Plan Fordham
Football Date
With VIVA.

Fordham and West Virginia are likely
to clash upon the gridiron next season.
Negotiations are now under way for
football game between the two univer
stiles, and if the negotiations go
through the contest will be played on
the home field of. the Southerners at
Morgantown, w. Va. The Mountaineers
made an offer to the Bronxmen several
weeks ago, and the terms are under
stood to be satisfactory to Fordham.
nounced yesterday that the game is
now before the alumni board of the
Southern college for final ratification.
West Virginia has cut quite figure
In the collegiate football world in the
last two seasons. Buck Rogers, one Of
the best backs in the East during 1915
and 1917, will lead the team next year.
The team made a number of long trips
last season, meeting, among others,
Dartmouth and Rutgers.
The Fordham management also an
nounced that an offer had been received
from West Virginia University for a
game at Charlestown on Thanksgiving
Day. The Maroon alumni board turned
down the offer, deciding that the locals
should follow custom and play at home
on this date.
Although the Colby proposition to
play at Portland has not been rejected,
1t is not likely that the Bronxmen will
travel there next season, especially if
West Virginia decides to play Fordham.
Two long trips would not be consid-
cred. If Fordham plays West Virginia
it will be the longest trip ever taken
by a Maroon eleven.
Fordham intends to carry on it's grid
iron campaign on normal basis, de-
spite the fact the majority of the men,
bers of the 1917 eleven are in the ma
ton's service. Only one or two regu-
lars will be available for next season.
The selection of coach for next year
will not be made before the end of the
collegiate year.

Lewis Practices
deadlock on a
Wooden Dummy

"Strangler" Ed Lewis, who meets
Wladek Zbyszko in a heavyweight
championship wrestling match to a
finish in Madison Square Garden on
Tuesday night, has had to overcome
many obstacles in preparing for this,
the most important match of his career.
Because every wrestler fears Lewis's
deadlock, the Southe rner has been I'M
able to get wrestling partners. Being
of an inventive mind, however, Lewis
has solved the problem to offset his
failure to engage wrestling partners
by inventing a wooden dummy, which
Is an exact replica of human head.
With this novel device, which Lewis
clamps in his massive arms, he can
practice and improve the deadly head
lock without danger of hurting any
ones feelings.
The dummy is in halves, held apart
a few inches by three steel springs. In
training he grabs the dummy Just as
he would an opponents head when he
secures the deadlock. With the heels
of his open hands pressed against the
lower jaw, he brings into play the
great strength in his arms and over
comes the resistance of the springs,
squeezing the halves of the head as
close together as possible. This fur
nlshes better training than he could
get working with a regular wrestling
partner. In the latter case he could
not use all his strength for fear of
manning his partner
Lewis has three sets of springs, that
can be fitted to the dummy head. SO
that he may practice light, medium and
heavy exertions. just now he is work
ing with the heavy springs, REALIZING
that 1T will require a really heavv
squeeze to subdue the Polish toe ex.
pert.

points by capturing second place in tho
broad jump. BY taking third place in
the same event Jetfries, 10, added an
