EDISON SQUAD
IN FIRST GAME
Coach Picks Two Teams For
Hard Practice Game;
MaroonS Win

Student Football Manager Roswell
Lyons did not succeed in getting
an outside team for this weekend so
Coach Miller arranged a game for
Friday evening between two picked
teams from the school squad. The
coach styled these teams the Ma
rooms" and the Whites" During
the course of the game a number
of substitutions were made so that
nearly thirty boys took part in the
game. -Four ten-minute periods were
played.
The "Maroons" scored twice, in
the latter part of the first quarter,
and again in the latter part of the
last quarter. The whites" held the
"Maroons" frequently and gained
about as many first downs as did
their opponents.
An Even Battle
During the second and third quar-
ters the play was nearly even with
the whites" having the slight ad-
vantage, at one time having ad-
vanced the ball to the "Maroon's"
two-yard line but they failed to
score.
Every fellow on the teams played
well. Dreese and McLinn figured in
most of the end plays. Snyder, who
had been out of the game for sew
eral evenings carried the ball over
for both touchdowns. Cassel, Jones
Heagy, Challenger and Selser seemed
to play to the best advantage in the
line work. Barringer, Nye, Lentz
Thompson. Johnston and Snyder did
good backfield work. If the boys
keep up their pep and their spirit
which places the team before the in
dividual player, they are bound tc
give Palmyra a hard battle next
Saturday.

URGED TODRIVE
POISONOUS GANG
OUT OF NATION
Senators Declare BolsheviS
Backers Get Government
Positions

Washington, Oct. II. - Charges
that Bolshevik agitators have been
favored with high positions by the
administration and are now going
about the country preaching the
overthrow of the Government by
force, were made in the Senate to-
day when Senator Poindexter. Re-
preventative of Washington, and
King, Democrat, of Utah, urged that
there be prosecutions OF these radi-
calls, or deportations.
Among the men specifically named
by the Senators were L. c. K. Mar
tens, known as the Bolshevik am
bassador to the United States; Rob-
ert Minor, a former resident of
Philadelphia and a newspaper cor
respondent, who was arrested in
France on the charge of spreading
Bolshevik literature among the
troops, and later released; William
c. Bullitt, also a Philadelphian,
who was a member of the Ameri-
can Peace Commission, and Dudley
Field Malone, former collector of tile
port of New York.
These men, it was asserted, have
been prominent in spreading the doc
trines of the reds throughout the
country, and the continuing to do so
without check from the authorities.
The last two named have not only
been Federal appointees in the past,
but 1t was indicated that they are
apparently favored by the admin
tration since no stop is being put to
their activities.

Dickinson Squad Works
to Develop Minor Plays

Carlisle, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE past
week was one of intense and con-
centrated effort on the part of the
Dickinson College football squad
and its coaches. The earlier period
was spent mainly on fundamentals
and in developing some minor plays,
but beginning this week the activity
was shaped with the plan of de-
veloping the style of play to be fol-
lowed for the season.
In addition early training was
somewhat hampered by the num-
ber of men out with injuries but this
has been greatly decreased as the
team has acquired endurance and
toughness. Special plays were de-
veloped and work was pressed with
the result that there was a big i'm
provement and the practices just
before the start to meet Ursinus to-
day showed greater snap than mark
ed the opener against Albright one
week ago.
The squad as a whole is light
this year and Coaches Craver and
Myers are understood to be plan
ming a method of campaign in which
the open style of play will be fea-
tured. This was a feature of the
week and Ursinus to-day saw a
much different style of activity than
the formations used against AL
bright.

Harrisburg Stars Are Show
ing Regular Form; Pick

!. Lewisburg, Pa. Oct. 11.-After four
weeks of preliminary training. Buck
nelI's Varsity football squad is far
nolds has sent his squad through
three games and has conducted hard
scrimmages four times each week.
and still six places are unsettled.
Captain pro tenn. John Hendren and
Joe Kostos have clinched the half
back Jobs. Homan and Peale have
outdistanced the field for tackles and
McDermott is the present master Of
right end.
Hendren and Kostos. both veter-
ans. have won their places by virtue
os weight, speed, experience and hard
playing. Their nearest rivals are
Bradley and Garrison, both fresh
men.
Homan, a freshman from Allentown
Prep. and who lives in Philadelphia,
has been placed at left tackle. His
weight of 1913 pounds, and his strong
defense work marks him as the
choice for the job. Peale, while lack
ing weight for lineman, is playing
steadily at right tackle. johnson and
Morgan are the two runnersup Tor
the tackles. and either one of them
can fill the position with credit
Harrisburg Stars
McDermott stands head and shoul-
ders above the other end candidates.
His work at right end against Penn
sylvania stamps him as one of the
best ends that ever wore the Orange
and Blue. Since Joe Dent, former
Varsity end, has resumed his football
togs this week, he is likely candi-
date for the other wing.
Coach Reynolds has three good men
fighting for the fullback place. They
are Baldauf, the former Varsity man,
and Bowser and Hahn, both fresh
men. Hahn is out of the game for two
weeks with a damaged shoulder.
Elmer, Mangan, Dayhoff and
Hughes are the best of the quarter
backs. Elmer is hurt and can do lit
tie for another fortnight. Dayhof
wrenched his leg in scrimmage this
week, so that Mangan and Hughes
have the field to themselves at pres
ent.
A shift in linemen this week has
added considerable strength to the
forwards. Bihl, the former Harris
burg Tech. center, was put in the
pivotal position and Morrett, a fresh
man from Steelton, was placed at left
guard. Both men are playing smash
ing games in their new places.
