What is your favorite athletic
sport? Peter P. Carney contends that
trapshooting and golf are the univer-
sal recreations for "all ages" He ar
rfves at this conclusion from the rea-
soning that young and old can always
partake in them. In the recent Grand
American Handicap, premier event of
trapd, .... ior example, he discovered
among the 620 entrants a boy of nine
years of age and man of 10. There
was another boy of IL, another of 10,
who. by the way is a state champion,
and half dozen lads of is or ~
Years. Then there was a young wo-
Ian of II summers, and dozen men
Shyond three score of years.
From to 10 is surely a real con-
trast in ages. No other sport can
touch these figures. nor the number
of entrants. Golf in the 1917 cham
and a man of 60. That is the nearest
approach to trapshooting's figures.
Ones golf isn't quite so good as one
gets along in years, but the very best
trapshots we have in this country to-
day have turned the half-century
mark.
The lad we mention as the youngest
in the Grand American Handicap is
George Andrew Miller, of Brewton
Ala, and the veteran of 79 is Captain
Andrew Meaders. of Nashville. Tenn.
This is the third year in succession
that Captain Meaders has been the

IS REINFORCED
Bunch of Stars Return After
Battling the Flu; Loss of
Hobey Light Is a Blow

Good news of athletes returning
to Old Penn counterbalanced the
bad news that Hobey Light, slashing
and Roughhouse Kraus, will not be
able to play.
Bunny Lerch, the sterling Varsity
quarterback, was out in uniform
yesterday after an absence of sew
eral weeks in which he was engaged
in combating the influenza epidemic
Another medical reserve to come
back after helping the health author
tiles, was Joe Mitchell. the Varsity
basketballer, who has been distanc-
ing all Corners for the wing position.
Harold Kammerer, the erstwhile first
string snapperback, resumed and got
in at Varsity tackle. To add to this
galaxy of stars, Lardie Davis, an
other cageman also reported, along
with Miffiin Armstrong, the former
Central athlete.
The loss of Light is far greater
blow to the prospects of the season
/ than the passing of Kraus.' The
former Lebanon lad has starred on
| both the football and baseball
squads. His natural athletic. prowess
made him easily outstrip his oppo-
lnents in both sports. He could crack
the line for a greater gain last sea-
son lHdH any OlueT Ildh OIl Llt
Varsity Penn squad while his tack
ling was deadly.
! Hobey did not complete his course
in dentistry sufficiently to obtain a
degree and it was thought that he
would return and secure the covet-
ed sheepskin. For this reason, no
choice for the captaincy of this years
eleven was made.
In addition to Lerch, another
quarterback of first caliber reported
yesterday, and was given an oppor-
tunity to show his wares on the Var
sity. His name is Allan Smith, the
former Georgetown University star
He lived up to his reputation by
smashing the scrub line for consid-
cradle gains. Another lad who made
the second string men shudder was
Crawford, the latest find at Franklin
Field.
The youngster comes recommend
ed to Penn by no other authorities
than Shorty Braun, and Blondy
Wilmington. He is a born footballer
and loves to play the backfeld posi-
ton. In last Saturdays mixup he
ran 125 yards for pair of touch
downs. If young Crawford continues
his present rate of playing, he will
be a fixture in the Red and Blue
lineup.

Jackson's Home Runs
Bring Championship

New York. Oct. 16.-Mrs. Joe

American League. is enjoying some
of the money her husband handed
over to her after his two mighty
homerun clouts recently cinched
the championship of the Atlantic
coast shipyards for his "home"
team. At the same time, Harlan
is proudly displaying the Coke
trophy. valued at $500. which was
awarded after the Standard yard
suffered its last defeat of the sea-
son.
Jackson's bat practically won
the deciding game. Joe made three
hits during the contest, and two
of them were homeruns. The sec
ond wallop for the circuit was
perhaps the most profitable one
the famous slugger has ever made.
After he had run around the bases
the Harlan fans went wild with
enthusiasm and showered him
with bills. Joe picked up the
money carefully and handed it to
his wife, who was sitting in a box
watching the game.

Brickley Gives All His
Success to Haughton

Charley Brickley, the former
gridiron star, who is now an en-
sign in the navy. was talking re-
Gently about the coaching of Percy
Haughton. Among the many
points of interest that Brickley
brought out concerning Haugh-
toms methods was this:
whenever Harvard played a
strong team that had great back
field star we always had two men
to cover him continually during
the game. That is how we stop
ped 'ToT Pendleton' and 'Hobey'
Baker, of Princeton. That is how
we put squietus on Harry Le-
gore, of Yale.
These three men were great
players. I think that Baker was
one of the best backs that ever
stepped on to a gridiron. But l
don't remember him making first
down against Harvard. Haugh-
tons system of having two men
playing him all the time stopped
Baker to a walk.
"Haughton's attention to detail
was the big factor in his and our
success Eddie Manaan and my
self were given most of the pub
licity for Harvard's success in
football when we were at Cam
bridge. but I am frank to say that
the great play of the Harvard
j lineesmen. often overlooked. was
a bigger factor than the public OIL

Groh and Hickman Made
Shortest Hits in Game

Late in the season in a game in
Cincinnati, Heine Groh batted
what was proclaimed to be the
shortest safety since the game be-
gan. The ball glanced off his bat,
fell on the plate and lay there.
Bill Rariden. who was catching,
didn't see where the ball went,
and was frantically hunting for
it while Groh skipped to first.
Charley Hickman is credited
with the shortest two-bagger
ever delivered, at Comiskey Park
some years ago. He hit one that
struck just beyond the edge of
the plate, but instead of staying
quiet. bounded sharply back. The
catcher tried to grab it up and
effect a putout, but the ball grazed
his arm and leaped clear to the
stand while Hickman kept on rum
ming.
Under the rules that was a fair
ball, for the catcher had struck it
while it was still in fair ground.
Also under the rules. it was not
an error. for the catcher merely
grazed it and had no chance to
hold it exactly as if it had been
hit to shortstop, and just tipped
the shortstop's glove. Hence it
was a fair hit, as Hickman never
stopped till he got to second, it
had to be counted as a double.
