ST. JOSEPH'S IN
NTERC|TY FRAY
Crimson and Gray Meets Brook
Iyn Prep in Rubber"
Gridiron Game
BATTLE AT PILLS PARK
RY PAIL PREP

Brooklyn Prep. for the last three
years champion Of Greater New York,
will meet st. .Toseph's Prep in their
annual inter-city scholastic football
match this afternoon. The game will
be staged on the Phillies' Ball Park
eridiron. Broad and Huntington streets,
at 3 o'clock.
This will be the second inter city
affair staged among school elevens this
fall. The other battle was between
Eastern High. of Washington, ID. c..
and Catholic High. The latter scored a
6-to-0 victory. incidentally, both out
side" elevens that have visited Phila-
delphia this year have been brought here
by Catholic School Football League
teams.
Todays game will mark the third
consecutive year these teams will have
opposed each other. 1t also will be the
rubber" game. The first game was
played on st. Joseph's field and the
Brooklyn boys ran rough -shod. How
ever, when the local aggregation travel ed
to Brooklyn last year the opposite
happened.
Followers of the Crimson and Gray
are confident their favorite will come
dition Of Bob Connery. husky fullback.
and Steve Toranich, halfback. both OF
whom have been declared eligible BY the
faculty. in the lineup, they say that
.,heir team is virtually unbeatable.
Leo Breslin, captain and star of the
team. was kicked in the back in re-
cent practice, and 1t was rumored this
morning that he would not be able to
play.
However, if Breslin starts he will re-
place Tally ut quarterback.
| This move vas mace by Coach lIelnie
Miller 10 make way for OshOrue. for
mer fullbsck. He will take Dcneen s
place at right halfback, while Toranich
| is filling the shoes formerly occupied by
the fashy Leo.
Brooklyn Prep has n wonderful Of
| fensiTe tcaIr. The machine is centcred
around Harrison, fullback. He is a
wonder at hitting the line and running
the ends. Hn can punt also. With
Bowen. Saunders and Maloney as run
ming mates. thc Brooklyn backfcld by
far Is above par and 1t will take o
mighty good aggregation to stop them.
However. the Stiles street eleven has
the right sort of line to turn the
visitors baci. The line play Of Helnie
Miller's grid men has been almost per-
feet this season. Not once has an Op-
ponent been successful in scoring a first
down through the forwards. The only
times that opponents have succeeded in
getting a first down has been by for
ward passes and wide end runs.
The CrimsoS and Gray have the I'D .
vantage over the visiting aggregation
physically. The home club weighs 16l u
pounds on an average, while the Brook
lyn aggregation hits the scale at $50
st. Joseph's average height is 5.1O1a
or 2L inchos more than Brooklyn's. In
the matter Of average age. st. Joseph +
boys are three -Quartcts Of a ycar Older
than the New Workers.

PLENTY Of WORK
FOR TIGER TEAM
Coach Roper Sends Princeton
Players Through Strenuous
Monday Practice
PLAN AN AERIAL DEFENSE

Princeton. y. j.. Nov. 1.-Prince-
toms football team started on the home
stretch with one Of the hardest Monday
workouts Of the year. and one which
was very gratifying to the coaches. AS
Bill Roper emerged from the stadium
where the last part Of the day was
spent he asked Keene Fitzpatrick what
lie thought Of the practice and the vet
eran Tiger trainer agreed that it was
one of the best Of the season.
The Princeton eleven has q long way
to 60 yet. but II Is apparently improv-
ing daily in such way rs to hit top
form when the Crimson pays q visit
here Saturday.
The entire squad was called out early
and the scrubs practiccd Harvard
plays while the varsity perfected a de-
fense against them. After dummy
scrimmage against the second team the
varsity removed to tho stadium, where
long signal punting and passing drills
were held.
For nearly an hour Don Louric ran
the men up and down the field in the
signal drill. then for twenty minutes
more the team worked against the for
nations that Harvard is expected to use
Saturday. Especial attention was paid
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-11-01

to a defense for the forward pass that
the Crimson Is expected TO use.
At this stage OF the campaign it is
comparatively easy to pick Princeton
lineup for Saturday, even though the
game Is FIVE days off. All the men
who are expected to start were in the
first string eleven today, with the ex
ception Of Baker, who Is still out with
a slight bruise. =.
The team lined up as follows: Lett
end Snively; left tackle. Kcck; left
guard. Lipscomb or Baker: center
Wittmer; right guard, Morgan; right
tackle. Hooper, right end. Stinson
quarterback, I,ourie left halfback, GIL
roy right halfback, Garrity; fullback
Clcaves.
All but Morgan and Louric started
against Virginia last Saturday. 1t is
possible that II Baker takes Lipscomb' s
place, the latter will replace Morgan,
but this Is not likely. Lourie will surely
play.

the specials with the exception of the
club prizes are all offered without any
strings, every exhibitor has an equal
chance to win some Of the extra prizes.
Besides Offering the special for the
best dog or female in the breed having
the largest number of entries. the Ken.
mel Club officials have listed a special
for best dog or female in the show.
This special should act as tonic in
the grand finale on the last night of
the Judging, giving the spectators a
chance to see every winner competing
for this trophy. which also carries with
it the honor Of best Of any breed in The
show.
Superintendent George +. Foley. 1909
SAMSON street, who has charge of the
entries, announced that enough had been
received to assure the Kennel Club of
Philadelphia giving show out OF the
ordinary. The entries will not clos.
until next Saturday.
