Both legs, your neck and skull, but trust you do not conic to harm, Truly, you're unruly with that battle club of yours, Sending little baseballs on such airy, lengthy tours; Can't you lean less heavily, just to Rive us hope? If you do not halt a bit, you'll fracture all the dope. Tell us, were you jealous of the fame F. Baker sot, Clouting of the horsehidc till it flew out of the lot?

Gridiron Gleanings From Leading Colleges By EDWARD K. BUSHNELL One of the principal rensims win Tenii sjlvjiila didn't scoic a single point asrainst I.afajctto on t?aturdn was that Matthews couldn't drop kick, and lha coaches didn't know th.xt they had a man In the back field who could plate kick even better thin Dick Mai shall could drop I kick last jenr. The man who has been hiding his light under a bushel is none other than Viculaud. wno In his tirst cf foit at playing halfback wnp eclipsed In biillloncy only by fullback Tucker. Vrcc land is entirely too modest to tell of his exploits in tho goal kicking line, but his record which the writer has du up speaks loudly for him. Two years ao Vrceland was a fresh man ut Muhlenburg College where ho played In the back Held. Duilng that season he scoied 61 points. Of this total he scored 21 points with goals from touch downs, missing but a cingle such trial all teasun. lie scored I" points In addition with nine goals from placement during tho season. Ho kicked one goal from placement In cory gumo on the schedule, and In one game he scoicd twice. Among the teams against which he scored In tills manner were Lafajctte, Lehigh and Urslnus. Vieeland has done no kicking on Frank lin Field. Last spring ho broke his light leg plnjlns baseball, nnd haB been sav ing himself this fall. Fortunately ho kicks with his left foot, so that the In Juiy ho sustained won't affect his kick ing. The chances aie that the Quaker coaches will give Vreeland a chance In practice this week. Nothing delights Head Coach George Brooko more than to tlnd a man with this tort of talent, and since Matthews has shown himself to be undvpendable as a drop kkker tho coaches are llkelj to test Vreeland in tills department. "Bull" McClenry, the old State Col lege tackle, has been of much assistance to Coach Hedges in lounding out the Germantown Academy team this season. "Bull" has been out nearly every day on the Manhelm gridiron, working with the line candidates, thus allowing Hedges to spend all his time with the ends nnd backfleld men A new acquisition ill tho person of Kitisei reported for a lino berth last week, and is expecwd to fill the vacancy In the line left open by the withdrawal of liumill from the squad. Kaiser Is exactly six foet in height and tips the beam at 15 pounds. The footbnll situation out at West Phil adelphia is lmprolng to soma rMent. but the team has a long way to go befor It can hope to hold the speedy Northeast and Central High elevens In the big James next month. Quarterback Kills practically won the reit-nt Chester High battle, and he looks more and more like an all-schol3stlc choice evei tune out WaKenknlglit, of course, Is badl mised for he was tho best man at the quarter hack position in the local schools last year, but It is doubtful if Cuai'i Mulfnrd could get a better man for the position than Ellis right now The foimer Is ex. perted to get bneb in the game some tune next month, and In this event will more than llktlv he shifted to a halfba. k in order to utilize his work in the open field. The local schools have not shown much Interest in cross-country running thus far riven f'entrnl High, thr pa.- in this branch of sport has been taking things easy, while some of the other schools appear to be at a standstill Doe tor O'Brien has had his eo,uad out on Houston Field every day for a Ilsrht Jog, but none of the candidates has had an opportunity a yet to try the difficult Lemon Hill course In FaJrmount Park This Paturday will see the opening of the hill and dale season, when a race for novices will be staged, and following th's the teams wilt get down to work in earnest. The regulars of the Northeast High football squad wre given a rest tester day after the hard game against William son Trade School on Saturday. Captain Webb was on the field In spite of ln Juries received in the game. Hardin, likewise injured In Saturdays game, has also recovered Through nheer necessity Wilson was switched from end to half, back on Saturday and made good at his new position As ntdpath and Brelt haupt are now taking care of the wing positions, Wilson may win a permanent place In the backfleld Coach Johnson was pleased with the team's clever use of the forward pass Webb and He-uer did some accurate toss ing and Rldpath and Brelthaupt held on to the oval every time It came their way. Captain Dunn's Northeast soccer men are fast rounding into shape and it looks a. if Northeast will aln be in the run ning for the championship. Three team are practicing dally I'alt. a new nun from the Dlsston Grammar School, 1. showing surprising form Parkerman and White are also plamg well McCoraas of last year's team iz usable toilay be- causf. of parental objections.

The scrubs were the opponent ol the tint team, which ionlstl of nbout an equal number of flrst and second string men, Thov offered a fair defense, but wero handicapped on the offense by tho fum bling of their backs. SOCCER SNAPSHOTS One of the most surprising results on Satur day wis tho drawn game between Bethlehem and Victor In the American League at Beth lehem. Each side scored two goals and at half time Bethlehem held a load of two geals to none and deserved It. The Victor team pU)d a great game In the second half and practically hemmed the steelworkers In their own half of tho ground Tha Ttoblntons, New ton. lii)nor, Brlgham and Scott proved them selves a wonderful forward line, and the Beth lehem defense was sure rut to it to prevent them from scoring moro than two goals. As an all-round sportsman C B Webster. Jr., would be hard to beat. He plajed fjr tho Cnlverslts of Pennsjlvanla at cricket, captained the golt team and now captains tlw ooccer team. He took up soccer only last ear and soon developed Into a really good full- I back He will undoubtedly Improve steadll), and the club he eleelo to play for after he graduates from Penn will Indeed bo lucky.
