Governor-Elect Will
Start 6-Day Riders
On Their long Grind

Governor-elect Alfred e. Smith has
accepted the invitation to act as start
er Of the international six-day bicycle
race, which will start next Sunday
night at Madison Square Garden. The
Governor will fire the pistol that will
start the international stars on their
day journey for the 100000 in prize
money promptly at midnight.
Marcel Dupuy and Henri Gerwig are
due here from France within forty
eight hours. Dupuy needs no intro
duction to the six-day fans. Gerwig
is making his first trip to this country.
During the past two years he has been
the cycling sensation of Europe. In
France he is hailed as the greatest
champion that ever rode under the
tricolor. He has beaten Dupuy, Egg
and other stars on the other side at
everv distance from one to fifty miles.
Gerwig has been fighting the Boche
ever since the war started. Because
of his cycling ability he has acted as
quarters of the French commander
and has been cited several times for
heroic service.
Dupuy is chaperoning this newest
sensation and predicts that Gerwie
will be one of the most popular CON
testants in the race. Unless Dupuy
insists upon riding with Gerwig. the
latter may be teamed with Frank
Kramer, making it the strongest
Franco-American combination in the
classic

Zbyszko Will Engage Joe

Of Long Card
By Fred Hawthorne

Whenever promoters of wrestling
bouts run out of pet adjectives where
with to describe their favorite indoor
sport, they always fall back upon the
statement that it is "the oldest sport
in the world
Far be it from us to deny the state
ment, but as the veteran of a hundred
far-hung wrestling campaigns we feel
impelled to declare that the mother Of
wrestling must have been awfully fond
of children to bring the little fell
low up.
What is one mans meat is another
mans rough rats. so pray do not
take our remarks as outlined above
seriously, if you take your wrestling
seriously. We know a whole crowd of
people who have taken wrestling up in
a serious way. This world contains many
honest voters who are just as proud

and our bright smile lighted up the
whole office, but then the Sporting
Editor came over and patted US on the

"Now, my little man, won't you please
write US nice little story about the
big wrestling carnival at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night. Make
it SNAPPY, and you shall have TWO
Jumps of sugar in your katie hag III

ANN
But, somehow, we began to feel per-
fectly mis'able, and we know that we

far. We never knew the Sporting Edi-

F ordham Starts Work
For Coming Battle
With Georgetown

Although somewhat battered from its
hard game with Camp Merritt on Satur-
day, the Fordham S. A. T. C. eleven
went through a light signal drill yes
tcrday afternoon. $everal of the reeu-
lars were pretty badly used up. But
the injuries are of such a nature that
the coaches expect to have every man
in fit condition for the game with
Georgetown at Fordham Field on
Thanksgiving Day.
The Maroon eleven, although out
weighed many pounds. and without the
services of Captain Frisch and Ma
honey, who were kept out Of the game
because of minor injuries, gave the
Camp Merritt team a great battle. The
score did not indicate the difference
of playing strength Of the teams. On
several occasions the Fordham team
was within scoring distance.
Once an incompleted pass on the
eight-yard line and another time a
tumble within the shadows of the Mer-
ritt goal posts spoiled the Maroon !
chances to score a touchdown. Wer.
it not for these misplays the resu
might have been entirely different.
Coaches Siskind and Smith are Civ
ing every effort to get the squad in
shape for the Georgetown game. The
Southerners arc heralded TO have a
team that compares favorab'y with
their champion hip teams of the past
years. This game, besides having q
sectional interest, will decide the
Catholic championship of the East.
Neither team has been defeated by an
S. A. 7. C. eleven this season.
