TEAM CoMPETITIo
On to Georgetown
Slogan at Fordham

"On TO Georgetown" will be the
slogan at Fordham this week in prepa
ration for the annual game with the
Southerners on Election Day. This is
Fordham's biggest game Of the year,
and if the Maroon can triumph all past
defeats will be forgotten.
Fordham has no alibis to offer for
the rout at the hands of Rutgers. The
locals were outclassed. Most of the
regulars got battered in the fray, al
though the game could not have been
more clearly played.
The contest only served to bring
more to the light the weaknesses of
the Bronx men. Coach McCaffery will
have to strengthen the line, develop in
reference and eliminate fumbling be-
fore his men will be able 10 cope with
the remaining teams on the schedule.

Titterton Wins
Novice Contest
For Harriers
Pastime A. c. Youth Covers
Observation-Disclosures
Course in 2l:38
By a. G. Cavagnaro

The first novice run ever held by the
Metropolitan Association Of the A. A.
L. took place over the Van Cortlandt
Park course yesterday. The victor was
Frank Titterton. sevcnteen-ycar-old
youth, of the Pastime Athletic Club.
The field was surprisingly small, only
ffty-two runners competing.
Up with the leaders from the start,
Titterton made his bid for the van
position at the two-mile point and was
never overtaken. His form OF locomo-
tion was typical of a beginner, but his
legs possessed the strength and speed
to carry him over the stiff three and a
half mile course in 21:3S.
Following fifty yards behind came
Charles Jordan, unattached, who has
been trying for several years to win
his first medal. Jordan pressed his
younger rival throughout, but was COM
PEELED to succumb to a speedier COM
petitor when the test came. In third
place followed Harry Stoddard, OF the
Mohawk Athletic Club, who was also
prominent among the pacemakers from
the guniire.
Sailor Does Well
While the performance OF Titterton
Was a surprise to many, so was that OF
Charles NJ. Fuqua, a San Francisco boy,
who is q sailor stationed at the Brook
Ign Navy Yard. The Coast boy, who
was competing in his first A. A. u.
event, finished in fourth place and
was running strongly at the finish.
Fuqua trained for the race on the navy
yard grounds. =,
Several thousand spectators gathered
around the starting point, which was
on the parade grounds. The boys COW
cred one circuit of the regulation course
and finished on the flled-in ground OF
the proposed stadium.
The barriers broke into frenzied
sprint at the start. and after fifty yards
had been covered J. Brundage appeared
in front. followed by John Plitcha.
They did not retain their advantage
long. fer when the top Of the golf links
hill was reached Jordan was leading.
followed by Stoddard. Plitcha and Tit
terton, only six yards separating the
four runners.
CtTlUt lDI DiiiuS
There was no change in the forward
positions until the course turned or the
Mosholul Parkway, down a
steep hill. At the two-mile station Tit
terton moved up and challenged Jordan
for the lead. The two raced stride for
stride until they came TO the water
jump, which Titterton cleared with one
leap, to gain several yards on Jordan,
who missed his footing.
Jordan did not cry quits, but sprinted
forward, and again came abreast of Tit
torton at the base Of Cemetery Hill. At
this point Titterton brought into play
The knowledge learned from veteran
Psstime athletes in contending with
hills, and gained lead of twenty yards
OF the climb. Jordan could never make
up this distance.
Titterton had trouble in keeping his
feet because of the rough going, but in
the stretch came on with strong
sprint.
A game piece of running was that
shown by Joe Shea, Of the Brooklyn
A. A, who, after losing his right shoe
at the one and half mile point, con-
tinued oil to the finish line. His foot
was badly cut at the finish.

Chip Shots
: By GRANTLAND RICE

The Ouimet- Guilford golfng combi-
nation has about cleared up the land
scape, so far as all opposition is con-
cerned. 1t first slaughtered the profess
sional combination of Brady and Tel
lier. After that triumph it over
whelmed the crack New York team Of
Travers and Kirkby.
On Saturday the Bostonians COM
pleted the conquering march by beat
ing the Chicago combination of Evans
and Sawyer. And as all matches were
won by such wide margins, there was
no chance and no opening for any post
mortems of note.
In almost every one Of the Ouimet-
Guilford matches the turning point
was introduced by a sensational squirt
on the part CT Ouimet. Against
Travers and Kirkby, at Baltusrol, the
army golfer played the first five holes
in one under par. On Saturday he had
an uncanny spin on the last nine holes
OF the forenoon round, the jump giving
his team a six hole lead Once Ouimet
gets launched on one of these streaks
there is no chance of pulling him back.
He will bag hole after hole under par
until his opponent at last is completely
smothered.
Ask John G. Anderson about this
phase of his game. Once in the Mas
sachusetts championship Anderson had
Ouimet on the run. John G. was forg-
ing nicely to the front. Before he
knew just what had happened Ouimet
had played the next six holes in II
strokes, 1 under 3's. The best ball of
Vardon and Braid couldn't have checked
this streak.
Take e look at Saturdays turn
against Evans and Sawyer. For nine
holes the Eastern and Western teams
were all square. There was no sign of
a squall. And then on the last nine,
over one OF the hardest courses in
America. Ouimet suddenly fred this
eight-hole charge-4-3-4-3-
4-3-four under As for eight holes.
The one combination with a chance
to dethrone Ouimet and Guilford would
be Chick Evans and Bob Gardner, Chi
cago's crack team. Gardner is now in
the Officers Reserve Corps. at Fort
Sheridan, and so can't get away. As
Ouimet also is in the army, there will
be no chance for these combinations
TO meet until after the war. Then the
battle may be arranged.
Judging from all Boston reports.

+" CHEATING CHEATERS"
in DAWSON FRIDAY
BRILLIANT NEW YORK SUCCESS
WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE
NEW OPERA HOUSE.

There does not seem to be much
in common between Tagore, the Hin
du poet, and Cheating Cheaters'
the brilliant New York success which
comes to the New Opera House next
Friday, October 5, for an engage
ment of one night direct from a
years run at the Eltinge theater,
New York. But Miss Robinson, whose
performance of Nell Brockton has
contributed more than little to the
success of the play, is versatile
enough not only to play her part in
Cheating Cheaters" with distinction,
but to love and understand the Indian
mystic as WELL
To Miss Robinson the sensation of
reading Tagore after the hurly burly
OF Broadway is akin to that expert
enced by "stout Cortez" when he
gazed upon the Pacific from his peak
in Darien.
Everybody should read Tagore,"
advises Miss Robinson, with an i'm
partial and friendly faith in the pub
lie taste; especially we Americans. :"
And then follows the artistic apprais-
al of the American temperament.
"Fitful, mad, luxury blinded Ameri-
cans" Miss Robinson calls them, with
a vehemence borne of repose.
I'VE are consumed too much with
the material ambitions of the world, ("
continues Miss Robinson, land too
little concern with the finer aspira-
lions of life. We are straining after
the extrinsic trappings of mere bus
ines existence while the intrinsic
beauty of life itself is escaping us.
If simplicity is beauty and beauty is
simplicity what long, long way we
have yet to go here in America. And
what a gulf there is between a heavy
ambition and a lifting aspiration.
How barren the one, how fulfilling
the other. The one may lead to sue
cess, the other may lead to failure.
but the other always leads to fulfill

The Children of the Confederacy
at their first fall meeting held at the
Log Cabin club Saturday afternoon,
started off in very patriotic way
by spending a good part of the time
in making trench candles, nearly a
hundred being the result of their
combined efforts the first afternoon.
This is only one of the many avenues
of usefulness to be opened for them
by the resourceful directress, Mrs. G.
w. Dozier. A short business session
was held to get the chapter fully or
gained for the years work ahead.
