this season TO see the Panthers in
action. AS to that game. Pittsburgh
undoubtedly took the Quakers rather
lightly. They did not scout the Penn
sylvania team and no analysis of the
Red and Blue play was received at
Pittsburgh.
Again, in view of all this the
eleven was pointed for the Washing
ton & Jefferson contest, which
throughout has been regarded as the
hardest game and the game most
doubtful in its issue of, any on the
Blue and Gold calendar. All of
which accounts for some physical
lesion on Oct. 81.
AS to head work: The forward
pass which Pittsburgh tried with
disastrous results in the last few
minutes Of the last quarter of the
Pennsylvania game was selected by
the third substitute quarterback-
none the less it must be said he had
precedent for his bad Judgment in
similar generalship as applied by
men who occupied this position be-
fore he went in. Thinking in terms
of the w. & J. game it should be re-
called that while Pittsburgh was in
slump and did not show half the
fight OF Pennsylvania. yet the Quak-
ers were held safely and had practi-
cally no chance to score except on the
intercepted forward pass. Which, Of
course, is something.
In their game of year ago Pitts
burgh won from Washington and JEFF
ferson by a score of 81 to but it is
doubtful if the present team will du-
plicate these figures.
In the other games of the day in
which the more prominent elevens of
the section are scheduled to partici-
pate the outcome appears to be more
a question of scores than victory or
defeat Both the Army and Navy
teams should win from their respec-
tive opponents, Carlisle Indians and
Georgetown. Rutgers appears to
have the edge on the Springfield Y. M.
c. A. Training School eleven although
the, latter combination is exceedingly
proficient In the use of the forward
pass in all its variations. Colgate
should win from st. Bonaventure but
both Syracuse and Swarthmore will
find Bucknell and Lafayette, respec-
lively, more difficult to subdue.

NEW RECORD MADE
BY OMAR KHAYYAM

Pim1ieo, Md. Nov, 9 - Wiifrid
Viau's Omar Khayyam strengthened
his claim to the premier honors in
the three-year-old division yesterday
and won the Pimiice Autumn Handi-
cap at mile and a quarter, making
a new track record of 2:05 2-5. There
was no Hour1ess in the field that OPP
posed the Kentucky Derby winner,
but before and after the match race.

that tHourless had been brought to
Maryland to fulfill his engagements
at Pimlico, which included the stake
run yesterday afternoon. and which
was worth $1,000 and limited to

The absence of Mr.. Belment's great
horse in no way detracted from the
merit of Omar Khayyam's perform
ance, as he conceded as much as So
pounds to one Of the starters and &c
pounds to Clifford A. Cochrans Fairy

second and two-fifths faster than the
previous track record time. How far
he stands above the rest of the three

judged by the fact that A. K. Ma

than Omar and was among the also

PITTSBURGH. &J.;GAME AND
PENN=DARTMOUTH FEATURE
Two Undefeated Ecvens Face Each Other Tomorrow in
Seasons Gridiron Classc-Presidential Team Picked
to Win-Penn- Dartmouth Evenly Matched.

Two games stand out on the East
ern football schedule of the morrow
as giving promise OF being close, hard
fought contests. These are the
meeting of Pennsylvania and Dart
mouth at Boston and the Pittsburgh
Washington and Jefferson struggle at
Pittsburgh. In other respects the
Saturday list of gridiron combats is
not likely to be productive of either
form or score upsets.
Judged from their season records
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania appear
to be reasonably evenly matched and
the outcome is likely to be small
margin victory for the eleven which is
the more alert and quicker to take
advantage of the breaks in the play
Last season the teams of these two
colleges played a to tie, but this
fact has little bearing upon the re-
suit OF tomorrow's contests as very
few of the men who participated in
that struggle are now wearing mole
skins. The Quakers have played
seven games to date winning five and
being defeated by Pittsburgh and
Georgia Tech. Dartmouth has won
all six games scheduled thus far this
season. the defeats of West Virginia
and Penn. State being the outstand-
ing features.
The whirligig of affairs has placed
the Pittsburgh-Wash & Jeffer-
son game as the most important of
the season, important If only be-
cause the contest will see two unde-
feated elevens in action, teams that
have been coached by two of the
greatest instructors in the country,
Sol Metzger and Glenn s. Warner
Washington & Jefferson looks to have
at least an even prospect of victory;
indeed. few base judgment upon
what has been heard OF the Red and
Black and place this reputation
alongside Pittsburgh's showing
against Pennsylvania, the resultant
temptation is to regard the Presi-
dental eleven as having a bit of an
edge. Gr
Inasmuch as every team has at
least one slump game" to get out of
its system each season, so, as it may
appear. Pittsburgh selected the Penn
sylvania game for that purpose. If
SO, this was regrettable, since it was

GOLFERS GIVE BIG
SUM TO RED CROSS

New York, Nov. 9-Some idea Of
the herculean task that confronted
the executive committee of the Unit
ed States Golf association when it de-
cided to hold nationwide tourna-
ment on Independence Day for the
benefit of the Red Cross is had by the
details of the event. which have just
been made public by Howard r.
Whitney. the association secretary.
Several months have passed since
July a, but then Mr.. Whitney had to
get into touch with l.497 clubs, and,
although only 500 of these agreed to
hold tournaments. the organizations
were scattered throughout every state
In the United States with the excep-
ton of Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico
and Oregon: These 500 clubs had to
be supplied with Red Cross medals
and certificates, but the biggest part
of the job came in getting the officials
to hurry along their returns and the
checks. AS a. matter of fact, Is of
the 500 clubs have still to be heard
from.
Altogether a sum of s72.375.7S was
raised. Allegheny Country club of
Pittsburgh. subscribed the largest
sum, $4.26s, and the smallest SUBJ
scription, a sum of IS. eame from an
obscure club tucked off somewhere
among the hills in the extreme north
west of the country,
In notifying the clubs of what had
been done, Mr. Whitney and Freder-
lex g. Wheeler, the treasurer, on
whom devolved the greater part of the
work, state that the undertaking was
a decided success from every stand
point and has demonstrated that the
golfers of the United States exerted
themselves to make the event ma
tionwide patriotic testim enial. The
| tournament was carried on with the
hearty cooperation of the American
Red Cross and to the willing efforts
of this organization Messrs. Whitney
and Wheeler give full credit for the
success that has been made.
After Allegheny the best subserip-
tion was made by the Columbia Ceun-
try club, of Washington, D. 9. The
sum realized here was s2,639.88. II

FOOTBALL GENTLER,
PITT COACH ASSERTS

Glenn Warner, coach of the Pitts

in comparatively few years football
has changed from a. rough and risky
contest to a sportsman's test. Foot
ball is parlor game today oompar-
ed to the way it was played in the

Warner says that the reason for
this Is the change in coaching policy
and the Improvement among officials,

that football is still our toughest
game. not excepting boxing and
wrestling. but the redeeming thing
about rough play today on the grid
