Clean Slate VERY
scarce ON The GRIDIRON

The end Of the first month Of the
football season finds few teams that
haven't been scored on. Brown
hasn't, neither has Penn State nor
Washington and Lee, Of Lexington.
Va, which eleven has the best record
OF any in total points against and by
opponents. Points by opponents are
none and against opponents 219 OF
course, the calibre of opponents has
something 60 do with the figures. but
it must be a pretty good team that
can average more than so points a
game.
Among the unusual features of this
years scoring are the figures con-
tanned in Carlisle's record. For once
more points have been against the
Indians than they have made. Nine
seasons out Of ten they are out in
front in total points in the early part
of the schedule. Generally they are
prolific point makers, but the Carlisle
scoring machine has been much out
Of gear this year. It's total points
are 80 and total for opponents 5S
The Indians have scored only once in
three of their six games and have
Leen shut out entirely IN two Of the
six All of which Is far from the
usual order for the Indians.
Harvard has outscOred such rivals
as Yale and Princeton. but in the
Crimson's first four games two
touchdowns were made by opponents
another development of the year
out Of the ordinary Yale hasn't a
clean slate. bat no touchdown has
been made on the Blue. The even
ness of Yale's scoring is noticeable.
The lowest number of points in a
game was 20. the highest, 2S The Eli
scoring game has been going along
steadily against opponents of gradu-
ally increasing strength.

81 defy Father Time" is the slogan
of one of the Olympia football stars.
Former Captain Samuel NJ. Snitcher Is
the person referred TO. Sam has been
a football warrior for the past is years.
He was first noticed as a grdiron man
while playing amateur football in Ches-
ter, where he was signed by the Penn
sylvania railroad team. He later held
down a tackle for the old Orange team.
The Imperial Club. which later was
transformed into the Olympia, also had
Sans services for several years During
his career on the gridiron Sam has sus-
tanned a broken nose ON three different
occasions, had two ribs broken. knee
cap dislocated, a sprained wrist and
many sprained ankles. For the past five
seasons Sam has been a member of the
hold outs, fearing that he had played
his best game some years hence. How
ever, as the seasons have progressed,
Sammy has always answered the roll
call
This popular veteran of the gridroG
has been carried of the field many
times, but his love for the game has
been too strong 10 resist the temptation
TO play again. Sam has captained teams
ON numerous occasions, and it is for
this reason that he is hailed by his adj
mirers as Captain Sam. Full OF the
old pep" is his war cry. When Man
ager Furman Cole sounded the call for
Olympia's first practice this season
Snitcher was not expected TO report.
However, he was there, and there 20

III Paschall team at Union street
grounds, the visitors were tearing up
the locals line with rapiditv in the first
half. The second half started with
Sam replacing one of the recruits. a
big charge was noticed in Olympia's de-
fensive work. Il is needless TO say
that Captain Sam was the man who
turned the tide
