just returned from overseas where
she has been serving as a nurse in

Trio of Lafayette Teams
Bury Dickinson Eleven

EastOn, Nov. 10.-Showing the
most versatile and the strongest at
tack and defense displayed by Ma
room and White squad in the past ten
years. Lafayette College on Saturday,
on March Field, swamped Dickinson
College by the overwhelming score
of As to 0. The visitors were out
outclassed throughout, and even
though they put up a game fight,
they male but three first downs in
the entire game. Two of these came
in the fourth period, when Lafayette
third team was on the field.
Captain "Bodie" Weldon was the
star of the game. Weldon only play
ed during the first half, but in this
time he made several long runs and
tailed three touchdowns. Max Hou-
ser was close behind the Lafayette
captain, crossing the Dickinson goal
line twice. Gebhart, sub fullback,
scored twice in the third period.
Eehecka and Sigel, the other two
members of the Varsity backfield.
also played sterling ball and skirted
the ends for many gains.

TECH HIGH CONTINUES WINNER-STA HARD WORK TODAY FO
BROWN BEARS HIT
HARD BY GALE
Forward Passes Feature the
Game in Which Were
Many Thrills

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 10.-The
fur flew when the Yale Bulldog and
the Brown Bear clawed each other
in the bowl Saturday before 10000
persons. The Brunonians gallantly
held off the Canine attack during a
pluckily, although defensively fought
first half. Their line crumbled, how
ever, in the second, and Yale tasted
Bruin meat for a total tally of two
touchdowns, the final accounting
leaving Yale a IA to winner.
The game dissipated the legend
Ahat Yale attack was blunt and
Shapeless. Yale eleven drove over
SS3 yards of ground against a Brown
defense which knew scientific foot
ball of the latest 1919 model.
Eight times Yale went over the
top to the Brown twenty-yard
trenches, but only twice was the
play clean enough to give the final
touchdown punch. Four times the
ball was lost on downs, twice within
the Brown five-yard mark
1t was essentially a punting and
a forward passing game, Joe Neville
and Herbert Kempton, the Yale toe
artists, boosting the oval aloft eight
tiJleS for an average of forty-tWo
NArds, while Armstrong and Doody,
'Ihe brown ShyTOChSlSlS VI 'hS
leather, lifted thirteen points into
the air, for an average of thirty
eight yards.
Many Forward Passes
A total of twenty-siX forward
passes completed the aerial display,
Yale heaving ten and Brown six
teen. Yale completed seven, to nVe
for the visitors, gaining seventy-six
Yards through the aircraft game, to
siXty-four for Brown. The Brunon-
ians, however, raised nine, which
were incompleted, to two which
Yale could not put through; two OF
The Brown heaves were intercepted
TO only one of Yale's. The Brunon-
ians also smashed the tradition that
the Yale defense could not be fool-
ed. They ran up nine first downs TO
only fourteen for the Ellis. Willlams,
the colored end on the Brown team
completely fooled the Yale defense
on four occasions, slipping past the
Eli frontier till he was brought
down from behind.
The game was cleanly played, no
penalty for more than five yards be-
ing given. Yale being set back Tor
total of twenty-five and Brown nj
teen.
Quarterback Herbert Kempton
starred. His field generalship, his
summing back of punts, and his
broken-tield running time and again
threw the Brown Bear back into lts
cave. Rush line wrecker Jim Bra
den renewed his claim to his sim
lister title, while the punung
and end running of Joe Neville
shifted the scene from reverse TO
a victory march on two occasions.

THOMAS Upton
Is IN NEW YORK
Here to Plan For Big Yacht
Race Next Year; Favors
Sandy Hook

Nv York, Nov. 10. - Bronzed
snd weather beaten by sun and wind,
Sir Thomas j.. Upton, Bart, arrived
Saturday from England on the
Cunarder Carmania buoyed up with
the hope that the New York Yacht
Club would accept his challenge and
that the race would take place on
June "a. 1920.
Sir Thomas has achieved every
ambition of his boyhood dreams in
his long and successful business
career, and has only one wish to
crafty, and that is to win what the
popular Baronet terms THAT Mug"
He will remain in New York for
two weeks to make arrangements for
having the challenger Shamrock ",
taken from Shewans shipyard in
South Brooklyn to City Island and
attend to other business matters.
II have not received any reply to
my challenge" Sir Thomas con-
tinued, but there is plenty of time.
1t might have been cabled to Eng
land while l have been on the voy-
age across to New York, Nicholson's
of Gosport, England, have been in
structed to fit out the twenty-three
meter Shamrock, which I had built
for racing under English rules before
the war, and l expect she will be
ready to start across the Atlantic
under her own rig by the end of
March so as to be ready early i'll May
to put the challenger Shamrock ~
through her PAGES off Sandy Hook
before the time for the cup race
comes in June.
1.-The 23 meter Shamrock has
proved herself to be very fast
sailer in the English Channel, and
by putting them together L shall be
able to gain some idea of what the
Sandy Hook courses, because l have
known those waters for twenty
years, and like them, in spite of the
fact that the Jersey mosquitoes have
come off in swarms each time and
nearly bitten me to pieces. SO far
l have not been able to find steam
yacht to take the place of the Erin,
because the prices asked to-day are
something fabulous and out of the
question, but l expect to charter one
suitable for the purpose next spring.
"I have asked that the first race
be sailed on June "a next year, be-
cause l believe that we ought to get
better breezes early in the summer
than in September - the month in
which I contested for the cup before.
OF course, the New York Yacht Club
has the right to select the course,
and I will cheerfully acquiesce in
whatever the committee says. but
would certainly rather have the cup
races sailed over the old Sandy Hook
course than any other.

lor's knock-em- dead style is true,
then his patrons will see the greatest
fight ever witnessed in this section,
as Gill is now in better condition
than ever in his career, even fit to
meet Mike O'Dowd, the worlds
champion.
The other ten-round bout on the
card will be between the Greek
lightweight champion, Billy Angelo

Steelton; Girls Hildebrandt, of the
Hygienic, Steelton. meets John Ma
tin, of the West Side, Steelton, and

his boy:
kindly inform the readers of your
sporting page in your vicinity that
Texas Baylor the cowboy middle
weight is in the pink of condition. for
his 10-round fray with Johnny Gill
at Steelton Monday night.
IF Johnny Gill is half as good a
boy as / have been informed he is the
fans will be treated to the best bout
ever held in Pennsylvania. as this
COW puncher is as busy as a bee from
the tap of the first gong toll he either
wins by a knockout or the final gong
rings down the curtain.
Baylor is one of the busiest fight
ers in the country at present, after
his bout with Gill Monday night he
journeys to jamestown, N. Y, where
he meets Jimmie Tighe, of Scranton
on Thursday night, November 13, and
will then jump back to Girardville,
Pa, where he boxes K. o. Sullivan of
Shenandoah.
After those three fights Baylor in
tends taking a trip home to Texas
for the holidays and will begin the
first of the year, boxing on the Pa
cifc Coast, where he has several
matches in view, and will work his
way back east meeting the best boys
in his class that can be secured
And in order to carry out his
plans he must win his next three
fights decisively. and to proceed ac%
cording to schedule it looks like Mr..
Gill is in for the first trimming"
