N. Y. U.Eleven
In First Drill
For Union Men

New York University's football team
started its practice for the Union game
on Saturday with a thorough signal
drill and scrimmage on Ohio Field
yesterday. Coach Wall took advantage
of the wet field to point out to each
individual what was expected of him
both in attack and defence under this
condition. Special attention was given
to the backfeld to cure the mistakes
which lost the game to Wesleyan last
Saturday.
The varsity line was pitted against
A scrub line, and at the same time the
regular backfeld was used behind the
scrub. so that it might be drilled IN
breaking through TO smear plays and
forward passes and block kicks. ms
method Of training was pursued tor
the greater part of the afternoon,
In the scrimniage the new plays
which Coach Wall brought down from
Boston were rehearsed The men
showed energy and smoothness in run
ming through the different formations.
There was no fumbling, although the
ball was wet and slippery.
+. II. Cam, director OF attn letlcs' an
nounced that the game with TRINITY
was assured for Election Day.

De Orc Adds
To His Lead
With the Cue
Three Cushion Champion
Outclasses Daily in Second
Nights Play

Alfred De Orc still further increased
his lead over John J. DAILY in the
worlds championship threc-cushion
carom billiards at Howison's Academy
last night. II was the second block OF
fifty points. and after seventy-seyen
innings De ORC retired with a total OF
fifty buttons to forty for DAILY. The
two nights play now gives De Orc a
grand total Of 100 points to SO for
DAILY. The block of fifty tonight will
conclude the match.
The Cuban expert led from start to
finish. and of the pair he showed the
hest form. In the eighth inning he
was especially brilliant, and that was
the session which netted him his high
run of five. One of his shots was made
from n difficult angle. but he struck
the cue ball with such force that the
bal1e cut n series OF delightful ara
bcsoues on the table before they came
10 stop. a.
After the sixty-frst inning De Orc
took slump and registered no less
tbsn eleven goose eggs without point.
TIC halls seemed to break badly for
naIv during the session. The experts
Who sat around seemed to think that
Daly will have a hard time 10 pun up
the seventeen points tonight.

Chip Shots
Blu GRANTLAND RICE =

The Englewood Golf Club is now the
proud possessor Of service flag with
twenty-eight stars, indicating the nu-
merical strength Of its service entry
list. Englewood's array embraces every
branch of army and navy operations
including an aviator now flying over
French soil. The service flag with us
twenty-eight green stars against a
white background flies just under the
protecting folds Of the Stars ana
Stripes.
If the weather Is fairly propitious
Thursday afternoon Gil Nichols ana
Herbert Strong will take shot at tne
Lido golf course record Of n, now heid
nv Willie McFarlane. Seventy-seven
seems high mark for course record
hut those who have played Lido realize
what even the best professionals are
I'D against in beating this mark. ANY
first class professional can get his 81
or 80 there and not feel that his game
Is awry for the day. There may De
harder courses in the world, but we
have seen no witnesses 70 bring IN
proof of the same.
Christy Mathewson as manager has
found more time for golf than he knew
as a player. While he only gets out
around once week even now, ne mas
steadied his game around 81 or 80. IL
is still a question as to who is the
better golfer among diamond stars
Matty or Chief Bender. They are cer-
tainly the two leaders. Some day we
hope to organize a battle between the
pair to help decide the issue.
According to Francis Ouimet, army
drilling with rifle has bad elect
upon the golf swing. But trench Dig
ging with spade ought to be an ex-
cellent aid for niblick work.
There are two achievements this sea-
son, among others, that will not be
forgotten soon. One was Francis
Ouimet's Feat of playing five consecu-
tive holes a, Baltusrol under par; the
other was Gil Nicholls's span of twelve
3's at Great Neck in one round.

Rosen to Play
Quarterback in
Williams Game

Yesterdays drenchng rain forced
Coach Metcalfs men off water-logged
South Field into the university gym
nasium to practice. With creased
ball to add little life to the teams
work, scrimmage was staged between
the varsity and scrubs. besides a
snappy signal practice. Rosen again
appeared in Howard Millers old posi-
ton at quarter, and gave a promising
performance. Along with good gener-
alship in his choice of tactics, he
showed himself actively awake on the
defence to stop any one who came
through the line.
All efforts to secure a furlough for
Howard Miller to put him into Satur-
days game have apparently failed, and
Rosen is generally accepted as the man
to pilot Columbia against Williams.
Campbell, who has been substi-
tute tackle, now seems assured of get
ting into the varsity lineup for Sat

whether he is 10 replace Farer or Far

Boxing NeWS and Notes

Freddie Welsh, like the general run
Of ex-champions. refuses to stay put.
When Benny Leonard earned the light
weight title by putting away the clever
Brton, Welsh declared he had had
enough Of the ring game and that he
would devote his declining years to the
administration of his health farm. He
intimated he might be coaxed back, but
only with the cE-lce Of revenge at his
late conqueror.
The lure of the game, however, has
been more than Welsh can resist. We
find him, after a few brief months, with
the championship bee buzzing as
strongly as ever. Leonard promised
Welsh a return match and Freddie in
tends to avail himself of the honor.
Welsh. in his time one Of the greatest
defensive battlers in ring history, will
attempt his comeback at the Manhat-
tan A. C.. next Wednesday evening. He
will box ten rounds with Jimmy Paul,
the Bronx lightweight. Paul is no
Leonard, but still he is no mark. II
Freddie cannot get by this fellow he
will not deserve another crack at the
lightweight champion.
Two other matches on the Manhat-
tan A. c. programme have been ar
ranged. Ed1ie Wallace will box Patsy
Cline and Soldier Bartfeld will meet
Tex Kelly.
Jerry Cole, of Erie, Penn, and Mike
O'Dowd, of St. Paul, will furnish the
feature of the Clermont Sporting
Clubs Saturday night show. Cole has
never been seen in New York, but out
West has met such good ones as Harry
Greb. Jack Dillon, X. O. Brennan, Buck
Grouse and Tom Gibbons. Hughie
Breslin and frankie Brown will also
box ten rounds.
Young Otto and Billy Papke. OF the
East Side. will box ten rounds at the
Yorkville Sporting Club Monday
night. Willie Morris and Johnny wal
lace will furnish the seminal.

Ban johnson Cuts
League Schedule
To 40 Games
DRESIDENT BAN JOHNSON Of
the American League an

DRESIDENT BAN JOHNSON Of
the American League an
nounced in ST. Louis yester-
day that the 1918 schedule would
he cut from 1874 TO $40 games. He
said the season would begin about
April q or May I and end the
middle OF September.
Il have always thought that 1874
games were too many" said Mr..
Johnson. Each year ! have con-
tended that 40 games was the ideal
schedule. but as the sentiment
among the club owners did not seem
10 favor my idea never pressed
the point. The shortening next
season Is in no wise war move,
although l think the war provides
a very good reason for inaugurating
the plan.
''The details will be worked out
at the annual league meeting in
Chicago. | do not think the short
ening of the schedule will entail n
reduction of the player limit.
THE new schedule will enable the
teams 10 get a later start to train
ing camps, and this also will be a
big factor, as il frequently has been
too cold in the South TO do much
training when the teams arrived in
February"
August Hermann, chairman Of
the National Commission and presi-
dent of the Cincinnati Nationals, in
a letter to st. Louis newspaper
said he favored a 140-game schedule.

Violent Storm Drives
Penn State Off Field

STATE COLLEGE, Penn, Oct. "a
A violent gale of snow and rain drove
Penn States gridiron squad from the
field this afternoon. The coaches
feared to continue practice on the soft
turf because of the danger of twisted
ankle.
The squad was ordered TO report to-
night for indoor signal drill in the
stock judging pavilion. With the
strong West Virginia Wesleyan team
coming to battle State in her own yard
on Saturday, the coaches had planned
to spend considerable time to-day boil
stering the defence.
