Fordham Men
Getting Busy
On Griidiron
Coach Siskind Working With
Fifty Candidates-Frisch
Only Veteran

Football at Fordham University is
in full swing. The S. A. 7. c. unit, IT
can be said now, will, be represented
by an eleven that will compare favor
ably with some OF the star aggrega
tlons that brought gridiron glory to
The old Maroon in former years.
Although nearly every member OF
last years varsity has enlisted in some
branch Of the service, the lone cxcep-
tion being the star back, Frank
Frisch. there is wealth of material
from which good team may be de-
vclopcd. Between forty and fifty men
arc reporting daily to Coach Eddie
Sskind. who is putting them through
the rudimentary football drill. A great
many Of these candidates for the post
team are former prep school stars.
F'risch. the sterling back of last
years varsity, who will be remembered
by Fordham rooters for his zig-zag
runs. is slated to captain the team.
Coach Siskind plans to build his entire
attack around this brilliant gridiron
star.
The most likely candidates for the
other positions arc some young men
who have won fame in various prep
schools in the East. Harden. of Brook
lyn Prep, youngstcr who weighs 16S
pounds and will probably fill one Of
the tackle positions, and Drye, of Ste
vens Prep, a big husky who is very
fast and is showing ability as punt
er, seems to have the choice Of the
other tackle position.
For the guards Reilly of St. Benc-
diets Prep, Jersey City, weighing 176
pounds, with several years prep school
experience, and Lusardi, who strips at
wi Do Ill
School. are the most likely candidates.
Although Lusard's experience on the
gridiron has been somewhat limited
he has the car marks of star line
man.
There arc several men trying out
for centre. But up TO date Mulry
seems to have the call.
For The end positions Coach Siskind
is fortunate to have two men who are
familiar with the Fordham style Of
play. These are Corsello, who was n
sub end on the varsity last season and
got into several of the games. and
Garvey, who was an end on the Ford
ham Prep. Both these men arc show

h'b,tlon characterized Meyers's efforts
with Lively. the odds-on favoritc Of the
last race. This, too, was over the route,
but Lively was SO good that the young

did not have to tire himself coaXing
speed. Lively led all the way, and in
hard drive through the stretch out
gamer Peep Sight, which proved the
contender most of the way.
Il. E. Watkins, with the assistance Of
Eddie Tapln, put over one of the really
good things of the meeting in the fifth
race. The foun year old chestnut geld
ing, Langdcn, a thoroughbred that has
had rs tough racing luck as any that
can be recalled, came back after long
lay-otf and took this six furlongs dash
1t needed a Tapln to save first money
for after making all the pace Langdcn
tired quickly in the final sixteenth
and barely lasted, unden punishment
to win by the narrowcst imaginable of
nose finishes.
Landen, backed from 4 to I to 13 to
b, carried more money, perhaps, than
any starter of the afternoon. But his
victory was anything but popular rs
testified by the Kisses and cat-calls that
gneeted the placings. The biased par
tisans near the finish were Of the opin-
ion that Bathilde had Cotton up in the
last stride. The finish was so close
that none but the judges were com
petcnt to judge. Thistle, the favortc
of this race, was outrup all the way.
Tapln scored another striking tri-
umph in the second rocc with Gloomy
Gus, the outsider Of a field of four
This one was shuhled back on the
backstretch and apparently knocked out
of it. But he came around the field on
the stretch turn and ran over the
bunch, outgaming Manistcr To in the
last tiefty yards. After learding to the
stretch Assume went all to pieces
kashmin seemed pounds the best of
tho field, but suffered from an atrocous
ride on the part of Erickson, who
f1oundered about in the saddle all the
way as if fearful of some accident.
Jockey L. Ensor scored n clever win
with Madam Byng in the opening dash
of five and a half furlongs. He
crowded quickly out after Apple Jack
End from the extreme outside position
and raced this fellow into submission
before the bend, then drew away and
won with case. Goldvale broke slowly
and had to pick her way through a
broken field, but closed with a great
rush IN the last quarter.

The Times-Union gives the story of
a romantic affair that took place on
Seaboard train between ST. Peters
burg and Tampa Sunday. 1t was the
marriage of Miss Viola Hansen of st.
Petersburg to Second Lieutenant c.
w. McMullen of the quartermaster
corps. Lieut.. MeMullen, who is sta
toned at Camp Gordon, had been to
his home in st. Petersburg on visit
10 his relatives and his fiance AS he
was about to leave Sunday night, he
and the young lady decided that they
would have all the happiness the war
would spare to them and marry i'm
mediately. By the time they obtain
ed license and clergyman, it was
also time for the train to leave, and
the only way to carry out the pro-
gram was to be married on the train.
So they and the minister boarded the
train and their hands and lives~were
joined while it sped northward up
the Pinellas peninsula. The marriage
will be of interest to Company A men,
for Lieut.. McMullen was with them
on the border. He was a lieutenant
in the old Second Regiment, but HAD
resigned and was entirely a civilian
when the guard was called out in
June, 1916. There being no commits,
sion open for him, he re-enlisted as a
private, but was soon appointed SER
geart. He was transferred into our
company at Laredo and came home
with it. He went into one of the Of
ficers' training camps of the first
series, and won a second lieutenant's
commission. He and his bride will
not have any more sincere well wish
ers than his old comrades of Com
pany A.

Since the long-range German can
non began its bombardment of Paris,
it has come to light that our naval
ordnance experts have plans for a
gun that will send a shell over 100
miles. Our ordnance office does not
seem to think that such guns are
worth while, as there is no certainty
of their hitting anything of military
value. With the sort of warfare that
the Germans are handing out, how
ever, it may be necessary for the
Allies to mount such guns and shell
every German town in range. The
Germans have no mercy on the wom-
en- and children of the Allies; per-
haps if their own were butchered it
might teach them some consideration.
