ISFEARED BY
PENN STATE
Yellow Jackets and Nittany
Lions Clash Saturday in
Big Game

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. s..
Penn State faces the test of its
season at the Yankee Stadium in
New York next Saturday against
Georgia. Tech.
With preliminary games against
Lebanon Valley and Franklin and
Marshall out OF the way the con.
test with the yellow Jackets rep
resents the first important engage
ment of the fall and it's outcome
may determine the teams success
against Syracuse, N0tfe Dame, West
Virginia and Pittsburgh.
Last season at Atlanta Coach
Bezdek's team lost to the Jackies
by a score of Is to IS and never
recovered from the setback. The
Lions also lost to Syracuse and
Pittsburgh, but held the strong
Pennsylvania squad to scoreless
tie
The development of the team this
year has been slow, as low score
victories over Lebanon and F. &
NJ. clearly indicate. but this situa-
ton has been due in measure
to injuries which have kept Cap
tain Bias Gray, FLAX and Berg
man out of the preliminary games.
The three men will start against
Tech if they are able to play in
accustomed form and the Lions ex-
pect to give the great team of the
South a hard contest. The 1925
Lion backf1eld has many inexperi-
enced men and the coaches are
relying upon the veteran linemen--
Gray, House, Michalske, Mccain
and FLAX to keep the team bal
anced.
FLAX is now playing his second
season. Gray, Michalske, Mccain
and House are three-year men.

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Baseball's tenn
perature was fever heat here today
as fair skies dawned for the second
game of the city series, following
the most sensational game in the
series history yesterday, in which
the Cubs battled the White Sox to

night with the score 2 to 2.
Cooper will be on the mound to-

At the start of the season, judg-

The first games of the season hove

the belief still prevails that Army
this year faces its best chance OF
defeating Notre Dame.
Next Saturday Knox invades the

not to give the soldiers much more

The news of the passing of

village in the Adirondacks to
bring a momentary hush today to

captain in the A. E. F. during the
world war, an apparent winner
at one phase of his fight with
the dread white plague, Matty
gave up the battle here last night.
He died at IL o'clock of tuber-
cular pneumonia.
Only a few days ago Mathewson
told visitors how well he felt. He
seemed possessed of an indomitable
determination to win through to
health again.
He had supervised the installa-
ton of radio in the Mathewson
cottage here, sothat the play-by-

season might come to his bedside.
His interest in the world series
seemed to add to his vitality,

fened to HIS bed for several

AIatty was but fOrty.five years
old. = Until a few days ago, ac-
cording to his physician, Doctor
Edward n. Packard, the veteran
pitcher had an excellent chance
of recovery, but he encountered
= sudden relapse and his weakened
physique was not equal to the
enemy.
Mrs. Mathewson was at his bed
side when the end came. She had
been with him constantly since
failing health compelled him to
give up his duties as president of
the Braves. Mathewson also leaves
a son. Christy, jr., who is a stu
dent in college.
Mathewson joined the army in
1918 and became captain in the
chemical warfare service. He served
overseas and was gassed, a turn
of fate that marked the beginning Of
the end of his health. Matty re-
turned to America to fight an uphill
battle against tuberculosis.
