SYRACUSE ELEVEN
SEEKING A CAME
With COLUMBIA
Proceeds to Be Devoted to
American University
Union in Paris.

The Syracuse eleven, which defeat
ed Dartmouth by an overwhelming
score last week, has made representa-
tons to Columbia to schedule a game
with Mcrningside Heights S. A. T. C.
eleven in the Archbold Stadium on
Nov. % or 30, the proceeds to he de-
voted to the American University
Union of Paris. An official of the
Syracuse Athletic Association CON-
ferred with Columbia officials on
Wednesday night but whether Co.
lumbia made known its preferences
as to meeting the Orange could not
be learned yesterday.
Without referring to the Syracuse
report, lowering Tyson, graduate
manager Of athletics, said that an
nouncement probably would be made
today Of the arrangements that have
been made to complete the Columbia
schedule. The open dates are Nov. IS
and Nov. 30. Yale was mentioned as
a prospective opponent on Nov. 30
provided Cornell did not keep the
date set, but the Blue has determined
not to have an eleven, so that nego-
tiations for a game with Columbia has
come to naught
1t was also made known that Penn
sylvania, having scheduled a game
with Dartmouth for Thanksgiving
Day, would not be in condition to
play Columbia on Nov 30 Lafayette
has been mentioned as a prospective
opponent of the Blue and White, fill
ing the Nov. 16 date made vacant by
the cancellation of the Stevens Insti-
tute contest.
| Fred Dawson, coach of the varsity
eleven, was still confined to his bed
| yesterday, but 1t was said that he
was suffering from an extremely light
touch of Spanish influenza, and prob
ably would be able to attend tomor-
rows game with Union as a spectator.
Early in the day he had hoped to he
able to return to duty yesterday, but
his physician would not permit him to
do so.
Tom Thorp, who was in charge of
the team again in Dawson's absence,
was forced to spend the afternoon in
comparative id1eness because early
retreat and a parade all over Morn
1ngside Heights, which kept the S. A.
T. c. busy from 4 o'clock until after
5, made practice in daylight out of the
question, and Thorp was obliged to cut
the drill to q few minutes of signal
work in the place of the searchlights
which have been fitted upon the roofs
Of the dormltories.
Thorp said that the varsity line
would be altered slightly in tomor-
rows game. Towers, the big fresh
man who reported for the first time
on Wednesday, and displayed brilliant
ability in a hard scrimmage with the
scrub, will be put in at left tackle tt
take Kraus's place. Towers ripped
the varsity line to shreds on Wednes
day and Thorp thinks he is one of the
most promising linemen in the field
Lieut.. Chester Riobb, acting captain or
the eleven, holds to the same opinion
In addition to making a shift in the
line Thorp will drop zych1insli out o,
the backfield. Houlahan, who played
at one of the halfback position.
against Amherst, win go to fulIback
and Collins, the Cornell all star half
back of three years ago, will be fittet
in at that position.
Shaw will stay at left half and Rob-
will be at quarterback. In reserv
. there will be Memmott, a capabl
quarterback; Canapery and Urls a
, halfbacks and zychlinsh at fuIlbacb
| Canapery has rounded into splendi
, condition since his return to tn
squad and may get a chance to sill
into the game against the Unto
, eleven.
