PENN. STATE TEAM

Pittsburgh, Dec. 1.-The football
season closed here yesterday with a
victory for the University Of Pitts
urgh over Penn State by a score of 81
to 0. Only in the last quarter did the
visitors seem able to cope with the
varied attack of Pitt, and succeeded
in holding the line smashes as well as
intercepting the forward passes of the
victors.
Pitt scored nine points in the first
period, the first score being a field
goal from placement at the 12-yard
line by Andy Hastings. A little later,
on forward pass from Hastings to
Heron, the later ran 4S yards for a
touchdown. a
In the second period Hastings again
booted the ball over the goal, this
time from the 34-yard line. Two
touchdowns were scored, the first on
a run of rs yards by Hastings, and the
other on forward pass from Has
tings to Dehart, the latter running 80
yards for a score.
The last touchdown came in the
third period, and was mainly secured
through the line plunging of Gougler,
who replaced Hastings, although Nc
Laren was the one to be sent over
from tie one-yard line. Gougler
kicked goal.

CHANCE BY YANKS


New York, Dec. Tray" Cald-
well, who when he is not otherwise
engaged pitches for the Yankees, is
to be given another chance. The
Yankees have decided not to trade the
wandering one" but will give him
one more opportunity to help boost
the standing of the club in the Amer
lean league race. And for this he
will receive $4,000 a year in salary.
If he fails to keep in condition this
time-well, Opportunity gets tired
knocking at any mans door.
Caldwells contract with the New
York club calls for $4,000 per an
mum, and there is no gainsaying that
the club has been patient with him.
He has been given every chance to
mend his ways and settle down. Of
ficials of the club declare that they
do not intend to try to cut his salary
for the coming season in spite Of his
unsportsmanslike conduct last season,
when he threw down the club when
his services were needed most.
There is no denying the fact that
when Caldwell keeps in condition he
is one of the, best pitchers in the
game. He has everything that goes
to make a winning pitcher. Possibly
he has learned his lesson. If he has
he can pick up $1,000 next season.

but Washington and Jefferson tailed
six points on the free kick, a POSSIBLE

as a result Of Coach Sanford's new

Villanova for the first time since 1908,
winning IA to 7. The victory In 1908
was by a 2 to score. The score is
not representative Of Fordham's SUI
pertority over the losers, as the Ford :
ham players fell repeatedly In a clear
feid and were unable to cover ground
to receive passes owing to sea Of
mud.
Vil1anova did not rely upon the
open style Of play. The visitors used
only six passes, three OF which were
completed for a gain Of 40 yards.
Fordi1ann's rush line was battered and
rammed by the heavy visiting backs.
but not until the last part of the final
period could the visitors mako more
than one first down, They were on
tho defensive with the bail in their
