SPEED-UP PRACTICE
FOR BUCKNELL GAME

State College, Pa, Sept. So.-Looking to-
ward the Bucknell contest as the first
real test Of the season, Penn States foot
ball powers this week speeded up the
attack, stiffened the defense and increas-
ed the repertoire Of plays. While no elab-
crate preparations are being made to en-
tertain the Orange and BLUE cohorts,
States eleven Is getting ready for an in
teresting afternoon.
During the last week Coach Harlow
has clung persistently to his policy of a
gradual development toward the Thanks
giving Day game with the University Of
Pittsburgh. Only two scrirumages were
held between the susquehanna and the
Westminster contests. and this set pro-
gram is prescribed for the rest Of the sea-
son. Harlow doesn't believe IN over
working his men, and he points to the
superb condition of the eleven throughout
last year when State went through the
complete schedule OF nine games without
a minute OF time being taken out for in
turies, as Justification for his nght-work
campaign.

and planted the ball within scoring dis

the next rush produced the touchdown.
Harvard started again on a big drive

Bates punt on the twenty-yard line and
downed the ball within two yards of the
goal Thacher went over for the touch
down. When the second half opened a
new backfeld was introduced.
Casey. Horween, and Burnham did the
rushing. Casey was indomitable on
his end runs, often dragging along two
or three tacklers. The substitutes worked
the ball to the twenty-two-yard mark
mainly through Casey's running and
Murray. the quarter back. put the finish
ing touches on this impressive march by
travelling around the end for twenty-five
yards and scoring q touchdown at the

LEVINSKY CLAIMS
THE WORLDS TITLE

Battling Levinsky. who has whipped
every heavyweight in the world, in
cluding Jack Dillon. Is now ready to
defend the worlds title against all
comers.
Jess Willard, who now weighs
nearly 800 pounds, is considered a cir
Gus freak and not a champion and that
means that Battling Levinsky, who
has whipped every heavyweight, is
entitled to call himself the heavy
weight champion.
Levinsky is ready at all times to
box either white or black, and that
means that he will be without doubt
one of the most popular champions
that ever lived. He stands ready to
box thirty or forty times a year and he
don't want $4,000 guarantees. The
public always get their moneys worth

HAPPY PARKER OUT
WITH Def TO TURNER

Happy" Parker. who wrestled Joe
Turner last Tuesday night at the Lyceum
Theater. only to be thrown twice by the
local boy, has registered a kick, claiming
that he had Turner's shoulders to the
mat before the final fall but Referee
O'Connor failed to see the fall. Not only
does Parker think that there is a kick
coming, but the majority OF the fans
present thought likewise and were not
faint in their views after the match.
Parker, who is rated by many as the
coming middle-weight champion, wants
another chance at Turner and his title,
and is sure should the chance be given
that he will return to his home the title
holder. Parker is willing TO meet any
one the management OF the Lyceum The
ater may designate with the agreement
that should he succeed in throwing the
opponent named by the theater he will
then be given a chance at Turner
According to many of the fans who
watched the match last Tuesday night,
Parker is more than right in his request;
and it only remains now for the pro
moters to get busy on another match for
the New England middle-weight

team did not care to 20 all the way out
20 Chevy Chase to play only two or
three games, and II was finally decided
to play one more game and to toss up
10 see which side would get the service.
The Departmental pair won and easily
carried OF the game as il was so dark
that the receivers could not see the ball
Probably the biggest surprise Of the
days play was the easy victory OF Moor
