CHAMPION VOLLEYBALL TEAM PLAYS HERE SATURDAY--BI
When National Game Was
Given Start in New York
Scores We're Different

those early days q very different rule
prevailed. Instead of the game being
won by the team which scored the
most runs in nine innings. it was won
by the team which first scored twen-
ty-one runs TO win a game. Some
times that number was scored in
three or four innings. sometimes, in
deed in single inning.
Games Were Long
On the other hand, a game was
some times prolonged for four or
five hours, through 80 or 40 innings,
before the requisite number of runs
was scored 1t was because of this
uncertainty rs to the length of the
game that the rules were after some
years radically altered. Because there
were nine players on each side. nine
was the number of innings determined
upon to constitute a game.
With tina regulation in early years
enormous scores were not uncommon.
teams sometimes rolling up 35 or 40
runs, or even more. in nine innings.
Those were the days before scientific
pitching. with its puzzling curves,
was invented and batters were able to
swat the ball all over the lot"
1t may be added to complete the
record that the first game between
organized clubs, at Hoboken in 1876
was won by the Knickerbockers over
tho New York Nine by the score OF
81 to 1.

Edison High Wants Game;
Team Is Showing Form

All the players who participated in
Saturdays game came through with
out injury. Last evening Coach
Miller put the squad through a very
lively scrimmage on the field at Sew
enteenth and Chestnut. The coach
wishes to strengthen the line and to
improve the running of interfer-
ence. With this in view he had one
team line up against all the other
fellows who reported for practice.
Although the line was outnumbered
it held well.
Owing to a rearrangement of the
schedule the manager, Roswell Lyons
~finds that he has an open date for
the coming Saturday and is trying to
schedule a game for either Saturday
morning at home or Saturday after
noon away from home. The man
Eager is also trying to arrange some
games for the scrubs. He is trying
to get teams to play against the
scrubs that will average about one
hundred and twenty pounds.

Cornell's Defeat Was Tonic
For Ithacan Grid Team

ithaca, N. Y, Oct. 22.-Cornell's
sharp reverse at the hands of Col
gate is proving a tonic, not a knock
out. Though unexpected, at least in
such a decisive fashion, the defeat of
the Red eleven by the Maroons has
proved very SOLITARY lesson to the
Cornell squad and coaches and the
partisan of the eleven, who are go
ing to New York by trainloads to
cheer for the team in the Dartmouth
game on the Polo Grounds, Saturday,
are confident of a complete re-
versal in form and fighting power
by the Big Red team.
In the Colgate game the green Cor
nell eleven was subjected to a heart
breaking test that revealed many
weaknesses of individual and team
defense, but this did not break the
team spirits. They fought to the last
ditch, and with such a spirit and a
weeks grinding work in long and
gruelling scrimmages, the coaches
are hopeful that Cornell will come
back" strong against the Dartmouth
team. and give ample evidence that
the team has finally got together.

GETTYSBURG HAS
FOUR HARD GAMES.
Most Important Battle Will
Be With Bucknell in
Harrisburg

Gettysburg, Oct. 22.-with Ursinus
conquered by a 14-0 score, Gettys-
burg has disposed of the first of her
five greatest rival teams to be met
this season, but from all indications
the other four, namely, Dickinson,
Villanova, Bucknell and Franklin
and Marshall will not be defeated so
readily.
Dickinson will be played at Car
Isle on November and if Gettys-
burg can win this game in q de-
cisive manner, the chances will be
exceptionally bright for the Buck
nell contest which looms up as the
most formidable of the year.
Play Best Game Here
Gettysburg thought their defeat
of holding Penn STATE scoreless in
the first half was exceptional, but
Bucknell lost only 90, while the
Battlefield Boys were downed $50.
Bucknell knows, however, that COM
parative scores count for nothing

Elmer, who has been a quarter
back candidate, has won his place in

feature of the last two practice ses-
sions.

Woman Wins Trophy but
Has Trouble in Getting 1t

Several years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Ad. Topperwein, then, as now, DEM
onstrating the efficiency of the shot
gun and rifle for the Winchester
Arms Company. were invited to par
ticipate in tho National Rifle
Matches at Sea Girt, N. ].
The invitation was accepted and
in due course of time Mr.. and Mrs.
Topperwein arrived at the New
Mrs. TOpperwein was the sensation
of the meet. Never before had
woman tried to shoot the Army rifle
on the 200, 800 and 500 yard ranges.
1t was a thing totally unneard Of
but that wasn't the real big noise.
That came later when the scores
were tabulated and Mrs. Topperwein
was discovered to have made the
best scores.
When Mrs. Topperwein was in
vited to shoot the executive officer
didn't figure for a minute that she
would win. and when her score was
posted as the best the officer was in
q quandary. The regulations said
that trophies would be given to the
men, etc., but nary a word about
women.
So the marksrlanship trophy was
withheld while the commanding Of
ficer took up the question with the
War department and President
Roosevelt. The President in his
usual characteristic way settled the
matter quickly. He told the COM
mandine officer that If Mrs Topper
vein was good enough to defeat the
men. she was good enough to get the
trophy. and that to present it to
her at once.
