TROJANS ARE WINNERS
German and blanchard Successfully
Work Forward Pass In Closing
Minute OF Game With Branford.

With but one more minute to play,
the speedy Trojan eleven pushed
across a touchdown yesterday after
noon at st. Mary's field, winning over
Hap" Harmons Branlord Battery
club to 3. Hap" had previously
booted a field goal from the Al yard
line putting his club in the lead.
The play that won for the locals
was a speedy pass thrown by German
at quarter to Blanchard at end. The
end broke through the Branford de-
Tense and aided by splendid interior
cnce on the part of his teammates,
was able to race IS yards for the
touchdown.
The game was fast one through
out. The defensive work of both
teams was of the highest grade, the
ball 2gzagging over a small amount
of territory almost throughout the
entire contest After Harmon's kick,
which was of the incest ever seen on
st. Mary's field, it began to look dis
mai for the Trojan outfit From that
time on the locals hattled on even
terms with the Harmon outfit, sue
ceeding near the close of the game In
pushing the ball within scoring dis
tance OF the Battery line The pass
did the rest.

FEARS OVERCONFIDENCE
Coach Sutherland Warns Lafayette
Not to Hold Lehigh Cheaply

Easton, Pa, Nov. 14.-One of the
biggest tasks confronting Coach Jock
Suth erland this week is that of pre-
venting the undefeated Lafayette col
lege eleven from becoming oVercon-
hdent as to the outcome of the an
nual contest with Lehigh university
Saturday at South Bethlehem.
we must guard against overconf1-
dence," said Coach sutherland last
night. "Lehigh will be harder to beat
this year because of the defeats re
ceived from Washington and jefferson
and N1uhlenberg."
The practices this week will be
secret. The team will be instructed
in several new plays, beginning Mon
day, but it is doubtful If it will resort
to anything but straight football
against Lehigh. This style of game
has been successful all season.

Dissillusionized P0ilu's
Long Quest for Job Ends

DAY night, alone, discouraged, with
out cent, he landed in the office Of
City Marshal Murray, where he told
his story through an interpreter The
only word of English which he knows
Is Jobs" with an interrogative in
Election. He told the marshal that he
left France. where he has an aged
mother and a sister, and landed in
New York two months ago. He had
heard, from his American comrades in
the Great War, of the untold riches
and the high wages of the United
States. The consul in New York told
him different story-told him to go
north. where he would find more
French-speaking people. So Jules
went TO Fall River. Mass. where he
worked for a while at weaving, his
trade Then the mills shut down
Jules drifted on. ever northward
When he landed in Waterville he
told some men on the corner his hard
luck. saying that he had no money. no
place to sleep. and nothing to eat
The men sent him to Captain Muir
ray. At the marshals office Jules
showed his credentials. his discharge
from the French army after nine
years of service. and a citation he had
received for his bravery in the de-
Tense of Verdun. He had been in the
army five years before the war broke
out and when hostilities were start
ed his regiment was one of the first
to go into action. He took part in the
first retreat from the Marine. and he
also saw the noble back-rush which
repealed the invaders. He was in the
army of occupation long after the
armistice was signed. Then when he
was mustered out, with his fine rec
ord. he had offers of work in his ma
tive country. He worked long enough
to pay the debts which his mother had
contracted while he was fighting and

Chicago Tribune to

of professional baseball in American
life, the Chicago Tribune today an
nounced on it's editorial page that it

favor of other sports. particularly
amateur games.

half column now for games in which
the home team plays, and to a bare
statement of vital statsctis regarding
other clubs" the amendment said.

Americans Picked Up
fcont;nued from Page One)

Far from being discouraged by the
disaster, naval aviation officials I'M
mediately prepared to seek authority
for construction of a new ship OF the
iZRZ-o type in the United States.
I'VE will carry on: build and oper-
ate as many ZR-2s as may be author
ICED by Congress" Admiral William "A.
! Moffet. chief of the naval bureau of
aeronautics, said tonight, so that
these brave men may not have lost
their lives in vain"
Other aviation officers while greatly
distressed. declared they had not lost
faith in rigid airships.
Official dispatches to the department
did not contain any information upon
which experts could base an opinion
as to the cause of the disaster. The
opinion was expressed, however, that
the theory of an explosion of hydro
gen gas in one or more of the 4 COM
partments might be dismissed at once
The theory most generally expressed
was that a structural weakness devel-
oped similar to that reported O tficiaI-
| ly by American observers under date
! of July IS, rupturing the envelope so
as to bring the hot gases of the en-
CINE exhaust into contact with the by
drogen, or that a buckling of struc-
tural braces might have punctured the
fuel containers, permitting the escap-
il>s gasoline to come into contact with
the exhaust lines.
Although the ZR-2 had not been ac-
cepted formally under the contract
with the British air ministry. several
payments had been made by the Unit
ed States toward the cost of con-
struction. 1t was estimated at the
navy department that these payments
might total $500 900 or three fourths
of the total cost. Under law and by
naval custom no material or vessel
ever is considered to be within the
jurisdiction of the department until it
has been finally passed by inspectors
or completely prescribed tests and
formally turned over. Under this rule
title to the ZR-2 would he consid-
cred to have been wholly with the
British owner today, naval officers
said.
A clause in the purchase contract
provided that in the event of loss of
the shin during her fight to the Unit
ed States. each party to the contract
would assume half the cost of con-
structon.
