FOOTBALL RESULTS
ARE TRUE T0F0RM
Sweeping Victory OF Union A. A.
Over Shenandoah Was Only
Surprise on Schedule

Old Man Dope ran true to form on
the independent football field Saturday
and Sunday. This, Of course, IL gener-
ally speaking, for there may be some
specific incidents where the result. AZ
far as points are concerned. was a
surprise, but on the whole, things hap
pened as expected. II there IL one game
that comes under this classification It
is the Frankford -Holmesburg clash,
played at Holmesburg. -
That the clubs were On even match
was agreed by all who follow the in
dependent gridders. Frankford was con-
fident of winning and even went so far
as to lay odds In the betting, but the
iellowjackets learned, as have others,
that 1t Is a mighty tough task to cross
the Holmesburg goal.
In general team work. Frankford ex-
celled, for they placed the same eleven
on the field that has ueen playing all
year, while the burg had a half dozen
new faces in the game. The wonderful
! interference Of frankfort was remark
able. but their big fall down was a poor
showing in forward passes. In this re-
spect, Holmesburg excelled through the
work Of McGuckin. When Holmesburg
gets their signals a little better per-
fected they will spell trouble for their
opponents.
The big surprise of Saturday was the $40
Shenandoah. The Ail-Ainerl1ans simply ran
wild against the upstaters. and in the last
half threw the entire substitute team In

MohhEf had taken Scheerers place in the backfeld
W. and a big Improvement in Princeton's play was
noticeable after the kick off. After an exchange Of punts
the Tigers had the ball on Harvard's 46- yard line. From
there Murrey threw a perfect forward pass, which sailed
into the waiting arms Of Lourie. 1t was n great throw,
because the little halfback had to dodge three Harvard
linemen before making the heave.
Then Lourie stepped into the picture. Racing down
the sidehne he saw the ball coming. He kept on going,
but turned his head to keep his eye on the ball. Reach
ing up, he made the catch when on the IL yard line, and,
lodging a tackler, carried it over the goal line.
lourie used excellent headwork when making this
run. for he was not more than one yard away from the
sideline and was in danger of running out of bounds.
With the score tied, Harvard continued to play con-
sentative football. The same system was used, and this
almost lost the game. Near the end Of the period 1t was
Hervard's ball on her own 40-yard line, third down and
only six inches to 60. The quarterback evidently had
been told to kick on the third down when the ball was in
his own territory, and he did that very thing.
The ball was passed back and Stan Keck broke through
the line. Leaping in the air, he blocked the kick, partly
with his arm and partly with his face. The ball bounded
backward and two Harvard men were after it.
Recovering quickly, Keck blocked the man nearest
the ball and, as it rolled out Of bounds on the 4-yard
line. Lcgendre, rushing up, made n long dive and wound
his body around the ball. This gave Princeton the oval
on the 4 yard line. One line play Melted 2 yards and
the period was over.
When the sides changed goals It was Princeton's ball,
second down on the 2-yard line. Clarity plunged through
center, but was stopped three inches from the goal.
Then came a piece of excellent Judgment on the part
Of Lourie. Instead of directing another play at the
center of the line, as nine quarterbacks out of ten would
have done, he called for a plunge off tackle. Kcck opened
a hole large enough for an army truck to go through and
Clarity catapulted over the line. This was the final score
for the Tigers.
AFTER that Princeton tried TO play it safe, bit
n the last tortoard pass attack, ,ohich caught
Roper's men completely of their guard, saved the
day for Harvard.

Third. Ability to develop a working

Fourth. Ability to handle and in

test next Saturday.
At New Haven there will DO 10000
in the Yale bowl for the Harvard game,
and there will be at least 40, 900 around
the field when the Army and Navy
meet.
This means 105 200 for four of tho
big eastern games, and IL there was
only space enough these same games
would easily draw 300 900.

the point where it can match the 100,-

Keck's PLAYING q Big Feature

THE work Of Keck, the big Princeton tackle, stamps
l. him as one of the best linemen of the year. He was
all over the field, got down under punts ahead of his ends,
TACKLED savagely and took care of his side of the line. It
was he who blocked the kick and it was he who made
it possible for Princeton to recover the ball on the 4 yard
line and score the second touchdown. Without Keck,
Princeton would have been In a bad way.
The right side of the Tiger line, however, was rather
weak. Kane, Hubbard and Wood broke through repeatedly
and smeared plays before they reached the line of scrim-
mage. They also hurried all Of the forward passes.
. Harvard also has a great tackle in Sedswick. This
young man was not in the game very long and his work
on Saturday in no way compares with that of Keck's.
but he looks like one of the best linemen in years. He
has everything a lineman should have. Big, rangy, fast,
he knows how to use his hands and diagnoses plays
quickly.
He is q tackle who would bring joy to the heart Of
any football coach, for he seems to have been made to
order. When he got into the game Harvard took a big
brace and finished strong. The presence Of sedgwick and
those four forward passes were responsible for the tie
score.

would not have been trapped by Mrs.
Trapp if he had been more consider
ate Of that fact, SO that it is Trapp's
own fault that Mrs. Trap trapped
him in trapp.
The trap trapping case grew out
of a little Irritation in the Plankln-
ton arcade. There Trap met a girl
20 years old. She smiled at him and
the Irritation grew SO violent that
Trap and the girl went to the girls
room directly across the street from
the police station But the room
would not have been real trap, If
there had not been a Mrs. Trapp pre-
pared to trap her victims in their
self-made trap.
However, Mrs. Trapp saw her
Trapp and the young girl in the
Plankinton Arcade and followed them
to what proved to be their trap.
Then she called policeman and
Trap and the girl learned how rat
feels to be trapped in trap. They
were arrested and appeared before
Judge Page of the district co6rt. The
case was continued for week so
that the court could make an investi-
cation of the girl in the case, who,
it seems, came to Milwaukee from
