Oct. 27. In a snappy and open game today he Blue and Gold warriors of 'i'hiel College outgineraled the Salem College team Irom West Virginia and by a 14-6 score. Forward passes netted long gains for both teams. Neither team scored in the first quarter.

The ice was broken in the second quarter when Christman uraboeo a forward pass from McCoy the L'fi-yard line and ran for a touchdown. In the thiril quarter Zumlei. Thiei's fleet halfback, carried a forward pass yards to the ono-jard line, and then McCoy carried the ball over for another six points. Salem scored in the last quarter, when Hardman, unuer tne shadow of his own goal, received a short pass and dodged his way through the Thiel backs for a touchdown. The ball had been touched by a Thiel man.

but Hardman grabbed it before it was grounded. Thiei's new lineup proved to be an excellent combination. Zundel, a new man from Greenville High proved to bf the outstanding star of the game This light, wiry back ran rings around the entire Salem team, and made his own interference stsp to ket-p out of his way.

Oct. 27. With the iast rehearsals over, the -stage was set tonight for the biggest football classic in Chicago's history tomorrow, when Princeton meets Chicago in an intersectional contest that promises to attract the attention of the gridiron world. The 32,000 people holding tickets for the game were eagerly awaiting the referee's whistle that will start the hostilities, while iess fortunate folk were making frantic last-minute efforts to obtain tickets and were offering any price up to $100 for a seat costing $3. Demand for tickets to the game has reached an unprecedented proportion.

Although every seat in Stagg Field was sold days ago, thousands of disappointed applicants for tickets deluged the offices with requests. Bank presidents, brokers, society leaders and captains of industry sent messengers out with instructions to buy seats at any cost. Several arrests of scalpers were made and officials at the university seemed satisfied with their efforts to stop the practice of selling tickets for many times their face value. Tigers Practice in Seclusion. The invading Tigers swung into action behind locked, gates on Stagg Field for a final light signal drill shortly after their arrival.

When the squad reached the field, the gates were locked and no outsiders were allowed to witness the workout. After the Tigers finished, the Maroons, under the direction of Coach Stagg. went through their final drill. The Maroons also worked out behind locked gates. Numerous plays, which the Maroons have been developing for Princeton.

I were rehearsed and the general be-j lief prevails that a surprise will be I sprung tomorrow by Coach Alonzo HUSKY 9 back, supplanting Marsh Johnson, who took hid place for a few games, and Anderson will be at right half, as usual. Hewitt, in view of his great playing at Syracuse, will get the call over Colonna at fullback at the start of the game. Jordan and Williams will be at the ends, Gour-ley and Fredette at the tackles and Clark and Sack at guards, as at the start of the Syracuse game, while Bowser will be in at center. Bowser and Shuler alone will confer on plays. Aerial Play Promised.

The Bucknell lineup will be the strongest Coach Reynolds can muster and will be a composite of the teams that started against Navy and Lafayette.

The weather forecast is for a clear, cool day and the gridiron is in good shape, assuring the best of playing conditions. In meeting Grove Tech takes on the strongest Class college team in Western Pennsylvania.

Coach Chalky Williamson, former Pitt star quarterback, has a great wealth of material and a husky, fast team. He will make the extend themselves to win, and stands an outside chance of winning himself if he should be able to throw the Plaid off their stride. Both'Grove City and Bucknell are adept at the forward-passing game, and it is likely that the spectators at each of these garner will see a sparkling exhibition of the overhead attack. Bucknell Has Punch. Some idea of the threat the Bucknell squad carries to Pittsburgh with it may, be gained from the fact that it has scored at least one touchdown in very one of its five games to date.

Mansfield Normal School, Alfred University and Susquehanna were snowed under in the first three games, by-scores, respectively, of 61-0, 41-0 and 51-0, and then Navy was held to a 14-7 score and Lafayette to 2S-7. The only common foe of Pitt and Bin-knell so far has ben Lafayette. The Maroon and White was just able to beat Pitt. 7-0. and thatr touchdown came from a Pitt fumble which a Lafayette nu.n recovered and converted into a touchdown.

Pitt has plenty to try to get revenge for in playing Bucknell. The last two games between teams of the institutions were played here in 1912 and 1913. and Bucknell won both of them, the former by K-0, when Jordan caught a forward pass from Cruik-shank and went over the goal line in the final moments of play, and the latter. 9-0. In 1913, Pitt defeated Cornell.

There the quests will have a chance to meet thletic Director Bob Thorn and Coach Williamson. A dinner dance at the South Hills Country Club will follow the game.

Xit-tany will try to keep unsullied a record that has not been stained by defeat since that day. The Orangemen of Syracuse University will take their stand before the Blue and White's mauling foot-ballists, and although thoy are expected to give stern resistance, odds arc decidedly in favor of the Bez-dekian horde. It is the first big game of the season for fans here and the sale of tickets is reported unusually heavy by Jim Tiernuy, secretary of the New York National League baseball club, which is handling the e'ontest. Ever since that chilling afternoon last fall when Penn State, and particularly the brilliant Glenn Killinger. trampled underfoot the great Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech there has been a demand to bring the l'enn-sylvanians here for another performance.

No more blood-curdling football has ever been seen 'neath Coogan's Bluff than State offered in that game, and it made a lasting impression on the local followers of the sport. Orange's Record Mediocre. Unfortunately, the upper New Tork staters cannot lay claim to a record as bright as State's. A tie with Brown and a setback at the hands of the Pitt Panther have been the lot of Chick Mechan this ear. and as a result the Orange is not being given serious consideration as a topnotcher.

They will meet a company of stalwarts who w-Il battle them' to the last ditch before surrendering. Not that State should be regarded as a prohibitive favorite. Too often has Old Man Fate taken a hand in the settlement of a gridiron feud such as will be settled tomorrow, to warrant taking a positive stand on the final result. But comparison of the teams gives Penn State an advantage that only the vicissitudes of the game can alter. Syracuse Battle-Broken.

The Orange will have one advantage that should not be discounted in that Capt. Culver and his men have already smelled the smoke of two torrid engagements while the Lions have yet lo be put to the acid test. Brown and Pittsburgh the Salt City fighters back to the wall. The Meehanites know what it is to battle underdogs. State does not.

St. Bonaventure, William and Mary, Gettysburg, Lebanon Valley and Middlebury have been unable to bring out the best in the mountain collegians. Neither State nor Syracuse spent the night in the city. Both squads were taken to nearby country clubs where they could test and absorb the lust for combat which Bezdck and Meehan will pump into them. imittM lit I1IHM tilt 111 tllllltl I PRINCETON-CHICAGO LINEUP I'rineetou 5 lira i l'reat position K.

The Tigers, after th'ir workout, were full of confidence, but not overconfident.

"We realize tha.t we have a hard game, but we are out to win despite all opposition," said Coach Bill Iloper of the Tigers. "We believe we have an even chance for victory and that we have a stronger team than the one that faced Chicago last year." Coach Stagg declined to predict a Chicago victory, saying: "The game should result in a hard, clean contest.

Big Ten followers also have their eyes trained on Ann Arbor, where the powerful Michigan eleven will engage Illinois.

T.131 mi i 3 LOCAL, gridiron followers have two collegiate games of mora than passing importance to choose between this afternoon Pitt's tussle with Bucknell College of Lewisburg, and Carnegie Tech's engagement with Grove City College of Grove City, Pa.

Both opponents of the local elevens have teams that are stronger than they normally boast, and, although the Pittsburgh teams are expected to emerge on the long end in each contest, such a re-stilt is by no means certain. The Pitt game, of course, will be staged at Forbes Field and the Tech tangle at Tech Field. Kickoff for each will be at 3 o'clock. The Pitt-Eucknell game marks the resumption of football relations between the two institutions after a break since 1913. In fact, this is the first meeting of the two temples of learning on the gridiron since Pitt has come to the top in the sport.

Under their home-and-home agreement, Pitt will play at Lewisburg next fall and will be given the honor of acting as Bucknell's foe in the game which will dedicate the new stadium of the Orange and Blue. Today's game is a big one for Bucknell. The Western Pennsylvania alumni body of the college has worked np the occasion in grand ftyleand has arranged to attend the game in a body and hold a big dinner dance this evening at the Hotel Schenly, which is the Bucknell squad's headquarters while here. The Bucknell party arrived yesterday morning and indulged in a rief workout in the afternoon. A crowd fully as large as those that turned out for the game with Lafi-yette and "West Virginia is expected to see the Panthers mingle with Bucknell.

In addition to the many Bucknell alumni who have gathered or will gather today. 300 students wili arrive here this morning from accompanied by the college band, and the Pitt enthusiasts and. general run of local football fans also will be out in force. Bowser at Center. Pitt should win from Bucknell, but not without a real struggle.

The Lewishurgers have just come through two toueh games, wirh Navy, in which the Middies were held to a 14-7 score, and with Iafayette, which won from Bucknell, 28-7. These two games un-f doubtedly took a lot out of Bucknell, but it is possible that Coach Pete Reynolds held something in reserve last week, with the idea of catching Pitt napping, for the Pitt game is considered the most important on Bucknell's schedule this fall. The visitors report themselves in great shape for the contest this afternoon. Pitt, for Its part, also is fit. The Panthers found themselves in the Syracuse battle at Syracuse last Saturday and the victory over the Orange has put a brand new confidence into the aggregation.

Coach Warner also is in physical shape to run things again, and he supervised the final workouts for today's game. The Panthers will not be caught afdeep at the switch. They are alive to the fact that Bucknell has one of the strongest teams in the East, and they look for one of the hardest games of the season and will not take victory for granted until the final whistle blows and the scoreboard shows them on the winning end. There will not be any radical shifts in the Pitt lineup. Acting Capt.

Bowser ill be back at center, whereas he started at quarterback against Syracuse, and Nick Shuler will be. at quarter. Shuler is worthy of the chance to show his mettle. It wiH be remembered that it was his great return of a punt that enabled Pitt to score against We.st Virginia, and it was also his tint stop of Bowman.
