final game of the series from the

reduced the New York lead to
three and a half games. In spite
of the victory, however, the
Pirates hopes are only mathe-
matical. The Giants have nine
more games to play and Pitts
burg twelve. Should New York
win FIVE out Of its nine games,

eleven out of twelve to beat Nc

PENN SCRUB THRILLS
WITH HARD TACKLES
Langdon Drops Wray and Miller in Scrimn,ags Drill.
Varsity Again Wins-Changes in Shift-Line Looks
!. Srong-WhitehiU and Craze Ready

?, "a rather early in the season to
.,re nrojse TO a scrub player who per-
sarns against the varsity in ways that
,n,dinarily are not looked for, but when
= roungster steps in and by his work
r,ns the admiration Of not only the
t.ns and the scribes but also the
caches, he deserves word Of praise.
AL Langdon looked fair to Tom Nc
Namnra, the scrub coach, during prac-
tice last week In everything but his
tsckling. At the last named he showed
himself an artist and Mcnamara i'm
mediately selected him for his irst scrub
sleyen as halfback. In Mondays
scrimmage, being new to the game,
I,angdon was not a shining light,
though he played with the heart of n
giant.
Yesterday, however, he played fifty
minutes Of the scrimmage and during
that time was the only man on the
scrub backfcld who could stop the var
atty. Time and again after a red-jer-
seyed varsity athlete broke through the
first scrub line of defense the short but
sturdy Langdon would be found wait
Ing to meet him. And when he hit them
they went down.
On one occasion Rex Wray, the cap
tain of the Red and Blue, started off
on one Of his long runs around the end.
He broke through the first and also the
secondary lines of defense, but not
through Langdon, who met him with
as vicious a tackle Us has been made
on franklin Field this season. Down
Wray went with a smile on his face.
Stops Wray and Miller
mice work, boy" said Rex. Keep
It up. That is the kind of tackle that
stops EN-" Langdon didn't even
smile, but went back to his duties Of
stopping 'em. Pos Miller shot through
q hole Mt tackle and was started on
what looked like a sure touchdown
when Langdon loomed in his way, small
but mighty efficient looking. Down
went Pos, and he, like Wray, too, had
word Of praise for the rookie.
Several Of the coaches, who are loath
to do any praising SO early in the year,
vouchsafed the same opinion, that it
won't be long before Langdon, il he
continues his work Of yesterday, will be
on the varsity squad.
Last year it was Babe Grove who
daily made the varsity sit up and take
notice with his hard work on the scrub
eleven. Now it is Langdon. The
youngster, who is a secondyear man
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-09-21

in the Dental School, did not play foot :
ball last year, but the year before that
he did as halfback on the Scranton
High School team.
AS on Monday, yesterdays scrim
mage drill was long one and hard
one also. For almost an hour the
scrubs and the varsity, freshened by
frequent substitutions, went at IL ham :
mer and tongs. The varsity carried
the ball all the time, but was able to
score only four times in about fifty five
minutes of play. The scrub line, par
icularly Reckus, Yadusky, Lewis and
Ringe, gave the varsity line no end of
trouble. Time and again they stopped
plays shot ut them by getting in under
the varsity and hating the advance.
Scrubs Show Fight
1t took the varsity twenty minutes to
score its first touchdown, and that
came only after the bitterest resistance,
which argues well for the team this
year. According to the coaches, the
varsity Is as much IN uncertainty to-
day as It was last July, when every one
had forgotten football. That is what
makes the fight worth while for the
scrubs and the second string men. They
go in there and battle every minute and
demur when the coaches want to take
them out for a rest.
AT the start of the scrimmage drill
yesterday the varsity lined up as fol-
lows: McMullen, left end; Genthner,
left tackle; Cochrsne, left guard; Day,
center; Sutherland, right guard; Thur
man, right tackle; Ertresvaag, right
end McAnally, quarterback Krall,
left halfback Wittmer, right halfback,
and Dryden, fullback.
After they had toiled for twenty min
utes, Heisman sent in his corps of subs.
Rex Wray replaced McAnally, Lukas
went in for Dryden. James for Krall,
Pos Miller for Wittmer, Greenwalt for
McMullen, Gillette for Genthner, Foley
for Day, Piekarski for Sutherland, Dern
for Thurman and Armstrong for Ert-
Wittmer scored the first touchdown
when he went around right end for
yards. Pos Miller scored the second q
few minutes after he entered the game
by shooting through hole off tackle for
8 yards. Pos also scored the third, this
time 3 yards through tackle.
James scored the fourth through the
same spot from the 2-yard line. There
was little end running or forward pass
ing yesterday, and that accounts for the
scores being made through the line.
