Fordhann Nine
Starts Season
On rip South

Fordham University's collegiate base
week. On Thursday the Maroons will
baltimore in the opening tilt of the
Navy at Annapolis. Another exhibi-
tion game will be played on Tuesday
with the InEr-Seals. Friday is an
open date.
The Maroon management announced
yesterday the addition of one game to
the schedule. West Virginia, which
probably will meet the Bronx men on
the gridiron next season, will be
played on May at Fordham Field
The first home game is the Columbia
clash on April 10.
The Fordham team, although lacking
the experience that can be gained only
through regular contests, has had the
benefit of outdoor practice for two
weeks, an advantage that has not been
had at the start of the season by many
Fordham mines. The material is young,
and it is expected that strong improve
mont will be made as the campaign ad-
vances
Four games were added to the sched-
ule last week, which brings the list up
to twenty-one, exclusive of the two ex-
hibition games. This is quite q for
midable schedule, but the Maroon
management still has two open dates
which probably will be filled this week
When these dates are closed the sched-
ule will be as large as any that Ma
room nine has been called to face in
recent years.

Penn State to
Lose Five Mat
Champions Soon

STATE COLLEGE, Penn, March 80.
With record of only four defeats
in the last nine years, Pennsylvania
States wrestling team this week
closed the 1918 season with it's de-
cisive victory in the Intercollegiate
championships at New York.
In its first appearance in the cham
pionship tournament the State College
team captured six of the seven bouts.
Three events were won on decisions
and three on clean falls. Owing to an
injury to Detar, 30, the 125-pound
representative, State did not compete
in that class. Since Detar had won all
his bouts this year and two weeks pre-
viously had defeated Devier. of Lehigh,
who took the I25-pound class honors.
State believes the Blue and White team
would have made clean sweep of the
championship classic had Detar been
able to again meet the Lehgh man.
The Penn State grapplers have not
been defeated IN the last two years.
Ten dual meets with the leading col
lege wrestlers of the East have been
the season just closed States matmen
scored two victories over Cornell,
champions for the last six years. The
Navy, for the second time in as many
years, was submerged by State. Le
highs team also was vanquished.
Five of States intercollegiate cham
plons completed their college wrestling
careers this year. They will be grad
uated next month, when the college
closes early to release the Undergrad
yates for war work. The men lost are
Horst, 115-pound class; Captain Long.
135-pound class; Shultz, 145-pound
class; Nelan, l75-pound class. and
Czarnecki. the heavyweight class.
Two men-Brown, the 15S-pound
champion, and Captain elect Detar. go,
the -pounder-will be. available next
season. Spangler, 30, a 175-pound
man. who was forced to quit the mat
game this year by reason of an in
jury, and CARRIER are two likely candi-
dates for championship honors next
year
To Howard c. Yerger, jr., the wrest-
ling coach. who is Penn State grad
uate of the Class of 1915, goes the bulk
of the credit for championship honors.
Yerger made high record as a crap
pier in the 15S-pound class during his
undergraduate days at State College.
He built the team Of seven men around
nucleus of three veterans and
coached il to the championship in his
hrst experience as wrestling mentor

Inc most important Of recent addi-
tlons to the Paulist track material was
that of Eddie Garvey, the rangy dis
tance runner. Garvey spent MANY
years with other clubs around the dis
trict. but with his entrance into the
Paullst enclosure he immediately be-
came champion. He recently cap
tuned the senior indoor Metropolitan
Association championship and one week
,later' defeated the best of Americas
two-n1 lie men for the senior indoor ma
tional honors.
Garvey is an athlete of the deter
mined type, chock full of stamina, and
one who never admits defeat until the
tape is reached. He can follow, the
fastest of pace ana his years of ex-
periencc have enabled him to make the
most use of his speed. His most Cruel
ling victory Of the past season came in
the senior MET" title run when he
bested Nick Gianakopulos and Charles
Pores in nip and tuck race that made
history.

If the Stevens baseball team is not as

The engineers will have q strong de-

AS for the women's swim, it may be
granted to Miss Olga Dorfner. of the
