PENN STATE TIES
BUT FAILS TO WIN
Harvard Expected Hard Battle
and Got 1t, Says Coach
Haughton, of Crimson.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 25.-"We
expected nothing less than tough bat
tie. We got it. Harvard went through
a gruelling game, and. although tied,
was not defeated. Our first string back
field was out of the game" This is
Coach Haughtons comment on the 13-
to-13 score made in Yesterdays Penn
State-Harvard battle.
Harvard was lucky to get an even
break as two costly fumbles robbed
Penn state of what chance il had for
a win. The Crimson subs were hustled
about the field, scored on by Penn State
in the first minutes of play, and were
treated to a goal from the field by To-
bin, penn State halfback. Another
dropkick bv Lamb gave Penn state its
other points.
The lateral pass executed by Harvard
for forty yards and touchdown gave
the Crimson a chance to even up in the
last stages of the game, Wilcox proving
to be the hero Of the attack. & Cool
idge scored Harvard's other touchdown
while WithngtOn's goal after touch
down tied up the game.
Harvard was surprised by tho Penn
State players. who put up 2 steady
ground gaining brand of football. Penn
State rushed fifty-four times for Ir3
yards, while Harvard made but ninety
five yards in seVenty-tWO rushes.

Slim Sallee as he Is known to all
the fans is a pitcher that has few If
any equal. He puts one more in mind
of Mathew than any man in the
business He never hurries his work
and never tries TO fan the batter and
appears 10 have that don t-care way
until a hit IS needed to bring home a
run, then he just lets out few extra
kinks and il is seldom the batter con-
meets for a hit
SaIIee Is one Of the tallest men in
the game and his extreme height is
all to his advantage for his overhead
delivery is very hard to hit. He has
excellent control and knows every
minute what to do while on the rubber.
With a team up in the first division he
would be about as much talked of as
any pitcher in the game. but being with
rank tail ender until the present sea-
son his good work has gone unnoticed.
Against such teams as the Giants and
Cubs he is almost invincible for the
batpers on both teams, say: THAT guy

Virginia Captain Makes His

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Oct. %

that will stand for some time in the

Virginia's attack was strong, and the

a strong team with which our State
University's team will play.
Why?
This condition of affairs naturally eX-
cites the question. 1t is condition
which creates comment and causes criti-
cism of a nature which Is embarrassing
to friends of the University of Virginia.
Why should the team of the Uni
versity of Virginia be sent all over
the country, playing elevens from
Northern schools far outclassinS ours
and playing teams from little local
fresh water colleges North and South,
known to be too weak to score against
the Virginians. when right at home. on
the soil of Virginia. there are schools
who have teams eager to meet the State
University's team?
The fact that the University at Char
lottesville is a State institution, sup
ported by Legislative appropriations of
the money of the taxpayers of Virginia,
should carry with it more sense of OBJ
legation and doubtless does. We who
love the fine. manly sport of college foot
ball would like to see this sense of OBJ
legation extended to the field of college
athletics. 1t would make for good sport
II would save friends of the University
of Virginia from the humiliation of do

AGG|ES TAKE STEP
FOR STATE TITLE
Defeat Hopkins and Try Against
St. Johns at Annapolis on
Tuesday Again.

The Maryland Aggies are a step nearer
the State title today, having. not only
defeated Johns Hopkins, of Baltimore,
by a l-to-0 score. but kept the Black
and Blue players from scoring on them
in five years.
The game, played on Homewood Field,
in Baltimore, found the Aggies pitted
against team which lost it's pep in the
first quarter on account of an inability
to push the ball across for touchdowns.
Stout defense on the very brink of the
goal line on three separate occasions in
the first quarter proved the Aggies mas
tiers of the situation.
Oberlin and Bowland, the Aggies'
tackles, proved too strong for the Hop
kins line. and smashed plays directed at
them with comparative ease. When
Hopkins tried the forward passing game
the secondary defense smothered the
play.
Poor generalship in two cases cost
Hopkins a chance at possible tie.
Electing to run the ball two yards when
well within Hopkins territory on the
fourth down instead of punting lost the
ball to the Aggies, who showed 1t over
in five rushes. Toward the close of
the game an intercepted forward pass
by Derrick gave the Aggies their other
score.
In speed, execution of plays, and
stamina, the Aggies proved concIusively
that they We're masters of the Hop
kins men. Jack Gates, the Yale coach
of the Hopkins team, was disappointed
at the showing of his players, but con-
ceded the superiority of the Aggie5.
St Johns College, of Annapolis, will
be played by NJ. A. c. on Tuesday after
noon.

GAME
SHOULD Be FAST

votaries of Independent football ara
today prepared to see one of the fast
est gridiron battles which has been af-
forded them in many seasons when the
Vigilants line up against the fast trav-
cling Altoona ex-Indians, a tribe OF
former Carlisle stars, which has cut
wide swath wherever it has played in
the past three years.
Should Joe Oliveri get away with To-
days contest, he will add one of the
most distinct honors to the Vigilants'
football history that that organization
has known, for these Indians are for
midable gang. and 1t is nothing short of
daring to take them on so early in the
season.
Ray Brown has sent the Vigilants
through the hardest course of practices
that has ever been effected in prepara-
ton for any visiting team. Every man
in the Big V formation knows that he
is up against an opponent in the Indian
team who has had the benefit of the
best coaching in the land, that of Glenn
Warner, and the slogan today will be
Get your man. The game starts at
8 O'Clock, a good preliminary game hav-
ing been booked to end few minutes
before that time.

chief honor for the victory. His
