Vim DRAPER, big Western full
back, was the stand-out for his
team in its victory over Business
~ yesterday, scoring four of its
touchdowns and registering four
extra points after touchdowns on
rushes. The game was not decided
upon until late yesterday morning and
many who doubtless would have at
tended did not know 1t was to be played.
Originally carded Tuesday it was pre-
vented by rain.
Draper was virtually unstopable, but
was given valuable aid by Gould, Quincy
Owens and Bob Cook, stalwart line
men, who consistently opened holes in
the Stenog defense. Willard was an
other back to reel off substantial yard
age for the Georgetown Scholastics.
Scoring two touchdoWnS in the first
period, Western counted in each period
thereafter. except the third and in the
final session pushed across three touch
downs to put the game in the old bag
Business, handicapped by the absence
of Linwood Jones, clever end, who did
not know the game was to be played
put up a plucky battle until worn down
by Dan Ahern'S charges and several
times made scoring threats.

day, johnson. Business back, inter-

raced so yards to the Western 15-yard

Grange, who took such long steps

how fast he was travelling until
you contrasted his speed with that

When Herbert Reed called Grange a

ease of movement which Grange gave

runs faster than Grange. but doubt
this. However, every step by eagle

Grange was more cautious and careful
as a passer than eagle, and eagles ball,
I imagine, is harder to hold.
Some players appear to better ad-
vantage on a winning team, but eagle.
like Grange, has the fighting heart of
the truly great athlete. When saw him

WARMER CONTEST

Title Favorite.

TECH and Central elevens are
putting in final preparatory ticks
today for their important public
Il high school championship foot
ball game tomorrow afternoon
In Central High School Stadium at $3.50
o'clock.
Though gridiron battles between these
old foes always have been surrounded
with a glamour that attaches to no
other tomorrow's clash is of unusual
importance in that 1t not only is GER
tain to have a decided bearing on
determining the champion, but may Just
about settle the issue. Should Tech,
which stunned District scholastic circles
with a 14-to-2 triumph over Eastern
last Friday, come through with win
over Central it will be an oddS-on
favtorite to win the championship, since
1t will have to conquer only Western
to clinch the flag.
However. Hap Hardell, willy mentor
of the Mckinley eleven, has let it be
known that he has a wholesome respect
for Dan Ahern'S Western team, par
ticularly in view of the Western 41-0
win scored over Business and the fact
that the Tech-Wcstern game is not to
be r'ayed until November S, when it is
exported that the Georgetown scholaSticS
will have gained the services of several
dependables now ineligible because of
scholastic difficulties.
Tech Won Last Year.
Last Fall Tech routed Central. 48 to
0, but Hardell believes that his team
will find the Blue and White a much
stouter opponent tomorrow. The Tech
coach has seen the Central team in
action and says that Coach Ty Rauber
has a highly capable squad. Hardell
has been particularly impressed with
the work of Larry Pickney, big Central
fullback and former Gonzaga player.
Hardell is satisfied with the work of
the Tech team with the exception of
its lack of ability to book. He has
been giving special attention this week
to practice designed to remedy this
fault
Tech so far has won over Episcopal
High and st. Johns in addition to
Eastern, while Central has beaten
Forest Park, bowed to the crack Mount
Vernon N. Y. High team, IL to Is, and
tied the sturdy York, Pa, High eleven,
z to z.
Both Central and Tech plan to start
tomorrow about the same combinations
which they have been using as their
first-string elevens.

eagle weighs 1877, about the same as
Grange, but the Illinois Red looks bigger

Grange, who has what might be termed
a f1atter build.
A necessary attribute of the great
back is ability to stand the wear and

eagle. He played the entire game
against Stanford and apparently stood
the gaff.
The knowledge that they are facing
great back who is likely to break loose
on any play keeps the other team wor-
ried every minute. This is especially
true in the case of eagle, who may run
with the ball or pass.
The appearance of a player of the
calibre of eagle adds zest to an APP

TREND TOWARD CHAIN
BANKING INCREASES
Convention Divided Sharply on
Characterization Period
Is Recognized.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, October 9.-Bankers
from the East who have been attending
the San Francisco convention have been
getting back to their offices since Satur-
day, some of them hurrying on and
abandoning original schedules on ac-
count of the unsettlement in the stock
market. Others cut their junket short
in view of the developments in their
local banking field since they left for
the coast about the middle of Sep
TENDER.
It is known that quite few of the
delegates have returned without know
ing just what their status was under
the change in ownership that had af-
fected their institutions during the past
month. This was particularly true of
bankers in the central and western Sec
tionS of New York State and in the
Detroit district, where the movement
toward the purchase of banks and the
formation of banking chains has pro-
crossed most actively recently.
On the trains coming back from Cali
fornia there was much discussion of the
trend away from unit banking and to-
ward branch or chain banking that had
developed among the delegates during
the past two years. One banker today
said that he found frequent instances
of men strongly committed to unit
banking at the Los Angeles convention,
but who were wavering on the subject
at Houston last year, who were now
either through force of circumstances
or through an inclination to adapt
themselves to coming events quite
strongly committed to chain banking.
On the other hand, there was evidence
in the failure of the convention to come
out for branch banking and in the
strong opposition to it taken by the
members of the State groups that the
subject has two strongly divided fac
tions who will argue for and against 1t
when it C. mes before Congress this
Winter.
There are phases of the new tendency
that have been expressed by Melvin
Traylor, president Of the First National
Bank of Chicago, who, with Jackson
Reynolds of the First National Bank
Of New York, are the American men,
bers Of the reorganization committee for
the, proposed International Bank. Mr.
Traylor gave out an interview in Berlir
