HUCGINS REPLAYS
SERIES In ILLNESS
Yank Leader, Delirious With
Fever, Thinks Only of
Team.

UTICA, n Y. Oct 23.-MilleT
Higgins, the Yankees manager is
re-pIaying the world series in the
delirium of fever which has
suddenly come upon him.
He sees the crowds of the world
series in the vague shadows of his
sick room and he talks incoher-
entity of the pitching OF Waite
Hoyte and Carl Mays. He weighs
the glory which his team won
in its struggle with the Giants
and he analyses the shortcomings
of his players.
The nurse, who knows nothing
of baseball, sits at his side and
urges him and pleads with him TO
forget, but the little manager
seems to derive rest and pleasure
from the achievements Of his team
in the first few games OF the
series. and the nurse submits to
him in her heIpIessness.
The Yankee leader is very i'll at
the home of his brother here. He
embarked on a motor trip from
New York last Wednesday, ac-
companied by his sister. His des-
tination was Cincinnati. where he
makes his winter home. and arriv-
ing here Wednesday evening Hug
gins developed an acute attack Of
tonsilitis.
His nervous system, well nigh
wrecked as the result of the Yam
KEGS pennant fight and their
tussle with the Giants. HuGgins
grew worse and worse. and today
he became delirious. Physicians are
closely observing him before de-
Gliding upon definite action.
He issues orders to his players
and constantly mumbles the names
of his players. His physicians
say his condition is serious.

Eastern experts who have long
dwelt upon the lack of finish" In
the brand Of football displayed by
the West are busy revising their
views as a result Of what happened
at Princeton Saturday.

Judging from ringside reports.
the Maroon players treated Roper'S
men with less respect than did the
Middies, which is the acme of inso-
Ience. Navy rushed the ball for
ten first downs against Princeton'
while the sons of Old Nassau were
trying to get 0ne without success.
Chicago topped the Navy in tie
matter Of first downs by eight. To
make the required distance is times
in a game is rapid travelling, espe-
ciaTy when your opponents get but
three, which is all Princeton could
claim Saturday.
One of the startling surprises Of
the game was the way in which
chicago stuck to old fashioned
football. They ploughed through
the princeton line and skirted ends
and, when the pinch came, they had
the forward pass perfected enough
to score a touchdown.
Mr.. Stagg has not only boosted
Chicago's football stock several
POINTS. but he has done much for
football in the West.
It is evident that there is more TO
the game in that section than the
wide open stuff of which we have
heard so much. The old idea of jam
ming through a line or prancIns
around the end still exists, as
Princeton has discovered.
Among Chicago's individual stars
Quarterback Romney and Right
Tackle Mcclure stood out with
much prominence. Romney scored
a touchdown and booted a field
goal. while Mcclure is alleged Tc

refused 70 slay off" Keck's side Of
the line, and tramped through
Princeton's left tackle for many
substantial gains. With Mcclure, OF

that Mr.. Keck's name wilL,be among

did 1t? Virginia Tech gained more
ground. but Maryland had the stun
in the pinches. Coming from be-
hind they won on a drop kick by
Brewer and a foxy forward pa S.
which fooled the Virginia defense
completely. Tech came too close
to another touchdown for comfort.
but the fact remains that they
didn't get there and the reason was
that Maryland had a fighting de-

Seven Games or Miner
The argument concerning the
number of worlds series games tc
be played amounts to this:
After the seventh game there IL
usually a heavy WEAKNESS upon all
concerned.
In 1919, when Giants and Red
Sox fought for eight games, at.
tendance on the final affair fell
away from $4,000 to 1900.
This last fall attendance at the
eighth game dropped from $4,000 to
$4,000. 1t would have fallen still
further IL reserved seats hadn't
been sold in advance.
oSNCH SdihCS 10
There might be one way OF
handling a nine-game series. This
would be to close out the season
a week earlier than usual and
make heavy cut in worlds series
prices. ..- r-s -
For that matter, prices charged
at the last series were entirely too
high. Thousands of fans had no
$22 to put up for a reserved seat
to four games, nor any s44 for q
reserved seat to eight games.

Chicago furnished the biggest
feature of Saturdays games, bur
real surprises, as far as scores are
concerned, were given by Pitts
burgh, which squelched Syracuse's
championship aspirations with a 35-
too defeat, and Georgetown, which
trampled Holy Cross, % to 7.
In both of these games the under
dogs" spilled the dope by over
whelming victories.
Pop Warner has recently made
some changes in his team. shifting
Stein from end to his old job at CEN
ter. Whatever other changes he
made worked like a charm. After
their defeat by Lafayette and their
close call with West Virginia and
Cincinnati, the Painters looked
once more like the machine of old
on Saturday. Willie Meehan was
supposed TO have one Of the most
powerful teams in the East at SYRIA
cuse, with a fine chance of finish
ing the season without a defeat.
He is now among the also rams.
Maybe Al Exendine, who knew
more about the real ability of
Georgetown than anybody else, had
an idea that the Hilltoppers would
make Holy Cross look like a second
rate team but. il so, he kept the
startling information under his hat.
Facing their first big game of the
year. the Blue and Gray machine
lived up to the fondest expectations
Of its followers here. Holy Cross
distinguished itself earlier in the
season by outplaying Harvard. in
view Of which fact there was a
general idea that Georgetown would
have to travel fast to exc out a
win. A 2s-to-7 victory came like a
bolt out Of clear sky here and else
where-especially down in Atlanta
where the Golden Tornado is en-
camped
Such display of offensive
strength means that there is going
to be trouble in large doses for
Georgia Tech on November 1. That
Is the biggest game Of the year for
Georgetown and the victory over
Holy Cross win undoubtedly supply
that confidence needed for such a
clash. George Washington and
Fordham are to be met before the
journey to Atlanta, but the outlook
is that Georgetown will win both
VI Inese IllLS nanOlly.
No Rest for Penn state.
The party who declares that
beating Harvard is a large under
taking was eminently correct. Wit
ness the fate of Penn State.
BeZdek's men did more than was
expected by scoring three touch
downs And yet the final score
found them in a 21-to-21 tie.
The amount Of scoring in this tilt
upset all calculators: Crossing Har-
wards goal line Is a rare occurrence
and Penn States three scores bears
out the impression that Bezdek has
a wonderful offensive Organization.
Defensively neither team lived up
to expectations. "a
Harvard pulled the game out of
the IRE with a pass attack. Just as
II has come from behind to tie Prince
ton for the past two years. The
beauty about the Crimson style of
play Is that usually there is some
thing up their sleeve to fall back
on when a crisis arises
Penn States lofty position in the
football world has suffered none. but
