FOUR STARS OF PENN.
PLAY ON "PRO" TEAM

Philadelphia, Nov 29.-Four mi
versity of Pennsylvania football
players will play with an Ohio pro-
fessional football team tomorrow.
They are Lud Wray. center: Lou
Little. right tackle: "Heine" Miller,
right end, and Ben Derr. half back
The men have already signed con-
tracts and will play in the same po-
sitions as on the University of Penn
sylvania eleven. Hobey Light, full
hack: also received an offer. but
didn't accept because of his studies
the faculty at the University of
Pennsylvania is said to be opposed
to the athletes joining the profess
sional ranks, but as the Red and
Blue season is over. the football
committee has no authority to pre-
vent the men from taking such Il
step. The only way in which the
committee can take action against
the players is to withhold their de-
grees when they are graduated in
February. on the ground that their
conduct has been detrimental to the
best interests of the university.

CALL ON YALE
TOCHANGE TO
NEW FOOTBALL

New Haven. Conn. Nov. 29.-The
Alumni Weekly. whose gyrations
throughout the football season in
regard to the Yale team have been
as mysterious as Yale's apparent
inability to take up the modern
game. has the following to say IN
tomorrow's issue regarding the end
of the season:
That the football season just
over has proved a disappointment to
Yale men everywhere. and not least
to the varsity and the coaches them
selves. goes without saying. 1t was
season in which Yale had excep-
tional football material to start
with, a corps of coaches of whom
Yale had great expectations based
on experience and reputation. and
opponents in the final games who
had the same problems that Yale
had in renewing their football ira
ditions at the close of the war.
In the final game Yale On each
occasion had the better of the ar
gument, the first time with the
score in her favor up to the last
few minutes of play: the second
time on superior strength through
out the latter half of the game. Yet
each game was thrown away-to
Princeton by failing on a difficult
play close to our own goal that
was turned into an unexpected score
against US; to Harvard by fumbles.
and finally by a most disappointing
lack of football sense with a trying
touchdown within possible reach.
The team in play appeared not to
know what to do when critical turns
of fortune came. A well-drilled de-
fensive eleven. il did not have an
offense that could score.
1T is well for Yale to accept the
situation philosophically, however
much we wanted the varsity team
to reap the benefits of its acknowl-
edged possibilities. For there are
other seasons coming. and a new
coaching stan needs time to get
going.

Great Financial Season at F. and nj.

Lancaster. Nov. 29-The Franklin
and Marshall College faculty states
that the 1919 football season was a
banner one in point of attendance.
Totaling up the receipts today of the
THANKSGIVING Day game here with
Gettysburg, the board found that
records for gate receipts. since the in
stallation Of the sport here, were shat
tered and then some. And this in the
face of the most diSa strouS playing
season the local team ever had. Re-
ports from various football and bas-
ketball affairs yesterday string along
with the college announcement. At
every game. city and county. attend
ance records were either smashed or
larger gathering than was expected
was out. Dry leaders here are claim
ing the credit for the new attendance
records. contending that it is the first
visible effect of the absence of one

Koehler searched in vain for a dry
spot upon which to sprawl himself for
the pass He took to the mud as II
he liked it and ducked his head as
army forwards charged in on him.
King booted the goal with the ease
of one a master at the art.
Again in the fourth period when the

peated.
If King is the king. Clark and
Cruise are the crown princes. Clark.
especially. proved himself a human
battering ram. He charged into the
line head down on assaults that sell
dom failed to gain a few yards. He
and Cruise worked the ball both
times tn the place where King made
good his kicks.
The score does not indicate the ex-
tent to which the Army was out
cIassed. The soldier line outweighed
the sailors nearly fifteen pounds to
a man, but il was shattered by the
charges of the Navy backs. The
Navy had relied on forward passing
, as its main asset. but when several
efforts failed in the air. they resort
ed to straight football with telling
effect They outplayed the West
Pointers in every department of the

SYRACUSE WILL MAKE
NO WESTERN TRIP

New York. Nov. 9.-The great
slump of the Syracuse team on the
Western trip-defeats by both Indi-
ana and Nebraska. which had no
business to come within two touch
downs of the upstate eleven-de-
veloped in accordance with our ex-
pectations. The results also vindicat-
ed our stand on the trip. which We
branded as a big mistake even be-
fore Syracuse left for the West. We
are given to understand from official
circles that no syracuse team ever
again will be permitted to make a
trip into the West. and there will
be no more football anti-climaxes
just as long as Chancellor Day is
at the helm We are told that the
chancellor permitted the trip against
his better judgment and that ne is
determined that he will not be per-
suaded 10 act against his judgment
in the future.
