The annual game between the Wash-Jeff freshmen and Kiski scheduled for the Kiski gridiron Saturday, was cancelled by the Washington and Jefferson au-horities tonight.

In a somewhat vague statement given out by the secretary of the council it was said that the cancellation was due to a dispute over eligibility of some of the President yearlings. It was said that Kiski had questioned the status of two or three of the vice-presidents, refusing to permit them to compete against the Saltsburg preps. The Wash-Jeff athletic council met today and declared every man on the freshman list eligible according to W. and J. rules and so informed the Kiski authorities.

When the latter refused to accept the decision of the athletic council the management was instructed to call off the game. The contest was regarded as the most important on the W. and J. freshman schedule. Last year W.

and J's yearlings defeated Kiski rather unexpectedly in a game played at Greens-burg. The Kiski team is coached by Jim Marks, former Wash-Jeff man. Colonel John Aiken is coach of the Vice-Presidents. Tony Ross Wins; Holub Beats Ames AKRON, (X, Oct. 28.

Tic scores for three years have stalemated the football teams of Minnesota and Wisconsin in their annual rivalry, and the impetus of all three thwarted victories goads each team to new heights of endeavor when they meet at Madison Saturday.

Both teams tapered off tonight with dummy scrimmage. the Badgers pleased with their newly manifested offensive power and the Gophers striving to retain the cohesion which last Saturday ironed Wabash flatter i than a dime. In the annual battle of their Univer- sity football teams the two states 1 find epitomized the rivalry in many fields of endeavor. Saturday's contest will be the thirty-tifth engagement of the teams. Wis- consin has won 14 games and Minne- sota 13.

while five have been ties. The i teams both went scoreless in 1923. each scored seven points In 1914, and a last minute offensive by Wisconsin gave the Badgers a 12-12 tie a year ago.

I i i DUKES SLIGHT FAVORITES FOR GRID GAME ON BLUFF FIELD i Score omparison Gives Locals Bit Of Edge. LARGE CROWD IS EXPECTED The Duquesne University eleven faces another big test when it meets Bethany on the Bluff this afternoon.

The game is one of the biggest of the Dukes' schedule this season and it is expected to draw a big crowd. The game is scheduled to start promptly at 3 o'clock, instead of previously announced, the Rev. John Dodwell. faculty representative, an-j nounced last night. This will give the teams more time and will prevent the game from being dragged through tin-j til darkness.

The Bethany team will not arrive here until noon, making the journey from Bethany in automobiles. HOLD FINAL DRILL. Coach McDermott gave the Dukes a light workout yesterday and then dismissed them for the day. The work was running up and down the field and about a half hour of signal drill. The Duke mentor seemed well pleased with the sessions this week and feels certain that the new combination will work well against the Bisons.

Bethany is coached by Furman Nuss. former star at W. and and is much stronger than it was last season. A omparison of scores gives the locals a slight edge, but both teams seem to be about evenly matched. Duquesne defeated Westminster, 13-0 and Bethany played the New Wilmington outfit a 7-7 draw.

Mr. Young's hidden ball are mstifmg tricks anyway. and the spectators are always expecting him to come up into the grandstand and ask for the loan cf a silk hat.

The life of a loser is still onv iof the toughest to everyone in I the world. Many can vouchsafe for among them the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Yankees and others too numerous to mention who recently have failed to uphold the opinion most persons had of them before the first bell Now, swinging into the final weeks of a most disastrous year to champions and favorites, Pitt is the target of dissatisfied thousands, whose fault- finding ranges the coaching system to the price of tickets at the stadium.

All this is within the institution.

Outside the thousands who for years have been going to Pitt games, those thousands to whom Pitt is not an Alma Mater but only the representative of a football aggregation which should be winning, are grumbling. finding fault with the 'huddle-' sys tem, criticizing the use and abuse of substitutes, as well as style of play staving away rather than pay a pror hibitive price for treats. The result; -has been that Pitt is not only goinif from week to week playing befor. meagre crowds but coming out on th" wrong end of the score. -Apparently, the only good thing Pitt has done this year, according to the fellow in the classroom, the grad in the office and the football fan Iu the street, is to let the kiddies into some of the games for 25 cents.

No Successor Is Named For Position STOCK TO BE BOUGHT BACK By EDWARD BALJLNGEIt. Fred C. Clarke's connection with the Pirates, officially as well as financially, was completely severed yesterday when his resignation from the vice presidency was accepted at a special meeting of the directors of the Pittsburgh Company and his holdings were ordered repurchased by the board. This i3 believed to be the closing chapter in the recent squabble which resulted in the release of Max Carey, Carson Bigbee and Babe Adams and was followed later by the dropping of Bill MeKechnie as manager. When Clarke was made vice president nearly a year ago, he was allowed to buy a few share sof stock to conform with legal requirements.

'This qualified him to become a director and accordingly, it was Decessary according to law for the board to act upon his resignation. After this had been duly accepted, the company itself completed arrangements to purchase the holdings from Clarke and return them to the treasury. i XO NEW DIRECTOR. No director was chosen to fill the vacancy. These matters will not be acted upon until the annual meeting is held on December 15.
