According to the football expert on
the New York Evening World, Fordham
college has a team able TO hold its own
! with the best elevens in the country and
! the maroon jersied youngsters are prim-
ed for the Georgetown game in Gotham
next Tuesday.
The victory of Fordham over Holy
Cross last Saturday has boosted the
stock of this university to such an ex-
tent that many are predicting a win
for the New Workers. next week carry
ing with It the Catholic College cham
pionship of the East
Here's what the New York expert has
to say about Fordham: "Fordham espe-
college In the country q busy afternoon.
II Is the best team the uptown uni
versity has had in years. The strange
feature Of the teams remarkable show
ing is the work OF four youngsters who
| never put on football t1gs until this
year. They are now stars. some Of the
best players on the team.
"Fordham's most satisfactory game
was the 10-to-0 victory over Holy Cross
last Saturday. A win over the powerful
Georgetown team on Election Day would
give Fordham the Catholic champion
ship of the East. The Bronx youngsters
are working overtime this week get
ting in tiptop shape for the battle.
Georgetown defeated the Navy and held
Princeton and the Army to low scores.
SO II Is readily seen the Maroon players
will have their hands full next week
There are several striking charac-
teristics to Fordham's team. its power
full rushing attack. and alert defense
against forward passes and fine individ-
usl work OF several players. But let us
see how Fordham develops her football
teams
Just now Coach Waugh is drilling his
substitutes, for a team nowadays must
be well equipped with reserve men, The
second string men are being taught to
jump into the place OF any regular and
perform so the eleven will not be weaken
ed.
THE regular Fordham team lines I'D
In the following order: Left emo,
Coklin. 1sS; left tackle, Mulcahy. ls;
left guard. Benson, 1T3; center, Treanor.
1S5: right guard, Hendricks, 800; right
tackle. May. 1s6: right end. Corridor.
los: quarterback, Dunn, $50: left half.
cantwell, 1s5; right half. Butler; full
back. Yule."
At Georgetown the players are saying
little but saving wood. Every effort Is
being made to present the best possible
combination against the New Yorkers,
to play, the Hilltoppers are confident
of winning. Without Gilroy, Georetown's
attack will hardly amount to much
unless Andy Dempsey comes to life and
rlays the game he showed against
Princeton.
Bob Unglsub once a star on Balti-
more's back-lot diamonds, later one of
the shining lights in the American
League and now manager of the Fargo
Club. Of the Northern circuit, is at his
Baltimore home again. He looks just the
same as when he played first base for
the Boston Red SoX and Washington
and declares he is playing, almost as
good ball.
Unglaub has been successful as a pilot
and has depended upon the back lots OF
Baltimore to keep his club In the race.
He had with him this season Gus Smith,
of Patterson Park fame; Eddie Hooper.
coach of the Hopkins University. and lit
tie Pedone. who was given q trial by
Jack Dunn
Hooper covered second base and did
very well on the defensive. but fell down
in his hitting. Pedone went along at a
splendid clip until he broke an ankle and
Smith made the hit OF his life. The fans
of Fargo fell head over heels for the
catcher and he is In strong
Ungiaub looked after the initial sack
and batted for 10. He was second
slugger in the league. Berger topping
him. The latter IL a catcher who has
been grabbed by the Cubs.
When the new grounds OF the New
York Yankees are completed next year
every club in the American League will
be equipped with steel and concrete
stands. President Ban johnson will have
reason to feel proud OF the fact The
various clubs will be able to accommodate
the crowds which will have no reason to
complain because OF lace of space.
In the National League there are three
clubs. namely. the Chicago Cubs. the ST.
Louis Cards and the Phillies, which still
have the old stands. or these, Chicago
can boast of the worst OF the old ones, |
which holds the smallest crowd. Be-
sides. II Is made I'D of wood. The st. !
Louis stand Is also built OF wood, and |
therefore considered in the DANGEROUS
class. The Phillies' is partly steel. and is !
still considered good. but II is too small |
for championship club.
Harvard's star. Mahan. is one field goal
ahead Of Tibbot. OF Princeton, accord |
ing to the figures to date. The score is |
1--WE to four for the Harvard man. Tib-
bot. 1t is believed. however. has been far
more versatile in his playing this year
and is going along at a clip which prom |
ises to rate him with Mahan and Barrett.
OF Cornell, as a back. {
