Fordham Eleven
Has Secret Drill

The first secret drill Of the year was
held at Fordham yesterday. Coach Nc
Gallery brought the players TO the new
field, adjoining Bronx Park. and the
student police guarded the gates.
No scrimmage was held. which is un-
usual for a Tuesday. The players,
however, had plenty of work In long
signal drill. which opened the offensive
drive for the Rutgers game on Satur-
day at Fordham Field.
The plays TO be used against Foster
Sanfords team were reheatsed. The
players showed plenty of snap, the for
nations being run off with smooth
ness and speed There was less FUN
bling in yesterday drill than has been
seen in long workout on the Maroon
gridiron in some time.
All of the scrub players were tried
out in the varsity lineup yesterday, as
only one team went through the sig
nails. McGrath got back into the game,
although Dempsey was still absent yes
terday.
Frisch ran through signals for a
while, and then was ordered of the
field. The Maroon star Is getting every
attention these days, in order that he
may be in condition for Saturdays
game.
The Fordham football management
had received no official notice last night
that Carlisle would play Boston College
on Thanksgiving Day. as was printed in
an afternoon newspaper Fordham has
been negotiating for some time for this
date. and Manager Delehanty wired the
Redskins on Monday afternoon to find
out if the Maroon terms had been ac-
cpDted

Rutgers Working Hard
For Game With Fordham

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Oct. %
With every man in good condition,
Rutgers Is pointing for the two hard
games with Fordham and West Viz
ginia.
Rutgers does not underestimate
Fordham, which last week won a de-
cided victory over Holy Cross. but all
who witnessed the decisive beating
that was handed out to Lafayette
were more than pleased with the work
Of the line, which piled up the OPP
posing backs every time they resort
ed to straight football.
Yesterdays practice was long and
hard, the first part Of the work out
being devoted to straight offence. The
varsity had little trouble in carrying
the ball through the college" line.
The backfeld is developing splendid
driving power, and that, with the i'm
provement of the line, makes pros
poets very bright.
The team will be put through more
hard scrimmage to-day. Rutgers has
come a long way for a team that has
but two seasoned players, and it will
go a good distance yet

Coach Metcalf
Sits Team for
Quarterback

Columbia's scrubs yesterday took
the field against the varsity with
some plays that were reputed to be a
foretaste Of the Williams scheme Of
offence on Saturday. In hard scrim-
mage, however, the first line men con-
sistently blocked the second teams
efforts.
The readjustments made necessary
by Howard Miller's withdrawal were
very plain yesterday. Several men
were tried out at his old position Of
quarter, but apparently Rosen and
Canapery are the two chiefly favored
candidates. If Rosen Is shifted to
play the pilot, as is thought most
probable, Healy will be his natural
successor in the backfeld. II Cana
perry should appeal more to Coach
Metcalf, Captain Cochran win likely
be moved from right end to the rear
guard and Sam Weinstein will come
into his place.
Metcalf has been carefully testing
Cochran's drop-hcking ability. Yes
terday, after the scrimmage, the cap
tain put his boot into the ball for
three clean kicks out Of four trials.
For scrimmage this afternoon the
Erasmus High boys are expected on
South Field. The freshmen are being
groomed up for their game at Hotch-
kiss on Saturday.

Boxing Mems and Notes

The death Of Bob Fitzsimmons, for
his weight the greatest ring fighter OF
all time, heightens the tragic pathos OF
the demise of another Antipodean SEN
sation, Les Darcy.
The cases Of the two were directly
opposite. Ruby Bob came unheralded
and unsung. He came penniless, at a
mature age, when most athletes are ex-
pected to have reached the zenith Of
their ability. But it was in America,
which received him coldly at first, that
the Australian blacksmith won fame
and fortune. he was q real fighter
one able TO trim the best of three
classes in the greatest fighting school
Of a century. Fitzsimmons, received
coldly, had but to receive the oppor-
tunity. Then he became the idol for all
time.
Poor Darcy came in greater state;
came with a modest fortune and her
aided as the wonder of the age. Amer
lea was mad to see him. Rich offers
were showered upon him. His was the
world for the asking.
But, unfortunately, Darcy fell among
bad advisers. The most talked Of man
In the sporting world, he listened TO
pictures Of fortune gained thro Ugh
ease. He was exploited as a theatrical
star, even though he had no stage per
sonality. His theatrical tour was a
bloomer. Down around his ears tum-
bled his mancion OF picture cards and
under IL Les was buried
Those who at first had idolized him
grew cold. He was criticised for not
fighting. His critics began TO take up
the cry Of Stacker" that had followed
him from Australia. The United States
entered the European war. Darcy be-
came more unpopular than ever. AT
last he tried to fight, but the Governor
of New York put up the bars on him.
Other states assumed the same atti-
tude. Friendless ard undefended, this
mere boy was so discouraged he quit on
himself and died Of broken heart.
Bob Fitzsimmons lived TO a fairly
ripe old age. He went out fighting the
Grim Reaper as he had fought Jem
Hall, Jack Dempsey, Gus Rubin, jim
Corbett, Jim Jeffries and all the rest.
What the ultimate fate Of Darcy might
have been had he come with Ruby
Rob's ripper experience or lack of finan-
cial independence no man can ever tell.

pute to join the army when the first

Yonkers Youth
Keeps Winning
In Tennis Tilt
Richards, of Yonkers, Works
Way Into Semi-F'inal
at Forest Hills

The championship lawn tennis tour
ney at Forest Hills for the tyro bril-
gade was continued yesterday. the
outstanding feature of the days play
being tho work of Vincent Richards,
the Yonkers phenom., and, incidentally,
the national boy champion.
Swinging his racquet with the ease
and precision Of veteran, he won his
way to the scmi-fnal Of the boys sin
giles, defeating NJ. Shapiro by the score
of GO, 90.
With a singing service the speed of
which mainly comes from his wrist, he
sends the ball on it's way with a fear
full twist and difficult break. His drop
shots were timed to a fraction, and
the base-line drives Of the brown
haired boy showed astounding accu-
racy.
Ills leg work, which Is the main as
set of all good players. cannot we'll be
improved upon, quality which Is rare
in a boy not yet sixteen.
Three other players gained the semi
final with Richards. They are c. Dom
aldson, Harold Maddocks, after three
hour match, and X. NJ. Walsh.
According to the wiseacres, the
dark 'un" of the junior class Is l.
Davidson, the Rockville Centre boy,
who only entered the tournament at
the last moment. He won his way to
the semi-fnal by disposing Of G. II.
Cooke by the tally of 60, GO.
G. B. Emerson, the crack doubles
player, showed splendid form by win
ming love match from Mills Stern by
the score of 60, Go.
Nine teams started play in the
junior doubles, the players being
drawn from both classes. One Of the
best tussles In the class was where
Richards, coupled with Abraham Bass
ford, Sd, won from Kynaston and Dom
aldson, and this sent the victors into
the semi-fnal round.
Two other doubles reached the semi
final round by default.

Cornell Oarsrnen
May Take a Rest

ITHACA, Oct. 23.-Assistant Coach
John Collyer Of the Cornell crews was
in the city over the week end discussing
the rowing situation at Cornell this
year. He will not remain here to aid
Coach Courtney in the fall practice, but
will be on hand when the spring work
commences.
1t is likely that fall practice for the
crews will be given up in the near fut-
ure. Coach Courtney had few varsity
and freshman oarsmen out on the wa
ter at the Cayuga Inlet Saturday, but
the number reporting for regular work
is not deemed sufficient to keep the
boathouse open any longer during the
cooler weather. II fall practice Is given
up now the candidates will be excused
from further work until December or
January, when machine drill will start
at the gymnasium.
That Cornell is In favor Of varsity
and freshman rowing schedules next
spring is shown in the negotiations
which the Cornell authorities have
opened with Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton regarding intercollegiate regattas
next May.

NY. U.FootbalI
Coach Uncovers
Find in Baker

New York University's football
team received another boost yester-
day, when Baker, crack basketball
guard and shortstop on the baseball
nine, appeared on the field in football
toys. He is built for smashing back,
and was placed at full.
Baker responded we'll to the signals
and tore big gaps through the scrub
line. In the end runs he demonstrated
his prowess even to a greater degree,
for when he put on speed 1t was ex-
ceedingly difficult for any scrub man
to keep up with him, much less to
tackle him.
Coach Wall got late start with his
practice, but kept up stiff scrim-
mage until it was necessary to prac-
tise under the arc light attached TO the
gym corner. All energies were con-
centrated upon perfecting the signals
and the various plays.
Special attention was given TO each
man, particularly the linemen, who
were drilled both on the defensive
and the offensive. Improvement was
noticed over last Saturday.
