penn ELEVEN HANDS
OUT real SURPRISE
Doping Out Strength of Grid Teams
from Comparative Scores
Is ALI Bunk.

New York, Nov 3s.-Penn gave
the football 'sharps the surprise Of
the season
When the Red and Blue moleskin
warriors of Bob Folwell trampled
the Wolverines into the dust at
Franklin Field, headed by the YER
satile Howard Berry. they tipped
over the beans completely. for no
one expected that the wolverines,
hailed as the cream OF the West,
would return to Ann Arbor Q de-
feated team, though many critics
predicted that Penn would put up
a great battle, and the writer was
one of them.
Penn's victory over Michigan
shows pretty clearly just how much
dope Is worth when 1t Is gathered
from comparative scores. In sizing
up the strength Of various teams
which do not meet during q season.
or comparing two teams scheduled
games against the same teams, the
dopster takes the longest kind Of .
chance, and, as a rule, he doesn't
get away from the barrier insofar
as hitting the nail on the COCO Is
concerned.
Doping out football teams by COM
parative scores Is Just as sure as
doping out baseball teams-with due
respects to HuChie Fullerton.
In other words, 1t is the bunk
pure and simple. for there are just
as many uncertainties in football
as in any other game.
For instance, who would have pre-
dicted that Penn could have played
the hefty Wolverines on their feet
in every department of the game? /?
Who would have predicted that
Howard Berry, an in-and-out player
as q rule, would slip three field goals
between the bars against Michigan?
Who? We hear no answer. The
heartiest supporters OF the Penn
team - the Philadelphia sports
writers-did not have the confidence
to predict that Penn could win, for
Michigan came East too well-press-
agented and carrying too good a rec
ord for that But the fact remains
that Penn did wallop Michigan. and
there you are.
Penn, as she played against Michi-
gan, might have beaten Pittsburgh.
Penn was pointed and ready for that
game. She had found herself and
Bob Folwell had instilled a fight
ing spirit in the Quakers which
would not be downed. Penn's backs
and Penn's forwards played as
though their very lives depended on
victory. The pepper in the team
was evident when they rushed onto
the field for their preliminary signal
drill They showed more jazz and
ginger than the Wolverines could
possibly have shown, and they made
it a sweeping victory.
The old dope 10 the bunk in many
cases, but what is a poor dopester
gonna do, huh? Tell US what!

but his father. Police Captain Gar
gan, reassured the young athletes
many frienus yesterday by declar-
ing that the rumor was entirely
without foundation. II was said at

was no truth in the story, which
was discussed in hushed tones by
football men in this city on Satur-

Lezama's Entry Captures
Autumn Consolation Stake
from Classy Field.

Bowie, Nd, Nov. N.-Another good
card was run at Prince George Park
today, and one Of the largest crowds
to date was on hand. The programme
was featured by the Autumn Consoli-
dation Handicap, which went to Le-
zahha's Shooting Star. Ambrose gave
a clevel exhibition Of riding in this
number by putting his mount across In

top stretch he made his bid for the
race. Shooting Star came with a great
rush and out-gamed Woodstone and
Julia Leon in the final drive Of this
mile feature.
Big fields marked the day, twelve
two-year-olds facing the barrier in the
opening race, which was \ selling dash
at five and a half furlongs. The win
ner turned UP in Schaffer's Wheat
Cakes, who came within two-fifths Of
a second of the track record. Rowan
mount was easily the best Of this
large field. as he went out for first
honors at the far turn and once in the
lead was never headed. Jane Mary,
which landed second, was given q
creditable ride by Walls, who was
forced to take the long route but ex-
hibited wonderful ability in the
stretch drive. Herther Belle, well
played, landed the show position.
The six furlong hike, which was the
second on the card, was an easy romp
for Paul Powers Brinshurst, who
made every post a winning one. Incog.

ting. finished in the place position,
while Josefina Zarate got the only
other money position.
Wild Thyme, an outsider. captured

former Harvard players will take the
measure Of Cupid Blacks Newport

Polo Grounds on Saturday, while
Blacks hckers were sustaining a
crushing defeat at the hands of

.HESTON GIVEN PLACE
in ALL time BACKS
Michigan Star Was Marvel at Rush
ing Ball-Eyen Work of Present j.
Stars Never Surpassed Work.

Grantland Rice suggested that a
backfeld composed OF Jim Thorpe,
Ted Coy. Willie Heston and Walter
Eckersall might well be considered
the greatest and most powerful in the
history Of football, bringing consider
ahle criticism from New England on
account Of Charley Brickley and Ed
die Mahan, particularly the latter,
being left out, and suggesting that
Mahan be substituted for Heston.
II Is years and years since Willie
smashed his way to supremacy at
Michigan and his exploits have, no
doubt, been somewhat dimmed by
more recent players, but before usurp-
Ing his place on an all-time back
field 1t isn't amiss to glance over
Willie's record.
During his college career Heston
amassed a total OF 90 touchdowns
which gave him q total of I5 points.
This was in the days when a touch
down counted i've points instead Of six
and still his mark is fully 100 points
ahead Of any rivals.
OF course Heston played four years
while modern footballers play only
three years. but oliphant, the great
Army scoring machine who is playing
his sixth year Of college football, doe.
not come close to Heston's marvellous
achievement.
Heston was never stopped. Mime.
sofa came as close to it as any aggre.
CATION when Michigan was held to q
s to tie. But in the game Minnesota
could not stop Heston, who carried
the ball 50 yards in il plays, placing
the ball on the Gophers' two-yard line
from which Maddox went over for q
touchdown.
ToEreturn to Heston's touchdown
record, 1t must be remembered thai
1t was before the day of the forward
pass and the many trick plays which
have been developed from its use
making scoring easier in many in
stances, and that Heston's touchdowns
were made by buckjng through solid
lines Of fighting men or by circlins
ends where speedy, watchful backs
lay in wait.
With all respect TO Eddie Mahan, We
believe we shall vote for Willie Hes
ton.

PENN STATE WILL
TEST PITTS METTLE

Pittsburgs, Nov. N.-The University
Of Pittsburgh 1877 football season will
be brought to a finish this week.
The last game Of the regular sched-
ule Is to be played at Forbes Field
Thanksgiving Day with the Pennsyl-
vania State College eleven. A post
season contest has been booked in
the form Of q benefit game with
the soldier team from Camp Lee for
Saturday, December 1.
In the Thanksgiving game the
Panthers will probably have one OF
the hardest encounters of their long
schedule. The men Of the Blue and
White have the reputation in Pitts
burgs Of always presenting one OF
the hardest yet cleanest-fought games
of any team that appears on the
Blue and Gold schedule. This year
will be no exception to the general
rule, for the State College men are
recognized as one Of the most for
midable aggregations Of the East.

INTERCOLLEGIATE TO
HOLD INDOOR GAMES

New York, Nov. H.-The Intercol-
legiate Association of Amateur Ath-
letes of America will conduct its
annual indoor games early in March
of 1918. It has not been decided
where the meet will be held, but
the chances are that it will again go
to Philadelphia. The expenses of stag
ing a meet in the Quaker town are
less than one-half Of what it costs
in New York City, providing Madison
Square Garden is the holding place
The Garden is the only suitable
place in Manhattan for the big COL
lege meet, as dirt pits for pole valut-
ing, high Jumping and shot-putting
are required. From a gate PROPOSE
tion it is about an even thing, fgur-
ing on the receipts taken in at pre-
vfous meets held in the two cities.

STATE ELEVEN Is
FAVORITE In GAME

Baltimore. Nd, Nov. E.-Betting
here is 2-to-1 that Maryland State
trims Hopkins in their annual clash
on Thanksgiving Day when the two
rivals meet on Homewood Field.
Three weeks ago State won over
st. Johns in the last few minutes of
play after they had worn down the
defense Of the Annapolis Cadets who
came back with a lot of fight in the
second half. 1t was Just before the
whistle that the Staters woke up to
the call of their student body for a
touchdown and put two over on the
visitors for good measure.
This meeting between the Staters
and Johns Hopkins will be a battle
well worth going q long way to see
as both teams are out for the Mary
land State title, and q victory means
championship honors, no matter what
their season records fortells.

TEST FOR GEORGIA TECH.
Auburn May Give Line on Strength
of Yellow Jackets.

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. T.-Three football
elevens in different sections Of the
country stand out as the strongest
teams Of the present season. Pitts
burgh in the East, Ohio State in the
West. and Georgia Tech in the South,
but the question of which one Of the
three Is the most powerful football
machine will have to be passed up
without satisfactory solution.
When Georgia Tech plays Auburn
Thursday a comparison may be drawn
between the Southern and Western
champions, because on last Saturday
Auburn surprised the football world
by holding Ohio State to a scoreless
tie. 1t was believed that the Southern
ers would be easy for the strong Ohio
eleven, but Auburn showed unexpected
strength. The Thanksgiving Day game
in the South should give a line on the
relative strength Of Georgia and Ohio.

road Cost for Clubs

New York, Nov. S.-The Federal
