REVERSAL oF FORM
 IN FOOTBALL GAMES
Saturday Was .. Day of Unusual Grid
 ,liron Performances.

New York, Nov. 1s.-Several sur- prising iapses in the supposed form of prominent football teams was the outstanding feature of the Eastern college football games of the week end. Pennsylvania swept. Michigan from her pedestal of undefeated supre- macy. Tufts upset Dartmouth and Fordham completely outplayed Cor nell. While these reversals were few in compariso nto the many games which resulted as was generally ex- Eected nevertheless they marked the day as one of unusual gridiron per- formances.
 The downfall of Michigan will be the subject of discussion and con- ltroversy, not so much because the westerners were defeated. as the man. the surprising result of a game which was expected to be one of the. best of the football year. Judged on their best pc formances and records, the Wolverines were conceded to have a slight advantage over Pennsylvania before the, game started by even the adherents of the. Quakers. A close hard contest was looked for. but never deveioped, for the Philadelphia col legians took command. of the situa- 'tion at the very beginning of the game. and never ceased their aggres- sive tactics until victory naU been achieved.
 Aside from tight defense early in the play the conquerors of Nebraska Corneli and other strong elevens shbwed absuautsay nothing unusual or

By An "Old-Time Hunter.


 1 in Persia in the old days, the late lamented King Cyrus would have come in for a big show up. He blew in all the taxes four cities could scrape to- gether on his hunting preserves. The Greeks were keen hunters. But for some reason the society crowd in 1 Rome rather looked down on the game at times and left it mainly to the pro feSsiona1s.
 If anyone is thinking of going in for hunting in England we would bid him pause. It's dashed expensive. Take this matter of riding to the hounds. Founders that one really doesn't care to know can worry along with half dozen horses. But chaps in our set who want to be well mount ed keep a whole stable. You can pick up a likely sit of horsefesh for from S2, 800 to $4,000. work. Not long after the pheasants come from the incubators and see kicked out of the barnyard they begin to show their savage spirit. As you keepers to shoot them out into the open you trouble lest your shot fails to kill and you have to meet them hand-to hand. Some fellow has fig around g each before you draw a bead on 'en.
 There's hardly a man in these Uni ted States who didn't wish as a boy that ne o been porn a nunQFeu years sooner. Just think of it! Pigeons by the cloud, buffalo by the million, deer ready to eat out of your hand. And when these grew tiresome there was grizzy to be tracked, while if for tune was very good you might some day land bighorn. These times are mostly past. ah me! But there's a little left. Ducks and snipe and our reliable young friend, MT. Bob White. A man with special train and reg iment of guides can still have a tEG for a moose.

From all the hunting stunts that men have indulged in it would appear from where we sit that the easiest snap was the good old sport of fal conry.
 Just picture to yourself a first line French nobleman. some hundred yPA-s ago, all powdered and perfumed, i'd ing through the fields on a brisk all tumn day.
 Suddenly he haIts and that steely giint comes into his eye. High aloft a ferocious tontit is uttering it's War noble releases his hawk. Up it darks like an arrow to the mark. Then our hero dismounts, drinks an ice- -crea m soda and has his shoes shined while the falcon fights it out above. When all is over it returns, dragging the tontit by the heels.
 Men have hunted Tor the fun of it when they got chance, but more often because it was a question of bringing home the goods or meals would stop.
 The Egyptians were major leaguers they did was to use trained lions. There's no doubt that plenty of ex- citement was furnished. When a deer was jumped they would upleash the big cat and sic him on. Then the multitude would sit back and wonder what would happen if the lion changed his mind and started a game of tag with those who unleashed him.
 They hunted in chariots, too. And what rip-roaring movie they could have made of an ostrich hotfooting 1t across the desert with three or four or the old carts banging along behind. Just by way of good measure they went after hippos with nothing but spears.

MICHIGAN DEFEATED FOR
 FIRST TIME IN SEASON
Howard Berry Hero of First Beating Handed Wolverines This Year-Score 16-0 Comes After Bitter Fight.


 Pennsylvania gave Michigan big surprise Saturday and defeated the western football eleven 16 to 0. It was hard Bitterly fought game in which good and bad football was mix ed by both sides. The defeat was Michigan's first this year.
 's Fullback Howard Berry, the college penthathIon champion, was easily the hero of the game. He scored 10 of Pennsylvania points, outpunted Mich iganS kicker and was in the thick of nearly. all plays: He made three field goals in five tries, and also kicked a goal from touchdown. He also was a marvel in running with the ball. - Pennsylvania's goal at no time was seriously in danger. In the first two periods the teams were almost evenly mat atched what advantage there was being with Pennsylvania, who showed a better offensive.
 During the second period Balfback Straus of Pennsylvania and Quarter back Weston of Michigan got into a fight and both were banished from the game. This was a serious loss for each team, and the Michigan team did not play with sustained power aft0 that. ~-.t
 Genebach succeeded Weston and in the third period he fumbled in trying to pick up one of Berry's punts and Michigan's 10 yard line. The Quakers failed to gain and Berry broke into the scoring by toeing field goal from the 30 yard line. Before the third period ended he kicked another one. In the final quarter Berry tried a field goal from mid field against the wind and failed. The play went for touchdown. Michigan failing to gain Wiermen attempted a punt from his own 10 yard mark and the ball was blocked, Cleary falling on it hack of the goal line for a touchdown. Michi- gan then played loosely and just be- fore the game ended Berry kicked his fhird. goal from the IS ward line

Crumple German Lines for
Two and a Half Miles
Near Bapaume
LATEST BLOW DOOMS
TOWN OF MIRAUMONT
Morale of Rupprechts
Troops Is Dwindling,
Experts Say

London, Feb. 24.--The British eneir-
cling movement to the west OF
Bapaume received further impetus TO-
dav when Haig's troops smashed for
ward on front Of two and a hall
miles south and north of the Anere and
penetrated into the village of Petit
Miraumont, the southern defence OF
the fortress of Mirsumont. This I'M
portant success was announced by the
War Office tonight
South and southeast of Miraumont
The British lines were advanced on
front of mile. South of Serre progress
was made along front of one and
half miles. The number of prisoners
taken in the two attacks is not lndl-
Gated, but it is thought to have been
large.
The movement north of the. river
strsightens the British line between
Serre and Miraumont and vastly IN
creases the menace TO both positions:
The success on the southern BANK OF
the stream virtually seals the tate or
R[iraumont, which in turn protects
Bapaume on the west. 1t may take the
British some time to reduce the de-
fences Of Miraumont, but there IS no
longer any doubt OF It's capture IN the
near future.
Pys Now Indefensible
Another important effect Of the
latest British advance, coupled with
that made by Haig's forces on the same
front a week ago, is TO narrow the
salient southeast Of Miraumont and
thus place the village of Pys in an al
most indefensible position, enclrcied on
three sides. nj,
troops were not idle while the Ancre
attack was being pressed. Berlin al,
mits tonight that the enemy occupied
"some portions of an advanced posi-
4ion. which was filled with mud ana
abandoned by US" The increasing case
with which the German positions IN
these two sectors are being taken by
the British leads TO the conviction IN
military circles here that the morale
of Prince Rupprecht's troops Is stead
ilv growing worse The readiness with
which German troops have surrendered
during raids in the last few weeks, the
weakness of their counter blows, the
frequent desertions and the lack Oh
that spirit which in the past made them
face death rather than yield ground
show how anxious they are for the END
of the struggle.
Big Drive Still Delayed
II would be foolish. however, to over
emphasize this feature. The heaviest
and severest fighting of the war re,

Brownsville Master Re-
fuses to Mobilize Squad
for "War Game"
BUT ALL BROOKLYN
is WELL GUARDED
Hundreds of Lads Answer
Quick Call to Watch
Over Borough

The leader of the Boy Scouts in the
Brownsville and East New York dis
tricts refused yesterday to mobilize his
squad when an order was sent out by
Scout Commissioner b. NJ. Langstaf
for the first practice mobilization Of
the entire Brooklyn organization.
The reason given by the leader
whose name could not be learned, was
that there was a general sentiment IN
his district against military prepared
ness" and that he, himself, was averse
to any mobilization of the organization
which savored of "militarism." He has
resigned, and his resignation probably
Despite the failure Of the Browns
Vile boys TO respond, the mobilization
was a success. As soon as the call was
issued from the headquarters, at 20l
Montague Street, Brooklyn, at 1880 IN
the afternoon, khaki clad boys, some on
bicycles, some afoot, carrying frst-aid
kits, rations, tents, parts OF wireless
equipment, field telegraph outils, signal
flags, field glasses and blankets. began
gathering in the streets in all parts
of the city.
Boys Assemble Quickly
From Bay Ridge to Columbia
Heights, throughout the Flatbush and
Fort Greene sections. and down
through Williamsburg, the boys hur-
ried by twos, by companies and by bat
talions to the various points OF moblli-
zation. Within an hour after the call
had been issued-not even the twenty
district leaders had been spprised OF II
beforehand-more than 1,200 boys, rep
resenting over half of the entire or
ganizstion, had assembled and were go
ing about their various duties to pro-
tect Brooklyn from an imaginary enc
my or to make themselves generally
useful to the borough in time OF need.
Every boy, save those who wor on
Saturdays and the members of the
troops not notified, had responded.
Three hundred went from Williams
burg, Flatbush and Prospect Heights
to Prospect Park, where in less than
an hour they had routed out and ar
rested six spies" hidden there by the
commanders, and were guarding all
entrances and patrolling every road
way and path.
The boys in the Fort Greene section
rushed to Fort Greene Park, where
they had set up wireless station on
the highest point and were sending and
receiving messages from other parts
of the city, while members of the
bicycle corps sped with these between
the ether points of mobilization.
Coast Guard Formed
All along the Shore Road from South
Sixty-seventh Street to Fort Hamilton
the boys from the Bay Ridge district
formed a "coast guard" ready to flash
warnings along the entire length of
the patrol to headquarters the moment
U-boat should poke it's periscope
above the waves. The boys from Co
lumbia Heights modified at Borough
Hall, formed a double guard about it
and sought the tops of the highest
buildings in the downtown section
