To Be Shaken
By Big Drive
Fund of $l70,OO0,000 Will
Be Raised for Soldiers
and Sailors
By Charles A. Taylor

The biggest programme of sports
ever mapped out in the United States
was drawn up last night at the Yale
Club by old-timc athletes representing
every section of the country. The
mcyement bears the name of the United
War Work Campaign, and has for its
goal the raising of s170,000,000 for the
against the hosts of Kaiserdom.
In anticipation of the fact that our
armies may be obliged to remain in
Europe for two years or more, it is
planned to accumulate sufficient funds
to insure the boys in khaki their fill
of entertainment and recreation. 1t is
a campaign to preserve the morale of
our army and navy, no matter what
the Coming months may bring forth in
the way Of disbursement
Every sport with the exception OF
tennis is to be lined up in this drive
and every town and hamlet is to have
Gn opportunity to contribute it's share
toward making the campaign success.
The "big week" will be from November
II to November Is, when every football
team in the country will be called upon
to play one game the proceeds of which
shall be devoted exclusively to the
fund The drive, however, is not to
be restricted to this one week. Just
as soon as the Liberty Loan campaign
ends the sport campaign will get under
way.
Football, Of course, is expected to be the
main source of revenue, and schedule
is being drawn up which will bring to-
gether the best teams of the country
before the snow flies New York will
have some of these star contests and
grdiron season which seemed
destined to be Olivier" bids fair to
develop into a GUNNER" The COM
mittee in charge will announce some of
its plans for these big football games
to-day, following a conference in the
Office of Big Bill Edwards, Collector of
the Port.
Boxing, billiards, soccer and golf are
all to join in the campaign. James w.
Coffroth, the California boxing pro-
moter, will arrive here on Sunday to
take full charge of the boxing pro-
gramme, the idea being to have every
large city put on a mammoth show
his cue for the good cause, while Cor
nelius j. Sullivan will take the helm in
the golfng world.
Those who attended the meeting last
night were William S. Langford, of
Trinity; William H. Edwards, William
W. Roper and Parke Davis, of Prince
ton; William F. Gracelon, of Harvard;
Brink Thorne, of Yale, and John C.
Bell, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania.

Mason Named
Football
At New York i,

A. A. Mason, who, for the last few
years, has been football coach at Stuy-
vesant High School, has been chosen
to take charge of the gridiron squad at
New York University. Mason played
three years on the Tulane University
eleven and for the same length of
time was member of the Springfield
Y. M. c. A. college team. The new
coach began work at University
Heights yesterday afternoon, and
found one hundred and fifty soldier
students awaiting his instruction.
The only veterans remaining are /:
Baker, fullback; Christopher, half
back; Fernandez, tackle. and Sultzer,
guard. This means that Mason will
have to develop practically new team.
He has the material, but his time is
short as N. Y. U. is scheduled to play
Stevens on November 2. This date was
arranged yesterday. A week later it
is expected that Fordham will line up
against the Violet. On November 16
the N. Y. U. team will go to Maryland
to play Maryland State. This will be
the only out-of-town contest. The
annual tussle with Columbia is set
for November 23.

Racegoers Add $4,000
To Liberty Loan Drive

Racegoers continued their Liberty
Loan drive at the Empire City track
yesterday. The subscriptions came in
thick and fast when E. J. Ryan and
Jack Adler sent out the call from the
steps Of the grandstand, and in a few
minutes S25,000 was added to the fund.
This brought the grand total for the
Grive to $1,775,000, and made it appar-
ent that it would go to an even $4,000
900 before the end of the drive.
E. j. Callahan, who not only has led
in the work of soliciting subscriptions,
but also has been one of the most con-
slant subscribers, headed the list fol
the day with $4,000. This was the fifth
time he has taken large amounts, and
ne was cheered to the echo. Another
liberal subscriber was Charles Sayles
who took 81 500 worth.
As the total for the. day approached d
the desired $4,000 mark Frank Eaves
responded again and again with bids OF
$500 until his total for the day hac
reached $4,000. C. Klecker took S1,2Ol

NEWPORT. R. l., Oct 15.-Fred
Walker, who has just succeeded DR..
Billy Bull as athletic director in the
Second Navy District, has offered Bos-
ton College the second game of the
season here on Saturday. Two games
which were scheduled by the Newport
team were cancelled because of the
epidemic of influenza. Walkers play
ers won by single score from Spring
field College in the opening game
Aside from the station team, Walker
has dozen regimental and other unit
elevens in process of organization, and
more football will be played in the
Second District than has seemed pos
sible before. In a practice game the
station team last Saturday defeated
the Camp Oman Reserve team, four
touchdowns to nothing. The game
was played on the Vanderbilt Farm,
where Camp Oman is located.
Walker has just shifted Young

plunger gives promise of developing
into another Ted Coy. Walker him

halfback, was a plunging back of this
kind
The Newport team has just arranged
to meet the Annapolis Naval eleven at
Annapolis, October 26. This game be-
