Tennis Officials Meet
at Waldorf December 7

dertook to raise the sum of 100000
for the Red Cross Ambulance Fund
there was definite arrangement made
as to how the money was to be spent.
Late in the summer. however, the gov
eminent assumed full control of the
ambulance service, and the association
has not yet been able TO secure an
authoritative statement from the Fed
oral authorities as TO their intentions
with regard 20 this fund. This has
prevented the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association from fulfilling
its obligations to its members.
The hitch is only temporary. how
ever, and the officers of the associa-
ton hope 10 have statement from
the government in time to permit the
meeting at the Waldorf TO take final
action in disposing of the funds now
1vailable.
In justice TO the Red Cross and 20
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association il is only fair TO state that
every effort has been made 10 adjust
the matter in n way that would fultil
the obligations of both organizations.
In view Of the definite agreements
upon which the national association
based its campaign, il is believed that
a satisfactory understanding will BIO
reached without further delay and that
only the great pressure of business at
Washington has prevented this before.

Penn Acquires
Little Glory
Beating Redmen

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-The Uni.
versity Of Pennsylvania's victory over
the Indians to-day by the score Of 26
TO o did not reflect much credit upon
the Red and Blue. The game was none
too we'll played.
The Penn attack lacked power and
drive, and it was only the weakness Of
the Indian eleven that permitted Penn
to score three touchdowns and lick two
goals from the field, and drop kick by
Berry from the 20-yard line and XIX
from placement by Quigley from the IS
yard line.
In the final period of the game. when
Penn led by safe score and was play
ing many second string players, the
Indians started drive that nearly re-
suited in touchdown.
They carried the ball from their own
25-yard line to Penn's 5-yard mari.
There, unfortunately, Leroy fumblei
the ball and Rosenau secured it for
Penn. The Indians had forced their
way up the field for seventy-fve yards
by end runs and forward passes, only
to be deprived of coveted score by
their own mistake.
Indian Player Injured
The game resulted in injuries for
several players. Casey Jones, the
Indians sixteen year-old centre, was
so badly hurt in the first period that
he had to be removed in an ambulance
TO the university hospital. He had
his jaw broken and, it is feared, was
injured internally.
Penn's first touchdown was secured
by Berry on left end run. The next
score. goal from the field, was made
by Berry after Penn had lost several
yards on the last down because of q
bad pass.
In the second period the Indians
made the mistake of trying to gain a
first down and had to give up the ball
on their 27yard line. Barry tried for
goal from the field. but failed. The
Indians were declared off side and
Penn was awarded the ball on the In
dams 7-yard line. Berry then made a
touchdown.
Quigley Kicks Goal
In the third period Wray blocked a
punt and Berry recovered the ball on
the i. dians' 13-yard line. Quigley then
kicked a goal from placement. Start
ing from the Indians 42-yard line,
Pennsylvania quickly carried the ball
to the 3-yard line for a first down, and
the score was made by Light. That

Army Defeats
Boston Eleven
After Struggle
Charley Brickley, Coach for
Hub Team, Loses Game
for His Men

WEST POINT, n. Y, Nov. 24-1he
Army wound up its football season to-
day with a victory over the Boston
College eleven. The score was 10 to 4.
The Hub collegians proved to be wor-
thy opponents for the soldiers. The
game was one of the hardest and
cleanest fought contests ever staged at
West Point.
Charley Brickley's men fought game
ly and had the score tied at the end
of the third quarter. Brickley him
self pulled "bone" which deprived
his team of at least tie with the
Army team, The piece of stupidity
which led TO an Army victory came IN
the last few minutes of the final quar-
ter.
The Army eleven, which had been
set back almost to midfield by pen
atty, launched its airline attack at
this point. Murrill tossed perfect
pass into March's wide-stretched arms
at the junction of the l6-yard mark
and the side line. Scanlon dived into
The officials said the pass had been
completed. Brickley demonstrated and
walked on to the field TO emphasize
his protest. It cost Boston a penalty
of fifteen yards. and on the first line
up Oliphant damned through for the
winning touchdown.
First Half Scoreless
Neither side scored during the first
two periods. Bull Vandergraif entered
the fray soon after the opening of the
third quarter. 1t was Nandegraff's
first appearance since the opening
game of the season nine weeks ago.
The former Alabama University star
was not long demonstrating what a
power he would have been to the Army
eleven this year. lie took up the bur
den of kicking and tore great holes in
the collegians' front wall, through
which Oliphant and his mates in the
backfield sifted with ease. Van de
Graf once got away for a 55-yard
dash from a fake kick formation,
shaking OFF five tacklers on his way
down the field.
Elmer Oliphant is credited with his
usual days work. He scored all the
Army's points, dashing half a dozen
times Tor long gains, sometimes Tor
fosty yards, sometimes for fifty. 1t
usually was up to the last five or six
Hub players on the way down the field
TO stop him. No one or two men on the
team could do il. His forty-yard dash
in the third period led up to the Army's
first score.
II put the ball on Boston's 4O-yard
line. A forward pass. Murrill to Bart
lett, put il on the 25-yard mark, and
from there in short jabs at the line
Oliphant, Walker and Wicks took il the
remaining distance, Oliphant going
over for the touchdown and kicking the
goal.
Twenty-fve-Yard Run
Urban, for Boston College, blocked a
kick in this same quarter, and Fitz-
patrick ran twenty-five yards for the
touchdown. He also kicked the goal
which tied the score. In the initial
period Fitzpatrick tried field goal
from the 25-yard line. II vent wide.
He essayed another in the third period
from the 40-yard line. This fell short
and Oliphant brought it back TO the
starting point in a brilliant dash, after
the catch.
Then came the series of plays which
led up TO Brickley's bone"

Long Island Boys Have
Suffered but One De-
feat This Season
By A. c. Cavagnaro

The Flushing High School eleven
has established a record this year that
will probably stand for a long time.
In the seven games played to date by
the Long Island boys they have rolled
up a total of 325 points. This exceeds
the former record total of 80 points
which the 1915 team scored.
The only reverse suffered came at
the hands Of the St. Paul's School team
of Garden City, by score Of q to
10. In this contest Flushing was
minus the services Of three of its most
valuable players. Some of the scores
compiled by the Flushing boys in
trouncing their opponents are the
highest ever made by any local ag-
gregation.
Flushing closes its season on
Thanksgiving Day with the Bingham
ton High School on the latters up
state field. The players regard the
coming game as the most important
Of their schedule. The team will tax.

poets TO get revenge for the defea.
last year.
Good Coaching Responsible
Much Of the success of the Flushing
team is due Smith Afford. the coach,
who at one time was a prominent mem
Der of the University Of Kentucky
eleven. Afford has drilled the funda-
mentals thoroughly into the eleven
and makes it his business to see that
each player knows his duties. Afford
guided the team IL !9i4 and 1915, and
during these two seasons Flushing
failed TO meet with defeat
Flushing sought 10 settle the inter
scholastic championship of the greater

High School, of Brooklyn, winner Of

ing that It's eleven had experienced too

The Flushing team, comprising God

the last season Flushing has asked for
time out on only one occasion.
While the defence has withstood the
attacks of heavier teams, il averages
only $50 pounds. Coach Afford prides
himself on his wonderfully efficient and
speedy backiield. In executing sue

Eli Cubs Upset
By Great Kick
OF Tiger Keck

NEW HAVEN, Nov 24.-Before the
most brilliant military assemblage ever
gathered in the Yale Bowl. the Prince
ton freshmen to-day upset all calcula-
tons by defeating Yale. 1921, by a
score Of to 7. As Princeton was
beaten, "a to 0, by Harvard. while Yale
defeated Harvard, IA to 0, to-day's
game was begun with wagers favoring
Yale, at to II. Princeton's dashing
play swept Yale so close to the Eli goal
that five times scoring was imminent.
Keck's Kick Saves Day
Twice the Tiger cubs cashed their
scoring checks. The first time was in
the second period, when Harvey, the
Princeton left end, seized the ball,
which had been poorly passed into the
backfield, and tore fifty yards for a
score. In the final period, with Yale
leading. to 6, Keck kicked a difficult
placement goal from the Yale 43-yard
line.
Harvey's run vas easily the most
spectacular feature of the game. As
he picked up the bail he was thrown
by Quarterback Neville, but struggled
to his feet. wrenched himself free and
eluded two Yale tacklers before he
swept into an open field for his sensa-
tonal score.
Twice Keck missed field goals from
placement, at about the Yale 30-yard
line. Once Welsh failed to register a
drop-kick goal for the Tigers.
Yale showed two flashes of ground
gaining power. In the opening period.
after Yale had recovered the pail in
midfeld, Lays forward pass to Dimes
Melted twenty yards, and the Yale back
field attack took the ball ahead ten
more. Then Opie interrupted for
ward pass, and Davis punted out of
danger.
Yale Shows Great Drive
Yale's most consistent campaigning
was displayed in the opening minutes
Of the second half, following The re-
covery of tumble by Neville at the
Princeton 25-yard line. French and
Lay tore gaps in the Tiger defence till
the ball lay only two inches from a
touchdown. Lay took il over, and
French's goal gave Yale the lead, to
s, only to have the situation upset late
in the final period By Kcck's exhibition
of magic.
