HOMER HAZEL, BlLft ANDERSON
Here urn the two outslanding stars of the Rutgers team, which won
early season glory by its defeat of Gil Doble's Cornell eleven, and then
completely upset iho dope by overwhelming Lafayette, 44 to 7.
Homer Hazel, All-America end of last year, who is playing in the
hackfield tills year, is Rutger's best bet. In Bill Anderson lie has a
clever accomplice.
Hazel, a wonder at throwing passes, does that little thing for Rut
gers, while Bill Anderson is on the receiving end of most of them.
Kerr’s Career a Tragedy-
Baseball Owes Much to Real Hero of Much-Discussed
1919 World Series
Tim career of Pitcher Dick Kerr
stands out na ft trag-dy In major
league baseball.
Hack In 1919 Dick Kerr was a
member of the Chicago AJ’lilto Sox,
American Dengue jiennaftt winriers.
His fino pitching helped win the
title.
In the world scries of that year
with thnclnnatl, the pitching of
Kerr was the one bright spot In the
play of the Chicago White Box.
Hasehall fans will recall that se
ries as the one that was “fixed."
Kerr won two games In the 1919
event, despite the efforts of some
of his teammates to throw them
away. His courageous pitching nd
ded the flavor of competition to
the event. Otherwise It would have
been u rout.
The next spring Kerr, hdlevlng
that his work merited a substan
tial raise, asked for It. He didn't
get it.
So the pitcher to whom major
league baseball, the American Den
gue In particular, owned much, was
allowed io drift to the outlaws over
the matter of n few paltry dollars.
Kerr lias applied for reinstate
ment and Is sure Judge Dandlri will
grant It. He then hopes to hook rn
with some big league club.
The little southpaw is still the
property or the White Sox, but is
as emphatic ns ever against play
ing with that club.

Tha Hig Three were the main

When Walter Camp started the vic
ious practice of assembling an All-
American eleven he bought a com
muter’s ticket between Camhrldge

CHICAGO RISES
TO TOP OF HEAP
ON WESTERN GRID
CHICAGO. —Chicago rose to the
top of the heap in Saturday's wes
tern conference football champion
ship struggles and Notre Dame ad
vanced towards her claim of na
tional honors. In a day of upsets
the defeat of the previously uncon
quered university of Illinois eleven
was outstanding In mid-western
collegiate football. Minnesota soar
ed to the power evidenced earlier
In the season and trounced the Illini
three touchdowns to one and ad
ministered a severe blow in ser
iously injuring Harold ‘‘Red’’
Grange, the season's sensational
back.
Buffering severely from a dis
located shoulder and out of the
game for the remainder of the sea
son, Grancc would not deign to say
that he had been hurt intentionally,
but one Chicago sports writer who
saw the game said “when they hit
Grange, he was hit and the word
lilt' is used for all its meaning.” /
Once the Minnesota eleven was
penalized IG-yards after Grange
had been tackled by two men while
out of bounds.
The Illinois team was sadly bat
tered the previous week when
Coach Stagg of Chicago unleased a
trio of smashing full backs to com
plete the battering administered by
the strongest tackle to tackle line
in the conference for a 21-21 tie.
Chicago, however, showed signs
of distress as an aftermath of the
Illinois game and* it was only by a
field goal In the last minutes of the
play that the Maroons sealed the
heights of conference leadership
over the supposedly weak North
western team. A victory over
Wisconsin next Saturday would
give Chicago on undisputed title.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17
ALL EASTERN TEAMS
HAVE BEEN BEATEN
OR TIEDTHIS YEAR
NEW TORK. —The last unde*
seated and untied football team in
the east passed into oblivion on
Saturday when Penn State held the
University of Pennsylvania to a
nothing-nothing score. Five teams
boasts of being undefeated but
have been tied.
Pennsylvania leads in victories
with eight while Rutgers, Dart
mouth, Washington and Jefferson.
Williams and West Virginia have
won seven games. Of the unde
feated teams Pennsylvania has
been tied by Yale, Lehigh has been
tied by Rutgers, Holy Cross and
Princeton, while Yale has been tied
by Dartmouth and West Point.
The high scoritW mark of the
season is held jointly by Rutgers
and West Virginia 242 while the
larger eastern eleven’s, Pennsyl
vania has had the minimum scored
against it, 17v
The Connecticut* Aggies have
about thirten points scored against
them.
Cornell, defeated thrice, has
scored the most points in any one
game of the major elevens In the
east when the Ithacans scord 91
points against Susquehanna.
The navy is experiencing of the
most disastrous seasons in years.
The middies have won but two />f
their seven games and have seen
their colors lowered by Marquette,
Princeton, West Virginia Wesleyan
and Penn State ind Bucknell.
Penn State's feat of holding
Pensylvania on Saturday to a tie is
regarded ns an upset as is Colum
bia's ability to hold the West
Point eleven to a 14-14 tie.
Y'ale's 10-0 victory over Prince
ton. while not an upset, was re
garded as a surprise in some cir
cles especially after the Tigers’ 34
to 0 victory over Harvard on the
preceding Saturday.
Dartmouth was favoured to win
against Cornell and did so, 27 to 14.
Harvard used its most powerful
team against Brown but a fumble
paved the way to a Brown victory
7 to 0. Another game that must
be classed as an upset is Centen
nary’s 10 to 9 victory over Boston
College.
Tiie Huh eleven was a favorite in
view of its victory over Marquette.
The peak of the season will he
reached Saturday when several
games of major importance are
scheduled, foremost among which
is Yale's annual meeting with Har
vard. Yale naturally is a great
favorite.
