A NEW FIXTURE
FOR PIPING ROCK

New York. Dec. 4.-Thc Piping Rock
Racing Association will run the richest
Of all its fixtures at the coming spring
meeting. a sweepstakes for 2-year-olds,
that probably will be worth about $4,000.
The new race will be known as the
Piping Rock Invitation Handicap at
five furlongs over the straightaway.
according to the entry blanks sent
out by Frank Bryan yesterday. 1t
will he open only to members of the
Piping Rock Club and the Piping
Rock Racing Association. Subscrip-
tions will be at 800 each, and the
entries will close on January l, 1916
There will be further liability of
500 each II the horses are not de-
clared by April !. Starters will pay
an additional $3.50.
That the private sweepstakes is
popular at Piping Rock there is no
doubt, and most OF the big races at
the Locust Valley course have some
thing more of the truly sporting in
them than those at the big tracks.
More than that. il has been a big
factor in bringing new people to take
up racing.

THREE PLACES FOR VA.

la selecting a mythical South Atlantic
eleven. the latitude between the Mason
and Dixon line and the north boundary
of the southern intercollegiate section
makes the naming Of the players "A hard
and tedious task. and one in which there
are opportunities galore for come
backs" No matter what players arc
selected there is always a kick regis
tered from some angle.
The showing OF the Georgetown, vir-
Sinia and Washington aud Lee eIevens
during the past campaign gives one
ample room to make a selection among
this leading trio Of southern schools that
would he equal TO competing against any
of the mythical teams chosen In any part
OF the country. The eleven named would
be able to make Mr.. Walter Camps All

by the South Atlantic elevens this sea-

ranks in first position. In the Northern
States the work of the Charlottesville
eleven is considered by experts aS being
the real surprise and sensation of the
season. while the powerful scoring ability
of Coach Exendine's Georgetown club
was looked upon with envy by many of
the big colleges above the Mason-DiXon
line.

ton left a big impression every place it
appeared this season, as among the play
ers composing Washington and Lees
team were some OF the best in this d.
vision. The work Of the Generals against

Northern gridiron critics consider the
style of game played by the teams In the
South Atlantic section, and instead OF
looking upon the elevens from this terri
tory as easy picking next season, many
of the Big Eight" will be prepared for
sturdy opposition when they face a
Dixie" team.
ers named from the Georgetown team
seem to be logical choices. the other
three could have made any OF their
opponents sit up and take notice"
and in the opinion Of the writer
would have outplayed the other can
didates for these positions.
The backfield chosen for this myth
cal eleven is the cream Of the talent
in the South. One switch has been
made In order to place the best play
ers of the South among the quartet
which might try to stop this combina-

SECOND ELENEN.

Schultz. OF Washington and Lee is a
pcricncc helped him great deal in his
work this season. In this division there
was any number of brilliant tackles, but
Schultz appears To be the best of the
lot while Bill Ward, of Georgetown. is
next. Closely pressing these stars are
Ramsey, OF South Carolina. and Benedict.
of Coach Bocock's Virginia "Polys.''
Honors in the guard positions nsrrows
to the selection of a pair from quartet
of players. which seems TO rank above
the others. Virginia having two while
the Hilitopper's were blessed with two
guards which were exceptionally good.
Capt. Barron. of Georgetown. and Cole
man. of Virginia. placed on the first
eleven. while Johnny Nahum, the
captain-elect Of the Hilltoppers. and
Thurman. of Virginia. are named on the
second team. There was little difference
in the playing OF these four men. the ag-
gressiveness of each constantly keeping
them in the eyes OF the critics
From what looked to be second-string
material to the best center in the South
is the use Of Charlie Fitzgerald. the
Georgetown middle man. Replacing the
regular center in the Princeton game.
Fitzgerald showed enough aggressiveness
to warrant a thorough trial and during
the ensuing campaign outplayed every
man who faced him, even the wonderful
McEwan of the West Point team. Fitz-
gerald Is rowing center, and seems
to have second sight In diagnosing the
plays OF his opponents. His ability at
kicking goals after touchdowns cannot
be equale by any gridironer Of the coun-
try. as his record Of thirteen out of four
teen against the St. Louis University
team will stand for some time.
Among the cond-string players Sc
lected are men of almost equal ability
as that OF the first team. Leighty. Of
Georgetown, In fullback. ranks fifth
among the scorers OF the East and
proved to be one of the best players in
the South at leading an interference.
Anderson of Virginia was a great help
to the powerful Mayer. and would no
doubt make a great running mate for
Teighty, OF Georgetown, and Wall, of
the Hilltoppers, who Is placed In the
other position. Berkeley, of Virginia Is
given the honors in the quarterback po-
sition because he ranked among the best
backs In rounding an end and sliding OF
tackle. His running back of punts and
carrying the ball on the kickoff was q
big help to the Virginia team.
With Hill, Of South Carolina. and Nc
DougaI, Of the North Carolina Aggies.
as ends, the first combination selected
would hnd II hard to gain around these
TANKS. Benedict, Ramsey, Thurman and
Nahum, with Pierotti In the center of
the line, the second string eleven forms
q set Of forwards which Is almost equal
h strength to that Of the first team.
