MAGNATES MAY
SHORTEN
SEASON
World Series in Football
Weather Causes Moguls
to Discuss Change

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The base
ball season probably will end
week earlier in 1926 than it did
this season and the world series
will be moved up a week earlier,
The reason that the present lbs
game schedule has not been I'M
istfed until October A during the
part. few seasons is because sun
day games are not played IN BoS-
ton and Philadelphia. This hand
lean keeps these Eastern CLUBS
several games behind the rest OF
the cities on both the National ana
American League circuits.
President Heydler said yesterday
that the question would be as
cussed by the club owners at their
annual meetings on the SECOND
Tuesday in December. The cIuD
owners have not yet discussed ~
collectively, but President Heyoler
said that an effort would be made
to tighten the schedule up Weeh
IL such !. thing were possible. y
The schedule. will not be cut
down under any condition, because
the 154-game program has peen
traditional in major league basepa4l
and will continue. The series as
played this year was not later than
or even as late as in some former
years, but on account OF the rapld
growth Of football there has Deen
objection from many fans on ac-
count OF the conflicting or the Two
sports.
Years ago early season footoah
games were merely tryouts Tor
eleven preparatory to important
games which were to come later
Football elevens now start to play
important games just as soon as
the season starts.
Years ago the baseball season
ended much later than it does now:
The season OF 1911 was not ended
until October IL and the world
series that year between the
Giants and Athletics began on
October IA and did not end until
October &c.
There were several open dates
during the last two weeks OF the
season this year, because the
majority of the clubs had to re-
main idle while the Boston ana
Philadelphia clubs were finishing
their schedules. Next season much
of this idleness may be eliminated
by scheduling more double-headels
for the clubs in the cities which
play no Sunday ball.

SECRET PRACTICE HELD

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 21.-The
University Of Pennsylvania eleven

started yesterday on Franklin Field
here today in order to project the
new set of plays to be used against
the Chicago University team next
Saturday afternoon.
Coach Young started teaching his
pupils the new plays yesterday and
the team was kept busy until late
last night. 1t is said most OF the
plays used to win from Yale last
Saturday will be discarded and
practically a new set of tricks"
will be used against Coach Stages
Westerners.
Yesterday the new plays were
tried out against PENIS scrub team.
The entire scrimmage was devoted
to offensive work, and varsity car
ried the ball at all times.

BUCKNELL
Two Speedy Backs Expected
to Cause Trouble for
HiIItoppers

Bushnell, which appears here
Saturday at American League Park
for its annual tussle with George
town. still possesses Diehi and
Blaisdell, the two fleet running
backs, who hung singing defeat
on the HiIItoppers last fall. Either
is difficult man to step and each
appears to be showing more ability
this year than last. For instance,
Blaisdeu romped through the Has
kell Indians last Saturday Tor
rs yards, despite the fact that the
field was veritable quagn1ire.
Charlie Moran, who coaches
Bucknell, IS the same canny gentle
man who shocked orthodox eastern
football critics some years ago
With his famous praying Colonies
from Centre College, and this year
he has in DiehI and Blaisden two
ground gamers who do not tall far
snort OF the ability flashed by the
celebrated 'Bon Mcmillan. Moran
always has been a wonder for de-
yeIoping a flashing offensive, and
with two men like the above-men-
toned, he ought to have something
worthwhile to exhibit at Griffith
Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The game should be replete with
everything that goes to make q
great gridirOn battle. There is
natural rivalry between the two
schools in all branches Of sports.
Furthermore, the Hilltoppers are
still peevisIl because OF that I'M
expected setback suffered last
year. And, when Hilltop eleven
goes out for revenge, the opposing
combination must be prepared to
play q lot of football to stay on
the heavy end of the score.
Georgetown is right" this year.
There are twelve backs In the first
squad this year, all Of varsity
caliber. In addition, Little has in
McGrath and Waite a. pair OF ends
that he would not trade for any
flankmen in the game. The tackles
and guards are exceptionally we'll
qualified, while for the pivot berth
there are Grigsby, Golsen, and
Brennan, all about on a par.
Heretoforee, Little has relied on
plain, running attack. He has not
been required to show anything
more. However, IL his backs fail to
reel off yardage on straight football
Saturday, the combination -
equipped to unleash q lot Of stuff
that heretofore has been held in
reserve.
