Lack of Team Play and Weak
Attack Brings 20 to 0
Defeat.
Special Despatch to THE HERALD.


BOSTON, Mass oct. 9.--Fordham was
unequal to the task of beating Boston
College to-day in the first football game
of the home teams season. The New
York boys held the home players score
less for the first period, but in the second
their goal line was crossed twice. Toward
the end of the game Fordham. trying 4
forward pass in its own territory. had
down..
The score was 30 TO 0, the New York
eleven showing lack of team play. Bos-
ton has been drilling with a lot of vet
cram players for nearly five weeks. and
while the teams defence showed lack OF
experience it's ability to carry the ball
was apparent throughout the game.
Halloran and Steele played a splendid
game in the backfield. but the Fordham
line was outclassed. The visitors attack
started well, but had no punch. and there
never was chance to win. In the sec
ond period Boston got going, but would
not have scored so soon had not O'Brien
blocked Steeles kick on Fordhams 30
gard line, Comerford getting the ball for
the home team close to the goal one
play was stopped and then Corrigan
slipped around the end for touchdown.
The second score was the result of a
fifteen yard run by Comerford, who took
forward pass from Urban. In the last
quarter, after Fordham had braced on
defence Bostan got break when Com
erford sent a forward pass deep IN
Fordhams territory, Urban getting the
ball before it touched the ground and
racing across the goal line.

score.
In the first half Harvard was stopped
three times inside the visitors 3O-yard
line, the interference being loose and the
visitors showing great ability in smear
ing plays. Harvard three times tried to
score by the field goal route, after being
stopped but Horween and Buell. both
missed shots from points near the goal
and Faxon miscued on a 40-yard place
ment kick, following a fair catch
In the last half, however, things were
different. Harvard had substitutes in
the game to play against the visitors,
who went through with only one shift
in their lineup. At the start of the
third quarter Harvard gained 40 yards

yard run back by Churchill The ball
was passed back and forth on fun1bes
and then Harvard. starting on the 25-

broken field and got across the goal

The second touchdown came as the
result of nine rushes from the 2l-yard
line, where the ball was secured for
Harvard when Cering, the Valparaiso
quarterback, dropped KICK. Harvard
then put forth real drive, working
the ball over for q touchdown in nine
plays and Capt. Horween making the
final smash.
The third and last touchdown was
scored by Hamilton in the last few
seconds. He found a big hole in the
visitors right wing. broke through ana

but when within thirty yards of the
posts Hamilton sidestepped Ccring and
completed his sprint for touchdown.

Mrs. Hurd has reputation as a driver

forced to play the odd continually. put
ting her at a disadvantage at the start.
And on virtually every hole which per-
mitted the use of a brassie for the sec

farther away after each had played her
second.
The gallery was not long in doubt as
to the outcome. Mss Stirling annexed
the first three holes. and thus almost

Stirling got into trouble on the fourth

the business at hand with such purpose

Upper Montclair Player De-
feats Garrett Hobart for
Tourney Honors, 10 and 8.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

Whatever their good intentions in
scheduling the final of their annual in
vitatlon golf tournament over thirty5six
holes. the officials Of the Arcola Country
Club probably are ready to admit that
the scheme Is apt to have its shortcom-
ings. For instance when II so happens
that one of the finalists Is on his game
and the other off, or when the pair are
not exactly of the same calibre. there is
liable TO be such q runaway in the morn
ing as 70 rob the match Of all interest
In its later stages. On the other hand.
when the test is at eighteen holes the
gallery generally can count on going
Wen over the second nine of the course

shaking between the fnalists.
In the final thirty-six holes decided
yesterday between William NJ. Reelie of
Upper Montclair. holder of the New Jer-
sey State amateur championship, and
Garrett Hobart of Arcola. twenty-seven
holes were required to settle which Of
the two was to win the chief cup and
which the runnerup prize. Reekie was
the victor by the overwhelming margin

On the first eighteen holes the New

Starting the afternoon circuit 1t looked
az even that overwhelming handicap was
TO be nothing at all for the home repre-
sentative to overcome. With a bunker
shot that was reminiscent of the great
Harry Vardon himself the Arcola man
won the second from Reekie. and he
came again at the third with a game
that was fautless to win in 3 to 4.
Only up, II looked as if after all Reekie
was to have a fight on his hands But
instead of standing up in that bristling
never say die style Hobarts game began
gradually to droop and wither like the

Just as there are horses that do better
on some racetracks than on others also
there are courses which golfers feel that
they want to play over and over again.
Arcola has that sort OF fascination for
Reekie. On that fine conditioned stretch
of turf it seems that lie seldom goes far
off form. 1t was at Arcola that he won
the New Jersey STATE cham 1ionship
earlier in the year. so it is not surprising
that he should have entered the invita-
ton tournament keen for golf and strong
for battle.
