Guiding two stakes, Saturday, the clos
ing day at Woodbine.
The clicker system has been aban-
doned at Laurel, and large totalizer
board has been erected in the lower

tenn used at Bowie.
Nine stake races have been listed dur
ing the meeting, for which the best

dies.
The largest money event will be the
Washington Handicap, with $4,000

doubtless will attract Osmand. Victorian
and Crusader and should settle the dis
puted supremacy between the three for
the Eastern handicap honors.

n YEW YORK, october Prince
ton, first of the big Eastern
colleges to adopt the huddle

Signal-calling system in vogue
before uuarterbacks had so much vocal
opposition from the crowds.
The change was not made because
Bill Roper. the Tigers head coach,
thought the crowds were going to he
any smaller this season. But Bill feels
that the huddle system has lost one
of its chief advantages through the
new ruling, which forces players coming
out of the huddle to halt full second
at the line of scrimmage before the
ball can be snapped. Heretofore the
ball could be passed back before the
defensive team had chance to meet
new line or back formations. A quail
terback with husky pair of lungs
ought to be able to be heard above the
clamor of the crowd. however loud the
noise it makes, Bill opines. At any
rate, the quarterback will be calling
signals when Princeton lines up against
Vermont in its opening game on Sat-
urday.

N account of the close finishes
in both major league races the
impression is quite general that
~ the Yankees and Cardinals will
meet in a tired" world series
affair.
That is merely a theory. Ball play
ers seldom are physically tagged out
when the Fall classic is at hand. The
thought of the big series is inspiring in
itself, and the players go to bed and
awaken with thoughts OF possible gold
and glory on their minds. The reaction
from the pennant strain does not really
assert itself till the series Is over.
True enough, the Yankees have
hospital list that is likely to handicap
them in their tits with the Cardinals,
but the Higgins tribe is not tired out"
by any means. I saw them at Detroit
last week, and they played snappy and
courageous ball when the pennant was
at stake.
Loss of Pernock Blow.
It is certain that Pennock will not
pitch in the series This is matter
of deep regret to American League fol-
lowers, as this great left-hander has a
habit Of measuring his brill.ance to the
occasion.
Tony Lazzeri will play second base
with an injured shoulder When
asked him whether he would play he

Penn will rely in the main upon
its hidden bail stuff for victory.
No Eastern eleven has such wealth
of veteran backs to start with as
Penn has. In Captain Scull the Red
and Blue has one of the most versa
tile ones in the country, whereas in
Murphy, now placed at half, Young
has as elusive a runner as the game
knows in the East.
PENIS offensive formation as the
diagram shows, differs radically from
most any other in the land. In
the first place the line is more I'M
balanced five linemen playing on
the strong side. In the second place
the two wing blcks play inside their
ends. Penn does this to permit
better manipulation of the ball.
One pass Penn will likely use to-
day is started when the center losses
it to No. 2, who turns to his right
and fakes giving it to No. 4, who
runs to the left and fakes carrying
the ball. No now gives ground to
the rear, turns quickly and passes
to No /. usually Murphy. Murphy
caught such a pass against Columbia
last year and wormed his way
through the opposition backfield for
touchdown.
