Second Mat Title

The Oklahoma Aggies, cheered by
the return of veteran squad of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--Prompt
action will be sought by sponsors
of two moves in the House designed
to smooth out differences between
the military and naval academies so
they may continue their annual
football classic.
Resolutions by Representatives
Britten, Illinois, and Fish, New
York, asking the secretaries of the
War and Navy Departments to seek
a compromise, went today to the
Military Affairs Committee, where
they will be taken up after the holi-
days.
There is no hurry" Fish said to-
day, "but I will press for action
after Christmas"
Both Fish and Britten feel con-
f1dent a compromise agreement can
be reached. Fish is from the West
Point district in New York. He sug-
gested that the Army adopt a four
year eligibility rule if it would not
accept the three-year rule suggested
by Annapolis.

series between New York and Pitts
burgh, he gave one Of his sterling
performances when he set down
twenty-five of the Pirates in order.
1t seemed for time as if he might
pitch a perfect game.
However, just prior to the start
of the eighth session the Yanks had
enjoyed batting rally that took
about ten minutes and Pennock, sit
ting on the bench, so cooled off that
he wasn't at his best when he re-
turned to the rubber.
When one speaks of a courageous
exhibition of pitching the inference
is that the game must have been
a low score affair, featuring air.
tight hurting.
Quite to the contrary, in the
game where PennOck showed me
there never was more lion
hearted pitcher, he was batted
hard throughout. And after all,
that is when it takes real courage
to carry on.
u Il
TINE game have in mind was
4 the sixth and crucial one of
the 1928 world series. Pennock had
won one game and saved another
by his relief work. Selected to pitch
the sixth game, with the count
standing three games to two in ia
vor of the Yankees, it was apparent
the Americans had a great chance
to triumph over the Giants, unless
Pennock had been overworked.
had my doubts when Pennock
stepped to the mound, for I feared
three games in five days, two of
which he started, would prove too
great task. After I saw him pitch
for an inning, was positive he was
far from the top of his game.
u Il
It was evident from the way
the Giants slammed away at his
offerings that he didn't have his
usual stuff. However, he did have
his customary pOise and uncanny
control.
Babe Ruth staked Pennock- to
one-run lead with a home run drive
in the first inning, but three slash
ing hits by. the Giants quickly
evened the count in their half.
In the fourth inning, two hits
rave the Giants the run that sent
TcGraw's team into the 'ead/ A
lome run by Catcher Frank Sny-
'er in the sixth stretched the mar
in to two runs.
In every inning the Giants
necked away at PennOck's de-
livery. 1t seemed they would
score in every session, but always
some brilliant fielding feat or SUI
per pinch pitching by the slim
southpaw temporarily would avert
what seemed to be impending
disaster.
TEN hits were made off Pennock's
delivery, but they fail to tell the
story of just how hard he was
batted. Yet, through it all, he never
once wavered. Realizing he didn't
have his stuff, he matched his wits
with every batter and as a result
was often in trouble trying to make
the opposition bite at bad balls.
Pennock kept plugging away when
most pitchers would have said
whats the use," and gotten care
less. The break came in the eighth
inning. With the score standing Al
against the Yanks, his teammates
made five runs through combina-
ton of hits and bases on balls,
mostly the latter.
New York Americans won the
game and the series, Ga, simply be-
cause Pennock never once lost
heart, even though he was batted
hard in every inning.
