Columbia Finds
A Worthy Foe
In School Boys
Yonkers High Football Team
Makes Three First
Downs in Jify

With the second most important
game of the season facing them on this
coming Saturday and the biggest con-
fict Of all due on the oath, Columbia's
eleven went into practice yesterday as
sured that three Of its most reliable
men were definitely in the discard.
Besides Cochran and Rosen, it seems
certain now that Houlihan, of the back
field trio, will not be sufficiently over
his staleness to play against Wesleyan
Saturday, and Memmott is being trained
for the fullback position, where Cana
perry and Shaw will flank him.
Weinstein, Rosens substitute at
quarterback, will have a chance to re-
peat his first class work in that capac-
ity. Both Memmott and Weinstein
have done we'll in their substitute
berths. Weinstein's generalship against
Hobart was highly appreciated, and
Memmott was the best Individual
scorer of that contest.
Yesterdays scrimmage was held
against the unusually heavy line Of the
Yonkers High School team. The high
school boys early showed up the weak
ness of the Columbia line by scoring
three first downs, but the college men
rallied and finally tore through their
opponents defence and round the end
for generous gains.
As a prelude to the Wesleyan var
sity contest on Saturday, the freshmen
of the two institutions meet for
game of their own on South Field to-
morrow afternoon.

Violet Cubs Aid VARSITY
For Game With Stevens

touches to their camoufage plays all
of yesterday afternoon in preparation
for the invaders, whose scouts were no.
ticed within the lines on Saturday.
Tackling, falling on the ball and
sprinting practice al! were INDUCED in,
and then sub-calibre practice with the
scrub closed the days work. The at
tack OF the first line men left gaping
holes in the ranks of the less expert
enced seconds, and the trenches Of the
latter were successfully stormed on
many occasions. The aerial attack was
especially severe. and Carlson, the ace
of the flying division, caused great
casualties in the forces of the little
red army
Major Goodsle, however, was again
wounded in the leg. and returned TO
the base hospital for hot water and
alcohol and laying on Of hands, so that
he witnessed the latter part OF the en-.
gagement from the side lines.
FoEd's heavy artillery landed with
telling effect and carried the advance
far into the opponents territory, and
when the sun dropped behind the Pail
sades the forces were both glad of the
evenings rest in store.

the winning touchdown. Yet against
Pitt Straus proved, If necessary, he
could 90 il alone. He tore up the Pan

New York University's football squad
was put through one Of the hardest
workouts Of the season yesterday after
room on Ohio Field, in preparation for
the Stevens game at Hoboken Saturday.
Coach Wall lined the varsity against
the strong freshman eleven, thereby
doing two things at once-preparing the
freshmen for their trip to West FONT
Friday to play the Plebes and training
the regular Violet representatives.
The men were warmed up by short.
snappy signal drill and then put on the
defensive against the. freshmen. The
defensive serimmage was given 10 i'm

which has proven TO be weak point IN
the tight places. In play within the
ten-yard line the freshmen rehearssd
their aerial system in order TO give the
varsity practice on the defensive. The
cubs demonstrated their ability by put
ting the ball over the line via the air
route at an average of two out Of every
five times.
Ben Christopher, who has been on
the injured list since the Trinity game
on Election Day with fractured bone
in his foot, appeared on the field in
football toys yesterday.

New Player Gets
Chance at End
On Cornell Team

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. I4.-The Cornell
varsity started out with renewed cour-
age to-day, after it's overwhelming de-
feat last Saturday. Nethercott and
Cross were in good form, and mostly
through their efforts the varsity scored
three touchdowns in thirty minutes on
the scrubs.
Pendleton was back at fullback after
his lay-of with his injuries, and showed
lots Of pep" A new man was noticed
in the lineup when Spiegelberg trotted
out 10 right end in place of Harris.
Spiegelberg formerly was a sub centre,
but ne showed up so well in to-day's
practice that it is probable he will
get chance TO make good there, He
is speedy and has the strength.
Ackerknecht was not in his place at
left tackle, as he is suffering from in
juries, but it is hoped ne will be in
condition to play Saturday. s. Trow-
bridge was still at centre, and Swan
son held down the left guard position.

Cochran Increases
Lead at Billiards

Welker Cochran, the Chicago boy
billiardist. won the third game from
Leonard Howison in their special
match at 1872 balkline billiards last
night. The score was 400 to 2O2 and
Cochran thus increased his advantage
in the three nights play to 27s points.
The grand totals now read, Cochran
1900; Howison, 922.
The boy gained much of his winning
lead during the early innings. Through
spectacular open table work, dazzling
masse shots and fine nursing he man
aged to return double figures IN -FOUR
of the first five innings. At this point
the score read 1876 for Cochran and 40
for Howison. However, Howison showed
a slight improvement thereafter. ,
Cochran averaged q l-l9 and hao
high runs of rs. IS and 43. Howison,s
three best innings were ST. "a and "a,
while his average was II 4-lo.

has been defeated by Georgia Tech and
the Pittsburgh Panthers.
Bob Folwell has developed one OF
the strongest teams in the East, but
its most urgent admirer would not pre-
sumo to claim the Eastern champion
ship for 1t, even counting Pittsburgh
Of the West.
Another Great Machine
In spite Of this, next Saturdays
game should be corker. Critics like
Eckersall, Bachelor and Sullivan, of the
West, say his 1917 machine is one OF
the greatest Yost ever has coached. IL
won a game il was not picked to win
three weeks ago when IL defeated Ne
braska 20 to 0. The odds were 10 to
against the Wolverines and little Mich
igan money in sight.
Since the Yost's men have been
football fools" slashing Kalamazoo TO
shreds and walking over Al Sharpe's
Cornell team TO the unprecedented tune
of AZ TO 0.
The indications are that the Ann Ar
Dor eleven is a team phantom footed in
its swiftness, with more than an aver
age ability in the important matter Of
handling the forward pass. Weston,
quarterback, is to the 1917 machine al
most what Heston was TO that Of 1902.
At tossing and receiving and inIopen
field running he is said TO be the great
est quarterback discovered this season.
Walter Eckersall, himself the most
brilliant quarter who ever played in
the West, is our authority on Weston.
Among other heroics of last Saturday
he intercepted Cornell forward pass
on Michigan's 25-yard line and ran
straight through the entire Ithacan
delegation for a touchdown.
Weimann, at fullback, with Sparks
and Hanish at either eide, completes
the backfeld that has not yet failed to
penetrate any defence at which il has
been aimed Michigan has a balanced
line, with two fast ends in Goetz and
Boyd, while Goodsell and Weske,
tackles, have been shooting holes
through those lines they have faced.
In Pennsylvania Michigan will meet
a peculiar eleven. At its best no team
in the world could beat Folwell's men
by more than two touchdowns. On an
off day or in feeting moments its play
is almost amateur.
A Light Line
To US the marvel of the season is
the Pennsylvania line. 1t weighs only
175 pounds to the man, yet no offensive,
however powerful, has been able to
gain consistently through it. The bull
like McLaren, OF Pittsburgh, threw
himself constantly at the l75-pound
line, only to be stopped short when
danger threatened.
Last Saturday the Dartmouth backs
plunged at and battered the little line
and succeeded in making only one
first down through it in the entire first
half. We should like 20 know what
lines of equal poundage in the history
of the game have done better. Captain
Miller, Wray, Dieter, Cleary and May
nard have developed defence that is
football wizardy.
Captain Miller takes longer chances
in going behind an opponents line in

The City Island sailors took the Cow
