Shaw. HIalfback. and Nc
Cabe, Quarterback, Or
dered to Officers School
BY Charles A. Taylor

Fred Dawson, coach Of the Colum-
bia football teams, is in the same boat
az the Kaiser. He Is wondering Just
whore and when the Fochs OF the War
Department are going to hit him next.
Dawson had his four battalion elev-
ems all organized In accordance with in
structions from Washington and had
already picked out few OF the most
promising players with an eye to using
them for possible varsity team, when
bang! came an order from tho Wash
ington front which snatchcd two Of his
best bets right out of the reckoning.
The two men on whom Dawson was
counting as foundation tones, so to
speak, Of the "big" eleven and who
will soon be shuntcd to parts unknown
are McCabe, quarterback on the 1915
varsity, and Shaw, halfback on last
years first team. Both players have
been ordered to report at an officers
training school and will leave Colum-
t.in before the month ends.
The coach had been using these two
veterans as quarterbacks, and he fig
one position at least settled. Now it
behooves him to unearth some more
quarterbacks.
The first step in his quest was taken
yesterday afternoon when the squad
Of sixty gridiron warriors appeared on
South Field. Dawson gave each man
in turn the ball and sent him down
the field in order to get line on the
way he handled himself, with special
reference to the speed shown. This
was followed by brief drill in tackl-
ing, the dummy being used for the
first time, and a short punting ees-
sion. The last fifteen minutes Of the
allotted period were devoted to scrim-
maging.
Among the players to attract special
notice from Dawson was Archie Brin,
the N. Y. U. centre of last year. Brin
despite mis- lack Of weight is a good
linesman, but it appears that Dawson
is planning to use him in the back
field because of the youngsters fine
defensive work and his ability to take
out men when his side is on the Of
fonsive.
The burdens under which Dawson is
struggling were lifted a bit yesterday
when he discovered that two assistants
nau Deen assigned him In LleutenantS
Robb and French. Robb was captain
elect of this years Penn State eleven,
while French was one Of the star backs
at Rutgers last season.
1t was announced that q tentative
schedule calling for games with ~
Y. u, Amherst, Union and Stevens had
been drawn up for the approval Of
the military authorities--Colonel John
?. Finley, commanding officer, and
Major Earnshaw, who has been dele
gated by the colonel to supervise the
athletic programme.

CLEVELAND, Oct. S.-The govern
mont has approved the plan Of the
National Baseball Federation to form
semi-professional league to play in

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

This "Spinnach" influenza is raising
old Hob with the activities of the boys
in our set, and it's getting so now that
a fellow can't earn an honest penny
punching another humans nose owing
to the sneezing epidemic. Several box
ing clubs over in New Jersey have been
forced to postpone their shows within
the last week, because every time they
opened their doors and windows, in
flew Enza and gummcd up the whole
works.
Good morning, have you gargled
your nose?
According to the ubiquitous press
agent, the show of the Spring A. c., Of
West Hoboken. on Friday night is 60
ing through rs scheduled, which means
that Joe Jeannette and Kid Norfolk,
the two hunks Of licorice, will do all
they can to make each other "puffeckly
mis'able" FOR eight rounds in the main
bout. Barney Adair and Bud Tracey
will do some thing similar in the other
octave.
Perhaps Joe and the Kid will enter
the ring wearing the latest thing in
influenza masks, and perhaps instead
of handing out rain checks to ticket
holders in case of postponement the
manage will distribute "sneeze

Roamer Going
To Do His Bit
For Big Loan

Roamer, one of the most renowned
and popular thoroughbreds of the
American turf, is going to do his bit
for the Fourth Liberty Loan. Andrew
Miller's aged gelding, which at the last
Saratoga meeting set worlds record
Tor mile around a turn, will "give
the boot" to the Kaiser, literally and
1iguratively.
Andrew Miller, owner OF the gal
liant, game champion announced yes
terday that he was anxious to donate
novel trophy to stimulate loan sub
scriptions at the Jamaica racotrack on
Saturday afternoon, which will be cele-
brated as Liberty Day.
Roamer made American turf history
at Saratoga, August 81 last, when he
ran to the worlds record Of 1884 is.
which shaded the great Salvator's long
standing mark of 1861, made over the
straight at Monmouth Beach. One of
the plates which Roamer carried in the
memorable battle against Father Time,
just as it came off his hoof after the
race, will be the guerdon Of the sports
man or sportswoman who offers the
largest subscription to the Liberty
Loan next Saturday afternoon. The
sentimental value Of such an emblem,
together with a picture of the son of
knight Errant, suitably framed, should
be beyond estimation to any one of
sporting blood.
The Liberty Loan drive yesterday
carried the grand total Of sales at
the track beyond the 100000 mark.
Joseph c. Murphy wired from St. Louis
a subscription of $4,000, bringing the
total for the day to $4,000. c. NJ
