SEASON OF 154 BALL GAMES MEETS WITH GENERAL FAVOR By EDWARD F. BALINGER.

"When the major league magnates get together next week i'or the midwinter meetings, they will decide upon the date for their opening games, and the schedule-makers must arrange the playing programs accordingly. It is believed the new season will start about Thursday, April 14, and as usual, will include 151 games. The logical time for beginning the big show, would be one day earlier Jhan this, but such a date would make the opening fall upon the thirteenth day of the month, and with due regard for the feelings of baseball officials who may have superstitious inclinations, it is not likely that the first games will be plaved on the so-called yM Schedule-framing is conducted according to a system, and while thfa plan always is subject to certain changes, it has been worked out to such a fine degree that the usual course generally is followed. The Pirates commenced their championship race in Chicago in 1919. They made their initial appearance this year in St.

Louis. Accordingly, it can be guessed that they will open next spring in Cincinnati. Information from the south indicates that several exhibition frames already have been tentatively booked with the Pittsburgh team. One of these contests Is to take place in Little Jtock on April 8, ahd a few days earlier the same minor league club will appear at Hot "Springs for a brush with the Pirates. George Gibson's men expect to meet the Boston Americana at the Arkansas resort in an exhibition series which probably will tako place late in March.

Wind Up at Louisville. The last stand of the" Buccaneers before fceginn'ns their regular season, is understood to be Louisville. General Manager. William Neal, of the Coloriels, it said to have secured the promise of President Barney Dreyfuss. that the Corsairs will pay a visit to the Kentucky city at the end of their snj-itfg trip anion? the minors.

If the Pittsburgh club draws the Cincinnati opening. It -will not bo surprising if the last of the series in Louisville, is "billed for the day before the lid-llfttng, as it is a short run from the latter town to Kedland. TEAR! ROOGERS IS UITAIHEERS MOr.GANTOIVX. W. Dec.

Hut such is not the case, as Karl Davia.

Pitt's aduate manager of athletics declared last Karl says he don't anything at all about the case of Penn State and Iafayette. but that the game between Pitt and i Kned. sealed and delivered all but ayed. In fact. io Pitt go to Philadelphia and meet the Quakers on Franklin Field, as been the custom, the game comitij ca October J.

If football interferes with study, or, still worse, if study interferes with football, tbe faculty representatives of the. big ten conference universities are going I to do something about it. Just what they are going to do has not been decided. The faculty men will investigate the report of football coaches that their stars study too diligently to develop their game, and the counter contention of professors that the football men don't study enough. A report will be made at the next meeting of the conference.

All big ten teams will be numbered next year, according to a resolution adopted at the meeting here. The numbers will be eight inches high and must be easily discernible. knows the pos'tion thoroughly and at Xotre Darce is rated with the best linemen in the history of the institution.

Cou.qhlin's ionc experience this beins his th.rd year on the Notre Dame eleven is one of his best assets. He knows how to do the right thing w.th the least effort, and like Voss mixed in every play. In tbe Xoi'ihwbaiern game 't wa a frequent occurrence to see him run back of his 1 ne and tackle a Purple piayer, who had crossed the scrimmage ime on cut-bacK-in plays. He was also down the fle.d under punts and was a uatural leader. Gipp Is Great Half Back.

George Gipp. the great Notre Dame half back, is placed at right half back. This player is probably the greatest back developed at Notre Dame in years, and ranks well with the leading ball carriers ever turned out in the sec tion. There htt.c about football wh eh this player cannot do and do well. Gipp was the sensation of the Notre Dame-Army battle.

Hamcnes of Michigan Ag-g es, arood player in the posit on last year, was unable to play to form because of injuries early in the season.

JIarsh and Tyler.

Oklahoma ends, xere valuable assets to their team all season, as were of Notre Dame and Swan-son of Nebraska. Capta'n Gatz of Kansas Aggies and Bos of Mich gah Aggies, were two star periormers in tr.e tackle positions. Lane cf St. Mary's was a consistent half back, as were Barry and Mohardt of Notre Dame. An AU-Around Eleven.

The first all-western team, like the all-conference honorary eleven selected a week ago, would be fortified in all departments. pp would be delegated to do the punting and field goal kick ing. He-also would be "used to run or forward pass from punt formations. Aubrey Dev'ne would be assigned to some of tue forward hurl nsr. th Weston and Carney on the receiving endp after criss-crossing behind the defensive line.

Stinchcomb also would be used in the receiving department, and would be stationed at defensive full back when the ball was in possession of an oi- ponent. The team most certainly would be powerful on defense, and there is no sputing its ground gaining capa- oiaues. FALLER WINS A. A. U.

The magnates of the National league are inclined to believe the Americans will decide to hold their annual Decern ber session In New York, although Ban Johnson thus far, has not made an ot (liciai announcement.

5. The Buffalo i All American team met the Ai.rcn stars on the International League gridiron here today and before a crowd of 3.000 fans played a scoreless game. The field was a mas3 of mud. the game was played in an Intermittent rain and snow tlorm, made worse by a strong xnarrow-biting northwest wind. Akron appeared to play a superior game from the start and twice threatened to tcore on the Bison warriors, their nearest adversaries to the world's champion professional football title.

The visitors outplayed the Buffalo team at Bcrlinmage. making four successive first touchdowns before the first half ended. Buffalo's first and only touchdown came at the close of the third period, when Smith and Weldon succeeded in smashing through 0)6 strong Akron dfense. Buffalo came close to scoring when Smith smashed for first downs and Ak ron was penalized five yards, which placed the ball at Akron's 30-yard line. Anderson, who was slightly injured during the game with Jim Thorpe's Canton Bull Dogs in New York yesterday, passed to Hughitt and placed the ball on the visitors' 18-yard line, where the latter took It on downs.

The closo of the second period was feature! by frequent punting. Pollard, the Necro star, returned one of the Youngstroms kicks IS) yarAr-. Then Mc-Oorm ek smashed for eight and pollard made for the first down of the game. Th visitors then proceed to tmiasn the Buffalo defense going throuch Brace and Youngstrom for succorsIvo ga.p.s. Pollard and MeCormick worked the old crisM-rroas n'uiv and circled Buffalo's left end for 15 yards.

When the referee's whistle blew at the end of the first half Akron had the Buffalo on the own five-yard line. Th next excitement of the cme came near the close of the fourth period. King punted the hall from the OiVvard line to Buffalo's five-yard line Buffalo made a desperate attempt to plunge tnrough the line but ranea. Youngstrom fell back of his own goal line to mint. Wrav's pass was bad and Youngstrom fumbled the ball but Wel don recovered it on the five-yard Knc.

Anderson then gained three yard? through the line. Youncstrom then fell back en his own goal to punt and a train fumbled, when wthv made an other bad pass. He held th bll. however, on his own one-yard line, the referee having blown the whistle before the Akron linemen had thrown Youngstrom back for what would have been safety. oung.trotn made a third attempt to punt from behind his goal line, but the kick was partially blocked.

Weldon however recovered the ball for the Bison on their 28-yard line. just before the final blast of the referee's whistle ended the came.

Apprentices Threaten. The Apprentices threatened to even up matters in tlie third and fourfn per.ods having the ball within the Brad.ey lo-yard line but their offensive lacked the punch to carry them over. Penalties were frequent for holdins but distance melted out wa3 fairly even and did not benefit ether team. mainly on the overhead style of play the Duquesne claimants of the title seemed to be functioning ut of order as their passes were iil-timcd and poorly ex ecuted as little judgement as to distance was noted. Reid, their star end and considered one of best pa.s receivers in this, neck of the woods, could not get going und as a result of being boxed by the opposing backs he fai ed on all but two occasions to grab the oval as it came hurtling through the air.

On the Apprentice team the line work of Bollnian and T. Long stood out prominently, there lads being mixed in a very play. For the Eagles the fine de fensive work of Butler, Very and Mike Matiie featured. McKelvey. tu.e Apprentice back, with Gross and Graff was one of the bright spots of the contest.
