FRANKFORT MEETS
HOLMESBURG NOV. 8
Strong Suburban EIevens. to
Play for Independent Foot
ball Championship
VINC0ME ALSO IN SERIES

Frankford A. A. and Holmesburg will
meet for the independent championship
of eastern Pennsylvania on Frankford' $
grounds on Saturday, November s.
Details of the game and officials have
been decided upon, and the conflict
promises TO be the most bitter and thrill
ing yet staged between these old rivals.
For several years Frankford A.~al .
has walked away with the amateur
championship of this section, and
Holmcsburg, in turn, has found little
difficulty in annexing the professional
championship.
Both teams have gone through sea
son after season with no defeats, ex-
cept those charged against each other.
10 date, HOlmesburg has the edge in
victories, but Frankford is putting an
exceptionally strong and game team on
the gridiren this year and expects To
collect, with interest, for some of the
past setbacks.
Neither team anticipates much diff
Guilty in winning the championship of
its respective class. Vincome looms
up as the strong professional team to
dispute Holmesburg's claim, but the
big team from the burg" has line up
made up almost entirely Of former col
legiate stars and expects to repeat the
victories of former years.
Frankford has not passed up Vim
come, either. so at the end of the three
cornered series, the independent cham
pionship will not be in dispute. Frank
ford meets the West phiIadplnhio og-
gregation the Saturday after the
Holmesburg game, on Frankford's s
grounds.

Penn'S ELoUen
Meets BuckneLL

Continued From Page Ono
compared with Bell, Hopper, Little.
Miller, Derr and the rest of the chaps
who now hold the destiny of Pennsyl-
vania prestige.
For no matter how famous and
splendid have been the achievements of
Old Penn in the past, it is up to the
boys of the present to win or lose. No
team ever won on reputation. But Penn
has the reputation right now through
the stories of its veterans and it's up
to them to prove that their ability, is
not press agent eXaggeration.
Coach Folweill has given his boys
their final lecture. He has selected his
first lineup. He said that the eleven
men who will start the ball rolling are
not the eleven best men on the squad,
but that they are eleven of the best.
They are going out to show that they
are the best and to win permanent po-
sitions on the team.
The selection of the ends has fallen
to Bud Hopper, all-American end Of
last year; and Heine Miller, captain
and star of the Red and Blue two sea
sons ago. The tackle posts are left to
Johnny Titzel, a substitute tackle of
three years past; and Lou Little, an
other veteran of 1916 and rated as one
of the best tackles in collegiate ranks.
NeyIon at Guard
The guard territory will be taken
care of by Jim Neylon, captain of last
years S. A. 4. c. eleven, and Carl
Thomas, 1917 tackle and former Central
High School star. At center will be
the tried and sturdy veteran, Lud Wray,
a pivot man who ranks with the best.
One Of the best field generals in the
history of Penn football, Bert Bell, will
be the quarterback. Benn Derr, who
used to crack the most powerful lines
in 1916, is one of the halves and Hobey
Light, recognized as one of the best
defensive and offensive backs in the
country, will be fullback.
Only One Newcomer
The only newcomer who has been
able to break into the array of vet
erans is Bots Bruner, former Lehigh
sprinter and back, who has been placed
at half. Bruner has not been tried in
a Penn football fight, but his showing
in the scrimmages has been good enough
to warrant a trial.
Little is known of the material that
Coach Pete Reynolds, former Syracuse
mentor, has brought from Lewisburg
Graduate Manager Worse, of Bucknell,
however, is sure that the upstate boys
will put up a great fight with the Red
and Blue. There was a large squad
of sixty five candidates for the Buck
nell team, so that Coach Reynolds
should have been able to pick out eleven
! good men.

KRAMER VICTOR OVER
BORRELL AT CAMBRIA
Milwaukee MiddIeweight Too
Clever for Kensington Boxer
in\Rough Match

Joe Borrell is disappointed today. He
thought yhe could, but he didn't win
from Billy Kramer, of Milwaukee, at
the Cambria last night. Borrell tried
hard to show superior form, but the
good looking, blonde, rosy checked Beau
Brummel from the West was too fast.
His cleverness stood out by far over
the ruggedness of Borrell, who appar-
emily was slow because of his long lay
off. 1t was a rough bout, with Kramer
doing most of the roughing-up of Bor-
rel's features. Bills left iab was work
ing to nicely.
Puggy Lee won from Young Jeffries,
clown boxer from New York, who
didn't clown so much after the third
round because of the lacing he was suf-
fering. In the other bouts George Ward
heat George Christian, Tommy Cleary
ontfought Tommy Murray, and Charley
O'Neil stopped Knockout Riley in four
rounds.

GOLFERS ASK DEFINITION
OF LINKS TERM "TE7E DOPE'
Because Never Seems to Work Out Particularly the
Local Links Season Lately When Upsets Are Many
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

TT a fellcr sticks to science he's gently
sitting pretty.
There are only two birds on which
science seems to act with fare up and
. vicious back kick.
One is the weather man.
The other is Father Grandoldope.
Neither ever scored much in the box
score.
Particularly the dope. This has been
taken by the back OF the neck and
shaken from stem to stern, till it would
seem as if the old boy would bow him
self TO rear seat.
Now for the figures in golf, for in
stance.
They figured the dope carefully and
with all scientific precaution at Oak
mont. In the west and New York,
/, where they figure this stuff the most,
Chick Evans and Francis Ouimet, Jerry
Travers and Bob Gardner would have
such an edge that it was waste OF
expense money for the rest TO even aD-
pear.
Did this work out?
1t did not.
Had the scientific dope figured Dave
Heron? 1t had not.
But belted up as the national cham
pion, the dope bowed in homage at the
feet of the champ, saying here was
some little golfer.
Has Heron lived up to his honors
and the proper dope?
Not according to Smoky City dis
matches. which claim that he has beer
w'alloped since, in sundry and minoI
matches.
But the strangest wabblings of tht
, dope have been the precarious play OF

1t did not!'
Every tourney has brought out a new
star. The dope has been sadly razzled
The statisticians in golf, who follow
the play and place their confidence in
the figures when they buy their chances
in the pools, have lost heaps this year,
particularly at the national, when the
dope ran wild and thousands of dollars
were contributed to the person who
bought up Dave Heron.
This person didn't think to have a
chance till things began Strengthening

LITTLE LEAGUERS
IN FINAL CLASHES
Championship Of the Main Line
and Montgomery County League
to Be Decided
ALL CLUBS ARE CONFIDENT

The baseball championship Of Phila %
delphia's two most prominent leagues
will be decided this afternoon. They are
the Montgomery county and Main Line
organizations and the fans Of four clubs
are confident that their favorites will
cop the decision.
The winner of the Montgomery county
gonfalon will be decided between Sou
derton and Amber and the scene of the
combat will be at Norristown, that
ground having been chosen by President
Harold G. Pike
Play is scheduled to begin at 4 p. m.
During the season, both cOntenders won
eighteen and lost six, but n review OF
the games played shows that Souderton
has a big advantage over their rivals,
innsmuch as they have beaten Amber
four times or on every occasion in
which they came together. Two defeats
for Soudcrton, one by Norristown, the
other by DisStou, tied the race at the
finish.
The Strawbridge & Clothier grounds
will be the scene of the third and con =
Guiding clash in the series to determine
the Main Line League winner. Dobson
won the first clash and Lansdowne came
back strong last Saturday and easily
corped the verdict. Each club is con
tident of victory.
Both Of the previous games have re-
| suited in shutouts. The Spbson win was
by the score of 20 and the victory OF
lIansdownewas achieved by so. IT looks
like another battle between Rube Cham
bcrs and Bill GrevclI.

tic League football championship. will
retain this title for the season of 1920
according to Coach DR.. O'Bricn and
others, interested in the grid pastimc
sHound Broad and Green streets. It is
natural for crimson and gold enthus-
lasts to be confident of their eleven. for
football usually is Central's biggest
athletic forte.
A squad of about fifty husky, heavy
and big youngsters have been diligently

swell bunch of footballcrs and has had
little difficulty making n selection for
the opening game, scheduled for next
Saturday against Catholic High School.

left guard, tips the beam at 215. Rus
sell, left end, is the lightest lineman,
weighing 100 pounds, while the other
men weigh between 10 and 1856 pounds.
Doctor O'Brien probably will an

game, as follows:
VI, Russell, left end; Kaufman. left tackle
man, right guard; b. Lieberman, riSh,
tackle ~ Goldstein, right end: Wells, quarter.
hafback: Eddows. fullback.
Eddows is captain of the eleven and
this will be his second year on the
varsity. Other veterans are Kaufman,
Wallace, Harris and Bennett. Saund
ers, another veteran, will get into the
lineup probably the latter part of
October.
Husky Backfield
With Wells, 16O pounds; Harris and
Bennett, each 175 pounds, and Eddows.
$50 pounds, Central High has a rather
heavy backfeld, one a lot heavier than
that of most college teams. This quar-.
tet has been showing a lot Of speed. too.
