GERMANTOWN

has about clinched the lett guard posi-
tton for the season.
Halberstadt, who played all last year
in the back field, will lead the German
town team. He will play at quarter and
call the signals. while for the halfs
Henry and Kaufman are the probable
selections. The latter Is new man,
but Henry broke into tie lineup dur
ing several of the games last season.
Shoemaker, another veteran" from
last year, has been chosen for the full
back position. while Captain Ebbie Cor
nog, who has the distinction of being
the heaviest player in the squad, win
hold down his regular berth at right
100, will probably be the heaviest man
to enter the opening game tomorrow
unless West Philly calls on some of its
heavy subs.
HenkeIS and Ash. both veterans"
will play the ends. It is a singular CO
incidence that both of these boys have
brothers who are playing on the Ger
mantOwn Academy team.
Weldon, who had little experience
last year, will play the other guard
position, while Evans and Whitney will
hold down the jobs at tackles. Rhoad,
O regular last season, plays at center.
Bates May Play
There Is one change that may be
made in the list, If the eligibility re-
ports which are issued today, are ia =
vorable. Bates, the Northeast star, who
was elected to lead the Red and Black
boys ths season, is now at German
town High, and he will play at end IL
he is successful with his reports. He
will take Ash's place.
The opening game was to have been
played on the Germantown High field,
but as the Clivedens have no place suit
able for the game they may transfer 1t
to Houston Field If arrangements can
be made with the Central High authori-
ties, or it may be played or the Ger
mantown Academy team s gridiron, the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Athletic Association grounds at Tabor.
The Frankford High and the North =
east team will play their first league
game on Friday.

nine, Levinsky regained his equilibrium
and his feet, backed clear across the
ring and fell into q clinch when Car.
pentier caught up with him. Then tho
big crowd was dumfounded. Iseyinsky
went down without being hit. He took
eight" and after getting up, the bell
sounded few seconds later.
Levinsky showed little real form IN
the third round. Carpenter was taking
things easily, walked in in crouched
position, permitted the Philadelphian .

evidently was method in Georges plan.
He wanted Levinsky to open up, to take

in the Frenchman's trap. and all the

of chances.
The fourth round was short. Car.
pentier waited for Levinsky to lead.
But when Barney continued his careful
style, Carpenter went to it, backed
Barney into neutral corner and un.
corked flock of punches at Barney's
head. 1t was a right ,hander on the chin
that dropped Levinsky to sitting posi-.
tion. And it was while Barney was in
this predicamcnt. cropping for the ropes
and making q feeble effort to get Up,

Long Time Leaving
1t was at least five minutes before
Levinsky was able to leave the ring.
and then he had to be assisted from his
corner to his dressing room.
Carpenter weighed in at 1T0T
pounds while Levinsky tipped the beam
at 1T5.
The fans in attendance may not have
known it, but Champion Dempsey was
among those there. to witness the Amer.

DREXEL INSTITUTE
READY FOR OPENER
Coach McAvoy Will Send Strong
Team Against Albright
Next Saturday

A team comparatively new to COL
legiate ranks will take the field next
Saturday when Drexel Institute plays
Albright at Myerstown. Last year
Drexel was represented by a football
team, but 1t was not the success which
was hoped for. However, it provided
nucleus about which a strong team
has been built this year.
The showing of the team so far this
year has reflected credit upon the new
athletic coach--William J. McAvoy, or
big Bill' McAvoy, as he is more
familiarly known. McAvoy is an an
exponent Of clean, hard football, and
has succeeded in installing the same
ideas into the squad at Drexel. He was
the All-American selection for half
back In 1905, 1907 and 1908 while
playing with Lafayette. After leaving
Lafayette he became athletic director
at Delaware College. In the service
two years, he coached at Lafayette last
year and is now in full charge of ath-
letics at Drexel.
Practice has been held for the past
three weeks at the Strawbridge
Clothier field, Sixty third and Walnut
streets. 4 we'll nodded team has been
deyelopcd. The center Of the line Is
heavy, the ends are fast and sure tack
lcrs. while the backfield is versatile.
The wings are well taken care OF by
Peterson and Boardman. Peterson, who
is letter man from last years team,
Is fast and aggressive, quick at getung
down the field under punts and sure on
forward passes. Boardman hairs from
Northeast High. He is playing his tirst
year at Drexel. having matriculated at
Iehigh last fall.
Rauch and Payne are two husky
tackles who are good at opening holes
for the back field This Is Rauch S
second year on the team, while Payne
Is playing his first year. The center
is flankcd on either side by Matthews
and Mackin, two husky guards. Mat
thews was on the team last year.
Mackin Is a freshman.
A competent snapper back is Skow-
chOd, a former Atlantic City iigh
School lad. Mateer is a quarterback
of no mean ability. He selects his
plays wisely and directs the team IN
the most creditablc manner. Last year
Matecr was substitute, but Coach
McAvoy was quick to realize his ability
and he has been calling signals 80 far
this season.
The two halfbacks are Carroll and
Becher, the former 'bear" on plow-
ing through the line, while Belcher's
speciality is skirting the ends. Both
are small but heavy set and are hard
to stop.
George Crichton is fullback and cap
tain of the team. Cr!chton, who is play
ing his second year on the team, Is
versatile player being a natural leader,
handling the kicking and forward pass
ing in addition to being a clever open |
| fiP'A runner.
The team is we'll fortified in substi
tutes. Adams, tackle Of last year
will keep some one hustling for his Job
| as will Holland, last years center
/ bartholomew, who was on the squa(
! last year, is also making strong bio
for a position. Coyne is n halfbRci
of varsity caliber and Hansen will bear
watching. The other most likely look
| ing candidates are Morgan, Callan
Shuman, Green, Diginis, Thomas
schlenzig, Kelly, Fletcher, Knsuf
Lewis, Jones, Tulchinsky and Price.

ainbel trophy and the championship Of
the Interscholastic League on the grid
Iron tomorrow.
the Central High School eleven last
wear seem to have slight advantage
over the Clivedens, who were the ath-
lstics of the league and finished in the
collar.
Az West Philadelphia since the open
Eng game of the season with the Swarth-
more team last Friday, Coach Warren
Weller has been devoting his time to
working out the faults that cost the
West Philly team a victory.
AT the start Of the season Weller had
about sixty boys out for the team, but,
As there were seven "veterans" from
last years squad in the number, he
soon began reducing the list.
These seven players from last year,
Captain Sweet, Heintz, Witherow and
Stein, members OF the backhcld: lr-
vine. end; Matthias, guard, and Beis-
wanxer, center-all have made this
years team, and will appear in the
lineup against Germantown.
Captain Sweet, who plays at full
back, was the star III many eulnes ldsJ
year, and it was his sensational play
ing that held down the score of the
game with Central High which virtually
decided the championship.
XHeintz and Stein, the two hnlfbacks,
are also first class players, especially
on the offeuse.
Witherow, the quarterback. is the
smallest and lightest man on the team,
but this is no handicap, for he Is In there
fghting in every game.
Vacancies In Line
II was in the line that the four vacan-
ciea occurred and there was little trou-
BE for Coach Weller to till these gaps,
for he had plenty Of good material.
The first new man 10 clinrh berth

right end. During practice at the Kirk =
bride Field about three weeks ago White
WINS hurt in a scrimmage and was out
AZ the game for about ten days, but he
d back in fighting form and will be in
the lineup against Germantown.
Kelly and Richmond, both new msp
have landed the tackle jobs, and up
10 the present time they have shown real
ability In getting the runners. Weller

The Time Has Come, Remarked the Walrus

TTNHE time has for another comparison between
L American and National League pitching At first it
said that the Heyder circuit had it all over the
johnson league but that after Grimes Smith had
scored impressive victories in Brooklyn turning back the
Cleveland clouters with little difficulty. Speakers men
did not hit in those games and result were trimmed
Now 1t is different and opinion has changed The best
pitching staff in the National League cracked in thou
sand pieces before the onslaught Of the American League
champions and looked helpless in three of the games
On Monday Sherrod Smith pitched Of the games
of his but his companions could any
for him. Consequently he licked to 0.
Cleveland had three pitchers who delivered Coyel-
eske did the iron man stunt and took three games
Bagby and Mails the other In fact, they were the
only dependable hurlers the team. Bagby was lucky
to get away with freak ball game where thirteen hits
yielded but Mails and Covey delivered goods
Mails especially effective in his battle with Smith
He allowed but three hits.
Brooklyn could hit in pnches and could not score
any They lost the first game to l. and won the
next two to and to 1. In Cleveland they dropped
four in by the scores Of to 1, to /, 1 to 0
and to 0.
The Indians scored twenty against eight for
the Dodgers in games In Cleveland Robbe's men
scored only two in thirty six innings while the
locals gathered seventeen in thirty two innings.
