and Bridesburg Seeks Game
With YeIlowjacksts

This is the open season for football
challenges among professional football
elevens. No one is disputing the fact
that the Union A. A. Is the best eleven
bereabouts, but Franhford claims they
have made The best record and should
be given q chance to prove they are the
runners. up.
Manager Howard Bowker points to
his teams 10.to.8 triumph over Con.
shohocken and a record Of 250 points
for the season against thirteen for the
opposition. Bowker elaine Frankford
outplayed Holmesburg in their 90
clash, but Pop 0erker. Of the burg,
says Frankford did not meet any teams
Of the caliber Of the Blue Stars or Pen

A. at Phoenixville, Frankford or the
Juddy Bruins, Of Bridesburg, comes
along with a challenge to Frankford.
Manager Bowkcr has not as yet said
whether he will accept the Bridesbure

Gets New Players
Bridesburs has taken a page out Of
the book Of some Of the other big clubs
and yesterday had three. stars from
western teams in the lineup. As
result the uptowners played the best
game OF the season and walloped
Manayunk, 40 to o.
The season Is rapidly drawing to q
close, and Thanksgiving Day will wind

battle.
, At Holmesburg the home team win
take on Bridesburg, and the latter en-
poets to give their neighboring rivals
q good game as they have some new
men. Frankford was scheduled with
the Blue Stars, but the Bethlehem club

FIVE CENTRAL MEN ON
ALL-SCHOLASTIC TEAM
Fred S,oeet, Vest Phiuy
Fullback, Is Honored
With Captaincy Of 1920
Mythical Eleven.
DECKING On all scholastic team this

DECKING an all scholastic team this
i year seems far more easy task
than Il was at this time last season.
This season, from the start until after
the Central Northeast game on Satur..
day afternoon, the men who are placed
on the All Scholastic eleven, have been
the shining lights Of their respective
teams.
Five of the men, who have won
places because Of their mcritorious work,
are leaders Of the various scholastic
elevens, while five others are members
Of the champion Central High eleven.
The fve captains who are given
places are Jake Kaufman, leader OF
DR.. Matthew G: o'Brlen's three year
champions; Freddy Sweet, OF West
iectsd as captain OF the All. Scholastic
team: Halberstadt, Of Germantown
High Smythe, Of Frankford High, and
Beauchamp, Of Northeast.
Sweet Big Star ,
Freddy Sweet, without a doubt, has
been the real star Of the scholastic sea
son. His playing was not Of the sen I.
sational sort, but more Of the straight
football play and his headwork and
direction Of the West Philly High, gave
the speed boys second place In the
league. II was only the heavy Centra!
High line that kept the Orange, and
Blue from winning the championship.
Sweet and Pavitt, Of Central, were
considered to be about on par for the
honors of getting the place and leading
the team previous to the West Phiily-
Central game, but In this contest the
western leader played rings around the
Central boy, who is to go to Princeton
when he leaves the Broad and Sreen
streets high school.
burg, Of Central, and Captain Beau
champ, Of Northeast, are the selections.
Tractenburg, who. was a member OF the
second Central team Inst year, started
with a rush this season, and from the
frst game until the last he wns re.
sponsible for the great number Of points
made by Central.
Beauchamp Is second only to Trncten .
burg az q halfback. The former played
sensational and sterling football In the
early games for Northeast, but he was
injured In practice just before the West
Philadelphia game.
On Saturday against Central, how.
ever, Beauchamp was In for the full
rams, and although he was hurt three
times be played HIS usual steady game
Hnlbcrstadt at Quarter
Selecting the quarterback was the
ha rdest Job of all, for there were no less
than three who were worthy Of the
honor. Captain Halberstadt, Of Ger
mantown High, is given the place over
Dick Wells, the Central star, and
Herbie Buckley, Of West Philadelphia.
Central High comes In for most OF
the glory on the line. The Central team.

Harvard Used Old Stuff

MALES unexpected showing against Harvard has
caused quite little talk In these parts and while
Blue is given full credit for Its wonderful work
Of the experts believe that Harvard did open
as much it should In other words Il Is said that
coaches, instead Of using the formations which
~ been held back for this game, depended the old
u and saved the other plays for next year.
Nothing used The old split play, hidden
oil attack and the forward pass, which sverted defeat
In the Princeton game but nothing else The
Crimson satisfied to win BY feet instead Of forty
or fifty points.
The Yale team 80 per cent better than in the
Princeton game but still showed glaring weaknesses The
tackng improved but could not be called high class The
interrence better but the have lot to learn
04cnsively the Blue wocfuly weak but on the de-
bepse Il stronger than

lIseemed II he ready to stick out his arms and
catch the oval but the minute evidently fearing
be had misjudged it, stepped back. The ball bounded
% yards beyond him. where q Yale man fell it. This
arried play into Yalcs territory and took lot of
y pirit out of the New Haven boys.
Harvard found it impossible to score although the

eligible forward passes we'll covered Were it
for the drop kicking Of Horween and Buell.

were Penn, Lehigh, Washington and
Jefferson and Penn State.
II was killing schedule for any
team.
Penn State faced no easy going
journey with Dartmouth, Penn, Ne.
braska, Lehigh and Pittsburgh, among
others. But her road wasn't as tough
a. Pitts.
Cornell and Pennsylvania
CIL DOBIE should finish his first
~ year at Cornell with only one de-
feat--that by Dartmouth.
Pennsylvania. after disastrous year,
has only the thinnest sort Of chance to
stop Cornell In the coming contest, al
though Penn is generally at her best in
these Cornell jubilees. And Cornell is
generally at her worst.
But under Dobie's instruction Cor
nell. despite her heavy footed showing
against Dartniouth's strong team, Is
almost sure to win.
Penn Is another eleven that took on
more than any team can carry.
Fancy, II you happen to be fancier,
one team meeting Swarthmore, Lafay
ette, V. NJ. l.. Penn State, Pittsburgh
Dartmouth, Columbia and Cornell.
V. M. I. has a powerful machine
one of the strongest in the country.
But to draw Penn State, Pittsburgh
and Dartmouth In q row is enough te
cut the feet out from under any ordinary
lineup.
