SOCCER GAINING
in POPULARITY
ON THIS SIDE

English Pastime Here
LOCAL TEAMS STRONG

Proof Of the popularity OF soccer in
Philadelphia at least was forthcoming last
Saturday when nearly 1000 players were
actively engaged in the game II has
been said up to the present Americans
have not taken up the game with any
great enthusiasm. and that IL is mostly
played by Englshmen. This was true a
Few years ago. but It is not the case now.
At least so per cent. of those taking
part In the game in the city and vicinity
last Saturday were Americans and not
hyphenated ones at that Now that the
schools and colleges are taking up the
game, II is bound to forge ahead.
1t was 20 years before soccer attained
its great popularity in England, and 10
years from now II should be one OF Amer
ica's national games, judging from the
strides II is making.
Haverford College defeated vincome by
the odd goal In three on Vincome's
grounds after Vincome had led In the
first half by goal to O. The collegians
proved that they are in fine condition
thus early in the season and kept going
at top speed to the finish. Only in the
last 10 minutes did Haverford obtain the
upper hand, Crosman scoring a couple OF
clever goals within this time II was a
good performance to defeat team OF
the strength Of Vincome away from home.
The Victor Talking Machine Company
will have reason to remember its EN-
counters with Disston and Bethlehem. To
be beaten by 10 goals to on one Satur-
day and 10 TO on the next is not a very
pleasant experience. although IL served
TO show that the Camdenites are good
losers The one fault with the American
League is that 1t is lopsided. There are
only three teams in the league-Bethle-
hem, Disston and the Hibernians-that
have any possible chance of winning the
championship, with the odds decidedly
in favor of Bethlehem

suits.
Yet there Is already strong evidence
that he is exactly the man that Prince
ton has been looking for. Judged by
what he has shown so far Rush is a
machine builder OF the winning type He
seems to know the proper combination of
defense and attack, giving defense the
preference early in the season, as any
hrst-class coach should always do.
A fine attack is of no particular value
with defense that permits the other
eleven to retain possession of the ball
You can't gain an excessive amount OF
ground as long as rival backs are plung-
ing through your line and circling your
ends. Rush so far has constructed an
admirable october machine If the ex-
pected improvement continues into the

a fair chance of repeating her 1911 pro-
