FOOTBALL COACH
. CALLED TO C0LORS
AS SEASON OPENS

New York, Oct. 9-New York Uni
versity football prospects received an
other severe setback yesterday after
noon when Dick Eustis. who has been
head coach OF the varsiy for two years,
abandoned his position as mentor of
Violet athletes on the gridiron. in an
swer to call to the colors. Eustis,
who is member of the Aviation
Corps, was in the reserve of that
branch of service, and not expecting
to be called before the end of the
present football setson, undertook to
make team at the Heights of the
little material left among the students
Up to the time. of his departure yes
terday for Ithaca, IN. Y, where he
will be in training, Eustis had sue
ceeded far beyond the hopes of the
Violet enthusiasts in moulding an
eleven for the local university. and his
loss will be severely felt for the re-
rnainder of the year. Frank Wall, as
sistant to Eustis and member of the
physical training staff at N. Y. u.
will succeed as head coach.
Before leaving the team Eustis. ap-
pointed Floyd Egan, the stellar enc
for the coming games in place OF
Howard Cam. the elected captain,
who is now an ensign in the navy
Egan is playing quarter back on the
present varsity. and it is to him that
the New York adherents look fol
whatever victories they will attain.

BOXING TITLE MEANT
LITTLE MONEY TO IT'S
HOLDER In OLD TIMES

Deaf Burke defeated Andrew Cow
in % rounds at Temple Hills, Eng
land, on Oct. 3, 1929. Burke was the
champion of England and considered
the greatest fighter of his day, yet his
compensation for this bout was five
pounds, or $25. a sum that defeated
third or fourth-rater would pocket
only with scorn nowadays. As a
matter of fact he wouldn't have re-
ceived cent had he lost the fight,
which was not, an unlikely occurrence
as his opponent was a raw-boned
giant and a formidable fighter. So
he had everything toll ose and mighty
had to dodge the police of several
counties in order to get a chance to
win his measly five pounds.
The fight was arranged at Wool
witch. but the police stopped the pro-
ceedings Another site was found,
but the minions of the law again
spilled the beans. The fighters and
fans then crossed the river to Snares-
brook. but were again interrupted.
Next the ring Was pitched at Temple
Mills, where the coast was clear of
cops. Burke's ring costume consisted
of green drawers with yellow braid
and knots of yellow ribbon at the
knees, while his calves were encased
II brilliant striped stockings. Burke
simply cut the other. fellow int
shreds, but Cow stuck to his guns
until the 22nd round, when his second
tossed up the sponge to save his mar
from being killed. And then Burke
collected his 20 bones.

EMPIRE

In his latest Aircraft picture, ..The
Man from Painted Post" now at the
Empire theatre, Douglas Fairbanks
discloses many new cowboy tricks
learned from champions of a recent
Rodeo Meet, who appear with him in
the photoplay. The story of Wyom-
ing cattle rustiing days presents the
yefsatile Douglas in many thrilling
situations offering typical Fairbanks
surprises.
Among other things Douglas is
called upon to shoot two holes
through the bad mans hat while il
reposes peacefully upon the latter's
head. some hundred yards away
When the usual substitute was sug-
gested, Fairbanks refused to listen to
1t, thereby retaining his distinction Of
never taking stunt before the
camera.
