price of S178.40 for the Maryland racing

F eature of Practice
On F ordham Criidiiron

The Fordham University S. A. r. G.
football squad held it's anal scrim-
mage in preparation for the George
town game yesterday afternoon. Every
man was in uniform and all were
fighting for place in the first lineup
that will face the Southerners on
Thanksgiving Day.
Several changes have been made.
In order to strengthen the middle of
the line, Matty Golden. last years
star centre. has been shifted from the
backfield to his old position, and Wal
ters, who has been showing UP we'll
of late, will most likely hold down
left guard. Mahoney has entirely re-
covered from his injuries and will re-
turn to his position at left tackle.
Captain Frisch has also recovered from
his ailment, and showed his usual
speed esterday.
During the practice most of the
time was devoted to the solving Of
Georgetown formations, used by the
scrubs. The varsity linemen charged
hard and invar ably broke UP these
plays before the runner had a chance
to get started
On the offensive the Maroon eleven
worked like well-oiled machine.
Several long runs by Frisch and Manlv

Coach DazUsOn Shakes U7b
Columbia Football Team
Canapery Replaces Shaw and
kinninger Goes to Centre
Of for, Syracuse To-day
By Charles A. Taylor

Fred Dawson, head coach Of the Co.
lumbia football team, gave his lineup
a thorough overhauling yesterday
afternoon as result of the poor show
ing made in the game with New York
University last Saturday and in prep
aration for the battle with Syracuse
on Thanksgiving Day. The most start
ling changes were the relegation Of
Charley Shaw, the speedy halfback,
to the second team and the replacing
of Fargo at centre with Kinninger.
The demotion of Shaw was due to
his frequent fumbling in the games so
far played and to his weakness in
handling punts. He will give way to
Canapery, who has been distinguishing
himself recently by the ability he has
shown as line plunger. Shaw's forte
was in open field running.
Of course, the chances are that Shaw
will get into the Thanksgiving Day
contest at some stage of the proceed
ings or other, but according to Daw-
sons present plans Canapery will be
the man to start at left halfback
An Unexpected Slump
Fargo, like Shaw, has been playing
regularly since he reported for the
team, and considering the fact that he
had had little previous experience at
centre he did we'll until the last two
or three games, when his passing and
tackling fell off.
Kinninger, who has been playing at
guard, is Dawson's choice for the snap
back position. This player, although
not so heavy as Fargo, is a much bet
ter tackler and seemingly is just as
good at passing the ball.
The work yesterday consisted of a
long signal drill and a protracted re-
hearsal of the new formations which
will be brought into play against syra-
cuse Houlahan did considerable punt
ing. while Stevens was drilled in goal
kicking.
The Columbia squad will leave this
morning for the Salt City OH the En-
pire State Express and will have a
final workout in the Syracuse Stadium
this afternoon. Twenty-six players
will be in the party, which will aleo
include I.evering Tyson, graduate man
ager of athletics at Columbia, and
Charles II. Mapes, of the university
alumni advisory committee.
The probable lineup Of the Blue AMI
White will be:
Left end, Grace; left tackle. Robi-
son; left guard, Mordaelli centre,
Kinninger; right guard. Parks; right
tackle, Tower; right end, Stevens;
quarterback, Robb; left halfback
Canapery, right halfback. Collins;
fullback, Houlahan.

Russia and the United States.

The old autocratic government of
Russia was always particularly friend
ly to the United States. During the
Revolutionary war Russia offered to
mediate for peace and her offer was
accepted by the United States but de-
clined by Great Britain. Russia was
one of the first governments to recog-
nize the independence Of the United
States and continued to show her good
VIII by making treaties of amity and
commerce with the United States. Sew
eral Of our early presidents in their
messages referred to "the continued
friendship Of Russia" In 1923. Rus
STA proposed a friendly adjustment
through diplomatic channels of the
boundary line between American and
Russian possessions in the Northwest
ana President Monroe authorized the
United States minister to Russia to at
tend to the matter. In doing so he
said: 1.-THE government of the United
States has been DESTROYS by this friend
ly proceeding to manifest the great
value which they have invariably at
tached to the friendship of Russia and
their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with that government"

GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS
Experiments Have Shown These Pro-
duce the Same Effect as the
Light of the Sun.

It is well known that glass exposed
for long to sunlight acquires q violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south are often distinctly vio-
let Experiments recently made in the
laboratories of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass in many cOlors, principally an
amethystine violet and an amber yell
low, but also green and bright yellow.
These colors, according to Mr.. Ro-
senthal, who conducted the expert
ments, are due TO notifications of the
physical structure Of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from a mere surface tint to
complete coloration of the entire sub.
stance. And the same method ear be
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass that has been colored
by long exposure to X-rays is that it
becomes impervious to the radiationS
that have transformed it. Thus it can
be used as a protection against the
glare of the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.
