Bucknell's first football victory, Z to

Unbeaten Gridders On Local Field Sunday
1t Was EckersaII Versus Other Team;
Little Man Vests First An-America

Hurry Up Yost taught Michigan
kickers to boot out Of bounds to
keep Eckie from running the ball
back.
AS q safety man, Eckie was
eluded only once-by the great
Heston.
Taking the kickof on his four,
Eckersall made one Of the longest
runs in football history against Wis
consin in 1904 for 100 yards and
touchdown. The field was ITO yards
long at that time.
In 1905, although the sun was
shining brightly at Madison, the
Wisconsin management flooded the
field in an effort to stop Eckersall.
The ruse failed, however, for on q
mirey field Eckie split the uprights
with dropkick in the second half
and Chicago prevailed 40, the field
goal count having been changed to
four.
SNAPPED MICHIGAN STREAK
Michigan was stopped on Chi
cago's two in 1905. Eckersall, see
ing that Wolverine end was out
Of position, called for a punt for
nation and crossed the defense by
running, lugged the leather mid
field.
Eckie then punted over the Michi-
gan goal line and Denny Clark, at
tempting to run the ball back, was
tackled for safety, giving Chicago
a 20 victory and breaking the FIVE
year unbeaten record Of Fielding
Yost's famous point-a-minute var
sity.
Although he was forward pass
ing in competition for the first
time, Eckersall was phenomenal
with the weapon as Chicago wal
loped Illinois, $50, in 1905. He
missed only once and his first toss
to Wally Steffen was good for rs
yards and accounted for Amos
Alonzo Stages teams first touch
down.
They still talk Of Walter Ecker
sail, which is as great tribute as
could be paid him.

In addition to being one Of the
most accurate dropkickers the game
ever knew, Walter Herbert Eckersall
was q brilliant strategist.
Walter Eckersall, footballs art
full dodger, was fast enough to bring
feet Willie Heston Of Michigan
down from behind.
Eckersall, q remarkable all
around athlete, Weighing no more
than las pounds, was the vests
first All-America, Walter Camp
selecting Chicago's amazing quar-
terback three years In row.
Eckie twice dropkicked five field
goals in q game--against Illinois in
1905 and in his last time out with
Nebraska forming the opposition
In O6.
They didn't say Chicago versus
Wisconsin or whatever school the
Maroon was playing. It was Ecker
sail versus Wisconsin, etc. In 1908
the game at Madison actually was
advertised on posters: Eckersall VS..
Wisconsin. And when It was fin-
ished, cards were displayed In shop

dropkicked three.
The forward pass was introduced
in Eckersall's final year and he took
to It like Pop Warner to the double
wing. Eckie, q fine shortstop in
baseball--the mark Of the true ath-
lete, would have been even more
valuable in the modern game,

Cleveland, Oct. % -(UP)- Lee
Savold, the blond heavyweight from
Paterson. N. j., waited more than
two weeks to get his revenge on
Eddie Blunt, Brooklyn Negro, and
then got 1t In less than two minutes.
The 195-pounder, who wants q
shot at Joe Louis heavyweight title
when the war Is over caught Blunt
with q knockout blow in a minute
and SO seconds after their scheduled
l0-round bout started in the Cleve-
ladn Arena last night. Blunt
weighed 22o pounds.
Going In at the bell, Savold made
standees out of the 5000 spectators
In a hurry by lunging at Blunt and
catching him with a savage right
on the Jaw. Blunt went down but
was up at the count Of one. Savold
felled him again in 80 seconds with
a left to the jaw. This time Blunt
was UP before count started, but
went down for a nine count an In
slant later with a third smash to
the jaw.
The telling blow was a left to the
head after the Negro absorbed
nearly a dozen short jabs in quick
succession.
No FO0lin'
Savold made good his prediction
that there would be mo fooling
around this time. Blunt's victory
at Akron, O., by decision, snapped
a string of 10 successive victories
for Savold.
The victory for Savold provided
an excellent setup for a good gate
for his Madison Square Garden
bout in New York, Nov. 8, against
Tami Mauriello. He also expressed
a desire for an early return engage
ment with Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland,
who holds a decision over him.

leo DUROCHER.
STILL IN DOUBT
DESPITE CONEAB
BY CARL LUNDQUIsT


UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, Oct. 23-(UP)-The
newsprint conservation program
suffered a blow today when Branch
Hickey, the Demosthenes Of the
Dodgers, announced that he would
hold regular off-season press con-
efrences again this year.
If the baseball writer's faithfully
record the flow Of words from the
Brooklyn president, the sports pages
simply won't hold them under the
present restricted allotment.
Hickey held his long awaited con-
ference with Manager Leo Durocher
at his new home in Forest Hills, N.
Y, yesterday and though reticent
at first, eventually he unwound a
typical reel Of double talk concern
ing the outcome Of the meeting.
Supposedly held to discuss Duro-
cheers prospects Of continuing as
manager in 1914, Hickey said that
they merely played pool in the rum
pus room and that Leo gave him a
neat drubbing.
IT have given Leo no definite an
swer," he said. "In fact l have given
myself no definite answer. I may
have q story at our first press con-
ference on Monday, and then again
there may be no story Monday. I
have been thinking this thing
through, will continue to think II
through tomorrow and over the
week end. I can say only that ]
shall have no news before Monday"
Durocher, whose eloquence Is
slightly more earthly, though no less
picturesque than Rickey's, indicated
the results Of the meeting were far
from satisfactory to him.
II know nothing more than be-
fore went in there" he said. "Fur-
thermore, he said nothing about
this Monday meeting to me, so as
far as I know 1t will be held with
out me-"
Durocher was given his release as
manager near the close Of the sea-
son, but Hickey said this did not
mean necessarily that he was out OF
q Job. He said Durocher would be
free to negotiate along with other
candidates.
After that hickey repeatedly con-
ferred with several prominent base
ball personalities, including Bill
Terry, former New York Giant pilot
and Ray Blades, Rickey's manager
at st. Louis preceding Billy South
worth. He spent a week in ST.
Louis after the World Series, pre-
sumably to market some cows from
his country acres there, but 1t gen.
orally was believed that he spent
some time comforting with pros
pective pilots.
Durocher, still highly popular
with Brooklyn fans, probably would
have the inside track for the Job Il
he conformed to certain Of Rickey's
edicts. Last year Hickey put a halt
to the teams high stakes poker
playing and recently said that Dur.
ocher would have TO stop some Of
his extra -curricular activities ant
concentrate his entire attention or
managing the club, II he wished Il
continue In the post.
Durocher repeatedly has had sew
eral offers to 60 into vaudeville
and has several close friends among
show people. However, he empha'
sized that his first desire was te
continue as manager Of the Dodg-
ers and that If Hickey made him
the right salary offer he would fore
60 all Of his outside interests.

ChmieIewski
Knockout Winner

Boston, Oct. 23-UP)-Despite q
years layoff, Middleweight Henry
Chmielewski Of Portland, Me-, has
proved to Jackie Caparell of Boston
that he still has one Of the most
devastating right hands in the ring
today.
Chmielewski smashed Caparell
with right hook flush on the jaw
midway in their scheduled 10-round
match at Mechanics building last
night to pave the way for a tech
nical knockout victory in the eighth
round.
The punch opened cut above
Caparells right eye which bled so
profusely that he was unable to
stop a rain Of lefts and rights to
the head and was dazedly trying to
cover up when Referee Tommy
Rawson halted the fight.
Prior to that punch, Caparell APP
peared to be ahead, out-boXing and
out-slugging Chmieiewski who also
was cut near the right eye when
dropped with a solid right hand
punch in the second round.
Chmieewski weighed, 1866, Capa-
rell, 1876.
In an eight round semi final,
Tommy Bell, l46, of oungstown, o.,
technically knocked out Willie
Cheatum, 142, of New York City in
the seventh round.
Six round matches saw Jackie
Connors, 40, of Newark, N. j., de-
ciSion Baby Galento, l42, of Chica.
60; and Howard Thompson, 200, Of
Saugus technically knock out Tay-
lor Eaton, 179, of Detroit in the
second round.
In o four rounder, Mike Cascio,

Registered U. S. Patent ONCE
By JACK CUDDY

BY JACK CUDDY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. % - (UP0 -
Commissioner Lands recent an
nouncement that major league
clubs would train in the north again
next spring struck us as prema-
ture soft-soaping announcement
from an apologist who wished to as
sure Washington that baseball
would be as painless as possible to
o war concentrated nation, II per-
mitted to continue. r.
Was this premature announce
ment necessary? Did baseball have
to do this early ot-licking? Could
MT Lands have waited until the
December league meetings, at least,
when the matter of possible south
ern training could have been dis
cussed intelligently by the club
owners and representatives Of any
Washington departments concern
ed?
Is major league baseball q project
that has to be boot-legged through
the war periodp Our understanding
Of the national pastime makes 1t an
invaluable stimulant to civilian
morale among the home-front
fighters" the defense factory
workers, the people who have rela-
tives at the front, the war-bond
buyers.
II this Is not true - II major
league baseball has no part in the
war effort; then why not abolish 1t
for the duration? Why try to carry
on in apologist fashion? There
should be nothing sub-rosa about
this sport. 1t Is not a black market
Of entertainment.
In some quarters Lands prema-
ture announcement was hailed as
the robust indication that the IT.
year old ledge" had decided that
baseball would carry on next season.
Bologna! Baseball, like any other
non-essential enterprise, will carry
on If 1t has the manpower left after
inroads of the draft fathers. Every
club owner knows that. 1t wasn't
necessary for high-salaried Lands
to make this meaningless decision.
And 1t wasn't necessary for Lam
dis to make his premature an
nouncement about northern train
ing. In this Democracy, who was
he trying to soft soap? Was 1t
someone in Washington? If so, why
didn't the judge mention 1t? Was
it the boys in uniform? If Lands
knows that the boys in service OBJ
ject to the continuance of major
league baseball, he should abolish
it acknowledgement make prema-
ture apologies for it.
You hear no such apologies COM
ing from the men who have charge
of racing, for example--a sport that is
registering new fabulous figures at
the mutuelS - a sport that Is ship
ping its hundreds Of horses about
the country-north and south.
But baseball, the national past
time - a sport that was off Is per
cent in attendance during the 43
season - is making apologies to a
nation burdened with the greatest
problem of juvenile delinquency it
ever faced.
Personally, we do not care where
the ne jor league clubs train. But
we can not stomach the servile at
titude of baseball's high salaried
mouthpiece. If he thinks that the
bootlicking of Washington brass
hats is necessary for the continue
ance of the sport during the war.
we suggest that ID he discontinue
baseball. or 90 get out of baseball.
