PENN BEATEN AGAIN
Lafayette Is Conqueror This
Time by Score of II to o.
THIRD DEFEAT THIS YEAR
Quakers Garry the Ball Well, But
Lost Out on Fumbles and Bad
Judgment in Off Plays.

PHILADELPHIA. October 3o.-Penn-
sylvania met defeat on the foot ball
field today for the third time this sea-
son, her conqueror this time being La
fayette. The score was II to 0. 1t was
a crushing blow for the Quakers.
Pennsylvania carried the ball about
four times as far as Lafayette. HeI
power was almost irresistible, but she
lost through fumbling and bad judg-
ment in running off plays. The Penn
sylvanians made fifteen first downs in
the game to Lafayette's four.
Lafayette scored early in the first pc
riod. when Pennsylvania fumbled and
the Easton team recovered. Lafayette,
line. Lake kicked a field goal from
Pennsylvania 36yard line. In the
second period Quarterback Berry OF
Pennsylvania fumbled a punt and
Scott of Lafayette, scooping up the ball
on the run, sprinted As yards for a
touchdown.
in the final period Bell, substituting
for Berry, also fumbled punt and La
fayette obtained the ball in midf1eid
Lafayette, falling to gain, punted for a
touchback. Then Bell punted straight
up in the air for no gain. With the
ball in Lafayette's hands, Weldon, on
Pennsylvania 25-yard line, made a
forward pass to Scott on the 5-yard
mark and the latter was over the goal
line for a touchdown before Pennsyl-
vanian could intercept him.
Pennsylvania repeatedly carried the
ball down the field for long distances
Twice they lost it on downs and sew
eral times it was lost near Lafayettes
goal on fumbles. Once Pennsylvania
had the ball on Lafayette's 3-yard mark
with one down to go. She chose to try
for touchdown with forward pass,
but Lafayette prevented a score by
spelling the throw. Twice during the
game Berry sigpaled for a free catch
with no opposing players near him. In
one of Pennsylvania's marche down
the field she had the ball on Lafay-
cites 26-yard line and lost half the
distance to her own goal when Hop
kins. Pennsylvania, was put out of the
game for smuggling. Both teams were
frequently penalized for holding.

NEW COACH At YALE
Yesterdays Game Last Under
the Present System.
SHEVLIN TO TAKE CHARGE
Former Captain and End to Try to
Instill Winning Spirit in
the Team.
sHEvLIN TO TAKE CHARGE
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The SUIT
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, October 30
Today's game with Colgate probably is
the last time the Yale foot ball team
will play under the present coaching
regime Not that the present coaching
staff is to be dispensed with, but to-
morrow Tom Shevlin is due to arrive
here and he is to have a prominent part
in the handling of the Ellis for the rest
of the season.
Whether Shevlin is to be leading
aid for Hinkey or to really take
charge Of the coaching. with the latter
stepping into subordinate position
is a matter which only those in close
touch with affairs know, but one re-
port has it that the place of chlef-ln-
command of the Yale staff OF lnstrnc-
tors is to pass from Hinkey to Sheviln.
Helped Out Before.
In 1910, when the Yale team was on
the rocks, though not as securely as
now. shevlin, star end and captain in
his day at Yale, left his business in
Minneapolis and came to the rescue on
the run. The team. it was Fred DAILY
eleven, did so well under SheVl1ns
vigorous handling and spirited methpds
that it braced tremendously. 1t peat
Princeton and tied Harvard
The general belief is that something
radical and drastic is needed and need
ed quickly il the Yale foot ball situa-
ton is to be saved from utter failure.
Shevlin is a live wire. Under him Yale
is expected to perk up.
Report also had it that George Foster
Sanford will come to Yale's help for
the rest of the season. Sanford is valu-
able as a line coach and a general pur-
veyor of pepper" and from time to
time in the past has done much to re-
vive dropping spirits at Yale.

and Intercepts Forward
Passes.

catholic University walked away with
the game at Brookland yesterday, run
ming up total of 40 points in easy
fashion on the weak Delaware College
eleven and wiping out last seasons de-
feat at the hands of the same team The
game was loosely played, and was mar
red frequently by fumbling. During the
first half both teams We're heavily
2enalized for holding and offside play.
Rogers contributed the spectacular
features of the game with his clever
oroken-feld running and frequent in
Perceptions of forward passes. Billy
Butler gained consistently on line
plunges and showed up we'll on de-
Tense. Mckinney scored the last touch
down of the game when he raced across
the line. leaping into the air and pull
ing down Billy Buffers perfect heave.
Delaware sent in a number of substi-
tutes in the final period in an endeavor
to obtain atileast ore tally. Line plung-
ing and end runs were abandoned, and
the visitors depended on the use of the
forward pass to gain ground. A few
were successful. but the majority were
either not completed or were intercept
ed by the Brooklanders.
Scores in Seven Minutes.
c. U. scored after seven minutes of
play in the first period, when w. Butler
shot pass out to right end to Lee, who
took 1t on the run and sprinted 40 yards
fol- a score. J. Butler kicked an easy
goal, making the count 10. After an
exchange of punts in the second quar-
ter, c. U. began steady march down
the field, and after Mckinney caught
Rogers pass on the 7yard line, Billy
Butler carried the pigskin across on a
plunge through left tackle. The half
ended with C. U. in possession Of the
ball on Delaware's 5-yard line.
Rogers scored in the third period
after squirming through the line for
yards. The fourth quarter opened
with the home tam holding the ball. A
tumble and several brilliant broken
field runs brought the ball within strik-
ing distance again, and Rogers shot
over the line. On the first play after
the kickoff Rogers made his third
touchdown when he intercepted a for
ward pass and distanced the visitors in
sprint to the goal line.

WINGED that he can develop Engel into

about the system which Cantillon en-
ploys in the handling of young players
that usually proves beneficial. For in

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, October 3d.
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, today saw a team of his native
state triumph over the wards of Uncle
Sans naval service on the gridiron at
the Naval Academy, when the eleven of
Agricultural and Mechanical College of
North Carolina scored a well deserved
victory over the Annapolis Midshipmen
by a score of IA to H.
Although outweighed the visitors
displayed pluck and grit and played a
mastery game all the way. They
completely outplayed the Sailors in the
first half of the game, during which
they registered two touchdowns and
were successful in both of the resultant
tries for goal. The Middies were, in
fact, fairly fortunate in scoring at ALL
They registered touchdown in each of
the two final periods One of the scores
resulted from a blocked kick, while
the other came through a tumble when
the visitors tried a triple pass.
Aggies Play Safe Game.
The Aggies with a comfortable lead,
secured in the first half. were apparent
ly satisfied to play the game safe in
the final stages, for. at no time during
the third and fourth periods did they
seriously endanger the Middies' goal
line. They put UP mastery defense
at the critical stages, once blocking
the Sailors attempt for field goal and
again smearing forward pass that
was tried as last desperate effort to
gain the coveted ground
The Carolinians practically took the
heart out of the Middies in the early
part of the first period when they I'M
corked some fast offensive tactics and
carried the leather total of 55
yards to a touchdown. Riddick making
the score on the old-time double pass

Overcoming a handicap of ten
strokes, Samuel Dalzell defeated
w. B. Mason, 4 up and 3 to go,
in the finals of the Presidents cup
golf tournament yesterday after
noon over the eighteen-hole
course of the Chevy Chase Club
Although Dalzell is playing the
best game of his golhng career
this year, his work yesterday>aft-
ernoon was of the most ordinary
caliber; but bad as he was, Mason
was worse. Had the latter
played anywhere near the game
he put up against Talcott in the
semi-final round OF the morning
he would have won easily, but
the fact that he was contesting
with one of the stars of the Dis
trict doubtless seemed to drive
all the good golf out of his sys-
tenn A high wind that swept
over the course from the north
west made the greens lightning
fast, and as Professional Sargent
remarked, while following the
match, 1T was like playing on
to plate of glass" Not once
on the fifteen holes played was
putt OF more than a yard run
down, this sensational part of the
game being entirely eliminated.
What little luck cropped up during
the match favored Dalzell, as on the
eleventh hole his ball landed on the
bridge spanning the deep run from his
tee shot and went over for a good
lie. Mason's shot landed on the green.
but ran over enough to put him up
against the hillside, with the result
that he got out poorly and lost the
hole.
In driving and approaching Dalzell
was almost perfect. going straight
nicely on his second shot and then
clubbing around for about three puts
before going down. Mason was faulty
with his drives on several of the holes
but recovered nicely with his midiron
or mashie, and then on the green was
simply awful where Dalzell was mere
ly bad Going out in 40 and SIS, re-
spectively, shows in a nutshell what
both men were doing in the way of
golf.

Shank Makes Great Run.

The next touchdown for NJ. A. c. came
in a sensational manner. After st.
Johns had scored only three more min
utes were left to play. The kick OF was
received and Shank. catching the ball
on his 2O-yard line, ran the BAH for
touchdown. 1t was brilliant bit of
work and the NJ. A. c. stands went wild.
There was very little difference In the
weight of the two teams. and the spirit
ed fight put up by ST. Johns was a
credit to it, notwithstanding its defeat.
The team from the states capital,
though, had it's fast end-running backs
smothered and thrown for losses the
majority of times, and its famed for
ward passes, though it tried about
thirty, were blocked and intercepted
continuously st. Johns completed,
only two passes out of about thirty.
Turner, Noble and Heise played bril-
liantly for St. Johns, while Oberlir.
Shank and Williams starred for M. A.
C. The defensive work of the last-men
toned player was the bright feature.
