HAGEAGE STAR
Of WESTERNS
VICTORY
BackfieId Performer Supplies
Punch That Beats Business
in Final Game, 6 to O.
BY r. ID. THOMAS.

His name hasn't appeared IN
any all-high school selections. Per
haps he wasn't used in enough
games to be considered and again
it may be that Charlie Hageage
has just come to life as a per-
former in the backfield for West
ern.
But those who saw the game
between Western and Business, a
terrible mess from the standpoint
of football, today carry a mind
picture of this lad running and
darting and bucking like a young
fiend.
1t was he who, in the end, sup
piled the punch that resulted in
the touchdown that gave the hefty
Western team a 6-to-0 victory in
the final game OF the school series
and prevented Western from end
ing in a tie with Eastern and Bust
ness for last place.
Before Hageage dashed fifteen
yards through the Business eleven
for touchdown in the fourth
quarter, Western had gained
enough ground to score couple
of touchdowns under ordinary con-
ditions, but deplorable fumbles
made the red teams ground-gaining
fruitless.
In the entire game Western
rushed the ball about 165 yards
on fourteen first downs while Bust
ness. being forced to play defensive
football throughout, made only one
first down and that with the aid
of penalty.
1t was one Of Westerns numer-
Gus fumbies superinduced possibly
by a. move by Coach George Green,
chat cost Western a touchdown
early in the game. Largely through
the snappy backfield work of Beau
Lamar, Western had progressed to
Business 4.yard line when Coach
Green sent in Homer Thomas to
take 'Lamar's place.
Thomas fumbled and Ralph Bangs,
Business sterling left halfback, was
on the ball like a cat on a mouse.
Except for it's fumbling, West
ern played excellent football. The
backs received splendid interference.
Where miscues were not made, the
plays were executed nicely. The

The Navy is trying TO bring

LAFAYETTE AIM
|SF0UR-YEAR
RECORD
Senior Class Has Never Seen
Maroon Team Beaten on
March Field.

EASTON, Pa, Nov. 22.-With
the unusual record of never having
seen a Lafayette College football
team go down to defeat on March
Field during its four years in col
lege, the members of the Lafay-
cite senior class are pulling heart
and soul for Maroon victory this
Saturday over Lafayette's natural
rival. Lehigh. This game will be
the final home contest of the year
for the team and likewise the men
IN the senior class.
To accomplish this remarkable
feat Lafayette football teams have
had TO run up record Of eighteen
consecutive home triumphs. Not a
home football match has been
dropped since the fall Of Novem-
Der, 1918, when Lehigh won from
Lafayette, II to 0, and the Garden
City Aviators won to the tune of
n to 0. The final game Of the
1913 season-the year Of s. A. T.
G. football-resulted in a 1913 win
over st. Joseph's College.
In the eighteen straight wins La.
fayette has scored no less than
GA points. The opponents in this
lime scored only thirty-four points
thirteen by st. Joe In 1918, seven
points each by Bucknell and Lehigh
IN 1920 and seven by Bucknell this
year. Not an opponent Tailed In
1919 and 1921 on March Field. The
largest score made by a Lafayette
team in this period was an 81 to 0
triumph over Catholic University in
1920.
The present senior class-the
first full class after the world war
has played a leading part in La.

Speaking Of Big Purses.

0UR old pal Tim McGrath
~ stepped out again the other
day with n story of high
priced fighters. Tim says:
Freddie Began dropped in to
see me. The old-timers will all
remember Fred as great little
featherweight of his time; his
great fight with Dial Hawkins,
which lasted two nights, and
which Began won on a knockout,
fight which I told about in a
previous chapter is still talked
about. We got talking about
fights and fighters and Freddie
told me that he picks Dempsey
to whip Harry Wills.
"But," he remarked, mo matter
which wins, just think Of the
money those two fellows will get"
Yes, Freddie, it's awful. Fred
die recalls the time when the Coli
fornia Club offered a purse of
$4,000 for a fight between John
L. Sullivan and Peter Jackson.
When the newspaper announced
the amount Of the purse. offered
the people thought that President
Fulda and his secretary, Billy
Wise, had gone crazy. Mr.. Fulda
and Wise had banner painted
stating that the club was willing
to give $4,000 for the fight be-
tween Sullivan and Jackson, and
stretched it across Market street.
The banner hung there for weeks
until it was torn to pieces by
the wind, l guess-but Sullivan
drew the color line, and out of
the offer of the California Club
grew the match between Corbett
and Sullivan in New Orleans.
Began was assistant secretary
of the Golden Gate Club. This
club had 1900 members, each of
whom paid $3.50 as monthly
dues, and this entitled the men,
Der to all the club privileges,
which included boxing lessons
from "Con" Riordan or Mike
Lucy and admission also to the
finisi. fight between famous pro-
fessionals that the club staged
each month.
The largest purse the club ever
hung up for finish fight, as
near as Began could remember,
was $1,000. This was for the
fight between Denny Kelleher
and Charley Turner, the crack
colored middleweight from Stock
ton.
Most of the other purses were
$650Lfor finish fights, mind you
and were usually split $500 to
the winner and $3.50 to the loser,
though occasionally, when the
two fighters were bitter toward
each other and were willing to
gamble, the winner took all.
Began says he saw more fight
ing ut the Golden Gate Club in
one night than he has seen In al
the fights he's attended since, and
