Thayer, MrGinley Aid Teammates in Down Goarli Dobie‘s Ma chine. Ily DAMON KENYON. PIIII.AIIKI JTIIA. Nov. 27—Rea McGraw, a southpaw with con trol, pitched Pennsylvania to a noble 20 to (I victory over Cornell, in tlieir annual Thanksgiving day football struggle here tills afternoon. A southpaw with control is a lar i' V, as anybody will tell you, even in football. These “crooked arm” Ring ers are generally as wild as hawks, Jio matter where you find ’em. Iteing southpaws is what makes ’em wild. Kobe Waddell, Rube Manillard, Na poleon Dimaparte, Kmpernr William and all the other great southpaws of history were wild. Re,1, McGraw is the first one that has ronie along in years with control. He can pitch them through a knot hole. Also, he lias a nice change of pace. This afternoon he hurled a fast straight one to G. l.ansing Thayer o£ the famous Pennsylvania Thayers, you know—then pitched a neat slow ^0? < urve to .Terse Douglas. What he ~ Was flinging was forward passes, of course. Tou must have guessed that. This change of pace was highly dis concerting to the Cornell boys. They seemed to be laying buck trying to wait McGraw out, and get tlieir bases on balls, or something to that effect. Anyway, they didn't seem to have any theory of defense against Mc Grow’s pitching, they didn't even try to hunt, McGraw pitched to G. I at using 'l’hayer over a distance of fully 1.7 yards, when all G. l.ansing had to do was to turn around ami fall Hat oil lii» face to make a touchdown. That was on the fast one. When he pitched the slow curve to Jesse Dnuglas, Jesse had to run about 17 yards to Cornell’s Imine plate. (Strange how haselmll will crop into tiiis football story. It must lie the lingering inHuenre of Rea Met,raw's southpaw slinging. - 0 Rea McGraw is captain of the Penn W team, and plays plenty of halfback. His pitching today was well suport ed not only by Jesse, without his horse, and G. losing Thayer, who normully is a substitute, but also by Ed AleGlnley, the Penn tackle, who is the local entry for whatever dis tinction there may be in that all American thing. tl'opyrlghf.

Xov. 27.— Ability of the University of Florida's ‘‘fighting ’gators" to break up efforts at aerial passing by tlio "Bulldogs of Drake university, combi tied with t lie telling effects of Florida’s balmy weather, proved the undoing of the visitors, who were defeated here today, 10 to 0. The game was marked hy brilliant play ing of Dick Brown, flashy open field runner. It was Newton’s toe ami Brown’s running that scored Florida's 10 points. Neither team was aide to dcore during the first half of the game, al though the ball was repeatedly sent from one end of (lie field to tlie oth er. Both elevens started the second half willi determination written into every play, Drake putting the hall into play and holding Florida for sev eral plays. The smashing work of Newton and •Tones, however, soon battered down the visitors’ defense. After working the hall well towagd Drake's goal line, Newton stepped bark and booted Florida’s first three point srore, a beautifully placed field goal. Soon afterward Jones pulled a Drake pass from the air and raced across her goal line for a touch down. Newton adding the extra point, making the score 10 to 0, and it stood this way until the emk. Drake's efforts, however, were not without threats, for they staged a powerful drive in the third period that carried the ball within easy renching distance of the Florida goal. They were held, though, after at tempting two forward passes. New ton saving the day by grabbing one only three yards from the Florida goal line and rushing back 25 yards with the ball. Florida again threatened to score in this period, when Chaplin picked a Drake pass out of the air and car ried the ball to within three feei of the westerners' goal line, only to lose it when an attempted pass was grounded over the line. The game was marked by brilliant work on the part of Florida’s back field stars, Newton, Jones and Brown, and Middlekauf, who was injected into the line for a brief period, and also by the work of .Williams, Gold stein and Norton In the line, « For Drake, Captain Orebaugh and Sparks were the particular stars. Statistics of the game showed that Florida gained eight first downs against seven for Drake, the 'Gators also gaining 178*2 yards to Drake’s 125*1*. while Florida was penalized for 85 yards against 15 yards for Drake.

At times it seemed to Ihe throng of spectators that parked the field, that Pitt was getting the breaks of the game, but as the contest wore on It was plain that the Panther had come out of his secret training place in the woods In |>erfect fighting condi tion and was outplaying the I,ion that had been picked by most ex perts to win the contest. Penn State missed virtually its o'niy chance to put over a touchdown in the first period when Pitt had the hall on their own 20-yar line. John son, Pitt's center, made a wild pass and the ball landed on Pitt's one yard line but was recovered by Pitt. State was unable to hold and the ball was on Pitt's 20-yard line before they re covered it and Prevost's toe camp to the rescue for a field goal and the only tally they could score. Pitt caught its stride in the second period when Gustafson slid over the slippery fiel dto within one yard of Slate's goal line and then added the necessary punch to a line buck to carry the ball over. In the third period Gustafson again went over the line after a series of plunges anil end run.s and the second touchdown in that quarter was the outcome of a perfectly executed pass from Rroxvn to Harding. Pitt’s fourth and last touchdown came in the last quarter * -» Idaho Gridsters to Try Out With Coast Ball Club Boise, Idaho, Nov. 17.—Syb Kief flier and “Nkippy” Stivers, mem bers of the I niversit.v of Idaho football team which clashes witli I'nlversity of Nevada here today, have received notification to come to San Francisco In the spring to try out for places on the San Francisco Pacific coast league team, the pair announced here to day.
