Penn Eleven Strong

Had a chat the other day with a former All-American star, who is now assisting in coaching one of the leading teams in the east.
 He had seen Pennsylvania in action a few days prior to my meet ing him. If tho Penn team is as good as he thinks it Is, opposing elevens are going 10 meet one of the best in the country.
 Penn has a strong line an1 plenty of good backs Rogers and Wascolonis in particular" said my informant.
 Tt has the most deceptive hid- den-ball attack I have ever seen. From the sidelines it is almost impossible to discern who is carry ing the ball from the antics per formed by every member of thf backfield.'

FOUNDER OF BRIDGE IS
 VERSATILE PERFORMER
Lcnz Excells at Several Other Games Besides His Own
 Speciality

The man who discovered bridge was a champion in several other sports before he finally became a master of the, cards in his own game.
 Bridge is the vocation and avoca- tion of Sidney s, Lenz but he has been bowling, checker and ping pong champion, and once annexed the tennis title of the Whist league. Golf and poetry even now hold more fascination for him than cards.
 The popular American card game, in which Lenz has won 30 trophies and 522 medals, was born in India, while he was searching for the origin of the rope trick" The latter he found only a myth, but he did discover bridge.
 Whist had been played for gener- ations and was the reigning favor- ite of British army officers stationed in India. It required four players, however, and frequently there were only three officers of equal rank al n post. A dummy" hand was de- vised, and thereby grew bridge Lenz brought the game home with him in 1894. He did not win his first championship until 1909. but since has acquired the international bridge and whist titles each twelve times. Simon and Schuster have i published a book on his work.

GRIDIRoN DECISIONS STICK

Almost everything In football are topics of conversation when grldiron officials In the big conferences are returning home after game. Here is ons anccdote: In 8 game some tens years ago between two mid western teams, the referee penalized one side because a player touched the ball before 1t was put into play. The point was questioned and scv- eral years later the coach asked the player, by that time a business man, whether he really touched the ball Well. I've said I didn't for so long that just can't remember the feel of, that ball anymore" ",was the re- sponse.

Mixing Two Sports

It is certain that professional foot bball will be talked pro and con at the winter meeting of the two major leagues.
 One of the main topics of con- versation will be whether big league players should be permitted to en- gage in the strenuous pastime. There are quite a few college stars in the majors who were as much at home on the gridron as the diamond during their "rah rah'' days.
 The popularity that professional football is enjoying has opened a new field for these athletes. For two months play some of the stars can get as much money as for six months labor on the ball field.
 l understand major league owners are adverse to having these players frisk injury on the gridiron. It is rumored that Connie Mack has al, ready forbidden Walter French from playing.
 It wouldn't surprise me if majo, league contracts of the future car. ried a clause putting the ban or | football.

FANS PACK STATE ARMORY
 FOR AMATEUR EXHIBITION
Clinch and Lewis, Local Boys Winners-Anock- outs and Suspected Dive on Mohawk A. c. Card.

Johnny Clinch and Eddie Lewis both local boys showing on the anna teur card of the Mohawk A. C. at the State Armory last night were vic- tors in their respective bouts. al- though both were required 10 go an extra round to win first honors, and Clinch did so only at the cost of very apparent unpopular decision. Second Win Fer Clinch. Clinch met Barney Youseman of Hartford for the second time in as many weeks and on both occasions the decision for Clinch struck a dis cordant note. Many minds are better than few and perhaps the crowd saw what the judges did not, but after the fourth round there was no dis agreement on their part and Johnny was handed the award.
 Eddie Lewis, who last week won l from Nick Florentino met another tartar in Eddie Camp of Hartford. At the end of the third round one of Lewis seconds was of the opinion that the local colored boy was the winner and indicated his disapproval Of the judges decision with school 1 boy gesture. Lewis would do well to give as well as receive advice, for such uncalled for action on the part ot his handler may cost him an earned decision some day.
 Comedy in Bout.
 Tim O'Connor of New Haven and Dan Borselli of Springfield furnished some comedy, mainly as a result of O'Connors style of fighting. Had Borselli decided to wait for O'Con- nor to lead there wouldn't have been a blow struck in the entire three rounds. Borselli won.
 When Abe Bodine of Hartford was given the decision over Charles Anderson of New Haven the crowd dlsapproved. Anderson had nothing put healthy sock and desire to 1 light, while Bodine had both ouali- ties and some science to boot, Anderson's aggressiveness and some heavy blows placed by him during the first three rounds won him ain opportunity to try for a knockout Tn the fourth. He was plainly a beat en man, but his gameness made him a decided favorite with the fans.
 Fritz Adamson, billed as welter- weight champion of the state, lost to Bill Lieberman of Springfield. Liebermans superiority was appar- ont from the start.
 Johnny Shive of Hartford got off to fast start but Johnny Andrews of New Haven beat him to it as a result of his superior mitigating. Andrews was the winner.
 Hts Floor 10 Times
 Ray Hall of Hartford planted Johnny Brennan of Waterbury on the canvas exactly 10 times in the first round and on the last down. ward trip the birdies began to chirp sweetly as Brennan's thoughts went sailing upward and onward over rolling hills, peaceful valleys and babbling brooks.
 William Kozzmot and Eddie SIoz- ger, both of Hartford were in the ring less than a minute when Kozz- mot did an Annette Kellerman, placing his chin on his elbow and waving the referee off. Referee Joe Wrist consulted with the judges and it was decided that kozzmot was not entitled to the customary losers prize, so Williams received nothing more than rubdown for his ef- forts.
 , Dan Mccarthy of Springfield , dropped the tough Joe Bard of Hartford three times during their hont and Nns an easy winner.

Lcnglcn Not Oyerrated

Saw Mile. Lenglen, most famous Of women tennis stars, in her pro- fessional debut at Madison Square Garden. It was the first time I had ever seen her play. .
 The young lady is all her press agents have said in the advance mo- tces. While l pulled strongly for Miss Wills to beat Lenglen when they met abroad. it was easy for me to see the futility of such hope.
 Opposed to Lenglen was Mary k. Rrowne, a really great player, yet the French star won as she pleased.
 Over 12,000 watched the innova- ton of professional tennis. I am inclined to think that c. c. Pyle, promoter, is going to make plenty of money with his troupe for Leng- len is a great card and gives you a run for your money.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TAKING
 CRACK AT BAY STATE TEAM
Afternoon the Professional An-New Britain Aggregation Tackles Adams, Also From Mass.

A collection Of husky pigskin war riors from the Berkshires will in wade the Hardware City of the Nut meg State tomorrow afternoon, in quest of the scalps of the All-New Britain eleven. For the past two years, the visitors from North Adams, Mass, have unsuccessfully tried to put across win over the local gridsters, to no avail. The margin of victory on both occasions was slight, the locals in 1924 just managing to nose out the Bay State eleven, to 0 and last year the ad- vantage was to 0. In both games | the All-New Britains realized that l they had met worthy foe. The | North Adams team is like many others from small communities in solar as football is concerned. Play 1 town as can be secured. are molded l together each year, and in the quiet | of the evening, practice sessions are ! held every night. This results in the club being able Se perfect a pretty fair aggregation that uses team work. very often, to offset the fact that it is not loaded up" with so- called stars.
 The North Adams team Is strik- ing example of this rule. The team than Manager Champion will bring to this city tomorrow, is regarded as the best that has ever represented North Adams. Games played so far this year, have all been placed in the victory column, and by decisive margins. The fact that the club has rolled up nearly one hundred points this season. indicates that power ful offensive is one of the clubs greatest assets. Numerous players on the visiting club have been here in past seasons, Morton, Salo, Win chester, Shano and several others. At the head of the team this year on the playing field is Red" Me | Donald, who is looked upon in his home town as being about the sweet est quarterback within the confines of professional football. If there is anything that this "redhead' cant do on the gridiron. the North Adams
 fans would like to know just what 1t is. Fitted against each other in
 tomorrow's game will be Jumbo" Gnasdow of the locals and Tiny Chimaunk, the 23O pound guard. This affair between the boys" ought to develop into a sweet tussle.
 The All-New Britains will have the services of Thompson, the tiashy quarterback in tomorrows game.
 His return to the club ought 10 have a good effect on the other members.
 Thompson flashed one of his best
 games two weeks ago, against the
 All-Springfeld eleven. Ordinarily a
 halfback. Thompson was mustered
 into service as quarterback. and
 his playing has justified the picking of the coach. The game will mark , the return to Willow Brook Park of , Captain Eddie Barnikow and Big Boy" Jack Donlon, heroes of the , 1925 crack eleven. The kickoff will , be at 2:30 o'clock with Harry Gins , berg. Gleason Parker and Dave Ma
