JESSE BURKETT not
TO COACH HOLY CROSS

Jesse Burkett, who has managed sew
eral league teams including Hartford,
and who, by reason of his expert
coaching skill has been responsible in
developing several crack teams for Holy
Cross, is lost to the Purple as mentor
of the diamond pastime
1t is now definitely understood that
Burkett will not return to Holy Cross
and instead will work for the manage
ment of the New York National League
club in the capacity of coach and scout.
Burkett secuted for the Giants the
past season and toward the close of the
season took charge of the rookie play
ers that reported to the New York
club. Every morning he would take the
diamond aspirants into tow at the Polo
Grounds and hand them out valuable
pointers Manager McGraw has great
respect for Burkett's knowledge of the
game and believes that he can be uesd
to good advantage by the club.
1t was on Burkett's recommendation
that the Giants agreed to buy Roy
Grimes, the inhelder from Bridgeport
While at Holy Cross, Burkett sent up
the Giants Pitcher Ryan, and Outheld-
ers Statz and Bowen, all of whom are
other players whom Burketf brought
out is Eddie Gill, the pitcher, who was
signed up. by the Washington Amer
leans and who pitched for Jersey City
in the International league the past sea-
son.
1t is believed that Burkett's successor
at Holy Cross will be Jack Barry, form
er manager Of the Boston Red Sox and
at one time a member Of the famous
100000 infie1d of the Philadelphia
Athletics Barry is engaged in the au-
tomobile business in Worcester.

GLEN WARMERS PROTEGES
TIED BY SYRACUSE

Syracuse and Pittsburgh fought TO a
to tie, last Saturday, in one of the
best football games ever played at
Syracuse.
Pittsburgh scored its touchdown early
in the FIRST quarter, Hewitt, the Panther
ful1back, being pushed over the line for
the six points after fr1n1b1es by SYRIA
cuse backs had given Pitt the ball close
to the Syracuse goal line. Davies kick
ed the goal.
Syracuse evened the count in the third
quarter when Gulick, husky SOrange
tackle, scooped up tumble by Ander-
son of Pittsburgh and raced over the
line for a touchdown. Abbott kicked
the goal.
The game was played in heaTy
downpour of rain which made good
football practically impossible. Wet and
slippery, the ball was fumbled contint-
teams.

SYRACUSE GEORGETOWN
GAME AT SPRINGFIELD

The Syracuse University eleven and
the Georgetown team will clash Thanks

tons now IN progress, nateria1ize.
A group of prominent business men
is behind the scheme to stage the big
attraction in the City of Homes.
AS both universities are represented
with formidable array of players this
season, this game no doubt would rival
in interest the contest staged at the
Eastern. States Exposition Grounds in
1916, when Syracuse and Dartmouth
engaged in a thrilling battle in which
the Big Green team was victorious, 10
to 10. 1t was originally planned by the
men supporting the attraction to secure
Dartmouth to face the Syracuse team,
but it was discovered that the Green
eleven was not available on that date.
Following the game with Brown in
Boston, November 20, Coach Spears
players entrain for the Pacific coast,
where they will meet the University
of Washington at Seattle on the fol-
lowing Saturday.
If Syracuse and Georgetown favor
the idea of opposing each other at
Springfield, the group of men behind
the project will be ready to put on the
rangements have already been made to
increase the seating capacity of the

LARRY BANKART NOT
ON YALE COACHING STAFF

The Yale coaches are unable to ac-
count for a story to the effect that Larry
Bankart, the former Colgate coach, had
been assisting in some way or other in
the Yale campaign. Head Coach Tad
Jones said that he did not know how
to account for the story except that he
had played quarterback at Exeter when
Reginald Bankart was center rush there,
and was on friendly terms with Reg
inald. The coaches insist that Larry
Bankart has not visited the Yale staff
or been connected with the Yale cam
paign in any way.

WILLIAMS A. c. WIN
ALL-WATERBURY'S

Mickey O'Connor took the Williams
football team to Waterbury last Sum
day, and after hard and rough strug-
gle, came out of the fray with a to 0
victory. About $500 fans, including a
large following of the Williams, were
on hand and all were a unit in saying
it was the best game ever played nj
the Brass City.
The Williams scored their touchdown
early in the game after Ennis of Wa
terbury had fumb1ed on the 25-yard
line, the ball being recovered by Brad
ford, and by steady smashing through
the heavy forward rush of the Water
bury team, the locals tailed with K1ap-
roth carrying the ball over for a
touchdown.
The Waterbury footballists gained a
first down in the first part of the game
when the Williams suffered penalties
and in the last period gained the second
and third first down, when-Forst heav-
ed a forward pass to HALEY, for IS
yards.
! Evidences of the roughness of the
struggle were shown as the PLAYERS
emerged from the playing field with Toe
Malone, the Williams big tackle, suf-
terlng the worst injuries, leaving the
field with broken nose.
HALEY, the former star end of the
Fort S1octn eleven of three years ago,
played brilliant game for the Water
bury outfit, while "Bull'' Keenan,, the
giant linesman of Waterbury, got many
tackles during the course of the game.
but Forst, the a11-state fr11back Of last
year, and former American Chain
company star, failed to advance against
the locals for any gains, his best gain
being for four yards.
The Williams 1inemen, although out
weighed by the heavy Waterbury line,
played an exceptionally good game
Quinn, K1approth and Peterson featured
IN carrying the ball for the locals. Pet
erson replaced Klapproth and advanced
the ball for rs yards in three rushes in
the last period, while Shatzman also
contributed to the ground gained at this
juncture.

kicked one Of the Boston players IN the
head while the latter was on the ground
with the ball Although Walker could
not have deliberately resorted to such
brutal tactics the action brought forth a
storm of Kisses from the Boston root
ers. Yale was penalized IS yards but
there was holding on Boston's part on
the same play and the penalty was
el.s1aiized, neither side being set back.
The Boston player, Kennedy, was not
hurt sufficiently to be taken out of the
game.
Football experts, commenting on the
game, declared that one of the out
standing features was the superiority
of Jack Heaphy over Capt. Tim Gala
han as a center. Heaphy's play Satur-
day eliminates Callahan as All-Ameri-
can center when the selection is made
