The MohawkS registered their tally
IN the second period, when Lynch
heaved d long forward pass to Nc
Carthy, who shared the pigskin be-
yond the goal line. driving Of
fense by the Apaches caused the Mo-
hawks to worry in the last half. With
Sweeney, Boyd. Durity and Gooch
penetrating the Indians line for neat
advantages, the ball was placed on
the Mohawks' 20-yard line. At this
stage of the game tumble, which
was recovered by Mccarthy, halted
the Apaches' march. The match
ended with the pigskin in Mohawk
territory.
Mercury Athletic Club probably will
be heard from when the unlimited
title is decided, if its play against
the Marine Barracks counts for any
thing. The winged-foot combination
triumphed, % to 0, over the Barracks
eleven, before a crowd of nearly 1000
fans. Mercury's offensive and defen-
sive play impressed and the club pre-
sented four clever ball carriers in
Cronin, Trigger, Hurd and Sullivan.
Hurd accounted for two touchdowns.
Crescent Athletic Club uncorked a
punch in its offensive play, when it
bagged 22-to-0 victory over the
Clarendon eleven. The Crescents
scored practically at will and their
opponents never threatened. Brown,
Roberts and Price were effective for
the victors.

with the Seamen Gunners, who were
downed. 81 to 0.
wfnton Athletic Club and Apache

Superior team play of the Southern
Preps caused the Circle Athletic Club
TO accept a 21-to-0 trouncing. De-

capt Stout calls the play and the play
ers then skip into their positions the

are set.
The principle virtue, it would seem,
lies in relieving the mind Of the play
ers of the duty of interpreting sig
nails. AS all who have played foot ball
know. not all players are quick at
signals and as consequence there
is not always a perfect coordination
In launching a play.
Or even if eleven men of team
are equally facile in getting the sig
nal the mental effort involved in get
ting 1t must be subtracted from the
total Of psychological concentration
involved in putting over the play.
AS for the time occupied in this
huddle idea the first impression is
that 1t requires less time to call sig
na!s but as the game progresses and
one grows accustomed to the novelty
of the arrangement the sense of
wasted time is lost.
Word comes quietly to the writer
that all is not so rosy at Ann Arbor
as one might believe. The foot ball
material is not shaping up as Field
ing Yost had hoped and expected, so
runs the story. All in all the under
current of rumor emanating from
Ferry Field is dolorous
Which reminds the writer Of an aft
ernoon last year when Yost took an
innocent person aside-it was on the
eve Of the Ohio State game-and by
deft argument and persuasive elo-
Quence convinced him that in spite Of
all facts and indications pointing to
the contrary Michigan had only a
poor chance of beating the Buckeyes.

The Columbia player that every op-

Ineligible last year, but now is being

Nandergrift is a big chap, we'll over
200 pounds, and if anything was ever
taught to Georgia Tech players it has
been speed and hard play. SO that
Nandergrft is just the man that Percy
Haughton needs as an example to

But in the past two or three years
the typical Harvard ball juggling has
lost its effectiveness and the Crimson
has felt the handicap of having only
three men carry the ball instead of
the four used by opposing teams.
Princetons silent signal system as
it is being developed this season may
well prove revolutionary. 1t is not a
new idea this huddle scheme, but no
team has gone in for 1t as seriously
and in as detailed a manner as the
Tigers have been doing this season.

ONO State did better against Iowa
than last year but the tie score was
less than the Buckeyes expected to
do.
Williams victory over Cornell was
utterly surprising but Williams is
apt to turn such a trick every once
in a while. Gil Dobie is a great
coach but he is great in stressing
unified action whereas men like
Zuppke will place stress upon the in
dividual Both arrive at the same
place in the end as rule but the
Dobie method requires longer time.
Georgia Tech is coming. That tie

keep track Of all of the threads that
were woven into the mystery, and
I'll confess that right there in the
automobile I was in something Of "a
panic when / thought of the job l
had taken on. Every new point that
came up deepened the obscurity in
which the whole affair was wrapped
and was entirely in sympathy with
one of the newspaper men whose
business 1T was to write up the rob-
berry. This fellow attributed the
whole thing to a master criminal:
THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY:
The Sleeping City.
Biggest burglary in History Bames
the Bulls!
Master Mind Behind the Wall Street
Mysterys
The imagination is staggered Git
ran) by the possibilities opened up by
this mornings outrage on the five
banks. If by wiping out the con-
sciousness of the denizens of the busi-
ness center of a great city for two
hours gang of criminals can clean
that area of all its movable wealth
tfor the loss was vastly exaggerated)
who can foretell where such opera
ttons will stop? Millions of dollars
have been lost in the robbery. Five
of the most important banks in the
country have been crippled. The
criminal no longer is satisfied with
guerrilla raids on the aw-abiding
world He has declared war!
Organized efficiency is the keynote
of this startling coup. In the exc
cution of their fell purpose the gang
of criminals have not wasted a sim
gle movement. The attack was made
with the precision that indicates a
leader of genius. Behind it is the
brain of a master crook, a Napoleon
Of crime. The mind that could con-
ceive the plan of doping a whole dis
trict by mysterious means and so or
ganize the maneuvers Of his subordi
mates is not the mind of the ordinary
denizen of the underworld. 1t is the
mind of a warped genius.
To connote the evidence is a mat
ter of difficulty. for there is no evil
dence to connote. The mind of the
master crook has seen to that. :.
The writer goes on for half a coll
umn and succeeds in telling how be-
wildered he is. Then he draws a dra-
matte picture of the scene, as he
imagines it, during the two hours:
1t is like a city of the dead.
About the silent streets recumbent
forms of sleeping men are huddIed in
the doorways or are spread acrpss
the sidewalks. Here and there, with
his useless club beside him, lies the
blue-coated guardian of the peace. A
faint CLEAN of white from another
inert figure shows where the clubman
has been overcome, stricken down by
the mysterious sleep that has fallen
like death upon the idle and the oc-
cupied alike. Automobiles. with their
brilliant headlights throwing the
level beams insisted upon by law, are
drawn UP in the roadways and seem
to carry cargoes of dead men. 1t is
as though some intangible power had
stopped all movement with the wave
of a magic wand. From the elevated
railway on Sixth comes the roar and
hum of a passing train, -.
That was a point I had missed-and
what about the subways?
-. and from pleasure districts
uptown is heard the quiet murmur

moving people. Except for these The
silence is the silence of death.

each going his own way-I suppose
with 20 kilos of gold apiece! Well
I had not thought of a perfect army
Of crooks to manhandle the stuff. He
finishes up on a great note, like an
old-time movie" subtitle:
And the mind that conceived all
this, the arch-crook, the master
criminal, brooded the while over the
conquered city. For the thousandth
time, maybe, he connoted his plan of
campaign. and smiled to think that It
could not fail. The whole of civilized
America lay at his mercy. and he had
the power. plus the will. to bring
ruin and chaos to its prosperous CEN
ters. The wealth of the Nation was
his for the grasping.
Malign this personality must be,
but 1T Is the motive power of a new
anarchistic movement against estab-
lished order? Is it, by any chance,
the master mind behind recrudes-
cence Of the idea We used to know as
Bolshevism? Until the identity Of
this Napoleon of crime Is established,
q ia I'm In ctr CT
prison, he, with his secret and mys-
terious weapon, has the wealth of the
Nation at his mercy.
If this master mind is to be beaten,
only a master mind can do it, and
we beg leave to doubt if the present
chief Of police. the spineless and su-
pine Conrad Dickermann. fills the bill,
With all my own theories gone
astray l was, as ! say, quite In SYM
pathy with this writer in his be-
wilderment What sort of crooks
were they who were capable Of re-
linquishing two million dollars in ne
gotiable securities? 1t is true that
there would have been some difficulty
in disposing of the scrip, in the face
of the broadcasttng by radio of the
descriptions, but the thing was not
impossible. The newspaper man was
right when he said that the robbery
was I" hioS'ei PicSe VI VI 6oh- AdeioiI'

the gang. Nor. was he far wrong in
attributing the organization to a

kind was behind it all. Where nei-
ther he nor his fellows were at all help
full was in suggesting a reasonable
explanation of the anesthesia.

I was hoping that Dan Lamont
would perhaps have come on some
