NO BIG SURPRISES M EASTERN GRID SCORES SATURDAY
Columbia Pulls Only Surprise By Winning By Only
 13 Points

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.-The foot ball teams from the little schools which met the wadded various of the larger founts of learning in pre- paratory games Saturday were ac corded the treatment which these doughty little sparring partners of the bigger, better teams long since learned to expect.
 The scores of Saturdays. games therefore leave no impression except the imprints of rushing cleats on the hides of the little ones. Harvard, Yale and Princeton agreed to curtail their schedules this season and will not begin until next Saturday, but most of the other "amjor" teams of the eastern and southern zones swung easily into action against op- position unworthy of their steel.
 The only question before these games was not "who will win" but, By what scorer" There was for ex ample, no Tennessean so wildly par tisan as to believe that Tennessee would beat the army at West Point, and Tennessee didn't. The score was 41 to o. The most rampant alumnus of Hobart college had no idea that Hobart would win from Syracuse. Hobart was showed around for four quarters of a game that was only practise canter for the Syracuse team and the score was 33 to o. Kala- mazoo was more greatly overmatch than any other of the human tackling dummies .Notre Dame beat Kazoo "A to 0.
 Only at Columbia university's field was there anything even mildly sur prising in the score. Columbia. coached by the famous Percy Haugh- ton, played the usual Columbia game despite the greatness of her mentor, and only won from Ursinus 13 to o. As Haughton Is said to be getting $l5,0o0 a year to produce great fot- ball team at Columbia, there is much indignation over the meagreness ot the score. Amateur bookkeepers are trying to figure in dollars and cents just how much rebate Haughton owes the Athletic fund for falling to win by at least 9S to O. Walter Kop- p.ch, Coiumbia's best backfield man, and one of the best in the country If 1t comes to that, was not ill the game, having been hurt in practise.
 Next Saturday the contests will not be much better. Yale has selected North Carolina for her first victim. Harvard meets Rhode Island state and Princeton plays Johns Hopkins. Yale, with most of last years fresh men football players under suspen- sion, may have no easy time. Prin- ceton, also, takes a challenge from better team than she may expect es the Baltimore doctors have been improving.

Committee Must
 Soon Decide On Foe For Papyrus

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.-Less than a week remains in which the com mittee of the Jersey club must either bring off match race between zev and My Own or make an arbitrary decision as to which of these three- year-old colts is to carry the Ameri- can colors against the British cham pion, Papyrus, on October 20. By glimpsing Papyrus Sunday at the fumigated and decorated Cosden stables at Belmont park. expert American horsemen were convinced to beat him.
 The Jockey clubs committee would gladly be relieved of the responsi- bility for an arbitrary decision. They would prefer match race between Harry Sinclair's American Grayson's contender, for then there would be no question. But they real ize that if they select Zev or My Own, merely on past performances there will always be a doubt that Americas best went to the barrier against the British champion.
 Also, in the event that Zev should be chosen without a showdown on the track, the strong influence In metropolitan racing affairs of Har ry Sinclair, the Oklahoma oil million are will be suspected. Sinclair has indicated a willingness to let Zev race My Own for the right to meet Papyrus but Sam Hildreth. trainer of Zev, would not consent. claiming Zev needs all the time until the 20th of October to recover from a slight injury to one hoof. Grayson would gladly assent to the test.
 Papyrus was brought out of the stable Sunday and walked for an hour and a half with Ted Banham, the British exercise boy. in the sad dle. It was Papyrus's first workout and only a very mild one to begin three weeks course of training un- der American conditions.
 Jarvis had been told that the so- called hard American track would be really no harder than the British turf on which Papyrus Is accustomed to run The track at Belmont IS thickly covered with soft loam. but Jarvis said that even so, 1t was harder than he had expected and much harder than anything Papyrus had run upon before.
 Papyrus will not begin to gallop until he has had about 10 days work.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. so.-The Fort Worth Partners today defeated Pelicans by a score of 10 to 1 and chalked up their theird victory of the four games played so far for the Dixie baseball championship. The Partners succeeded In knocking "Rube" Robinson out of the box in the fifth inning to the showers the hurler who had won the only game of tn series for the Pelicans.

He all lowed only six hits while his team mates got to the trio of Pelican pitchers for fourteen.
 The Panthers started scoring In the second inning. Kraft, the first man up, beat out d slow roller. Hoffman walked and Haworth sacrificed. Rapp went out and Tavener, the next man up, singled to right, scoring Kraft and Holman.
 The fifth inning was the big one for Fort Worth. Pate was hit by a the right field crowd for two bases and Pate went to third. Sears drove a ball into the right field crowd, scoring Pate and Calvo and scored on Eddington's double to right. Eddingtons hit sent Robin son to the dugout and Martina took up the task of heading off the Partners. He famed Kraft but Hoff- man, the next man up, drove the ball over the right field fence for a home run, scoring Ellington ahead of him.

 The crowd that witnessed the con- test apparently was a record for New Orleans.

Panther Coaches Start Building Up For Auburn

Only momentarily checked by their set back against the Jacksonville State Normal team Saturday which Birmingh gham-Souther Partners will, go onto the practice field this aft ernoon in the opening practice of the last week before the Auburn game at Montgomery ready for the hardest week of work this season. The game Saturday brought put a good many weak places and lot of faults in the work of individual players. Coaches Charlie Brown and Douglas Wingo with these faults as their ob- 1ective will start a week of construc- tive practice which is expected the bring the Panther to the end of it smooth working machine.
 That Birmingham Southern will have one of the greatest teams of his career Is still not doubted by the followers of the Sunshine Slopes lads. With a. lot of new men and come of Saturdays battle is not so as- founding after an analysis of the team. However, the great fighting of the Jacksonville eleven was the di- rect cause of the 0-0 score.
 One or two high lights can be seen rom q bl1DlllS ndHl-SOulHeTn NltW point that serves as a soothing balm on the Panther's wounded hide. Red Farr, made-over tackle who is play ing at full this year, showed great promise in the struggle. He was the only Panther that could gain to any extent against the stonewall defense of the normal line He went through twice for gains of 10 and 15 yards and many times for lesser but sub stantial gains. He seldom failed to make headway
 Another feature of the Panther of- fensive was the great playing of the veteran, Aubrey Miller. He went into the game and displayed some of the best end running of his career. He circled the Jacksonville ends several times for long gains and threw scare after scared into the Normal packers. Students predict the greatest year of his career for Aubrey
 The running of Sid Godbee around ends and in a broken field also was a thing that lighted up the Panther students eyes to behold. Sid Is one of the fleetest men on the hill and is a dangerous runner if he ever gets loose
 "Pig" Yielding, also a new man, made one pretty run for a lo-yard gain. 5..
 The line seemed not to be able to stop the tank-like rushed of ths plunging Jacksonville full, Ditto, and Coach Brown will be engaged all this week in working out the weak points in the Partners defense. It may be that several new men will make the start against Auburn. At right end it Is doubtful who will make the start. "DAdf Howell started Saturday and Little Hoss" Candy went In. Price Howell Is also contending closely for the place and this, weeks practice will determine which of the three will start Saturday
 The backfield may present a differ ent personnel also. Coach Wingo will put his men through a gruelling week of practice and it is very likely that one or two new men will make the start.
 Reports from Montgomery have it that a large crowd will see the game there Saturday and all of the students at Womans college will turn out Special coaches will probably be pro- vided for the Birmingh Southern students. The hand and a large dele gation will attend.
