n. Y. u. Men Work Hard
on a SOggy GridirOn

Despite the rain and soggy field, Tom
Reilly, coach of the New York Uni
versity football team, gave his men a
long signal drill. followed by stiff
scrimmage, on Ohio Field yesterday
afternoon. Ira Fraim, at right end on
the varsity, starred. His brilliant
catch of pretty forward pass from
Cam Melted twenty yards and touch
down
With Olswang at the helm, the var
sity rushed the scrub off its feet Tor
large gains. Cam, Bernstein and
Greene. who worked in Erwig's posi-
ton, found little trouble in piercing
the second teams rush line.
In the scrimmage Captain Ralph
Somers showed great offensive power,
opening up big holes for the backield.
Williams. the negro star; Sokolower
and House withstood the battering OF
the second team backfeld well when
Reilly gave the scrub the pigskin on
the 'varsity's l0-yard line.
Because the second team could make
no impression on the varsity line
Reilly shifted Cam and Bernstein 70
the scrub. They were able 20 force
the ball over the goal line.

PLANS
STIR COLLEGES
Contests for Titles May Be
Opened to All East
ern Institutions.

The annual fall meeting Of the IN
tercollegiate Swimming Association,
scheduled to take place this week, aas
been postponed until October 80, IN
order to allow the delegates to discuss
with the teams they represent several
important changes wk:ch are conteih-
plated.
Chief among these is the question OF
opening the individual championship
events to all colleges in the east.
Hitherto only the students Of universe
ties holding membership in the league
five or six in number been per-
mitted to enter, and this has caused
much unfavorable comment, both from
ineligible ca .1ates and from the pub
lie. il being contended that 1t was abb
surd to award so-called intercollegiate
titles for contests so restricted IN
scope.
The league authorities, however.
maintained that any university could
compete for the championships by tax
ing membership and comp ylng with
the rules. and pointed out that It was
not logical for outsiders to expect 10
benefit by the advantages offered ny
the association without paying dues or
contributing in any way TO its support.
A suggestion has now been ofere J
which should eliminate all further dis-
fculties if voted upon favorably. II Is
that the league adopt a new form Of
membership, at reduced fees, which will
enable the holders 70 enter men in the
individual championships without being
obliged TO compete in the swimming
and water polo tournaments, as they
have been forced to do in the past.
This seems = most desirable solution
Of the problem for all concerned.
Another promised innovation which
is generally approved by experts is that
of stretching a rope lengthwise in tbs
middle of the pool, at all dual meets,
and starting the contestants OF oppos-
ing colleges in separate lanes, so that
collisions can only occur between team
mates. Last season crooked swimming
resulted in a number of serious fouls,
which affected the issue OF races, and
the referees verdicts invariably were
followed by most regrettable srgu-
ments and protests such occurrences
will not again be witnessed if the pro-
posed rule is adopted.
Lengthening OF the league schedule
also Is under consideration. Some q
the teams contend there are too few
meets TO make them self-supporting
and that the visiting college is al
ways handicapped through lack o. IA.
miliarity with the rivals pool There
fore, they advocate return meets, which
will increase the receipts and establish
fair, equa! conditions.
The question of accepting the water
polo rules recently revised by me
swimming committee of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association will be
placed before the delegates, but some
minor alterations will probably DC
made before the are put through.
The association officers elected for
the season of 1875 are: President,
Allison, of Columbia; vice. president.
Schulman, of the College of the City OF
New York, and secretary, Osgood, OF
Pennsylvania.

Jack Dillon. of Indianapolis ,"Man
Killing" Jack. they call him in the Mid
die West beat Jim Savage in every
round of ten-round bout at the
Broadway Sporting Club. of Brooklyn,
last night, but failed to knock him out.
Il was a one-sided battle throughout.
Savage served only as a target for the
terrific smashes of the Hoosier, but, al
though knocked down three times and
vergng en- a knockout throughout the
last FIVE rounds. he remained on his
feet with a grim courage that could
only arouse the admiration and Won
dermcnt of all.
Savage went down for the full count
three times. lie took his first trip to
the mat in the fifth round, when Dillon
caught MIN with a right hand uppercut
on the tip of the chin while the men
were in the midst of a furious ex-
change. Savage fell against the ropes,
and this circumstance prevented n
knockout. Had his head ever hit the

jaw.

soon a terrific left hand hook TO the
stomach sent him plunglng TO the can
vas again. How he ever regained his
feet this time is a mystery, but he did
it all right.
When the sixth round started Dillon
tore out of his corner and waded into
the Orange fighter to finish the TASK he
had started so well. Savage met him
half way. The men fought all over the
ring, with Dillon landing heavily on the
body Suddenly shifting his attack,
Jack landed a right hand swing TO the
back of the neck, and Savage fell to
the boards with "a crash. The referee
counted up to nine before Jim got up,
but get up he did.
As a match it amounted to little.
Dillon was by all means the better
man. He made Savage's body the OBJ
Jet OF his attack, and landed many
crushing blows. II was not long before
this beating around the stomach wore
the Jersey fighter down to a sorry. fiat
footed walk, robbed him of his steam
and took the snap out of his punches.
On rare occasions Jim landed good,
clean blows.
But as an exhibition of gameness it
was remarkable. Savage won more
friends in defeat than his conqueror
won in victory.
Terry Mitchell won the honors over
frankie Notter in the semi-fnal bout
OF ten rounds, but the actions OF both
men. who showed little respect for the
State Athletic Commission rules, did
not please the onlookers.

No SCrimmage in Mud
for Columbia Eleven

South Field was a swamp yesterday

Columbia football squad from having
workout in preparation for a hard
scrimmage to-day.
Metcalf went back to fundamentals,
and the work was almost the same as
in the first two or three days, and con-
sisted almost altogether of hmbering
up exercises, with a short practice for
the forwards in running down the field
under punts. The ground was so slip
perry that Metcalf did not call for any
tackling to speak o..
No progress has been made toward
filling the open date on the schedule
of the varsity eleven, and it may be
that no game will be played on Novem-
Der 20.
Five games have been arranged for
the freshman team with high and
preparatory schools in the metropolitan
district. The final game will be played
with the Hamilton Institute eleven on
South Field on November "a, so that
the season will end for the cubs just
one day before the 'varsity's last game,
which is with Wesleyan on Thanksgiv-
