THE FOOTBALL UNCERTAINTY

New York, Sept. 24.-The cancella-
tion of football schedules by both
Cornell and Dartmouth will seriously
affect the gridiron plans of a number
of other colleges in the east and may
have a far-reaching effect upon the
varsity game at institutions where
arrangements for the game are still
uncompleted.
The University of Pennsylvania,
which always featured the season.
end game with Cornell, is still unde-
cided as to whether it will go through
with the scheduled list of games
Princeton has completed q tentative
schedule, but is in doubt regarding
the possibility of putting an eleven in
the field.
At Harvard and Yale football is in
even a more chaotic state. No ac-
ton will be taken at Cambridge re-
garding the game until a meeting of
the Athletic Committee is held, and
there are several vacancies in that
body which have not been filled to
date. Yale has made no plans or
program for football or other sports,
according to the latest official state
ment, and it is not known when
these questions will come up for de-
cision
1t will also be difficult for those
colleges which had arranged games
with Dartmouth and Cornell to fill
the open dates so late in the season.
Among the more important teams
which the Ithaca eleven was to have
played are Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Colgate and Williams. The oppon-
ents of Dartmouth included Brown,
Syracuse, Pennsylvania State and

Penn States New Coach
Starts Football Practice

State College, Pa, Sept. 24.-Hugo
Bezdek, Pennsylvania States new
director of athletics. this week made
his initial bow in Eastern football
circles. He stepped on the State Col
lege gridiron and took charge of a
small squad of candidates. There is
not a single veteran. letter man or
regular in his list OF aspirants.
Fresh from his triumphs on the
Pacific coast, where he brought the
University of Oregon eleven to the
attention of the Eastern critics, Bez-
dek is making his Penn State debut
under most discouraging conditions.
His system is wholly new to the in
experienced men, his schedule is the
stiffest ever arranged for a Penn
State team, and he has no previous
varsity men in his outfit.
But Bezdek is game. He has
tackled the instruction of his twen-
ty-three man squad with vim and
enthusiasm, and if his first weeks
work is to be a criterion, he is des-
tined to gain wide recognition in
the East as a football mentor par
excellence.
If Penn State keeps up the
bears against the fresh
men, much valuable material will be
lost to Bezdek, for more than LOO
new boys will enter college when it
reopens tomorrow.

Second Attack of Day


Judging distances in the air is
very difficult for there is nothing to
use for a comparison-and golly!
how l did want to shoot as that big
bulk loomed up bigger and bigger,
but l knew / had very few bullets
left in my special gun. and the other
was no good, even If it did have in
cendiary bullets. AS / came closer
and closer L noticed there was a
marked difference between this one
and the one had first attacked. 1t
seemed newer and had more of the
bulky shape of big yellow sausage
than the other-but 1 stopped max
ing mental reservations then, for /
began noticing big, black crosses
painted on its sides and top. Golly!
The thing looked like hospital the
way 1T was painted up, and began
shooting. Gee whiz! but it was
bumpy! 1 only began to notice how
full of holes and bumps the air was
when L started to aim my guns when
Since the guns are fixed, shooting
through the propeller one must needs
aim the plane.
Thus you can see the effect of a
rough sea. There were sure waves
in this one I'll say Four times my
sight was bounced clear off the bal
loon, which was some bump when
you consider how big a balloon is.
Coming down as | was with half of
my motive power on, made the
bumps worse. for its a known fact
that the harder one hits q bump, the
higher he is going to bounce. THIS
applies to the airplane as we'll as the
auto, so you can believe l was haV-
ing my own troubles, for every time
my sight bounced off the balloon sew

none to waste, L knew. Oh yes, L
stopped shooting as soon as the sight
Jumped off the mark, but even at
that L wasted q few. Just as
feared, l had but few cartridges in
my special gun, and after some doz-
zen shots 1t Stopped-and the balloon
had not gone up in smoke. I had
little faith in the other gun, but
continued to shoot with it until at
SO meters from the balloon. L pull
ed upiin disgust then, but as 1 turn
ed / noticed the balloon start to go
down. They were pulling it down.
Third Failure
For the third time I had failed,
and the fact made me so angry I
decided to have another try with
the remaining gun. Swinging
AROUND in close circle to get in pos
ition to attack again I saw the OBJ
servers parachute open, for he had
jumped and was now floating serene
ly earthward. 1t was indeed a pretty
as well as novel sight to see that
pure white parachute go sailing
down with the big, yellow balloon in
startling contrast as to size going
down too.
Even with "archies" bursting all
around I could not help admire the
sight, for it was indeed beautiful

ute's time. when a mixup started, with
Lewis having the advantage. Benny
at long range hooked left to ear, but
Lewis only looked over at his corner
and winked to his seconds. Ted mis-
sed right swing for the head and
put left to ear. Benny, however,
evened matters with two lightning
lefts to mouth. Benny shot a right
and left to Ted's face, but the latter
was back at him with a left upper
cut to the mouth. The blows did no
damage. however, and both men were
skipping around lively at the bell.
Round even.
Sixth Round-Each tried lefts but
missed. Benny then jabbed the face
with a left and Lewis copped Leon
ards jaw with two lefts, but Leonard
was back at him with three lightning
lefts Ted started to jump trying to
get his left over, but Leonard kept
away from him and the blows failed
to land. Close infghting started with
others leads near the bell. Leonard
managed to land a right to the jaw
as Lewis was going away. The blow
did no damage. Bell. Round even.
Seventh Round-Again they spared
for an opening but when Ted tried to
get his left over. Benny blocked.
Lewis, however. kept trying but after
a few misses managed to get his left
over. Leonard got a nice left to the
mouth and they clinched. Leonard
worked Lewis toward the ropes, jab-
bing two lefts to the face and send
ing another left to Ted's right eye,
cutting that optic. Lewis then got
nettled and started swinging but
Benny was too clever and made him
miss. Benny put right to the head
and Lewis soaked the jaw with a
right. Bell. Leonard round by a
shade.
Eighth Round-Lewis poked two
lefts to mouth and right to jaw.
Benny jabbed two lefts to the mouth,
but Ted sent three lefts to the wind.
A clinch was in order. After the
break each missed swings. Ted sent
a left to mouth and Leonard came
back with a left to wind. 1t was a
tame round as far as this, with little
damage. Another clinch followed.
Ted put three lefts to wind and
Benny missed right swing. Ted
backed away from Leonard and land
ed a left to body at bell. Lewis
round.
The preliminary between Robert
Long, of Newark, at 10 pounds, and
Joe Woods, of Milwaukee, at 11S
pounds, was won by the latter on
points.

that bag. But they had no effect,
and getting very close to the ground
as the balloon was being pulled down
all the time. l pulled up and started
home.
Everything opened upon me then.
and from the sound they must have
had dozen machine guns around
that balloon. When l first heard
their distinct crack 1 thought a
Boche was coming down on me and
spent several anxious moments look
ing for Boche planes. There were
none however and then it occurred
to me that the machine-guns were
on the ground, and l stopped look
ing for Hun planes, giving all my
attention to lodging archie. He
was getting pretty thick and affec-
tionate by this time,. even at that,
l got homo with only two balls in
my plane. It's a curious fact that
the Frenchman whom 1 had lost
was going to attack the same bal
loon-the second one 1 attacked
and was certainly one surprised man
whsn he. saw the balloon pulled
swiftly earthward and second
later myself came tearing after. 1t
being very low then he did not at
tack.
htpFiIHaAleu ny Saptdln
1t was my attacking the balloon
on the ground that called forth my
commanders lecture on the folly Of
my ways, and he advised me never
under any circumstances to go lower
than 500 meters-and l had been at
4OO-and to impress this advice on
me, he pointed out that every bal-
loon was well protected by machine
guns, situated all around it. L was
only too well aware of that-and
they were not only machine-guns
either, and then after explaining the
different points l told you about in
the first part of the letter, he told
me why the balloon had not burned.
They would not burn because they
were wet. That they were wet there
was no doubt, for L had gone thru
several transforms to reach them,
and then L learned another start
ling fact-that they are not housed
in sheds as 1 suspected, but merely
pulled down, and left in the weather
Come to think of it the first one
l attacked was on the ground and
had no shed near it. No wonder
they were wet, for it had been rain
ing off and on for several days.
My wonder however, has not
abated at the Captains anxiety as
to my safety. 1t was the first thing
he though of and gave me much ad-
vice and kindly warning about at
tacking balloons with the minimum
amount of danger.

it comes to tightening the load of

so often, and thanks to the informa-
ton of my "bien" Captain will not
rush in so blindly hereafter.

MIDDIES MAY PLAY STATE

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 24.-The
first football practice of the season
under the rules which prevail dur
ing the scholastic year took place at
the Naval Academy yesterday after
noon, beginning at o'clock. Schools
which are going to maintain football
under military regulations can take
a leaf from the Naval Academy's
book, for sports have never been
allowed to interfere with the reg
ular routine. On several afternoons
of the week, however. longer prac-
tice period is permitted. Sixty mid
shipmen started at the training table
last evening, thirteen of whom are
from the new class.
Pennsylvania State has been offer
ed the date of November 2, vacated
by Western Reserves. State has an
off day on that date because Cornell
has abandoned football for the sea-
son. The midshipmen are also very
anxious to play West Virginia Uni
versity, which was the only team
which defeated them last season.
West Virginia has an open date on
November 2, as their game with
the Michigan Aggies has been cam
celed.

Turn Out, Harrisburg; Root
For Tech on Saturday

Students at Tech are laying plans
for the big opening of the football
season Saturday afternoon on the
Island when the Maroon will meet
the Mount Carmel High school
eleven. The coal region team will
come to this city with practically d
veteran eleven. Captain Ziliaskas,
playing right tackle, has been n
member of the team for three years.
He is considered one of the best all
around athletes ever turned out of
Mount Carmel.
He will bring a team into this city
that will average $50 pounds. The
present lineup recalls former days
when Mount Carmel, back in 1908,
had the championship eleven of tho
state. Captain Zilinskas has hopes
of repeating the successes of former
years. Susquehanna University and
Bloomsbury Normal school are
among the big contests to be played
by the visitors this season.
While Coach Smith is busy over
on the Island rounding up affairs for
the opening, the students are select
ing their cheer leaders to help with
the noise. Techs thirty-piece band
will also be out in their natty uni
forms. 1t will be the largest turn
out of Maroon musicians at any con-
test. Better singing and cheering is
promised to keep the pace set by the
championship team.
Last years eleven went through
the season with but one defeat and
Captain Ebner's warriors will endea-
vor to go the team just one victory
better. Following the Mount Carmel
contest, Wilkes-Ba another coal
region squad, will come to the Island
On the following Saturday
over 100 students of the four class
es at the Technical High school will
leave the latter part of the week for
the Adams county fruit belt where
they will help to harvest the apple
crop of that section. They will be
distributed in camps with twenty
four in each party. State College
students will be in charge of each
of the camps. They will be absent
from their studies during the month
of October. When they return to
school they will be given q chance to
