Erasmus Hall High Leads
In Long Run for SchoolbQyS

'Cross-country running is evidently
gaining in popularity among Brooklyn
schoolboys, judging by the large field
of forty-fve which competed in tri-
angular race with Boys High, Manual
Training and Erasmus Hall as the con-
tenders over the stiff course in Pros
pect Park, Brooklyn, yesterday. This
trail is most difficult for schoolboys
to traverse, as it contains several steep
hills and much rough ground. In spite
of the vast amount of stamina re-
quired to cover this course, not one OF
the starters faltered.
The representatives of Erasmus Hall
High School usurped all the leading
positions. Their total of 13 points
gave them the team honors by big
margin Manual Training followed in
second position, with al points, while
Boys High School was far outdis-
tanced, with 81 points.

tance of three and one quarter miles
in 1884, Snow being one second be-
hind Rick and Carty one second behind

Dickinson High
In Close Game

Dewitt Clinton for the first time in
several years succeeded in defeating
Dickinson High School, OF Jersey City;
in their annual football game at Horace
Mann Field yesterday morning. The
score was ~ to z.
Both elevcns put up strong de-
fence, particularly Dickinson. Clintons
ctfense, led by Roy Isenberg, the quar-
ter back and captain. finally broke
down this stone wall resistance, two
touchdowns resulting. Open football
was attempted by each team, Clinton's
efforts with the forward pass at times
netting substantial gains.
Clinton scored in the third quarter
Dickinson fumbled and Bernstein re-
covered the bali for Clinton on the
latter's thirty-yard line. A forward
pass and several end runs paved the
way for Danny to run twenty yards
for a Clinton touchdown.
Clinton's other touchdown came early
in the fourth quarter, when Friedlander
scored. rhe Clinton defence, weakened
by many substitutons, cracked with
only five minutes to play, with the re-
suit thai Dickinson scored a touchdown
on straight line plays. Russell kicked

Norway Victory Big
Surprise in Soccer

Although the war has so greatly in
terfered with international football
contests in belligerent countries, the
Scandinavian nations. who are num-
bered among the few neutrals in Eu-
rope, have been playing a series of
games, the results of which have just
reached the United States. The first
match was between Denmark and
Sweden at Copenhagen, the Danes win
ming by to 0.
Sweden was more successful in its
second game. Its team opposed Norway
at Stockholm. and won by to O.. 1t
was the match between Norway and
Denmark at Christiania that provided
the greatest surprise in international
contests between Scandinavian coun-
tries. The Norway men had previously
played twenty international games
without having credited themselves
with a victory, and il. was not antici-
pated that they would gain their first
triumph at the expense of one of the
strongest continental national teams.
But the Danes, much to their own sur

In contrast to the fine showing of
the Poly boys, who we're playing their

catch the ball, and his blunders alone
gave Poly almost half its points.

back wildly, giving Poly chances to
score two safeties and touchdown.
The sight of the Commerce players
floundering around must have been
hard to bear for Sampson, the fullback.

game.
Scholtz, the Poly fullback, proved
such battering ram that it required
several Commerce tacklers to bring
him to earth. His charges against the
line always netted substantial gains,
and he alone scored three touchdowns.
Carpenter, the halfback, was uncanny
IN finding holes, and was an elusive
open field runner. Lott and Jellitfe

One of Gcrbick's fumbles gave Poly

Bronder, Of Poly, punted from Com

Defeats Navy
At Columbia
Forward Pass Accounts for
Only Score in First
Game of Season
By Charles A. Taylor

Columbia had its first football game
OF the season yesterday. The teams
which played were chosen from the
second battalion and the naval unit,
the army boys winning by score OF
to 0. Rain fell heavily throughout
the game and the youngsters had lots
Of trouble hanging on to the ball, but
the spirit they showed under the ad-
verse conditions won the praise Of
Head Coach Dawson.
There were fifty men anxious to get
into the fray. They waited along the
sidelines in the downpour without max
a whimper. and when their chance
came plunged into the tussle with
loads Of vim and enthusiasm. A big
crowd of students also defied the bad
weather and watched the contest from
beginning to end. One Columbia grad
remarked that this scrub game had
attracted larger number of specta-
tors than many of the regular con-
tests in former years.
The only score of the game came
near the close Of the first period
after the army lads had worked the
ball from the centre of the field down
to the twenty-yard line. Two plunges
at tackle by Solomon and De Franc
tailed to gain, and then Donohue. the
army quarterback, hurled q forward
pass. which was neatly caught by
Grossman. who raced fifteen yards for
touchdown. Urls essayed to kick
goal, but the ball was so slippery that
he missed an easy chance
In the second period Dawson nut
several new men into the navby line
up, and there was marked difference
IN their play from then on. Amonr
the newcomers TO catch the approving
eye of the coach was Forsvthe. who
until yesterday had been used at tackl.
and guard. Dawson sent him in left
halfback. and the way he ripped up
the army forward was q caution. He
also displayed considerable cleverness
IN dashes around the end. and it ap-
pears will make strong bid for
post on the first eleven.
Another player who stood out above
his fellows was Kenninger. the army
right guard. 1t was chiefly due to
MS sterling defensive play in the third
period that touchdown by the sailor.

Three New Marks Set by
Professional Who Beats
Kirkby and Anderson

Jack Hobens did all kinds of stunts
at the Knickerbocker Country Club
yesterday He made a new nine-hole
record for the first nine holes, a new
record fer the second nine, and
smashed the record for the course,
which was rs, jointly held by Oswald
Kirkby and Willis Collins, the clubs
professional, establishing new record
OF 72, in defeating Kirkby and Ander
son by 1 up.
Neither Jerome D. Travers. Upper
Montclair Country, nor Max r. Mars
ton, Baltusrol, was able to play yes
terday on account of sickness, and the
vacancy was filled by Jack Hobens, the
Englcwood Country Club professional,
and II. Cocks, an amateur member of
that club.
John G. Anderson, SiWanoy, and Os-
wald kirkby, Englewood, were both
there with flying colors. In fact, the
very first hole, Of 379 yards, was won
by kirkby in 3, the others getting down
in the par of f.
The 45O-yard second hole was
stroke under par, the other two getting
displayed on the third hole, of 37S
yards, as Hobens, Kirkby and Ander-
son each made the hole in g, which is
one stroke under par.
: Hobens and Cox squared the match
on the fourth hole, which they won in
4 to 5. Hobens seemed to be out for
blood. as he made a fierce struggle to
secure the lead. His on the fifth was
useless, as Anderson also landed s.
His time came, however, on the sixth
hole, which he won in S to g.
The seventh hole, Of 367 yards, was
halved by all four in the part OF 4.
Jack Hobens again displayed his abil
ity on the eighth hole, of 430 yards,
which he won in 3, two strokes under
par, the other three getting down in 4,
one stroke under par.
This increased Hobens's lead TO up.
The ninth hole, of 425 yards, was won
by Anderson in the par of A, which left
him and kirkby | down at the turn.
Anderson and Kirkby started on their
second nine holes l down, and they did
their utmost TO break away from their
opponents. Their best effort on the
first hole was half in 4.
Hobens grabbed the second and third
holes in and 4, respectively. He was
then up.
The fourth hole was halved in 3,
and the fifth and sixth were won by
Anderson and Kirkby in and 8, re-
spectiveiy. The seventh was halved,
and the eighth was won by Hobens in
g. Kirkby won the ninth, with a 4,
which brought the match to an end,
with Hobens winning by up.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

Fred "Ferocious" Fulton, who was a
pupil of Jack Dempsey's for just short
OF seventeen seconds at the Harrison
Bail Park, in Newark, several weeks
ago, is evidently an apt pupil, for he
has just applied for position as
civilian boxing instructor at the Avia-
ton Mechanics School in the West.
Until Fred met Dempsey in the New
ark ring he made no attempt to pose
as an instructor in the gentle art of
slam. but Dempsey taught the Pre-
coclous Piasterer SO much in those few
seconds before "Ferocious" went to
sleep for the ten count, that Fred now
believes he will be able to teach Uncle
Sans fiiers just how to knocl, all the
lining out of the kaiser's sauerkraut
wrestlers. If our boys in khaki treat
the Huns half as roughly as Jack
treated Fred in that first round, the
war will soon be over.
