PENNSY'S AERIAL
PLAYS PROVE TOO
FAST FOR CORNELL

FRANKLIN FIELD, Philadelphia,
Nov. "a, tP)-Launching a series OF
bombs that came out of the sky with
particularly devastating effect in the
second period, Pennsylvania air
raiders nnopped up Cornell today by
the one-sided score of 35 to 0, be-
fore colorful Thanksgiving day
crowd Of $4,000. Few deadlier sky
sorties have been conducted on any
college gridiron this season than
the attack that Pennsylvania back
field engineered to give the Ithacans
the worst beating they have sustain
ed in the eight years that Gloomy
Gil Dobie has been bringing big
Cornell Red teams to Franklin
Field
This astonishing aerial offensive,
made more bewildering by being
coupled with sleight- -of-hand hidden
tricks, didn't hold it's effectiveness
very long, but while it was geared
to high speed, Pennsylvania scored.
five touchdowns, four of them in
second period drive that had Cor
nell's defense completely demoral-
lied.
Halfback Paul Murphy and Quar-
terback Johnny Shober were the
chief figures in the passing combina-
ton that upset the Ithacans and
put them to rout before the first
half was ended.
The astonishing, if not record
breaking effectiveness of Pennsylvan-
las passing game is shown by the
fact that the Quakers averaged close
to % yards for each of Is COM
pleted tosses The longest two, tossed
by Murphy to Shober, each gained
So yards Altogether Penn advanced
1899 yards through the air as COM
pared with Cornells total of only 25
yards onSsix completed passes.

NEBRASKA, II TO 18 In
GAME WITH NEW YORK

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. "a up = A
charging University of Nebraska foot
ball machine, that used an occasional
aerial jab to gain ground today de-
feated the violet-clad crew from the
University Of New York, q to 18, be-
fore a crowd Of $4,000 in Memorial
stadium here.
1t was New York first defeat Of the
season and was repetition of last
years encounter between these two
teams, when the Huskers spoiled an
otherwise perfect Violet record.
Nebraska, with Presnell and Howell
plunging for long gains on almost
every stab at the line, outplayed the
fasteners from the start until late in
the second period, when the Violet
machine, with Connor and Briante
carrying the brunt of the offense, stiff
fened and pushed across it's first
counter.
The New York advance was sus-
tanned in the third and fourth periods,
when the. Violets showed across two

MOUNTAINEERS HANG
TIE ON. PRESIDENTS

MORGANToWN, w. Va, Nov. "a
B.-Rising from the depths of one
of the most disastrous football sea-
sons in their history, the West Vir-
ginia university Mountaineers today
held the powerful and undefeated
Presidents of Washington & jefferson
college to a to 6 tie, and had the
ball on the one-yard line pressing for
the touchdown that would have given
them victory when the final whistle
blew.
It was the second tie scored against
w. & j. and practically eliminated
the Presidents from consideration in
the selection of mythical eastern
collegiate champion.

WAS COSTLY TO TIGERS

Physically unfit to play, for he
staggered to the sidelines as would
a drunken man, Howe showed the
fighting spirit every inch of the way,
several times turning his head to
where the teams were lined up as
if debating as to whether or not he
would return.
AS he neared the lines he removed
his headgear and tossed it aside in
disgust and disappointment Howe
wanted to remain in that game until
the finish.
I have since wondered if the
picture of Howe as he left the field
didn't have its effect on the Princeton
team. Certainly the Tigers play de-
Perforated after he retired.
While the forward pass, Hoben to
Fishwick, was the scoring play that
actually beat Princeton, 1 will always
think the passing of Howe from the
game to the sidelines was equally
costly to the Tigers chances.
Watch those sophomore Tigers next
year. Princeton is due for another
great team.

CHANGED FIGHT OF LINE

Glancing over the list of players
in the Princeton squad who were
eligible for the Yale game, find
the names of Is sophomores and as
many juniors.
While Princeton was far from a
one man team, as matter of fact
the Tiger lineup was one of the best
all-round combinations I have seen
this year, it seems to me that the
moment Center Howe passed from
the gridiron, the Princeton line lost
much of its power.
I am told that Howe, badly used
up in the Ohio State game, wasn't
physically fit to engage, in a single
scrimmage prior to the Yale game
In chat contest he was pitted against
the best center 1 have seen in action
this season, Charlesworth.
Until he was forced out because of
injuries with about IL minutes to
play, Howe held his own, despite
the fact Charlesworth was pressing
every minute. Fatigue more than
injuries finally forced Coach Roper to
withdraw Howe from the game.
How he hated to go. He fought
off five or six Tigers who sought to
induce him to depart from the field
and it was not until the officials
stepped into the picture that ne
consented to go.

Billy
ENAAAAS

A few hours before the Princeton
Yale game .chatted with a former
Princeton star, close to. Bill Roper.
In reply to my query as to how he
doped the outcome, he said:
princeton has great team, but
if the game is close and it is sshard
pressed to hold a scant lead, it
may prove unequal to the occasion
Not because of lack of courage, but
rather poise.
1.-THE Princeton team is largely
made up of sophomores. Few Of
them have ever faced Yale. 1t will
be terrific strain for most of the
youngsters and it is only natural
that they may suffer from lack OF
experience in the final stages if the
score is cloSe.'
After the game was over and Yale
had won in the closing minutes of
play, 1 vividly recalled the comments
of the Tiger star of six years back.

A score Of ClergYmen and about 100
laymen and laywOmen marched with
banners on January IL to Lambeth
Palace. where the House Of Bishops
was in session, in protest against the
possibility of revising the Book of

monies similar to those of the Roman
Catholic Church. One of the banners

RAILROADS WILL HELP
Agreement Entered Into With Rail-

Aid in Enforcing Dry Law

Prohibition Director Wynne of the Phil
adelphia district announced June u that
an agreement had been reached with nine
railroads operating through the Philadel-
phia territory that every means would be
employed by railroad officials to prevent
the use of their cars in illegal liquor ship
ments in return for the promise to stop
conhscating their cars.
Wynne hailed this as a great step to-
ward prohibition enforcement. He said
the plan had so impressed James M. Do
ran, prohibition commissioner, that Doran
sent copies of his agreement to other dry
administrators throughout the country
with the suggestion that they attempt to
reach a similar understanding with rail-
roads in their territory. The Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio, Reading, Le-
high Valley, Central of New Jersey, Della

as the physical limitations of his body

beer by the glass in the so-caled beer
parlors is a solution or partial solution of
the drink question: should have been

a time when conditions were particularly
favorable for the beer parlor business.
One of these was Camrose. I was there
