PITTSBURG EASILY
 BEATS PENN STATE

Pittsburgh, Nov. 00.-Completing it's season without defeat for the third successive year the University of Pitts burgh football team yesterday after noon defeated the PGnn State eleven at Forbes Field by 28 to 6. The victory left no doubt as to Pittsburgh's- su- premacy among Eastern elevens. It marked the fifth straight defeat for Penn State in the series with the Pan- thers.
 Penn States best gains were made on
 trick formations and an open style of
 play. It used the triple and quadru-
 pie pass frequently. However, the
 State line was unable to withstand the.
 onslaughts of Gougler and McLaren.
 nor was it able to stop Easterday in
 his end runs. Gross, Way and Car
 necki were the individual stars for
 Penn State. These players were res
 ponsible for the touchdown.
 A series of line smashes alternated
 with end runs put McCarter over for
 Pitts first touchdown within five min. utes after play started. Sies kicked the goal. A long run by Gougler, fol- lowed by double pass, resulted in Gougler's scoring the second touch
 down for Pitt in the first period. Goug- Ter kicked the goal
 Penn State braced and got the ball on downs at the start Of the second period and worked the ball to Pitts 1 8 yard line. Here both lines held and
 after getting the ball again Pitt was forced to kick. Way returned the ball to Pitts 35 yard line and by Robb's end run of 35 yards and two triple passes sent Czarnecki over the Penn States only score.
 The third period saw Penn State ex- eel but it was unable to work the ball | nearer than Is yards of Pitts goal, where it was lost on downs. After
 recovering the ball on a blocked punt Penn State lost 1t on a forward pass, intercepted on Pitts 20 yard line. At the start of the last quarter Penn States line held and McLaren punted | to States IS yard line. Pitt also held firmly and a kick put the ball on Pitts 40 yard line. An intercepted | forward pass gave State the ball on it's l own 12 yard line, but a forced kick
 put the ball in Pitts possession on States 20 yard line. From that mark Pitt ploughed and smashed until Eas- | terday went over for another touch
 down, followed by Gougler's goal. A 30 yard run by Gougler and an I end run by McLaren resulted in an- | other touchdown, from which Goug- | Ter kicked the goal.

Jem Mace Had 'sYellow Streak"
 In His Early Boxing Days

Jem Mace, one of the greatest and c1everest in the long line of heavy weight champions, died seven years ago tomorrow. He was then in his 80th year, and until within 10 years of his death had been active in the ring. During his eeatended career ts n champion nobody ever had oc- casion to question Jem's gameness, yet in his early days as boxer he appeared to have a well developed yellow streak. As boy he was a gypsy violinist, traveling about from one fair to another.
 Boxing was then one of the prin- cipal features of English fairs, and Jem took naturally to the game, but his artistic temperament and sensi- tive and imaginative nature made him shrink from punishment, with the result that the crowds often jeered him and called him a coward. Most Of Jem's opponents were much larger than himself, and he was able fo defeat then only by developing science, generalship and cleverne ss beyond anything ever seen in the ring Continuous boxing developed his courage, and in the course of time Jem became a veritable lion, and knew not the name of fear.
 The man who had been called a coward became the hero of many grueiling battles, and he won and hmeld the title against all eomers for q long period of years. In all he was the victor in over five hundred bouts, and nearly all of them were fought under the old slaughter house" rules. He retired undefeated. He made a fortune in the ring and on tfe stage, but he was too kind-hearted Co keep 1t.
 Anybody could work on his sym pathy. and he was a champion easy mark as well as a champion boxer. His admirers gave him a farm on which to spend his declining years, but he could not stay away from the bright lights of the city. To the last he retained his youthful fondness for the "fddle." and he was really good player on that instrument.

GEORCIA'S GOLDEN TORNADO TEARS UP
 AUBURN, 68 TO /

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 30-Georgia Techs Golden Tornado before 10000 football fans smothered the Auburn plainsmen yesterday, 6S to T, closing their third consecutive season without a. defeat. Auburn only last week held Ohio State to a scoreless tie. The defeat was the worst that an Auburn team has suffered in the history of the school. The score sent the Yellow Jackets above the Navy as the leading point scorer of America this season.
 Tech registered 2S first downs, against 4 for Auburns, and gained a total of SIP yards, as against 197 for Auburn.
 End runs by Guyon and Strupper, line bucks by Hill and forward pass ing, with Guyon doing the hurling twelve of which were completed suc- cessfully, were the means of piling up the large score. Guyon's and Strupper's tack1ing also was superb. Guyon got away for several runs of over twenty yards, while Strupper tore off three runs through broken fields of forty-f1ve, fifty and sixty-five yards.
 Ducote, with a fifty-six yard run and several short gains, led the Au- burn attack. The Plainsmen's lone score was the result of a twenty yard forward pass by Ducote to Donahue and Donahue's forty yard sprint through broken field, aided by won derful interference after receiving the pass This came in the fourth quar- ter. Auburn never had one chance to score at any time during the game prior to Donahue's run. Ducote's fifty six yard sprint at the end of the sec ond quarter brought him into a broken field and Guyor caught him from be- hind on Techs 26 yard line. The quarter ended before another play could be made.

Chains Will Play Glees Title Game
Manager Kearney Books New Elm City Champions for Attraction at Newfeld Park Sunday = Brady Likely to Be Lost to Eleven.

By their defeat of the Annex team yesterday, and the consequent annex. ing of the New Haven city football championship, the Washington Glees won a booking with the American Chain Co. team at NewfieId park Sunday afternoon. Manager Kearuey had planned to bring the Annex here for a third clash, the two former games having resulted in a tie, but the Glee victory would make a state t1tular affair out of Glee-Chain game, hence the switch.
 It is very probable that Brady will be lost to the local team Sunday, as he has just entered the service, and been ordered to report at once. His place, however, will be filled by capable substitute.
 There has been some talk of Rdch- ardson and Nagle being out of the lineup. There is hardly doubt but that both will play against the Glees Sunday, though that will probably be their last game of fhe season. Nagle has been drafted and ordered to report to Camp Devens. Richardson is plan ming to join the navy soon.
 Manager Kearney is contemplating bringing the Annex here 8 week for Sunday for a third contest, believing that this time the dead lock which has hitherto existed, would be broken. Definite announcement will be made after the Glee game. If the Annex are not booked, Sundays game will mark the close of the local football season,

WASHINGTON GLEES BEAT
 ANNEX IA TO 6 AND WIN
 THE HIM CITY GRID TITLE
All Football Dope Upset When Hilboys Trounce Ancient Rivals In Titular Fray-Coogan Individual Star
 Team Work Deciding Factor

F'umbles were many, pvt the contest was on the whole a spectacular one to watch. Mcdonald dropped the ball twice, Courtney onces Coogan twice, Bradford twice, Slaproth once and Dunn once. Dunn, however. made up for his fumbles, not by ground gaining, but he played an er- cellent defensive game at all times.
 The variation of plays, as was pre-. dicted, raised havoc with the Annex defense. Cross bucks, end runs, for ward passes, quarterback runs and line smashes kept the Annex bewild- cred. Mcdonald ran the Glee club team at quarterback in a heady fash ion. and outpunted by his rival Stan , wood of the Annex, his kicks were | run down by his teammates in such fashion that on the whole they count ed for more ground than did the An nex bpoter's spirals.
 The entire GIee club team was an eleven made up of individual stars. 1 Franke1 in some manner squeezed his way through and ran down even at times beating his own ends down the 1 field. He got many pretty tackles, as 1 did Tambo O'Keefe, the other Glee club tackle. O'Keefe was injured in the third period of the game, and his place was filled by Josky Ryan, who held down the position in excellent shape.
 | The Annex entered the contest a slight favorite, but it didn't take long after the contest started to see that the Glee club was by far the better | team. The Annex as a whole played loose ragged brand of football, and | if during the season fsred as miser- ably as they did yesterday, it is safe to predict that they wouldn't have been in the championship game.
 The team that played the Glees 1 yesterday was not. of course, the team which held the Chain company eleven of Bridgeport to two tie games, but was made up of solely ! local players, the Four Corner lads i thereby dropping two of their out of town stars. But even at that the after the first two minutes of play 1 that the Four Corner lads would pull through victor, but never at any point during the battle was the win ner in doubt.

HIGHLAND LAD WINS
 HOLIDAY HANDICAP

Baltimore, Nov. 30-An records were broken for a Thanksgiving Day at the Bowie track yesterday after noon. The attendance, despite rem nants of the snowstorm on the ground, topped the best previous mark by several hundred. Con- servative estimates placed the crowd at close to 10000. The only draw back to a pleasant outing was due to inadequate transportation. Many intending visitors were unable to reach the track.
 Highland Lad, a, three-year-old son of Dick Weller, easily won the Thanksgiving Day Handicap, the fea- ture of the card. This colt is now at the top of his farm. He was a freouent winner this summer and has steadily improved with each race | here.

 Quaker Scoring in Sec ond and Fourth Periods.

Philadelphia, Nov. 30-There was no football surprise on Franklin Field yesterday, Pennsy -vauia defeating her old rival, Cornell, 37 to 0, in their twenty~fifth annual game
 On the comparati playing of the TWO teams during the season the score represented about what the Pennsylvania followers expected. In the quarter of a century of football Between the two universities, Penn aylvania has won twenty games. lost -four and one was tied.
 Cornell startled the Pennsylvanians in the first period. The Quakers, con ndent of victory, did not seem to have the speed or power to stop the Itha- cans, with the result that the New York State team clearly outplayed the Fhiladelphians.
 Cornell had no trouble in piercing the Pennsylvania line or in going around the ends, and gained almost twice as much ground as the home eleven.
 Cornell had chances to score in this period, but in each instance the op- portunity was lost through /Fullback Hoffman's failure to kick field goals. | f1e had three tries, the first from the {5-yard line. the second from 27 yards and the next from 15 yards.
 After the first quarter it was all ennsylvania- The Red and Blue rcored 3 points in the second period, and while no points were added in the third, the Quaker goal was never ir danger.
 Ia, dId about as she pleased and scored z zx points, of which the wonderful Toward Berry contributed IT. Berry <ccred a total of 1s of the points.
 The playing field was soft and rlippery, the result of a three-inch rnowfall early Wednesday, and the players had difficulty in holding their feet Some of the players were so fpattered with mud they could hardly be Identified
 The crowd was not as large as u&uaIly attends the Thanksgiving frorne here. Soldiers and sailors were we'll represented- There were lots of t~cnnt seats and spectators sold tickets below their cost.
 Aside from a lot of noise made by loyal Cornell rooters in the first rerfod, when their team was pushing Pennsylvania down the field. there was little enthusiastic cheering dur Ing the game.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. so.-Ohio State University, two time s'big ten'' cham pion, kept it's seasons slate clean by beating the Camp Sherman, Ohio, ali star eleven here yesterday afternoon, 28 to o. The varsity had little trou- hle in passing and made big gains around the wings. Ohio State played an open, running game almost throughout. The Army was kept largely on the defensive.

New Haven, Nov. 30-From the very start of the game until the last minutes of play in the last quarter the Washington Glee club out-man- euvered the Annex team at Light house Point yesterday afternoon and emerged from the contest the winner by the score of IA to 6. The only time that the Annex showed up it's season form, was in the last five minutes of play when by an aerial attack, they took the ball from the 35 yard line to the Glee Club 10 yard line, where the ball was still in the hands of the Four Corner boys, when the signal that the contest was over sent over 1000 fans scurrying for the trolley cars.
 During almost the whole game with the exception of the last few minutes the Annex seemed bewildered by the snappy team work of their Glee op- ponents, and played far under the form which that eleven has demon strated all season. The Glee Club line opened large holes in the Annex de- fense, and their backs took advan- tage of this, and tore through time and again for large gains. The back field of the winners circled the Annex ends in wonderful fashion, and the punts of Mcdonald were run down and the Annex man who caught the ball was downed instantly on almost every occasion.
 Coogan, the sturdy backfield man of the Glees was ths individual star of the contest. He was hurt in the second period of the game, and gave way to Klarman who took his place, but not before he ran around the Annex ends with a speed which the four corner players could not com pete. His work was responsible for the first touchdown of the Glee Club team, for he brought the ball by his brilliant end runs into the dangerous ground for the Annex. As a result of line plunging and end circling the Glees 28 yard line, where Coogan hurled long forward pass xto Clyde Waters, who ran, over the goal for a touchdown sending almost 4,000 Glee Club followers into a spasm of joy which has not been equaled at a foot ball contest in the state. Mcdonald easily kicked the goal
 In the second period of the con- test the Annex scored on what the Hill boys characterized as a bod break for their team. Stanwood, the Annex tackle, kicked the ball from his 35 yard line to Coogan who was standing on the Glees 33 yard line Several Annex men were galloping towards him with tremendous speed and the ball went clean through his arms and bounded on the ground Dave Dunn, the Annex fulTback picked up the leather and crossed the Glees line before being downed. Stan wood failed to kick the goal.
 There was another score in this period, due to the fact that the An nex line failed to hold at a critica moment. Stanwood was sent back te kick on his 19 yard line, and before he had hardly received the ball, tht G1ees forwards were almost on toI of him. As last resort he threw tht ball in the style of forward pass, bu Moe Friedman jumped high into thu air, gathered the leather in his arms and raced across the goal for the fl
 nal score of the game. McDonalt again kicked the goal.

SOLDIER HATFIELD
 BEATS MARTY CROSS

Providence, R. l., Nov. 30--Soldier Bartfeld defeated a fellow New Yorker, Marty Cross, in a sizzling 12- round battle at the National A. c. yesterday afternoon. The ex-service man forced the pace from the outset, won nine of the frames and was out in front with such a commanding lead at the finish that there was no question of the decision.
 Superior strength and stifrer punch in each mitt. were prime fac tors in the victory. Cross was forced to break ground repeatedly before Bartfield's rushes. Both finished fair ly strong.

BLACKS STARS TIE
 WITH CAMP DEVENS

Boston, Nov. 30-'Cupid'' Blacks Newport Naval Reserve football team and Percy Haughton's soldiers from Camp Devens, fought on a snow cov- cred gridiron at Braves Field yester- day morning to scoreless tie.
 Coach Bulls baby boys. however, were the aggressors throughout. They outrushed the Devens team, on which several former Harvard varsity men were playing. by 230 yards to 50 and made twelve first downs to only one for the soldiers.
 Late in the third period Thacher of Camp Devens broke through for Al yards on a delayed pass play, carry ing the ball ofhe navy's 27 yard line. where a lateral pass was fumbled by Minot, the hero of last weeks Camp Upton game in New York. At no other time did the soldiers have the ball in Newport's territory.
 Blacks team, which was consider ably the heavier, had an attack that gained pretty much at will up to it's opponents fifteen yard line, but it was unable to go over the coveted line. The lineup:
