0LIPHANT LEADS
ARMY TO VICTORY
Makes Two Seventy-Yard
Runs for TOuChdOWns
Against Maine.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

West Point, n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
Army football team defeated Maine
here to-day, by a score of % TO O, in
game which during the first two quar-
tiers was lis:,ess and uninteresting.
Not until the second half did the
Army's offensive develop, and then, led
by Oliphsnt and McEwan, the Cadets
woke up TO their game and played some
sensational football. The Army started
the game with every position except
centre filed by substitute. McEwan,
who had done nothing for practically
month, was the only regular in the
lineup at the kickoff.
Oliphant was shunted to quarter,
where he played most of the game,
Captain Prichard resting on the side
lines. The former Purdue star was
conspicuous throughout the fray, scor-
ing three of the Army's touchdowns
and aiding materially in the other by
tossing q pretty pass for thirty yards
into Tully's outstretched arms. He
kicked the four goals.
In the last quarter 0liphant. aided
by the fine interference of McEwan,
twice dashed seventy yards for touch
downs. The first one was made when
ne caught punt on his own 30-yard
line and ran the rest of the distance 70
the goal line. The other came a mo-
ment later, when he skirted Reardon's
end for another long run from a fake
kick formation, McEwan going through
TO the finish with the elusive little star
and taking man after man out Of the

Commerce ROutS Manual
GridirOn Jinx with Tie

belonged to Commerce at the end. In
the first half the Brooklyn lads made
seven first downs by straight rushing
70 three for Commerce. In the last
half the Orange and Blue piled on seven
first downs on rushing TO three for
Manual.
In the open play Commerce excelled.
Seven forward passes were attempted
four worked for a gain of thirty-two
yards. Manual tried eight, of which
one worked for gain of eight yards.
One of Manuals passes almost resulted
in disaster. for Hal Wittner grabbed it
and carried it back forty yards. and
was clear when the fleet footed Ed
Feuerstein nailed him from behind.
There were stars IN that game of the
schoolboys, stars which shone brightly.
Feuerstein was a terror 10 the Com
merce team. He had little trouble in
ou.running the opposing linemen, and
made the best use of his advantage
Caminez and Titus also played well and
hit the line hard. Weller, the Brook
Ign captain, was power on the de-
fence. For Commerce Hal Wittner
played the game of his life. He chose
his plays well, and ran with the ball
in remarkable style. He had a mate in
Captain Clapp, who played as captains
should play.

MORRIS HIGH WINS
BY NARROW MARGIN
Only Score Against Gin
ton Is ErWin's Goal
from Field.

De Witt Clinton High Schools foot
ball eleven dipped its colors to Morris
High School at Manhattan Field yes
terday afternoon. More properly, it
might be said that Clinton was van
ouished by the cunning toe and strong
right leg of big Bill Erwig, halfback
extraordinary Of the Maroon and White
team. The score was TO 0, and Err
wig kicked the goal. 1t was n gripping
battle Of the gridiron, and when the
elevens left the field there were few
willing TO say that the score told the
full story.
1t was late in the third period that
Erwig made his effort, which was made
POSSIBLE by his own 25-yard run around
the right end TO the 20-yard line. Tom
Manley, the Morris captain, realized
that il was "now or never for his
team. and he called for a place kick.
Dropping back to the 2S-yard line,
Manlev took perfect pass from
Treanor and placed it in position. En-
WIG swung fair and true to the mark,
while the Maroon line held firm against
tho charging Clinton forwards.
The ball sailed gracefully up and
over the line, cleared the goal posts
with some feet to spare, and right then
and there the issue was decided.
In the first period Clinton took the
hall and. throwing a speedy, bewilder-
ing attack at the Morris eleven, pl laced
il ON the 5-yard line with first down.
Then the Morris team knit tight its
defence. and after four laundering
charges the leather had advanced only
three yards The Maroon punted out
of danger

He Left the Book

He reached for the book and laid
it on his knees, but after riding three
blocks more he worked 1t behind him
again and became interested in the
woman opposite. The first thing ne
knew he was carried block past his
corner. He suddenly started up and
skipped out, and as he went the man
who had been talking to him reached
back for the book and chuckled:
Told him he'd leave it behind and
I'd take 1t homel'
But the book wasn't there. The
woman beside him had already COB
bled it, and as it rested on her lap she
stared straight out Of the opposite
window and never moved a muscle
when he growled out:
