Election Day, always a big occasion for Brooklyn's scholastic football players, this year promises to be more memorable than ever before. Tho schedule for the day calls for three of the most important contests of the season, the rival elevens being Erasmus vs. Manual at Ebbets Field, Toly Prep vs. 13oys High at Washington Park and Commercial vs. Brooklyn Prep at Commercial Field.

The first two frames have been Election Pay fixtures for many years, but Tuesday will bo the Initial appearance of Cotu-Jnerclal and Brooklyn Frep on this date. A careful comparison of the rival teams Indicates that three of tho closest and most bitterly fought games ol the season will result, Ilccauso of past performances, Erasmus, Poly Prep and Commercial have been made the favorites by close students of tho game, but the teams are so evenly matched it would not be at all surprising if the other schools came out victorious. Chief Interest centers in the Erasmus Manual bnttlo and in all probability Ebbets Field will stage the largest crowd of the day. The two schools aro bitter football rivals and the annual football game with Erasmus is looked upon as the biggest sporting event of tho year at Manual, while Tuesday's contest ranks second only to tho Poly Prep struggle, as far as Buff and Bluo enthusiasts aro concerned.

St. Francis Prep proved no match for the speedy Flushing High eleven yesterday afternoon, when the Long Island team defeated the Brooklynites nt Flushing Field by the overwhelming score of 34-0. The Butler street, team, after having played brilliantly and winning its last two games out of town, collapsed yesterday, nnd was helpless before the heavy onslaught and diverse attack of the strong Alaroon team. From the very outset It was apparent that the home team was out to make a largo score, and to say tt succeeded would bo putting It mildly. It was thought that Flushing would show many of its trick plays and present its vnried attack, but after finding how weak the St.

Francw line was in the first five minutes of play, resorted to the old-style game and Intermingled It with an occasional forward pass. Flushing In all made fourteen first downs to its opponents' six, and never let up for a minute. When St. Francis Prep had the ball In' its ponession the backs experienced great difficulty In executing plays. Many times before a play was started the Trowbridge brothers and Sauvage would break through the line of scrimmage and tackle the runner.

Frank Mulligan, the diminutive halfback of the visitors, suffered a great deal from lack of interference. At that he made the big gains for St. Francis, on two occasions making spectacular 40-yard end runs. Left Halfback Lawler was in the thick of every play and was consistent in advancing the ball. Clark started hostilities by kicking off to Holin.

who ran the ball back 10 Yards. Smith made two yards through center. Mulligan failed to gain at right guard. Lawler made one yard through center. On the fourth down Dolin fumbled as he was about to kick nnd loit the ball, which was recovered by Clark.

Sauvago Stores Touchdown for Flushing. Donoghuo on the first play crashed through left tackle for six yards. Pur-roughs could make but two at center. Sauvage on the next play tore around right, running 10 yards tor a touchdown. S.

Sherman kicked tho goal. Flushing shortly nfterward made its second touchdown, the result of great, offensive strength nnd brilliant playing bv the backfield. On a series of line plav.t, In which the Brooklynites' line crumbled bndlv. (he ball was brought up to the five-yard line. Here Donoghue through left guard for touchdown, barely crossing the goal line.

S. TrowhnJge kicked a neat goal. Fullback Clark tallied the third touchdown on another line piny toward the end of the second period, sner-mnn Trowbridge again kicked the gonl. The second half was a repetition of the first. Bnlin kicked off to Clark, who mpde a spectacular 40-yard run.

evading three or four tacklers. Dono ghue went around left end for five yards. Burroughs made three yards through tackle, and Clark on the next play broke through left taeklo for a touchdown. Flushings second string sound then went into the fray and held the enemy safe for the rest of the game. Lawler nnd Bill Canavan were the outstanding stars for the losers, while the Trowbridge brothers and I lark were very prominent ill Flushing's victory.

WINS. Cincinnati, (H toiler 31 The t'nl-vcrntty of Cincinnati defeated State University of Kentucky here today by 14 to 7. The locals outweighed the Kentuekinns and resorted mostly to old-fashioned football, on the other hand, the visitors played a more open game and scored their only touch down on a series of forward passes.

A decisive victory will give Poly Prep a chance for the tlllo, so it is needless to sav the Blue nnd Gray players will put forwari their best efforts. A brilliant struggle should result. Last year Poly won by 13-0. omnicn lai-iirooUlvn prop Game, to He Played In Morning. Tho Commercial-Brooklyn l'rep game will be played In tliu morning: the other two contests heing afternoon af-fuirs.

Although both teams are out of the light for the championship, they should furnish an exhibition of football every bit as pood as that put up by the elevens in the other two btrug-gles. Because of its big advantage in weight, Commercial rules a favorite, but many figure the great speed of tho Crown Heights Institution will even up mattoi-H. By defeating Erasmus, Brooklyn Prep proved that It has an aggregation that tanks with the best. If the Blue and White players do not show the effects of yesterday's game against St. John's Prop, they will make the Scarlet and Gray tight for every Inch of ground.

Couch Shearer lias made several changes in tho Commercial line up since the Erasmus gamo, and he Is of the opinion that tho team as now constituted Is the strongest and best balanced that has represonted Commercial since he became coach. Tho most Important change is the benching of Burnham, the clover little end, in favor of Baldwin. The game is nure to be a fast one, as both teams play tho open style of football and rely chlelly on speed. Cominerciul has met with great success in forward passing, while Brooklyn Prep huB also used this play to advantage. Commercial has the stronger line, but Brooklyn Prep's hnckflel.l, which includes Hex Dcghuee, the all-scholastic fullback, has done better work than the rival qunrtet.

Last year Brooklyn Prep won by 14 to 9. Another Blue and White victory will make the score in games three all. from all the schools indicate that many tickets have been sold, and it Is expocted that clone to 20,000 will attend the three games.

i ft. 11 In. against Brooklyn teams this season. The Buff and Blue defeated Commercial 14-0 and lost to Brooklyn Prep 7-b, while Manual was defeated Commercial 110-13 and by Adelphl 7-ii. Manual, however, is a very much Improved team since its set-back at the hands of Commercial and will bo represented by several strong players, who were not in the line-up on that occasion.

Erasmus, on tho othor hand, will present the samo eleven that downed the Scarlet and Gray, except that Bard will replace Kleins at center. Erasmus will have an advantage in weight of less than two pounds to player. As far as the lines are concerned, there is nothing to choose between the rivals. Both boe.it of strong and more or less experienced players from tackle to tackle, and it is unlikely mat any consistent ground gaining will be made through the line. In Mike, llcrshman and Larry Souville, Erasmus has two clever all-around players, who on form should do slightly better work than their opponents.

l.iasnius Appears to Have Stronger ISackfichl. On paper the Kramus backfield, mnde up of Captain Jimmy Olson, Malcolm Tuttlo, Paul Custellanos and Charlie Tomkins, looms up as a stronger quartet than Barnard, Eddi.) Ueuerstcln, Charlie Titus and jlarold Caminez. but it is in this department that Manual expects to spring big surprise. Buff and Bluo enthusiasts plaee their chief hones in Olson and Tuttlo. Thoje two have been terrors to opposing tacklers this season and siiould prove consistent ground gainers on Tuesday.

Olson hnri few equals when It to running with the ball in the open field. Tha reinstatement of Feuersteln has given Manual's stock a biff boost. The. speedy littlo back was one of the heroes of last year's game against Erasmus, nnd he in expected to repeat this sea-Eon. He did considerable practice while on the ineligible list and is reported to be in excellent condition.

Feuerstein, Oaniiuez, Barnard and Titus compose one of the fastest quartets ever developed In this borough They can cover iiiO yards on an average of 10 seconds. Erasmus has shown the more varied attack to date, the Buff and Blue players using open and straight football equally well. Coach Forsytho has taught his charges several new trick plays that are expected to cause a sensation in local scholastic ranks. While Manual ha.i relied on the old-fashioned line-plunging game so far. It Is certain that a departure will be made from this custom on Tuesday, and that the Blue and (lold will make an attempt to sweep their opponents off their feet by a bewildering exhibition of speed.

Of the five times Manual and Erasmus have met on the gridiron, the former has won on three occasions, while one gnme resulted in a tie. Ijwt year the Blue and Cold won by 12-0. i'latbush students look upon Manual as somewhat of a jinx and are determined to have revenge for past beatings on Tuesday. Manual players, however, are extremely confident and hold that tho fact that their rivals are again the favorites will make no more difference than it did in former years. Tho officials of the eamo will be Oeorge Beavers, Wr.it Point, referee; Al Farrier.

A hasty glance at the records of the two teams to date would indlcato that ply prep was going to have an easy to with Boys High. Such Is not ng to be the case, however. The i and Black is a remarkably im-ved team since John E.

Wilson be-le coach and the work of the play-on Tuesday is likely to prove 'ewhat of a sensation. On form, l'rep should win, but by a very-ill margin. ouch Hill Slegrlst of Poly realizes task that is before him and knows if his charges are to win It will be because of trick plays and tho superior speed of the Blue nnd Cray players. Boys High will have an advantage in weight of nine pounds to a man and this is sure to have some effect, especially on a muddy gridiron. A comparison of the individual players shows that Poly Prop has the stronger lino, while Boys High's backfield has done, the more consistent ground gaining even though the team has not scored.

A stonewall defense has been the big feature of tho work of tile Livingston street team to date, (inly two touchdowns, ono of them fluke, have been scored against Poly this season. Mncdonald, TTardenbrook, Hyder and Malonoy will start in the backfield for Poly Prep. While somewhat inexperienced, these players have Improved with every game nnd are likely to be al their beat on Tuesday. One thing is certain and that is, there will lie a. big improvement in the Blue and Cray attack.

All the players are pi lined for tho game of their lives and should put up on exhibition thai will go a long way luAUid I Blue and Whita Eleven Takes Rivals Into Camp by 19-0. nrnoklyn and St. John's Prep, Iho two hig Catholic prep schools of the hoi'oiuili met for tho first time on Hie gridiron yesterday, at Hawthorne field, the former winning out by 30 to I. The speedy Crown Heights eleven outplayed its opponents in all depart incnts of tiie game, and had it not h-'oii for the sturdv secondary defenso of the Bed and White backfield, the victors would have rolled up a much inrirer score.

As it was, tho fast ground gainers of the victors plowed Unouiili i iioir opponents' lino and around their ends almost at will. The tictory of the Dine and White 'earn was due mainly to good old-iasbioned football. The terrific line plunges of Hex Poghuee and the end running of MeMahon, Kelly and Cav-lin were as spectacular as any seen on a local field this season. While the charges of Coach Walsh were battering their opponents, and resorting very seldom to open play, the St. John's players on several occasions tried forward passes, but only twice did they meet with success.

To start the game. Jack Court, tho burly St. John's l'rep fullback, who formerly played for Bushwick, kicked off to Deghuee, who by some clever dodging, to carry the ball back 20 yards before he was downed. Kelly made 5 yards around right end on the next play, hut a fumble gave St. John's the ball on the third down.

For St. John's Prep, Court mnde 4 aZi to the winning team. The iropny tniH year is a urone uitue, "i.o Trioinplio."

The ball' was then on the line, where It remained for two downs, the l'rep line being: Impregnable.

At this point, Court tried field goal, but Vail by fast work broke through his opponents' line nnd blocked the only chance the Willoughby Avenue team had to score. Following this the Brooklyn back-field marched down the field unrestrained, gaining at every play, until a fumblo gave the ball to St. John's Prep on the latter's 15-yard line, as the quarter ended.

The third Brooklyn touchdown came in the final period, after osme spectacular work on the part of the Hluo and White backfield. Nothing which the St.

Prep players attempted seemed to impede the onrush of tho Crown Heights. Line plunges, end runs, cross-bucks from trick forma-' tions, all proved to be capable ground gainers. A 20-yard run around right end, by Peghuce was the feature. This play brought the hall to the 7-yard lire. Then a plunge through right taeklo by Oetrhuee, and another end run by the same player from a fake kick formation, gave the victors another score.

Another attempt to kick the goal failed. Standing out most prominently in the work of the Crown Heights team was the plnyinir of McCrath and Vail on the line. The former was ever a thorn in the side of the St. John's Prep forward passes, and kicks, while the latter broke through the Ked and White line at will. From the St.
