CORNELL HELPLESS

FERRY FIELD, Ann Arbor, Mich,
November 10.-Michigan's powerful foot
ball machine, with Quarterback Weston
as Its super-ground gamer, rolled up a
AZ to score on Cornell here today.
More than 10000 persons saw Micht-
gan shatter the weak defense of the
green Cornell eleven. Except for a
few flashes of successful open play
Cornell was almost as helpless on Of
fensive as she was when the Wolver-
ines had the ball.
Quarterback Weston, the smallest
field general Michigan has ever had,
played a game that will live long in
Michigan history. In the first period he
raced nearly eighty yards for Michi-
gan's first touchdown, after he inter-
cepted a Cornell forward pass. Every
touchdown Michigan made was directly
or indirectly the result of Westons 8
magnificent gains.
Sparks was an able teammate for
Weston until he was injured early in
the game. Nethercott was the only
Cornell man who could gain much
ground against Michigan.
Westons sensational run was the
only touchdown scored by Michigan in
the first period. Three touchdowns
came in quick succession in the second
quarter. Cornell played it's best game
in the third period. when a run of
thirty-f1ve yards by Nethercott. follow
ed by forward passes. put the ball we'll

for a field goal, but his effort failed.
Weston, after several runs, scored

WEST POINT, n. Y, November 10
The Army had an easy time with the
Carlisle Indians this afternoon, win
ming. % to 0. in a game which was
featured by long runs by Oliphant and
Walker and Herman. the fleet Indian
back. who usually nullified his good
work by fumbles. Oliphant played
only the first period for the Army, and
during that time scored both touch
downs and kicked the goals.
The Indians got to the Army's 26-yard
line in the second period. but the
quarter ended before they could do
any damage. Leroy tried a field goal
from the 42-yard line in the third
period. but Knight blocked the kick
Oliphant, aided by Knight in the in
reference. ran fifty-five yards for the
army's first touchdown. knight put
out five would-be tacklers on the jour
ney to the goal line. 1t was the best
piece of work seen on the Army's field
this year. The pair broke loose again
moment later and ran forty yards
before they were halted on Carlisle's
20-yard line. Oliphant went on to the
score alone on the first lineup.

FORT WASHINGTON TEAM

The Gallaudet College eleven took ad-
vantage of its superior speed and more
varied attack and Tailed two touch
downs in the hrst quarter against the
soldiers team from Fort Washington in
the game at Kendall Green yesterday.
The soldiers far outweighed the col

opponents goal only once. and Gallau-
.det took the game by 13 to count.
After the first quarter Gallaudet
threatened to score only once. and the
heavier soldier team kept the Kendall

time. Gallaudet started with a rush
and scored Its hrst touchdown by con-

Among lne SpeclIlC CNduSeS Sdiu ~ po
desired is the addition Of Shreveport, a

ously last season. Twenty-Five minor
leagues started the season and only about
half of them finished Only nve leagues
went through without changes in their
circuits. The blows to the minors began
to fall early in the season. The Virginia
League disbanded May Is. Two days later
the North Carolina League gave up and
three days later saw the finish OF the
'Georgia-Alabarla circuit. Early in June
the Central Texas League gave way. The
Dixie League and the Northern Associa-
tion suspended early in July. The Three
T League. which had weathered all kinds
OF conditions for seventeen years. was
obliged to suspend on July s. The North
western League held on for a week longer
and the Central Association managed to
continue until August 7. The Western
League was forced to change Its align
mont and split its season in July to stir
up new interest. Even the American As
sociation began to slash expenses early In
the season because Of the heavy losses due
to postponements. resulting from unrea-
sonable weather conditions.

out of the question. The unsettled con-

From my study of the situation l
have concluded that the factory work

But now, instead of going to a ball

gets through buying motor supplies
he has nothing left to lavish on base
