I'mpire Rigler, we were told, was once a member of the famous Massi! Ion eleven. Charlie Moran, now training the Carlisle eleven, played fullback ? on the Massillon Mammoths and from Charlie we recently rounded up th?? low-down on Rigler. "Rig," says Moran, "took part in one play in a practice game. He got the bull on the scrub team ami started out for an end run. About six guy? weighing anywhere from 210 to 248 started for him. But Rig beat 'em t(> i? 'Down right here!' he felted. 'If you guys want this ball that bad you can ? have it.' " Having ?een that Massillon bunch play, we don't biain?

"Pittsburgh has one of the finest teams I've seen in a long time.'' sa;,.?. Moran, "a great eleven in every way. It has the speed, the weight, the power and the plays. I haven't seen Cornell play, but Pittsburgh looked to he a lot stronger against Carlisle than Harvard looked" "I have seen nine games thii fall," write? A. B. T., Jr., "ai.d five of these were lost by fumbles. In my opinion, ability to hold the ball i? the one most, important thing in the game." Referred to Travers, Camp, Ouimet and Haughton.

Complainant begs to state that on Jim Taylor's Manchester golf course he contracted for large ?urns of money and allowing generous odds to play a match with one Walter Hale, the dis? coverer of New Fngland.

Second query Should not th i defendant have been penalized one-half the distance to the last tee for off? side play, rough stuff and introduction of a player without reporting to th-* refere?*" If not. what rule covers It? OWBN JOHNSON. Wagner Again. Han.? Wagner did something more than bat above 27?) and rank high with the fielding shortstops through the year behind. The venerable Dutchman at 41 played in IM ball games, one of the vary few of the 250 National Kntries who covered the full route. It is something to still be in the Big League after passing 40. Very few ever have. An?! these in the past have only travelled part of the way. Wagner's mark of l?fi games at 41 year* stands as the greatest record of the year?something above even the batting of Cobb or the pitching of Alexander. Ma*hew?on'?, athletic record now consists of football, baseball, goif, trap shooting, iniurance and checker?. What other games have you? On-side Kicks. Why i? It that if a football team is beaten 98 to 0, it li referred to a? "beaten?hut not disgraced"? Also why is it that when a team is beaten around 50 to 0. in unhorsed, demolished, overs?helmed, the aforesaid team in most of the publir- prints alwsys "fights on gamely to the last"? Haughton gays he doesn't want his players numbered because certain play would be more easily detected. He is probably working on the theory that he ha? a few plays to protect while most of the others haven't. And. taking the arerage, he isn't far wrong. Which, however, is no excuse for Harvard holding out again9t one of the fairest, sanest and most logical developments of the modern game. Cornell is in ? bad way for coaching quality. She ha'n't anybody except Al Sharpe, Courtney and Moakley to look after the destinies of her people. That'? all. AMATEUR BILLIARD DATES ASSIGNEI Class A Tourney in February i New York or Chicago.
