Coach Keogh Claims He
Has Players to Fill Va
cancies for 1920 Quaker
Varsity ELeuen
DESERVE GRID TITLE
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

nR. JOHN KEOGH arises and in a
loud, commanding voice claims the
freshman football championship from
Maine to Frisco and all way points.
There's not a first year eleven in the
country that could stand up before the
attack of the Penn yearlings If you
speak the Keoghesque language.
A good look through the well known
statistics proves that Doctor John has
well rooted foundation on which to
build his claim. The Red and Blue
freshmen pranced through their schedule
without a defeat and suffered only one
tie. A scOrcless deadlock was played
with Peddic Institute in the first game
of the season when Doctor John scarcely
had time to get acquainted with his
protegcs.
The Quaker Youngsters have handed
the sign to such aggregations as Mer :
Cersburg, Virginia Freshmen, Kiski
Williamson Trade. Ridley Park Alumni,
Staunton Military Academy and the
Cornell fresh.
The victory over Mercersburg was the
cleanest in decade. according to Jimmy
Curran. the Mercersburg director
This is quite compliment coming as
it does from Curran.
''lt was one of the greatest freshman
teams Pennsylvania ever had" said
Keogh as he grew enthusiastic.
Some one tried to get Jack an argu
ment on this point and referred to thu
freshman eleven of 1914.
That 1914 team was good one,
| too" Doctor John continued. They
had Hcinc Miller. Bill Quigley. RAY
Grant, Billy Stack, Jimmy Dewhurst
Bert Bell, Welch and a lot of othel
players who were real stars. Indivi-
! dually they had it on us, but my team
was the best as a team.
viii Forget Stars
"Why, we have players who vii
make the students forget about somt
of the stars that Pennsylvania loses this
year. This boy Thurman. at tackle, is
ready right now to step into Lew Lit
! ties position and Armstrong, who
! played end for US, can be turned into
a crackerjack tackle.
Thurman weighs 200 pounds ant
he's fast and a fighter. Armstrong il
bit too slow for varsity end, but
he'll fit in fine as tackle. For guards
we Il give the varsity next year Len e
han. Biben. Wrupkes and Grass. Len
han is the best one and he's ready fol
a varsity team.
Then, | have the center TO take Lud
Wray's place. His names Griffin, and
he captained my team. He came from
| Tome School and he is one fine football
player. He weighs only 100 pounds,
but he's dandy.
Farrell and Miller are two backs
who are good enough to make any var
| sity. Farrell is one of the best fresh :
men that ever came to Pennsylvania

Saturday-Camdcn 1T DE Neri. Trenton at
Reading.
Lou Sugarman is going to establish
an Eastern League basketball record
this week. The star forward is going
to play three games and all against
the one club and ono that a week ago
he was supposed to be a member Of,
It's Il long story TO be brief, after
the Friedman Sedran deal did not go
through. Suggy reverted back to the
North Phils, who have twice opposed
the Skeetcrs this week and lost. Now
Lou has been traded to the De Neri
team for Ernie Reich Bill Dark and
Dchnert.
This latest piece Of politics was NO
gotiatcd before the game at Camden
last evening, and Sugarman is the
property of De- Ncri. He will oppose
Camden when that team appears at
Musical Fund Hall on Saturday eve
ming. making three games in a week.
Manager Myers has signed Stretch
Meehan. foot 4 inch center man
from Seaton Hall. and he will be on
hand, but will not play.
Down Goes the Phils
North Philadelphia managed to dror
another game to Camden last evening,
when Bill Kennedy's crew won by the
score of 20 to %. Play was fast and
furious at times, but on more than one
occasion it was necessary for the visit
ors to resort to the privilege of time out
and the pace that the Skeeters mapped
out for them had telling effect.
The figures see sawed during the
greater part of the play, first one club
leading and then the other. The home
contingent had the better of the field
goals by 10 to I and only two men on
the pills made any kind of a show
ing at tossing 2-poipters. They were
Dunleayy and Grimstad with three
apiece, while the other lone basket went
to DIETRICH.

HE FOUGHT FOR ITALY.
Then Young Man Returned to United
 States and Old Business.

The pleasant hammered young man who was selling busts of Lincoln, Will son and Pershing about Mena Monday proved to be Corp. Sebastian Torti, late of the Italian army. The young man, whose home is at Des Moines, Ia, was modest about his record in the world war and it was only when ques- tioned that he consented to show the honorable discharge he had received from the Italian army officials. Cor poral Torti served with the field ar tillery from 1915, when Italy entered the war, until 1917, when he was dis charged because of illness. He was altogether year in service against the Austrians. He lived in the United States before the war and was at his birthplace, Lucca, or ivsit when the war broke out in 1914. Altho Italy was neutral at the time he believed his native country would get into the war and remained. When recovered from his illness he returned to the United States and took up his old work, that of making and selling sta- tuarv.

COLDS AND FLU
 BEST TREATED
 WITH CALOTADS
THE NEW PERFECTED CALOMEL THAT IS FREE FROM NAUSEA TING AND SALIyATING EFF FECTS.

Physicians or druggists will tell you that the best thing in the world for cold, grippe or influenza, is Cal otabs, the perfected calomel, that is free from nauseating and saiivating effects. Doctors have learned that other laxatives are uncertain and un- satisfactory for cold and grippe, but that they can count on Calotabs, the new calomel, that has all the liver benefits and none of the sting, to thor oughly arouse the liver and put the system in ideal condition to throw off the cold and prevent influenza and pneumonia.
 The best time to take Calotabs is at the first sign of cold. If you take it at the beginning you can cure a cold over night One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water-that's all In the morning you wake up feeling fine with hearty appetite for breakfast. Your cold has vanished and you may congratulate yourself that you have possibley pre- vented serious complications, for physicians tell us that neglected colds number their victims by the millions.
 For your protection, Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents. Your druggist will supply you, and your money giv- en back promptly and cheerfully if you are not delighted with this new form of calomel.-Adv. 43
