MISSION, Nov. 15.-Playing their
second game in four days and with a
squad weakened due to the illness of
several members. Missions outlook
for the game with Edinburg Friday
Is not 20 good. 1t is evident that
Coach Kellam will again be forced to
use a makeshift lineup, in the back
field, due to the illness of Landry. a
splendid passer, a fair kicker and a
very good defensive fullback. in addi-
ton to this he is a powerful runner.
Incidentally, Mission has not been
able to present its first string back
field intact this season for Landry.
Lehman, Murphy and Potter have all
been out at different times.
Pete Murphy signalized his return
to the lineup in the Mercedes game
by reversing his field on an end run
and going 3S yards for a touchdown,
and a few minutes later, added an
other score on a thrilling u on
which he returned a punt for about

STATE COLLEGE. Pa, Nov. 15.-R
Football teams of today are like
those Of 80 years ago only in rough
est outline, says Colonel W. B. Nc
Caskey. head Of Penn States Reserve
Officers Training Corps. He played
football as Nittany quarterback in
the old b~one-crushing years Of the
gridiron sport.
After three years spent at guiding
Lion teams through successful sea-
sons at the signal post. the diminu-
tive back was elected captain of his
giant team in 1895. During these four
years the Lion won 10 out Of q
games. losing 5 and tying 8. Nc
Caskey was graduated the following
spring.
Mass play was the favorite formu-
la for the teams in the COS when
they wanted 10 go somewhere, ac-
cording to the colonel. and ii was
at this time that the majority of
injuries took place. Flying wedges.
mass blocks and peculiar formations
were the mode.
J~ourneying to Cleveland, Ohio. in
the fall of 1896 to play Adelbert,
Penn State ran into one Of the most
difficult problems il had aver en-
countered on the gridiron.
With points equal at what proved
10 be the final score, 8 70 s. the Adel-
bert eleven, stalling for time, linked
arms and formed n circle with the
quarterback and the ball inside.
Tackling access was, indeed. difficult,

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-QP)-If any
one ever doubted the sorry condition
of the boxing game as it affects the
heavyweights, they must know now
since the ballyhoo has been begun
for the return of Jack Dempsey and
Luis Firpo.
Many critics and fans who have
the best interests Of the game at
heart are soothing at the reports,

But it seems to be a foregone con

drubbing he took at Soldiers Field
that Gene was his master and made
good his determination 10 keep the
peace as long as Gene remained in
the game.
Things are different now. Gene
IS on the shelf. a bunch Of mediocre
youngsters dominate the heavyweight
class and, the reports say, Jack needs
the money.
As for Firpo. il seems that the old
Pampas mauler just cannot with,
stand an opportunity to collect

Secrecy Surrounds Soiourn

BY the Associated Press.

LAKE TAHOE, Calf, December T.
Efforts of reporters to solve the mystery
arising out of the visit here of Mile
! Suzanne Lenglen, French tennis star,
went for naught today after they had
| interviewed every accessible member OF
| the group of persons quartered at. the
Lake Tahoe lodge of Mrs. Anita Eald-
win, hostess of the French woman.
| Mile. Lenglen and a woman said TO
| be her mother, accompanied by Thad-
| deus A. Winter, divorced husband of
| Mrs. BaldWinS daughter DeXtra, de-
| trained at Truckee, Calf, early yeSter-
day morning and went by automobile
to the seclusion of Mrs. Baldwins lodge.
! The trio arrived from Europe week
ago and successfully evaded reporters
in the transcontinental journey from
New York The party's mission has
been carefully guarded.
Reporters awaiting at the BALDWIN
lodge got their first chance at inter-
viewing when several of the guests.
swathed in heavy clothing, ventured out
into near-Zero weather for snow frollc
| and to pose before guests motion pic

One of the men, who said his name
was Niceley, but who refused to fur
ther identify himself. told the cor
respondents he was spokesman for Mrs.
Baldwin He denied any marriage was
contemplated among the guests, par
ticularly the report that Mile. Lenglen
would become the bride of either VIM
ter or Baldwin M. Baldwin, son OF the
hostess.
Mrs. Baldwin desires me to say, Mr..
Nicelev said: THAT Mile Lenglen and
Mr.. Baldwin are the very best OF
friends, they have been thrown together
great deal and Baldwin Is very tond
of tennis.
"If any romance whatever exists 1t
is between Baldwin M. Baldwin and
Mile. Lenglen, but that is their own
business, now, isn't it? Anyway, Mrs
Baldwin is very tired of the speculation
that has arisen over Mile. Lenglen's
visit and Is on the verge of collapse"
The man declared the party expected
to go to Los Angeles in few days to
join Baldwin M Baldwin for the holiday
season.
Baldwin Is reported to have a wife
and two children living in Los Angeles
and as far as is known neither he nor
his wife, the former Miss Bell Maxine
Wilson, have instituted divorce pro-
