Let's get the picture.

that Johnny Longs laddies carr
too many weapons for the Insti-
tute. They'll tell you. that Longs
second team is as strong rs his
first and that LaSalle is handi-
capped BY the lack Of reserve ma
terial. And as If that were not
enough to convince you they Il
hearken you back to 1889 when n
fast charging Hilltop horde smash
ed LaSalle into submission. Blu:
in spite of such assertions the
staunch supporters OF LaSalle In
stitute can't be- convinced tina:
their hopefuls will go down to dc.
feat.
Improvement Noted
To offset the Fort Hill angle the
Blue and Gold following can pro
duce several interesting rcbuttalS.
For instance. they can show you
that this time last year LaSallC
had not won a game but to date
this year has already conquered
Keyscr and played scoreless stale
mates with JOhnStown and Nor
gantown. That's Rebuttal No. !.
Rebuttal No. .. and a good one a.
that. is that in Pat Conway. the
Institute is fortified with an ex-
pcricnced coach. a man who's been
around. as they say in the sport
ing vcrnacular. Rebuttal No. 3?
The fact that LaSalle'S unblem-
ished record will send the squad
into Skirmish tomorrow night bub
bling over with confidence.
There you have it and there you
don't have it, But to unbiased
and impartial observers Fort Hill
appears to be the better team by
two touchdowns. The Fort Hill
argument that the Public School
eleven is wcll-equiped with re
serves may go long way towards
settling the issue tomorrow night.
But irrespective OF the outcome.

Unique World Series
The World Series is gone-but
not forgotten. For the first time
in history the series was unique i'll
that it produced neither an out
standing hero or a goat" All
seven games were well played and
the fielding apparently. must have
been ultra sensational. Topping
that of. the pitching was exec.
lent. the batting good and the
catching so Eawlcss that not one
swiped sack was put into the rec
ords.
The ilnging icats OF Bucky
Ncwsomc. Paul Dcrringcr and
BucEy Walters were among thc
best III the annals OF series sta
tiS:iCs. Ncwsome allowed only four
runs in three complete games
while walters handcuiied the
Tigers with two tallies in 10 full
frames. Derringer punched of
the premises in less than two
rounds in his opening start. then
came back and set the Bengal5
down with just three scores in "a
chuckers. You can't trim that
in any league.
