By Charles A. Taylor

good-sized portion of football will
be served New Workers to- day along
with their turkey. In fact so many
games are scheduled for the various
gridirons throughout the greater city
that it will be possible for the football
lover to see contest as soon as he
has downed his breakfast, go home for
luncheon or dinner, which ever the
boss Of the household has arranged for
midday, and then after swallowing his
desert beat it again to a field where
another battle between two elevens is
being waged.
More than that the old "dyed-in-t the
wooler," if he has a liking for the
schoolboy brand Of football. can take
in triple header and still get home
in season to have a fairly early
Thanksgiving feast.
The chief attraction OF the day will
be the game between Fordham and
Georgetown at Fordhaq Field in The
Bronx This contest will decide the
championship among the Catholic col
leges of the East and should be a real
sizzler from start to finish.
Two Defeats Excusable
Fordham has a fair record for the
season, having defeated Boston Col
lege, which gave Harvard hard battle
last Saturday, and New York Univer-
sity. The elevens from the Receiving
Ship Granite State and from Camp
Merritt both triumphed over the
Maroon, but these teams were COM
posed Of much older and heavier men
than Fordham will be called upon to
face to-day. Furthermore in the game
with Camp Merritt Captain Frisch, the
star of the Maroon combination, was
missing from the lineup.
AS for Georgetown, this eleven has
played fewer games than usual but has
succeeded in keeping its slate clean IN
the two or three contests with other
Southern colleges.
The lineup for the game, which
starts at $3.50 p. M, was announced last
night as follows:
Fordham - Left End, Garvey; Left
Tackle, Mahony; Left Guard, Walters;
Centre, Van Vie; Right Guard, Rose;
Right Tackle, Harrington or Harden;
Right End, Corsello; Quarterback,
Manly or Barnes; Lett Hal16acK'
Frisch; Right Halfback, Golden; Full
Georgetown-Left End, Zazelli: Left
Tackle, Ahearn; Left Guard, Gogn;
Centre, Heaply; Right Guard, Flaherty;
Right Tackle, Moran; Right End, Reid;
Quarterback, Hampston; Left Halfback,
Corbin; right Ha.fback, Flacin; Full
back, Buckley.
Four service elcvens will be seen in
action during the course of the day.
In the morning at 10:3O at Travers
Island, Pelham Bay will meet the team
from Fort Slocum, while in the after
noon at o'clock at the City College
Stadium, Brooklyn Navy Yard and
Camp Dix will clash.
The Navy Yard and Camp Dix teams
comprise several former college stars
and both have had the benefit of expert
coaching. The sailors have been under
the tuteage of Carl Flanders, the old
Yale player, and Phil King, the famous
Princeton end. Captain Pat Murphy
athletic director at Camp Dix, and
Lieutenant w. H. Tucker, have in
structed the soldiers in the fine points
of the game.
Columbia Plays Upstate
Also of interest to Gothamites will
he the contest between Columbia and
Syracuse at the Salt City. This will
be the first game the Blue and White
have played away from home since the
restoration of football at Columbia in
1915, and a large band of alumni left
the city last night to watch the battle.
Columbia has had the services of
Fred Dawson, the former Princeton
star, as coach, and has swept through
it's schedule so far without meeting
defeat Among the victims of the Blue
and White have been Camp Merritt,
Amherst, Wesleyan, Union and New
York University.
In Syracuse the local eleven will face
its hardest test of the season. The up
ctaters have defeated Dartmouth by a
big score and a few smaller college
aegregations, but they received n
severe setback two weeks ago at the
hands of the University Of Michigan
eleven. Syracuse will greatly outweigh
Columbia, but the supporters of the
/ Blue and White are counting on the
speed Of Dawson's eleven to more than
Offset this advantage.
PHILADELPHIA will be the scene Of the
annual struggle between the University
CT Pennsylvania and Dartmouth Of the
two teams Penn has made much the
better showing, despite it's defeat by
the Pittsburgh Panthers. Dartmouth,
in addition to falling before Syracuse,
was soundly trounced last Saturday by
Brown.
At Pittsburgh the team which
humblcd Georgia Tech will oppose its
old rival, Penn State, and Glen War
ner's men should have little trouble in
! chalking w another victory.
