HAVERFORD MAKES
TRINITY HUSTLE
Holds Connecticut Eleven
to Single Touchdown i'll
Desperate Battle.
rDy Telegraph TO The Tribune

Hartford, Nov. Ilaverford stood
up before the fast Trinity eleven in
surprisingly spunky fashion this after
noon, and the local Collegians won by
the scant margin of 8 10 0. The sole
touchdown came late in the first period,
and Kinney was unable to kick the goal
from the sharp angle. Three other
times Trinity was within a few feet of
crossing the goal line, but was held
for downs by the impregnable Haver-
ford line.
The first period was a jolt for Trim
ity, which had expected al easy VIC
tory over the Pennsylvanians. Trinity
landed the ball within five yards Of
Haverfords lire aften ten minutes
play. but Haverford recovered on
downs and Ramsey punted out of
danger. Starting all over again, Coles.
Ives, Castator. Smith, Howell and Lam
bert. one after another, slowly made
first downs up the field again, and
finally Castator plunged the necessary
three feet over the line. He fumbled,
however, but Smith, who was squirm-
ing close behind him IN the scrlm-
mage, recovered the ball, which was
over the line by few inches.
The second period was characterized
by frequent penalties against Trinity
for ofside play and once for an un-
necessarily rough tackle Of Shiplcy,
who had caught beautifully executed
forward pass. Both Haverford and
Trinity began resorting TO forward
masses in the third period, but with
only slight success

ADOPTS ENGLISH RUGBY
Penn State Is Mastering New
Forms OF Play.

State College, Penn. Nov. T. Penn
State has joined Yale and Harvard in
the adoption of English Rugby foot
ball. For the remaining games on the
schedule the Canadian game will have
d prominent place in States repertory
of offensive formations.
Higgins, the freshman left end, is
the teams tutor. lie played the Cana
dian game three years before entering
Peddie Institute, where he prepared
for Penn State. His team mates were
some of the imported coaches who are
instructing Yale and Harvard IN the
perfection of the intricate latera. and
backward passes. Higgins IS al adept
at most Of the running and kicking
games. and his experience at both Rug
By and American football gives Hollen-
back an able coach.
Under the direction Of Higgins and
Hollenbacb Penn States varsity has
spent most of the week hurting III
ball 70 all corners OF the field, until
the heads OF the scrub and freshman
teams were whirling. The new and en-
tirely foreign style of play is strange
to every man on the squad, but 1t Is
being mastered rapidly.

wool grit, that he has won the place
against men who outweigh him by
many pounds. Eddie Kleinert, of Cor
nell, is regarded at Ithaca as q better
centre rush than a backfeld man. In
fact. Dan Reed said once that ne would
probably make q centre out OF him.
Kleinert is so much bigger and strong
er than "Rashie" and is equally fast,
equally game, quite as fierce IN his
play, that he is the logica! choice for
the position.
Here, then, is a team made up OF
bows who have won laurels on the foot
bail teams of this borough and Brook
lyn. 1t is realized that many OF the
local boys have gone to Western and
Southern colleges of whom there is no
record. 1t is thoroughly appreciated
that some of the students Of private
institutions which have not entered in
to competition with the public hlgh
schools have produced great football
men, and that the schools in that ter
ritory closely adjacent to New YORK
have produced their stars. The sport
ing editor of The Tribune would wei
come any letters telling Of the where
abouts of students Of the other
schools, where they are playing and
what positions they fill.

BURKHARDT WINS
AN EASY VICTORY
Novice of Bronx Church
House Romps Home in
Annual Race of c. A. l..
BIG HANDICAP MEN
FINISH IN FRONT
Mclaughlin, Another Limit Man,
Wins Second Place When
Runner Is Disqualified.

William Burkhardt. a novice runner
Of the Bronx Church House, had mat
tiers his own way in winning the annual
handicap road run Of the Church Ath-
letic League, held over the Van Cort-
landt Park course yesterday. Starting
from the 2:30 handicap mark, Burk-
hardt raced home with an advantage
OF fifteen yards in the fast time of IL
minutes lG seconds. Only one lap Of
the new trail, distance of three miles,
was covered.
Burkhardt's familiarity with the
course gave him an opportunity TO lead
his two nearest competitors almost
throughout lie was still strong at
the finish, crossing the line in a canter.
Second place was awarded 20 Harry
Mclaughlin, of the Knights of ST. An.
tony, another 2:30 limit allowance
starter, following the disqualification
of Edwin w. White, the Marathon run
ner Of the Holy Cross Lyceum. Through
an error Of the secretary Of the league
White received a teammates number
instead of his own. He was wrongfully
sent oN with the first pack of 2:30. in
stead Of going out with the 100 run
ners.
The summary follows:
