at Aqueduct yesterday, in the remark
ably fast time of / 80 Is, which is just
four-fifths of second slower than the
worlds record for the distance.
Roamer had to be a grand horse to
stand the terrific pace forced by Man

win by three lengths.
There was not much contention IN
this race for Roamer, and he was made
an odds-on choice, closing at l to 8,
but when Manister Toi suddenly devei-

hackers of Roamer chills.

start, but he was quickly Joined by
Manister Toi, which raced up on the

head and head for nearly half mile,
while Runes, the only other starter,
was lengths back.
Just as they were making the far
turn Shuttinger, on Roamer, eased over

to take up sharply and losing two or

may return. The latter was quarter
back of last years team until he was
injured.
With six experienced backfeld men
to pick from. Coach Metcalf will have
no difficulty in selecting a strong COM
bnation. Dial Cochran will probably
be fullback, and Howard Miller quar-
ter. With Kennedy and Raimondo as
halls and Rosen to fill any gap, a
very strong backfield may be worked
out. Fifty men, including Healy,
Weinstein and Eisfelder and several
stars of the class teams, seem to offer
promising material for the line.
Good Coaching Staff
Coach Metcalf begins his third year
of coaching at Columbia with the
present season. Commencing in 1915,
with the resumption of football in the
college, he built up team which went
through the year undefcated. Last
season the eleven made a poor show
ing. but this was largely due to the
series of injuries which followed the
team throughout the fall.
This year Coach Metcalf will be as.
sisted by Tom Thorp. who coached the
1916 freshman team. During this last
week Ted Wilmington, former assist
ant coach at Harvard. and O'Neale, OF
Syracuse, have assisted Metcalf on
different days in rounding the new
material into shape.

"Prolonged as is trench war. which
we are purusing for two years on the

of the numerous forms Of war which

a decision. Be sure that the essential

their value. One day or another they
will retake all their rights. and we
must not be caught unawares.

Its form cannot and must not be pre-

Without altering formally the law OF
military service, the German authori-

period of service beyond the forty-ffth
year, and are retaining with the col
ors, and in many instances for fight
ing duty with active units in the front
line, landsturm men who have passed
this age.
Hold Aged Men at Front
The policy of the German War De-
partment, as stated in the Reichstag
this week by n military representative,
is 10 withdraw those men over forty
five from the front line after they have
done six months OF duty there, but
military eXigencies compel the holding
Of these average men for service IN
the so-called "etape,' or region behind
the actual fighting front.
For some time the German authori-
ties. in a grand combing-out Of men
earlier pronounced unfit for service,
have been mastering men on the very
verge Of the age limit. but up to the
present they have announced that the
.ecessity has not yet arisen for legs-
lation raising the age limit to sixty

gary.
The operations of the labor service
law. now in full swing, are further re-
