Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct 26.-From
the way things look at present, there
doesn't seem to be any indications of
a Harvard scrimmage this week.
although Coacn Fisher planned one
as late as yesterday. To-day's work
was little more than drill in fun
damentals although the second team,
facing the varsity, tried out few
formations that Princeton has been
using. Tackling was barred
Three men continue with the side
line spectators, Charley Tiernev. the
right tackle, George Owen. and Karl
Pfaffman. Captain Kane ran through
signals for the first time since the
Penn State game. Brown had a class
and Wesley Broker was sent to left
guard. Although Tubby Grew dressed
for play, Charley Hubbard still con-
tinued at right guard.
The coaches are paying plenty of
attention to Phil Coburn, who i'm
pressed them Saturday in the later
stages of the Penn State game
war, and Pooch Donovan, then coach
ing the service team, switched him
from halfback to guard. Last year he
played on the second team, and this
fall was retained on the varsity as
halfback. During one of the prac-
tice games after he was shifted to
guard he tackled one Of his own
players, but this was overlooked. and
Coburn returned to his original posi-
tion and shone Saturday.
Center College team is due here
tomorrow forenoon and is expected t.
practice in the Stadium. 1t is under
stood here that the Danville students
are not to be allowed to accompany
the team

Teams to Try for
Early Decision i'm Con-
test at Polo Grounds

Regardless Of what may be the out
come of the football battle between
Georgia Tech and Penn State at the
Polo Grounds Saturday, the contest
Shapes up in advance as a spectacular
struggle we'll worth seeing. 1t fre-
quently happens where two teams are
fairly evenly balanced that the game
resolves itself into tug of war around
the middle of the field, varied only by
frequent kicking of the ball.
But unless all signs fail this game
is going to offer the fine spectacle of
two teams with the wift-moving, we'll
organized team work, making for fine
offensive play in an effort to effect a
definite decision as early and IS
torcefully as possible. Neither is i'm
bued with any idea of extracting So
called moral victory even in defeat,
and both are coming along with the
express purpose of feeling satisfied
with nothing short of actual victory
In some respects both teams violate
strategic principles accepted as grid
iron gossip in certain quarters. For
instance, neither is inclined to stall
along until an opening is found, or. in
other words, until fate or some kindly
break in the struggle puts it in a posi-
ton TO score. Zones in which to in
augurate certain styles of play ex-
cluslvely mean nothing to the Georrians
nor yet the Pennsylvanians.
Started Another March
For instance, in last SATURDAYS
game with Harvard Penn State took
the ball on its own 12-yarG line and
marched down the field to touch
down. Having scored once, Quarter
back Killinger did not hesitate to start
another march from the shadow of his
own goal posts that eventually led to
q touchdown, instead of kicking and
awaiting an opportunity to launch his
drive from somewhere around midield
Techs idea of the way to play winning
football is almost the same. The
Tornado figures that it can get into
action any place it happens to get the
ball.
Furthermore, both of these teams
are known as organizations that en-
ploy wide diversity of attack. Plunges
through the line, smashes off tackle
thrusts at the TANKS and liberal mix
ture OF forward passing are all en-
ployed in the effort to rush the oval
over the opposing teams goal line
Neither team thus far has been
crowded closely enough to be forced
TO call into play the full extent of its
passing game, but the prospects are
that Saturday will develop such a stu
alton.
Darkness Handicapped State
In the Harvard game State might
we'll have employed some of its more
elaborate plays near the end of the
game, but was prevented from doing
so by reason of the fact that it was
too dark to distinguish readily between
friend ard foe at some little distance
away. It will be recalled that after
Harvard scored its third touchdown
to tie the score State marched back
UP the field to Harvard's 1S-yard line.
Killinger stated after the game that
he would have opened mp his aerial
attack but for the fact that darkness
made it decidedly too big a risk with
tie assured, provided policy Of
safety were followed.
Saturdays game willy start at .
o'clock, so that there is no likelihood
of q repetition of the conditions that
marked the close Of the Harvard con-
test.

that either the Army or the Navy had

This is the exact situation" said
the major, drawing up a chair.
There are about $4,000 tickets for
the Army-Navy football game. That

of these 14,400 are allotted to the Ar,nv
Athletic Association, 14,400 to the Navv

New York National League Baseball

by those bodies to their members and
to those who have contributed to the
association funds.
"Of the 14,400 tickets allotted TO
the baseball club, 11,162 are divided
between the Army and the Navy asso-
Citations, each receiving 5,581. These
are sold to the members of the sery-
ice associations and the receipts 90
to the New York club. We, the Army
and the Navy, do not receive one cent
OF that money. The price of these
tickets, which are sold to our mem

two years ago.

One Harry Phillips jr is strongly in
favor of intersectional games and
would have the champion of the Con-

FOMMY RITNER, New York
"A boy who formerly played foot
ball at De Witt Clinton High
School, is member of the Penn
State team which meets Georgia
Tech at the Polo Grounds Saturday.
Ritner probably would be first
string quarterback on many another
college eleven, but the presence of
the remarkable killinger at Penn
State gives Ritner second place.
However, it is said at State Col
lege that the team is little weak
ened when Ritner takes the reins,
which is fine tribute to the New
Workers. ability. Ritner piloted the
scrub eleven last season. This is

Parsons denounced the papers for
not telling tht truth about North

"what has happened in North Da-

1920, 1912 and now a recall ia In

TRAVELLING BY STAGE COACH


A poster advertising overland stage
travel between San Antonio, Tex, ano
San Diego, Calf. in 1890, has been
found, which makes interesting read
Ing these days of fast and palatial
rail accommodation. Overland to the
Pacific" is the heading attracting pub
lie attention to the line. The poster
calls attention to the fact that this
line has been In successful operation
for three years, and will convey pas
sengers "in new coaches drawn by six
mules over the entire length Of our
line. excepting the Colorado desert Of
100 miles. which we cross on mule
back"
According to the advertisement
coaches left semi-monthly from each
end, trips being started on the 9th
and oath Of the month at 6 a. m. At
tention was called to the fact that an
armed escort accompanied the coach
"for the protection Of the mails and
the passengers through the Indian
country" 1t was stipulated that pas
sengers were provided with food dur
ing the trip, except where the coach
stopped at public houses enroute, when
the passenger was expected to pay
for his own meals. The fare between
San Antonio and San Diego was $500,
with less amounts charged betwea
those stations and other points, such
as Fort Clark, Tucson and Ell Paso,
while 1t was announced that the fare
to intermediate. stations was ID cents

ADVERTISING STOPPED

G. r. Scott: An lola man has been
enjoying himself greatly the past
few days by going about town and
asking. the question: "Who was the
running mate Of Charles Evans
Hughes in 1916?" He has had a
particularly good time whenever he
could find half dozen Republicans
together and could throw the ques-
ton into the midst of them. OF
course the reason the man has en-
joyed himself is because so few have
been able to answer his question.
And yet 1t is only six years since the
name of this man was plastered on
every dead wall and spread over
nearly every newspaper in America.
For four months an intensive cam
paign was made to advertise this
man. More than million dollars
was spent in that campaign and
while 1t was going on nearly every
man, woman and child in America
could have answered the question
right off the bat. Not more than
one in a hundred taking the whole
population probably not more than
one in a thousand, can answer 1t
now. Why? Because the advertise
ment stopped!
