New York, Oct. IS.-Approaching
the half way mark in the 1920 foot
ball season all the big Eastern
elevens except Yale are still
punched.
Centre College is running along
the same form that won the cham
pionship of the South last season
but as yet the Danville wizards
have not met any real opposition.
Saturday was expected to shake
the sieve in the East for the first
time at Syracuse but Pittsburgh
and the Orange eleven battled to
tie and the situation remained
unchanged.
Of the Western elevens Wiscon-
sins victory over Northwestern
gives her a slight advantage mas
much as Northwestern had defeated
Minnesota the week previous.
Penn shows CIn.s.
Harvard and Princeton won so
easily against weak opposition that
the critics had no opportunity to
pick from them. Penn and Dart
mouth, however, showed real form
in defeating Lafayette and Holy
Cross.
Yale presented a sorry plight
while losing to Boston College. The

EASTERN QUITSLIGHTLEAGUE;
OTHERS TO FINISH SCHEDUL E

Eastern High School withdrew
from the 135-pound league of the
Inter High School Athletic Associa-
tion yesterday, following a squabble
over the weight agreement in which
1t was decided to limit all players
on the 135-pound teams to a maxi
mum weight of 1875 pounds \rather
than holding the original rule of a
135-pound average for the teams.
Central, Technical and Western
are the only representatives left in
the Limited League" but officials
announced last night they would
continue their schedules regardless.
However, the season opener, sched-
uled between Central and Western
for this afternoon was postponed
indefinitely, pending a readjustment
of the schedule to the three-team
loop. Business High is not entered
in the league.
I'VE went into the 1S5-pound
league with the understanding that
the teams were to be held to an
average of 1856 pounds rather than
that no man should weigh more
than 1875 pounds" H. E. Warner,
Eastern faculty representative, de-
clared last night. Our enrolment
Will not allow us to possibly place
team in the field with no man
weighing more than 1876 pounds.
There would be no incentive for the
men to play for we would not be
able to gather enough experienced
players all weighing under 135
pounds to compete" he explained.
Tech and Central will meet in
the first game of the league next
Tuesday as the schedule now stands.
Central and Western have teams in
this class organized for the last
week and are ready to take the
field. Central "Limiteds" held their
organization session and initial
practice yesterday afternoon. John
son will lead the Centrals. Good
man, Yost, Claridge, Thurteli,

Holmes, Dunlop and Rand are other

tackled poorly and handled the ball
terribly.
Ragged football was shown in
surprising quantities for this period
of the season in many Of the East
ern games. Fumbling seemed to
exist in the proportion OF an cpl
demic. Poor handling of the ball
resulted in the defeat Of Yale and
Lafayette and caused both counters
in the Syracuse-Pitt game.
Race Narrows This Week.
This weeks battles are almost
sure to leave a few Contenders by
the wayside.
In the East Yale starts success

for the first great intersectionsl
contest of the season: Princeton bat
ties the Navy; Colgate and Cornell
fight it out: Syracuse and Dart

Georgia Tech have their annual
East-South intersectional tilt. Eyes
of the west will be focused on Co

clever. He can take the offensive,
and if crowded or in danger can
properly defend himself. He knows
how to feint, and after making an
opening can take advantage of same

he thinks quickly and knows every

Mental suggestion, always a big
factor, when one opines on matters

They forgot that the bout started out
with Carpenter tightly covered, and
not until he served Levinsky several
courses of rip-roaring smashes to
body and head, not till he beat him
into a state of helplessness did
Georges venture his open style, TAX
ing chances; in fact, disregarded
Levinsky'e punches.
What would Dempsey do to him? ?
that was the constant mental and
oral query as Georges was observed
leaving himself wide open.
My answer is that Dempsey would
do nothing to Carpenter because
the French fighter would not be
wide open.
He has twenty styles and he
would adopt one of the others.
Remember my prediction arrived
at after carefully studying both men.
Georges Carpenter will be the
next worlds champion.

Standing far above the work of
the other teams in Saturdays game
were the powerful showings Of Illi-
nois. last years title winner, and
Wisconsin.
Illinois, in a 20-to-3 victory over
Iowa, which the previous week had
defeated Indiana, showed a driving
attack supported by defense
which was impregnable to the
Hawkeyes. Iowa's widely adyer-
tised diversity of attack and for
ward pass efficiency failed to ma
terialize against the nlini.
Ranking next to the Illinois
showing, probably, was the exhibit
tion of strength Wisconsin gave in
defeating Northwestern, 81 to 7.
The Purple eleven defeated Mime
sofa the week before in what then
was considered the biggest upset
in recent years, but Indiana's vic
tory over the Gophers yesterday,
Fl to Z, was thought by many to
Indicate that the Northwestern vic
tory was due more to Minnesota
weakness than Purple strength.
Wisconsin, however, showed an
almost perfect attack with cross
bucks delayed and forward passes
predominant, and brought Coach
John Richards's eleven into the
group of championship possibilities.
Ohio States 17-to-0 defeat of Pur-
due caused little surprise, for the
6oilermakers had lost to Chicago,
20 to 0, the previous week. Michi-
gan showed strong defense in pill
ing up 35 points against the Michi-
gan Aggies, a nonconference elev-
en-. Michigan faces it's first Con-
ference test next week against Illi-
nois. Chicago gave a great exhi-
bition of forward passing in defeat
ing Wabash, Al to 0.
Ohio State now is preparing for
the test with Wisconsin next week.
which probably will eliminate one
or the other from the race.

Clean Sweep Necessary.


The Lssker plan Of baseball con-
troll, replacing the National Com
mission with a civilian commission
TO supervise the game, appears to
be certain Of success. When first
proposed IL won instant favor from
the majority Of the club owners and
from the fans in general The idea
of having men OF standing and
ability who were not fnsnciaIlyInter-
ested in any OF the clubs as the
high court OF baseball seems TO be
the one way TO restore the public
confidence, which was badly shaken
when IL took a year for the 1918
world series scandal 70 leak out.
Heydler, by his courageous and
popular stand in regard 70 putting
an end to crookedness in the ranks
of professional ball, appears to be
sUperseding Ban johnson as the big
man Of baseball. Perhaps the presi-
dent Of the American League real
izes this fact

submits the following:
What is the penalty for rough
ing a kicker? ! was always under
the impression that the offense
called for l5-ysrd penalty and the
disqualification OF the offending
/ player. What do the rules say"
The fans surmise is correct. For
the mere act Of running into
kicker the penalty is but yards.
Roughing the man who is defense
less after kicking the ball is COW
iered by Rule NNIII. Section ?. which
fixes the penalty as loss Of Is yards

be CLEANED from the code book IL
is not left to the discretion Of the
referee whether the loss Of IS yards
shall be imposed and the disqualih-

Can't you take me with you, mate,
For a holiday?
Don't you think il you would try
With a bribe for Fate,
You might lead me back again
Through the Morning Gate? ?
Can't you lead me back again
Down the path of gold,
Where the yellow sunlight drifts
Where the sky is morning blue,
As in days of old?
And. the road along
Every bird in every tree
Is singing you a song!
Can't you take me by the hand,
Leading me afar.
Back across the vanished years
Where the shadows bar?
Only you and l to go
Where 1, undeiled,
May look out on life again
As little child?
For I'll tell you, Toddle-Legs,
Near the sunset CLEANS,
And the dusk of coming night
Drifts upon my dreams;
Yet l would not mind the road
Where the shadows wait,
If l had but one more day
Through the Morning Gate.
