: Penn States only score came
early in the first period when Mike
Palm booted field goal from his
12-yard line after the; Lions had
been held for downs following a
rush downfield.
Southern California scored two
touchdowns, twice were stopped
within ten yards of other touch
downs and missed goal from
placement in the third period.
Harry Wilson and 'Tiny" Nc
Mahon were Penn States best bets,
sides, Baker, versatile falfback,
was a great performer. Don Camp
bell was an able second.
The old story of climate had
something to- do with the result.
The game started under q blaz-
ing sun. It ended in darkness,
but it found the Lions exhausted
and "au in"
Their hard jaunt across the coun-
try and the week. they spent in
conditioning had a telling effect.
Their attack lacked fire and dash.
They were lethargic after the first
ten minutes Of the first half had
passed.
The Trojans were in much finer
condition. The substitutions that
Coach Henderson made were most
ly on account Of wanting to give a
flock OF his men a chance, to get
into the fracas.
The best team won all by itself,
and that's the simple story. The
first half was a battle. After that
it was a question of a tired gang
of stout-hearted lads keeping the
thing down as much as possible.
Some idea of the power Of the
Trojan attack can be gained from
analyzing the second mars open.
ing plays. u. S. G. took the pan
i'm an exchange of puntS and In
ten plays frOm midfield scored
their second touchdown.
The Californians were a bit
panicly but persistent in their first
half efforts. The Trojans out
gained the Lions from scrimmage,
and their two marches toward Penn
States goal. were both determined
affairs.
It was heartbreaking. to have
their first march checked on Penn
States 1-yard line on the fourth
down. No one does know just
what happened on the play. but the
ball bounded back over the Trojan
line and over Penn States goal, to
be recovered by a State man, and
running the Trojan's first effort.
The Trojans were the recipients
of the breaks in the half.

But II was his offensive playing
that gave baseball fans their big
gest thrill. He would choke his
bat so far up that at times he did
not have more than twelve inches
Of hitting space on the wagon
tongue. But it was his choke grip
that brought him fame and big
salary in those days.
He could drop the ball to any
spot he. desired. The infielders or
the outfielders never knew where
to play for him. He could punch
the ball through a hole In either
side of the infield where there
might be an opening as easily as
he could drop it just over the in.

Orioles and was thanked to his

ter. This trio ranked with the
greatest Of all time.
Every one Of them could field
with the brilliancy of a McAleer or
a Clarke, and every one of them
was a dangerous man with the bat.
Kelley and Brodie, especially KEEL
ley, were distance hitters. Keller
was the place hitter.
Clark Griffith had Keller with
him when the Yankees opened in
New York in 1903. Willie batted
in No. 2 position in the hitting
order.
And that was where he belonged,
for If there ever was a player who
could send a lead-of man around
the bases it was Keller. He was
sure when called upon to sacrifice.
Once on the bases he was a dan
gerous foe to opposing pitchers.
Let the pitcher make one false
move and Willie was on his way to
second. Not an exceedingly fast
man on the paths, he iran with
his noodle" as Arlie Latham once
remarked.
Keller was always a 300 batter.
From 1893 to 1906 his average
was about $50. He played nine
teen years i'm the majors, playing
at various times with the DOdg-
ers, Orioles, Yankees and Giants.
While with the Baltimore Club
in 1897 and 1898, Keller led the
National League in batting, hitting
1872 the first time and 1873 the sec.
ond time. His .432 average ranks
second only to Hugh Duffy's .438

ROBSTOWN IS HAPPY
Competitor Of Irrigation Project
Causes Great Jubilation.

Robstown, Tex, March Sf,-Con-
siderable interest is shown by local
citizens over the completion of the
Robstown irrigation project and the
municipal water works.
These fill long felt want of the
town and are realization of dream
of the Robstown Chamber of Com
merce.
The 24-inch pumps of the irrigation
district, manned by four giant DO
horsepower engines at the pumping
station on the Nueces river, began
TO operate and in very short time
had filled the bitches of the irrigation
project and the city reservoir.
The pumps, controlled by electric
power. at the settling and purifica-
ton station, situated one-half mile
north of town and forming the sec
ond lift, were then started up, lift
ing the water from the reservoir into
the settling basins, where thorough
and exhaustive tests of its fitness
for domestic consumption were made
before il was again lifted into the
elevated tower.
These tests proved to the most
critical that the water was excellent
for drinking and other domestic pnr-
poses and only the connections into
portion of the houses are neces-
sary before the water will be turned
from the tower into the mains.
Many interested spectators followed
the water in its course from the river.

filed and water turned into a field of

late Monday afternoon made further
irrigation useless and impractical
