Ed Siskind Drilling
Fordham for Games
With St. John S Boys

Although the Fordham University
S. A. T. c. team came out of the fray
with the U. S. S. Granite State some
what battered, Coach Eddie Siskind
drove his charges to the limit yester~
day afternoon in preparation for the
game with St. Johns College of Brook
lyn, tomorrow. After half an hour
Of snappy signal drill the varsity
lined up against the Prep in the livell-
est scrimmage held this season. A
great Improvement by the line in open
ing holes was exhibited. The backfield
also displayed better form than on any
previous occasion.
The eleven. although young, pos
sesses the potential power to become q
real factor in the coming games. This
was evident during the game al inst
the navy men on Wednesday, when
although outweighed by at least twenty
pounds to a man, the Fordham team
on several occasions rushed its heavier
opponents back to the shadows of the
goal posts.
Coach Siskind is now priming his
men for the St. Johns game tomorrow
afternoon. The same lineup that
started on Wednesday will most likely
face the team from across the bridge,
This game holds special interest be-
cause of the fact that it is the first
meeting on the gridiron Of these two
institutions

Only Twenty Teams
In Six-Day Race

The number of teams to compete in
the international six-day bicycle race
at Madison Square Garden the week of
December ! to will be decided at q
meeting in Newark on Sunday. At this
session the promoters will confer with
a joint committee of the National AS
sociation and six-day riders. Definite
rules to govern the race also will be
decided upon.
Twenty teams probably will be the
limit placed on the entries. The riders
have made this request and are backed
up by the national body which controls
the sport in this country. The con-
testants offer sound argument for
demanding q limited entry. They con-
tend that in q race in hieh there is to
be Sc much sprinting a is planned this
year the riders are in great danger Of
spills if the track is overcrowded.

Exterminator Loses in Head
Finish in ST., 500 National
Handicap

BALTIMORE, Oct 31.-In the best
race Of the meeting Midway oeat Ex-
terminator head in a driving Gnish
for the National Handicap, worth
$4,000, at the Laurel track to- day The
struggle was nip-and-tuck affair for
the last six furlongs Of the mile and
q furlong route.
1t was a fitting climax for the last
day of the Laurel meeting. But for
the Spanish influenza, which cut down
the meeting from twenty-seven to six
teen days, there would have been the
best meeting in the history of the
track.
Midway, Exterminator and Tombolo
were the only contestants for the event
Of the programme, Rain last night
spoiled the track and made il heavy.
Midway and Exterminator ar proven
bial mud larks, the latter sht wing his
quality in that kind of going by win
ming the Kentucky Derby last spring
Exterminator should have won to-
day. but Thurbcr, on Midway, caught
Knapp mapping on the backstretch and
slipped through an opening next the
rail. This proved to be the winning
advantage, for the horses raced nose
and nose to the finish, Midway winning
on the post by few inches. If Knapp
had forced Midway to go around Ex-
terminator the Derby winner would
have earned the judges decision.
Rumor has it that Richard Carman

rms point was made quite clear at
the University Club last evening, when
Herbert l.. Pratt, chairman, and ". W.

Committee conferred with the sport
ing writer's of the local newspapers as
to ways and means of stimulating the
sports drive. Mr. Rocer as spokes.

committees side uf the case, and was
assured heartiest cooperation on the
part of the writer's.
The National Sports Committee, of
course, will act only in an advisory
sport will be left to the individual
committees IN charge of the various
cities where the respective sports will
be put on. In this way, it is believed.
sectional prejudices, jealousies and
scruples will be minimized.
In view of the fact that seven dis
tlnct organizations of practically every
creed known to this country are inter
ested IN the big drive, 1t is felt that
OF the civic pulse. There are sections
of the country that would be grossly
offended at the mere mention Of box
ing, just as there are sections Of the
country that would blush at the
thought of Sunday sport The sport
drive is but an auxiliary Of q more prc-
tentious campaign. So care is to be
taken that offence shall not be given
Willingly.
But as to boxing, something unusual
may be expected, If present plans do
not miscarry. Indeed, the American
public-and, happier still. the New
York public-may have an opportunity
IN the near future of seeing the two
greatest fighting machines not mill
tary) of Europe in action. It is hoped
that Georges Carpenter, heavyweight
champion of Europe before he became
French ace, and George Wilde, the
hyweight champion of Great Britain
may come in the interests of the sports
drive before snow flies.
Influential representatives abroad are
now busy on the case. and a somewhat
reassuring cablegram was received last
night. Until the coming of Carpenter
and Wilde is an assured fact no effort
viii be made TO pick opponents for the
two invaders.
Bantam Champion Herman, however.
stands ready to meet Wilde or any one
else OF the class. Carpenter probably
would be put on with Jack Dempsey
Such a match should prove the most
attractive ring battle Of the last decade

with the heartiest cooperation from

Navy Soccer Team

From Amy Eleven

The soccer season opened yesterday
afternoon u" Columbia, the eleven from
the Naval Init defeating the Army team
by score of / to 0. The game was
bitterly fought throughout, and the
playing of both sides insures the Blue

players to use in the coming contests
with other S, A. T. c. elevens.
The only score of the game was
made by Lebanthal, the inside left,
from pass by Robinson, outside right.
Robinson played strong game all the
