that between the Fordham eleven and
villanova at Fordham Field. Both will
be started at . o'clock.
The Rutgers-Washington and Jefferson
uame should prove OF great interest be-
cause Of the modern attack used by both
leans. Sol Metzger Is noted all over
the country for his wonderful ability to
develop a forward passing team. and the
team under his tutelagc now should put
across n fine brand Of passing this after
noon. { Yale a few weeks & W. and j.
was able to score IA points against the
Ellis almost wholly by this method OF
attack.
sanford . fine Line Coach.
Foster Sanford. on the other hand
has a team at Rutgers that can be
counted upon tn furnish n high brand Of
fence and a kick. the multiple kick. that
should worry Washington and Jefferson.
Sanford has a lot of tricks In store for
the W. and j. team and he hopeS to
spring several surprises.
The line work of Rutgers should be
Of the very best sort. as Sanford Is. In
my opinion. the best line coach in the
country to-day. Sanford's best play II
the multiple kick, which scores three
points the same as a field goal or . place
or drop kick. The multiple kics 10 a
punt pure and simple. but is held by
three men. Because Of the weak n
play. Sanford yesterday announced he
will TAX Garrett. the big Indian guard.
from that position and place him At end.
Practice signal Drills.
Sanford did not hold any scrimmage
practice at Rutgers yesterday. but he
had his men out on the field all after
noon and the gathering shades OF night
failed to break up the work. The team
ran through signal practice. trying ou'
all the new plays that will he sprung

the field. and great care was taken that
nothing should leak out.

W. and }. Works At Polo Grounds.
:. ~ Washington and Jefferson team.
n charge of Sol Metzger. arrived in this
kts early yesterday and went TO the
Cumberland Hotel. The team went to
the Polo Grounds in the afternoon for a
short workout. Sanford's boys have the
forward pass down to such a hne degree
that 1t almost Is impossible for an op-
posing eleven to cover all Of the possible
men who are eligible to receive the ball.
Sol Metzger has his men drilled to a
nicely. In McCreight he has a wonder
full passer. who Is ably assisted b.
etobbs. who can pick a pass out OF the
ozone from almost any position. The
style Of passing game used by Metzger's
men Is exceedingly hard to break up, for
~ the linemen rush In the back simply
tosses the bail over their heads. and II
they do not run In he can often run
with the ball for considerable gains. II
n essential therefore that the men pre-
arrange who Is TO go in and who Is to
remain In the rear SO that both the re-
ceiver, and the thrower may be covered.
With this light shifty team. which Is
expert at the open game. and the heavy
Rutgers team. which is also OF the tricky
kind. the football fans should have a
fine treat at the Polo Grounds to-day.

Fine Gard At Fordham.
The Fordham-villanova game should
prove TO be one for blood. The New
York institution has not defeated the
Nillanova eleven for several years. and
now that victory seems within its grasp
they will put upsa st'n ight to realize
their ambition.
The game should have many thrills.
for the Villanova boys feel that they can
beat most any team that Fordham puts
out. and the Maroon eleven is bound to
a the dread out OF the big V.
An hours signal drill yesterday, with
Calnsn directing the team at quarter and
Erwig. Dempsey and Connolly carrying
the ball in the back1eld. showed that
Coach Gargan will use the same back
field az played In the Holy Cross contest.
The light workout waS highly satisfac-
tory to the coaches, and the team Is con-
fdent of defeating the Pennsylvania col
lcgians to-day. Not since 1908 has
Fordham secured a victory over Villa
nov and the Maroon has been defeated
on four occasions since then by their
Thanksgiving Day rivals.
The forward pass formations rehearsed
during the past week will augment Ford
hams bag OF deceptive formations, and
Capt. Jack conklin counts on his aerial
attack to confuse the visitors.
McGuckln Is the lone star OF the Villa
nova team and "A kicker OF merit. lie
