Ruddya Leading Norman
After 770enty-tiue Years

| Twenty five years in athletic compe~
tltlon, and still q leader in the sport of
his choice.
That's the amazing record of Joseph
A. Ruddy, swimmer and all l'round ath-
lete, who has just been selected again
for the captaincy of the famous water
polo team of the New York A. c., that
remarkable aggregation of veterans
with recent victories to its credit over
the strongest college and club teams
in the field
1t was in the fall of 1893 that Ruddy
made bis first bid for laurels, win
nlng l00-yard swim at meet under
the direction of the old Cygnct Boat
Club, and from that day to this he has
never been idle, taking up at various
times football, baseball, basketball
boxing, wrestling, swimming, fancy
diving and water games, and making
his mark in each
Aquatlcs, however, has been from
the start his favorite line of endeavor.
and several hundred medals and cups,
a number of championships won in in
dlvldual swims, relay races and water
polo, attest to his brilliant success. He
earned his earliest national title trophy
IN 1898 as member of the polo team
of the late Knickebock A. c., and he
continued thereafter to help yearly in
the capture of the championship at this
sport, until the last title was awarded
IN 1908, the A. A. U. subsequently dis
cardlng polo in favor of the less siren
uous game of water soccer
When this occurred Ruddy became
devotee of the new sport, then leader of
the Mercury Foot players, taking rank
among the country's ablest forwards.
But ne returned to the former game
when it came back into favor last win
ter, under the modified form of collegi-
ate polo, and it speaks clearly of his
unlmpalred ability that in the matches
since played, all victories for his team,
he scored more goals than any two
stars engaged.
Nor is there any doubt that were a
vote to be taken at present among
members of rival squads the great
majority would name him the hard
est opponent they ever met in hand
to-hand encounter in the water. Tin
ping the scale at 180 pounds, strong
as an OK, untirable, expert in aquatic
wrestling, and able to stay under water
LOT more than two minutes without
turning hair, he is as formidable an
antagonist as ever followed the cruel
ling game of tackles and scrimmapes.
1t may be questioned if history con-
talns more remarkable case of sue
cessful longevity in athletics than that
of the New York A. c. veteran.
The announcement made few days
ago that the Intercollegiate Swimming
Assoclation will shortly hold meeting
to discuss plans for the season is most
gratifying. The annual gathering of
delegates did not take place in Octo-
Der, as customary, and it was feared
that war activities at our universities
might cause water sports to be con-
fined to intramural competition. But
1t now looks as ii the usual fixtures
wlll be decided upon, and there is

Bethlehem Eleven
Beats I orontoMen
For Second Time

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 3O-For the
second time in two weeks, Bethlehem
the soccer champion of the United
States, to-day defeated a specially Sc
ected team from all the talent which
Toronto, the Queen City of Canada, has
at it's disposal. The score was 2 to O.
There was record attendance for a
soccer crowd in Canada, and notwith-
standing that the weather conditions
were anything but favorable. 1t was
rain that spoiled the first game at
Newark a week ago Sunday, but it was
snow that marred the second contest
at Toronto
The Bethlehem team showed some
change from that which won the New
ark game, Ratican playing for Easton
at centre forward, Butler appearing at
inside right and Pepper going to left
field. The Toronto side had several
changes, including two new backs, and
altogether, was considered a stronger
aggregation than played at Harrison
Field.
The game was fraught with great
excitement at the start the Canadians
going into their WORK in manner
which for short time rather upset
the United States champions. Duncan
was, however, able to negotiate all the
shots that were sent to him, although
one gave him some trouble
The Toronto team played in a man
ner which raised the hopes of theil
many supporters, but it was quite evi-
dent that the Bethlehem lot were re-
serving their energies until the second
half. The visitors relied on their de-
fence being able to keep their goal
intact. and at periods the forwards
made brilliant dashes for the opposing
goal.
When the interval arrived without
any scoring the verdict was that the
teams had under the bad ground con-
dltlons put up Il splendid display. The
second half was quite different, for
during the whole forty-6ve minutes
the Bethlehem champions were the su-
rerior lot. and their play delighted the
onlookers. 1t was some time, however,
before the scoring was opened, but
when the ice was broken it was we'll
deserved. Forrest. the inside left, ac-
cepted bail placed to his foot, and
making no mistake let drive. leaving
the Toronto goal keeper no chance to
save.
McKelvey made a second goal some
timc later from different angle. This
proved to be the last of the scoring
The winners were given quite an ova-
ton, and were voted splendid all
round team. They secured a valuable
cup for their victory.

$4,000 Needed to
Restore Stadium
F or Harvard Men

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 30.~-It will cost
the Harvard Athletic Association in Ne
vicinity of $4,000 to put Soldiers
Field in shape again for use as a foot
ball field and baseball diamonds.
The biggest item will be the outlay
for ground building in the Stadium.
The work IF putting the football grid
iron back TO its 1916. shape will cost
$4,000 Not only has the entire field
to be resodded, but the grade has also
to be replenishcd and evened. The
need of an entirely new underground
surface was made necessary on account
of the fact that last December this ma
terial was distributed so as to make
Navy Yard Newport Naval Reserves
contest. The covering of the grdiron
itself down for quite way was we'll
hardened by the frost.
After the work of grading the
ground, the entire field must have
a new covering of sod. Football fields,
unlike baseball diamonds, cannot be
put into shape by seeding. Stadium
field has been in wretched condition
all autumn, but fortunately no con-
tests have had to be played in rainy
weather.
The varsity and freshman baseball
helds must also be treated. The out
lay here will be between $4,000 and
$4,000. The constant use of these
grounds by the Naval Radio and Har-
ward service units for drilling pur-
poses has cut up the 5nfields and made
the outfields ragged, and no place for
an outfielder. The work will probably
be started with the spring, with Dennis
Enwrlght, the groundskeeper in charge.
Cons iderable attention will have to
ne given to the 1emodelling of the foot
ball field, but the university diamond
can be made ready with rapidity. When
the present varsity ball field was built.
only nine days were taken to do
the job. and considerable number of
bleachers had to be built in addition
to putting the diamond in shape. Har-
wards lnfield is one of the best in the
country.
