubbing the ball on my trouser leg in order to cover up the best part of my pitching program. By rubbing the ball every time I got hold of it I made the batter look only for shiners. The real secret of what success I have attained had not been due to the shine ball, but to something which I intend to keep secret for the present.

Plaid Suffers Severe Blow In Loss of Quarterback Fletcher, but Has Good Substitutes On Reserve List Line, Which Has Played High-class Football All Season, Will Remain Intact for Big Test.

3. W. J. football squad had the first practice of any consequence today since the Syracuse game 10 days ago. Coach Morrow was unable all last week to work his men on account of flooded grounds, and was plainly, wor- ried by the inactivity.

Today he managed to find a fairly dry and level spot on the golf course of the Wash- ington Country Club, where he staged the final scrimmage of the week and the last one before the championship i game with Pitt next Saturday. The varsity was sent into the fray with the scrubs, as it will go against the Panthers, as follows: Left end, Capt. Carroll: left tackle, Stein; left guard, Bovill; center, Shields; right guard. Straw; right tackle, Garbiach; right end, Loucks; quarterback, Bixler; left halfback, Erickson; right halfback, iaelson; fullback. Smith.

The strictest secrecy was maintained in today's work. Not a soul was permitted on the golf course and student guards kept everyone away from the vicinity of the club grounds while Morrow tried out his team in plays designed especially for Pitt. Bovill made his first appearance on the team as a guard and showed adaptability. He worked like a Trojan, and Stein, who played beside him, said he was confident he would be able to fill the bill Saturday. The varsity worked the new plays, as well as the old formations, with accuracy and preCjSj0n team play, in spite of seat ticket for it has been available for public purchase at any time, and it has been announced for several days that the supply of reserved seats has been completely exhausted.

WASHINGTON, Nov.

3. (Special.) Speculation in tickets for the wash-Jeff-Pitt football game in Pittsburgh next Saturday i3 reported here. One man who bought a box for $16 ia said to have sold it for $100, while the purchaser disposed of it for $135. Manager John H. Murdoch, of the Wr.

J. team, who had charge of the sale here, took drastic precautions to avoid scalping, but partially. It is alleged, to no effect. when WashJeff defeated Syra aner aj-racuw uu it was a foregone conclusion that the emanj jor seats for the Pitt-W. J- meeti would be reCord-breakmg, and the aurani allotment might have i students tuid alumni, and the public has a real grievance over the manner in which the tickets for Saturday's game were handled.

Such stuff has been worked time and time again in world's series, but it is a bit new for football, especially in this section. So far as the public is concerned, it has every reason in the world to cry out against the outrag-eousness of its treatment, and to demand a squarer deal in the future or quit patronizing Pitt games; and it is our opinion that an immediate non-alibi explanation of the ticket situation by Pitt is in order. No practice was held by the Pitt gridders at Forbes Field yesterday, but a workout is slated for today. State Team Rests After Great Feat Special, Telegram to The Gazette Times STATE COLLEGE, Nov. 3.

Coach Bezdek gave his Blue and White eleven more or less of a rest this afternoon as a reward for their great work against Penn last Saturday. Signal drill occupied the most of the coaches' time and the mistakes of the game were all pointed out. With the exception of Way's sore shoulder, all of the men are in good condition. Tomorrow work wil begin in earnest for the Lehigh game on Pennsylvania Day, for Penn State players and coaches" are not underestimating the strength of the Brown and White eleven. The.

work of the Blue and White line at Penn was particularly pleasing to Coach Bezdek, as the line has been the big problem thus far. Conover, seems to have found himself, and. he should prove to be a match for any rival center. Rauch and Osborn, the two guards, have solved the problem, also, while Henry will probably continue to pair off with Ben Cubbage at tackles. The work of Dutch Brown at left end was a revelation, while Higgins gave one of the greatest exhibitions of his career.

He had never before punted in a game, yet he completely outdistanced both Brunner and BelL Classes ran along as usual today, but the students celebrated the victory over Penn with a huge bonfire and parade tonight.

He stalled for awhile and Mealey smiled and was still as cool as before he cut loose. Mickey recovered and, with Mood streaming down his face and his left eye almost completely closed, was fighting back hard again at the bell.

Mickev was fighting again shortly, but it was through the kindness of Mealey, who jdid not appear over-eager to knock him out. Johnny merely bided his jtime, defended himself from Mickey's jlunges and -swings and occasionally jabbed. Mealey Lett Up. I It was the same story in the tenth -'eu ms aeamy rigni again nau lie wanted to, but he refrained.

He had the fight safely under his, belt and was satisfied. Mealey's showing in the early rounds was "anything but impressive, and the spectators began to wonder why he was not using his right hand. His plan of battle unfolded itself later, however, and though he used his right effectively just twice in the entire bout he won with these two blows. He simply left-handed Mickey into believing he did not have a right, and then, when he had Mickey all set, he got in the damaging work. It was a good bout, all things considered, and so were the prelims good.

Mickey proved a big drawing card and brought out the best house of the season to date on the South Side. The first nnd fourth rounds were even, and Mickey had a good margin in the second and smaller ones in the sixth, seventh and tenth. Mealey had a fairly large lead in the third, a smaller one in the fifth, and the eighth and ninth were his by the proverbial mile. Irish Chick Rodgers staked Eddie Burr to 15 pounds advantage in weight and won over him by a shade in the semi-final. Johnny Welsh outfought Tommy Stevenson of Hazel wood in the second bout, but was unable to put him out, thus ending his long knockout streak.

Stevenson gave Welsh a little better than he received in the fourth round and part of the fifth and for a time had the better of the going. However, Welsh was far the fresher in the final round and had his mah covering up and holding. Jackie Fromme ran out of his match with Buster Brown in the opener and the latter took on and shaded Young Bodell, who had a weight advantage. Joe Keally refereed and gave satisfaction in all bouts.

Presenting Fine Suit Values Far Beyotid The Ordinary In CHEAUM AT AN INTERESTING PRICE IN THESE DAYS out. "Scalping" Certain. It is not likely that any large number of tickets have found their way into the hands of professional speculators, but there is certain to be considerable "scarping" on Saturday's game, nevertheless. For whatever speculation there is, the blame must fan upon the students and the alumni of Pitt and W. for the reserved seat tickets have gone nowhere ele.

unless some few of the Wash-Jeff supply found their way to the townspeople there. There was more or less speculation on the Pitt-Georgia Tecli game a week ago last Saturday. One man plied his trade immediately outside one of the entrances. He had 20 or more tickets and demanded $3 for $1.50 seats until nearly game time, 'When he disposed of what he had left for $3 each, exactly twice their face value. The Pitt authorities may claim that It is not their fault that the supply of tickets for the Wash-Jeff game did not reach around, but that is no excuse for not placing some reserved seat tickets on sale at the usual agen- 249 Rfth Avenue.

A prominent local attorney, who asks that his name be withheld for obvious reasons, writes as follows: My Dear Mr. Keck: I do not usually out In mfPllnR, but I cannot refrain on this occasion. I write you because yours Is the most widely read Plttsbursh sporting? pagrc.

I am a graduate of both W. A J. and the Vnivcrslty of Pittsburgh, and am keenly Interested in the welfare of I he schools, and Incidentally, In their athletic standing. Although I was in the service I understand that last year there was not much of a football championship and that colleges supported teams merely for the upkeep of the sport. I understand that Pitt waived the freshman rule and gte some excellent players a year seasoning.

I am told that V. J. maintained a team only as part If its military training corps. If these are the facts and It Is further true that throughout the country colleges have agreed to discount the military teams of last year, it seems like the act of a cheap sport for the gentlemen in charge of Pltt'a athletics to take the position they do In regard to Henry, the best player on the W. J.

team and the best tackle In the country. I think they ought to be unmercifully for saying, '-We won't play if Henry plays," and I think you ought to do it. ANOTHER LETTER. Another reader writes as follows: It is line stuff for Pitt to Issue an ultimatum to Wash-Jen stating that it cannot play Henry, when Wash-Jeff's stand In the ease is backed up by nearly every other college and university and body of colleges In the country I don't think! If I were connected with the Wash-Jeff. athletic body, I would either insist upon playing Henry, or else I would agree to keep blm out of the game, and, since Pitt feels that way about it, I would not use any of my other rrgulnrs, either.

I would send In my entire scrub team and let Pitt heat 'cm 100 to if that would give Pitt any satisfaction. I am not a Pitt graduate. Neither am I a Wash-Jeff man. I come from tbe West and have no Interest In cither school excepting that I think Wash-Jeff has a moral and every other right to play Henry and that Pitt Is acting entirely too much like the so-called Big Three of the East In Imposing Its demands and "beliefs upon the smaller college. This Is the honest opinion of an Innocent Bystander and I wish you would print it la your valuable colnmn for what it is worth.
