NEVER HAS
 BEEN WITH LOSER
Michigan Captain Always Played
 on Winning Team
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press. !
 Chicago, Oct. 15.-In nearly two score football games, Herb Steger, of Oak Park, Ill., captain of the University of Michigan eleven, has developed the unique record of never having played on a losing team. In next Saturdays game his record will meet its supreme test when his team plays the dedicatory game at the Illinois stadium at Ur- hana. Michigan and Illinois tied for the western conferenceIs cham pionship last season, although they did not face each other.
 In the Is games steger has played with Michigan, the closest call was a scoreless tie with Vanderbilt in 1922. He started in the lineup in only one game that year, the contest with Illinois, Last year he was a regular and shared Michigan's seven victories. He has aided in two victories this season.
 Under Glenn Thistlethwaite, now coach at Northwestern, the Oak Park high school ran up long string of victories in which Steger was one of the backfield mainstays.
 Such a string of victories has brought Steger the title of Coach Yost's mascot"

STUDENTS STRIKE l IN FOOTBALL ROW
Clemens College Player Sus-
 pended..ACtion Follows

Washington, Oct. i5.--About 500 members of the student body of Clemson college, state institution, are on strike" because of the fail- ure of college officials to comply with certain demands contained in a petition presented by members of the senior class. A statement given out at the school declared about $50" cadets were still out last night, but 1t was asserted that a number who had left in the afternoon had returned.
 Reinstatement of R. F. tButch) Holohan, president of the senior class and member of the football team, who was suspended for one year after trial by the college dis cipline committee on charge of drinking whiskey, was regarded as the principal demand in the students petition, which also asked that food of better quality be served and that J. D. Harcombe, mess officer, tender his resignation.
 Acting President Samuel B. Earle, in statement said he was investi- gating the quality and amount of feod served in the mess hall and would do "all in his power to see that the students had enough to eat" He refused to ask for the resignation of the mess officer and said he had explained to Cadet Hol- chan how he could appeal from the decision of the discipline committee.
 MT. Earle declared the petition presented to him was signed by 137 members of the senior class, but that 113 of them later withdrew their names. All members of the varsity and freshmen football teams, 1t was added, remained at the schools.
 Clemson is the state agricultural and mechanical college and is oper- ated along the lines of military academy. The enrolment is approx imately 1000.

CORNELL MEETS UP
 WITH RUTGERS NOW
Big Red EIeYen's Work Will Be
 Closely Watched
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Oct. 15.-Cornell's re- action to its first defeat in four years win be watched with interest Saturday when tho Big Red sends the same lineup which lost to Will Hams against a veteran Rutgers eleven In the first meeting between the two scheduled for several years.
 Feverishly preparing and confident of its ability to repeat the achieve ment of Williams, Rutgers is sharp- ening up the point of its form direct ed at Cornell since the season began. George Foster Sanford, former men, tor of the New Jersey school, will return this week to aid Head Coach Jack Wallace.
 At Ithaca, Dobie is working with the same outfit which lost to- Will Hams. The players are bending to the grind with all of the earnestness of men under a shadow and the note which they strike at Rutgers is ex- pected to sound the quality of their performance against Columbia. Dart mouth and Penn in later games.
 Loose handling of the ball, the mortal sin of a backfield man, led to Williams first opportunity to score last week and Coach Dobie is con- centrating on elimination of this de- feat. A general improyement of the offense, with particular emphasis upon placement goals for use if an- other tie looms near the end of the game, was stressed today and will be pressed throughout the week.
 Back of the game itself, observers are waiting to glimpse the possible effect of the defeat upon a team whose tradition since Thanksgiving day in 1920 had been one of con stant victory During the interven- ing period a spirit of confidence in the, Dobie system had been carefully preserved by schedule none too rigorous. Dobie's prestige is not placed in jeopardy but the possible effect of the defeat upon the moral" of the players will be. watched.
 In 26 straight winning games Col nell scored 1,134 points against S earned by it's opponents. In 15 con tests the opposition was kept score less. Colgate, Dartmouth, Coumbia and Pennsylvania were the most i'm portant elevens crushed 'by the Do bic jusgernaut during the Rel regime. Absence of star like kaw or Pfann is ere iited by some with causing the downfall of the team which had learned to depend upon individual effort.

M'GRAW PLANNING
 NEXT YEARS TEAM
Wants Young Infeld-.LindStrom
 at Third Likely
By The Associated Press,

By The Associated Press
 New York, Oct. 15.-John Me Graw, veteran manager of the New York Giants, already is figuring upon his 1925 campaign and bid for his fifth straight National League pennant.
 Temporarily, the Giant chieftain will take a well-earned vacation in connection with the European tour of the Giants and White Sox, after one of the most strenuous campaigns he has ever had, but upon his re- turn he intends to line up his forces for the coming year. He left tonight for Quebec, where he will join the tourists and sail tomorrow night on the steamer Mount Royal for Liver pool. They expect to return Novem- Der 25 on the Leviathan from Cher bourg.
 Confidence in Team.
 Discussing his 1925 prospects to- day McGraw expressed confidence that his team would be even more formidable than this year, with new talent developing rapidly. The Giants finished the season and went through the worlds series with two rockies, Lindstrom and Terry, in the infield, and another, Wilson in the outfield. In addition, McGraw fig ures that such newcomers as Dean, Maun and Baldwin in the pitching box will strengthen his hurling corps for 1925.
 Dean, obtained from Louisville, was something of disappointment this year, but McGraw believes he has the stuff and that the years ex- periefice will have benefited him greatly.
 T probably will bolster the catch ing department before another cam paign opens" McGraw continued. Frank Snyder was of little use dur ing the closing part of the past sea- son and I can't tell what shape he'll be in for 1925, Hank Gowdy stood up nobly this year under the heavy work but you know Hank cant go on forever"
 McGraw would not say whether he intends to displace Heinie Groh with Lindstrom at third base regu- larly as result of the 19 year old schoolboy's sensational playing the last part of the season. The condi- ton of Groh's injured knee will be a factor, of course, in his decision, but baseball Men generally predict that Lindstrom has demonstrated he has unusual natural ability.
 Young Infield
 AS it played through the worlds series, McGraw's infield is one of the youngest combinations that ever participated in the championship Lindstrom will not be 19 and Travis Jackson, shortstop, will not be 21 until November. Frisch, captain and keystone sack guardian, has just passed his 18th birthday anniver- sary and Bill Terry, who replaced George Kelly most of the time at first base is only 24.
 Pittsburgh, McGraw figures, will be the Giants principal rival in 1925, for the Pirates have also ac. auired an unusual array of promis. ing young material, notable Cuyle, and Moore, outfelders. Wright star shortstop and Kremer and Yde Pitchers.

SlO0,OOO IS PRICE
 PUT ON JOE BOLEY
Baltimore Manager Won't Sell
 Him for a Cent Less

Baltimore, Md, Oct, IS. - One hundred thousand dollars or not a cent.
 That's the price set upon the brow of oJhn Bopolslt-none other than Joe Boley himself. the great. est shortstop in the minors"
 Jack Dunn, owner and manager of the Baltimore Orioles, six times champions of i he International league. greatest record breaking club in organized baseball, Is the man who labeled Joe.
 Joe does the shortstopping for Dunn--those six years Dunn has been winning pennants by anywhere from six to 16 lengths.
 Wilbert Robinson of the Dodgers year ago shot his price up to ESQ., GOO for Boley. Dunn refused. Rob- bic went another five thousand. There wasn't a nibble from Dunn.
 The White Sox made a bid of $50, ,0oO two years ago. Dunn turned to the society page and continued his reading.
 Reported Sold For S10O,OOO Now there comes the report that MT. Dunn has at last sold his prize beauty for the price he wants - s1OO, ,00O--and the glad news for everybody but Baltimore fandom will be announced in due time. Boley's admirers do not want 10 sec him leave the Orioles. But they realize that no man calf give his best for six years on fighting championship minor league club and still have any too much to spare , when he goes up.
 Boley either goes up now or never. His six years of toll would avail him nothing, because if a minor can't go up he feels he has 1 been a failure.
 And a man who has shortstopped on a siX-time consecutive winner is no bust.
 Ten years ago Joe had never seen a baseball. He worked 10 hours a day in a coal mine in Mahoney City, Pa. For months he never saw daylight. working a day turn in the mines
 Joe and a mining donkey collided and he got bump and grouch at the same time. The combination caused him to quit his job and get lung full of fresh air.
 Started at Pitcher and Catcher From sandlot baseball, where he pitched and caught Joe ambled into scmi-pro baseball at Johnstown and then into pro-basehall as a second sacker at Harrisburg, New York State league.
 Dunn got him in 1918, toned him up bit and shot him in at short.
 Dunn was warned that Joe's eyes were bad, due 10 his long confiie- ment in the coal mines. He was told mat Joe would never do at such a vital spot the field. Dunn's answer was that he would give Joe a season of daylight and see how it worked.
 It worked. Joe hit over 300 and ffelded .947 in 137 games. He i'm proved in batting in 1920. And con- tlnued to shine aficld. Dunn WAS winning his flags. Offers were made for Boley but Dunn held on to him.
 At the beginning of this year Bo- ley's salary was $9,oOO, more money than paid to any other shortstop in the league.
 And what makes Boley's sale story sound plausible is the intima.
 ton from Oriole park that Dunn i, going to dismantle his great baseball machine this year.
