She dominated the field so completely that in the first twenty minutes the Friars failed to make first downs. let alone threaten the Hamtrend goal. On the fact that twelve minute quarters were played kept the natives from scoring a fifth touchBut the game was not won without the stlffest sort of opposition, coming largely In the last half. Flashes of class featured Fort Wayne's playing continually and the far-reaching passes of Doria were of great concern to the home folks, especially the fourth quarter. But the stellar work of the Hammend ends, Henderson. Kohl and the backfleld prevented the Friars completing many of the passes. Paddy Greatest Gainer, it would be hard to say who starred for Hammond. Faddy Driscoll probably gained the greatest number of yards but Barrett. McCurdy, Halstrom and the mysterious Frankenstein covered themselves with glory In abundance. Henderson was house afire and reck, the Pittsburgh All-American center, who failed to show per agreement, was never missed. Frank Blocker gathered Into his ample arms Friar runners as fast as they came and deposited them rudely on terra firms McCurdy Knocked Out. Xear the close of the first half McCurdy. playing a whirlwind game at halfback, was rendered unconscious by a. blow on the head during a play in which Frank Blocker tackled Specht cut of bounds. After Herman Hermles had at on ilcCurdy s out-stretched trams In the club house Doc Toung restored the player to earth with wet towels but he was unable to return to the game, occupying the bench during the last half.

r V.:1. '.V.,'7 yf v.'IT,' Dr. Al Sharpc. Although Cornell didn't exactly astonish the football world with her speed and power this past season, Coach Al Sharpe is well pleased with the showing made and considers that with the material to be had the Cornell eleven played some grand football. Sharpe and all Cornell followers are proud of the fact that th team did not try to hide behind the kirts of "informal" football pigskin as the kick was ehort and was downed on the sixty yard line. Faddy gained two yards around right end, Barrett twelve around left and Hammond advanced to the twenty yard line. Barrett made a two yard gain and the quarter ended.

The Sport

"D mi deerie just you think we have beaten the state champions. Ain't that Just too grand for anything?" beauteous female heard to soliloquise after Hammond-Friar game. Yes. deerie. Tou are right. And Champ Clark's hound came in for a lion's share of the fans' hullabahoos. Among the notables at the game was King of Harvard, all-American half, who helped spell defeat for the Parduhnitcs a week ago Sunday. They had a darb of a game at East Chicago too and it was tough luck for 'm to lose a game like that. Smell any beer at the came yesterday? Berghoff. Friar end, helps his dad brew the amber liquid. No, guess Pontius Heintz wasn't there. And we're not through yet. Paul, the boss, Is said to be after the Detroit Heralds for a post-season fray. Yeah, 'tis right. Give Driscoll time. He'll make a quarterback byeend bye. The Michigan Aggies will not waste any brain matter figuring the team good by the comparative score route. They haven't any place to begin they didn't win a game. This is the season of the year wrien the- football stars break training and go back to studying. Joe Cantillon probably will go big again next season. He's got a draftproof team. Tho Browns won the pennant in the Technical Basketball league. St. Louis papers please copy. Well, for one thing. Fort Wayne brought along a good crowd of sportsOne jollier kept- a score of Hammondites busy answering his shots and Ft. Wayne won. Little boy to "Bud" Szold. famous; DePauw half. at game yesterday, "Mister, mister. Where is Doug.? LOST TO KING Noted New York Boxing Referee Taken by Death After Long Illness. NEW TORK. Dee. S Charley White, widely known boxing referee, who had been ill a long- time of a complication of diseases, died at his home here Saturday. He was the most prominent referee of pugilistic contests in this country, and In nearly all the big; events when championships changed hands or were successfully defended In the eastern states he was "the third man In the ring." The last big contest in this Vicinity where White was the arbiter was the Willard-Moran contest at Madison Square garden on March 25. 191?. Fifty-two years ago White was born In this city. He was affiliated with athletics from his schoolboy days. For several years White held the office of sergeant at arms of the Democratic state committee. tried a number of long passes which went wild and Dorias kicked. At this time Helvie, Fort Wayne end, was a walking corpse. He didn't know whether the game waa going on or not. A fifteen yard forward pass, line plunges, and T, H. Gangway went over for a touchdown, making the score 5 to P. Paddy kicked off, the ball going to the goal line where it was caught by Dorias w ho ran to the 88 yard line. The Hammond fullback stopped Dorias who on the next play gained fifteen yards. Specht made seven yards and Hugo "Volkman recovered a fumble on the forty yard line but the whistle had blown and the ball went back, Hammond being penalized five yards for offside. After an incomplete pass Dorias kicked and Paddy received. The game ended. SIDE LINES. Our first team played yesterday. On with the dance, let joy be unrefined. What is this strange charm J. Bar relt has over women? When the rhotog. saw T. Howard Gangway in the group he raised bis price. Among the notables In attendance were Lieutenant Floyd Murray. Dick King and wife of Lafayette and Pine Villare. Old Elmer Ragon. "Bud" Szold and Ed Greene, erstwhile coach, and! father of a new baby girl. II. Mettler took 11.600 to Fort Wayne Saturday to bet on Hammond and placed 535. Ft. Wayne fans have excellent judgment. When Henderson tackled the Friars their jerseys rolled up the back like window shades. Frank Blocker was so enthusiastic he tackled a player sitting on the Friar bench. Some day he'll dive over the fence and dump P. Farduhn's one usher. Let's see. who do we play Xmas? Baby Vampire threw a kiss and said to distribute it among the Hammond squad. Tes, M.. the handkerchief tn the upper right hand pocket was silk around the edge. Too bad we can't give our friend "Mr. t Gangway or A Leg Off" the credit he deserves. Now we have it. Barrett is a steam engine In breeches. Paul Tarduhn .has wired the Detroit Heralds for a game here next Sunday. Keep up the good work Paul, we're all for you. . Ross Polytech Elects. TERRE HAUTE. IND., Dec. 3. Al Barnes, right tackle for Rose Polytechnio for the past three years, has been eleoted captain for next season, to auoeed Grafe. who graduates with this school year.

Where is Doug. Fairbanks?" Nothing like advertising that you tried to get a star. There's one sailor who will remember the term "submarined." It is Sailor Kirke who was slipped the K. O. In 20 seconds by Benny Leonard in Denver a few days ago. Now that Benny will be dubbed "submarine" we suppose the proper title for Jess Willard would be "dreadnaught." And Johnny Barret can be called a "tank." Te Gods a prep school beat Racine pros and they beat Hammond. St. John swamped Racine .".6 to 0. If it was the Fame team that beat Hammond earlier much earlier in the season when Hammond was somewhat in its infancy we hanker for a look at that bunch of high school kids. Chicago paper says that a player called l'uryear has bten elected captain of Chicago university's freshmen squad and that Stacs anticipates another pur-ycar. If history repeats itself Stagg yen won't be disappointed. Humph; Ohio is pretty sure Auburn had a horseshoe the day it held its twotime conference champions to a scoreless tic. Auburn was ruined Turkey day, 68 to 7, by the Georgia Tech Tornadoes. The "Little Five" championship title will hang in midair this season. Monmouth and Knox schools tieing in their last game. That same Tech team that walloped Auburn topped the Navy eleven this year for the highest number of tallies. Rydewsky. Notre Dame center, received his letter with 10 other varsity men this year. The star played against Hammond Sunday and .showed class. Ralph Kingsley, Los Angeles, broke the world's 2i mile bike record made at Long Island in 1S03. making it in 51:D8 a few days ago on the coast. GOFALL DEFEATS THK'S ELEVEN Ten Thousand See Former Notre Dame Star Kick Two Field Goals for Mas sillon Tigers. formerly of Notre Dame and a Cleveland boy, playing at left half for the Masslllon Tigers, spoiled the Canton Bulldogs' chances for retaining their world professional football title Myers Lake Park yesterday afternoon by booting two beautiful field goals for the only scores of the game, giving the Coal Miners a 6 to 0 victory over the eleven ld by Indian Jim Thorpe. Ten thousand football fans racked the rark In expectation of witnessing another Canton victory and were given the highest, surprise cf the season. Before the start of the contest, odds were 10 to 6 and 2 to 1 on the Bulldogs. Cofall booted his both field goals In the first half. The first came after six minutes of play, when Cofall blocked Thorpe's punt on Canton's twenty-five yard line and Nash recovered. The kick was made from the thirty-four-yard line. Miller intercepted a forward pass heaved by Ghee and intended for Niel In the second quarter. French netted twentyfive yards on a pass thrown by Miller and Cofall followed with his second goal, booting thirty-one yards. All the breaks of the game favored Massilloru Canton troiteT the m-t down the field via ihe aerial route tti.-rr times to within the shadow of the Maseillon goal, but lacked the punch necessary to carry the leather over. Canton made eight first downs to one for Massillon. Massillon intercepted six forward passes, while Thorpe's team managed to get two. In spite of the muddy condition of the field, Thorpe got away fot a rair of his famous sprints down the field, one of his dashes going for fifty and the other for thirty-five yards. ANDREWS TO PILOT NOTRE DAME ELEVEN NOTRE DAME. IXD., Dec. 3. Frank Andrews of Rockland received the choice as the next captain of the 191S Notre Dame football eleven. Andrews, who Is a star tackle, was elected at the annual banqnet g!vn in honor of the football squad last nisht. He won prominence with his stellar, exhibition In both the Army and Washington and Jefferson clashes, in whicl Notre Dame scored grat victories. C. Harley, Gridder, MayMake Good On Diamond The story that Chick Harley. the Ohio University football star, had refused an offer cf $200 to take part in a professional football game, recalls hints that have been circulated th,-.t he has agreed with a certain major league club to sign a contract to play baseball as soon as his college days are over. Harley Is considered the star gridiron player of the day. but as a baseball player he has never made n great reputation, though It !s possible he would develop. Harley has played the outfield for Ohio Ptate. He Is very fast, but nevor hits much. He is not a blR fellow, weighing; but 136 pound. If he takes up professional ball it will not be until 1919.
