LINCOLN RED CROSS
 CLUB

Each country. has it's own Red Cross, each society working prima- rily in its own country, but ready at sll times to go anywhere it may do good. and no other society is so we'll equipped and instantly ready as is our own the American National Rcd Cross, whose fold is mover circumscribed ex- cept by barriers which others raise.
 Our Rod Cross has neither religion, nor politics; knows no race nor caste, and never stops to ask foolish ques- tions, nor seeks to shift responsibility: but wherever there is a great disaster, there is the Red Cross, and it not un- commonly happens that the Red Cross is on the ground and at work before tho world at large has hoard the news. Naturally 8 German might prefer to contribute to the support of the society of his own country, and so of an Aus trian, Bulgarian, or & Turk. But whom war cuts one of from his own country as an alien enemy now in the United States, there is every reason for supporting the American Rod Cross True, it can not at present cross tho line of battle and care for tho enemy soldier, but it can and does, i'm partially, care for all the sick and wounded who fall into American hands. No discrimination is exercised either for or against any uniform, friend or foe, all look alike to Red Cross worker
 Then let every person who reason ably is able to do 80, join tho Lincoln Club, and aid in the glorious work.

GRAVES MAY GET
BERTH AT PENN
Likely to Start Instead of
Crippled Wilmington in
Garnet Game
DRILL ON DEFENSE WORK

Bill Graves. a citizen of Springfield,
Mass. is likely to receive n tackle as
sgnment from Coach Bob Folwell for
the second Swarthmore game Of the
season, which will be held at Franklin
Field Saturday afternoon.
The New England boy has the first
call for the post, made vacant tempo
rarily by Blonde wilmington. who suf-
fered wrenched knee in the Pitt battle.
wilmington has not been able to get into
uniform this week, and, although he
expects to be out this afternoon and
ready by Saturday, it is not likely that
he will be allowed to start the Swarth-
more contest.
Graves played the tackle post in the
scrimmage against the scrubs yesterday.
and he played it well. He is a tall lad
and weighs more than 10 pounds. He
lacks the experience of wilmington, but
he is learning fast.
Bob Folwell, who is carrying on the
coaching work alone while Bill Hollen-
back Is on a business trip, is putting in
considerable time on defensive tactics
The scrubs have been given Swarthmore
formations by Doctor Keogh, and they
have been put into play against the
varsity.
The Quakers have improved since the
last Garnet engagement, and the Mercer
eleven will find the Red and Blue a much
harder foe than was the case on No

New York, NOV. Il.
"'The baseball leagues will resume op-
erations next spring" said President
William F.. Baker of the Philadelphia
National League club yesterday. "In
fact there does not seem to be any valid
reason why the big leagues should not
get back into action
Next spring conditions will be pretty
close to normal. By that time the great
majority OF soldiers on this .sde of the
water will have been demobilized, and
possibly IA good number OF those now in
Europe will be here. We should be able
to start with as strong lineups as we
did a year ago. if not stronger.
while some of the ball players in
service reached France the big ma
jority of them still are in America. OF
our eight men in service. Whitted. Oil-
hocffer, McGaffigan and Tincup still are
at Camp Merritt. AS far as we know
only Lieutenant RiXey, one OF our first
players to enter service, is on the other
side.
"A lot of our boys entered shipyards
after the season closed last Labor Day,
but they are doing real work.
"The reason I feel so certain that
baseball is coming back into its own is
the fresh interest I have noted in the
game in the last week. A fortnight ago
no one thought of talking baseball, and
it seemed to be a subject that was
taboo. But since the signing of the
armistice l have been surprised at the
number Of men who have made inquiry
as to whether we would take the field
in 1918.
II have no doubt that the public will
be keen for the return of baseball and
will support it as literally as hereto
fore"

Pitt Coach Taking No Chances on
Injuries

PittsburR. Pa, Nov 2l.-Coach Glenn
Warner continued his school of instruc-
ton in football mathematics yesterda!
afternoon when the Panther squad lined
up at Forbes Field. The weather was
against much field work, and Warner
was content with light workout in
signals and running and kicking, as the
ground was very soft and slippery. The
coach Is anxious to avoid injuries to his
men this week and "A hard workout is
liable to bring n twisted joint or
strain with the field in such shape
Every known play of the Tornadoes
has been explained by Warner. as well
as the jump shift play by a friend of
the coach who has seen the play work.
ed. The big task of the coach this week
has been to get the players out OF a
slightly lethargic state engendered by;
the easy time they had with w. and
J. and Pennsylvania. and the team Is
gradually rounding to that point where
Warmers scowl dissolvcs into smile

Warner listened to the appeal Of the

League Island Understudies
Haze Cast Stars Worried.
Charleston Navy Yard
May Play Here
CEORCETOWN NEXT FOE
By EDWIN ]. POLLOCK

VEABSLEY and Stone ever heard of
l. them? No, they're not a theatrical
duo. but thev stage an act daily down
at League Island that is making a con-
siderable number of our enlisted boys
sit up and take notice; that is. sit up
after being knocked down and take no
tice Of their injuries.
YeaSsley and Stone are a pair of
smart football players, but there are
several young men, mainly those who
play on the Vermont and League Island
second teams, who wish the said $. I. p.
were conining their act to stage boards.
The Y. and S. combination ripped huge
holes In the line of the opposition in the
scrimmage yesterday and they sprinted
off tackle and turned the ends with q
speed that is bringing them closer to
the first backfeld of the League Island
eleven with every stride.
Duo Causes Worry
The two backs are not regulars, but
they're pounding and humping at the
door for admission to the first team and
1t Is taking considerable effort ON the
part of the first string backs to keep
them from breaking through. Yeabsley
and Stone not only have Allie Cornog,
Simmer and Haehl worried, but they're
causing wrinkles in the brow Of Byron
Dickson.
To quote Commander Chandler Smith,
the manager of the League Island eleven
and a football enthusiast every inch of
him, there are five candidates for the
League Island bacltfied of about equal
caliber. The quintet includes Simmer.
Cornog, Haehl Yeabsley and Stone, not
TO mention Pard Pearce, who looks like
the best quarterback available.
The quintet is putting up a battle

royal to see who will start in the battle
against Georgetown at Washington, D.
c., on Saturday, but 1t is more than
likely that the first three players named
will be the ones who will get the assign
ment along with the former Penn fresh
man pilot.
No Changes Likely
Every one was given chance to show
his wares in the scrimmage against the
Vermont sailors and the second team
yesterday, and all five displayed good
form. However, it is virtually certain
that Coach Dickson will start the same
team against Georgetown as the one
which went down under the first kick
off in the Brown game on Franklin Field
last Saturday.
This means that Higgins and Procto,
will be the ends; Oliver and Newcomb.
the tackles; Budd and Crosetto, the
guards; Motter, the center, and Pearce,
Simmer, Haehl and Cornog, the back
field.
Ensign Thomas Welch, the assistant
manager, announced that the Charleston
Navy Yard had written for a game here
on November 80, and that the Rev. A. H
Haughey, the treasurer was in communi-
cation with the Southerners trying TO
close arrangements for the contest.
It is likely that the Charleston eleven
will be played on Franklin Field. pro-
vided a permit can be obtained from
the University of Pennsylvania for the
use of the gridiron. Charleston is the
team which held Howard Berry's Camp
Hancock combination to a tt tie.

HACKNEY TO USE
NEW METHODS
North Hill Pro Will En-
ploy Novel Plan to Teach
Pupils Golf
HERE'S A DIFFICt 1T SHOT
BY WILLIAM II. EVANS

Jim Hackney, the professional at the
| North Hills Country club. has evolved
| n plan for teaching his golf pupils next
spring that will be watched with inter
est At most clubs tn" pro has to use
part of some fairway ard is subject
to lot Of delay If other players are
playing that particular hole. Hackney
will obviate all this. In addition, the
usual place for teaching pupils to use
the wooden and iron clubs Is a straight
stretch of fairway with no hazards to
overcome.
Near the clubhouse at North Hills
there are three greens. Looking towards
! the railroad tracks from the clubhouse
! two may be seen. Between the fa'rwav
and the first green, which happens 10
be the sixteenth, there is a quarry and
farther away between this green and
the next one there is another quarry.
Splendid Practice Ground
Hackney intends to use the first green
to teach his pupils the short approach as
the distance is only slightly over a
hundred yards. Here is a splendid op-
Dortunity to teach the beginner how to
loft the approach shots. In fact. there
. IS no other way to the green but through
the air, and he figures rightly that it will
be easier for the beginner as well
as the golfer who has played before,
TO learn the right way of making a
lofted approach.
The other green is far enough away
so that the pupil can learn to make
long shots through the air with the
driver, hrasSie, spoon and Clrek. AS
in the case with the shorter approach,
this shot must find its way to the green
by the air route, for the two quarries
make it impossible for topped shot to
