ST. MARY'S-CHESROOK
WON'T PLAY OFF

St. Mary's and Chesrooa have
again agreed to disagree and the
game for this Saturday afternoon at
Harlan Field between the two rival
football aggregations isTon. Last
season the elevens could not get to-
rether and II looks as the same thing
has happened this year.
Representative OF the teams met
last night and could not agree on
the roster OF the players to be used.
ST. Mary's refused to allow Manager
Abrahams TO insert Alexander and
Feinberg, Of ST. Johns Of Annapolis,
Hayes OF =. NJ. c.. and Greenwood
Of Drexel. all local boys, in the
Chesrook lineup. Manager Abra-
hams insisted that the first three
men are members OF Chesrook. Fem
berg and Alexander playing in three
OF the 1921 Chesrook games. Hayes
played with the Chesrook team IN
1919 and several games In 1920. H'
claimed that while Greenwood is
member Of Chesrook, he Is willing
to drop him from the lineup.
St. Mary's contended thatsChes-
rook met Defiance and Fort DUPONT
without these stars and that they
should be given the same consider

Say. Miss Boucher. didn't you see
Paul waving al you Saturday?
We are still hunting for a floor.
As the training table has started,
we hope Il is not tobacco coupons.
for we are very strict observers OF
the diet that our head coach has
imposed.
After racking our brains for a
plan TO build the new hall or club
house. Brodie hit upon the following
idea: Build the new club house
where the old one now stands and
with the material from the old one.
Pretty good Now our only trouble
Is to find the old one.
There is talk OF giving a prize 10
the one who sells the most chances.
Well said. but some one wants to
know about booby prize. This was
vetoed, as Il was thought there would
be too much competition.
Did any one see Brodie's ill-mated
stockings in the game? He must
have two brothers that play.
At a meeting held lately, there
was a shake-up in the officers. The
new ones follow: Collins, captain;
Hainesworth, treasurer; Schaible,
manager. and Sweeney, sporting
editor.

This is the open season for foot

A lot OF pencils and reams Of
paper are going 10 be used by the
experts in their attack on compare

The other day a supporter OF
Iowa. on comparative scores, was
90 IL points better than Harvard.
His dope was so intricate that no
one but a college professor would
have been able to decipher Il.
Penn state was going great until
the Pittsburg game. That tic game

beat pittsburg. Z to o. is pointing TO
that victory to prove that II Is
stronger team than Penn state.
In the middle west Notre Dame

Because Of the scrambled condi-

defeat OF Yale, no claims are oeini
made.
II is to be regretted that there Il

HARD SCHEDULE WAS
FACED BY PENN STATE

The inability Of Penn State to get
better than a tie against Pittsburgh
in the Thanksgiving Day game. was
a surprise and then again It wasn't.
The Penn State team unquestion-
ably had gone stale. In addition. the
muddy field made It impossible for
the fast Penn backs to show to ad-
vantage.
A lot OF the football experts had
the proper dope on State. when they
gave Pittsburgh an outside chance
to win, and predicted the game would
be decided by a close score either
way.
Penn State is the best team in the
east. despite the fact that II wa,
able 10 get nothing better than a tia
with Pittsburgh. a team that has
been beaten several times during
the season.
doubt II any football team in the
country ever attempted a harder
schedle than Penn State faced this
season. Seven straight games. all OF
them against strong elevens. was
I the task that Coach Hugo Bezdek
was up against.
First came North Carolina State.
a very fair team Then came the
always troublesome Lehigh eleven.
T. In rapid order followed Harvard
Georgia Tech. Carnegie Tech, Navy
and Pittsburgh.
Penn State was at the top OF its
game against the Navy, when Il
played its greatest exhibition and
decisively defeated the great Navy
eleven. Tho team undoubtedly was a
bit stale against Pitt. and this state
ment does not detract in any way
from the great comeback made by
Warmers eleven.
Supporters OF Lafayette. Cornell
and others may question the super
Iiorlty OF Penn State. but most crit
ics will give the team the credit q
deserves.
