Eastern Football Title" Rests Among Four Teams as Result of Saturday's Play
"Penn State., Pitt,
Harvard, Tigers
Setting the Pace
Bezdek's Gridiron Warriors
Appear to Have Edge on
All of Their Rival?
By Kay McCarthy
The ? astci f< dbal) championship
situation simmers down to four teams
as ? result of Satnrday'3 games. Wash
mgton and Jetfcrsi , Brown, Cornel)
and Georgetown ?rere the elevens to
feel the ax, and these teams now take
their place with Yale, Dartmouth and
Syracuse. Penn State, Pittsburgh,
Harvard and Prince'on arc out in front
with no defeats as yet, and of these
State is the only eleven which lias not
even been fi"d this season.
At this present writing it appears as
though renn State had the edge in
every respect. Not only ha? it an un?
sullied record in Mata of conflicts with
some of the best teams in the East,
but it.-i chances of going through the
season unb< ai ? ?cci pi ionally
bright.
The Lions of Pel n State have only
two more gan ? on I r schedule, Le

I of unbeaten teams as ?* result of Sat
urday's games on various gridirons.
| Those to fall from grace were Cornell,
Brown. Georgetown and Washington

as victories are concerned. The others
'arc Penn State, Pittsburgh, Wesleyan,
Stevens Tech and Boston. College.
Penn State and Boston College have

?four straight. Williams College, with
five wins and two defeats, is the sec?

while the Army, with six victories and
only one setback, is third with 225.
Benny Boynton, of Williams, is still
the supreme scorer, with a grand total
?of f.24 points, his niniteen touchdowns

IN ALL FAIRNESS
By W. O. M* GE EH AN
THE baseball magnates will gather ?il Chicago to-day u, discuss
plans for the rehabilitation of professional baseball. Whether or
not the public confidence^ professional baseball will be restored
by the start of the nexi baseball season will depend upon what the mag?
nates do at Chicago.
Only the egotist ami the deaf men among the magnates do not realize
that professional baseball has been badly hurt, by the crookedness laid
bare by the Cook County grand jury. Followers of baseball believe that
baseball needs a thorough housecleaning, and they are right. Magnates
were too busy with their own petty politics to foresee and forestall the
corruption of the game. There must be now men in supreme control of
organized baseball, men who will inspiro public confidence.
The Lasker pian, which calls for a board of control for all baseball,
seems to be one that would fill the bill. The persons who support the
game will have no confidence in anybody who has been a member of the
old discredited National Commission. Anybody connected with the 'old
National Commission h too much involved in the petty politics of baseball.
The opposition to the Lasker plan has thrown out many smoke screens
and offered almost any compromise to prevent the control of baseball
passing into the hand- of disinterested and competent men. The weirdest
picture of all is Ban Johnson weeping for the minors and raising the cry
that the minor.- would have no representation under the Lasker plan.
Ban's solicitude for the minors is something of very recent development.
lie is even taking the same platform with David Fultz, whom he once
denounced. The opposition to the needed baseball reform certainly de?
velops strange bedfellows.
The Johnson compromise of a hine-man commission meets the situa?
tion half way. Let the nine baseball politicians be picked. But over them
there must be a board of control made up of men who are not baseball
politicians, If the majority of the club owners do not hold out for this,
then they deserve to play to empty parks next year, and they will be badlj
hurt in the most sensitive place, the box office, if they hold to the belie!
that "everything will be forgotten by the time the season opens."
Baseball Followers Uatch
/"1RDINARILY a meeting of baseball magnates is of no consequence
whatsoever, though the rotund magnates always have imagined tha'
their vaporings were of vast importance. But this: time the baseball fan;
are really interested. This meeting may mean the life, or the death o:
professions 1 baseball.
The fans are interested because they want to know whether or no
the magnates will name men who will have the courage to threw ou
another Hal Chase before he can corrupt the game, if there should b<
another Hal Chase. They want to know whether or not, the. magnate
realize that there must be justice and fair play in the management of th
game.
The corruption of professional baseball nates back to one incident
' Hai Chase was accused by Cl rii ty Mathewsi : of throwing baseball games
The accusation was backed by the word of Mathewson and by substantia
evidente. But Mathewson went to France to be a soldier and Chase wa
wanted a1- a player by one of the teams of the National League. Chas
T as. whitewashed and reinstated, Phat set the weak-minded?for th
potential crook ?<: weak-minded?to thinking: "Wei!, he getaway with i
'and he is hero." That made the work of the gamblers who corrupte
.the Chicago White So.n players all too easy.
The whitewashing i f Chase cost baseball its good name. The follow
ers of baseball know this, and they nil! no longer trust the men who wer
in power when Chase war permitted to stay in baseball.
If this meeting i: merely political, if it is only an airing of old feud
then many u confirmed fan will turn from the game in disgust. Baseba
will have bee gassed to death by rotund windbags who imagined then
selve s czar:.
Big Bout for New York
IT IS quite evident, that the promoters of the Carpentier-Dempsey bot
plan to hold it in New York or the immediate vicinity. There seems 1
be no objection on the part of the Boxing Commission to a "little fight
but the Queensberry solons - 'era concerned over the Carpentier-Dempsn
bout on fin' ground that it oo big."
If they are to have boxing bouts of any sort in New York State thei
i is no particular rea on wh ' the Carpentier-Dempsey bout should not i
held Mere, provided, <:?? cour e, the commissioi i- satisfied that the thii

I heard the slander repeated after the Princeton-Navy game, but

Yale Coaches
Seem Worried
Over Their Men

Is Report From Hospital
Special ' orrtspaitdttce
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 7. W tl
only th?? Princetojo and Harvard gam
unplayed, Yale's football officials ex
pressed I lernselves to-night a ? ?
? colossal jo!? on their hands. Yal?
came through the games with Brown,
Colgate, West Virginia and even the
North Carolina game with only slender
margins of victory and with ? tie ea1
charged to Boston Coller*. The physi?
cal condition of the team to-night failed
to disclose half a dozen veterans in
shape for the biggest matches of the
season.
Report? from the hospital indicated
that lorn DickenB, tackle; Malcolm Al
dricb. halfback; "Doc" Jordan, ful'
back, and John Acosta, guard, cannot
be expected to play mote than part of
the Harvard game next Week and are
not expected to line up igainsl Prii ce
to'n this week, while. Captain Callahan,
who will return to the game this -?""'.
at'guard, and Thome Murphy, quarter?
back, stand little chance o? fully re?
covering from the injuries " hich
shelve,! them last month.
Murphy in Bad Shape
Murphy's condition is disclosed by
the fact that he was unable to kick
one of the seven field goals he at?
tempted yesterday. Ordinarily he
wouid have lifted four or five over th?
crossbar. His sprained ankle previ uted
him from successfully drop kicking <-r
punting. The season will close before
he can regain form. Ifc and Callaharu
will be sent against the Tigers but ? ? ai1,
coaches do not believe that thi
four will be able to play regularly be?
fore the Harvard contest.
The ;oa:hes will reorganize tl
eleven to-morrow without them. They
will continue Eli Cutler and Dicky Dii
worth as en s. I.e.: will give a -;. ??;?:.>.>-::
trial to Perry Bean. tack1.?, for the
freshmen last year. The cosenos feel,
however, that the en is are pretty well
placed jtist now.
The tackles are less satisfactory,
although John MacKay and Leon
Walker will remam first string selec?
tions. Albert Into, who has bei
fering from a muscle bruise, and Raj
Munger, who lias beer, tried at
will be looked over Ln the final tack e
choices.
Captain Caflahan's advent at
guard will dispose of that place, but
Aeosta's inability to play the other at
nresent will leave Herbert Herr its
Occupant. The eoache: miss A -
two seasons' experience. r>-? ... .-:
proved his ch ?ne tor rush
yesterday and Billy Galvin will
less prove a satisfactory subsl .
The back field choices ar
of prpdiction except thai Frank Ke .
and Hei-berf. Kempton will be :
two and probably Thome Murphy in
another. "Doc" Jordan's attack of
tonsilitis has cost him hope of seb
tion for the Princeton frame a
back, but he an.i Alrlrich will prob?
ably be in condition to play one half
by the time of the Harvard
Juck Fr?ncu, Howard ( anipbt II and
Justin Sturm are the three cand dat
from whom the final selec ions
made.
