YELLOW JACKETS LOSE HARD GAME Decatur high school’s Yellow Jackets suffered their third consecutive defeat of the present football season yesterday, but it was a much improved and hard-fighting eleven that lost a 20-0 decision to the Huntington Vikings here yesterday afternoon. The Huntington team, slightly heavier than the Yellow Jackets, more experienced and aided by the breaks of the game, proved superior to the locals during most of the battle. Although trailing at the half 13-0, as the result of two fluke touchdowns, they never stopped fighting, it was in the fourth quarter, when they were behind. 20-0. that the locals made their best showing of the game. Twice in the last quarter, the locals carried the ball inside the Huntington 10-yard line, once to the 8-yard line and oiUj-' to the 3-yttrd line. ( Huntington's first touchdown came when the game was only s*£ minutes old. The visitors marched down the field after the kickoff to the threeyard line. Petrie carried it over the goal line, but he fumbled the ball when tackled. Young, Huntington tackle, fell on the ball during the scramble behind the goal line, and was credited with a touchdown. The second score came just before the first half ended when Barnhiser. Huntington substitute end. got held of the ball and fell over the goal line, after a forward pass had been juggled in the air by three or four players. Huntington's third touchdown came in the third quarter, as the result of a spirited drive from midfield. Fryer, fulbaik, carrying the ball over the goal line. The Decatur line played the Vikings' forward wall to a standstill yesterday and possibly was a shade the better, but the visitors had a heavier, faster and more experienced backfield, which cat tied them to victory. The Decatur line opened up hole after hole in the Huntington line, but the Huntington backs stepped the Decatur ball carriers after they passed the line of scrimmage and held them to small gains, as a rule. Decatur completed several passes in the last quarter. First Quarter Decatur kicked off and Petrie ran the ball back 35 yards. Fryer went through for IS yards and first down. Petrie made 8 yards and Fryer two more for first down. Fryer went off tackle for 18 yards again. The Decatur line held for two downs, hut Chevalier made first down. A pass, Petrie to Chevalier, placed the ball on the 3-yard line. On the next play, Petrie carried the ball over, but fumbled when he was tackled. In the scramble. Yeung recovered the ball for Huntington and scored a touchdown. Petrie passed to Chevelier over the goal line for the extra point. Huntington kicked off.

Huntington punted cut of bounds on Decatur's 40-yard line. Decatur made a first down. Petrie returned Decatur punt 35 yards and it looked like he was loose, but Deßolt tackled him from behind on the 20yard line. Huntington made first down on the 10-yard line and was then penalized 15 yards for holding. Blackburn made 8-yards on pass, but Huntington lost the ball when a pass over the goal line on the fourth down was incomplete. Decatur punted. Huntington penalized 15 yards for slugging.

Score 20-0. The rest of the quarter was played in the center of the field, the period ending with Decatur in possession of the ball on Huntington's 25-yard line. Fourth Quarter Decatur plunged through for a first down on the 12-yard line. Gerber fumbled and recovered, but lost 8-yards.

By SOL METZGER 1 1 When Penn opens its season today I with Ursinus, Lou Young will roly lin the main upon his hidden ball I I . stuff for victory. No eastern eleven has such a wealth of veteran backs ' t.~ start with as Penn will throw into this encounter. In Captain Scull the Red and Blue has one of the most i versatile ones in the country, where- . jas in Murphy, now placed at half, i Young has as elusive a runner as the i game knows in the East. Penn's offensive formation, as the diagram shows, differs radically from most any other in the land. In the first place the line is more unbalanced. five linemen playing on the strong side. In the second place the two wing backs play inside their ends, i Penn, (Kes this to permit better manipulation of the ball. One pass Penn will likely use today is started when the center tosses it to No. 2. who turns to his right and fakes giving it to No. 4. who runs to the left and fakes carrying the ball. No. 2 now gives ground to the rear, turns quickly and passes to No. 1. usually Murphy. Murphy caught such a pass against Columbia last year and wormed his way through the opposing backfield for a touchdown. i I Monday — Coach Stagg's puzzling plays. For more than twenty years Sol .

The Fourth Down "vWillie Punt 1 -

“I don't see how Columbia City beat . j Decatur 42-0.” remarked a sp.ut writer r for the Huntington Herald during the ’ game here Friday. r . —— r The Yellow Jackets did show con- ' siderable improvement yesterday over their previous games. And the nice ' part was, they showed more stuff in the fourth'quarter yesterday than at ' any other period of the game. Coach Bucher, of Huntington. had made sub- •| stitutions throughout the game, keeping fresh men in nearly all positions. • while Coach Kidd had made only two substitutions. Statistics showed that Huntington made 14 first downs to Decatur's five. Four of Decatur’s first downs came in the fourth quarter. Although the entire Viking backfield | worked smoothly yesterday, the work of Petrie and Chavalier was most out- | standing. Deßolt and Gerber were the best ground gainers for the Yellow i Jackets. The Bluffton Tigers took a 4(1-0 drubbing at the hands of Fort Wayne I Central yesterday. They must have i been a bitter dose. Central and South Side appear to have strong teams this season. According to Bucknet. of the Bluffton Banner. Bluffton's game with Cen tral Friday does not < mint in the conference standing. Each are conference members and only the five games arranged by the conference officials count in the standing, although the teams may play other members of the conference. Bluffton's conference games that count in the standing this I season are: Columbia City. Auburn, I South Side, Decatur and Huntington. Our gcod friend Cash Keller, of the Huntington Herald, was on the sidelines at the game here Friday, but he ' is taking an enforced leave of absence from his duties of enlightening the dear people as to matters in the realm ; of sports, due to a fracture cf his col- ■ lar bone. "1 failed to realize that my I athletic days are over and tried to play football last Sunday” was Cash’s • explanation. Coach Kidd was to go to Fort Wayne this afternoon to umpire the game between the South Side and Lindbloom, of Chicago. Lack of knowledge ct one of the old and simple rules of football by Walter “Know-it-all” Geller. Fort Wayne referee, and his stubbornness in refusing to look it up in the rule book when his decision was questioned, cost the Decatur high school Yellow Jackets a touchdown in their game with the Huntington Vikings here Friday afternoon. The rule in question is what constitutes a time out. In the fourth quarter, the Yellow Jackets were fighting with renewed vigor in an effort to score on their opponents and had rushed the ball to Huntington's 3-yard line. On the third down, which put the ball on the 3-yard line, Brown, Decatur quarterback was injured. Coach Kidd went on the field and Geller informed him that Decatur had had three time ■ outs and that there would be a five- > yard penalty for this one. Coach Kidd i informed him that he was taking the : injured player out of the game and . that no time out could be charged for , jhat. Geller, in his usual know-it-all t manner, told Coach Kidd that taking the player out of the game made no > difference and he gave Decatur a fiveyard penalty. Before the penalty, Decatur had six inches to make on the i fourth down for a first down Inside the 3-yard line and undoubtedly would have made that and scored a touchdown in the next four downs. However, with the five-yard penalty, they failed to make first down on the next play by about a yard. Had they been permitted to make the same gain without the penalty, the ball would have gene over the goal line for a touchdown on the play. As it was, the ball went over to Huntington. The play disheartened the Yellow Jackets, who needed a score to give them the enthusiasm. After the game, Geller looked up the rule on the question and found that no time out should have been charged to Decatur, However, he did not have manly principle enough to apoligize to Coach Kidd, although he admitted his mistake to another person. o i By winning aloto 3 victory over the Boston Braves, the St. Louis f Cardinals virtually clinched the pennant In the National league.

| One of sportdom’s most colorful athi letes is a golfer wh > started OH us a . baseball player. Back in 1910 Walter > Hagen wits playing semlpro base',ill I around Rochester, N. Y„ hoping for a ■ chance to get a professional tryout Four years later Hagen, representing the Rochester ('inntry Club, von the national open golf championship. In the past fifteen years Hagen has won mote tournaments than any other golfer. Hagen set a record by winning the National Professional Golfers' Association championship for the fourth straight year last fall at Dallas Tex. "The Haig” will attempt to make it five in n row at the annual tournament 1 at the Country Club tournament at the Country Club of Baltimore, Oct. 1 to 6. "The Haig" has won the British open title three times, the national open twice, the Western open three times • the P. G. A. five times and numerous , other smaller tournaments. He is the present British open < hampi n. After suffering the worst defeat of his career in a special 72-hole match against Archie Sonipston at Moor Park April 28. Hagen two weeks later amazed the golfing world by winning the British open with an aggregate of 292. Cotnpsbon crushed Hagen, 18 up and 17 to play. Come Back to Win Undaunted Hagen smiled and shook Compston’s hand on the 55th hole. "I was beaten by a man who played better golf." Hagen said. Such a defeat would have jarred the netves of the ordinary golfer, but not Hagen. He knew what was wrong—his putter wouldn't respond. For the next several days he was up early and out late practicing on the greens. When the British open started he had complete control of the weapon that failed PENNANT RACES AS GOOD AS OVER By Frank Getty, UP Sports Editor New York. Sept. 29. — The major league pennant races are practically over, and barring a miracle, the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals will meet in the world series, scheduled to start next Thursday. The Yankees clinched the American league pennant by their victory over the Detroit Tigers yesterday, 11 to 6. The Cardinals have to win only one more game to capture the National league champion; or if the New York Giants lose today, the effect will be the same. By defeating the Tigers, the Yanks won their sixth pennant of the past eight years. They will enter the world series crippled by the absence of Earl Combs, probably the greater center fielder in the game today, and with Herb Pennock, Babe Ruth and Tony Lazzeri suffering from injuries which may seriously impair their value in the post-season classic. Combs factored his wrist in Thursday's ball game, Pennock may be unable to pitch at all, Ruth is limping, and Lazzeri has water on the shoulder. which makes it extremely dangerous for him to use his arm. When the St. I ouis Cardinals scored even runs in the fifteenth inning at Braves field yesterday, they practically clinched the National league pennant. The only chance for the Giants to come through would be to defeat the Chicago Cubs today while the Cardinals were losing to the Boston Braves and then defeat St. Louis at the Polo grounds Sunday. In that highly improbable event, it also would be necessary for the Red Birds to lose two games to the Giants in the play-off series which would start next week, before a so-called "Subway series” for the world's championship would be necessary. Having clinched the American league pennant, the Yankees now have five days of badly needed rest before ; the post-season series for the world's championship. YESTERDAY'S HOMERS Ruth.

- him against Compston. Hagen later | 1 reserved his defeat at the hands of , r Compaton in a mutch an this side. 1| Hagen attributes much of his sue- 1 i cess to his ability to relux. He never 1 hurries. There Is that famous incident 1 when Hagen kept A|e Mitchell wal* 1 1 ing about a halt hour at the first fee 1 1 fir the second half of their special 72- 1 dhole match In England two years ago. 1 r Hagen claims that the golfer who hurries his shave or his breakfast is a ' I beaten golfer. Hagen's logic is that ■j the man who hurries will hurry his I strokes when he gets on the links. Bad Boy of Golf II Sometimes Hagen his own t rules and gets away with it. Last year he decided only at the last minute to , go to Dallas to defend his P. G. A title. He did not leave Rochester until Ft 1i day and arrived In Dallas Monday, the < day the tournament started. He had < t i hurry to get there, but he won. He had a close call in the first - round. Jack Farrell of North Shore t had Hagen fordown at the end of IS t holes, but Sir Walter came from be ; hind to win. 3 and 2. Hagen then, in - turn, beat Tony Manero, 11 an<F 10. ? Tommy Armour, 4 and 3, Al Espinosa . 1 up on 37 holes and Joe Turnesa, 1 up. I Hagen is the "bad boy" of golf. He always seems to be in “hot water” over something, partlcuarly abroad. ; He got in dutch when he was quited as saying the British pros were "too I goslx, darned lazy" after Bobby Jones won the British open in 1926. Then ? there was the Abe Mitchell incident, t Last fall he got in bad with the Golf- ( ing Union of Ireland for his sudden t withdrawal from the Irish open after l winning the British open. i The British, however, even as Ha- ■ gen's countrymen, rank him as the I w rld's greatest professional golfer. *¥¥*** ¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * S****¥¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥ —(U.PJ— Rogers Hornsby (38S) hit home run. ■ batting in two runs, and scoring one, in five times at bat.
