GEORGETOWN Props Down Western.

In a practice contest on the George
town Prep Field yesterday the Blue and
Gray youngsters lowered the Red and
White of Western High to the tune of
IL to 0. The game was holly contested
throughout and the men played we'll as
individuals. but did not seem to run so
evenly az teams. Connolly and Kerwin
made the touchdowns. Wieser kicked his
goal. but Kerwin did not make such good
use of his chance. The Props worked
the forward pass to perfection. and Ker-
win as a passer in this play is a peach.
Western was especially strong on break
ing I'D end runs and off-tackle drives. but
did not seem 10 be able to pile up the
straight ,inc bucks of the Props. 4 crowd
of 300 enthusiastic supporters from both
schools was present 20 help their. grid

HANLON'S GAME FIGHT
AGAINST OWEN MORAN.

SAN FRANCISCO. October L.
Owen Moran won close decision
over Eddie Hanlon last night in a
battle which went the scheduled
twenty rounds and was distinguish
ed by savage fighting up to the last
tap of the gong. Hanlon made a
surprising showing. although he re-.
ceived an awful beating. He forced
all the fighting. but lacked the
punch which would have made his
tactics worth while. Moran was a
two-to-one favorite. and many bets
were made at the ringside that
Hanlon would not last fiftee6
rounds.
The fight started with Moran TAX
ing a decided lead in reaching his
opponent. but as soon as Hanlon
warmed up he pressed his antag-
onist. boring in relentlessly. and In
so doing receiving an unmerciful
fiogging. Moran worked at dis
advantage under these conditions
and found it impossible to keep
from backing away.
From the thirteenth round to the
end of the mill HaniOn seemed to
renew his energy. and it looked for
a while. as II the California lad
would eoualize the showing and
save himself with draw. But
Moran closed the battle strong. and
Referee Eddie Smith awarded him
the decision.

PHILADELPHIA. October 1.-Pennsyl-

score of 20 to q. in the second game Of
the foot ball season. 1t was very easy
game for the Red and Blue and il proved
to be a good practice game for the sub

there was not man on the Pennsylvania
team who had started in the game.
While the regulars were in the game the
scoring was fast. but in the second half
when mostly substitutes were at work.
the teams were nearly even up in playing
strength.
The Crsinus team was not strong
enough to show how much Improvement
Pennsylvania had made since last Sat
urday. but the game brought out the fact
that Pennsylvania work is still very
ragged, the team getting itself in bad

the Crimson did against the same oppo-

downs against Wesleyan in the drst half
and none In the second. When the first
string Ellis were playing in the first half
the Blue did as we'll as could be expected
SO early in the season. but there was
rather q far cry between the work of
the first string men and the substitutes.
Yale's line defense was strong and her
tackling hard. There was evidence Of
fundamental experiences. and also crudities
not altogether pleasing to the coaches.
Yale made nine less points against Wes-
leyan than q year ago.
Pennsylvania beat Crsinus easily enough.
though scoring only once In the second
half The substitutes there, as at New
