OLD STARS RETURN

Prospects for an unusually fine fresh

dldates for the freshman boat In the
first days of fall practice shows that
there is no lack of interest among the
first year men. 1t must also be remem-
bered that many of the most promising
candidates are now playing football and
will not report until the spring.
Among the latter is Franklin Brodel.

is another likely prospect, especially
since he Is familiar with Rice's style.
This, another yearling and son of a
well known oarsman, has had consid-
cradle experience on the water, but has
decided not to come out for the crew
this year. He will probably try for
the varsity next season.
The tremendous popularity ~ football
on Morningside Heights this yeaS augurs
in New York. This city. one of the
biggest sporting centres in the world
has seen little big league" football since
the days of Columb!a's crack teams.
The persistent report that Pennsyl-
vania will appear on South Field next
year is only one Of the indications OF
the big games that are to come. II is
not probable, however. that any of the
Big Three will appear on the Blue and
White schedule for several years.
The boom in athletics at Columbia has
not been confined to football. however
Fencing, one of the most popular winter
sports on Morningside Heights. has
started with a rush this fall, and al

work under Coach James Murray. He

Princeton Reports Record Interest in Minor Sports
Fifteen Boats Are the Lake Every Day
Five Class Mines Are Holding Tournament.

PRINCETON, Oct 1S.-In marked con-
year finds the Princeton athletic forces
in full swing, with squads reporting
every day in all four Of the major
sports, as well as in several of the minor
ones.
The response 10 the calls for candi-
dates has been spontaneous and remark
able in every sport this fall Never be-
fore has there been such a rush of good
material to the coaches. and never be-
fore have the men entered into sports
with the vehemence and earnestness
with which their play has been marked
this year.
The work Of the football team is, Of
course, of paramount Importance In the
fall sports programme. Despite this
fact there are still enough men left to
f1ll fifteen boats at crew practice, to
provide five class baseball teams and to
send sixty men spinning around the
track every afternoon. Aside from the
major sports both soccer and cross
country have record squads, and under
graduate interest is running high in both
these branches Of fall athletics. None Of
the winter sports have been started.
The crew, track and baseball work
tNio ldli Will De VI purely
ture. The track men will have a fall
handicap meet. as they have had in for
mer years. but for the rest the work
will be designed to keep the men in
good condition throughout the autumn
The crew men are reporting daily
and are rowing on Lake Carnegie. It Is
planned to hold a fall regatta for class
boats and there will also be a regatta
for freshman boats. The fall baseball
series is well under way.
Soccer of Great Interest.
The work Of the soccer team will be
watched with great interest this year,
due to the fact that many of the men
who will compose the Princeton team
have gained their experience in service
soccer teams and in teams in foreign
countries. In fact 1t is quite likely that
the lineup OF the soccer team may take
on distinctly international flavor.
Four of the men who have reported
for the squad come from China, two
OF the men live In South Africa, thre o
have had some experience on Arabian
teams, England has taught two men
The sun., 1919-10-19

their soccer, while Canada and Japan
both claim a single player.
The material available for the team
is for the most part inexperienced as
far as varsity soccer goes Several OF
the men have played in a few varsity
games, almost all of them have played
on class teams, while the majority Of
the newcomers are experienced players
From the work of the squad at the pres
ent time 1t is quite possible to say that
the team appears to be one of the best
that Princeton has ever put on the field.
Hamilton at centre, the Canadian is fast
and inexhaustible F.; all of the men who
live in Arabia. the two West brothers
and Moore are fast, hard players and
have played on their class teams.
OF the men back from the teams Of
former years Fawcett Clark Rogers and
Garnaus are showing the best form. The
squad is coached by Mr.. Mes, who has
had wide experience as an athletic di-
rector In the army cantonments.
The schedule as announced to-day is
as follows: Nov. /, Penn at Princeton !;
Nov. s, Harvard at Princeton Nov. 10,
Yale at New Haven; Nov. 22, c. C. N. Y.
at New York Nov. 2S, Cornell at Prince
ton; Dec. 10, Haverford at Haverford
Harriers Are Out.
The cross-country squad does not pos
sess an abundance of good material, but
has on it several distance runners Of
last springs track team who are show
ing up to good advantage as well as sew
eral men from last years freshman track
team Allan Swede, the former inter-
scholastic two mile champion, and Nc
Culloch, captain of the 1921 cross-coun-
try And track teams, appear to be the
pick Of the squad.
Swede has been running in particularly
good form. and McCulloch will be re-
membered as the winner of the two l0i
event In both the Harvard and Y dc
dual meets last spring. Aside from
these men. Rogers Penfield, Savage and
Foresman are all running in nice style
All four of these men are letter men
from last spring.
The schedule for the barriers includes
the run at Syracuse on October rs, a
meet with Yale and the intercollegiate
meet in New York. The work of the
men so far has been under the direction
OF ID. r. Shotwell who won his varsity
"P'' as member Of the cross-country

SAVING WOOD.
This little puzzle in mental arithmetic
Is on the same plan as the efficiency
tests that are rapidly coming into vogue
in many of our college examinations
Any one can solve them. but It is a
question of time, of quick thinking, or
thinking in an orderly manner.
Tom can saw cord Of wood in ono
hour, Bill in two hours, Ben in four
hours, and the question is how long il
would take them to saw one cord all
working together. The way to get the
answer quickly is to see what the fastest
man could do while the slowest was on
the job.
Tom could saw four cords, bill two
cords and Ben one cord in four hours

AUCTION BRIDGE.
BY n. r. FOSTER.

THERE is always a peculiar attrac.
ton for the student OF auction
in hands In which there is biz
Swing" In many of these hands II
will be found that there is some in
structive point in the bidding or the
play that may be useful as a hint for
future use.
1t is hardly probable that players will
ever entirely agree upon the question Of
the original bid when there is a decided
choice between two calls. either OF which
would be perfectly sound on general
principles. Human nature has great
deal to do with the declaration, but the
difference between the adventurous bid
der and the safe player is probably
more strongly marked lin hands with one
big suit and sure reentry than in any
other class of hands, not excepting the
choice between a major suit and no
trumps.
Here Is a curious example OF this DIFF
ference of opinion in the bidding, and
also Of the difference in ability in the
play. The deal went the rounds OF
duplicate game last winter, and is a fine
example of variety.

Townley brought about his own undoing
by playing right into the hands of the
big fellow. He made big mistake in
carrying the fight TO Fulton, who did
nothing but stall" for the first half OF
the round, and he made the fullest use Of
his overwhelmingly superior weight by
laying on. In fact, he clinched and laid
on more than should have been permits
sible, and Townley must have wasted a
lot OF his strength in pushing Off his pom
derous adversary.
