its progress is pretty nearly al

LOSING TIE SCHOOL FUND

1t is reported from Atlanta that
some ninety counties have failed to
comply with the requirements of the
law with regard to the naming of a
compulsory attendance officer in
the schools. There are eighty-six
cities and towns, it is reported, in
the same condition. These compul-
sorry officers are to be named before
the state funds for schools are avail
able and no county or system which
has filled to do that, can draw the
state money. The compulsory at
tendance officer must be provided
first. This is the new plan for en-
forcing school attendance. The
school fund for each county and
city or township system is tied up
in this novel proviso and the warn.
ing has been given that law will be
followed to the very letter. No at
tendance officer. no money. The
slow counties must act.
The stress of school attendance
will be very effective and, many
educational leaders hope, it will be
the eventual means of solving illiracy
problems. Few people yet realize the
meaning of the law which was
passed last summer in the interest
of larger school attendance 1t was
wide sweep in the interest of the
unedudlted child that everybody
can hope will mean great good.

Coach Dumoe Makes
Several Ch anees
In FOrdhaf1l Line

The Fordham University football
team went through another long drill
at Fordham Field yesterday afternoon
in preparation for the contest with
Georgetown on Saturday. The scrub
team spent the early part of the work
out practicing the plays which Coach
Exedine's eleven is expected to spring
against the Maroon. Dumoe then held
long scrimmage, in which the varsity
team tried out their shifts to be used
against the Georgetown defense.
Dumoe has made the long expected
changes in the Maroon line. Banks,
who has completely recovered from
the injury which has kept him out of
the game since the beginning of the
season, has regained his old position at
end in place of Ryan. AexarAier has
supplanted Farrell at tackle and Miller
is back at the pivot position. Steele is
not yet back in the regular lineup, but
the star Maroon quarterback should be
leading the team to-day.
Although Fordham has obtained a
few tie verdicts the Maroon has not
gained a victory over Georgetown in
several years and the students of the
Bronx institution are determined to
avenge the long string of defeats to
which they have been subjecte at the
hands of the Southerners.

Harvard Wary,
Coaches Call
Off Scrinmage
Captain Horween Now Like
ly to Start Against Centre; ;
Sedgwick Lost to Team
From a Spectnl Correspondent


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 21-Har-
ward cannot afford to add any more
tender men to her football squad, so
Head Coach Fisher this afternoon
called off a scrimmage with the fresh
men and the coaches devoted their time
to polishing up the fundamental play
of the team.
Captain Horween played fullback on
the regular eleven during dummy
scrimmage and will be in shape to
start the Centre game. While the team
could spare its leader Extensively, his
wide experience on the defense makes
the coaches feel safer with him in play.
Joe Fitzgerald, the former Mullen
berg quarterback, ran the regulars and
will start Saturdays contest. Winnie
Churchill, the short, elusive halfback,
was also in the first eleven's lineup.
The chances are that he will supplant
Dick Humphrey against Centre. George
Owen played the third back The
young sophomore in playing against
Centre establishes a record, being the
only man in the Harvard backfield who
has started every game.
Havemeyer, Woods and Kane were in
the regular lineup this afternoon. Jack
CASTOR, the best end on the squad, did
not take part in the workout, but will
play Saturday. Duke Sedgwick's neck
still bothers him. 1t therefore was de-
cided definitely to- day. that Faxon will
start the big game atgtackle.
Harvard's coaches look for victory
by at least three touchdowns. Centre
is due tomorrow afternoon and will
practice in the Stadium.

Columbia Mentor
Still Handicapped
By Many Injuries

BY BRIGGS

Speed and plenty Of driving power
were the watch words at South Field
yesterday afternoon when Coach Buck
O'Neil sent the Columbia varsity
through long workout. Contrary to
expectations no scrimmage was held.
Instead O'Neil gave the linemen long
session of line blocking besides a
workout on the one-man bucking ma
chine. The ends and backfield men
tackled the dummy and practiced for
ward passing and running back punts.
O'Neil is still confronted with a long
injury list. Walder. a guard. who in
jured his ankle in the New York Uni
vcrsity game, is still incapacitated,
while Canapary, the star back, is com
planning Of case of charley horse"
Thornton is nursing an infected arm.
Moszczenski is also on the hospital
list. Modarelli was back on the field
yesterday and will probably start in
Saturdays contest against Wesleyan.
The varsity lined up yesterday with
Captain Jack Kienninger at the pivot
position. He was flanked by Hinch
and Miller, two of the heaviest men on
the squad. Hinch tips the beam at 21O
while Miller weighs 225. Galloway, the
giant negro, is still holding forth at
right tackle, to which position he was
shifted early in the week. Modarclli
played left tackle. Scovil was paired
off with Forsythc on the wing posi-
tions. The backfeld as it was consti-
tuted yesterday lined up with Burt and
Johnstone as halfbacks, Applebaum as
tullback and EldeS as quarterback.

Centre Boys and Coach
Confident of Victor,

DANvILLE, Ky, Oct. 21.-The spe-
cial train carrying the Centre College
football eleven, which will play Har-
ward at Cambridge Saturday, left here
early to-day. Besides twenty-seven
players the train also carried about 500
boosters, including college students and
Danville citizens. A crowd numbering
several thousand was at the station
and gave the team a rousing send off
All Danville is highly excited over
the game with Harvard. The players
and Coach Charles Moran are confident
of winning. Moran, it was said, is of
the belief that the game will be close,
but expects his stars, especially Nc
MILAN, quarterback; Roberts, fullback,
and Weaver, center, to carry Centre
to victory.
Harvard, however, is considered by
football experts as having the best
chance to win, owing to its having sew
eral hundred players from which to
pick team. whereas Centre has only
about fifty-five.

Brothers Won't Meet
In H0nover Contest

1T is extremely regrettable that
the first of the brothers games,
that between Syracuse and Dart
mouth. at Hanover, N. H., to-mor-
row will not find the freres Harry
and Jim Robertson opposed to each
other. Jim, star back, as we'll as
capable leader of the Green, injured
his shoulder in the Penn State
Dartmouth struggle a few weeks
ago, and it is doubtful if he will be
able to play again this season.
Harry, captain of the Orange, is
a star lineman, having shifted this
season from center to end, where he
is doing brilliant work. Jim broke
an ankle in the Dartmouth
game at the Polo Grounds last year.
Harry has never been hurt in play.
Such is fate. On November 13 the
Callahan brothers, captains of Yale
and Princeton, will clash head on.
