H0YAS, DUKES
IN TIE GAME

Georgetown University gridderS
and Duquesne at Pittsburgh last
night battled to a Scoreless tie in
a steady downpour which hurt
both teams scoring chances. The
unpleasant weather kept the
crowd down to 5000.
Duquesne outplayed the Hill
toppers, making nine first downs
against the Hoyas' seven. So
strong was the Duquesne de
fense in the second half that the
Hilltoppers were unable to make
first down. The Dukes com.
pleted five heaves, while George

Georgetown had q chance TO

It has been customary for
Harvardians to go nowhere except
to New Haven during any foot
ball season. The fact that they
had to make the long trip here
and suffer the Slings and the
arrows Of an outrageous joust-
ing of framework that is often
part of any railroad ride, has
annoyed them to a point Of
ferocity.
Army Has Edge
Today was the first, time that
Harvard has invaded the plains
of West Point in a generation.
But they tangled often on the
heights here in the years long
ago, and it says in the record
books that Harvard never lost on
West Point soil, which brings
precedent into existence so that
Casey can count heavily for
triumph this afternoon.
Gifted minds. attuned to foot
balling as it should be foot
balIed, have come to conclude
that "Army has o slight edge"
This germ has been fluttering
around under their hirstute
adOrnment because Of two
reasons:
/. Army is supposed to possess
a team farther advanced for mid
October than Harvard and
2. While Harvard has a veteran
backfield, it's line is green" al
though the eyes will deceive those
who look for any green tinge in
the uniforms because the uni
forms will feature nothing but
flambuoyant crimson.
Harvard Is presumed to have
one of those outfits which goes
gathering into action, hits like
Ruth, runs like Martin and
throws like a 16-inch she'll De-
spite its "greenness" they simply
have not any poise, these Har-
vardianS Of 1881 and they run
helter-skelter and very much
amuck when the occasion arises,
and often when it does not.
They read somewhere that Ma
poleon said no army ever could
win on defense and so they are
in the habit Of poking their noz-

PRINCETON

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. IT,
Cornell banked on a high-class
backfield and a line that has not
shown up particularly well this
season, as Coach Gil Dobie's 1881
edition faced the Princeton Tiger
today. Cornell was the favorite.
Today's battle is the fifth since
Princeton and Cornell resumed
relations in 1927, each having
won two games.
Princeton, which will start its
first-string backfield, spent the
night at an inn at Freeville, IL
miles from Ithaca, and was to
rest there until game time at
2::30 o'clock this afternoon.
Both teams went through light
final workouts late yesterday,

Yale, Harvard and Princeton
OF the three, Yale, playing
the University of Chicago, ap-
pears to have the best chance
for victory. But Chicago surely
showed a better machine and
more fight against Michigan last
week than the Blue displayed
against Georgia. The days big
upset may be a Chicago victory.
Harvard is carded to be merely
the means Of introducing to the
fans the real 1891 edition of the
Army, perhaps the best team at
this writing in the entire nation
and certainly the finest eleven
in the East.
Princeton might" Win
Unless Army wins decidedly
today, advance reports on the
Cadets have been screwy and
the East's great hope for an
Army triumph over Notre Dame
in egew York late next month
wilA simply die like a poor rat

Gil D0bie is supposed to have
something sweet ut Cornell and
just for . change is meeting
in Princeton a team that viii

But PrincetOn's chances are not
much better than Harvard'S, for

Orange and Black has advanced

CRIPPLED ST. JOHNS ELEVEN TO FACE CALVERT Hal
STENOG TEAM
DROPS GAME
To WESTERN
BY GARRETT WATERS

A crippled st. Johns Prep
eleven will face Calvert Hall this
afternoon at the Central Stadium
in the lone local game scheduled
for the scholaStics today.
Two of Coach Paully Bryne's
most dependable players will be
missing when the referee sounds
his whistle for opening play. They
are Battista, a tackle, and Lynch,
fullback.
Cummings and Mccarthy have
been named to fill the two posi-.
tions. Both are green youngsters,
but the best of the lot of candi-
dates under Coach Bryne's wing.
Lynch'S absence will be felt the
most by the Little Johnnies."
This lad, an experienced back,
was scheduled to do the bulk of
the ball carrying work, while his
punting was expected to be an
important measure in the teams
attack.
Expect Battle
Now the responsibilities have
been showed on Mike Scanlon,
quarterback. Scanlon is the lone
experienced man in the back.
field with Lynch absent. Jordan.
Mccarthy and Simone make up
the remainder Of the array.
The locals expect q tough
battle in view of the Calvert
Hall eleven's strength and past
record. The Baltimore Club
promises to bring a hefty and
well drilled team here.

Flynn Plays Well
The Stenogs couldn't get going
until the late quarters, and this
proved no gain, as they were un-
able to register as the final count
brings out.
However, they carried the
fight most of the time after the
half, showing hefty Lawrence
Flynn, as a backfield star, who
displayed signs of becoming
truly o great player before the
series is ended.
Western scored it's markers in
the first half. The first touch
down, in the final quarter, came
after a sustained drive from mid
field which eliminated with Lyn-
hams plunge from the 3-yard
line.
The second touchdown came in
the second quarter, an inter
cepted pass by Lynham helping
matters no little. After this lad
was downed on Business 30-yard
mark, determined drive netted
score with Hilleary going over.
Runs by Buscher and Reynolds
aided in getting the ball into ex-
cellent position during this ad-
vance.
L. Buscher Shines
A line buck by Hilleary added
the extra point after the first
touchdown. Everett Buscher's try
for the extra point failed after
the second.

BUILD THE DAILY WORKER CLUB! n
PLEDGE WEEKLY sums TO D. w.!
REMEMBER D. W. AFFAIR JULY 1g

Successful meeting Of Daily
Worker Club held in Perth Amboy
N. j., Thursday, July 2. Eleven
workers attended, a secretary was
appointed to take down minutes and
a committee elected to handle or
ganizational details. Discussion at
the first meeting was excellent.
After Comrade Murphy explained the
purpose of the club and benefits to
be derived from it, Comrade Piesto
spoke of the necessity of reading the
Daily Worker, besides the Hunga-
rian paper, TO be able to approach
American as well as Hungarian
workers.
The following suggestions of
workers were made during dis
cussions That Daily Worker Clubs
be organized at picnics and az
Open-air meetings; that members
of the Daily Worker Clubs should
not only criticize the paper, but
also develop the membership of
the club by getting new members
to Join. Comrade Murphy SuR-
gested that comrades hand the
paper around to fellow workers
and that workers should be urged
TO write about conditions In shops,
mills and factories for the Daily.
Members were also asked to go
out and sell the Daily at factory
gates, and. that to leave copies Mt
home instead of handing them
around to unemployed workers,
was the wrong attitude to take.
COmrade German thought that
young fellows out of work should
sell the Daily Worker instead of
idlfng in workers clubs.
Comrade Kovacs agreed and as
sumed responsibility for bringing
this to the attention of the youth
in Perth Amboy.
AS a whole the meeting was intel
ligently conducted and enthusiastic
cally received. The first committee
meeting was scheduled for Monday,
July 6, at which plans were to have
been made for the next
