d. c. Horses Win Places
In Pinehurst Race Meet

PINEHURST, n. c., Nov. 30
An assemblage suggestive of mid
season thrOnged the grandstand and
the paddock at the Thanksgiving
Day race meeting of the Pinehurst
Jockey Club this afternoon. The
Steeplechase event was won by Miss
Helen Warnings Rayo Light in a
close finish with Miss Fit. the en-
try of Edward ]. .Spriggs. of Phil
adelphia.
Jack Hanover, owned by Richney
Green. of Richmond, and ridden by
Williams, won the seven furlong
flat race at the end of a hotly-con-
tested dash in which Spearline and
Sam Alexander's Hellsman failed to
do better than to finish among the
"also rams" Frank Thomas, of
Washington. whose entries and
good driving have been winning a
lot of harness events since the sea
son opened at Pinehurst, entered

carried off both heats, winning the
first in 2:18A and the second heat

oped one thing which is the ambi.
ton of every football coach, to.
wit, a strong play to the weak
side of the line. 1t was built on
the cut back principle and work ed
for good gains whenever it was
used. The back man in the tan
Gem receiving the ball, waited until
his interference from the strong
side got across in front of him and
then started for his hole overtackle
This necessitated a line like a rock
TO protect him while he waited and
the Cornell line certainly came
under this heading. No one ever
sifted through to catch the man on
this play. Dobie also put a new
play on the field in the form, a g
yard forward pass from the back
man ip the tandem to halfback
crossing in front of him. This did
not seem to be so successful.
TEAMS DESERVE PRAISE.
Both teams deserve great praise.
Cornell on the prowess displayed
and Penn on the fighting spirit in
the face of odds as great as they
were. There was no doubt about
1t. Cornell was too big for them,
but those Red and Blue boys fought
with all they had until they finally
had to be- removed from the game
because sheer exhaustion had made
them no longer useful.
It's a great sight to see a fight
ing loser and this is what the
fifty odd thousan nd spectators watched
at Franklin Field this afternoon.
A man with his back to the wall
fighting sullenly and fiercely and
never failing when he got the ball
to try to advance it towards the
coveted opponents goal line. Penn
never did threaten. as a matter
of fact, but often during the game
it looked as though they were
going to turn the tables with 4
long, run or a long pass,
The alert Cornell defense, how
ever. always seemed to be on hand
to either knock down the pass or
spill the runner before he had
gotten too far. 1t was a battle
of the little man against the big
and young man against the old,
and although he lost the little fel.
low displayed a fighting spirit that
thrilled the hearts of every old Penn
grad and young Penn undergrads
that filled the stands to overflow
ing. 1t is no disgrace to be beaten
by a better team If you have done
your best and fought your hardest,
and with this satisfactory thought,
the Penn players, coaches and fol-
lowers can salve the wounds which
the S-to-0 score might have IN
flicted. '

Five Downs Needed
Now in Gridiron
Engagements

Ed Thorpe, who passed
through Washington on his
way to referee in Richmond
yesterday, advocates five
downs for the ten yards nec-
essary to gain first down.
81 have talked with sew
eral Western coaches this
season and many in the
East. The rushing game is
being discarded in favor of
the forward pass. Coaches
figure one pass in four can
make a first down. Why
rush it? l think five downs
instead of four might be
given to gain ten yards"
said Thorpe. "When teams
realize they can make one
pass in four, if the pass is
any good, they will stop
rushing altogether. And
then the game WILDE hours
long on account of the time
taken out on incompleted
passes"

Virginia BobbIe Allows Blount
Chance for Field Goal, Which

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Nov.
80. - North Carolina won
~ from Virginia, 10 to z, be-
fore a crowd of 10000 spectators
who jammed stands and stadium
on Lambeth Field. Virginia's
tumble in the first quarter made
the difference, for it enabled
Blount to kick a field goal from
placement, which gave the visit
ors the advantage after each team
had scored a touchdown.
The first three points were
made early in the game after
Maphis fumbled twenty yards
from the Virginia line. North
Carolina failed to gain, but
scored on the placement kick.
In the second quarter Virginia
outplayed the visitors and forced
them back to their goal. Mcdonald
made a short punt from the goal
line and with twenty-four yards
to go Maphis slipped through left
tackle for a touchdown. Fenwick
dropkicked for another point.
After an exchange of points as
the second hall opened the Tarheels
started a march to the goal from
their own 3S-yard line. Merrett's
running made most of the distance
but a pass from Mcdonald enabled
johnson to sprint over the line.
Blount added a kick from place.

Caroline was within less than

but the Old Dominion stood like
a wall. However, Virginia could
not run the ball out and as the
punts of Walp were short their
goal was always in danger The
teams were about equal on the de-

backfield gave them an advantage

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 80.
The Pitt Panthers today

The Pitt Panthers today
defeated Penn State by a
14-to-0 score. The game closed
the local football season and
broke a two-year scoreless tie
that had existed since Penn State
defeated the Panthers by a 20
too score in 1920.
Warmers machine was slow
and ungainly in the first half,
many of his trick plays failing
to go through because of slow
thinking. When the Panthers
came out for the second half a
different aspect was given the
game Immediately, as they began
a line-smashing jamboree' that
ended at States goal line.
In the third period the Panthers
made six first downs to Penn
States two, and the whole backfield
was used in making the necessary
gains, aided by a wonderful 44-yard
return OF a State punt by Flanagan,
carrying the ball to the 6-yard line.
Although the Lions braced here,
Hewitt and Flanagan We're not to
be denied and the latter went over
for the first touchdown. Williams
added the necessary point.
The Bezdekjans began to play des-
perately, Palm. Wilson and Hufford
bearing the brunt of the play.
But at no time did they menace the
Pitt goal line. In the period after
this, after Pitt had carried the ball
to States 24-yard line, Williams
tried for a field from the 34-yard
line. but failed.
State was forced to give up the
ball, however, and the Panthers
started another march to the goal
line. reaching the 15-yard line on
Colonna's line smashing.
A forward pass from Flanagan
to Anderson, and the last named
ran over the line in the extreme
field and scored the second and
last touchdown, Williams again
being successful in his try for
point from 10-yard placement.

" HE "color line" creeps into
French politics.
NJ. Diagne, poetical
name, negro member of the
Chamber of Deputies repre-
senting French Senegal, de-
mands that the French Boxing
Federation restore the title of
light heavyweight champion OF
France to Battling Sikh.
M. Diagne threatens to have
the government subsidy to the
federation cut off. This would
be most painful operation to
the federation.
Battling Sikh is the wild
monkey-man who won the light
heavyweight championship of
the world from Georges Car
pentier. Loaded with insidious
French drinks, Sikh bounded
along the boulevards in jungle
glee for some weeks in cele-
bration of his triumph.
He wound up by slugging a
referee at a prize fight. Sikh
innocently thought a champion
could do as he pleased. Other
champions with longer fore
heads than Ski, but not much
more behind them, have
thought the same thing.
THE French Boxing Fedora
tion. with a great show of
indignation, suspended Sikh
from further pugilistic opera
tions in France for nine
months.
This was RIGHT. 1t was
necessary to punish Sikh in
some manner.
The federation announced
that Sikh is no longer light
heavyweight champion of
France. This was unimpor-
tant, but WRONG. 1t was un-
important because Sikh is light
heavyweight champion OF
THE WORLD. The champion
ship of France means nothing
compared to that.
1t was wrong because Sikh
won his title in the ring, the
only place where pugilistic
titles may be won. His pugilis-
tic status cannot be changed
by LEGISLATION.
The New York State BoSfng
Commission tried to annuY the
titles held by Johnny Wilson,
middleweight champion jof the
world, and Johnny pKilbane,
featherweight champion of the
world. Wilson and Kilbane are
still CHAMPIONS

Boxing is legalized in New
