Realizing the great defensive team
they were against and the weight
that always stands with it, the VIII

instructions TO kick at every oppor-
tunity which was carried out TO the
letter. the object being 10 win or tie
with the least wear and tear.
Neither team displayed much of
attack in the first half most of the
first two quarters being played in
midfeid. In the third period after
Defiance had scored, Westinghouse
recovered a blocked kick on Defiance's

Gillespie Immediately kicked out of

on the so yard line. In their drive
down the field the Electrics used
Bartlett as battering ram, 1t being
mainly through his efforts that they
came so close TO scoring. incidentally
1t was the only time Westinghouse

BOBBY BARRETT TO
MEET JOE TIPLITz

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 16--Bobby
Barrett, the red haired boxer from
Clifton Heights. is going to come out
ot retirement on Wednesday night
and try TO retrieve his lost honors by
beating Joe Tiplitz, the tough little
lightweight. who has been going Ike
house af're during the last few
months.
On form Barrett should be returned
the winner. but form does not always
figure in boxing bout. Bobby has
q big advantage In every way over
the former New Yorker He Is taller
and has longer reach than Joe, is
much heavier and possibly can hit
harder. Surely that is enough to
make any boxer enter the ring with
the feeling that he was going to be Il
sure winner.
But the other fellow must be taken
into consideration. And this time the
other fellow is tough nut, a hard
one TO crack. Tiplitz loves to fight.
He would just as leave fight as eat.
Hitting Joe with the hardest punch
a man has in stock has just as much
effect on him as II he We're being the
target for handful of creampuffs.
He can take il and the harder they
come the better he seems TO like It,
| Certainly II takes a courageous bat
! tier to get away with a fellow like
| that. Barrett is a terrible hitter. but
he depends on the one hard slam
! Tiplitz is of a different style. He
keeps hammering and he directs his
aim at the bread basket. a tender
place, and - or 20 punches landed
on that spot have n telling effect. Bott
are game fellows. but Tiplitz never
worries should a few punches mus
up his face bit. He just Laughs
and comes back for more.

Philadelphia, Oct 1.-THE Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football team
did not have as easy a time with the
sturdy eleven OF the University OF
Maryland as It expected IN winning
by score OF II to 0. The visiting
team did not show strongly on the Of
fensive. but the defense al times was
like a stone wall, taking the ball from
Penn at least nine times on downs.
Both Pennsylvania touchdowns
were made on forward passes, the
first in the opening period when Carl
Ertresvaag, right end. caught Captain
Miller's long throw and rushed the
bail over the line. The other was
scored IN the third period on a beauti-
ful long huri made by Tex Hamer N

Delaware Gridders Capture Great Game
From Ursinus in Which Cherpah Features

Newark. Oct. 1e-Fumbles and
then moro fumbles by both teams
more or less marred the game be-
tween University OF Delaware and
Crslnus on Frazer Field, Saturday
afternoon. Delaware won by two
;ouchdowns. the score being IL 10 0,
and this victory was largely due TO
the fact that Delaware players were
more alert in recovering the bail after
tumhles than the visitors.
Delaware had the ball within IL
yards OF trslnus' goal several other
times during the game. but either
failed 10 produce the punch or lost
the chance OF carrying the hall over
through fumbles On the other hand
Crsinus was on the defensive prac-
,ically all the game and really never
during the game seriously threatened
pclavare's goal. The visitors, except
as the resGl; oe penalties, made but
one first down. Both teams played
hard and there was considerable
rough work during the four quarters.
To the players themselves, the stu
dent body and ali Blue and Gold fol-
lowers, the most pleasing feature OF
the game was the fine showing made
by Cherpak. the speedy young fresh
man, who. after Lowell quit the team
| on Friday. with no previous notice
was put IN az quarterback and played
Saturday. after but one days practice
with the Varsity. Cherpak made q
good impression with everyone who
watched his work. He made one OF
Delaware's touchdowns on a l5-yarG
run. after getting a forward pass from
Jackson. He also handled the punts
| well. making but one tumble during
the game. With more experience Cher
pax should make one of the best quar-.
ters Delaware has had for years.
Both teams played a strong defens
