Fordham Eleven Starts Work
For Contest with Villanova

hams rivals from Pennsylvania busy
afternoon on Thursday.
With Calnan directing the attack
from quarter, the backfield trio of Err
wig, Mcnamara and Dempsey is fast
and powerful and the right sort of
material around which to build a YER
satile attack.
Dempsey also practiced drop kicking
from the 35-yard line yesterday, but
Fordham to the last man on the squad
expects to score BY different method
on Thursday.
Gargan expects Villanova TO offer
strong opposition to The Bronx men.
Although beaten in nearly every con-
test, the Pennsylvanians have generally
scored and their overhead attack has
resulted in a touchdown against each
of the service elevens. McGuckin is
star drop kicker, ranking at the top of
the heap in this speciality last season.
Fordham has not defeated Villanova
since 1908, when a safety yielded

LOSES TO RILEY
IN SQUASH PLAY
Buckley, of Columbia, Wins from

to Armin W. Riley, the Princeton Club
captain, in defeating Anderson Dana, Of

the annual fall scratch tournament OF
the National Squash Tennis Associa-
ton, in progress at the Princeton, Club,
yesterday. The score was 15-12,

Riley won rather easily. Dana, who
was runner-up for the national title to
Eric S. Winston, a clubmste and cham
pion last year. attempted TO puzzle his
veteran opponent by placement and low
driving shots, but he always found
Riley on the qui vive. Riley outgener-
allied mis- opponent on many occasions,
while he was unerring in his placement
shots, and his gets" off the back wall
were spectacular. Riley leaped in front
in both sets. In the first game he
jumped into lead of aces 10 2, when
Dana rallied, and it was a nip and tuck
fight until the Princeton captain raj
lied and gathered several points at the
end.
The second game found the southpaw
Riley working in invincible form. He
opened up his bag of tricks on his rival
at the outset, and in a remarkably
short time had gained an advantage of
81. Dana managed 70 close the gap,
but Riley always maintained a comfort
able lead.
Two other close matches were played,

BROWN COACHES
GIVE THEIR MEN
HARD WORKOUT

Providence, r. l., Nov. 27.-The
Brown football team began its final
weeks practice this afternoon, and de-
spite the fact that 1t was Monday, the
coaches put the men through a stiff
workout, TO get them into good shape
for Colgate on Saturday. Everybody
here realizes that for Brown to win the
championship she must beat Colgate,
and every effort is being made to bring
about this result
The coaches criticised the men freely
this afternoon, both on their defensive
and offensive work. No regular scrim-
mage was held, the ball being given to
the varsity, and then to the seconds
near the opposing goal line. At no time
was the ball more than ten yards away
from the uprights.
The team with the ball was in
strueted to take the oval over in any
way it could. The varsity used the
plays that were so effective against
Yale and Harvard and the seconds used
Colgate's plays. The seconds we're UNI
usually successful in their work under
the coaching Of Higgins and White

SWIMMERS WIN

Aaron Polk Individual Star Of
Dual Meet - Score,
46 10 20

Swimmers Of De Witt Clinton High
School showed that they are to be
seriously considered for the champion
ship honors by their easy victory over
the High School of Commerce amphi-
bans in dual meet at the West Six
tieth Street public baths yesterday by
a score of IS points to 90
1t was a landslide for the Red ard
Black boys. They captured all six
places, and in three instances second
place. Many of the races were won
by decisive margins and in especially
fast time for so early in the season.
With the disbandment of the Clinton
football eleven, the swimming team
will be strengthened by Hoving and
Fitzgibbons, two fast men.
Aaron Polk, a veteran Clinton swim
mer, was the individual star with vic
tories in the so and 220-yard races.
The short distance was covered in
q 4-5 seconds, which is only two-fifths
of a second behind the record, while
Polk went the furlong in 1858, winning
by almost two lengths of the pool

Sanford Has Two Com
plete BackfeldS and
Many Trick Plays

New Brunswick, y. j., Nov. ga
big change in the Rutgers lineup is
being planned by the Scarlet coaches
for the Washington and jefferson game
at the Polo Grounds Thursday, and two
complete backfelds will probably be
used against the Pennsylvanians.
John Whitehill, who got in for the
first time this season in the Dickinson
game on Saturday, showed such brilliant
ability in running with the ball that
he is practically certain to start at
fullback. Hazel will be used in the
line in the first two periods, and in the
second half he will go in, compare
lively fresh, at fullback. Elliott, who
formerly played end, and Wallace will
make up the backfeld in the first half,
while Bracher and Kelly will do the
work in the second half. There is no
choice between these pairs.
The team came out of the Dickinson
game without scratch, and the men
are all in the best of shape. Even
Kelly, who broke his wrist in the Brown
game, is expected to play on Thursday.
The team was given light workout
to-day. Tuesday will be the last scrim-
mage practice Of the season, and the
team will have only signal work on
Wednesday. Hazel and Whitehill alter
mated at fulback on the varsity to-
day. Sanford has bagful of trick
plays that he has been keeping under
cover all season for the Washington
and Jefferson game, and he had the men
working on them.
The end problem, which has bothered
Sanford all season and which has been
the one weak spot on the team, will &C.
cupy his attention all this week, but it
appears to have been pretty well solved
by the use of Storck and Feitner. with
