The fight for the schoolboy football
titles in the two divisions of the city
promises many surprises before cham
pionship honors are distributed. Sew
eral of Saturdays games furnished
much food for thought for the SEQ
lastic followers, the most unexpected
result being the success of Morris High
School in holding Stuyvesant High
School to q no score tie.
Stuyvesant showed winning form in
its previous contests and was looked
upon to trample heavily upon the
Morris eleven, which had been de-
cisively defeated in all it's previous
contests. However. the Stuyvesant
boys were in for big surprise, as
Morris's eleven more than held its own
during the contest Twice Stuyvesant
advanced the ball within scoring DIS
was brought to a rude stop by Morris's
strong defence.
Boys High gained additional prestige
when it triumphed easily over New
Utrecht. The losers played like a
poorly coached team and practically at

backs to their goal line.

There has been g growing interest
IN the MorningstarSchaefer game, and
1t is not unlikely that it will be one

fact that it is scheduled as the first,
Morningstar, so far, has proved the
surprise of the billiard year in the
form he has been showing in practice
clicking off remarkable runs and show
ing steadiness with the cue that he
had hitherto failed to show. On the
other hand, Young Jake Schaefer is
likely to surprise even his strongest
admirers with his skill.
The match between George B. SUIT

to be interesting. Both have spent
their lives perfecting themselves at
the balkline game and possess knowl-
edge of its technique that is not sur
passed by any two men in America.
The Hoppe Cochran contest is un.
doubtedly one of the most attractive
matches on the schedule. Billiard fol-

contest. In spite of the fact that
Hoppe has been supreme for a long
time, there are thousands who believe
that the youthful contender Cochran
carries in his fingers the magic that
can defeat even the balkline king.

Columbia Football
Players Face Hard
Task This Week

The Columbia football coaching staff
will have the squad out this afternoon
to get flying start on week of hard
workouts. While the mentors were not
displeased with the teams showing
against Williams, there are many faults
that cropped out that must be correct
ed before the Amherst game Saturday.
All the men came out of the contset
last Saturday in good condition.
The team appears to have arrived,
the playing against the Williams eleven
on the whole beinx exceptionally good.
An attack must be developed, as was
with but few yards to gain the Blue
and White had no trick plays with
which to gain the needed distance. The
playing of Quigley and Shaw was pleas
ing to the coaches, who will endeavor to
build up an attack around these two
men. Their open field work against
Williams was brilliant.
The line exhibited lack of expert
ence against the seasoned Williams
men. However, when it is considered
that five of the forwards are new this
year the showing was not at all bad.
| Now that the men on the line know the
power of their own backfeld they will
play with more confidence, and should
go along much better for the rest of
the season.
The men must learn to follow the
ball, the contrast in this respect with
the Williams forwards being pitiful A
Williams man was on the ball after
every tumble. The tackling of the Co
lumbia men with few exceptions is
still very poor. Time and again after
hitting a man the tackler lost his grip
only to allow the man to get away. On
the whole, however, the team showed q
great improvement over the playing in
the Vermont game.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 19.-Pljnce-

that will be second in size only to that
of the Harvard game, when Colgate
meets the Tigers in the Palmer Stadium
on Saturday. The Hamilton eleven is
filling the place of the Dartmouth game
on Princeton's schedule, and the con-
test will give the first real index as to
the football strength at old Nassau.
The West Virginia game slated for the
following Saturday will also be hard
contest for the Tigers, especially as it
will come only week before Harvard
invades Old Nassau.
Special trains will be run to Prince
ton on the Pennsylvania Railroad for
the Colgate game, and several classes

occasion of reunions. The alumni in
the vicinity of New York and Philadel-
