PLAYER CONTROL
 AT B. U. NEW PLAN OF ATHLETIC DEAN

Boston, October 8 - (UP) - Player control of Athletics at Bos- ton University was announced last night by Dr. Frederick Rand Rog- CTS, newly appointed athletics dean, at a gathering of athletes and alumni.
 Under the system captains of various Boston University teams will direct games while the coaches sit in the stands.
 Coaches will not go near the team from the time the game starts until the time-keeper shoots his gun," Dean Rogers said. Despite the cries of rabid alumni and news papermen we have started player control and will increase it until a week from Saturday at Green castle. Ind" At that time. he in- dicated, the system will be in full swing. with coaches mere specta- tors and captains really directors.
 Dean Rogers, in outlining points of his athletic credo, said:
 The one important function of enlightened education is to pro- tect children from their parents and students from alumni who re- member the good old days.
 "Close the schools and abolish newspapers is a complete formula for almost instant race suicide"

 Lose to Triangles

New Haven, October 8 - Only a small crowd was on hand last evening at Donovan Field for the football game between the Tri- angles and South Ends of Middle town, but good battle was staged, and with the locals winning by a Is to score. The Triangles scored two touchdowns and also regis tered on a safety and completely outclassed their opponents from Middletown in every period.
 There was no score in the open ing quarter, but in the second Frankfurter, who went in at full back as relief for Stevens, went over the line on plunge from the one-yard line. following a steady advance by the Triangles from the center of the field. Murphy kicked the goal and there was no further scoring in the first half.

CONTINUED THOUGHTS ABOUT THE WORLD "SERIOUS."

That gentleman who used his head so well today by averting a possible wreck of the Cardinal Pa, is tagged P. F. Beane and he halls from Paradise, Pa. His tele- phone call to the railroad signal CT, but came through in time to send the trainful of players, fans and writers past the tragedy safe, ly.
 Mindful of his noble effort of last Thursday, Manager Gabby Street 'the old sarge" plans io pitch young Paul Derringer, the Kentucky schoolboy against the As tomorrow in an attempt to sew up the series and the worlds championship that goes with it. Yes, you're right, Pepper" Martin will continue to bat in cleanup position. It looks like Grove on the hill for Connie Mack, and if he can't come through, you will read of a broken old man after ward.
 Maybe it would have been better if Giant Bill Terry won the batting championship of the National league, instead of being nosed out by Chick Hafey of the Cards by q Mustache bristle. For 8 batting champ, Chick has been 8 terrible flop in the series hitting safely three times in 20 opportunities for the puny average of .150. Al Sim- mons, the American leagues prize sticker this past season was in . class with Hafcy until yesterday when he belted three out of fOur to boost his average to hits in 20 for $50.

To-Day's Sport
 P ra d e
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

II
 New York, Oct S-(UP)-If you ever have talked to Connie Mack a few minutes after the Philadelphia Athletics have finished a World Series game (and 1t doesn't matter whether the As were winners or losers) you will understand why l am hoping against hope that the Athletics polish off the Cards in those next two games in St Louis for their third successive worlds championship.
 If you have ever seen the aged Connie (he's not far from TO, now) walk into his office from the private passageway that leads from the dugout, quivering like an aspen leaf in a hurricane. and so choked with emotion he gropes around the room like blind man, you will un- derstand why I am hoping against hope that the irrepressible Pepper Martin will slacken his tremendous pace, and that Grove or Earnshaw, or somebody, will stife the Red birds attack.
 AS far as the Philadelphia and St Louis players are concerned vic- tory will mean little more than the difference between $2,500 and $5,- 900. Of course, victory will mean glory and money for Connie, too. but don't let anybody ever tell you that these are the things Connie is thinking about when he gives his men pat on the shoulder and asks them to go out there and win. The Athletics are Comics life, to him. Earnshaw, Boley, Bishop. -Aet ava ,fNf hired hands, working for a salary, but "his boys" He does not meas ure their achievements in dollars and cents or laurel wreaths. Their victories fill him with pride, and their defeats-well, you'll never know how they affect him until, as we said before, you walk into that little office and listen to him try to tell you how he feels.
 | Wants to Win
 | Defeat for his boys" this year will be doubly tough on Connie. For | it's no secret that this team-the same team that ended his long years of wandering in the cellars of | the American League--is closest to his heart than any and all of the others he has managed. It was his l dearest wish to have them win the 1881 World Series and thus estab- fish themselves as the finest team of all time. i But we think the old man is doomed to disappointment, and doomed by a bull-necked, wild eyed young Oklahoman Pepper Martin who wasn't born when Con- nie first took over the managers job at Philadelphia. This Martin man is hitting like a house a-fire, and hitting when hits mean runs but Peppers spirit means more to the Cards than his hits.
 Full of Pepper
 It was Pepper and his tremen- dous aggressiveness and high dis dain for the Athletics that lifted the Cardinals out of the doldrums after that first game in St Louis and turned the Redbirds from g beaten team into a team that ap. parently won't be beaten. The mans flaming spirit has inspired the Cards as no National League World Series club has been inspired in five years. And the Cards, fine team even without spirit, needed but a man like Pepper to make them great team.

Despite the Cards victory yes- terday the As managed to retain their following and the North Philadelphia station was crowded last night as the Athletics special pulled out.
 The fans, most of them boys and middle-aged baseball fans, had applause for each player.
 "Attaboy, Mickey, you do it!'' Mickey Cochrane, catcher, would wave and grin.
 Jimmy Foxx( hard-hitting first baseman would march by.
 "Get some more homers like that one Tuesday.
 Jimmy would half blush and
 Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove walked up the stairs, Come on, ' ,fty: You'll get 'em!" Lefty would take a couple of extra puffs on his constant cigar and seoul.
 In A Tough Spot.
 But today the Athletics had plenty to think about, especially Connie Mack, the manager. He's just two victories short of accom- plishing something never done before-three consecutive world championships.
 Mack is 6S now, and it's unrea- sonable to expect that he will have another chance to score the hith- erto unheard of feat of winning three series in row.
 If Mack does come through and achieve his third straight win, nell go down in baseball record books not only as a genial, kindly gem tleman, but as something of mir acle man as well.
 For make no mistake, the As are up against it. The regulars are off their hitting form. The pitching staff is shot. The best that Mack can do is to pitch big George Earnshaw on Friday and hope for rain the next day to give Grove complete rest.
 Mack is definitely displeased with the performance of some of his first-string> .,s. He made shake up yesterday, sending in McNair for Bishop, and Moore for Haas. These shifts were made indirectly, to startle the remaining regulars.
 Things aren't so bad with the Cards. They can start Burleigh Grimes on Friday, and, if neces- sary, come back with Paul Derrin- ger on Saturday.
 One Big Obstacle.
 The Athletics talked more about a rival player than about them. selves of course. Their subject is Pepper Martin, flashy center field CT of the Cards who yesterday equalled two world series records. The first came in making 12 hits The second was in batting in four runs in a single series game.
 That fifth game had all kinds of baseball, good pitching and bad sparkling Hitting, daring base running and umpiring the fans could question and did. It had three heroes, Martin, Hallahan and Sim mons.
 Martins fame, of course was acquired at bat where he got three hits, including a homer, 1T four turns. Hallahan's usually de pendable pitching for the Card. won him glory. Simmons was tht Athletics offensive star with three hits in four turns.
 And the score was St Louis 5 Philadelphia 1.

The jacket is the favorite but
ton-over type that is sponsored
by both Chanel and Vionnet,
and of course it may be worn
with other clothes, as it has
a belt of the white material.

Collars of made.up sets are
the same shape aS collars on
fashionable dresses. They're
round, V-shaped, long surplices,
revers and fichuS. Many Of the
newest ones are asymmetric-a
hard way Of saying they're cut
different or deeper on one side
than on the other.
Deeper Cuffs
The newest cuffs are deeper.
They're flared like gauntlets.
Or they may be fitted close to
the sleeve. But they tend to
come higher up on the sleeve
than they used to. Some, in
fact, are so deep they're almost
half sleeves.
OF course regulation depth
cuffs are fashionable, too. But
If you want your dress to look
newest, use the deeper ones.

shape neckline-cuffs for any
kind Of Observation-Disclosures or

vestees and guimpes to fill in v

And If what you want isn't
already made up, it's simple
enough to make it at home with
laces, pleatings, ruchings and
the other fashionable neckwear
materials.
Tailored Pique
Pique is still the favorite ma
terial for tailored neckwear.
But there's more Of the softer,
dressier type this season and
most Of it's made of sheer ma

Embroidered or eyelet batiste
is a favorite. So are handker-
