To Discuss Plans
For New Stadium

The committee on athletics Of Co
lumbia University announced yester-
day that a meeting of the alumni Of
the school will be held Friday evening,
October 10, at the Columbia Club, 4
West Forty third Street, to discuss
athletic conditions and possible drastic
changes in the policy of athletics, 20
gether with the possibility of building
new athletic stadium. The need for
new stadium has long been felt. but
has not yet been acted upon because Of
unsettled conditions during the war
The site of the new stadium would
be the marshy land at the foot Of ll6th
Street, which Columbia could obtain
merely by the Improvement provided
by an act of the Legis lature. The land
would be large enough for the building
Of three fields and would supply the
need for spacious athletic fields for the
school.
The assistance Of the graduates viii
be asked in coaching the teams, in
sending preparatory and high school
stars to Columbia, in practical sugges-
tions to the graduate manager of ath-
letics and in active support Of the
teams. The status Of football N re-
gard 10 the extension of the schedule
and the possibility Of meeting members
Of the big SIX on the gridiron Will
also be discussed. 1t is felt that the
time is at hand when Columbia can
once more meet these teams on an
equal footing. and as the fveyear
agreement ends this year this question
VIII come up.
The announcement by the athletic
committee also informs for the first
time that Andy Coakley, former Ameri-
can League star, will again be back

Yale Candidates Practise
Defences Against Passes

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Oct. NO
actual scrimmage was attempted by
any of the Yale elevens day. The
coaches found the playing surface in
the bowl soft and heavy. and decided
to develop a defence for the forward
pass For twenty-five minutes the
varsity was kept busy knocking down
the tosses attempted by the first col
lege team. which tried forty, but which
was unable to make more than SIX go.
The varsity was placed al its own
20yard line, but the rival eleven was
unable TO gain even this distance dur
ing the afternoon. In al eases the
varsity players blocked, but did not
intercept the passes. There were two
sessions Of signal rehearsing for the
four elevens which were on the field
one preceding the forward passing the
other following it.
Joe Neville. who was injured ye-ter-
day. was on the field with MS arm in
sling.

is much speculation as to who will
START Saturdays game Strublng again
played snappy game at quarter. He

The lineup:

Destefano, the former star from De
Witt Clinton High in New York City,
has displayed much ability at fullback
during the week of scrimmaging, and
it would cause no great surprise if he
should be the one to start at this
position in Saturdays opening game.
He is one of the best tossers Of for

build makes him exactly the type OF
fullback that is needed TO piece out q

Lyndon Rushcroft was n tall. saggy

erectness he was inclined to sag from
the shoulders down. His head, huge

yet he carried It manfuliy, even the

soned face were like burrows; his nose
was large and somewhat bulbous, his
mouth wide and grim. Thick. black
eyebrows shaded pair Of eyes In
which white was no longer apparent
1t had given way to a permanent red.
A two-days' stubble covered his chin
and cheeks. Altogether he was a sin

An ancient Hyracusan ship-a Greek

by Prof. w. 8. Ferguson Of Harvard in

Professor Ferguson said Il was of
the three-deck type. with 20 banks Of
oars, that required one whole year in
building. and which was manned by
a crew Of 300 sailors. together with
coo marines.
In its hold II would carry 10000
bushels Of wheat, wool. thousands Of
Jars Of salt fish and other foodstufIs.
Its cabins were decorated with elab-

Its chambers included Z gymnasium.

these luxuries and necessities, Il had
equipment and engines Of defense
which gave It the character almost Of
a ship Of war.
